DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR HERO KING TO EXILE, IN READERS One single day Is not so much to look upon. There is some way Of passing hours of such a limit. We can face A single day; but place Too many days before sad eyes— Too many days for smothered sighs— And we lose heart... Just at the start.—George Klingle. Do not put the Golden Rule away to become shelf-worn and dusty. Use it. California should conserve its water supply. The billions of gallons of flood waters wasted each year should be impounded and utilized. Blessings on the man or woman who does all possible to make life pleasant and happy for all those who come into contact with him or her. Less politics, more statesmanship; fewer promises of relief for taxpayers; more fulfillments; more sound business in government, less reckless experimenting. Patriotism in a citizen, after all, consists not in the loudness of his shouting on the Fourth of July, but in now decentl and public-spiritedly he lives and acts, day by day. "Meet Them With Flowers." Jupiter Pluvius occasionally meets them with showers at this season, in California. But the showers bring on more blooms with which to "Meet Them With Flowers." If President McCarthy, of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, were subject to fine for contempt for what he has said about Judge Landis, a fine of $29,000,000 would about fit the enormity of the contempt felt. American troops who have been stationed at Coblenz, but who are ordered home will miss the luxuries. Constantine I., of Greece, lived a dramatic life from the time of his accession to the throne of Greece until his death in exile in Sicily. He had the unusual experience of being twice exiled. From his first exile he was recalled by a plebiscite of the people of Greece and re-entered Athens in triumph. But recent reverses suffered by Greek arms led to his downfall. Spurred on by an over-fed ambition, King Constantine undertook to subdue large portions of Turkey. The task was too much for him. The rallied Turks turned about and administered withering defeat to the Greeks. Then came the final sorry turn in the fortunes of King Constantine. He virtually was forced to abdicate and to become an exile. He had heard himself acclaimed "The Liberator" as Crown Prince in the Balkan War of 1812. The decline of his fortunes preyed upon him and no doubt hastened his death. The days of kings' ambitions for conquest are ended. The world is being reconstructed politically. It is turning more and more toward democracy. Absolute monarchs are being deposed. Imperialistic kings are being thwarted and overthrown. A wonderful new era has dawned. With the spread of democracy also is spreading the desire for peace. Secret diplomacy gradually is being relegated. Militarism is in disfavor. The time should be near at hand, when the sovereign people of all the great democracies of the world, should set the seal of their disapproval upon all fomenting of needless wars. AMERICAN TROOPS COME WITH REGRET United States troops on the Rhine received the order to withdraw and come home with unfeigned regret. And the whole population of Cobleaz joins in deploring the withdrawal of the sturdy, dashing Yankee boys. Why don't I ticate the graft be remember blamed sight ten. Home is a fresh napkin on Sundays.

American troops who have been stationed at Coblenz, but who are ordered home, will miss the luxuries they could buy on their small number of American dollars converted into a large number of German marks. Teach the children to abhor crime—above all, to abominate murder. Every child should be bulwarked morally against criminal tendencies. Many a crime today is committed by men who had no moral training in boyhood. France, in invading German territory, may have opened a Pandora's box from which may escape troubles in various forms to plague that country. France eventually will rue the day that it did not listen to the advice of its true and disinterested friend—the United States. Should France invade Germany now and seize territory, it will rue the day that it ever adopted such a course. It is a proceeding that the United States cannot and will not approve; it is a course that has riven the Allied powers asunder. Great Britain will not be party to it. France, should it adopt the course outlined by Premier Poincare, would alienate some of its warmest and most important friends. AMERICAN TROOPS COME WITH REGRET United States troops on the Rhine received the order to withdraw and come home with unfigured regret. And the whole population of Coblenz joins in deploring the withdrawal of the sturdy, dashing Yankee boys. American troops have behaved exemplarily along the Rhine. With characteristic American methods of letting by-gones be by-gones, these wholesome American boys, once the war was over, curled their bitterness toward Germany and Germans and were ready to make friends. Consequently, the presence of American soldiers at Coblenz has been in the nature of a continuous lovefeast. The country thereabouts is pictureless. And the beauty of the "scenery" was enhanced by the presence of bright-faced, comely frauleins. Romance reigned. Many marriages were contracted between American soldier boys and German maidens. There will be many sore hearts among the frauleins when the American boys leave for home. Conduct of American soldiery in Europe, in war and in peace, has been exemplary. Gallant, courageous, dashing, effectual fighters in war, these rugged young Americans, with very few exceptions, have behaved like gentlemen, in peace. Government in this country must not be by "invisible empire," but by men who have no reason to hide their faces or work in the shadows of darkness. J. R. GARDINER CO. INC.

Phone 18 NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Wives are devoted to their husbands, naturally, and are willing to do anything they can to help them along, but after all, a diamond ring is a diamond ring, and one valued at $1000 is not to be treated lightly. Mr. Alan Mason had a hard time the other night getting bail to keep him out of jail, in consequence of this fact. Mr. and Mrs. Mason were dining at one of our most festive restaurants, when a dutiful policeman sniffed the fragrance from a flask. Mason was using to brighten up their dinner. Mrs. Mason accompanied her husband to the police station and gave all the sympathy in the world; but when the hundred dollars in cash he offered as bail proved insufficient, she wasn't able to give anything more than same sympathy. Mr. Mason had a brilliant idea. "My wife's engagement ring!" he哭泣。Taht's worth $1000. I'll give you that as security." "M-m-mi! murmured his wife." "N-o, I don't think I'll let you put that up." The door leading the cells opened ominously. "I'll go out and raise ball," she added. Eventually she found it among some friends, but Mr. Mason had to sit behind the bars while she did it. Ernest Aimless is about as adaptable a person as I know, which is one of the delights of him. We went down to the Wall street district together yesterday to see a man on business. "Can you come back in an hour," he asked. Oh, certainly, we agreed. Now, if there is one place in the world where it is impossible to find a loafing place oven to sit down and rest for ten minutes it is in that district. "We'll get the afternoon papers." Ernest suggested. "and then if we only could find some place to sit down and read them!" "You might go and try on shoes somewhere," I suggested. "You have to sit down while you do that and they'd have to let me sit beside you and read the papers." "Fine," be exclaimed, "and as a matter of fact, I might just as well buy a pair of shoes anyway. I need some". So we bought the shoes, read the papers, and went back at the end of a nice round hour. Is it cruelty to a duck to make him disappear into thin air? An agent for the S. P. C. A. declared it is and arrested a vaudoville magician who disposed of ducks thus summarily in his act. The ducks, contended the agent, must be packed into the man's pocket, and pockets are not properly ventilated to make a duck healthy and happy. The magician proved to the satisfaction of the court, however, that his trick ducks didn't mind it at all—that they quite entered into the spirit of the game just as a fine horse does. The audience present when the arrest was made thought the S. P. C. A. man was a comedian added to the act and applauded him vigorously. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING COMPLACENT PARTIOTS—American Legion Weekly Americans too often dismiss all Europeans as "those ignorant forlorn literates can read and write but have let their education expire with COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING COMPLACENT PARTIOTS—American Legion Weekly Americans too often dismiss all Europeans as "those ignorant foreigners." This is patriotic complacency. Also it is patriotic ignorance. In the most vital of all cultural agencies—the mere teaching of their citizens to read and write—Holland, England, France, Finland, and all the Scandinavian countries excel the United States. The average north European could more aptly speak of America as the home of "those ignorant Yankees." These are hard facts. Six per cent of all Americans are illiterate. Germany, Holland and the Scandinavian countries have only 1 per cent of illiterates or less. In 1910 there were 5,616,163 illiterates in this country. In 1920 the number had been reduced to 4,931,905. At this rate it will take the United States about eight-four years to reach the high educational standards of Germany. The teaching of reading and writing is not all. Millions of Americans who are not classed as illiteracy.
