DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS We have but faith—we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see; And yet we trust it comes from TheeA beam in darkness—let it grow. Tennyson. Do not Jaywalk! Be carfule with fire! "Cross crossings cautiously!" The Lord loves a cheerful liver, as well as a cheerful giver. California produces the maximum of good things and the minimum of trouble. If the Golden Rule were observed sincerely and consistently by everybody there would be very little trouble in the world. There should be some way to protect the President against the hordes of hungry office-seekers. They prey upon the strength of the chief magistrate and waste his time and wear his nerves to a frazzle. He or she who takes one person out of the bogs of illiteracy and sets that person's feet upon the high ground of enlightenment has done a good American deed and has shown a proper conception of the responsibilities and opportunities of American citizenship. It is difficult to think of the North Pole without visualizing it as a tangible object. Should Captain Amudsen reach the northern extremity of the earth's axis he will know it only by the magnetic needle and the compass. There will be no physical, visible path there, as every schoolboy. WOULD AID EDUCATION NATIONALLY Widespread interest is evinced in the Towner-Sterling bill, pending in Congress, which creates a Department of Education, with a secretary in the President's cabinet. The measure also provides federal aid for Education in the states, but prohibits federal control. It is argued, in support of the pending bill, that a Department of Education would make possible the more effective administration of many of the educational activities now distributed through several departments of the federal government. The measure, it is asserted, would make better provision for federal leadership in educational research and development. To the objection sometimes raised to the effect thatestablishing a federal Department of Education would mean federal control of education in the states, this language is quoted from the bill itself: All funds apportioned to a state shall be distributed and administered in accordance with the laws of said state in like manner as the funds provided by state and local authorities for the same purpose, and the state and local educational authorities of said state shall determine the courses of study, plans, and methods for carrying out the purposes of this section within said state in accordance with the laws thereof. And further along in the bill it is asserted that "this act shall not be construed to imply federal control of education within the state, nor to impair the freedom of the states in the conduct and management of their respective school system." Furthermore, the bill does not interfere in any way, its proponents say, with entire liberty of management of private and parochial schools. These objections out of the way, the measure seems to be intrinsically moritious. It should be considered. out of the bogs of illiteracy and sets that person's feet upon the high ground of enlightenment has done a good American deed and has shown a proper conception of the responsibilities and opportunities of American citizenship. It is difficult to think of the North Pole without visualizing it as a tangible object. Should Captain Amudsen reach the northern extremity of the earth's axis he will know it only by the magnetic needle and the compass. There will be no physical, visible pole there, as every schoolboy knows. The consistent, non-aggressional policies of the United States in dealing with foreign lands have set before the world a good and wholesome example. If all the nations were as non-aggressive as the United States, and withal as fair and considerate toward other countries, there would never be another great war. Hall to the disabled veterans of the World War! May none of them ever come to want; may the Nation care for them generously; may the people show them the gratitude which is their due; may they pass their days in peace and may they have abundance for all their needs. They fought and wrought and sacrificed grandly; theirs should be a life free from care and distress henceforth! Encouraging word continues to come from nearly all parts of the country in regard to reviving economic conditions. The coal miners' strike, of course, is somewhat depressing. But there is a general feeling that it cannot last much longer and that when a settlement is reached it will be enduring—or, at least, lay the foundation for permanent peace in the mining industry. SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH AT ALL TIMES "Buy the truth and sell it not," is the adjuration, in a proverb, of one of the wisest of men. To "buy" the truth does not mean to acquire it by handing over a monetary consideration. The truth is bought with hard labor—with constant research. It is bought by studiousness—by honest, persistent efforts to bring it to light. One should search for truth rearlessly. Search for it in politics and in civic affairs. Search for it in spiritual things. Search for it in appraising those with whom one comes into contact. Do not condemn this one, or laud that one to the skies, merely because the thoughtless do it. Seek the truth for yourself and praise or condemn men with truth as the basis. If this were done, many would not be condemned who are. The truth, and knowledge of the truth, hurt no person and no cause which are right. Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing.

Town in Review The regular semi-annual season of kidnapped Americans in Mexico has opened. If some movie star will please announce his or her engagement, or divorce, we can close our books for the year ending June 30, 1922.

NEW YORK, June 23.—The Curb Market, regarded as the real gambling place of New York City by all the rest of the country and a large part of Gotham itself, doesn't always develop the soulless, selfish creatures it is expected to. Here is John Borg, with offices at 30 Broad street. for instance, said to be the only man who ever made $2,000,000 on the "Curb," who has announced that he is through making money and is going to turn his business over to his employees. "I think that is something all successful business men should do," he says. "I have made a good fortune in the last 20 years and I believe in parsing it on. I have no illusions about making money. After a man has enough for himself and his dependents he ought to give the younger generations the benefit of his experience." The co-partnership of the former employees has already gone into effect. Far be it from me to allot sympaty to law breakers; but just as an academic proposition, one must confess to a small bit of it for some restaurants which are having a new form of prohibition endorsement applied to them. It is difficult to see just what they can do. For this effort at enforcement takes the form of an injunction which forbids them to "sell or remove any liquor from their prenices, also from keeping such liquors." Forbidden to sell, move or keep, it is going to be a problem for them to avoid violating the injuction. Co-operation won yesterday in the Supreme Court here when Justice McAvoy disallowed the suits brought by John P. Kirwan, a real estate broker, against those engaged in building the Hotel Commonwealth on the block between Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth streets, Broadway and Seventh avenue. The ending of this litigation favorably toward the Commonwealth marks the finish of such troubles, and the building of the greatest hotel will proceed without delay. The question of the soundness Commissioner Hirshfield started it off officially by demanding a 100 per cent raise for the Mayor's salary. One independent taxi driver who takes his stand outside of a Broadway hotel—as near as the big companies will let him—has a plan which has doubled the demand for his car and is allowing him to smile derisively at the big companies' drivers. It's just a simple little sign which he painted himself. "Heated" is all it says. But the hit it does make with the 'after the theatre' shiverers! "I bought one of those little cab heaters," he explained, "and hung my sign at the front of my taxi. And how it draws! Best of all, I get long-trip passengers—people who are dreading the cold ride to Yankery or Platbush. I've learned how well it pays to make people physically comfortable." One of the picturesque foreigners among us at the present time is young Ugo d'Annunzio. Picturesque, one must explain, however, largely because of the glamor which hangs about his father. For Ugo himself is quite conventional, unassuming and unstartling. He came here for the unexciting purpose of making a living and this he is doing in a position with a large automobile concern. "Sue Dear" by Bide Dudley is the latest musical comedy announcement for the summer season. It will open in another week down at Long Branch for a few day's performance, and come in to town July 10. WISE AND WITTY We don't have much regard for any man's intelligence if he disagrees with us on tariff. It's a mean trick for a girl to get a box of candy from one admirer and then share it with another.

"A cubic inch of atomic matter contains sufficient energy to raise every ship that was submarined during the war from the bottom of the sea to the top of the highest mountain in the world."—Baron Eugene Fersen, psychologist, now lecturing on the Pacific coast. LIFE ON MARS Mexico City has daylight saving. What do they want with extra daylight in Mexico? Khickerbockers for women are not going much. It looks as if they were on their last legs now. In New York, robbers dynamited a safe next door to the police station. The police escaped uninjured. The girl question in Anaheim is drawing considerable discussion—especially among the girls themselves. The girl question is, "Has he got a car?" THE BURG'S WIDE OPEN Every day or so the mayor of San Francisco gives "the key of the city" to some distinguished visitor. We don't see why. The way to political reform is not through the blood of assassination. Whiskey isn't considered whiskey these days if you can't take a drink of it and still say, "Good evening, doctor." ALL RIGHT, GIVE US THE PRIZE! Dispute about what a perfect gentleman is. Our idea of a perfect gentleman is a man who carries a pocket comb which he runs through his mustache after eating soup. If Will Hays wants to improve the movies why doesn't he fix those wires under the seats that are supposed to hold hats? THE TELEPHONE'S MONOLOGUE I am a telephone. While I am not broke I am in the hands of a receiver. I have a mouthpiece, but unlike a woman, I never use it. Fellows use me to make dates with girls, and girls use me to break said dates. Husbands call up their wives over me and call their husbands down. Co-operation won yesterday in the Supreme Court here when Justice McAvoy disallowed the suits brought by John P. Kirwan, a real estate broker, against those engaged in building the Hotel Commonwealth on the block between Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth streets, Broadway and Seventh avenue. The ending of this litigation favorably toward the Commonwealth marks the finish of such troubles, and the building of the greatest hotel will proceed without delay. The question of the soundness of the enterprise so different from the hotel promotions which have been financed by the banks, was made an issue in the case just decided and the result justifies the faith of William J. Hoggeon and his thousands of associates in this first cooperative hotel in the world. Under the plan of operation, the members will receive a rebate of twenty per cent on all the money they spend at the Commonwealth and will, in addition, receive a similar rebate on all purchases made through the shopping bureau of the hotel. We are interested in seeing what happens to "Madras House," now that it has moved uptown to compete with Broadway. It was a great success down at the Neighborhood Theatre in Grant street, but the pessimists declare that a play in which philosophy and conversation holds so important a part, and which does require from its audience a definite degree of intelligence and willingness to think, will never go so well up among the white lights. We are watching the result at the National Theatre and hoping that the pessimists are mistaken. They often are. New York decided to have a "Boosters' Week." We were all to talk prosperity, I believe, and buy all the new clothes we could, and declare to the world that everything was going fine among us. That was all right. We rather approved. But it was something of a blow to some of us when Wise And Witty We don't have much regard for any man's intelligence if he disagrees with us on tariff. It's a mean trick for a girl to get a box of candy from one admirer and then share it with another. Nohting worth having is easy to get. Cashing in on what you know is about all there is to it. People madly in love are right on the edge of bitter hatred. One way to hide dishonesty is to make a specialty of being "respectable." God gave us our limitations, and we always fail when we try to deliver goods we haven't got. Most poets die young, and many of them deserve it. People who think they are sick greatly outnumber those who really are. While waiting for big opportunities, why not keep busy with the little ones? Less eating and more breathing beats medicine. There are two kinds of folks—your kind and the others. It pleases an undertaker to get a job, but he has to show his pleasure by looking sad. Even genius is not immune from cutting toenails and washing behind the ears. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MAY INCREASE LICENSE PRICES—Riverside (Cal.) Press Fishing and hunting licenses in California will hereafter cost more if the plans of the Central California Fish and Game Protective Association are acted upon. The body, in session a couple of days ago, suggests that the license fees be raised from $1 to $3 for a combined hunting and fishing license, as at present, to $5. The Humboldt County Association would have the fish license raised from $1 to $3.

Husbands call up their wives over me and wives call their husbands down over me. I never get to call anywhere, but sometimes the company comes and takes me out. I am not a bee, but I often buzz. I am the "Bell" of the town, and while I do not get jewelry, I often get rings.—The Northwestern Bell. A REAL IDEA Wall Street, to protect its money messengers, resorted to armed guards and all kinds of disguises. But hold-ups continued. Now the messengers will make their trips wearing bright scarlet coats, with small safes chained around their waists, the padlocks inside the safes. It's an interesting experiment in psychology. By making the messengers conspicuous, anything that happens to them will attract quick attention. Conspicuousness frequently succeeds where secrecy falls.
