DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS We pray for the fulness of Thy spirit. Give us the fervor of devotion, the glow of philanthropy. Awaken us to a holy zeal, a joy in Thy service, a promptness to do and to suffer whatsoever Thou dost appoint. —William Ellery Channing. Pessimism is one of the unhappiest of "isms." America has no reason to blush or to apologize for its record in the World War. Final adjournment of congress will not be a signal for the country to go into mourning. What is the use of having the right to vote, if the right is not used—and used conscientiously and intelligently? Why does the circus always come the first week of school? Why does this unkind Fate pursue little Willie, year after year? If the brides are not compelled to promise to "obey," perhaps they would be disposed to do so. Some of these shrewd men may be calculating on this very thing! Europe's plight is very grievous, but not hopeless. If it eschews militarism and settles down to the day's work, it should ride the waves of misfortune successfully. How would it do to make the bride-groom, at the marriage altar, promise to "obey" the bride? There is just as valid reason for this today as there is to require brides to take such a pledge. The trouble with too many members of Congress is, that they give more attention to holding onto their office than they do to carrying on, BENEFIT COMING FROM MR. HUGHES' TRIP Charles E. Hughes, secretary of state, is returning from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's capital, where he attended the opening of that flourishing republic's continental exposition. His visit was in the nature of a triumphal progress. His reception by the Brazilians was spontaneous and very enthusiastic. No foreign visitor to that country has been accorded a more hospitable welcome. It is believed that the visit of Secretary Hughes has done much to offset the unfavorable opinion of the United States which has developed in some parts of Latin America since the World War Mr. Hughes' ingenuous, cordial expressions of friendship on the part of the government and people of the United States toward the Latin republics, have created a good impression down there. His visit and his expressions of sentiment may counteract the bad impressions of this country and its attitude which have prevailed in Latin America. FROM NEWSBOY TO HEAD OF UNIVERSITY Hurrah for the newsboys! They are becoming presidents, right and left. There is one of them in the White House right now—Warren Gamaliel Harding, who, as a lad, sold papers in his home town in Ohio. And another former newsboy has just become president of the University of Arizona. He is from Ohio; too, but has lived in California the greater part of his thirty-three years of life. He is Dr. Cloyd H. Marvin. He has distinguished himself in educational work here in Southern California. His connection with the University of California, Southern Branch, has been important. In the flower of his youth he is called to head the rising University of Arizona. What a wonderful commentary on the opportunities to rise, in this democratic land! The boy with brains, and pluck, and character, may go up and up, with practically no limit to his possibilities. Jim Beasley gar by mistlethought it w comin' back longin's. If bet business mighty impatient lyin' at Was How would it do to make the bridegroom, at the marriage altar, promise to "obey" the bride? There is just as valid reason for this today as there is to require brides to take such a pledge. The trouble with too many members of Congress is, that they give more attention to holding onto their office than they do to carrying on, faithfully and fearlessly, in the performance of their legislative duties. Mrs. Harding, wife of the president has taken strong hold upon the esteem and affections of the American people. Sympathy and prayers from millions have been with her ever since the seriousness of her illness became known publicly. Europe faces the threat of a "holy war" on the part of the Turks. It may require one more bloody lesson in dealing with the Turks to impel the great powers to put them out of Europe and curb them against future troubles. The unspeakable Turk once more is causing trouble and bloodshed. Pity that the powers of Europe do not agree among themselves to thrust the Turk out of Europe and keep him out. He is always cruel, crafty and bloodthirsty. WISE AND WITTY As a disturber of sleep, debt is as bad as an open muffler. The best cure for sickness is a poor memory; simply forget it. The problem of labor is to find a way to win strikes as easily as it is to call them. When a man thinks as much of his duties as he does of his rights, he is never out of a job. Bad health and jealousy go together. About the only thing that has less holding power than an industrial agreement is a small-town jail. The fellow who doesn't get mad easily puts up a nasty fight when he does. Never get anywhere for the simple reason that they never start anywhere. It might be worse. The government at Washington still lives, and each day sees a new filling station erected.

TOWN IN REVIEW Willard Mack's fourth wife, who left him the other day, has returned to him saying she only left to give him a scare. Maybe she returned for the same reason. A man who throws water usually gets a chilly reception. Wise men never make faces at a cop or spank a neighbor's child. WINE Enough wine to give every American a pint and a half is locked up in California's bonded warehouses and wineries. The total is over 21,-000,000 gallons. That seems a lot, and is. But it would be interesting, probably surprising, to compare it with the amount of wine locked up in one season's California raisin crop. Nearly every one seems to have a key to this particular lock. William Mudoon, boss of boxing in New York state, announces that if Dempsey fights in that state 40,000 seats must be sold at $2 apiece and $15 must be the maximum. We trust that the people of New York appreciate William's blow at the high cost of living. STUDIED CARELESSNESS Bert—Your hair always has that pretty, carless look.

HUGHES' HINTS TO EDUCATORS—New York Evening Post Of all the pronouncements upon education with which the air has recently been filled, the most notable is the one made yesterday by a man who is not a member of the teaching profession. In the details upon which he touched, as well as in his general contentions, what Secretary Hughes said in the paper read at Boston before the National Education Association is worthy of the most serious attention. Every one agrees that the American ideal in education, as in other matters, is equal of opportunity, but Mr. Hughes was concerned to know what this inspiring phrase means. Lately it has been employed as if it meant chiefly opportunity for vocational training. Such opportunity, said Mr. Hughes, is included nothing less than its full meaning is nothing les sthan that "of giving play to talent and aspiration and to the development of mental and spiritual powers." In these words he recalled educators from excessive emphasis upon one part of their task to a view of the entire job. If education needs anything more than another just now, it is a sense of proportion. Mr. Hughes address should do much to give it a keen realization of this need. Another timely word dropped by Mr. Hughes was "discipline." Here again, without naming the quality he pleaded for a sense of proportion, arguing that while it is important to make study interesting and to recognize individual gifts "the primary lesson for the citizens of democracy is self-control." In stressing this point he struck out an epigram that statesmen no less than educators would do well to remember. "The sentimentalists," he observed, "are just as dangerous as the materialists." Mr. Hughes own course in office gives him the right to make this declaration, "declaration that comes at a moment." By Robert Quillen Mr. Ford may shut down, but never up. After a vacation is spent, the vacationist usually is. About all the modern home is used for is a starting point. When men are denied free speech, they usually say it with bombs. Another infernal triangle is an indulgent dad, a smart-Aleck boy, and a pistol. And it may be that the Wandering Jew was looking for a place to park his jitney. The world grows better, but it hasn't outgrown the belief that a man's greatness is measured by the number of people he can snub with impunity. Two are required to make an injunction effective: the court, and the fellow it is supposed to enjoin. The voice of the people has its good points in a medley but it gets quicker results as a chorus. Some men are like rivers. A river may have a very small head, but it has a great flow at the mouth. The enormous sale of fake radio stock would indicate that the birth rate has increased since Barnum's time. It might be a good idea for the National Museum to pick up a few good freight engines while the picking is good. "Hell is within you," cries an evangelist. Sure. And most of our share is concentrated in the second bicuspid. Fate is something that every man hands to himself. The melancholy days are here, the saddest days in years; men no longer use their heads; they're guided by their fears. Being dead sure of a veto, why didn't senators open up their hearts and promise the doughboys a million dollars each? Posterity won't object to th load placed on its shoulders if there is any muscle-building quality in these modern dances. Correct this sentence: "I do not care for another piece of pie," said the small boy; "I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for me." Bert—Your hair always has that pretty, carless look. Edna—And it only takes me two hours to dress it that way. Edna Ferber, the writer, back from Germany, says the Germans are talking about the next war. We don't blame them much for not talking about the last one. Canning season near an end, Not much more, hurrah! Only thing that isn't canned Is father's tacky straw. You hear about the ultimate consumer all the time. He's the feller who ultimately gets hit. Besides being school month, September has five bath nights! HE OUGHT TO MAKE A GOOD RAILROAD COMMISSIONER Tom T. Stephens is frequently called upon to settle disputes as to dates because of his remarkable memory. It is said Mr. Stephens can tell the birthday of every person born in Hungry Bend during the last 25 to 30 years; that he remembers the score of every baseball game played in that vicinity and that he can tell the number of votes received by every candidate elected in that county during the last quarter of a century. —Hungry Bend correspondence. Hardy (Ark.) Herald. NEW TARIFF TO BE LAW IN SHORT TIME The pending tariff measure has its warm friends and its bitter enemies. It admittedly is one of the strongest protective measures ever framed. It is particularly strong in duties on agricultural products. In truth, its proponents "point with pride" to this feature of the bill as being the first comprehensive attempt to give tariff protection to farm products. California soil products are well protected which is gratifying, of course, to Californians. Whatever, in general, may be said in praise or in blame of this tariff measure, it will be well for the country to have it become a law and have the suspense ended. Business and industry then can adjust themselves to the new schedules. Without doubt, there will be a healthy settling of business and industry for this reason, soon after the measure becomes law. Perhaps its quality best can be judged after it is in operation for a while. Los Angeles is claiming a population of 700,000 to 800,000. Or about the proportions of Senator La Follette's lead in Wisconsin, more or less. DANGERS OF THE POWER ACT Riverside Press Have you a water right? Do you belong to a mutual water company that owns a water right? Do you own any water stock? Do you buy water from a water company that owns a water right? Do you believe that your water is appurtenant to your land and can never be severed from it without your consent? Have you, or has your company spent thousands of dollars to establish your right through long years of litigation? Do you know that all this may be taken from you if you do not awaken to the dangers of the proposed water and power act. This is an act which if adopted, will give to five men of California the right to commemn your water and your water right upon payment of such sum as might be awarded. It might be an adequate price, but the chances are it would not be. Do not delude yourself with the comforting thought that your water or power right is protected by a court decree, for this act is proposed as an amendment to the constitution, which is of higher authority than any statute or legal precedent upon which your decree may have been based. The act would enable the board to take away, by condemnation, your water and put it some other place it so desired to do. If your nearest city needs more water the board could deprive you of it and relegate you to dry farming if it saw fit to do so. There is not one word in the act to prevent it. Block any chance to lose your water rights by voting no on proposition No. 19, the water and power act, November 7. J. E.

A 10 per cent reduction in wages of all workmen employed directly upon such a house would amount to only $200. In other words a 10 per cent wage cut all along the line and that would be considered radical by most building crafts just now, would mean a $4800 house instead of a $5,000 house. A little thought should give confidence to owners who are building now in the future value of their property. Reductions in wages may be inevitable but they will be made gradually and it is manifest that any marked recession must cover a period of years. Building costs will come down only as wagga recede and birthing slight fluctuations, such as are always with us, present average costs will stand for some time.
