EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS No thought of mine Can penetrate the deep design That forms afar, through buds and bloom, The purple clusters of the vine. —Mary Bradley REVOLUTION IN SPAIN IS PROSPECT The Melilla disaster to Spanish arms in Morocco in 1921 may lead to the disposing of King Alfonso and the overthrow of the dynasty in Spain. The Spanish parliament in attempting to fix responsibility for the military catastrophe, may have to pass upon charges that King Alphonso himself was responsible for the orders and policies which precipitated the debacle. The throne of Spain has withstood violent assaults and narrow escapes in serious crisis in recent years. But stern repression has nipped several incipient revolutions. Feeling against monarchism, however, has grown stronger and stronger in Western Europe and has enveloped Spain, with other powers. It would not be surprising to find this ancient dynasty crumbling before the onslaughts of republicanism. Respect for the Constitution of the United States should be based upon intelligent comprehension of that great charter. To this end, it would be well if all should read the Constitution through from end to end at least once a year. It is gratifying that here in California, under legislative enactment, the Constitution is read and studied too in the schools. The great instrument cannot be studied too much. Every boy and girl should be made conversant with its provisions and should be thrilled with its excellence. California's popularity among discriminating tourists and homeseekers is well maintained. Year after year, new friends are made, as new visitors come to this Golden State. All who come to California are charmed. Many surrender to its charms and come here to live permanently. FOOD FOR THE NATION IS PRODUCED HERE Fruits and vegetables for the whole country must come from Southern California. This section is the reserve ground for immense supplies for the dinner tables of the Nation. No other states or sections can produce so enormously.

This section is the reserve ground for immense supplies for the dinner tables of the Nation. No other states or sections can produce so enormously. The transcontinental railroads, realizing this, are enlarging their facilities for handling perishable freight with dispatch. The Santa Fe is doubling its tracks in anticipation of expanded rapid freight business. In the Imperial Valley and other fertile districts of this Southland section, wonderful development has been made. Climate and soil here has been adapted to the maturing of fruits and vegetables during seasons when production in other parts of the country is inadequate in quantity to supply demands. This opens opportunities here which are very alluring to growers. Petty prejudices and suspicions and selfish local interests should not stand in the way of the projected damming of the Colorado River and utilization of its water power and impounded waters. It will require many years, at best, to bring this mammoth enterprise to consultation. It should be started without undue delay. All seven states grant the Colorado Basin should co-operate heartily and with practical proximity. The Southwest should have the benefit of the immediate vexaspect of this vast undertaking. Yokohama Amundsen is taking desperate chances in his plans to cross North Pole by airship. It is a pioneer enterprise of the utmost there. The trial has not been blazed. There are great odds against success for San And yet the very intrepidity of the noted explorer is prophecy. ETRAP CONDITIONS AT MEXICALI Astronauts fire at Mexicali betokens firetrap conditions which starble in any city or town on either side of the Mexican catastrophe at Mexicali should be an effectual objecting the way to the betterment of fire protection every modern city or town should tolerate long rows of highly buildings. Against fires means protection of human life. In the several lives were lost. In many serious fires where traps, there is loss of life. It is humane, therefore, with wise economic policy, to provide safeguards of conflagrations. What should be done to those Chinese brigands means and other foreigners captive. But how accomplishing more harm than good? Once however, very punitive measures should be taken. But because of their political strength government nothing probably will be and other powers intervene with armed ENT IS IMPORTANT Rest has passed beyond the established and well established in California and Arizona important proportions. The MEMORIAL DAY May 30th, 1923 Dark and sad would be the hour to this nation when it failed to pay grateful homage to its greatest benefactors. The offering we bring today is due alike to the patriot soldier dead and their noble comrades who still live; for, whether living or dead, whether in time or eternity, the loyal soldiers who imperiled all for country and freedom become one and inseperable.

From Redlow to Camden, In all their silken best. An ankle is a marvel When first the buds are brown, And not a lass but knows it. From Stow to Gloucester town. And not a girl goes walking Along the Cotswold lanes But knows men's eyes in April Are quicker than their brains. It's little that it matters. So long as you're alice, If you're eighteen in April. Or rising sixty-five When April comes to Amberly With skies of April blue, And Cotswold girls are bridging With slyly tilted shoe. —John Drinkwater. NEW YORK LETTER (By LUCY JEANNE PRICE) Mme. Georgette Le Blanc, former wife of Maurice Materline may be the next theater-owner in our city. She has just sailed for Europe after spending the winter here, and expects to have her theater ready shortly after she arrives back in New York next October. It has been reported much of the financial aid back of her enterprise comes from a wealthy lumberman in the West. Ten thousand dollars for one penny seems a fair price. That is the value Junius Guttag of this city places upon he owns. It is the first coin to bear the initials U. S., he says, and the first coin upon which the decimal system was based. NEW YORK LETTER (By LUCY JEANNE PRICE) Mmc. Georgette Le Blanc, former wife of Maurice Materline may be the next theater-owner in our city. She has just sailed for Europe after spending the winter here, and expects to have her theater ready shortly after she arrives back in New York next October. It has been reported much of the financial aid back of her enterprise comes from a wealthy lumberman in the West. Ten thousand dollars for one penny seems a fair price. That is the value Junius Guttag of this city places upon him owns. It is the first coin to bear the initials U. S., he says, and the first coin upon which the decimal system was based. Its date is 1780. It is the size of a dime and is made of silver worth about three cents. Howland Wood, curator of the American Numatic Society confirms Mr. Guttag's opinion of the coin. Nell Gwynne has long been a favorite heroine of playwrights and song-makers, but never has been more twinkling and alluring than Laurette Taylor makes her in "Sweet Nell of Old Drury", which the Equity players are producing at the Forty-eighth street theater. Lynn Fontanna is in the cast, too, and those of us who rollicked through her performance of "Dulcy", are glad to welcome her back. Alfred Lunt plays the reprehensible and intriguing King Charles II. It is a gay performance and has converted us to costume plays. Kipling's insistence upon the beauty and poetry of machinery has at last been acknowledged by no less authority than the Salone of America. At their exhibition, which is the last big art event of the season here, an actual piece of machinery has place along side paintings and other works of the older arts. "Some of our contemporaries" said Walt Kuhn, of the Salons committee, "have recognized the artistic beauty of machinery by painting it and modeling it. Know that some machines contain all the qualities of modern Mr. sculpture, we have decided to exhibit them; It is entirely terest-situable that some day a piece of machinery will come to a black reverenced as a high form of artistic expression." S. P. thereabouts men toted pistols in our Western lands, such because it was the correct mode as for reasons of Southernness. That day has finally arrived on this edge of the still block. A wealthy society woman of Yorkers, has appealed to City Judge Boote for a permit to carry a revolver, steam she renting to prohibition sprees" take many a novel form. Along to four o'clock the other morning, late passersby were led to discover a stunning young woman in a flaming gown flipping wheat cakes in the window of a Funeral not far from the Metropolitan Opera House. Day in Los Angeles three minutes the restaurant was filled with people her, 41, a telling wheat cakes. They were grieved to discover that erion, who was frying them only for her escort and another sanitarium seated at a nearby table.

PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Correct this sentence: "Jack dear, said the wife, 'I told mother what you said and she has agreed not to leave for another week.'" Before the ceremony he wants to know when he can have her for his own; after the ceremony he wants to know when dinner will be ready. If there is to be a world court, let it be understood that Uncle Sam won't be court stenographer. He does not take dictation well. Let up hope that future generations will judge our times by the advertising sections of the magazine rather than the fiction. Brain fever isn't common enough to flatter mankind. No system of government will seem perfect until people are. In these dry times the way of the transgressor is hard to find. An undeveloped people is one that has little need of emergency wards. Still, even those who rise above the common level can retain on the level. About 97 per cent of us figure in the scheme of things only as innocent bystanders. If men are related to monkeys, we shudder to think of the remarks Eve made about Adam's family. There is no real demand for endurance tests in a world where taxes are what they are.

There is no real demand for endurance tests in a world where taxes are what they are. One way to attract a committee of ladies to your office is to neglect your regular morning shave. It is too much to ask us to recognize Russia. We haven't yet been able to recognize the symptoms. If a little girl comes back from a picnic reasonably clean, you know she didn't have a very good time. Another germ we wish to see isolated is the one whose pride demands that he pass every car on the road. The Republican party's showing in the next election will tell us whether the whole is equal to the sum of its parts.

It takes generations or one darned good guess in the stock market to make a gentleman. A minority may develop into a majority, but always at the sacrifice of its beautiful enthusiasm. Cutting through barbed wire to get compensation. The fervid orator never will seem as impressive as he was in the old days when he had celluloid cuffs to rattle an accompaniment.
