THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester, Editor & Pub. Lotus H. Louden, Adv. Manager How strange and beautiful it is to know that not only the great deeds that come to us to perform, perchance but once or twice in life, are noted There; but the least action, if done because of love of Christ, finds a place in the record of cups of cold water given in His name—Rose Porter. The extreme penalty should be provided in the statutes of California to protect children against kidnapping. Population of the United States is increasing steadily, and yet not phenomenally. It is the growth that is substantial and permanent. Authority for Congress to abolish child labor and to establish a minimum wage for women and girls should be had through amendments to the United States constitution. All laws should be obeyed. Violators of any law or laws should be punished. There should be no partiality as to laws—all should be enforced rigidly and without fear or favor. They should not pester President Harding about intimated political significance of his proposed trip to the West and to Alaska. He should be treated with common courtesy and consideration in this. Why not leave 1924 politics for 1924? Why anticipate? Why put the country into commotion? There is no good and sufficient reason why these things should be. Any mode of life which, by excesses and dissipation and irregular habits shatters the health, is unwholesome and to be depreciated. Life and health are sacred trusts, and should be protected by careful, proper habits. A New York girl danced fifty hours without stopping. Two Cleveland girls broke this record Which indicates that the silly season is on, "back yonder". Of what credit or value is an achievement like that? Proposal that seven Justices of the United States Supreme Court, rather than a mere may- 1924 CONVENTION BAY CITY'S QUESTION San Francisco is making a detainment for both the great national political next year. A large entertainment raised, and the live-wire booster City are pushing the claims of that for the great political assemblages tial year. Influential figures of this state lingering the San Francisco invitation: likelihood that one, if not both, occasions will be induced to come to the pronounced success of San Francisco attainment of the Democratic nation in 1920 is fresh in the memory oftended that great political conclave. Summer playgrounds for the children will receive the earnest, zestful the Kiwanis Club. The good workmer is to be repeated this summer ability. This is an excellent service worthy organization gives the wholesomely providing innocent recyouths. BOOMS FOR PRESIDENT ARE OPENING The birth of Presidential booms of the day now. The latest form is that for Henry Ford, and gressives have started it, looking at dential primary in 1924. That be a Presidential figure next year dicted by close observers politics. This summer should witness not overing and the shaping of several Presidency. From present indication be a lively contest for nomination ventions of both of the great par It is assumed, even without the taste announcements by his political President. Harding will stand for But that he will have opposing othe Republican convention is probable will try conclusions with Mr. Hard yet appear. Possibly there may b tries. Any mode of life which, by excesses and dissipation and irregular habits shatters the health, is unwholesome and to be depreciated. Life and health are sacred trusts, and should be protected by careful, proper habits. A New York girl danced fifty hours without stopping. Two Cleveland girls broke this recoord Which indicates that the silly season is on, "back yonder". Of what credit or value is an achievement like that? Proposal that seven Justices of the United States Supreme Court, rather than a mere majority, should be required to agree in all cases involving the constitutionally of a federal enactment, has much to commend it. Legislation by Congress should not be overthrown lightly and indiscriminately. Stock swindling should be discouraged in every way possible. Palapable frauds or dubious stocks should not be advertised in the newspaper press of the country. Conscientious publishers feel that they should avoid being a party to fraudulent transactions, and therefore they refuse to accept advertising of stocks unworthy of public confidence. It is hardly reasonable to consider the substituting of the three-fourths verdict for the unanimous agreement of trial juries in criminal cases as being a dangerously radical departure. Quite the contrary. It is a prudently conservative method of forestalling radical assaults upon the American system of legal procedure. This proposed change, if instituted in California, it is confidentially believed would foster the cause of justice and bring the administering of criminal law into greater respect. FOOLISH HAZARDS ARE PROHIBITED Scaling of skyscrapers walls by human files is prohibited by action of New York's Board of Aldermen. This action should have come long ago. Recently Harry Young fell while climbing up the outside of a New York hotel. He was hooded and mangled, of course. Daring characters should not be permitted thus to jeopardise their lives. They thereby enter to the greed of those who profit from their foolish feats. This peril is undertaken to cater to morbidity—a catering which should not be The type of person who morbidly curious to see a human being take chances of being dashed to death should be discouraged in this mandlin morbidity. Proposed widening and possible extension of the Foothill boulevard is a direct and important interest to Pasadena. Travel over this noted thorofare is extremely heavy, and its moving would be a popular move. There should be a worldwide compact nations to preserve just peace and to promote good will among all countries and peoples. The United State should have prominent place in a part of this nature which has no objectionable entangling features. TOWN IN REVIEW It isn't so hard to tell which side of the house will be at risk. TOWN IN REVIEW It isn't so hard to tell which side of the house a small boy resembles. He resembles the outside. Bush makes many a success in life, and his wife does the pushing. It seems that living is high because things cost so much. The stingiest man we know of doesn't chew chewing gum, he sucks it. Exercise develops the arms. Let us have girl postmen. A nice man is a man who takes his overcoat back to the restaurant where he got it last fall. The light brigade charged like thunder, so did the sugar men. Women never thought of smoking 20 or 30 years ago, which is why they didn't do it. Difference between gloves and bathing trunks is two gloves make a pair. Many parties are given just to get a gang of autos in front of the house for people to see. It is all right to have a good time on Sunday if you don't enjoy it. Now that spring is here, we are all seeing better days. Some marry for better or worse, some for target practice. While speaking your mind it is best to mind your speaking. One tells us she doesn't mind her fellow stealing a kiss so much, if he steals it from her. People who object to little boys fighting should not send them to school in red neckers. Man can't say a word with his mouth full of pity. In the way birds hang around a garden one to think all kinds of seed are bird overlooked by the astute party leader. GOVERNMENT CRITICAL BRITAIN The ministry of Andrew Bonar law can survive the political storms which going. Premier Bonar law is in d Indeed, when assumed the Premier freely predicted that he soon would quit office because of failing health though his administration had been placid, the strain would have been Sheer grit has kept him at the helm. But political antagonisms are so bitter, the ministry seems to be doing only a question of time—possibly time. Mr. Bonar law's successor only know. Whether or not Mr. will be swept back into office, re-seen. Or whether some other figure to leadership, is enigmatic at present political affairs are in flux. There knowing who may come forward to leadership. Another change in government lies in Britain. Andrew Bonar law, political enemies in Parliament and all health, is about ready to quit state. There is intense interest in well as in Britain, as to who will Whether or not Mr. Lloyd George enough support to regain the Pride this time remains to be seen. NOTABLE INCREASE POPULATION The United States is jogging along lation increase, at steady pace, nationally. Census Bureau estimated population, as of July 1, at 110,634 rate of increase is 1,415,109 annually trained, this rate will give total year 119,861,710 in 1930. This is a heart permanent gain. It represents soft growth. There has been no startle foreigners during the last three ye there be in future, because of restric upon immigration.

In every o well as in population, California is expanding and thriving. California's population is increasing 100,000 yearly, according to estimate United States Census Bureau. This the 19:0 census will show at least increase in population, compared with census.

April 16.Inventory was being made today of museum treasures missing from Stanford Univ., museum, including part of the famous jewel collection of Mrs. Leland Stanford, wife of the founder of the University, and rare specimens of Egyptian, Greek and English gold coins. Preliminary estimates placed the loss at $50,000, but it was admitted full check may send the amount higher. The museum, standing a quarter of a mile from other structures, was unguarded. In the coin collection was one set worth $5,000. It was composed of 75 pieces. Officials believe the robber hid in the museum Saturday afternoon. Cases were ruthlessly snaffled. Short and Snappy Sweden maintains four radio compass stations to give positions to ships at sea cross bearings and will add to them. Electric current from a light socket heats water in a metal box that has been designed for containing shaving implements. A Mexican government laboratory has found that a substitute for jute can be obtained from the fibre of a native plant growing extensively in humid lands near rivers.

Europe will find it much easier to balance her budget if she will keep her head level. An old-timer is one who can remember when it was an insult to call a man effeminate. Every season has its delights. The auto tourist can't smell flowers along the way now, but he can smell hot dogs. Another good way to protect the honor of your home is to spend a little more time there. Lower a class plot; a bath equals middle class; middle class plus a million equals upper class. The difference between art and a mere picture is that clothing is permissible in a mere picture. When a countryman says the city is wicked, you know how he spent his time while he was in the city. Correct this sentence: "During the five years of their married life neither had at any time pouted." Our limited observation leads us to believe that the Tut tango hasn't the snap of the old tut-tutango. When a woman's eyes focus on a stout sister, she is wondering dismally if she is beginning to look like that. This is an unkind world, and the only time a man gets all the praise he feels entitled to is at his funeral. Well, why shouldn't France have a greater fleet of aircraft? She spends a greater part of her time up in the air. There were no domestic science courses in the old days, but the wash board served as a board of education. KING CLOSER TRADE RELATIONS SOUTH Trade relations and extension of commerce in the United States and California on the one hand, and Mexico on the other, are sought by a delegation of men and affairs, representing the San Francisco Commerce and civic and ten other California cities. A police being made, to foster fellowhood will. Tourists are commendable. They bring the commercial interests of the country more closely together. Through their will directed instrumentalities Mexico should be increased greatly, should be foremost in fostering this strategic position with reference with Mexico. The great trade that will develop between California and republic will be of tedmendous importance. Every possible encouragement given from this side the border development. and the Pacific West are of enough importance to justify leaders in bringing both of the great national political to California in 1924. The votes in the electoral college may decide presidential contest. The importance of West in national politics is not why the statute party leaders.
