DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS In the lives of the saddest of us there are bright days like this, when we feel as if we could take the whole world into our arms. Then come gloomy hours, when the fire will not burn on our hearths, and all without and within is dismal, cold and dark. Believe me, every heart has its secret sorrows, which the world knows not, and oft-times we call a man cold, when he is only sad.—Longfellow. In politics, do your own thinking, form your own conclusions, vote your own independent convictions. The public should not be crushed between the upper and nether millstone of extreme classism. That 'hammer murder' is giving Los Angeles some hard knocks as to its reputation as a law-abiding community. Stand by the government of the United States and by the rights of the masses, whatever industrial or other crisis may be precipitated. Some are born great, some have greatness thrust upon them and some, in a fit of jealous rage, beat the life out of someone with a hammer. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The United States Senate twiddles while the country burns with indignation over the delay in enacting important legislation. It may be that the present industrial crisis is the darkest hour before the dawn of brighter days in industry, with better understanding and with co-operation rife between labor and capital. TRANSPORTING BY AIR IS NAVY'S METHOD Trust to a seion of the Roosevelt family to be a trail-blazer. Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, son of the famous Colonel, is fostering the use of large airplanes for the transportation of men and material between naval stations. So successful has this innovation proved to be, it is believed that the use of aerial craft will be developed more extensively by the Navy Department, and doubtless by the War Department, as the feasibility of the plan is demonstrated. Besides carrying men, airplanes have been used to transport freight of considerable weight, including, notably, a number of bath tubs which were carried a distance of 190 miles by air without mishap. Mr. Roosevelt says that, besides being swifter than land transportation, it costs less to use the aerial transport. Airships will not displace railroads and automobiles. It is not reasonable to expect this. But the airship is making a place for itself in the general economy. It is establishing itself as a practicable means of passenger and freight transportation and as a mail-carrier. Its use will be developed on a huge scale, no doubt. THRIVING CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA Prosperity, in generous volume, is reigning throughout California, reports indicate. The railroad strike is threatening loss of perishable fruits, but it is hoped that some way will be found to minimize this damage. California's bank resources are gaining steadily, which in itself is a very healthy indication. Interest rates are moderate, and desirable loans are negotiated readily.

It may be that the present industrial crisis is the darkest hour before the dawn of brighter days in industry, with better understanding and with cooperation rife between labor and capital. Californian's advancement, in the last quarter of a century, has been phenomenal. It has grown greatly in population. It has progressed prodigiously in industry. It has developed its resources on marvelous scale. Many self-appointed regulators of their neighbors conduct have one standard for others and quite another standard for themselves. The more rigid standard is for others. The United States air mail service has developed prodigiously. Advancement has been particularly pronounced during the last year. This service has been and is very useful to California, bringing this state much nearer, in time, than it was. When night aerial mail service is installed, as it will be within the ensuing year, the transport of mail from coast to coast will be shortened materially. It will not be long, in the logic evolution of the aerial service, before all California cities will have mail by air.

The railroad strike is threatening loss of perishable fruits, but it is hoped that some way will be found to minimize this damage. California's bank resources are gaining steadily, which itself is a very healthy indication. Interest rates are moderate, and desirable loans are negotiated readily. Building activity continues, the only halting being inability to get structural materials as quickly as they are needed. The unprecedented volume of building has run beyond the ability to supply material. Crop conditions are quite satisfactory. The spirit of Californians is cheerful. They are not allowing themselves to be scourged with pessimistic fears. They know that economic fundamentals are sound and they are convinced that there will be rapid return to normality all over the country, as soon as the prevailing strikes are settled. General Dawes has gone back to Chicago and private life, leaving behind him, in Washington, a trial of sulphurous blue language evoked by the lack of business acumen shown by Congress and by some heads of government, bureaus. His record as director of the budget stands out in relief as one of the notable achievements of the administration of President Harding. Plain Dealer What Are Convenience Outlets?

Southern California Edison Company NEW YORK, July 25.—I don’t believe it has ever occurred to the thriftiest of housewives to save her broken china for the value of the little line of gold that decorates it. Yet that is done regularly by our largest and most extravagant appearing hotels in New York City. These gorgeous palaces of luxury, in which one would expect to find complete disregard to anything so small as a few dollars in waste, are probably the thriftiest institutions in the country. Their restaurants retrieve everything possible, from gold leaf on broken china to tin cans. Three barrels is the daily average of broken glass and china from any one of the large hotels of the city, so any possible salvage does amount to something by the end of the month. As for the tin cans—somebody discovered that a mixture of salt, soda, water and tin forms a fine silver cleaner, and now the cans are used for an almost cost-less silver wash. In every department this same scientific saving is carried out, and if the most economical home wants to take lessons in greater economy, these great “extravagant” hotels are the schools to attend. The advance of the co-operative idea in property owning is raising interesting questions of management, much as do any new experiments in democracy. Some of the apartment house projects started a few years ago found it difficult to get anything done. So many people had the right to authority that no one had the authority itself. Then agents got control of them and the share owners found that they were in about the same position they had been under the rental system. It has finally been worked out, however, and the co-operative system is taking over more and more buildings as a result. Apartment houses are being built in which each family owns forever or for 99 years under a lease plan. The old brownstone houses so numerous Town in Review Seven county officials will have no opposition at the primaries. Now, if they don’t forget to vote they are practically sure of election. That makes seven more citizens who “haven’t any interest in the election.” It’s getting so a girl has to choose between staying single and getting her hair bobbed. A nickle isn’t as good as a dime, but it goes to church more often. A MARKED MAN A mining engineer with $100,000 in cash in his pockets is missing in New York. If the police don’t find him, the bootleggers will. It’s funny that with about half of our population running for office, they should overlook seven of the best jobs in the courthouse.

So many people had the right to authority that no one had the authority itself. Then agents got control of them and the share-owners found that they were in about the same position they had been under the rental system. It has finally been worked out, however, and the cooperative system is taking over more and more buildings as a result. Apartment houses are being built in which each family owns forever or for 99 years under a lease plan. The old brownstone houses so numerous in our older residential sections are being taken over and owned by a partnership of three or four families, each family occupying a floor. The Commonwealth Hotel, first hotel experiment of the kind, has solved its management problems by the forming of "chapters" of the share-holders. Each chapter selects a delegate who acts as representative on the governing board of the hotel—much as we select delegates to represent us in the legislature. There are several thousand of owners in this 2500 room hotel, and such a delegate plan was, of course, necessary. One of the early importations of the theatrical season will be "Hunky Dory," one of the successes of last year in London, which will be transplanted to the Klaw Theatre early in September. "Hunky Dory" is a Scotch play by a Scotch author with a Scotch cast. Mr. MacDonald Watson, the young author of the comedy, plays the leading role.

CENTER ST Other Stores San Pedro, Santa Ana, Long Beach, P Toys to the Children COMPULSORY ARBITRATION NEEDED—Sacramento Bee Uncle Sam is just starting to recover from a horrible war. And now another trouble is thrust upon him in the shape of what might prove to be a universal railroad strike. If that keeps on, adding strength to itself as the days pass by, it may grow to be in one way a greater calamity than the world war into which Uncle Sam was drawn. That terrible conflict united his sons. This one will divide them. And the longer it continues the more damage will it do, not only to the peace of the commonwealth, but as well to all its interests, both of capital and of labor. The strikers say they have a right to disobey—the suggestions of the Labor Board—they are really no more than that—because the railroads did not obey previous suggestions aimed at them. That is true. It is needless to quote however, that two wrongs never yet made a right. At the same time, the railroads should not complain against the strikers doing, for their own purposes and to attain their own ends, just what the railroads did with a similar object in view. But the farce of it probably tragedy would be a better word—is that after all this investigation, and examination, and taking of testimony, and deliberation and "decision," the mountain has labored and brought forth scarcely a mouse. The Labor Board has given counsel to the railroads as to what the railroads should do, and they do it not. It has given counsel to the strikers as to what they should accept, and they accept it not. Neither "decision" is, therefore, worth the paper it was written on. All this shows it is a waste of breath—an opera-bouffe performance, in fact—to continue these boards, and counsels, and reviewing commissions as we have been doing. A body that sets forth a decree, with no power either in itself or in the government of the United States to enforce that decree, is worthless; and all its deliberations, and all its suggestions and all its counsels are but as thing air. These trials and tragedies will recur in the years to come to plague the American people, to disturb business relations, to shatter the peace and harmony of the country, and to divide its people into fighting ranks so long as capital and labor depend on the broken reed of an arbitration that has no more power than the gentle admonition of a fatherly stranger.
