THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER an Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor The American jury system, as it stands is amenable defective. Europe should be the last place in the world to lead the dove of peace to slaughter. English, in its purity, is a beautiful language, full of grace and mellifluousness. The newspaper is a potent educational influence, among adults as well as among children. The law of tooth and fang should not be invoked by capital and labor, in dealing with each other. There is so much strong proof of prosperity that its existence is proved "beyond reasonable doubt." Ambassador George Harvey evidently does not regard discretion as the better part of diplomacy. Some state and national legislators seem to interpret retrenchment as meaning bigger outlay than ever. Some persons seem to want the Lord's prayer to run this way: "Lead us into temptation and deliver us into evil." California grows and thrives, year in and year out, and the waves of economic depression which sweep across the country periodically touch this state highly. The people should not be made to suffer because of bitter strife and warfare between capital and labor. There is no industrial dispute that cannot be settled without resort to strike or lockout. Europe should sicer as far away from warfare as possible. Its appalling experiences during the last ten years should impel that quarter MERIT SYSTEM IN WORK OF GOVERNMENT It would be unfortunate indeed if what has been accomplished in the Federal service toward establishing the merit system should be overthrown by overzealous partisanship on the part of heads of departments. The tendency should be away from the spoils notion. Appointments should not be made as a reward for partisan political service. Nor should remedials be made for political reasons. In this period of stupendous necessary governmental outlays the affairs of government should be handled with scrupulous business-like care. To this end, men of sound judgment and proven capability should be in governmental service. The government should have the benefit of inherortorious work from persons thoroughly competent. The merit system in all government departments should be maintained and strengthened. DEVELOPMENT OF ARID LANDS PROCEEDS Development of arid lands in California and other states of the West and Southwest is proceeding. The desert areas rapidly are being converted in to fruitful fields and orchards. When the story of this evolution of the desert shall have been written, it will be of fascinating interest. There will be a time when this whole imperial region will be immensely productive, sustaining a prosperous population of many millions. In contemplating the future of this section, this realization that tremendous development is in prospect should enhearten all, and sustain optimism as to the future of California and the Southwest. Soil yields in this section run into the hundreds of millions annually. The sum total will increase, as reclamation conquers the desert and as integrated agriculture. The people should not be made to suffer because of bitter strife and warfare between capital and labor. There is no industrial dispute that cannot be settled without resort to strike or lockout. Europe should steer as far away from warfare as possible. Its appalling experiences during the last ten years should impel that quarter of the world to stand staunchly for universal and perpetual peace. The schools of this land and of other lands should be nurseries of peace. Children everywhere should be impressed with the benefits and benefices of peace and the horrors and abominations of warfare. Adversity tests men and women. And yet many who can withstand adversity with fortitude and wisdom, can not stand prosperity. Their heads are turned and they fall into grievous follies when come into affluence. It requires moral courage and tenacity of purpose to lead the simple life in this age of complexities and strenuousness. There are many distractions—many temptations to leave the paths of simplicity in living. Read about, think about, talk about and praise the good in men and women. Lobk for virtues, instead of vices. Be a seeker after the flowers of good, rather than a muckraker looking only for the mean and sordid. It is awe-inspiring to learn of the stupendous conflagration raging in a star of the distant heavens. It is awesome, too, to contemplate the mind of man which makes possible this staggeringly wide range of knowledge of the universe. Surely, such amazing mental enhancements in man were not born to die. The sublime powers and functionings of the human mind were not created to flourish awhile here on earth and then to pass into death and annihilation. SAVING AT SACRAMENTO SORELY NEEDED Reports from Sacramento indicate that the state treasury faces a deficit of $1,000,000 at the end of this biennium. This stresses an urgent need of rigid retrenchment in the conduct of governmental business in this state. The people should busy themselves in influencing their representatives in the Legislature to exercise prudence in making appropriations. The Legislature should uphold the hands of Governor Richardson. Even tho there may be some apparent inequalities in distribution of funds under the state budget, some sacrifices should be made for the principle of retirement and for the general good of the state. The only way to retrench in to cut down expenditures. And these cuts must fall somewhere, on some departments of the state government. The bones of even an ancient king should not be dragged about in desecrative fashion. Let the Pharohs rest in peace, after making wax impressions of their mummies. The United States cannot fulfill its manifest obligations as a world power by maintaining an extreme isolational attitude. It must assume some responsibility and exert some direct influence in world affairs, or else default in its obligations. But this does not mean indiscreet meddling in the purely domestic affairs of other countries, or becoming embroiled in their difficulties and quarrels.

Attracting the most attention are the strange little figures, known as "Ushabi," described as being found in the tombs of long-dead Egyptian kings. For the most part they are made of baked, glazed clay, called faleness, and they are uniformly about six inches high. They are the most striking symbols of the ancient Egyptians faith. With their folded arms, they stood guard and waited at the tombs, to keep an ever watchful eye on their mummified masters, that they might spring to their appointed tasks of carrying them to the gods whenever the gods might call upon them. Poke bonnets, or first cousins to them, are among the newcomers which tell us once more with finality that the short-skirted, flapper-frocked girl has vanished in toto from our horizon. No one could even be flippant in these new pokes without feeling imprinent to them. I am not sure but what smelling salts will be revived to match them, And bobbled hair—impossible! The hair dressing specialists, fortunately, have kept up with the milliners and can sweep back 6 years as casually as they, when required. Mr. Nestle, dean of the permanent wave, showed me the other day how this "first aid to the only-fairly-good-looking" has responded to the demand for demur­ness and quaintness.

Not Mentioning Any Names? Another newspaper located no many miles from Coalport, has in the habit of running a half-millon of Coalport items. However, items are always a week late and looks as the The Standard, which furnishing the office an excha­nishes the notes—Coalport (Standard). The Democrats, looking for vicit­in in 1924, make a plea for money harmonily. If they ever get the mo­there'll be no harmony. An 8-year term for president advocated. That's all right, think of putting up with one w president for that long. The 67th congress has come to end. Congress is glad. And it makes THAT unanimous. This means there will be no soldier bonus bills vetied for a or so at least. Also that the capitol bootleg may have to go to work. Practice doesnt' always make perfect. Lots of folks have been piti­ting sleeping for years, and it hard to do now. Lawyer—Now what time wa PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Apparently he isn't a diplomat if he stirs up more trouble than he can avert. Posterity will judge our culture by our statues, and not, fortunately, by our statutes. You can judge a man by the amount of plenty required to make him conceived about it. There's one nice thing about European nations. They usually take turns getting revenge. No double a lot of preachers with empty pews wish somebody would accuse them of heresy. A rigid diet always makes you feel better, even if it doesn't reduce anything except the grocery bill. The modern automobile can go anywhere except over what the countryman describes as a "pretty fair old." Well, perhaps the strain of being a movie star necessitates hope. Getting married is always an ordeal. The two influences that persuade man to keep his word are a high sense of honor and a dotted line. And now we know why Caesar spent all that time in the north of Europe. He was collecting the indemnity. Selling eggs is a simple matter. It isn't necessary to use a tissue paper wrapper to hide the rotten ones. Few newspapers are large enough to print all the press-agent matter of those haughty persons who scorn publicity. The fine thing about multiplication of popular songs is that nobody can remember any particular one to whistle. With all these tassels and things hanging down, nobody will know it if the petitions does show. Correct this sentence: "I help him a little," confessed the mother, "but I never really work his problems for him." As we understand it, Muscle Shoals is a white elephant that can be used to nip Ford's Presidential aspirations in the bud. The teams are ready to train, and even be flippant in these new pokes without feeling imprintment to them. I am not sure but what smelling salts will be revived to match them. And bobbed hair—impossible! The hair dressing specialists, fortunately, have kept up with the milliners and can sweep back 6 years as casually as they, when required. Mr. Nestle, dean of the permanent wave, showed me the other day how this "first aid to the only-fairly-good-looking" has responded to the demand for demurence and quaintness. It is as much of a wave as ever and even more permanent with the improved methods and with all the old danger of injury to the hair taken out, but it is no longer the formal, rather artificial looking wave of two years ago. Soft as the ribbon on the poke bonnet, itself, and as natural-looking as Priscilla herself, the wave of this spring is one more accessory in the general perfection of the return of the old-fashioned girl, and much more attractive in her return than in her original state. I would say, after looking at the colfures of this spring and of 1890. I know at least one man who will never again reach the heights of chivalry defined by giving a woman his seat in the crowded sudway hour. He was particularly worn out the other night as he left down town for the long ride to Washington Heights. Nevertheless, he rose and offered his seat to a woman standing in front of him. She smiled and thanked him prettily, and turned to her male companion. "Sit down, Jim," she said. "You're tired and I am not at all." And Jim took the seat. I saw Rachel Crother's "Mary 3rd" again—the other night and was impressed anew with the fact that she has treated the subject of marriage through three generations entirely without preachment, and that is one reason why it is as entertaining as it is inclusive. A choice group of actors are assembled in the production. I have seen no old lady on the stage, Loise Closser, Hale or Helen Westley, not excepted, who gives as true a picture as May Galyer in the part of the grandmother. Morgan Farley, of "Debureau" fame, makes a better boy than most any of the juveniles who now beset us. With him is Ben Lyon, also good, and both of the Stuart Walker school of juveniles. A niece of Ellen Terry. Beatrice adds distinction of her name in a very sincere portrayal of the mother. Mary 3rd is in the capable hands of Louise Huff, already known to the world. When people scorn our business men for their short hours here in New York, let them pause and think of the commuter. One Lewis Elbert, of our suburb, Beacon, has counted up that in his 25 years of commuting he has traveled 975,000 miles. Between his home and his office way down town, the distance is 65 miles. He spends five hours a day riding on New York Central trains, subways and street makes THAT unanimous. This means there will be no soldier bonus bills vetoed for a year or so at least. Also that the capitol bootleg may have to go to work. Practice doesn't always make perfect. Lots of folks have been tiring sleeping for years, and it hard to do now. Lawyer—Now, what time was when you were attacked? Complainant—I don't know. Your client—he took my watch. Germany Germany's crop of broad gravel last year was 46 per cent less than in 1913, reports our department agriculture. This shortage, along with a decrease in meat animals, as important as any news out Germany. The European situation will regulated to considerable extent whether the Germans are well fed undernourished. The stomach more important to the Germans than races. Keep in mind that he ger has been the greatest force shaping history. After a man gets down to brake tacks, he finds they are gold. DIDN'T WANT HER TO GET HURT Mrs. Jeems—Yes, it hurts me tie to have the tooth drawn. I dentist wanted to give me gas. I my old man wouldn't allow it. Yee see he was gassed himself when France. A lot of men who thought New York was a good place to make money were caught trying to pass statistics prove you can't always prove a thing by statistics. Other power interests seem terminated to keep Henry Ford frosting his money at Muscle Shoals. Many campaign lies are shouted but few are called. A clear conscience is a clear tip to peace and contentment. With all these tassels and things hanging down, nobody will know it if the petticoat does show. Correct this sentence: "I help him a little," confessed the mother, "but I never really work his problems for him." As we understand it, Muscle Shoals is a white elephant that can be used to nip Ford's Presidential aspirations in the bud. The teams are ready to train, and no doubt Judge Landis is writing practice orders and getting ready to suspend Babe Ruth. At any rate, paragraphers escape the embarrassment of standing before an investigating committee and confessing the size of their salaries. Why can't I get that Station?

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING GIRLS PLAYING MARBLES (Indianaapolis Star) On the heels of the announcement by a wealthy Chicago woman, who is lecturing on sociological psychology, that women have emerged from their serfdom and are now victors, merely demanding the right to be let alone, to develop, to demonstrate and to expand, comes in a news item from Boston an alarming proof of this demand for expansion. Woman's invasion of man's sphere has extended to girls on the playground. The boys of Greater Boston are making a sport hitherto almost exclusively their own—marbles. On-the-sidewalks of suburbs since signs of spring appeared, passersby, forced to detour. WISE AND WITTY: There is a loophole to everything — with shrewdness we may slip thru. The new generation grows up with old ideas faster developed. A man shy on vocabulary uses cuss words profusely. There is more joy in rags than to be hurled in silks. There is no way of measuring happiness although there are many ways of gaining it. Success will smile on those who smile sincerely on those who succeed. Opportunity is continuous — man does the knocking. A second story man starts to climb from the bottom and reaches a doubtful goal.
