DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR PUTTING BASEBALL ON A READERS The look, the air, that frets thy sight, May be a token, that below The soul has closed in deadly fight With some infernal, fiery foe, Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace, And cast thee, shuddering, on thy face! —Adalalde A. Procter. Baseball, football and every other popular sport should be kept honest and clean. More than 20,000 miles of roads were improved in the United States during the year. This is an investment that is to be rated as first-class in every respect. There is something in extreme age, if it be the rounding out of a useful honorable life, that is venerable, and that inspires respectful feelings and noble thoughts. That industrial and trade conditions are improving steadily throughout the country is the tenor of reports from all sections. It bids fair winter. In another way, Clara Phillips is in seventeen different places at the same time—to prove this just read the varying reports in one edition of the sensational newspapers. Eastern cities are feeling the sting of a coal shortage, with temperatures low. And the winter has just begun. There will be much suffering before spring. Never again should conditions be such in the coal fields as to bring on acute shortage of fuel in winter. What's the matter with having a clean basis? Organized baseball is being cleansed, as abuses arise. In some cases very drastic steps are taken to purify the sport, morally. But these heroic measures should be effectual in deterring any in the game from transgressing the principles of uprightness and honor. And of any there be in the game who are not honorable and not square, the sooner they are driven out of baseball the better. Of general interest is the action of the National Board of Arbitration of organized baseball in banishing forever from organized baseball a prominent club magnate of the Pacific Coast League. The man thus deposed is highly indignant and threatens court action. His friends also feel that the action of the arbitration board is too severe. Whatever may be the merits or demerits of this specific case, the action is significant of the purpose of those who control the destinies of baseball to make the game clean and above suspicion. This general purpose is highly commendable. The public wants clean sport and will not suport baseball or any other game unless it be clean and honest. ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS UNDER FIRE The old Hamiltonian plan of an electoral college soon may be abolished. President and Vice President of the United States will elect by direct vote of the people ere long. This should be. The electoral college long since became obsolete—in fact, its futility became maniest even while Alexander Hamilton lived. The provision which Mr. Hamilton had inserted into the Constitution took no cognizance of political parties.

Never again should conditions be such in the coal fields as to bring on acute shortage of fuel in winter. What's the matter with having a night watchman to patrol the outside of the Los Angeles County jail? An alert watchman would prevent jail deliveries. And the salary of a watchman would not be as much in a year as is expended in a few days in trying to reapprehend an escaped prisoner. M. Clemenceau is an ardent French patriot and his patriotism prompts him to propose measures which draw sharp criticism. Personally he has been received with respect and deference in the United States. But this country holds in abeyance its opinions as to French policies and will judge them on their merits as they become known. The United States is recognized with respect throughout the world as a dominant power in all movements affecting the peace and well-being of mankind. This country may not directly participate in conferences held and in compacts formulated in Europe and elsewhere, but it is a commanding figure just the name. When its opinions or its will are expressed, other powers listen respectfully. UNDER FIRE The old Hamiltonian plan of an electoral college soon may be abolished. President and Vice President of the United States will elect by direct vote of the people ere long. This should be. The electoral college long since became obsolete—in fact, its futility became maniest even while Alexander Hamilton lived. The provision which Mr. Hamilton had inserted into the Constitution took no cognizance of political parties. The original plan was to select the leading men of all the states to compose the electoral college and to have them meet and actually to choose the President. Since the creation of political parties, Presidential electors have not functioned in this way at all. In truth, their functioning now is merely perfunctory and the whole process is almost farcical. It would be in the line of wholesome progress to abolish the electoral college and to permit the people to vote directly for President and Vice President. A blizzard "back yonder" is a mint for California. Nearly all the little boys and girls are good these days, bless their hearts! But if any of them are not always up to standard of goodness, ones are not impeccable, heaven knows! Farmers would be willing to have fewer bushels of products and more dollars of returns from their crops. This year has not been as bright, financially, for the American husbandman is it might have been. But influences are at work to better the status to the farmer.

Los Angeles St. Phone 489 EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS (3y Robert Quillen) There are none so blind that they can't see the other fellow's duty. Love is seldom so blind that it can't see on which side its bread is buttered. The boss is a just and responsible man. He always pays for the time his empolyes kill. A high-brow evening is one spent in exhibiting your little store of useless information. The American Eagle can't save France, however, without the active co-operation of the stork. For many girls, romance is divided into three parts: (1) friendship, (2) courtship, (3) hardship. Modern arithmetic: If the pay satchel contains $8,000 to pay 213 men, how far will the messenger walk before he is cracked in the head? As a rule, the man who doesn't believe in life insurance doesn't believe in treating a wife too much like a human being. Correct this sentence: "He has a very ugly temper," said the fond mother, "and I think he gets that from my side of the house." NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The gallery gods are coming back. For season after season, their departure from our theatres has been bemoaned. Actors declared the best of their inspiration was gone, without these articulate and enthusiastic factors in the audiences. Plans are at last under way to restore the old joys of the seats at the top of the house, from which they can applaud or hiss to their hearts' content. Albert Sullivan, a retired actor, has announced that he is busy forming the Peanut Gallery League. The League will hold a mass meeting in the near future to determine what can be done about it. At last, we have the final assurance that M. Emile Coue is coming to town. Ever since we read the first book about him published in English, we have been reading items telling us that we would probably have him with us before long, but we hadn't become sufficiently imbued with the power of thought to depend upon these reports until the announcement was made in definite form, with names and dates, those necessary adjuncts of any news to the doubling American public. On January 10th, he will land here, and two days later, give his first address at the Town Hall, under the auspices of such people as the League for Political Education, the McDwell club, Oliver S. Lyford and a dozen others of prominence. M. Coue has become almost a household word in TOWN IN REVIEW They are talking of naming the Los Angeles-co jail, the Los Angeles county siege.

It is a kind of a pay-as-you-go-out. Guests are asked not to stay any longer than necessary as it costs the county money. The guests are also asked to refrain from sawing the bars, as it interferes with the sleep of other guests. If they MUST leave, they are to ask the jailer for an extra key, it saves time, money and county property. One thing about having a leaky jail, it gives all the deputies something to do hunting prisoners. It's wonderful, the advance science has made in that dear old Iowa. FOR SALE—14 acres, hill and lowland pasture for 2 cows, both with running water. Balance under cultivation. Adv. of A. J. Elsengger in Dubuque (Ia.) Telegraph Herald. John D. Rockefeller is a plous old cuss, but so far he has never made a move to close his gas stations on Sunday. The Peublo Indians of New Mexico, says a dispatch from Washington, are being robbed. What! Didn't our ancestors do a thorough job? China's deposed emperor was married to a girl he never saw. In Anaheim you marry one you never see afterwards. A LIVELY TIME FOR YE EDITOR We hope our readers may bear with us the short coming of our paper this week. This force hasn't applied for a vacation this year but during the two weeks series of meetings at the Baptist church we have enjoyed the attendance of services daily and have made the occasion a real vacation from our usual tasks.—Logansport (La.) Interstate Progress. The Atlantic Refining Co., has declared a 900 per cent stock dividend. Is it necessary for us to add that is an Uncle John D. Rockefeller company? And Stanard Oil of Indiana has declared a 100 per cent stock dividend. This shows how valuable is the advice of John and his son Johnny, who urge us to save our pennies—But who are silent on the question of grabbing them. A woman doesn't always think about her looks. At times she thinks about some other woman's looks. Maybe it all depends on America, after all, America didn't help the ancient civilization, and they perished. It seems strange to see people spending great sums for food when they haven't a spare tire on the premises. The restaurants have overlooked one bet. They haven't sold the checking privilege for the cars of their patrons. The trouble with frosty air as a substitute for rouge is that it gives a glow to the nose as well as the cheeks. Every congregation loads the work on those who are willing to do it, and then cuses them for trying to boss things. As we understand it, the slogan of the Communists is "Brotherly Love, Equally, and Dynamite." There are fairly recent fathers, and then there are fathers who haven't time to talk to their small sons. Every woman has at least one acquaintance she would drop except for the fact that the creature knows so much nice gossip. Every honest effort Germany makes re-acts on herself. She has exported thousands of police dogs, and now the price of wuerst is prohibitive. Neglect often means serious defects in vision, education and health. Our examination will tell we hadn't become sufficiently imbued with the power of thought to depend upon these reports until the announcement was made in definite form, with names and dates, those necessary adjuncts of any news to the the doubting American public. On January 10th, he will land here, and two days later, give his first address at the Town Hall, under the auspices of such people as the League for Political Education, the McDowell club, Oliver S. Lyford and a dozen others of prominence. M. Coue has become almost a household word in this country, he will find, because of the many Americans who have sought relief from ills through going to talk to him at his home in Nancy, France, and have found that "auto-suggestion" is a very real thing when it can remove pain and sickness. M. Coue insists that he doesn't cure anyone—the just shows them how to cure themselves, teaching them self-healing through the use of the unconscious mind: That is why he refuses to take any personal remuneration for his work. Among New Yorkers interested in his work are Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Miss Elsie De Wolfe, Judge F. D. Wells, Mrs. H. B. Duryen, and Mr. and Mrs. Beecher Stowe. He will remain in this country for only two weeks. We depart sometimes from the standards of those stern, freedom-loving people who founded our country and our government, but I believe we do appreciate them after all.

Striebel When so penetrating a thinker and adept a writer as Fereno Molnar takes so absorbing a subject as neckties and cheeses in their relation to society and weaves a play about it we listen attentively. Such is the production of "Fushions for Men" as presented with the astute O. P. Heggle in the title role. In this gay comedy of human frailty and consuming appurtenances of life, another very recent luminary of the stage appears. But a few weeks ago, Helen Gahagan, was unknown to us. Yet with her appearance in an unheralded play, and a very bad play as suggested in "Lillilom" but without the acrid philosophy propounded in that success. This play will probably be more successful with more people than the other, and the original devotees will be able to read in what they insist Molnar stands for in whatever he writes. There are artistic dillettate among our burglaries as well as any of our more conventional people. Thieves who entered the home of Kew Gardens, Long Island, the other night proved it.

Yet with her appearance in an unheralded play, and a very bad play as it is remembered, she set a determined claim on the affections of theatre-goers. Through Molnar, we have more of the Hungarian whimsy. Spiritualist Lecture REV. B. F. AUSTIN Subject Make your Heaven here and now Don't fail to hear Rev.
