The voice and influence of the United States at all times should be for just peace throughout the world. Congress should take the filibuster out and back it against the wall and order the firing squad to do its duty. Promote education in every practicable way possible. Fight illiteracy in every practicable way possible. Help to clear California of ignorance. Economy in government should be the watchword everywhere. The people should demand business-like handling of public funds, with no waste and no extravagance.

There are intimations of inexecutable laxities on the part of those who should have kept close watch over Mrs. Phillips and should have censored her actions. It seems unbelievable that the matron of the jail should have been no close to Mrs. Phillips' room during the night of the escape, wide enough awake to be absorbed in a book and yet not alert enough to hear the nefarious work that was going on. Permitting prisoners of desperate character to escape is no light matter. A woman is at large who is proven to be a dangerous character. Taxpayers of this country are put to heavy expense in searching for her. The law and legal means of punishment again are brought into contempt before the criminal and vicious. Desperate characters are emboldened by this episode. There should be a severe shake-up in connection with this deplorable escape. Any and all who may have assisted, from the outside, should be punished. And any who, on the inside of the prison, may have wilfully connived at the escape, or through negligence of duty may have helped it on, should be brought to reckoning. The national budget system is vindicating its usefulness by its fruits. Former Premier Clemenceau has spoken some words of criticism of America's course since the World War which have no sugar coating. But Americans will think none less of the distinguished visitor because of his plain blunt speaking.

The Panama Canal is justifying the hopes and expectations of its friends. It is a financial success, and its construction is such that its safety is assured.

H. MANN Dodge Brothers Dealer 210 S. Los Angeles St. Phone 43 Anaheim EDITORIAL Abe Marlin PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Europe wants moral support, of course, but not too darned moral. Good resolutions made at nightfall usually break about the time day does. Most of those who keep up a front bring up the rear when the cash on hand is counted. Too many people interpret liberty as the right to select the laws they will obey. Once in a while you find a rich man's son who isn't rather ashamed of his commonplace old dad. You never know how much pride mere words can express until you hear a very young business man speak of "my stenographer." People no longer enjoy burning Christian martyrs, but they get about the same reaction by watching a fat man in mad pursuit of a hat. Knowledge is recognition of the fact that fire will burn; wisdom is contemplation of the blister. Th' way th' congress an' th' railroads are disregardin' seniority rights is enough t make th' lifelong Democrat wonder where he stands. One dandy good thing about prohibition—th' feller that goes out between acts t' git a drink hardly ever comes back. TOWN IN REVIEW Faint heart never won fair lady, but fathead has, says Tom Sims.

Lawson years ago did the country a service in a series of confessions which he called "Frenzied Finance." By themselves they would have been inconsiderable, but taken with contemporary writings by sound investigators they led this country to see that too many of our leading men and institutions gambled with wealth instead of using it conservatively for the upbuilding of the country. There have been and will continue to be outbursts of that gambling mania from time to time; but the exposures in which Lawson figured caught a seventh wave at its crest and flattened it perceptibly. This service would have been all the greater if Lawson himself had been better balanced and fairer to his enemies. There was a touch of charlatanry about the whole performance. Lawson never quite reformed himself before he set out to reform the world. Indeed, he was a born gambler and kept on gambling to the inevitable denouncement. Some of those he flayed changed their ways, but he never changed his. Still, it is a melancholy fact to think of this picturesque, self-revealing figure as "broke". To the common man he seemed in the heyday of his revelations a veritable superman, uncanny in his knowledge of how things were done in the realm of high finance. The fact is that he was merely a lucky plunger who enjoyed a brief strut upon the public stage at a time when circumstances TOWN IN REVIEW Faint heart never won fair lady, but fathead has, says Tom Sims. WE COULD ALMOST CALL HIS NAME The Biological institute boasts it has in its aquarium the largest lobster in captivity. This creature has often been spoken of in our hearing. Radium is now only $70,000 a gram, which will be welcome news to the working people of Anaheim. Progressives will control the 1923 California legislature. By the end of the season we'll know who controlled the progressives. Education is a great thing, but you can't whip a traffic cop with it. Hitting the ground is much easier than hitting a golf ball because the ground is so much larger, observes Tom Sims.

Forty-seven officers soon to be discharged from the army at San Francisco have issued an appeal for work. We suggest they get in touch with some of the former privates in their outfits. The Wright act goes into effect soon, and now is the time to be thankful we'll soon have a new city jail. A CONTEMPORARY OF ANON Better that all our ships and all their crews, Should seek to rot in ocean's dreamless ooze, Than seek such peace as only cowards crave; Give me the peace of dead men or of brave, These ringing lines from Ibid fittingly describe that memorable peace for four years ago today when the armistice was signed and the great World War became history. It was the peace of the brave, not that of cowards.—Bloomington (Ill.) Pantagraph. People who think possessions don't bring happiness never saw a small boy with a pup. Never mind the critics. The engine's knock is always loudest when the car is climbing a hill. It may be that men no longer believe in dreams, but they still turn to look when one walks by. Your friends are those who understand you; your enemies are those who underestimate you. Tinkering with an automobile will eventually give you enough mechanical skill to make an automatic penil work. In this free and democratic country, almost everybody is willing to treat members of the upper class as equals. A great deal depends on the helpers, of course, but no business ever grows bigger than the vision of the boss. If the wife is getting plump, her only consolation is that she can't wear last winter's coat. In these days of sex stuff, it seems peculiarly fitting to refer to the six best sellers as a sexette. When blockheads at last depose the ruling class, it isn't surprising to find them with chips on their shoulders. Reckless automobile driving arouses the suspicion that much of the horse sense of the good old days was possessed by the horse. Two cots have been installed in the fuselage of his airplane by a French aviator for the use of persons wishing to sleep during night flights. A shovel for feeding coal to locomotive or power plant fire boxes has been invented that registers each shovelful with a counter in its handle. Dirigibles with accommodations for 60 passengers and a crew of 40 have been planned for a contemplated air service between Spain and Argentina.

Striebel Put a Hupmobile In Her Stocking Perhaps you are going to buy a car in the spring. Why not make a Christmas gift of it? If you were to ask the opinion of any garage mechanic as to the car you should Put a Hupmobile In Her Stocking Perhaps you are going to buy a car in the spring. Why not make a Christmas gift of it? If you were to ask the opinion of any garage mechanic as to the car you should buy for anywhere near the Hupmobile price, chances are probably ten to one that he would say "Hupmobile." Garage mechanics know motor car mechanism intimately; and they, therefore, know that the Hupmobile is built—that it has the stuff in it. They know that its materials, and its workmanship, compare favorably with cars two and three times its price. Get a trade-in figure on your present car. Drive over and see us soon.
