DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS No man knows what a day may bring forth in the way of opportunity, nor at what point the door may be thrown open, which shall be the entrance into his great chance for life. —Christian Union. Go to the unadvertised locality for quietude. Los Angeles is specializing in mysterious murders. The American "Watch on the Rhine" has run down. Fight crime with rigorous laws, and jails, and hangman's noose. The merit system in the public service should stand on its merits. The World War surely should have slaked Europe's thirst for blood. The political spoils system should be torn out of government, root and branch. Yes, there is a Santa Claus. And he will work just as hard this year as he did last year. The autolist who speeds recklessly has found the sure way to divorce himself from life. The Sixty-seventh congress performed a useful service when it adjourned sine die. Streets and alleys too often are graduation grounds for vice and crime among the young. There is no substitute "Just as good" as plain, unadulterated honesty in all dealings between man and man. When one gets so old as to forget how to play with and sympathetically understand children, one is old indeed. MR. HARDING TWO YEARS IN WHITE HOUSE The vigorous movement initiated in Los Angeles County for the suppression of crime is being endorsed quite generally and generously throughout the state. Civic organizations and official boards of municipalities and counties are joining in urging the Legislature to make the changes in criminal procedure which have been recommended so strongly from this county. All over the state the need of reforms is felt. The present Jury system, with its requirement of an unanimous verdict, is recognized as being flagrantly weak and ineffective in administering Justice in criminal causes. The many mistrials attest this. This three-fourths verdict in all cases except those in which capital punishment is involved, appeals to reason. Whatever changes are manifestly needed to expedite the course of justice and to prevent criminal escaping the penalties which they so richly deserve, should be made by the Legislature without delay. This county, in particular, should be fortified in its struggle against criminality. WAR UPON CRIME IS VIGOROUS Warren G. Harding has been President of the United States for two years. At the half-way house in his administration the present chief magistrate is not altogether happy, officially speaking. Several of the measures—notably the shipping bill—to which he committed his administration have been treated ruthlessly congress. Life has not been the same to Mr. Harding as President as is was to Mr. Harding as United States Senator. Mr. Harding deplores the mounting duties and responsibilities of the Presidency. He expresses regret that he has not found opportunity to give personal attention to many of the administrative details which Streets and alleys too often are graduation grounds for vice and crime among the young. There is no substitute "just as good" as plain, unadulterated honesty in all dealings between man and man. When one gets so old as to forget how to play with and sympathetically understand children, one is old indeed. The Sixty-seventh congress is adjourning finally—which is about the best word that has come in regard to this congress. The fish will dodge President Harding's hook, just the same as the hooks of others. There is no royal favor in hooking a fish. California should post the "Positively No Admittance" sign at its borders against desperate criminals from other states. The merit system should not be thrown out of the government service. But pernicious political activities should be hurled out. Should the railways of the country be combined into fewer systems, the rights and interests of shippers and of the public should be safeguarded amply. Mr. Harding deplores the mounting duties and responsibilities of the Presidency. He expresses regret that he has not found opportunity to give personal attention to many of the administrative details which have become a part of the duties of his office. Mr. Harding feels that congress constantly is making the responsibilities of the Presidency so heavy that no one man can hope to keep abreast of them. This is a patent fact in connection with the expanding interests and marvelous growth and development of the United States. It becomes more and more apparent that the Vice-President and members of the cabinet must be charged with greater responsibilities and must lift part of the burden of details from the President. The national budget system simplifies the process of stopping wasteful drains upon the United States Treasury. The system itself does not effect reforms in retrenchment. But it provides the machinery and defines the process. J. R. GARDINER CO. INC. FAGEOL TRACTORS FULL LINE OF IMPLEMENTS Prices—Ilight See Us Before Buying 120 W. Commonwealth Fullerton 238 W.

Apparently the Age of Innocence is a movable epich. Mrs. Wharton placed it in the '70s. Mr. Wall moves it forward twenty years. Was there anything very mellow in New York about the time of Cleveland's second administration? Europe was already calling us Dollarika. Candid visitors from chord were shaking their heads over our "Time is money" and "Hurry up." Except that we now say "Step lively" for "Hurry up," have grown any worse? Not if certain social manifestations and statistics mean anything. Where nobody virtually played golf in Mr. Walls golden age, just before Bryan, perhaps a quarter of a million Americans play the game now with a seat that, according to common report, brooks no laterference from business. Where very few people played tennis 30 years ago, there must be half a million men and women out on the courts eight months in the year. The enormous expansion of club life in town, the entirely new development of the country club, the dilution of the business day by the social idea in the form of luncheon clubs, the shortening of the business day for the business man as well as for the wage carer, the rise of the week end, and, by no means least, the automobile—what does Mr. Wall mean there is nothing but business in New York? Compared with Paris, yes; but compared with the New York of McKinMany a man thinks he is hard boiled, when he is only half soaked. We wish those income blanks could stay blank. They have old-fashioned women in Prescott, Ariz., anyway. One store three horses the other day. They are bootlegging tobacco in Salt Lake City and you can imagine what terrible stuff it must be. Life is just one-lamed thing after another. Just as congress adjourns the peeky legislature meets again. SELFISH. American government and America can private individuals have control but 850 million dollars to European relief since the last shot of the World War was fired. So announced James W. Rosenberg, official of one of the relief organizations. And still Europe thinks we're selfish because we do not cancel whil she owes us. Charity bears cancer lation for both sides. One thin about charity, it doesn't release funds for European arming-to-the-teeth. "British Dumb When Harve Talks Debts." Headline. So are all our creditors when we talk the same. A St. Paul firm is offering church members free fans for the hot summer months. Doe Grant's congregation might need 'em, too. King Tut overlooked just on thing. He should have written dairy and had it buried with him. Even though there are countriefarther away, the appointment of Miles Poindexter as minister to Peru. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Freedom is merely the privilege of affixing your own chains. A hick town is a place where every body wonders why you are dressed up on Thursday. Another good way to avoid paying income tax is to endorse notes for all of your friends. A poor loafer is good for nothing. A rich loafer is good for 60 inches in the rotogravure section. The world isn't growing better. It just seems that way because you see fewer quill toothpicks. Adam loved Eve at sight, but think how he must have adored her when she made the first lemon pie. Another objection to postoffice service is that the ink provided at the public desk clogs up your fountain pen. A landsman is known by the company he keeps; but a good sailor is known by the victuals he keeps. There are two classes of people: intellectuals and morons. The classifying is done by the intellectuals. The thirsty brother has little choice. Going to Congress will cost him just as much, as going to Europe. At times a husband pouts because he is offended; but usually he is bluffing in the hope of being petted. The office cynic sees the bright side. He says there won't be so much national honor to defend hereafter. A wife is a person who thinks she wouldn't be a bit nervous if you were not there to criticise her driving. Scientists are in quest of heat without light, but the housewife is more interested in a cigar that will make smoke without ashes. Love of money is the root of all evil, but there is no virtue in being broke every time the collector calls. Well, why shouldn't America be keen about the rights of minorities? The Indians are pretty well cleared out now. Million men and women out on the courts eight months in the year. The enormous expansion of club life in town, the entirely new development of the country club, the dilution of the business day by the social idea in the form of luncheon clubs, the shortening of the business day for the business man as well as for the wage earner, the rise of the week end, and, by no means least, the automobile—what does Mr. Wall mean there is nothing but business in New York? Compared with Paris, yes; but compared with the New York of McKinley tariff days. Perhaps Mr. Wall means that even to our notable increase in leisure we have applied the business touch. We step lively in pursuit of relaxation. When we rest hard and by schedule, we loaf constructively. That will explain the apparent inconsistency in Mr. Wall's complaint about the disappearance of the formal dress of his own Age of Innocence. Whore are the silk hat, the correct afternoon coat, the ceremonial starched shirt and cravat and choker? Gone. But if so, that ought to argue a simpler, happier, more human, felucrely state of manners. To which Mr. Wall might reply by pointing out the febrile intensity with which we have gone in for the relaxation of the lounging suit and the soft collar. Never was a nation so desperately determined to ice kool in trim flannels as our young men are in the advertisements. Very little internal joy irradiates the feature of the young men in the Chicago-Rochester clothes catalogues—the young men with the three-button sack, the air of distinction, and the business-looking bull pup at heel. WISE AND WITTY To climb the ladder of success is everybody's privilege which no one can revoke. Any subject upon which a man speaks, is subject for discussion. Habitual sleepiness creates the germs of laziness. Less pleasures today bring more comforts tomorrow. A man should have patience with a child, as his childish ways need patient indulgence. American aviators will pilot planes of the Mexican government's new air transportation lines. Six hundred serial photographs were taken to make a map of Kansas City, Kansas.

Dop Grant's congregation might need 'em, too. King Tut overlooked just once thing. He should have written a dairy and had it buried with him. Even though there are countries farther away, the appointment of Miles Polindexer as minister to Peru is generally satisfactory. "It is better to laugh than cry." Not when I am trying to persuade hubby to buy me a new gown." It is better to retrace one's steps that fall head-first backward. It is better to be anchored to your duties than to sail about aimlessly. Fads grow more foolish from one day to the next and die before maturity. "THE GRAY DAWN" AT UNITED THEATRE A famous author and a noted producer combined to produce "The Gray Dawn," coming tomorrow to the United Theatre, namely, Stewart Edward White and Benjamin B. Hampton. "The Gray Dawn" equals "The Westerners" in its rich Western setting and surpasses "The Killer" in its virile drama and stirring action. Both of these successes represented the combined genius of author and producer. From the opening scene to the final "fade-cut." "The Gray Dawn" is replete with the realism, the true-to-life characters and the entertaining touches which are no characteristic of a Benjamin B. Hampton production. The story, which bears the strong dramatic imprint of its author's widely recognized ability as a narrator, depicts San Francisco's picturesque period of 1856 directly after the gold rush—a period in which the Then the Vigilantes is formed to combat the lawless faction. Into the plot is woven a beautiful romance, the lovers being enacted by "the screen's sweetest sweethearts"—Carl Gantyoort and Clair Adams city was in the grip of a lawless element. Scientists are in quest of heat without light, but the housewife is more interested in a cigar that will make smoke without ashes.

When you pray, supplicate high Heaven to incline the minds and hearts of legislators at Sacramento toward rigorous retrenchment in state expenditures. There is crying need of heroic economics in state government. Congress seems disposed to let American shipping drift onto the financial rocks. It is a sorry spectacle, and not to the credit of Congress. Something constructive should be done—if not President Harding's way, then some other way.
