EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher HE IS ON HIS WAY Mr. William Jennings Bryan, having instituted general dryness and subdued the evolutionists, has drawn his trusty blade to destroy the social evil dragon. He notes the increasing use by woman of her recently acquired political powers and feels that he has tremendous backing in his new enterprise. Like Sir Launcelot of old, Mr. Bryan slashes right at the head of the dragon, first thing. He observes that society ostracizes the erring woman and accepts the erring man without any qualms of conscience or stomach. The single standard must be made to prevail. When woman standardizes by pulling down the erring man or receiving, socially, the erring woman, Mr. Bryan will consider the dragon is headless. But he realizes that even in this happy state of single standard, the tail of the beast may still possess enough of life to do considerable harm. There must be laws for control of those who break up families. "The fact," says Mr. Bryan, "that the aggrieved party could appeal for a restraining order would be of incalculable value us a preventative." To put Mr. Bryan's thought in plain words: When an outside gent gets to purring to often and too strongly in your family circle, yell for Daugherty and an injunction. Maybe Mr. Bryan can persuade women to socially receive erring women. Maybe he can persuade aggrieved husbands and wives to rely on public announcement rather than divorce suit. And maybe not. Anyhow, he is mounted, sword in hand, and on his way for the sex morality grail. Europe has no real valid reason or excuse for going to war again A vital point in education is lost if the training given is not thorough. PRESIDENT HARDING'S PLEDGE President Harding's pledge to the veterans in the Army General Hospital, at Denver, to use his power and influence to bring about just and considerate treatment for them from the national government, comes with good grace. This is the treatment that is to be expected. To fall short of this would be an inexcusable dereliction on the part of "the powers that be." Wounded, sick and disabled veterans of the World War should have fair treatment right now—not as some vague time in future. This is the least that a grateful, appreciative Nation could do for its heroic young men who, in the flower of their youth, staked health PRESIDENT HARDING'S PLEDGE President Harding's pledge to the veterans in the Army General Hospital, at Denver, to use his power and influence to bring about just and considerate treatment for them from the national government, comes with good grace. This is the treatment that is to be expected. To fall short of this would be an inexcusable dereliction on the part of "the powers that be." Wounded, sick and disabled veterans of the World War should have fair treatment right now—not as some vague time in future. This is the least that a grateful, appreciative Nation could do for its heroic young men who, in the flower of their youth, staked health and life and their all in the fight, to which their country called them. Generosity should mark the dealings of the government with these men who served the National and its cause so gallantly, and who, in that service lost health and became maimed in the line of duty. President Harding is saying things in his speeches which may decide his political destiny. The Colorado river pact should be agreed upon quickly and all seven states in the Colorado river basin should be in accord. This colossal work, so sorciely needed, should not be delayed unnecessarily. The Presidency of the United States, with its tremendous exactions and its evasion, calls for a trained, disciplined mind. The President should be a man of great executive ability, of poise, and of efficiency in administering. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING WHO IS MY FRIEND?—San Francisco Independent How many can measure up to the term "I am a friend!" The majority of us are looking for friends instead of being one. We all have our conceptions of what a friend should be, but we rarely turn the search light upon ourselves to see whether or not we are one. We think that to be a friend we need give our time and companionship only occasionally as it suits our convenience; that our friends should ask little of us. If we fancy the company of a new acquaintance whom we like to be with and upon asking him to join us on an excursion our invitation is politely refused we are disappointed, because we cannot have our way. We do not stop to consider whether our invitation fits into his plans, but declare somewhat bitterly: "He could go if he wished—next time he wont be invited." If we are deserving of our new friend's permanent friendship we will not be aggrieved; we will be happy in the thought that he knows best and perhaps the next time we may be more fortunate. Many of us are super sensitive to criticism. In taking up a grievance or pointing out a fault do we, first of all, put kindness into our voice, or do we show in our face, by expression, that we are consuming before we speak a word. A tactful kindly approach always softens the blow. After all, what right have we to sit in judgment even if we think we know more or should correct the fault? The other fellow may need setting straight but one who is a friend never fails to point out the error in the right manner and tone. Years of acquaintance do not make you a real friend. You may not have earned the right to the honor. It is possible you are thoughtless, selfish, inconsiderate of another's cherished views, may poke fun at them occasionally, and yet you wonder why your companionship is not more often sought when you like your friend so much. A great deterrent to being a friend is Success and Busyness. We become successful in our work and happily busy which makes us independent until a blow befalls, and then intuitively we want a friend, not remembering "Have I been one to him?" The only way to have friends is to be one, not only to those whom we are naturally attracted but to our daily associates many of whom would be buoyed by the knowledge...

WHEE YE-OWEE! ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT Old Richmond Temple, our faithful London correspondent, sends in the following this week: Latry, chef of the Savoy Hotel, makes women touch their toes after his best efforts at cookery. He is the regular recipient of compliments from the fairer and weaker sex. Perhaps the strongest economist he has received was noticed the other day, when a fashionable-dressed American woman, a trifle inclined to embonpoint, came out of the Savoy restaurant, stood on the doorstep, feet close together and solemnly bent down and touched her toes. She smiled contentedly as she straightened up, and then quietly sauntered out on the balcony overlooking the Thames. Presumably she was satisfied with the results of M. Latry's luncheon effort. NEW YORK LETTER By Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, June 30.—Not even the unusual giddiness of New York’s street clothes this season satisfies the newcomers from Southern and Eastern Europe, who have longed in vain to war again the vivid shawls and green skirts that they packed and brought with them to this country. But they have found a use for them now that hot weather is here, and the East side has burst into gorgeous coloring in consequence. Self-constituted civic censors put up a terrible protest last summer because the children of the district prepared themselves for the kindly showering by the Fire Department by taking off most of their clothes. Last week the hydrant showers were started again to give the children a chance for a little coolness; and the home-made bathing suits prepared by careful mothers for the avoidance of more visits of the shocked, emblazoned the whole setion. Making bathing suits for the children, it seems has been one of the winter tasks of the women in all of the foreign settlements and for them they have used the printed woolen shawls they brought from Prague, trouserettes of vivid silk, in orange, blue, red and use for them now that hot weather is here, and the East side has burst into gorgeous coloring in consequence. Self-consistent civic censors put up a terrible protest last summer because the children of the district prepared themselves for the kindly shower by the Fire Department by faking off most of their clothes. Last week the hydrant showers were started again to give the children a chance for a little coolness; and the home-made bathing suits prepared by careful mothers for the avoidance of more visits of the shocked, emblazoned the whole setion. Making bathing suits for the children, it seems has been one of the winter tasks of the women in all of the foreign settlements and for them they have used the printed woolen shawls they brought from Prague, trouserettes of vivid silk, in orange, blue, red and green, from Italy, and scarfs from Spain. Balkans, Hungarians and Russians have all contributed their bit of gayety and never were carnival days more brilliant than the hour when the firemen appear to turn on the hose. It seems to be a terrible thing to be away from England in the winkling season. I have no idea what winkles may be, but Claudius R. Taft, the weeping English boy who had already made three ineffectual attempts to get a free passage to England, appeared again the other day, seeking on the pier for a chance to be a stowaway because of them. He was stopped and warned against further efforts, but he told the reporters on the dock that he must get back home because it was the season for winkles, and his father, even now, is undoubtedly going winking. As he was escorted from the pier by a detective he stopped to ask when the next ship leaves for Liverpool. "Helen of Troy, New York" is the first swing into musical comedy by George S. Kaufman and Mare Connelly, but its trevety is as clever as those super-humorous authors achieved in "Dulce" and "Merton of the Movies." The music and lyrics by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby include one particular amusing song—"What Makes a Business Man Tired? Only a Business Man Knows." There is a gorgeous Semi-Russian ballet in which all of the celebrated trade-marks are reproduced, and advertising and efficiency experting come in for some subtle slams. Queenie Snith succeeded at the opening performance in "stopping the show" with her dancing and Helen Ford was a most attractive "Helen of Troy." The estate of a wealthy man was appraised the other day and it was found that while it could be valued at $1,796,162, it would have been much higher had not the great part of it been in occupied real estate upon which the late owner had refused to raise the rents. Rents everywhere else in and about this city were being raised, and properties increased in value accordingly. This man would not do that; his tenants were paying all they should be insisted. Consequently his values were kept down. Now who do you suppose this man was? A well known philanthropist? No, it was Richard K. Fox, publisher of the "Police Gazette!" SATURDAY, JUNE THIRTIETH, 1923.

PARAGRAPHS Radical Any wild man who would disturb your present graft. Greatness is three parts ability and seven parts responsibility. Perhaps it would be a good idea to teach less evolution and practice more of it. The Near Saat reminds us of near beer. It isn't nearly so exciting as it sounds. It may be that the League saved Austria, but the Allies began the cure some years ago. The conflicting ideas that spoil harmony in a party usually concern the identity of the logical party. The maniac behind bars is a sad sight but the one behind a steering wheel is even more depressing. Once more the Allies are agreeing concerning reparations, and now all that is necessary is for Germany to agree. Wolves are multiplying in Russia so it isn't true that Bolshevism discourages expansion of every kind. We must at any cost keep the greedy and unscrupulous Japs out of China so that the bandits may have a free hand. The moderns are losing faith in the terrors of hell. Nothing seems quite so terrible after you get accustomed to it. ABE MARTIN We're steerin' clear o' th' Darwin controversy, but we defy any buddy t' tackle us on th' Barnum theory. With all th' fightin' an' turmoil in Europe, we ought it' be glad we're llin' in America, even if we're only Democrats, or farmers. A sucker is one who thinks the "good things" are peddled about the country to give the small investor a chance. And so we are getting back to the standards of the Puritan fathers? Well, well, we do seem rather intolerant of opinions.
