DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS If thou at others' doors need'st not to pine, In thanks to Allah turn no man from thine—From the Persian by Sir Edwin Arnold. If you must worry, try not to string it out. One of the difficult things to do nowadays is to behave yourself and get any fun out of it. Here's hoping and believing that President Obregon will crush that incipient rebellion. Mexico needs no revolution. Perhaps 40 per cent of the registered vote of the state was cast in the recent primary. What excuse has the other 60 per cent for their truancy? It is proposed to widen the streets of Los Angeles to relieve its traffic congestion and to overcome its perils. But a wide street is not foolproof. Now that everybody has started an uprising in Mexico, President Obregon will give a demonstration of his down-putting tactics applied to insurrections. By every legislative and executive power and process possible, profiteering in coal throughout the East should be antagonized. Laws should be enacted and rules and regulations laid down to curb the charging of exorbitant prices for fuel. Labor day should bring sober reflection both to labor and to capital, as to the duties and responsibilities those two groups bear toward the public. It should be realized that there are others in the world besides the capitalists and labors. These others have their rights and immunities, and these should be respected. KEEP POLITICS FREE OF ASPERITIES Political campaigns in California, of late years, have developed some methods and practices which are ugly and not to be commended. There has been too much personal aspersion—too much abuse and detraction. It is true that the record of every candidate, in public and private life, is fair subject for investigation and discussion. Insofar as this is carried on temperately and justly and with purpose really to enlighten voters, it is commendable. But where bitterness and factional strife are engendered, a spectacle unpleasant and unwelcome is presented. California does so many things well—does so many things better than they are done elsewhere, it would be to the credit of the state to eliminate this indulgence in personalities in politics, and conduct campaigns on a more agreeable level of courtesy. Not that a red-blooded political canvass should be conducted in broadcloth and kid gloves, so to speak. Naturally, in contests of this kind, there will be some vigor and fervor there should be, to arouse and sustain public interest. But there could be an eradication of abeliveness and of personal vilification, to the great improvement of politics here. PEOPLE ORGANIZING FOR INDUSTRIAL RELIEF The Society of American Commonwealth has been chartered in the state of Illinois with the purpose or organization throughout the United States. Its primary aim is to close "the widening breach between capital and labor." To this end, representatives of neither capital nor labor are to be admitted into its membership. This movement and its cardinal object are of intense interest, as indicating that the masses of the people are beginning to understand Labor day should bring sober reflection both to labor and to capital, as to the duties and responsibilities those two groups bear toward the public. It should be realized that there are others in the world besides the capitalists and labors. These others have their rights and immunities, and these should be respected. In everything that makes a state great and prosperous California is going forward. Its material advancement is phenomenal. Not less remarkable is its progress in education in general enlightenment and in culture. Its home and community life are models for the world—clean, refined, of high tone. Agriculture demands scientific knowledge, to make it successful. It is reassuring to note that so many young men and young women are taking courses in agriculture in high schools and in colleges and universities. These will bring this industry up to a higher standard of achievement and lend dignity to the calling of the farmer and orchardist. Official recognition of the government of Mexico by the government of the United States is in prospect. The Mexican congress, it is said, soon will meet all the requirements of the American government and formal recognition from Washington will be forthcoming. It is to be hoped that this is true. Severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries has persisted a long time. Its resumption would be cause for congratulation in both America and Mexico. INDUSTRIAL RELIEF The Society of American Commonwealth has been chartered in the state of Illinois with the purpose or organization throughout the United States. Its primary aim is to close "the widening breach between capital and labor." To this end, representatives of neither capital nor labor are to be admitted into its membership. This movement and its cardinal object are of intense interest, as indicating that the masses of the people are beginning to articulate as to the rights of the public in industrial controversies. Martin V. Hinshaw, founder of the society, outlines its plans and objects as follows: "This society is an outgrowth of the numerous strikes that have beset this country and which we believe are fraught with grave peril to the nation. The object is to awaken the great masses to dangers we are now facing because of the wasteful, useless, havoc-making strikes such as the coal strike, rail strike and recent car strike in Chicago and many other forms of industrial warfare throughout the country. Through all these ordeals the public, bearing the brunt of the burden, has gone on watchfully waiting with a saint-like patience. This is not a call to arms nor the views of alarmists. We believe it is high time that the public so organize that its sentiments may crystallize into a stern and powerful voice that will become so effective that these useless industrial conflicts may be doomed." More business and less politics should be put into tariff making. What difference should it make whether a tariff be Democratic or Republican, if it be for the interests of the country and if it be what people want? Your gauge will PROVE Red!

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) The Gasoline of Quality NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Five-year-old Margie Axton kept the police' phones and wire busy the other day for two solid hours just because she was so agreeable. Policeman Donlin saw her wandering aimlessly across the street from the station and decided she was lost. He walked across and questioned her and then took her over to the station. "Did you come from a long ways off somewhere?" he asked. "Yes," said Margie. "Did strangers bring you?" "Yes," she agreed again. The police hurriedly sent descriptions of the child to nearby towns. For two hours, they tried to solve the mystery of her disappearance. Then the 'phone rang and a woman said she was the child's mother and would hurry right over She was Mrs. James Axton. The police tried to explain that the child was 'Kidnapped!' she claimed. "Heavens, we live right around the corner, only three doors away." "Why, little girl," reproached Officer Donlin, "Why did you tell us all that?" "Mother always told me to be nice to policemen," she replied, "so I did not want to say, 'no,' when you asked me things."

SO THEY BUMPED HIM Stephen's billboard appeal was "Give Stephens a Bumper Vote." In my accounts from time to time I have told of a young man, who plays and works about the city to my great amusement. He's the one who hired two apartments in order to keep three days. He is as old as the ages, and as young as a butterfly, and I have selected him to be the only member of my news staff. I shall call him Ernest Aimless. He is in the habit of buying newspapers and magazine from a woman news dealers at Madison avenue and Forty-second street. Now of all spots in the world that is one where human faith would hold least. In the direct path to the Grand Central Street you going out tonight? Here something to have in your pocket? To indicate the volume of her erosity, Ernest said she produced most tempting roll of bills he ever seen. And yet some people think they are poor. We have another instance of woman forsaking society for our stage. This time it is Miss Isabell Townsend Pell, a recent debutant prominent in Newport and Westbury as well as New York. Her first pearance is in "Fools Errant," he opened, and hopefully enough has into tried to d omore than should in going into this very delicate end of theatricals.

The trouble is, it generally turns out to be more stolen than mink. But never have these vendors gone into the very halls of justice put out their goods, until the other day, when one of them approaches no less than Judge Alfred J. Tall of the General Sessions. When they pretended to be very covert in their negotiations, took the salesmen into one of the inner sanctums of chambers, and confronted him with a detective. Luckily for the venues he had a bill of sale for his good but the judge discovered in his omination that it is a common TOWN IN REVIEW There, little girl don't cry!

He says the civil war is over. The Chinese may be claw, but it doesn't take them half a generation to settle their fights. They know when they are licked, and take their medicine without haggling. Most of the white man's international troubles are due to refusing to admit the truth. The white statesman usually plays to the galleries. He keeps the corpses of troubles exhibited on ice instead of burying them. If winter comes, we'll put our vest back on and then we will be in our winter suit. TOLD He—Did you tell any girls about our engagement? She—Yes, three—all told! He—All told? She—Yes, they all told! FAMOUS LAST WORDS "I didn't get the nomination, but I take this means of thanking," etc. Some towns have all the luck. In Boston, lightning hit a book agent. Alarm clocks are going out of style as the six-hour day comes in. The real "producer" these days is the fellow who goes down into his pants pocket and resurrects the real coin. Mining is a hazardous occupation at best. In the gold mines of the West and in the coal mines of the East, death lurks. Disaster may come from fire, from explosion of deadly gases or from cave-ins. Some of the sorriest pages in the industrial annals of the country are those dealing with mining catastrophes. I can't read the rest of the newspaper.

Their wheat is getting mouldy, and another rain or two in the next week will spoil it, and a year's work is gone. Every wheat grower is a sky farmer. He depends not only upon rains upon the sun at the right time, upon calm weather that will not blow his wheat down, upon bug-killing weather, upon all the whims and fancies of the sky. So when it rained last night hundreds of wheatgrowers were blue. But the man who had a dozen or fifteen cows and a silo turned over and said: "Let 'er rain. What's it to me?" If he had a stand of corn and the drought came, he cut it as it was and stoked it into the silo. He cut it and snapped his finshort.
