THE COUNTY COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Europe is not oversupplied with peacemakers. Many a boy goes wrong because he is not properly indoctrinated with moral principles at home and at school. Europe should be echoing to the trend of happy, contented, industrious millions going daily to the works of peace, instead of being, as it is, all panoplied for war. Let the older nations of Europe look to North America for examples in maintaining peace. The republics of the western world are all in tranquil state, and no wars are impending. Advocates of splendid isolation are reminded that the banker is attending to his own business when he looks after the property he has a mortgage on. There will be no great industrial wars in the United States this year, from present indications. Strikes of coal miners and railway workers will not occur again this year, it seems. This tranquility, if maintained, should contribute greatly toward making this one of the most prosperous years in the country’s history. Without regard to political affiliations, citizens of California will do well to encourage Governor Richardson in his avowed determination to give the state an economical administration without crippling any worthy department, cause or activity of the state government. Regular airship service to the region of the North Pole will be instituted within ten years, in the opinion of V. Stefansson, the Arctic explorer. This is an interesting prospect. This predicted flight-starting point in the far North is in the region where it makes a good deal of difference who gets up first in winter to build morn- IMPROVED DIPLOMACY IS MR. HUGHES’ AIM Reorganization of the diplomatic and consular activities of the United States into one harmonious, co-ordinated, interchangeable service is the aim of Secretary of State Hughes. Increase in salaries and extra allowances for diplomatic and consular representatives of this nation abroad are urged, so that men of moderate means, but of special talent for this work, can afford to enter the diplomatic or consular service. It is regrettable indeed that persons entering this important field of service for the United States must be of such financial standing as to be able to provide, from their own private fortunes, for the support of their positions abroad. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, in a report on this subject, made this comment: It is notorious that the United States has never paid its ambassadors and ministers at the large capitals salaries on which it was possible for them to live. The failure to make reasonable allowances for entertainment leaves a choice of two evils; the sacrifice of the public interest or the restriction of appointment to men of wealth willing to provide from their own fortunes for the support of their positions. This status is deplorable and surely should be remedied by appropriate legislation by congress. WHY NOT START AT HOME? A number of people in the south end of Orange-co are much interested in the reapportionment proposition before the California legislature which is all very well and good. But who not have a little reapportionment here at home? The third supervisorial district which includes what is popularly known as No. Orange-co pays more than half the taxes of the county and contains about half the voters. Yet, when there is any question as to whether it shall be paid No. well to encourage Governor Richardson in his avowed determination to give the state an economical administration without crippling any worthy department, cause or activity of the state government. Regular airship service to the region of the North Pole will be instituted within ten years, in the opinion of V. Stefansson, the Artie explorer. This is an interesting prospect. This predicted flight-starting point in the far North is in the region where it makes a good deal of difference who gets up first in winter to build morning fires—a task that is anything but popular up there. Surely militarism has cursed Europe enough. Surely there should be sufficient moral, humane sammina over there to stay the martial spirit. The horrors of the World War should suffice to hold in check any recrudecence of militaristic madness. The Panama Canal is succeeding splendidly, as to volume of tonnage handled and income. Commerce through the canal is increasing steadily, and will continue to gain as the great maritime nations put aside warfare and betake themselves to the arts of peace. Why are not more of California's murderers convicted and punished as they should be? The people should ask this, and keep on asking, until they are satisfied as to where the fault lies. Then they should demand remedy. Life is held in too low esteem by too many murderous creatures in this commonwealth. WHY NOT START AT HOME? A number of people in the south end of Orange-co are much interested in the reapportionment proposition before the California legislature which is all very well and good. But who not have a little reapportionment here at home? The third supervisorial district which includes what is popularly known as No. Orange-co pays more than half the taxes of the county and contains about half the voters. Yet, when there is any question as to how the tax money shall be paid No. Orange-co has but one vote on the board of supervisors to four for the remainder of the county. And while we are on the subject, why do courthouse officials think it a sacrilege to spend the county's money in the northend of the county? The fair grounds and detention home propositions are only two recent cases in point. As long as supervisors are voting to spend hundreds of thousands for halls of records, harbor improvements, county park improvements and the like, all very well and good, but suggest that a few dollars be spent in No. Orange-co and a whole choral society raises its hands in holy horror. They who have been away from California for several months or a year are astonished, upon returning, at the progress which has been made in developing this state. California is growing so steadily and withal so quietly that those who remain at home do not realize fully what remarkable advancement has been made.

DEALER Except Sunday HESTER, Editor EDITORIAL COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING INTOLERANCE The San Francisco Recorder That form of intolerance that finds expression in such manifestations as known Nothingism and A. P. Aisma has shown its heao in Oregon; where the people have just adopted an initiative measure for bidding the sending of children to any but the public schools. There is no form of bigotry so tolerant as that relating to religion. It is even worse than racial hatreds in its effect upon those who foster it. There is and can be no defense or excuse for it, particularly in this country, where the separation of church and state is complete and every cult, sect and religion is privileged to worship according to its own peculiar beliefs, so long as those beliefs do not transgress the accepted moral law. To attack, under the guise of a public education measure, any religious system and prohibit that religious system from educating its children according to its own methods and in its own schools is an evidence of small-mindedness and bigotry that has no place in the United States at this or any other time. The Oregon law is evidently an effort to close the parochial schools of the Roman Catholic church; but it goes a great deal further than that, in that it prohibits all private schools, whether maintained by religious organization or operated as private enterprises. This law should be repugnant to every right-thinking person, for it is an infringement upon personal liberty; but we are becoming used to such infringements. A citizen has a right to educate his child in what- Mrs. Tilford Moots' niece, who killed her husband with a brace an' bit, got two years, with th' privilege o' fourteen.

Some women always have something to talk about, and some never have any aches or pains. The unkindest cut of all is the one the surgeon makes to get at an offensive appendix. Let's see; what color of note paper is the League supposed to use in case of an invasion? It will be hard to convince the rising generation that "ruthless militarism" isn't all one word. The robber barons of old merely took it; they didn't put folks to the trouble of filling out tax blanks. The glory of romance grows a little dim when first she lies awake and listens to him snore. Some good people patiently deny themselves here in the hope that they will have a high old time in Heaven. The world may not be better, but fewer great men feel constrained to use a signature nobody can decipher. The thing that keeps an old Bachelor single is the conviction that all women are like those he knows. You can't hope for much in the way of prison reform until we get to sending a better class of folks there. Our admiration for "Strongheart", the movie dog, grows and grows as day follows day without a scandal about him. The troublesome part of teaching the children good manners is that you feel under obligation to set them an example. If you can't travel, you can get Pullman luxury at home. Just crawl up on a closet shelf and stick a cinder in your eye. Don't be too conceited about it. Not every man who will give you a glowing recommendation will endorse a note for you. The difference between peace and war is that in time of war you hate the enemy and in tim of peace you hate your friends. The trouble seems to be that too many people think the law should be enforced, and not enough think it should be observed.

This law should be repugnant to every right-thinking person, for it is an infringement upon personal liberty; but we are becoming used to such infringements. A citizen has a right to educate his child in what maintenance from the proceeds of private benefactions and operated under private auspices for the education and training of such as desire and can pay for special training. Or, further, shall the State be pitted to doilare that such school and the schools supported and trained by the State shall be permitted to operate and those sustained paid for by citizens of the Romantic faith shall be closed on our ground that they are subversive good order? NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—It is sometimes a difficult and dangerous thing to urge recititude upon others unless one is entirely accustomed to practising it oneself. The situation of a group of dignitaries who escorted a prominent man to one of our city reformatories the other day is an example of the danger. The prominent man had completed an address to the assembled inmates—girls and women who were being turned from the drug habit and alcohol habit—and one of the minor dignitaries made a little finishing speech. It was a good finish—in which the girls were urged once more never again to let drugs or alcohol have a chance, to get the first step toward having a hold on them again—until the speaker started to gather up his coat to depart. Then there was a drop and a crash of glass, and from the bottled, slipped from his pocket came the smell of that same alcohol! The girls started to laugh; they couldn't help it; and their giggles followed the hastily departing visitors far down the corridor. New York has had a galaxy of famous European musicians that past two years, and now its music students are to have the greatest piano teacher of the continent for ten weeks to help them become famous themselves. Carl Friedrich is landing in New York this month to give a course at the Institute Musical Art, in which he will teach and listen to and criticize the work of advanced students. Those heard him when he made a tour of the country in 1914 will greet that he will not give any public concerts during his visit this year but ambitions pianists rejoice in being all of his time for themselves. Knucklers have become such practicable as well as popular juncture to woman's costume, that she is giving to give them all of their wearen employees for wear while they are at work. Something of a "lady's agreement has been formed among New York debutantes which is going to help their young men up to the age Some men don't care to dance it seems that without exception like to spend some week-end country and seaside house party So the debs have worked out a—and they stick to it—by which those youths who have been punished in dancing during the winter shall be invited to loaf at the Soampton and Newport homes during the summer. Occasionally some really years for the presence of particular non-dancing man, but holds true to her unwritten pledge her feminine friends and refuses invite him. "Hail and Farewell," a new William Hurlbut will open Morosco theater later this month with Florence Reed, in the role. That means that it must play with plenty of emotion! In spite of all of the changes the staus of woman and the la is still impossible for her to her husband's constitutional rie So declared Judge Rosalsky ther day in ordering the jury to a Charles Gysin, charged with Pullman luxury at home.

What some people think a spiritual blessing is just a delightful consciousness of being more righteous than the neighbors.
