DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR AUTOMOBILE SHOWS OF READERS Salvation is right character. Right character is salvation. We need no other, as our bodies need nothing better than perfect health.—C. G. Ames. The friend who never betrays or fails a friend is a friend indeed. "Honesty is the best policy"—the policy that never lapses or defaults. America's formula is to help Europe find out how to help itself with reference to German reparations payments. Don't say "Happy New Year!" to anyone unless ready, in spirit to do all possible to make it happy for such person, in so far as you can do so. The amount of real satisfaction each one will get out of the year 1923, depends upon the amount of useful, faithful endeavor one puts into it. The severest critics of the frailties of others oftentimes are persons who have more frailties and worse ones than have those whom they criticise. Europe will be in a ferment until the question of German reparations has been settled once for all. Settlement of that issue lies at the foundation of economic stability and recovery over there. The New Year opens with employment conditions throughout the country quite favorable. In some industrial centers there is actual dearth of workington. Nearly everywhere there are more jobs than there are men to fill them. The automobile is a universal institution. Wherever any land vehicle can move, automobiles may be found in motion. Here in the United States one person of every ten owns an automobile. Which means that every tenth person, being a machine owner, is interested in machines. And the other nine persons, being either members of the families of owners, or their friends, or prospective owners, or wish-they-were owners, naturally take an interest in automobiles. Consequently, when an automobile show is held in any city, town or village, in any part of the land, there is general interest in the exhibition. For, on an average, one-tenth of the people of the community own cars, and the other nine-tenths of the people want to see the prevailing styles in cars and to figure out which style they will buy when their "ship comes in." Evolution of the automobile is one of the wonders of modern times. In a quarter of a century motor vehicles have transformed transportation conditions in this land, and hugely affected conditions in other civilized countries. It has become a motorized age. Swiftness in highway travel is the watchword of the times. The phenomenal increase in the number of automobiles and the diversity of their uses have been impelling causes for the construction of improved highways. The automobile has had and is having influence almost immeasurable upon transportation and other conditions and activities. Small wonder that automobile shows are centers of interest wherever they may be held. IMPRESS IMPORTANCE OF VOTING A generation has grown up, in this country, with many persons utterly Europe will be in a ferment until the question of German reparations has been settled once for all. Settlement of that issue lies at the foundation of economic stability and recovery over there. The New Year opens with employment conditions throughout the country quite favorable. In some industrial centers there is actual dearth of workington. Nearly everywhere there are more jobs than there are men to fill them. The pioneers of California are passing one by one. Sturdy, rugged men and women they were. The world has seen few like them. They blended romance and adventure, with courage and the will to do big things on faith in the future of California. Their faith was not misplaced. Many gallant aviators have gone to death, as pioneers in air service. From the defects which caused tragedies inventors have devised less dangerous machines, so that these courageous men have been martyrs, in a way, and their sacrifice of their lives has not been in vain. keenly regretted though it is. The United States navy should not be permitted to deteriorate and become unworthy of comparison with the sea power of other great marine countries. So long as this country must maintain naval strength, it should have armament adequate to the successful defense of the Nation should it be attacked. IMPRESS IMPORTANCE OF VOTING A generation has grown up, in this country, with many persons utterly indifferent to the franchise—men habitually neglect to vote. It is a deplorable lapse, and is becoming a menace. Should this indifference and apathy toward this vitally important functioning of the good citizen persist, the very foundations of free government would be shaken by it, in time. It denotes a laxity in conception of citizenly duties and obligations that is perilous. The oncoming generation should be fortified against this non-voting habit. Boys and girls should be taught to respect and to revere the franchise right; to regard it as a solemn, sacred privilege and an exalted duty to vote and to use every legitimate influence to promote good government. Educate a generation of boys and girls along this line, and this indifference to the ballot would be counteracted. More than 15,000 suicides in the United States annually denote social injustice and a false philosophy of life.

PORTANCE OF LING grown up, in thisperson utterly Abe Marlin COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING GOVERNMENT OF MALES—Chicago Journal of Commerce For many centuries government was wholly in control of men, women having no part in public affairs. Those men who never heard the story of the Creation consider the fact that a man is physically more powerful than a woman conclusive evidence that the purpose of nature was to hold women in subjection to men; while too many of those who accepted the story of the Beginning, as written by Moses, interpreted the words "helpmeet" to mean slave, or, at best, servant. That word "obey," for so many centuries a part of marriage ceremonies, and deeply imbedded even in church laws for marriage, is solennl evidence that man mixed his selfishness with his religion just as he did with his civil laws. He was not generous enough to permit even the wife of his bosom to own any thing in her own independent right. What was hers was just naturally his, because she herself was his. With the growth of moral and intellectual enlightenment in the breasts of men he permitted, in some strange burst of sentiment, a vow to enter the marriage pledge, that the wife was endowed with all the earthly goods of her husband. It sounded generous to the last degree, and the youthful bridegrooms took it cheerfully, usually having few earthly goods when married, and later, when affluence came, regarding the vow as applicable only to the property they happened to possess at the time of marriage. For a long, long time the laws made by men gave women no property, rights whatever. They were merely servants in the house, complete subjection to the whimsy husbands. But men grew bitten women began to acquire property rights, and later even rights. She won them twice a thousand times before stubbornness of men yielded partially to her just demands; at last, in this country, she given many political rights, looking about in the maze for injustices to knock in the She finds them everywhere.

PARAGRAPHS (3y Robert Quillen) Success is just a matter of sound sense, common decency and advertising space. Faith may remove mountains, but it won't remove the wood alcohol in bootleg hootch. The real doughboys of the war were those who had something to sell their country. Game laws limit the number you can kill. Game hogs of yester year did their part; also. Have no dread of the hereafter. Many a rabbit becomes part of a sealskin coat after death. A conscience can't handle the job, however, unless it has the hearty cooperation of the neighbors. The hiss of the snake didn't worry pioneers any more than the hiss of escaping air worries moderns.
