DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS I think if thou couldst know, O soul, that will complain, What lies concealed below Our burden and our pain, How just our anguish brings Nearer those longed-for things We seek for now in vain, I think thou wouldst rejoice, and not complain.—Adelaide A. Proctor. The people are contriving to keep quite cool as to politics this year. The public should have veto on strikes in vital industries and activities. Europe would be better off economically if it were economical in expenditures for armaments. There is no excelling in anything worth while unless great labor is given to bring about excellence. The Mexican band it is good in his place—but his place is in a bastile or dangling at the end of a rope. The "opening guns" of the political campaign this year seem to have had a very painful recoil for the forces of reaction. That much-discussed flight across the Pacific Ocean by airplane seems to have been postponed on account of a wet ocean. If every nation were as sincerely peaceful and well-disposed as is the United States, there never would be another great war. PRESIDENT SETS FORTH SOUND DOCTRINE President Harding, in his Independence Day speech in his home town, Marion enunciated a doctrine that is soundly American and decidedly wholesome. It is a doctrine that is particularly timely now. Quoting Mr. Harding's words: "A free American has the right to labor without any other's leave. It would be no less an abridgment to deny men the right to bargain collectively, and governments cannot tolerate any class or group domination through force. It will be a sorry day when group domination is reflected in our laws. Government, and the laws which government is charged with enforcing, must be for all the people, ever aiming at the common good." The United States government theoretically is of, by and for "the people" the masses of all classes. Should it ever cease to be in actuality, government of, by and for classes and groups, that indeed would be "a sorry day," as President Harding observes. Each and every class has its rights, immunities and equities, which at all times and in all circumstances should be respected. But no class or group should have special rights, privileges or immunities, to the hurt of the rest of the people. The common welfare—the good of all—ever must be conserved by government, else government ceases to be representative and fails in its functionings.

The "opening guns" of the political campaign this year seem to have had a very painful recoil for the forces of reaction. That much-discussed flight across the Pacific Ocean by airplane seems to have been postponed on account of a wet ocean. If every nation were as sincerely peccable and well-disposed as is the United States, there never would be another great war. Why the furre ovr th word "obey" as applying to the bride in marriage ceremony? That word consists of four dead letters, anyway. Congress is going to keep President Harding in Washington all summer. What has he done to Congress to merit such punishment? The newspaper is the average person's political text-book. From it he or she learns all that it is necessary to know to form convictions and to vote intelligently. Soviet Russia wants enormous credits from Western Europe sight unseen. But Western Europe insists on seeing what is behind the soviet curtain in Russia. As President Harding is compelled to stay in Washington during the summer, he must take some grim comfort in knowing that he is keeping Congress there, too. A phenomenon of this age is the steady advance in scientific knowledge and the wonderful achievements of scientific inventors. Abuzzing additions are being made to the sum total of human knowledge. California is destined to become one of the greatest manufacturing states in the Union. Development of hydro-electric power will foster the expansion of industry. Climatic conditions here are extremely favorable for manufacturing of all kinds. OBEDIENCE TO LAW NOTE IN ADDRESSES General Pershing, speaking at Marion, Ohio and Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, speaking at Ocean Grove, New Jersey on Independence Day, decried the prevalence of lawlessness and invigiled against the menace of defiance of and disrespect for law. Said Senator Lenroot: "Disregard for the law is the greatest problem that America now faces, constituting a menace which, if unchecked, spells anarchy and ruin." General Pershing deplored the present "dangerous tendency toward disobedience to law" and asserted that "moral standards have become materially weakened and the criminal elements of society are less cautious in their activities." He urged that "it is time for all citizens who cherish our heritage of free government to assert themselves and cry out against lawlessness and immorality; we must stand for prompt enforcement of the law or concede that free government is a failure."

Yet it is safe to say no craft ever before was so wonderful that it could make the sea without a bottom. It recalls "they went out to sea in a sieve, they did; in a sieve they went to sea." Nevertheless the good ship F. D. Asche, a Standard Oil tanker arrived in New York lately without a bottom, making the trip from the Bahamas. Coming into port she was bouyed up by compressed air tanks beneath her tattered hull and supported on either side by wrecking tugs. She went ashore in a storm, and the voyager on their return trip were obliged to place their hopes in her donkey engine, the wireless set, and the fact that the ship was built under the Isherwood longitudinal system which is designed to prevent oil tankers from breaking in two. The compressed air tanks held her well and she was towed to the North as though nothing were the matter. In a bare room on the top floor of the old Hotel De Gink—now the City Employment Bureau—the man who brought down the first German Zeppelin of the war sat waiting for his turn in the employment line. This was Capt. Asylmar Brandon, Croix de Guerre. Just behind him sat Lieut. Arthur Leon Marquard of the 42nd Black Watch. the man who was to have been Commander in Chief of the Spanish Air Force in the war against Morroco, and who recently returned, on the Spanish Royal Mail Liner "Montevideo". Neither of these two veterans knew the other. Four years ago one was engaged in bombing and the other in scouting, with the sky as the limit. This day one was engaged in seeking employment as an editorial assistant, the other as an aerial mechanic. When they became acquainted they were unanimous in their agreement that it was easier to hunt Boches at an altitude of 30,000 feet. A satisfied customer don't cost nothin' like a full page ad, but some stores never seem 't git onto it. Folks that can't stand prosperity still continue 't be purty safe.

OMAGOSH! He bought himself a bathing suit, For to take a swim, But when he put it on he found "Twas a 'her' suit, not a 'him.'" Wouldn't it be horrible to be inoculated with fish glands by mistake; and then have to drink yourself to death? APPRECIATE THE TEACHER— As the result of a town fight in the city schools of Elgin, Ill., fourteen teachers were dismissed by the school board. The charges against the dismissed teachers were that they had opposed in the election the controlling group on the school board. One of the fourteen teachers dismissed, Miss Mary Elizabeth Long committed suicide. The citizens of Elgin were no indignant over the action of the board and the tragedy that resulted, a mass meeting was called and mob action was threatened. Then the board rescinded the order in case of the other teachers. Illinois has a system of pensions for retired school teachers, but Miss Long was dismissed a few months before the law could have been made to apply in her case. But it is safe to say that it was not the loss of a pension that drove Miss Mary Elizabeth Long to end her life. Twenty-seven years as a teacher had given her more courage than that. Other problems in the long years she had spent in the school rooms, doubtless, had caused her far more concern than the thought of anything that might come upon her in after years. If school teachers were owed to them fear or sap this day for a job. The after time were they did the teacher meeting Long a demander teacher public which Possible the dislike function school in the tale in public and put the pup into imply into a The po Women of the stage have long been looked upon as wicked, especially by those harbored pampered individuals who have never been thrown into a phase of life demanding utter frankness and a strength of character, not given to everyone to combat that indefinitable borderland of emotion and action between frankness and abandon. But though many actresses continue virtuous despite the environment, more or less lax of the theater, it is not often that they go to such extremes as occurred in New York last week. One young girl who was playing the part of a Parisian-bred woman, which we may imagine called for risque language and ultra-modern dress and actions, gave notice to the manager that she was cancelling her contract because it was a case of doing so or renouncing her church affiliations. Wouldn't you like to see this girl, in the rouge, decolletage and mannerisms incidental to her stage work, transplanted to the midst of a safer-clad, solemn congregation? And yet the heart of her would be the same, as demonstrated by her renunciation of mundane applause and admiration, for the deeper satisfaction that she feels is hers in the stand she has taken. Truly, clothes and environment make a lot of difference sometimes in judging what is—or is not-beneath! I never tire of the amusement I get from the signs about New York. A Broadway novelty shop has this card on an alarm clock in the window. "If this clock will not wake you up, call the undertaker." The following would seem fair enough. It appears in a Lennox Avenue boot-black's niche. "Shine 5c, one legged man, three cents." A Brooklyn novelty goods store advertises "Opera Glasses that Hold a Half Pint", and yet another on Broadway "Manly Shoes for Women". Also, when he bought himself a bathing suit, For to take a swim, But when he put it on he found "Twas a "her" suit, not a "him." Wouldn't it be horrible to be inoculated with fish glands by mistake; and then have to drink yourself to death? Most footprints in the sands of time show holes in the shoes.

Yet his one lapse into carelessness would have cost him his life if seven assistants had not happened to be nearby. It took their combined strength to get their boots out of the python's coils.

Also, when in an establishment not long ago where the custom is not too well established, and frequently of a shifting customer, I saw the sign "No checks cashed here." I could scarcely resist offering a check on my home town bank. They probably had never heard of the town, much less the bank. But it occurred to me that the very naivete might get it by.

For there would be a few school teachers left on the job. The news from Elgin states that after the tragedy the people of Elgin were aroused to indignation, and they demanded the punishment of the trustees that had dismissed the teachers for political reasons. A mass meeting of the former pupils of Miss Long and of the citizens generally demanded the restoration of the other teachers, and expressed, in their public gathering, the great regard in which Miss Long had been held. Possibly it would have made all the difference in the world if Miss Long had known of this public affection. The public give little heed to school teachers. They give so much in the way of service and ask so little in the way of reward that the public takes the service for granted, and passes on to those branches of the public service that are less vital in importance but more themselves into a frenzy over the public affairs. The people work themselves into a OUT OF HEART Out of my heart there comes a song. I think it, -I feel it, all day long—Happiness, happiness, is my song!

All that Miss Long knew was that after more than a quarter of a century of devotion and sacrifice to her profession, it had been brought to a humiliating end by public dismissal by a group of trustees for political reasons. The labor of years had come to naught. The energy she had expended, the toll she had made, the love she had given so freely—all rewarded by a blow in the face from those she had served.
