DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together—humble dependence and manly independence; humble dependence on God, and manly reliance on self.—William Wordaworth. Health is a wonderful gift which should not be wantonly shattered by excesses and irregularities of habit. Youth is usually admonished to beware of its warmth of blood. But age needs of beware its pressure of blood. There must be progress in the eternal world. An eternity of idleness and stagnation would be anything but heavenly. To neglect solid-reading and solid thinking—to fritter time away in light and frivolous pursuits—brings on mental and moral stuppe-faction. The glad anthems from millions of throats throughout Christendom, at Easteride, eloquently attest that the Christ and His resurrection are not forgotten of men. Colombia, the mother country, and Panama, the daughter, have "kissed and made up," after a long estrangement. Which brings more joy into the family of American republics. President Harding's renomination boom is away to a premature launch, due to the precipitancy of some of his close political friends. A long-time political boom is beset by many hazards. There are frequent tempests and tidal waves that threaten it. But Mr. Harding's political craft may ride safely. AMERICAN CAPITAL AND METHOD SOUGHT Southern China, under the governing hand of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, bids fair to be modernized. Besides moving for the unification of China, Dr. Sun is seeking to bring about the adoption of methods prevalent in the Western world. He would open the doors for the investment of American and British capital. He would have railroads constructed with foreign capital. He would seek expert advice from foreign sources for the financing and modernizing of Southern China. Dr. Sun was educated in the United States. He is conversant with Western methods and ideals. He imbibed much of the Western spirit. In his agitations and revolutionary movements in China, he has advocated democratic government and has urged the unification of China, and the forming of a government for the whole of that country modelled after the government of the United States and the union of states here. Dr. Sun may yet be of great service to China. ENTENTE PROFESSED BY ANCIENT FOES The age of miracles is not past, seems. A news dispatch tells of a spectacle in one of the leading hotels of Constantinople which is almost beyond belief. Two hundred leading Turks and Armenians—men and women, sat at the same table, cheered Mustapha Kemal Pasha, shook hands and even embraced each other! This was an affair given by an association recently formed to promote friendship and fraternity between Turks and Armenians. It would be amazing indeed should the bitter, bloody feud between these peoples be dissolved in friendship and good will. This fraternity-fostering movement may achieve excellent results, even though it may not soon remove altogether the butcherly bitterness which the Turks hold toward the Armenians. Colombia, the mother country, and Panama, the daughter, have "kissed and made up," after a long estrangement. Which brings more joy into the family of American republics. President Harding's renomination boom is away to a premature launching, due to the preeptitacy of some of his close political friends. A long-time political boom is beset by many hazards. There are frequent tempests and tidal waves that threaten it. But Mr. Harding's political craft may ride the waves safely to the port of renomination, despite what many shrewd political observes regard as a tactical mistake. Americans are fond of regarding the Presidency of the United States as the most exalted and the most important political position on the face of the earth. But too few visualize the Presidency for what it is—the concrete expression of the majority of the American people, in a mandate to choose him whose task it is to administer, executively, the government of the United States—a government "of the people, by the people and for the people." The future may evolve ways and means to minimize the danger from tornadoes. When airships become as common, in use among and by the masses, as is a certain automobile today, and when speed of 200 miles an hour, or more, becomes the usual aerial achievement, the tornado can be outmitted. Upon indications of the approach of a tempest, blowing 80 or 100 miles an hour, people in the line of its movement would have but to take themselves to their airships and take a half-hour spin a full speed, and the tornado would be outrun and left far behind. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS BOOTLEGGING IS PASSING (BERKELEY, (CALIF.) GAZETTE) One point in significant, not only in the revelations of bootlegging, gambling and other crimes at Washington, but in similar disclosures elsewhere. The disguiting lapses from morals are not coming to light merely because the prohibition nets are being tightened. A year ago nets could not have been tightened. Public opinion was still disposed to take the matter as a joke. Prohibition enforcement has tightened because public opinion now sustains it. Americans who passed the eighteenth Amendment are no longer fooling with home brew in the basement and drinking cocktails before meals because they think they have to make a fuss about "personal liberty" or because they are afraid they will be laughed at if they don't. These people sat easy for a while after the amendment was passed, not really knowing whether the results would be good or ill. TOWN IN REVIEW Every week is prune week for the boarders. Breitbard is an athlete who bits nails in two pieces. We do not know what makes him so mad. Spring style hint: Rubber heels don't scratch desk tops so easily. Away down yonder in New Orleans a man broke his jaw yawning, and it is another sign of spring. Doctor says men who smoke are liable to have everything. We say everything except matches. Some men have been wearing trousers 50 or 80 years and still throw them on the floor every night. It is a wise man who doesn't show his almost beyond belief. Two hundred leading Turks and Armenians—men and women, sat at the same table, cheered Mustapha Kemal Pasha, shook hands and even embraced each other! This was an affair given by an association recently formed to promote friendship and fraternity between Turks and Armenians. It would be amazing indeed should the bitter, bloody feud between these peoples be dissolved in friendship and good will. This fraternity-fostering movement may achieve excellent results, even though it may not soon remove altogether the butterly bitterness which the Turks hold toward the Armenians. FLEET IS COMING BACK FROM MANEUVERS The Pacific Fleet is coming back to California waters—its home—after battle practice and mimic warfare with the Atlantic Fleet in the vicinity of the Panama Canal. A number of interesting, and a few startling, developments were brought out in this mock battling. From the lessons derived from the practice of the fleets down here, Congress should be enabled to legislate intelligently and effectively to strengthen the defenses of the Canal Zone. Wisdom of the move of the national government whereby a formidable fleet is to be maintained at all times in Pacific waters—so long as it is necessary thus to preserve national defense—is more and more apparent. Should this Nation have serious foreign trouble, in future, the Pacific would be the theater of national defense, without doubt. It is highly important, therefore, that a powerful fleet be maintained in these waters; and that the Panama Canal be defended adequately, so that a junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets could be effected without delay, if the hazards were such as to call for this action. the prohibition nets are being tightened. A year ago nets could not have been tightened. Public opinion was still disposed to take the matter as a joke. Prohibition enforcement has tightened because public opinion now sustains it. Americans who passed the eighteenth Amendment are no longer fooling with home brew in the basement and drinking cocktails before meals because they think they have to make a fuss about "personal liberty" or because they are afraid they will be laughed at if they don't. These people sat easy for a while after the amendment was passed, not realy knowing whether the results would be good or ill. Now they know that the main effects are good. And they realize that their sitting easy has been responsible for the bootlegger and his deadly wares. So they are showing their teeth a little when he comes around. The day of the bootlegger, confident, greedy, careless of life, is done. He will linger on, of course, in fewer and fewer numbers, going farther and further into hiding, plying his evil trade in deepest darkness, with ever-increasing danger. For a brief space bootlegging was a recognized industry—in the eyes of many people almost a legitimate one. It is now fast passing into the criminal category where it belongs. The wise ones are getting out of the same while they may. The evil is still great, but it has passed its peak. Nothing like that lasts indefinitely. It carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction; and while the seeds in this case have not yet matured, they are nice thriving little plants even now. WISE AND WITTY Self confidence is an asset, too much of it is a liability. Disatisfaction should be an incentive to torge ahead. We over-tax our conscience although our Assector starts us out with a clean slate. When speed exceeds good common sense it drags along obedience. Petty stealing begins in wasting your own time. The father of English literature, Chaucer, spelled as he pleased, just like a stenographer. Spring is when nature says it with flowers. Counting to 100 before starting a fight is nice but Jack Dempsey counts to $750,000. Away down yonder in New Orleans a man broke his jaw yawning, and it is another sign of spring. Doctor says men who smoke are liable to have everything. We say everything except matches. Some men have been wearing trousers 50 or 60 years and still throw them on the floor every night. It is a wise man who doesn't show his ignorance. Many a party is given for the pleasure of not inviting someone. A small town is where the jail is full if they catch a crook. An old-timer is a man who likes his coffee so strong he needs a chaser after it. The height of something is a coat of arms on a flliver. New York is where a distracted mother nands the baby her cigarette instead of the bottle. Jesse James rode a horse. Men who cut pie in eight pieces don't. It is a so hot in Africa underwear is considered an overcoat. In Alaska they get oil from shark's livers, but you never get oil from a shark's oil well. Marshmallows make excellent emergency powder puffs. Mike Angelo was a swell painter but he couldn't paint a baldheaded man to fool a fly. Paris says actresses don't have to wear any clothes if they stand still. Glt fer home, Bruno. April showers bring rain. Very few can sing our national anthem all the way, but everybody knows "How Dry I Am." Best acting in the movies is done by the man who smiles as you squeeze past on his pet corn.

I am of the essence of life's greatest happiness—familyhood. I shelter the babe in its cradle; I inspire men to take. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Two things that aid in living a virtuous life are a pure heart and a bald head. Ain't nature wonderful! Some of the greatest family trees start from a kumbug. The way to improve a lettuce sandwich is to take out the lettuce and insert ham. Another way to avoid insomnia is to refrain from signing notes for your friends. It isn't a supreme court we need to pass judgment on some of the laws but an alienist. Correct this sentence: "Darn it," groaned the man, "I'm afraid I am not earning my salary." There isn't much ' to social function in a hick town except whipped cream and mayonnaise dressing. An optimist is a woman who has taken off the extra blankets and folded them away in the closet. A hot-head is a man who hardly can restrain his impulse to make other men float for his country. A rich man's funeral service isn't complete until each of the survivors has hired a lawyer. Still, the knights of old who stood up for women didn't go so far as to do it in street cars. Nothing the movie critics have to say can be heard above the clink of cash at the box office. We could get along very nicely HOME, HUMANITY'S I am God's most powerful instrument for good—without me, man is beast. I am the cradle of all humanity. I am of the essence of life's greatest happiness—familyhood. I shelter the babe in its cradle; I inspire men to Achievement. I am the foundation of democracy, the basis of civilization. Men have died for my defense, nations have prospered through my influence. Love, Faith, Ambition are nurtured by me. I am Balm to the weary—a Boon to the happy: I am life's closest companion. To partake of my gifts, you must own me—have me for your very own, for I can serve you best when I am really yours. I am humanity's greatest benefactor —THE HOME. CONVICT STAYS IN PEN TO PITCH BASEBALL GAME (By International News Service) SANTA FE, N. M., April 5. Baseball meant more than freedom to Steve Heinrich, pitcher for the New Mexico State Penitentiary baseball team. Heinrich's sentence was commuted by Governor Hinkle on a Thursday, but he insisted upon remaining in the pen over Sunday in order to pitch a baseball game for the prisoners' team. He won his game—7 to 3—and departed on Monday. J. E. Schumacher Co., for "Everything in real estate." We Save You Money! The new public market where we sell your car for you and finance the terms.
