EDITORIAL AND FEATURES
An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday
Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher
PRESIDENT IS RECEIVED CORDIALLY.
President Harding's journey across the continent is in the nature of a peaceful triumph. The country has well recovered from the direful effects of the World War. Animosities has been allayed. While there are sharp differences of opinion, in politics, yet good nature prevails throughout the land.
Mr. Harding is liked personally. The people are prospering and they are ready and eager to greet their President, regardless of his politics.
The good will and harmony existing among the people, throut the land, recall the days of President James Monroe's administration, when there was no war and when the spirit of good will was so strongly manifest among the people that historians refer to it as "an era of good feeling."
From the earliest days, after discovery, America has drawn Europeans, bent upon adventure or to settle and make homes and fortunes. The American colonies, in the early days, grew rapidly. And after the colonies achieved independence and after a Constitution was framed and this became a Nation, the call of America to the world was even more insistent. And so on, down through the generations, America has been the magnet that has drawn millions upon millions. And this magnetic power persists.
Since it has been deemed necessary to limit the number of foreigners entering this country as immigrants, there has been a merry rush of foreigners to get in on each year's quota from the countries affected. This proves conclusively that America is regarded as a land of exceptional freedom; a land of exceptional opportunities; a land where the honest, industrious, well disposed foreigner may "make good" as he can not in any other land under the sun. The United States deserves the fair reputation it has on this score.
President Harding is a good "mixer," as the politicians say. He mingles with the people in truly democratic fashion. He likes them and they like him.
WOMEN SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Western Federation of Women's Clubs has entered upon a movement which should be productive of good results. The federation convention adopted resolutions demanding more respect for all legal enactments and less crime news in the daily press. This is a field of effort and influence in which women should be able to do much good.

This is a field of effort and influence in which women should be able to do much good.
That there is lamentable disrespect for law in this country is unquestionable. That women can counteract this, in large measure, by exerting their influence in favor of strict enforcement of law and consistent obedience to law, cannot be gainsaid. This is a field of effort and influence in which, it might seem, women's clubs well might exert themselves.
As to publication of crime details and morbid sensationalism in a certain type of newspapers, this, too well may receive the corrective attention of the organized women of the country. The more responsible newspapers already are excluding disgusting details of crime and are subordinating criminal news. This is as it should be. The vitiating influence of crime details should not go into the homes of the land. The good women of clubs and other organizations well may sponsor a movement to eliminate press sensationalism of the prurient sort.
Reckless walking in traffic should be prohibited just as reckless driving is. The pedestrian should be made to exercise due care in traversing the streets and in negotiating crossings.
SPECULATIVE GAMBLES ARE COMBATTED
Speculative gambling in grains and necessaries of life is strenuously antagonized by Senator Capper, and other members of congress belonging to the so-called farm "bloc." The "squeezes" and other methods employed by the speculative gamblers are denounced as being harmful to the interests of the farmers.
It should be unlawful to speculate in any necessary of life in such a way as to affect prices. The producer and the consumer should be protected against the manipulations of those who create fictitious prices. Everything that necessarily enters into the daily life of the people—everything that is of general consumption, should be freed from the hands of speculative greed. It is to be hoped that Congress and State legislatures shall legislate along this line.
There are sound and profitable stocks and securities, in which it is safe to invest. But there are others which are not at all safe—some being arrant frauds. The public should look carefully into any proposed investment in stocks.

Whatever shortcomings may develop on President Harding's Alaska trip, loneliness won't be one of them. The passenger list reads like the social register at a Washington White House party. In addition to the official party there is a score or more of secret service agents, newspaper correspondents and flunkies of one kind or another. All in all it looks like a sociable little party.
The official party consists of President and Mrs. Harding; Secretary and Mrs. Work; Secretary Wallace; Secretary and Mrs. Hoover; secretary to the President, Christian and Mrs. Christian; Speaker Gillette; Admiral Rodman; Brig. Gen. C. F. Sawyer, the president's physician, and Mrs. Sawyer; Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Jennings; Mrs. Frank Kieler, friend of Mrs.
Christian; Capt. Adolphus Andrews, U. S. N., and Mal. C. M. Baldinger, aldes; Lieut. Com. Joel T. Boone; Judson C. Welliver; Commissioner Spry of the land office and Mrs. Spry; Col. W. J.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT
WEATHER NOTE
When asphalt's melting in the street—I like it,
When others kick about the heat—I like it.
When there's not a breath of breeze—and not a leaf stirs in the trees.
And other folk perspire and wheeze—I like it,
When it's a hundred in the shade—I like it.
To me the sunbeam's torrid kiss—Is unalloyed and bliss.
I often write darn lies like this—I like it.

There is one thing to be said of those Chinese bandits. They do not make their captives eat chop suey, because it is never made in China.
After everybody else has taken a crack at having a special "day" why not have one for the taxpayers?
There is always a sugar shortage in some localities if you give "sugar" its slang interpretation.
DESIDIRIA
Surprised by joy—impatient as the wind—
I turn'd to share the transport—O with whom
But Thee—deep hurried in the silent tomb,
That spot which no vicissitude can find!
Love, faithful love recalled thee to my mind
But how could I forget thee? Through what power
Even for the least division of an hour
Have I been so beguiled as to be blind
To my most previous loss—That thought's return
Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore
Save one, one only, when I stood fortorn,
Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more;
That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.
