DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Over the orphan's path protection spread; Pluck out his heart-grief, lift his drooping head; When, with his neck bent low, thou spiest one, Kiss not the lifted face of thine own son.—From the Persian, by Sir Edward Arnold. STRIKE TO END IN HARD COAL FIELD Anthracite coal miners and mine operators have reached an agreement to end the protracted strike in the hard-coal fields. This virtually ends the crisis in the Nation's coal industry. In both the bituminous and the anthracite fields it is expected that soon production of coal will be back to normal. While the agreements ending the strikes are for a comparatively brief period, yet in that period it should be possible to devise ways and means to formulate equitable permanent bases for agreements as to wages and working conditions in the mines. Settlement of the coal strike will be of immense advantage to the country. This leaves only the all troubles to be adjusted. While there is an ominous deadlock at present in the transportation field, yet the situation is not without hope. The vigorous attitude of the federal government against violence and against interruption of interstate traffic and the carrying of the mails, brings on a new phase. While this appeared to be threatening at first, yet it is to be assumed that cool counsels will prevail in the end and that the country will not be menaced by a general strike. WOMEN LEGISLATORS IN CALIFORNIA Election of women as members of the California Legislature is becoming of more frequent occurrence. In the recent primary four women were WOMEN LEGISLATORS IN CALIFORNIA Election of women as members of the California Legislature is becoming of more frequent occurrence. In the recent primary, four women were elected to the Assembly by virtue of the fact that they received both the Republican and Democratic nominations. Two others will make the contest for election in November. This state has had women legislators and its experience with them has been quite satisfactory and gratifying. That those already elected, or to be elected, will be equally able and efficient at Sacramento there is no gainsaying. Enfranchisement of women—too long delayed—brought as its logical corollary the electing of capable women to responsible public positions. The state is benefiting by the new order of things, as it will continue to benefit. Women are taking up effort in public positions with the zeal, perspicacity, acute perception and conscientiousness characteristic of the sex. They are not lending themselves to violent, disqueling radicalism, but are wholesomely albeit progressively conservative. Let a business person or firm establish a reputation for honest, square dealing at all times, and that person or firm never lacks patronage. Honesty usually succeeds, because it deserves to succeed. A gentleman is one who removes his hat in a hotel elevator, but leaves it on when going up in an office building. On a bad road, keep in the ruts; in other things, don't. Before trying to get the best of another man, be sure he has it. As the wails and howls multiply, Mr. Harding must wonder at times whether he is a chief executive or a wet nurse. Some young men have a decent chance in the world, and some have lenient fathers who don’t mind paying the fines. It is different to believe in the benefits of civilization when you see an upper lip adorned with a one-inch mustache. That scientist who says there is no limit to space doesn’t know much about the parking problem. If Mr. Ford really can show the railroads how to get along with less fuel, now would be an excellent time to demonstrate. It's none of our business, but as Lenine recoverers from death after death we can't help wondering what kind of glands he uses. Of course men are intelligent. Don't they always show signs of reason after an industrial controversy has cost them millions? "France and England are drawing together," says an editor. Well, that's fair enough. It appeared for a time that France would draw first. Translations of foreign novels are seldom satisfactory. The American language is incapable of expressing the nice shades of pruriency.

Ledger: “While we were struggling, father, who is a nigtwatchman and sleeps during the day, ran downstairs; and with guns he carries when at work, he fired a shot from each and then another shot from the revolver in his right hand.” Oh, how I love the radio. When music holds its sway—But I drop the ‘phones when it intones The news I’ve heard today. Folks, Center-st is going to look lonesome Monday—when all the flappers go back to the sixth grade. A man who had shot a customs officer in the hand was arrested by the officer and brought to San Diego. The man will live. A CONFESSION I’ve sold books no one would read. Tickets where no one would go, Magazines no one would need, Pictures no one would show. I’ve even gambled and I’ve drank. Stolen my neighbors’ chickens, At cussedness I never shrank, And often raised the dickens. Been in trouble lots of times—My money comes not by toll—Squandered other people’s diems, But I’ve never sold “shares in oil.” —W. H. C. TOM SIMS SAYS: See where a ship captain beat his cook to death. There is more free-viewed as forerunners of a labor shortage. The stage seems to be set for a period of more jobs than men to fill them. In a nutshell, that sums up the results of the limiting of immigration. The restriction is to labor what the tariff is to commodities. If the gates were wide open, European workmen would be flocking in and undeserving American wages. Personally, we’d like to catch one of those fishes that got away from somebody else. Wonder if you tip your hat to a girl wearing knickerbocks? Professor says there is no sin. Then what is it for some men to make money? A German motorless plane flew two hours. We suspect Henry Ford has a press agent in Germany. THAT STOPPED HIM For about an hour a gentleman from Denver had been boasting about the magnificence of the Rockies to an Irish New Yorker, says Judge. “You seem to be mighty proud ov thim mountains,” the Irishman finally observed. “You bet I am,” the westerner replied. “And I ought to be, since my ancestors built them.” The Irishman thought this over a few moments and then asked, “Did you ever happen to hear of the Dead Sea—one ove the ol’ counthries?” “Yes, indeed,” replied the gentleman from Denver, “I know all about the Dead Sea.” “Well, did you happen to know that me great grandfather killed the dom thing?” Faults in those we love are mighty hard to see. HOW CORPORATIONS EDUCATE New York Evening Post One easy way of acquiring a broad education and intimate knowledge of world affairs is through buying stocks in new companies. Andrew Carnegie advised putting all of one's eggs in a single basket and then watching the basket, but Andrew Carnegie was talking in terms of money only. In order to realize the full intellectual benefits of investment make your eggs go oas far as they can, even if they are spread as thin as the companies themselves. No sooner do you become a stockholder than "your corporation" immediately assumes the burden of educating you into a state of intelligence consonant with the dignity of that connection. Its officers seem to feel that an ignorant stockholder is a blot on the company records. So it sends you detailed reports and intricate explanations of operations. In this way you acquire an exhaustive knowledge of the (approximate) petroleum content of the famous (or infamous) Tincup field, with charts showing how both crude and refined have sold since the year Henry Ford discovered America. Furthermore, your export company will keep you advised on the public debts of Liberia and the refunding program of Ecuador, to say nothing of enclosing from time to time the text of the Mexican Constitution and Squilkin's pamphlet on the Condition of Quebracho in the Chaco in 1914. "Your corporation" may include a dividend check with these contributions, or it may not. If it does, then you win doubly. In any event, if you buy cheap shares in extra small lots the literature you receive may be easily worth more than the shares themselves, provided your mind, like the ostrich's stomach, can digest anything. With corporations as solicitous for the intelligent regard of their stockholders as they seem to be at present, what excuse is there for correspondence schools? I've even gambled and I've drank, Stolen my neighbors' chickens, At cussedness I never shrank, And often raised the dickens. Been in trouble lots of times—My money comes not by toll—Squandered other people's diems, But I've never sold "shares in oil." TOM SIMS SAYS: See where a ship captain beat his cook to death.

Per yr. $3; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter NEW YORK LETTER (By Lucy Jeanne Price) New York photographers are about to rise en masse and bless the new law requiring every motorist to have his photograph made a part of his driver's license. "We always knew that men delighted in portraits of themselvee," a photographer told me, "and now we at last can reap the benefit of that vanity. The average man refused ever to have his picture taken. That was just shyness, a pretense of indifference to such a showing of vanity. Now the motorist doesn't do it voluntarily; the law makes him; that's a good enough alibi for any one. And when he gets his print for the license, he could no more get out of the door without falling for the temptation of having a dozen or so finished than he could refuse to be seen in his brand new motor car." Why must thrilling moments be so often spoiled? I was in a broker's office the other day between 2:30 and 3:00 o'clock, and I never had every tick of the clock seem so por- the small private office where I sat and the broker was dropping one receiver topick up another with a moment's pause. "It's nineteen minute to three," he would say, "Till wait just three minutes for your order." "Two forty eight," intoon another phone. "What about canceling that sell at 32%?" Orders to buy and sell, queries to customers, oh! everything that made seconds seem like thousands of dollars! I just glowed in the importance of it. Then he jerked a 'phone, "Get Charlie——" he told the private wire operator, "Hello, Charier"...it was now two-fifty-one, with nine minutes before the market's close—"Say, that friend of mine got back this morning and he wants two cases of that mineral water." The whole rush and tremendousness of the minutes had been interrupted to order—mineral water. They didn't seem nearly so important, any more. Just about the time a woman gets over one crazy motion, the fashion pictures teach her another.
