DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Will sorrow come? dark hours of pain? Yes, but as gently as the failing rain; Canst thou not see how they God's plans fulfill. His strength is thine, as thou thyself shall will.—Clara Bancroft. As 1924 draws near, the frenzy begins to crop out, in politics. California is not a state in a stagnant state. It is healthily progressive. Liberty that takes the form of license is a menace rather than a blessing to mankind. Discourage the criminal by making it exceedingly hard and risky for him to get your valuables. Friendship among nations must supplant hatred and suspicion and covetous greed, before the menace of wars will be past. Three killed in a grade crossing accident in Oregon. Horrors of this kind will never end so long as there are crossings at grade. There is no family tradition half so valuable as a record through generations, of strict adherence to the requirements of honesty and honor. Pacific Coast cities are setting the pace for the whole country in rapidly growing. This is a distinction worth while—to be the fastest growing part of the country. Intensive cultivation of soil in California, for grain crops, and garden truck and orchards, is proceeding handsomely. There is great merit in intensive methods of soil culture. Disagreement juries will defeat the ends of justice and clog the courts, until such time as rational, judicious reform of criminal procedure is instituted, with three-fourths verdicts from juries. FEDERAL WORK MUST BE GIVEN FULL TIME A keen conscience as to faithful performance of public duty characterizes the work of D. Hubert Work, who lately went from the Post office Department to the Department of the Interior. Dr. Work holds that all attaches and employees of all departments of the national government should give faithful service, for the full number of hours each day which official regulation prescribe. Because of complaints from the public about neglect on the part of registers, receivers and surveyers general of the Generat Land Office in various parts of th country who abented their selves from their respective offices during prescribed business hours. Secretary Work has issued directions to Land Office officials in which wholesome sentiment is expressed: "All officials of this department including the secretary, hold office for the purpose serving the people and of aiding in the transaction of business appertaining to the several offices. To this end it is desirable and necessary that officials devote their entire time during business shours to the several offices. If this were the sincere consistent, persistent policy of all public officials—municipal county, state and national—governmental efficiency would be revolutionized in this country." AIR PROTECTION SAFE FOR PANAMA CANAL American naval maneuvers recently in war adjacent to the Panama canal have been quieting because of the poor showing made to defense of the Canal zone. But now conquered the United States Air Service with assurance that the canal can be safeguarded against tile naval attack, and this safeguarding can effected through the military air service. The island of Porto Rico tests have been demonstrated, is the best base for all defense of Canal zone. Radiating from the base, army Pacific Coast cities are setting the pace for the whole country in rapidly growing. This is a distinction worth while—to be the fastest growing part of the country. Intensive cultivation of soil in California, for grain crops, and garden truck and orchards, is proceeding handsomely. There is great merit in intensive methods of soil culture. Disagreeing juries will defeat the ends of justice and clog the courts, until such time as rational, judicious reform of criminal procedure is instituted, with three-fourths verdicts from juries. That business is better throughout the nation is indicated by reports from every official and expert source. The sense of prosperity is in the very air. All sections and all classes are in it, in some measure. Moderation is needed in the world today perhaps as much or more than ever before. Hotspurs in military circles, in statecraft and in diplomacy soon fight embroil the world and precipitate another calamitous war. It is reasonable to believe that avenging spirits sent a poisonous insect to sling Lord Carnarvon because he was excavating the tomb of Paraoh. Such things belong with tales of witchcraft and other absurdities of superstition. The quality of patriotism should not be strained. It should not be frenzied and trouble seeking and war menacing. The patriotism that makes peace—that strives, in every honorable way, to keep the country out of war, is the highest type. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS MME. BERNHARDT'S STAGE WORK Evening Post Sarah Bernhardt was a product of the finest schooling, which enabled her to excel in many directions, although her range was not quite so wide as the number of characters assumed by her might lead one to suppose. Between many of them there was a very strong family resemblance. Among the plays outside the classic repertory in which she won enduring success were "Adrienne Lecouvreur," "La Dame aux Camellias," "Frou-Frou," "Le Sphinx," "Rome Valencue," and "Le Passant." There were many more, of course, but these are fairly typical and illustrate a wide variety of feminine attributes. Bernhardt was mistress of all of them. She had elegance, charm, sentiment, pathos (especially of the plaintive, patient, martyr-like order which found its ables representative in Clara Morris), superb anger and hauteur, intellectual hardness and eunning, and torential passion of extraordinary vehemence, which, however, being more suggestive of technical skill than emotional eloquence, amazed rather than appalled. She rarely touched the heights or the depths of the nobler passions. NEW YORK LETTER BY LUCY JEANNE PRICE NEW YORK, April 11.—The "poor" in grant! When we think and talk about pioneering allens who flock to our gates, we wont to consider them as climbing out of steerage with a few hard?scraped dollars tightly in toil worn hands, ready to add numbers to the most impoverished of ours. On one day of last week, the immigrants just one steamer, which entered New York bor, brought with them over one million lars. There were about 300 of them, and averaged $3,500 each. I wonder how well York citizens' average would stand up against that! They were all Scandanavians and nearly every case were going on to the next west to give us some badly needed farmers. An ant-eater isn't a pleasant looking creature at best, and one wise and gentle monkey arrived here the other day as the pet of J. Beck, is convinced that the ant-eating animal is not fit companion for anyone. Mr. brought back with him from Cuba, the most ant-eater and a ten-foot Spanish python seems a queer assortment for anyone to come attached to; but that is Mr. Beck's affair. The catastrophe was this; on Su Mr. Beck opened a case of red ants as aracy for the ant-eater. The monkey, which cavorting nearby invited itself to the Whereupon the ants sought refuge in the lias," "Frou-Frou," "Le Sphinx," "Rome Valencue," and "Le Passant." There were many more, of course, but these are fairly typical and illustrate a wide variety of feminine attributes. Bernhardt was mistress of all of them. She had elegance, charm, sentiment, pathos (especially of the plaintive, patient, martyr-like order which found its ables representative in Clara Morris), superb anger and hauteur, intellectual hardness and cunning, and torrential passion of extraordinary vehemence, which, however, being more suggestive of technical skill than emotional eloquence, amazed rather than appalled. She rarely touched the heights or the depths of the nobler passions. She was not in this respect a Sldons, Ristori, Seebach, or Januschek. Truly versatile in variations of the special types which appealed to her—particularly those in which the elements of fascinating, romance intrigue or suffering, are domnent—she nevertheless had her sharp limitations in the art of feminine portraiture. In all her vast repertory the finer traits of the most sterling womanhood found but scant illustration. For this, of course, the genius of the French theater was largely responsible. She had to interpret characters as she found them, but there was apt to be a trace of insincerity, of more art than feeling, whenever she attempted to give expressions to the similar natural feelings. She struck the different emotional chord with confident skill, but the thrill of the inspired touch was often missing. In the resultant tones the full vibration of the heartstrings was not felt. WISE AND WITTY Modesty will show up the magnitude of man's achievement. An impoverished soul empties its dark chambers by cursing its benefactors. When falschood has spent its energy it leaves truth reposing. Whichever route we take we find only one terminal. With "almost" it takes another notch to "finish." The connecting link with eternal life lies within the soul. The saring of pennies is thrift while spending dollars which is economy. There are just as many eager men to listen to falschood as there are willing tongues to carry them. An ant-eater isn't a pleasant looking creature at best, and one wise and gentle monkey was arrived here the other day as the pet of J. Beck, is convinced that the ant-eating animal is not fit companion for anyone. Mr. Beck brought back with him from Cuba, the monkey the ant-eater and a ten-foot Spanish python seems a queer assortment for anyone to come attached to, but that is Mr. Beck's affair. The catastrophe was this; on Suzanne Mr. Beck opened a case of red ants as an acy for the ant-eater. The monkey, which cavorting nearby invited itself to the Whereupon the ants sought refuge in the key's hair, and when the party arrived at the monkey was still whimpering and occasionally howling as it sought to free itself or tiny crawlers. The asphalt pavement of Columbus Circle steadily acquiring a wholly metal surface is being paved with automobile parts. The ele claims the distinction of the heaviest traffic of any section of the city. Also, both of its wide surface, it is the least shaded ment in the summer, and becomes the highest stretch of asphalt in Manhattan. In consequence the asphalt that swells and bubbles during August is a graveyard for buts, screws and various parts lost from the walls of cars that cross it. You step on the matter where you cross the Circle. That paving will never wear out, I should say. Our newest theater has just opened called "The Dresden" and is on top of Amsterdam theater. "Cinders," the opening is well suited to the delicacy of the play name. "Cinders" is a musical comedy, based on the old, old story of Cinderella. But there has always been good and probably always be even if the eternal life dream of "Methuselah" comes true. There are some trigging airs ill its music and some good in its acet. The music is by Rudolph Smith, and Walter Regan. Our Sullivan law, which prohibits the possession of a pistol without a permit, is a great Joseph Klein, whose restaurant on Henry Street revolver one of them pointed at him. The reason to a nautally human impulse and grabbe revolver one of the pointed at him. The revolver just as the policeman responded to the roar and entered the door. Then he and Mr Klein for having the revolver. "Mournful sounds" which might be anything from a baby to a ghost led Patricia Pasciglione, to enter a smokey basement at the risk of his life. He race mournful sounds into the hottest bed of life and there he found a thin gray cat.

"I feel so at home there," a woman 'll say in gushin' o'er some place she's been, when if she'd felt that way she couldn't have stood it. Sparks and Spikes "High Ideals" sort of backfire when applied to skirts. Our idea of fun is a dentist having his landlord for a patient. Sophisticated people seidom brag; most of the horn tooting is the green-horn kind. Church would be a lot more popular if there wasn't so much sermon between the musical numbers. Correct this sentence: "The man lay in bed two weeks and did not once speak crossly to his wife." We are becoming saner every day, and greatness no longer consists in a signature nobody can read. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) War is just a more complicated and expensive method of making maps. A normal man is one who spends his life wishing he hadn't spent so much last month. A stomach that can handle anything is just an ordinary stomach with military training. It isn't Prohibition that encourages the drug habit, but the profit made by peddlers. Even now it isn't polite to smoke before ladies. At any rate, not before they light up. It's a hick town if it still enjoys bragging about the congestion of traffic on Main street. It seems unfair to let the movie stars have done and do nothing to ease the pain of movie patrons. "Home Sweet Home" is with us yet, after an even hundred years, it wasn't built by contract. Missionaries must hurry if they would get Africa sufficiently civilized to furnish troops for the Christian nations. Another good sanity test is the possession of a car that is capable of making eighty miles an hour. The reason some men tell Satan to get behind them is because they wish to set a faster pace. We fear at times that culture is the art of pretending to like the things you should like in order to be cultured. In the old days they put citizens in jail for debt, but an Arkansas town is putting its citizens in debt for a jail.

You may call this a democracy when the wife of the boss calls on the wife of the employee and takes her sewing along. Scientists can magnify the human voice 12,000 times, but seem unable to do a darned thing for the voice of conscience.
