THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Heister, Editor & Pub. Lotus H. London, Adv. Manager DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Whence is this power? I lift my wonder-ing eyes Unto the hills; in glad and sweet surprise List to the voice—its breath my being fills, Tis God in thee—'tis He in thee that wills. Clara Rancroft The right way is always the best way. Love of good music is one of the most refining of influences. There is no nobler philanthropy than helping the helpless. Too much stress cannot be laid upon thorouness in school work. America should have no preaching of the doctrine of violence and anarchy. It requires the worst circumstances, at times, to bring out the best in one's character. Politics should be kept out of the schools, and schools should be kept out of politics. Adversity, to many persons, is the flail that separates the wheat from the chaff, in character. Europe should abandon its militarism and the United States should regulate its petty politics. Better economic conditions have passed from the realm of hope and expectation to the realm of realization. The phonograph is a boon in provided wholesome entertainment in the home and in cultivating love of good music.

The phonograph is a boon in provided wholesome entertainment in the home and in cultivating love of good music. Moderation is its own reward. The moderate person enjoys better health, as a rule, and gets more comfort, satisfaction and happiness out of life than does the immoderate person. It oftentimes requires not a little moral courage for one to admit that one has been in the wrong. It is excellent character discipline to do so, however, as often as one is in the wrong. The old adage "Handsome is as handsome does," is true in theatricals as well as in real life. A plain face on the stage or on the screen if lighted by the fires of genius, becomes handsome to the discriminating observer. Who can tell, by the way, the name of the students who made the best scholastic records last year—or any year—at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia or California? Why are scholastic achievements ignored so completely, while so much stress is laid upon athletics. California will be a big factor in the national political campaign in 1924. This has become almost the keystone state in the arch of national politics. California has decided the Presidency once. It may do so again, and 1924 may be the year for additional distinction and prestige. LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT BY 6. W. STRAUSS President American Society for Thrift The writer recently spent several weeks in Turkey, Egypt and some of the countries of Southern Europe. One cannot make even the most superficial visit to these far-away lands and not be impressed first of all by the lack of progress as compared with American standards. Also one need look no further than these regions for the most graphic illustration of the fact that there can be no national progress excepting where there is a background of individual thrift, education and ambition. One views in all of these countries the landmarks of ancient glory, temples and palaces of great beauty; numerous works of art reminiscent of the golden age of the painter and the sculptor; foundations and ruins of monumental structures where oratory and the drama were born and where the philosophies of the ages first were uttered. It is most incongruous to note the poverty, squander and filiteracy that exists among many of those who live today amid the ruins of those illization or how splendid its accomplishments BUDGET REVISED AS SOME FEATURES Revision of state budget figures, as by Governor Richardson gives a large amount for educational purposes than traced in the original estimates. And decreasing certain other items, the net in the budget allowances is less than Governor Richardson is bent upon ing the principle of retrenchment—a effect economies which are actual E who may not wholly agree with the C allocation of funds, find reason to act the general principle of making retrenchment in the state's business.

Governor Richardson's budget may perfect—doubtless it falls short of But it represents a long stride toward economical conduct of the business of enrmment. NEW YORK LETTER BY LUCY JEANNE PRICE NEW YORK, April 12.—Enterprise do manage to congregate in the city!

And meantime city is taking as much interest in laca' earl" as if we all lived side One views in all of these countries the landmarks of ancient glory, temples and palaces of great beauty; numerous works of art reminiscent of the golden age of the painter and the sculptor; foundations and ruins of monumental structures where oratory and the drama were born and where the philosophies of the ages first were uttered. It is most incongruous to note the poverty, squalor and illiteracy that exists among many of those who live today amid the ruins of those illization or how splendid its accomplishments and habits of the people are sound. In witnessing these spectacles one is most forcefully impressed with the fact that no matter how powerful a nation may be, how exalted its civilization or how splendid its accomplishments in the arts and sciences, there can be no permanency and progress unless the personal lives and habits of the people are sound. Civilization, after all, is just a matter of what we as individuals do day by day. Had the people of Egypt, for example, practiced individual thrift, as millions of Americans know it today, through the many centuries that have elapsed since the days of their ancient wealth and power, what a tremendous force in human progress they would be today! No nation can rise higher than the level of individual thrift and education among its people; nor will any nation ever sink lower than that same level. WISE AND WITTY Ambition will make a man either great or foolish. When winning chances become slim, put a brace on your patience. A peppery temper knows no limit. Indifference in the wedge between failure and success, An empty market basket is hollow consolation for the hungry. Cheek-mate your faults, then start a new game. Insolently of the body creates laziness of the mind. Where riches are in abundant suspicion puts up its domain. Good must be cultivated while evil follows you voluntarily. The smoke screen with its deadly vapor may hide the plant which turns out the deadly weapon. AGE OF TIMBER IS PROSPECT The United States is being cut at the rate of replacement. Seventy percent of the present cut represents timber capital of the company. Conditions continue the timber. United States will disappear in years. The timber salvation depends upon reforestation. And, chief forester of the Department points out, reforesting depletion and fire protection. If given priority from fires and adjustments Chief forester is convinced that growth at a profit today by the owners of New England, the Mid-Indiana and Illinois. The trend make production possible at a year future in the lake states and The Chief Forester observes that tract of and underpresent condemning the initial payment on a year life insurance policy. Timber by private enterprise is the government should encourage grower. And all who are in place in this broad-spirited, patriotic order upon it with zest. The plantrees should be fostered by every citizen. REVISED AS TO ME FEATURES State budget figures, as reported Richardson gives a larger allowance purposes than was con- original estimates.
