THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor GREETINGS TO DAILY READERS What shall I do to gain eternal life? Discharge aright The simple dues with which each day is rife— Yea, with thy might! Eve perfect scheme of action thou devise, Will life be fled, While he who ever acts as conscience cries, Shall life, though dead, —Schiller. Give the public a square deal, when industrial controversies arise. Speculative gambling should not be permitted to affect the cost of living. Besides other forms of taxing, Congress is taxing the patience of the people. The optimist extracts the sweets out of life. The pessimist finds only the acids. Crering the continent at one hundred miles an hour by airplane is a thrill not dreamed of a quarter of a century ago. While looking out for their own interests, capital and labor should have due respect for the rights and interests of the public. The old adage was, "Strike while the iron is hot." But the rule in industry seems to be, strike while the temper is hot. Senator Robert M. La Follette is a political wizard in his home state. GAINT LINERS PLANNED The American Flag soon may be flying over two of the greatest ocean liners. Announcement comes from no less authoritative source than A. D. Lasker, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, that a movement is started to form an American steamship company with $30,000,000 capitalization, to build two gigantic liners, to be driven by electricity. They each would be of 70,000 gross tonnage. These behemoths of the deep are to be 1000 feet long and are to be operated entirely by electrical machinery. Trans-oceanic vessels are of the most luxurious type today. Every comfort, every accommodation possible is provided for passengers. Living at sea is not much different from luxurious living on land. The best that the cuisine affords; up-to-date sports and amusements; the latest news—everything that heart could wish is at the beck of the ocean traveler. Speed, too. It is almost incredible how swiftly great oceans are negotiated. It is gratifying to have the prospect of the largest, most luxurious liners in the world coming under the American Flag. APATHY IS MANIFEST Apathy among the people as to politics is reported from many parts of the country. It was in evidence here in California in the recent state primary, in which less than half of the registered vote of the state was cast. Many citizens to whom the adjective "good" applies in everything but their practical citizenship, become disgusted with all political parties and with politics in general and refuse to vote or to have anything to do with the processes by which governmental policies are determined in this... While looking out for their own interests, capital and labor should have due respect for the rights and interests of the public. The old adage was: "Strike while the iron is hot." But the rule in industry seems to be, strike while the temper is hot. Senator Robert M. La Follette is a political wizard in his home state. His political enemies do not make much headway in opposing him there. Optimism lengthens life and makes life worth living. The pessimist is miserable himself and makes miserable all with whom he comes into contact. Put water cut for the birds and animals that come your way. Thoughtfulness in this is well repaid by watching the graffitied creature as they slake their thirst. Be particularly careful with fire at this season. Following the long, dry months of summer, conditions are perilous if there be carelessness with fire. Wood everywhere is like tinder. Europe continues to sight for financial lubricant from America to oil its economic machinery. But Uncle Sam maintains that elusive, far-away look whenever the subject is mentioned. Teach children not to use slighting, reproachful terms in speaking of other countries and peoples. Teach them to speak courteously of and to feel respectful toward other lands. This would have a strong influence for peace. Peace among nations and peoples is founded upon confidence, respect and good will. APATHY IS MANIFEST Apathy among the people as to politics is reported from many parts of the country. It was in evidence here in California in the recent state primary, in which less than half of the registered vote of the state was cast. Many citizens to whom the adjective "good" applies in everything but their practical citizenship, become disgusted with all political parties and with politics in general and refuse to vote or to have anything to do with the processes by which governmental policies are determined in this country. This widespread apathy among the very element of citizenry who could, if they would, improve politics and make political parties responsive to the people's will, is disastrous to the country. Instead of apathy, there should be intense interest and alert activity among good citizens, resolutely striving to re-mould the political elements as the people themselves would have. Politics is not automatically self-righting. If the people do not demand and bring about betterments, they will not come. The king of Slam has only one wife while his father had 300, but that may be the reason. The man who carries a dinner bucket is more of a protection to the country than a man who carries a gun. A writer says the Turk is efficient. Piffle. After years of constant effort, he hasn't yet exterminated the Armenians. The girl who likes to sit on her dad's knees and tell him about things never accepts an invitation to ride with a stranger. That kind of manners remind us that the general can afford to be more affable than the lieutenant because he is sure of his superiority.

Such is the stand of the women gathering here for the Women's Activities Exposition to be held under the direction of the Business and Professional Women's League. So they are putting on a fashion show among other things not to dictate fashions for other people, but to impress upon thoughtless minds the fact that business women are among our best-dressed people, and that the makers and interpreters of fashions ought to give some special thought to these same business women in the creation of their styles. "Flappers, debutante, dancing girl, and every other kind of girl, is portrayed and designed for," says Mrs. Caroline Radner Lewis, "but no attention has ever been given us—and we think we're important." Where DO all the animals come from? In two blocks on Eighth-ave, there are 33 fur shops. A monument in the hart of the theatrical district, erected to the memory of Lillian Russell, has been suggested to the people of the stage, by one group of them. It is believed that there will be decided response to the suggestion, and that New York's first statue to a woman may be placed in Times Square.

The fundamental difference between Russia and the United States is a state mind. Four-fifths of the matter spends on the printed page in this country today is destructive in its tender. Some of it has revolution as its objective; some a peaceful change governmental policies; some of it mere opposition to certain feats of the legislative and administrative program of the government. All of it produces the same result: a growing discontent with the existing order and a breaking down of the constructive elements in public and private life. Radicalism was never before effectively active in this country; it is today. Radicalism wrestles at the fundamentals of traditional Americanism is ten times as busy as conservatism which clients to that which is good in the eating order and opposes experiment remedies for existing abuses befited to be worse than the disease seek to cure.

Where DO all the animals come from? In two blecks on Eighth-ave, there are 33 fur shops. A monument in the hart of the theatrical district, erected to the memory of Lillian Russell, has been suggested to the people of the stage, by one group of them. It is believed that there will be decided response to the suggestion, and, that New York's first statue to a woman may be placed in Times Square. "Better Times," the new Hippodrome production starts with a fanfare and a flourish, and it carries through an exuberance of color, music, immensity and dancing, which it seems as if even the Hippodrome had not quite equalled heretofore. It is all that a Hippodrome show could be, and there isn't much that could be said beyond that tribute." One of the most beautiful things in it is "The Story of a Fan," a large and lovely ballet, employing the presence of scores and scores of pretty dancers and figurantes, with Miss Virginia Futrelle and Miss Nannette Flack as its pieces de resistance. We usually expect European visitors to this country to exclaim about how advanced our women are! How remarkable it seems to the older civilization to see us in so many kinds of work and take such an important place in the scheme of affairs! But here comes Miss Ingeborg Hellner-Nielson, across from Denmark and reverses the usual order of things. Miss Hellner Nielson has arrived with the sub-director of police in Copenhagen and a military judge, to demonstrate before the International Police Conference, a new system for identifying criminals. She is a fingerprint expert, one of the greatest in the world, and in spite of her less than five feet, her blond hair, and her red lips she is one of the foremost, feared by international criminals. There is some quality of a respect ablized Eugene Walter play in "The Endless Chain," by James Forbes, which has just opened at the George M. Cohan Theater. Not that the drama is not quite worth standing on its own and Mr. Fobes reputation, but the Walter flavor is so good in it that one cannot help mentioning it. Margaret Lawrence has the leading role, that of the ambitious bride of an insolvent New York bond salesman who she aspired to reform—financially, with various complications, reaching a well worked climax in the third act. It is a bright and yet serious comedy, well written and well played. Some used thier Fords to run down neighbors, while others use their tongues. PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quellen Remorse is that miserable feeling that ensues when the kick dies out. The boy who is hired to be good frequently turns out to be good for nothing. German junker: "Yon Cassius hath a sane and reasonable look. Assassinate him." Thirsty brethern are free to move, you know, if they would rather by night than resident. East is East and West is West, and the twain will never feel the same way about a subsidy. Our own guess is that Lot's wife turned back because she had forgotten to put out the cat. Woman has been emancipated, but she still is willing to pay 50 per cent more for a frock if the salesman talks a little French. Let's wasn't there some talk that the doughboys would run this country when they came back? When the ladies boss the land, no doubt the ideal form of government will be a perfect thirty-six. You can't always tell, and it may be that he is a forward-looker because his past won't bear scrutiny. Titled Germans might tolerate a republic if it wasn't for the fact that mere peasants are getting rich. The parable of the Prodigal Son teaches, among other things, that Russia will eventually tire of husks. It takes a lot of nerve for any modern nation to talk about "an undeveloped people, incapable of self-government." And yet the backbone of our civilization is composed of men who eat with their coats off except when there is company. There are always compensations. When the small boy is required to put on shoes he escapes a great deal of foot washing. The scars of war are healing, and you seldom hear a doughboy cussing medicine over a color card. Dr. Mopps has dropped out o' th' Highland Country Club an'll resume th' practice o' medicine. There are a dozen big organizations, with headquarters at Wellington, engaged in stirring up content. One of these organizations publishes a paper, violently assailing the administration and prizes business enterprises in the interest of the government ownership car. The articles and cartoons ip weekly publication, with a circulation mounting well toward two millions, are violent in their appeal class hatred. They are sowing wind out of which the director this enterprise must hope to real whirlwind such as that which swept civilization from its moors in more than one European nation. While this is going on most those who believe in American institutions are asleep. Many of them are engaged in clamorous criticism of some one thing or two in the national government that does not them. While the clouds of a so political and economic cyclone gather they are whining matters of small moment as comedied with the maintenance of the fabric of society and the body polio. The demagogues and doctrines declare that they are enlisted in war of "human rights vs. property. TOWN IN REVIEW Scientists are hunting an wild mosquito in Alaska.
