DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Nothing of character is really permanent but virtue and personal worth. These remain. Whatever of excellence is wrought into the soul itself, belongs to both worlds. Real goodness does not attach itself merely to this life; it points to another world.—Daniel Webster. The grade crossing with horrifying frequency claims its victims in ghastly tragedies. The one and only sure remedy is abolishment. One way to effect daylight saving is not to let the light of day be worse than wasted through thoughtless idleness on the part of great numbers of persons. Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota, whose death is mourned, was a selfmade man, a patriot of the first magnitude. He died at a mellow old age, after a long and useful career in the Senate. The Marathon dance idocy continues, although not so many cases are exploited in the journalistic sensationalists. The police fail to do their manifest duty if they do not arrest those participating in this craze. Disinclination of great numbers of eligible voters to cast their ballot constitutes a great peril. This nation cannot exist in the perpetuity of its institutions and ideals, unless its honest, responsible, patriotic citizenry use the ballot to good purpose.

This nation cannot exist in the perpetuity of its institutions and ideals, unless its honest, responsible, patriotic citizenry use the ballot to good purpose. Tourists in great numbers are coming to California this summer. The lure of this State is upon the people everywhere. Many are coming for the first time. Many others have been here before, and are drawn back here, with irresistible fascination, to become permanent residents. It is regrettable beyond words that any proposal relating to ways and means for fostering just peace throughout the world should become the subject of bitter political dissension. It seems inescapable, however: The Court of International Justice and the League of Nations will be issues sharply accentuated in the 1924 campaign. There are too many persons looking for an easy existence free from work and responsibility. There is too much indolence, too much madness for pleasure and a good time. These things if not curbed and corrected, ultimately would sap the morals of the Nation. These tendencies should be combatted by all the moral forces and influences of the country. President Harding's attitude toward the Court of International Justice, elaborated in his recent speech before the Associated Press, has created a greater stir in national politics than any pronouncement or course of action or policy in recent months. This issue is destined to become more and more important, in the estimation of political leaders, until it logos as one of the leading questions of the 1924 Presidential contest. It will not down now. President Harding's speech has projected this proposal definitely into the campaign of next year. Meanwhile, the people will have time to ponder the issue and to form their conclusions. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS SHAMEFUL ADVERTISING—New York Post A shattered human body lay upon a New York sidewalk yesterday before the eyes of a horrified crowd as the result of a new development which goes far to justifying the worst that is said by outsiders about American money-worship.

Young had climbed to the eighth floor of the Hotel Martinique as an ad- SHAMEFUL ADVERTISING—New York Post A shattered human body lay upon a New York sidewalk yesterday before the eyes of a horrified crowd as the result of a new development which goes far to justifying the worst that is said by outsiders about American moneyworship. Harry F. Young had climbed to the eighth floor of the Hotel Martinique as an advertising stunt for a movie scheme, and the police have reported that in his pocket they have found a signed waiver releasing the promoters of the scheme from all responsibility for the ghastly fate that the participants must have foreseen. The human fly came into notice during the war and his publicity activities were encouraged during the Liberty Loan campaigns. Even then if people had stopped to think, this peculiar advertising method would scarcely have been found necessary. But what was conceivable at a time of great emotional stress and in behalf of a public cause is only intolerable when practiced in behalf of a private business proposition. It is now said to be a question whether such exhibitions should be permitted in the future. We fail to see where the "question" comes in. Public sentiment today is divided between horror and shame over the event. Toleration of the practice would be an indictment of savagery. Historian who have written about the gladiatorial slaughters in the Roman arena have pointed out that on the part of the public it was as much perhaps, thoughtless acceptance of an old custom and delight in skill as conscious cruelty. How far different is this business of playing with human life for advertising purposes? ODDITIES IN THE NEWS The average girl in Sicily marries at the age of 15, while American girls hunt a man six years longer. Average farm in Denmark has only 35 acres, so farming may be what is rotten in Denmark. Trains say elephants smell with their mouth not their trunk. Others say they smell all over.

The Federal Board draws attention to this, and notes of caution. Should the demand shifts persist, this would necessitate in borrowings by banks which are members of the Federal Reserve system. It would be desirable to have credit demands run to immoderate levels. Makes it not amiss to say a few words the need of prudence and moderation by industrial and financial interests to which has been gained in the period which is now prevailing. What hasained in this easily might be lost—in measure—by excesses in credits, or by methods of any kind. Wisdom and judgement should guide in these things. caution is exercised, high tide prosperity continue for an indefinite period. EDINE REFORMS NOT ENDURING acts effected by occasional "raids" by poisons lasting or very real. The criminal element learn to discount these forces of evil keep informed, by underground intelligence system, and the police, in large measure.

Do not suppress these things—merely them for the time being. Originally on or group thus molested finds some PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Out in the districts where life is raw, fewer deals are. The safest thing to take for a cold is an extra handkerchief. Another way to succeed as an amateur gardner is to have more persistence than a weed. The business wizards who are noted for keeping their eyes open seldom keep their mouth that way. The difference between people and the politicians is that the politicians know what they want. It must be an awful strain on parents, trying to pretend they don't know their daughter is going to elope. It is only a question of time until every pedestrian will be in an emergency ward or behind a steering wheel. It is a dull spring when some inland town doesn't produce heirs to claim the greater part of New York City. The normal driver thinks he is careful just because he toots when he is getting ready to run over somebody. Tolerance is the quality that enables us to feel kindly to an unbeliever so long as he pays us a profit. The number of intellectuals grows steadily, but there still are enough real people to make the world interesting. Correct this sentence: "I always let John get his own breakfast," said the wife, "and he doesn't mind it a bit." It takes a lot of nerve, however. Nelson came to this country a poor, but lad. He might have drifted thrug nothing of special value to himself or hand of his adoption. But he brought the rugged virtues of his native Norland planted them in this, the land in which to live. He made his life eminently real and useful and died honored by the country. The opportunities to achieve and usefulness are here, if they are used upon and developed aright.

There must be reformative works sequences deeper than this. It is a case of true love if his heart beats madly when he sees her decorated with carriers and complexion clay. Our spies tell us there is a quiet little beauty contest going on in England, with the Prince of Wales as the prize. He may seem pious, but he isn't laying up much treasure in Heaven while he is piling up property in his wife's name. There are approximately 387 tiresome talkers to the square mile, and most of them begin with the words, "That reminds me." Our own pet peeve is the chap who can't control his mirth as he begins the story and then can't remember how it goes.
