DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS The highest Son of God, the best beloved of Heaven that ever stood upon earth, was "made perfect" through suffering," and sweeter shall be the cup of immortal joy, for that it once was dashed with bitter drops of pain and sorrow; and brighter shall roll the verlasting ages, for the dark shadows that clouded the birthtime of our being. Orville Dewey. Governor Richardson's budget looks business-like. There is scenery in California to suit every taste. Worry entails waste of an enormous amount of energy. Do not bury good impulses under mountains of selfishness. After rainstorms, Mother Nature wears a green, sweet face. Put good business management into government and keep it there. The best that is in a man is shown in his attitude toward children. A reduced state budget looks encouraging to California taxpayers. Some person's words are honeycomb, but their actions are vinegar. Los Angeles is tired of being the gathering place of desperate criminals. The criminal element should be made to fear to operate in California. Some Americans need to Americanize their Americanism, to make it more intense. PUT YOURSELF IN POSITION TO SEE THE GOLD WAS DISCOVERED 75 YEARS AGO The seventy-fifth anniversary of the discovery of gold in California is at hand. What marvous events since James W. Marshall's fateful find! California has added enormous sums to the wealth of the world since that epochal day in this region's development. The influence of California gold production upon the financial and economical status of the United States and foreign nations cannot be measured. This El Dorado brought into circulation huge sums of the precious metal. The world's available monetary supply has been augmented hugely by the steady output of California's gold mines, besides the mines have made to the arts and crafts. California's gold deposits are not exhausted, by any means. Gold production here leads all the states. It runs into the millions annually. Gold mining is an industry of importance, well worth encouraging and promoting in every way possible. It is a great asset to the state. Discovery of gold hastened the settlement and development of California along modern lines. It has been a romantic period, with historic episodes such as no other region on earth ever experienced. GRIM WAR IS IMPENDING IN EUROPE The miraculous may transpire and peace be maintained in Europe. But from present inflamed conditions, there must be a miracle to avert a reign of bloodshed from the Baltic to Asia Minor. With grim perversity events are tending more and more towards open warfare. The United States, so far, has maintained the friendly, peace-promoting attitude that war should not be "over there." But, so far as peaks on the surface, this government has taken no positive, advanced step to try to turn aside the flood... Some person's words are honeycomb, but their actions are vinegar. Los Angeles is tired of being the gathering place of desperate criminals. The criminal element should be made to fear to operate in California. Some Americans need to Americanize their Americanism, to make it more intense. Put yourself in position to see a home-owner every time you look into a mirror. Every criminal in California should be put out of the state or into the penitentiary. Every taxpayer is made painfully aware of the high cost of participating in the world wars. There is a great deal of petty politicisms at Washington where there should be great statesmanship. Funding the British war debt to the United States should stabilize and strengthen the international financial situation. California is building in immense volume. And this is not fictitious boom building. It is construction that is needed. The miraculous may transpire and peace be maintained in Europe. But from present inflamed conditions, there must be a miracle to avert a reign of bloodshed from the Baltic to Asia Minor. With grim perseverity events are tending more and more towards open warfare. The United States, so far, has maintained the friendly, peace-promoting attitude that war should not be "over there." But, so far as appears on the surface, this government has taken no positive, advanced step to try to turn aside the flood of blood. In truth, it perplexes the brightest brains at Washington to conceive of or to devise any practical acceptable ways and means of interposing in Europe at present. Any proffer of the good offices of this country now perhaps would be rejected. And further than proposing to help as a friend to all Europe it is difficult to find a formula that the United States safely and profitably could follow with good effects for Europe and with safety to itself, without becoming enmeshed in the domestic politics of Europe—which this country never should do. Education is the birthright of every American child. When California is studded with flood-control systems—as it will be some time—destructive overflows, caused by heavy rains or melting snows, will be at an end. Do You Know —that your local Southern Pacific agent can arrange every detail of a local or transcontinental journey, secure your Pullman accommodations, check your baggage from here to destina... and otherwise help you in your transportation problems, both passenger and freight? —why not do your business here in Anaheim?

Please note, the tax bill has more than tripled since 1912. Many public men are keenly alive to the serious situation arising from this and have dealt with it in recent addresses. Senator Borah says: "It will be very difficult to reduce freight rates, if we contend this country to increase taxes upon railroads as we have for four years." The magnitude of the bill suggests one reason why new stations, locomotive railroad lines are possible only in a limited way, and why passenger fares and much higher than 10 years ago. The tax bill comes ahead of everything. W. B.

The things to be destroyed were imperialism and militarism. The things to be attained were political power and liberty for the Russian people, bread and work for the Russian people under the Communist system of production, education for the Russian people, and for the working classes outside of Russia a world revolution. Today it is recorded that this program has been rather sharly departed from. The Russian people has no political power, but is ruled admittedly by a minority dictatorship. The Russian people has no liberty, but is restricted to reading of the official Bolshevik newspapers and is permitted to stay away from public assemblies unless they are prepared to vote straight Bolshevik. Bread for the Russian people has to be supplied in part by American charity, and employment for the town workers has to be supplied in part by American capital. The schools and universities are worse off than they were under the Czar. The world revolution has failed to come off. But there is one outstanding achievement that can not be denied to the Soviet experiment. It has built up an army that a good many observers from Russia agree in describing as the finest army in the world. This army is largely officered by former army employees of the Czar and is under the command of Gen. Brusiloff, who was the Czar's most successful general in the war. The only pity is that the Soviet government has succeeded in winning over or at least in utilizing the new ideas from that important source.

It is be built by Morris Gest and will specialize in developing the talent Americans. The fact that Otto Kahn made announcement of the plans probably means that the new theater is certain of financial backing, whether it is a commercial success or not. The theater will produce plays irrespective of their payin possibilities, so long as they have merit. Music will be even more of consideration than drama, and ever effort will be made to give America composers a chance.

Still, if there were no small towns, what would large towns feel superior to? Progressive: One who years for the cinch now enjoyed by the conservative. Never condemn too quickly. The end-seat hag may be too tender-hearted to walk on people's feet. As we understand it, the new statesmanship consists in the knowledge that minorities are portable. If you are a pedestrian, a good thing to take for that run-down condition is a little precaution. A prominent divine says nearly all bald men are good men. They'll feel at home in the land where there's no parting. At twenty he thinks he can save the world; at thirty he begins to wish he could save part of his salary. A college education has its good points, but too close application to books may injure one's batting dye. The hopeless old maid has one consolation. She need not deny herself when she feels an urge to eat onions. Some attain immortality by hitching their wagons to a star, and some by filling their jitneys with moonshine. And yet very few statues are erected to the memory of men who spent their lives attending to their own business. Chivalry is not dead. Almost any European Power is willing to sacrifice itself in order to hurt the other fellow. A hick town is a place where everybody knows the fellow in the well-pressed suit is a stranger. Modern juries seem to function in accordance with the theory that only those without blemish should cast the first stone. You can no longer put a man in jail because he owes money.

So when Sam Rathet died the other day, it was a grief for a great big family, including a thousand or so. Altho only 17 years old, he was the hero and idol of the quarter, partly because he was a champion athlete, partly because he was just himself. And so his club has swung from the sky-blue facade of a Russian cafe across the street to a grimy red-brick tenement house a large, plain white banner, bearing this simple legend: "We mourn the loss of our Beloved Friend, Sam Rathet, aged 17 years." The banner will hang there for 30 days. WISE AND WITTY Success depends on relative values given. The name that survives through ages is little thought of while alive.
