DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Yes, there may be something of God in our daily life; something of might in this fruit inner man; something of immorality in this momentary and transient being—Orville Dewey. Uncle Sam wisely keeps out of petty squabbling by nations. Some urge governmental retrenchment with their lips, but do not mean it, in their hearts. The farmer has greater facilities not for borrowing money. But the ability to borrow is sometimes anything but a blessing. The American Legion is a useful, inspiring, patriotism-fostering, whole some organization, the existence of which is a boon to the country. The American people should practice Rooseveltian strenuosity in their play, as well as in their work. The complexities of modern life are killing, unless duly offset by frequent periods of rest and recreation. The United States, in its relations with other nations and in its attitude toward world problems, should avoid the extreme of aloofness, just as it should avoid the extreme of becoming entangled in the political affairs of other countries. The homely old adage ran, "Stick to your flannels till they stick to you." Many make the previous mistake of putting off winter long before the chill of winter is past. To this may be attributed many colds, and many serious cases of pneumonia. Mexico is beginning to irrigate extensively. Agricultural development coupled with permanent peace, will make the Mexicans a wealthy and contented people. President Obregon is doing well in encouraging reclamation work on a vast scale. CRIME SHOULD HAVE NO MERCY HERE The movement while originated in Los Angeles to strengthen the forces arrayed against crime in this state, by means of a comprehensive remedial legislative program, has had the good effect of bestirring the people, en masse, into a realization of the menace which criminally presents and the urgent need of cooperation on the part of all, singly and collectively, to make the way of the criminal rough and forbidding, in this state. The people have awakened from their lethargy. Heretofore there has been too much of a tendency on the part of the public to sit back and criticise those charged with enforcement of the laws, and at the same time lend no friendly word and no active help. Too many have treated the great function of law enforcement as the concern only of the police and constabulary and the courts. But the great awakening is impressing the people that law enforcement is their own business; that laws are made for their protection; that enforcement of law is for their direct and very real benefit; and that, therefore, they should concern themselves directly in all that pertains to better enforcement of law and should aid actively and sympathetically, instead of standing back in sneering, critical mood, leaving the enforcement of law wholly to those who are not principals, but only the agents of the people. DESERT ROBBED OF MUCH OF ITS TERROR The deserts of the Southwest, once the ghostly lures of death, with their hot sands, their lack of water, their mirages and their tracklessness, have lost their terrors. Seldom is there a desert tragedy of the old time type. These are exceptional, rather than the rule. There comes from South Central Nevada a tale of tragedy, wherein a Los Angeles jeweler, driving by automobile through that barren region, became lost and in his frenzy pushed his companion from the car and Well, when to sign cheque A careful mortgage Fortunate that other down. The object is not that but too late A dry cacao sugar, but Mexico is beginning to irrigate extensively. Agricultural development coupled with permanent peace, will make the Mexicans a wealthy and contented people. President Obregon is doing well in encouraging reclamation work on a vast scale. Strenuous stretching forth of the governing hand at Washington is not urgently needed now. The people are busy gathering up the loose ends of the economic thread, and prefer to be left alone to work out their problems without harassment from the government. The patriotic citizen is disposed to pay taxes without grumbling when he knows that tax money are expended wisely and without extravagance or waste. But paging burdensome taxes when wastefulness is known to be rampant at the seat of government is never a palatable proceeding. Building throughout the United States, is of phenomenal proportions. No such volume of construction ever has been known in the history of this or any other country. Payrolls are stipendous and outlays for structural materials are enormous. This puts money into circulation and is an equalizing prosperity promoting factor in the economic realm. Armor against the beating sun GIVE your property the protection it deserves.

The first polo game played by women in a public tournament in this country, or probably anywhere else, was held here the other evening at Squadron A Armory. There have been private matobes of women polo players before but they have never competed in a public exhibition. It was only a few years ago that publie opinion was agnost at the thought of women even attempting this strenuous and dangerous sport. Brock Peniberton is one of our most versatile producers. Having grimped New York audiences with the clever play of the season, "Six Characters in Search of Author," he has now turned his fancy to the presentation of a French three. "The Lore Habit," is clever, too, and unusually well done, with all of its continental flavor preserved in spike of being carried out in a truly New York manne. Ernest Cossart, as the erring husband; Fania Marinoff, as the dancer who infatuates him; Florence Eldrige, as the injured wife; and James Rennie, as her young admirer, are all excellent. It takes considerable enthusiasm to chop meat in a hotel kitchen when you could live luxuriously in one of the best suites of that same hotel if you were—so inclined. That is what Maurice Barrier is doing. His father is one of the richest hotel men in France, and that means a great deal. But he wants to learn the hotel business as thoroughly as his father knows it, and believing that America has more to teach along that line even than France, he has come here to learn it. Intent upon knowing every detail of the business and its work, this tall, slender young Ernest Cossart. QUALITY IN IMMIGRATION (Omaha Bee) The movement to lift the draughts and admit a new flood of immigration to America is not in accord with public opinion. The nation as whole, including both those of foreign and native birth, is pretty well satisfied with present restrictions. The provide that the number of able who may be admitted under the immigration laws of the United States in any fiscal year he limited to 3 percent of the number of foreign persons of such nationality residing in the United States, as determining by the United States cents of 1910. This law expires June 30 of this year, and there is beginning a detained drive to have its provision modified. Such complaint as exists arises from the fact that great numbers of foreigners from the south east of Europe are kept from entry by the quota set for their country. The races of the north of Europe which formerly constituted the backbone of new Americans, have not filled up their quota. Under the present law many more of these could find admission. Shortage of labor in some industries is alleged by those who seek to bring in aliens by the million under new legislation. Some of these interests would even have the literacy test eliminated and let in anyone with a strong back. The problem of Americanization would be intensified many fold by such a policy. The organizations seeking a new supply of cheap labor fail to realize the seriousness of this Lower cost of production is indeed a desirable thing, but not at the price of American standards. To pass a tariff to protect American working men against cheap foreign labor and then to admit that labor is not available. Well, why not use thumb prints to sign checks? A careful driver is one who can make the car run as long as the mortgage. Fortunately, we didn’t stand aloof that other time until Europe settled down. The objection to restaurant eggs is that they are boiled too long, but too late. A dry country doesn’t eat more sugar, but it uses a lot more in antique fermentation. The boss always wonders whether that hum in the back office is the hum of industry or the humbug. A thick town is a place where the sidewalk is obstructed by people watching a sign painter. Most of the common horse sense in America is possessed by the kind of people who save the coupons. A garage is a place where the car is kept until the children get home from school for the summer. We don’t know just where the political bee adopts, but the swelling nearly always goes to the head. A normal man is one who has the uneasy conviction that his wife’s next husband won’t be such a fine fellow. Correct this sentence: “The wife returned after a week at her mother’s and found all the dishes washed and put away.” A bick town is a place where there’s nothing to do after supper but go down and see if the 5:40 brought any mail. You don’t need a radio for amusement if you have neighbors who quarrel without shortening their wave length. Intellectual attainments would be just as popular as sport cars if they could be paraded up and down Main street. Taking a wife is much like buying a jit. It doesn’t seem as expensive business until you begin to price accessories. Conditions are getting a little better. There are just about as many Washington clerks, but fewer of them wear spurs. Every alien should be required to live here ten years before boasting of his ancestors that came over in the Mayflower. An old-timer is one who can re- If you ride on the New York subways you get an idea that this country is a flourishing hot-bed of literary intensity. Whether they all read them or whether it is a new form of adornment, I don’t know, but nine out of every ten girls on the subway carry books. Sometimes the book is open and pages are occasionally turned if the girl is lucky enough to have a seat; usually they are just carried, maybe to be read in the quiet of an office. Never have I seen so many books in such limited space. I’ll say this for them; they are less obstructive to the other passengers comfort than are the spread out newspapers in the hands of every man. “Peerified thunder” is the latest one of nature’s expressions to be on view for New Yorkers. Technically these thunderbolts are known as fulgurites but no one seemed to feel intimate with them by that title. A fulgurite is a glass which is often produced when lightning strikes a mass of rock or bed of dry sand and melts the material. In other words, it lise glass made by nature in the same way men make glass in foundries. The fulgurites here in the Natural History Museum come from all sorts of places—Mount Ararat, the Desert of Sahara, Michigan, Illinois and Mehemanehiva. Those of us who chuckled with joy at “The Tavern” are rejoicing in the presentation of another Cohanesque force of the same delightful absurd kind. “Barnum Was Right”, which opened the other night at the Frazee is an excellent farce, with the same satire on melodrama which we loved in “The Tavern”, and with a more than usually good cast, which does that thing so important in the farce—plays with apparently complete sincerity and seriousness. Marion Coakley, Donald Brian, Nell Marlin, Denman Maley, Enid Markey and Will Deming are all so good that it is impossible to particularize. It is more difficult, I am sure, to play faerce as capably as they do than to give an acceptable performance of almost any other type of drama. bring in aliens by the million under new legislation. Some of these interests would even have the literacy test eliminated and let in anyone with a strong back. The problem of Americanization would be intensified many fold by such a policy. The organization seeking a new supply of cheap labor fail to realize the seriousness of this Lowered cost of production is indeed a desirable thing, but not at the price of American standards. To pass a tariff to protect American working men against cheap foreign labor and then to admit that labor to compete on our own soil is not statesmanship. President Harding rightly withstood the pressure to urge easier immigration laws. Involved in this question is the maintenance of the American standard of living. These races from abroad have slapper wants and can work for lower wages without any sense of sacrifice than can native Americans. It is well to consider the full implication of this. A lowered standard of living means less buying and selling. The market for meat, for clothing and all sorts of commodities would slacken under this influence. It has not been proved that there is any shortage of labor in America when wages sufficient to maintain a decent standard of living are offered. A year ago there was no employment at any wage for millions of men and businesses suffered for lack of popular purchasing power. Conditions now are better stabilized and nothing should be done to destroy the balance. To select and limit our immigration is not in violation of the historic function of America as a haven of the oppressed of every land. The decline of autocracy and the freeing of the subject nationalities has placed the peoples of Europe in a position where they should be able to work out their own relaition at home. America stands ready to welcome as many from abroad us it can absorb into its life, but does not wish its institutions swamped by unassailable quantities of alien blood. We want quality not quantity, public sentiment will not endorse surrender of this policy. When in need, advertise in the Plain Dealer. CHAS. A.
