DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Live for the future life; watch, watch and pray; Remember, child of Time. Thou art immortall filing not Heaven away.—Horatius Bonar. Murderous banditry should be fought with its own weapons. The people never should be nig-gardly in providing for maintenance of public schools. America may help in Europe, but it will not meddle or entangle in the domestic politics of Europe. Santa Claus may be somewhat tired and financially embarrassed for the time being, but he's happy. Pessimism is the philosophy of despair; optimism is the philosophy of hope. There is no question as to which is the better. Uncle Sam would have a readler ear to listen to Europe's cries of distress if it were known of all men that Europe were doing all it possible could to help itself. There is enough food in the world to provide for all mankind. Not a single human being would starve if food supplies were distributed as they might be and should be. California is making healthy progress in every direction—gaining in population, increasing in industrial output, growing in yield of its orchards and ranches, and expanding its commercial interests. One little smile, one little act of kindness, may save a heart from breaking; may save a life and may re-consecrate that life to honor and usefulness. God alone knows how MURDEROUS BANDITRY IS RIFE AGAIN The bandit with the ready murderous gun should be given no more consideration than would be given a rabid animal at large. Consider, for illustration, that holdup of employees in front of the branch mint at Denver. An aged, trusted guard was shot to death in cold blood, not because he was endangering the life of the bandit who shot him, but because he dared to do his duty in trying to protect the treasure which he was sworn to guard. Guard Linton died a martyr to duty bravely performed. But the infamous creature who slew him possibly never may be caught and probably never will be punished adequately, even if caught. That murderous creature deserves to be put to death if ever a man deserved capital punishment. The gun bandits are busy again here in California. They are biracen in their desperation. Their crimes should be checked by the sternstest means that can be devised. The ready gun of the bandit should be met and foiled by the ready gun of the armed guard or police officer. If a few of these potential murderers were shot to death as they ply their murderous crimes, the survivors would be checked in their bloody career. If the Christ were re-born upon earth today, how would He be received? Would He be believed and accepted? or would He be rejected of men? The religious life of a people is of the utmost importance. Religion colors nearly all human activities and relations. Many a person is influenced by religion more strongly than he or she is ready to admit, or than he or she realizes. It is of vital importance, therefore, that rel- California is making healthy progress in every direction—gaining in population, increasing in industrial output, growing in yield of its orchards and ranches, and expanding its commercial interests. One little smile, one little act of kindness, may save a heart from breaking; may save a life and may re-consecrate that life to honor and usefulness. God alone knows how much these supposedly little helpfulnesses in life count. Remember the great work that the mail clerk and carrier has done during the Christmas rush. When one considers the enormous volume of holiday mail handled, one marvels at the efficiency, energy, pluck and public spirit of the men who do so much so well in the service of the people. Military strength in this country never should go beyond what reasonable preparedness for national defense demands. The people never should be burdened with cost of excessive armament. Nor should there be any savoring of militarism in this country's armament. It should be sheerly and solely defensive. If the Christ were re-born upon earth today, how would He be received? Would He be believed and accepted? or would He be rejected of men? The religious life of a people is of the utmost importance. Religion colors nearly all human activities and relations. Many a person is influenced by religion more strongly than he or she is ready to admit, or than he or she realizes. It is of vital importance, therefore, that religious influence should be of the best at all times and in all circumstances. If young men who are influenced and tempted to enter upon a life of crime, would investigate thoroughly and thoughtfully; if they would note what befalls criminals; if they would take cognizance of the perils and the suspense and the inevitable remorse in the life of the criminal; if they would apprehend that criminality gives no security, no real pleasure—nothing that is worth striving for in life. If young men would inquire and observe and think along these lines, their good common sense, if not their moral scruples, would impel them to keep clear of criminal actions and to lead law-biding lives.

Abe Marlin PARAGRAPHS (3y Robert Quillen) The list of surplus war material includes race prejudice. It might be worse. We have the K. K. K., but we hear less of K-K-Katy. Dictionaries are funny things. In ours repentance comes before satiety. The man who wrote "Joy cometh in the morning," lived before the time of alarm clocks. As long as mankind dwells on the earth, mankind won't lack for a horrible example. The theory of punishment is all right, but some children are too severe with their parents. "Woman" is a wonderful word. And the more wonderful the woman, the less she cares about being called a "lady." Some folks 'll pay if they've got it when they think of it. We don't know any "jay walker" 'cept Johnny Walker, an' we hain't seen him fer years. WISE AND WITTY Remember the dead timber which fell into decay; it could not hold its own. The ragged edges of the mind receive their polish through thinking. What work will accomplish idleness will destroy. TOWN IN REVIEW The city council authorized an appropriation of 25 cents which would have been an important act in H sia. Imagine Russian newspapers write the headline, "Council-Makes Him on Treasury; Appropriates 1,872,440 Rubles to Pay Bill; E Wagons Haul from Treasury to Bee's Warehouse." San Francisco bandits blew a dust escaped with $46,000. Po thing robbery was the motive. GEORGE FINALLY THAWS George Matthews, one of the great farmers of this country, has been reading the Enterprise-News all life, but has not been a subscriber. George lives down on the old house and has read his father's per. George says that when the per comes there is a great scram and so he just decided to get a per of his own.—Cambridge Sprig (Pa).

What work will accomplish idleness will destroy. We are disappointed if our small bait does not always bring large returns. The best policies do not always come from insurance companies. Maine's law prohibiting use of ice is all right, but just now we'd rather have a law prohibiting its formation. Sufficient proof of man's long-suffering patience lies in the fact that pedestrians don't strew the highway with tacks. The big gun roars in office; but when his term is out, the best he can do is a plaintive "Ping." A man may have a legal right to get drunk in his home, but a right isn't the only thing he needs. It isn't fear. They handle Turkey gently for the same reason that one handles that kind of egg gently. If a man is on his toes, that means he is full of pep, but in the case of a woman, it only means French heels. The war period gave us many new expressions, but it robbed us of "Say when." So live that you will never have to explain to your wife that you really didn't care a darn for the woman.
