HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $3; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS No shadow, but its sister light Not far away must burn; No weary night, but morning bright Shall follow in its turn.—Anonymous. California keeps moving, and yet takes no backward steps. Say it with moderation and fairness, not with abuse, in politics. Persuading the child to do right is far better than punishing it. The country which fears and reverences God cannot go far wrong. Some men should settle up, and some should settle down. It all depends. California, official reports indicate, is sailing serenely toward the port of Prosperity. It rather comforting and reassuring to learn that the Golden Rule has not been outlawed in Kansas. There are a great many self-made men in this country who have done a good job in the making. The spirit that wrongfully and wantonly would destroy the reputation of another is devilishly mean. The United States Constitution, in all its parts, is "the supreme law of the land" and should be respected as much. The men who say that prosperity is coming are men who are capable PICTURES AN INFLUENCE OF BIG IMPORT Will H. Hays, since coming to California, has been telling the public, and likewise those engaged in producing pictures, of the tremendous influence of films and has been admonishing and pledging extreme care in making pictures as to the quality of them. He impresses the fact that 20,000,000 persons daily attend motion-picture shows. He stresses that the films are the principal amusement of the great majority of the 110,000,000 people of the United States. Mr. Hays impressed upon producers of pictures that "just as you serve the leisure hours of the masses, so do you rivet the girders of society." And expressing his broadened conception, Mr. Hays says that the motion-picture will "go further not only in its influence of man upon man, but it making a complete understanding between nation and nation, than any other thing that is possible in this world." A mighty influence for the fostering of world-peace the motion-picture can and should be made. In this envisioning of the film's possibilities by Mr. Hays the public will have especial interest. It betokens a purpose to keep American films free from propaganda against or offensive to any nation or people. BANKS ARE THRIVING IN CALIFORNIA Banks of California are in prosperous condition. Jonathan S. Dodge, State Superintendent of Banks, makes especially favorable as to operations and conditions of state banks within a period of fifty-eight days. Their aggregate deposits gained $44,500,000 during this time—al- There are a great many self-made men in this country who have done a good job in the making. The spirit that wrongfully and wantonly would destroy the reputation of another is devilishly mean. The United States Constitution, in all its parts, is "the supreme law of the land" and should be respected as such. The men who say that prosperity is coming are men who are capable of recognizing prosperity when they see it. California fosters home-life, churches and schools—the three eradles of liberty, morality, enlightenment, happiness and patriotism. Cheer up; the darkest hour in industry in America comes just before the dawn. Already the streakings of coming dawn are visible. The alien in America who curses and despises this land, its government and its institutions,' should be sent back across seas, America wants none of his kind. There is no injustice that either labor or capital may do each other half so flagrant as the injustice they both are doing; the public through their unyielding, hurtful conflicts. This year's crops will yield billions of dollars to the American farmer. This new wealth soon will be circulating and will add greatly to the volume of prosperity. There are a great many backward ones in the school of experience who fail to keep up with their classes and who must learn their lessons over and over again. To them experience is an exacting, bitter school. If you like good pictures, patronize them. If you say you like good pictures, but do not go to see them, but give your patronage to questionable films, you surely are not a consistent friend of good pictures. The national government is striving earnestly, and impartially as between labor and capital, to conserve the rights and protect the interests of the public. Its hands should be upheld in this. BANKS ARE THRIVING IN CALIFORNIA Banks of California are in prosperous condition. Jonathan S. Dodge, State Superintendent of Banks, makes especially favorable as to operations and conditions of state banks within a period of fifty-nix days. Their aggregate deposits gained $44,500,000 during this time—almost $1,000,000 daily. These banks increased their loans within this time by $16,846,000. And yet they have increased their bills payable by only $1,117,000—and this at a time when the strain on our credit structure is very great." There has been an increase in savings deposits in the state, in this period of fifty-six days, of $27,794,000, bringing the grand total of savings deposits in the savings banks and the savings departments of departmental state banks up to $1,108,-000,000. Mr. Dodge, commenting on the excellent showing, says: There is no inflation of these figures because new enterprises, new industry, new ventures of productive activity are in full progress and our banks are reflecting these conditions. Very encouraging indeed to Californians. Very promising indeed for the return of economic normality in this state. CROP PROSPERITY SEEN ALL OVER LAND Farmers and orchardists, the country over, are in glee over their crops. There are shortages here and there, it is true, but where there is lessened yield there is higher prices for what is produced. Wheat promises a heavy crop, in excellent condition. Weather conditions generally have been favorable for the growing and harvesting of this cereal. The corn crop likewise is making good progress. Other cereals and fruits and vegetables are giving prospects of stupendous additions to the produced wealth of the country. Arrangements are being made for the financing of crop movements. The great grain-producing states are calling upon the federal War Finance Corporation for financial tiding-over. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS—San Jose Mercury-Herald The second installment of the Diageg 10,000,000 poll on prohibition shows the same state of facts as the The name of Volstead is not anathema because it is not associated with any loss of privileges. Chinatown Gertled with the snow on light of spiritual uniting in her eyes, redead past when the Bowery' at the Residual Chinatown The on the occasion of COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS—San Jose Mercury-Herald The second installment of the Digest 10,000,000 poll on prohibition shows the same state of facts as the Ust. The vote for enforcement is 76-597; for wine and beer, 85,151; for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, 45,646. The ratio is the same as before, a majority of two to one against prohibition. The editors seem to regard the maintenance of the ratio as indicating the sentiment of the nation. This would be true were it not for the fact that the source of the vote is exactly the same in the second tabulation as in the first. The bulk of it comes from notoriously wet states. For example, the vote of New York is 38,898. The combined vote of Minnesota, North Dakota, So. Dakota and Nebraska is but 1019. One Western state has sent in but three votes, and several in the great dry belt have voted less than 100 ballots. There is also significance in the statement of the editors that "returns from most sections of the country, outside of the large cities however, ate as yet only getting under way." This means that the vote of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois and California is the vote of New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco—the five most notorious wet cities in the United States. The combined vote of these, together with that of wet New Jersey, is 144,854—73% per cent of the total vote. The surprising thing is that the majority for wine and beer is not more than two to one. Why the dry states are not voting is obvious. Prohibition is a burning issue only in those sections where the Eighteenth Amendment took away a leverage the inhabitants were accused to use daily. Pre-war stocks becoming exhausted and the proof of prohibition is being felt. In any states, on the other hand, inhabitants lost nothing through the Eighteenth Amendment, and no reason at again I. The name of Volstead is not anathema because it is not associated with any loss of privileges. The poll up to date has therefore no value as an index of public opinion in the nation. It has decided value as an index pointing to the exact spots where prohibition is still a live issue. Apparently the editors of the Digest do not understand why New York, Chicago and San Francisco are pouring in ballots, while the dry states are too indifferent to take trouble to vote. They assume the New York City consciousness of prohibition is the average consciousness. Voters go to the polls when there is a live issue. They stay away when there is not. The Digest tabulation, therefore, shows precisely where prohibition is a live issue, and where it is not. The New York City consciousness is also shown in the form of the Eighteenth Amendment sanctions wine and beer. Prohibition has had a very definite meaning to the American people in the seven years it has been an issue. What that meaning was, the signs displayed in this state during the ratification campaign, "prohibition will destroy this vineyard," expressed. This was the accepted interpretation when the states voted for ratification. In New York City, Chicago and San Francisco, a wine and beer interpretation has taken root since ratification by a campaign of suggestion. However, the lawyers representing the wine interests of California have diligently studied the Eighteenth Amendment, as construed by the supreme court, and they frankly admit that a law of congress expressly permitting wine and beer would be void. The only way they can find to reach the wine-goal is through non-enforcement. Repeal of Volstead Act, not amended, is their program. While this is in effect nullification, it is the only practical method that has been suggested to store intoxicants.

The friends of this woman, who was once a notorious Bowery character, gathered to make merry on the anniversary. She of the old degenerate life appeared neatly and beginningly dressed, quiet and lady-like, to tell what it meant to get away from a life that she once thought desirable. It was a rose which saved her soul, and happened one night in a Bowery saloon when 'a lady came in and talked to me about my soul.' "Can the chatter," I replied, "whereupon she gave me a red rose and told me it stood for the blood of the Saviour who died for us. I stuck the rose in my pocket and tried to forget about it, but I couldn't. But later that night when I came onto it in one of the opium dens, I decided to give it a chance. And sure enough, before I knew it I was as white as snow, and all because of a rose." Film folk, oddly enough, do not go in for private films, leaving that to society people. Lillian and Dorothy Gish, however, are making a little film of their own from the play in which they first appeared. The play is known as "Her First False Step." It also involves Mary Pickford, as she was in the production along with the Gish girls some... but it wouldn't be nice to tell, how many years ago.
