Prevent Plotting of Mexicans Here That a political plot to assassinate Francisco Villa was incubated in Los Angeles, is charged. There are circumstances which corroborate this accusation. Conspiracies of this kind should not be made on American soil. Let Mexicans brew their own plots, on their own soil. There has been far too much of this political conspiring on this side of the Rio Grande. In many instances Americans, having selfish interests to serve, joined in the plots. This formenting of insurrectionary spirit, below the border, through plots evolved in American soil, should be treated as an intolerable condition. When full diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico are restored, especial care should be exercised to prevent these unseemingly plotting in the United States. The government and people of the United States should uphold orderly government in Mexico. From this side of the border should go encouragement to establish government down there. Plotters should be driven out of this country, and Americans who join in these conspiracies should be restrained. Canadians did the graceful thing in welcoming President Harding in Vancouver. It was spontaneous hospitality—sincere honoring of the Chief Executive of this nation, with which Canada has been at peace for generations. The welcoming of Mr. Harding in Canada is indicative of the warm feeling Canadians have for the government and people of the United States. Weddings In June More Numerous than Ever The June wedding is becoming more popular in California. During the June recently ended the total number of marriages in this state was 6290, the greatest number ever recorded in June.

Weddings In June More Numerous than Ever The June wedding is becoming more popular in California. During the June recently ended the total number of marriages in this state was 6290, the greatest number ever recorded in June. The state of matrimony is not falling into a state of desuetude, by any means. There are a good many divorces, it is true. But there are a great many more marriages which succeed than there are marriages which fail. Home life here in California, reaches near perfection. Climatic conditions make for comfort during all seasons of the year. Beauty reigns here in profusion. The homes, physically, are very attractive. Community life, too, is clean and wholesome and conducive of happiness in the home. With so many favorable conditions it is not surprising that there are so many successful marriages and happy homes in California. Nothing is gained by dishonesty or questionable methods. The dishonorable act brings its retribution. In some form, at some time, the person who commits a deed that is morally wrong must pay in remorse, or reverse, or detection and consequent humiliation. Be assured, the dishonesty of today will find the dishonest one out tomorrow. They who read the Constitution of the United States frequently and studiously are profoundly impressed with the excellence of the American system of government and the wonderful balancing of powers, under this great charter. One respects the Constitution more as one becomes more conversant with it. Law is law, and should be respected, whether it be applicable to a great or small offense. It is the spirit in which law is treated that is all important. Each and every citizen should read the Constitution of the United States at least twice each year.

UM- NOT AS MUMMIFIED AS THEY LOOK NEW YORK LETTER By LUCY JEANNE PRICE Old Nick Brady has a daughter who assisted him in his pursuit of crime in the old thriller. How he would enjoy the present day rum running for plot! Smuggling of the old type is mild in comparison. Miss Isabelle Premm, "the girl dry agent," temporarily out of service, could fill the role of the daughter easily. Se is not yet 21, carries a pistol—a real one, loaded—when on duty, and furthermore is pretty. It was a part of her job to skirt the shoreline nightly in her automobile to keep track of the boats going in and out of the various inlets hereabouts. The rum runners frequently shot at her, and a not too chivalrous sloop captain threatened to throw her overboard if she persisted in her right of search. It was her love of outdoor work that drew her to this strange calling after she left private school, and she carried on for some time unbeknownst to her parents, until she could produce a haul of 650 cases, when her pride forced her to admit her unusual activity. Bribes without count have been offered her, and almost forced upon her, but she has remained steadfast, and will resume her work after a brief rest. The village does other things besides fake art and smoke cigarettes. It boasts of so high sounding an organization as The Greenwich Village Historical Association, which is to erect a monument in the vicinity of Macdougal, Spring, Varick and Charlton-sts., to commemorate the famous Richmond Hill mafia, once the headquarters of General George Hey-Sumbudys Been At My Older! POEMS THAT LIVE THINK OF ME AS A PASSERBY Think of me as a passerby who brought A snatch of melody along the street; Who sang to her own soul, and had not thought That you would hear—that you would find it sweet. Think of me as a gipsy girl whose name You did not know and did not seek to find, Content that out of nothingness she came, And sang, and—singing—passed and left tbehind Only a snatch of music that grew still. Is of small count. The world will not ask why Her song is changed—since still, since still she sings To her own soul, a song of passing things. ACROSS THE STREET A faithful home across my feet; Lends comfort to my care; Grips hearts to which my own can beat With joy beyond compare. But joy itself will ever cheat Some visions that were fair. And now could I cross the street What dreams are over there! PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN A little compliment now and then is relished by the grouchiest men. There always is a brighter side. Suppose people could buy gasoline on credit. Don't be an ordinary loafer. Get a job somewhere as foreman and get paid for it. A great name means little in America now, but a suggestive title saves many a dull picture. The open door in China isn't doing foreigners much good unless it leads to the cyclone cellar. Something should be done about this non-stop craze. An Arkansas man has hiccupped for 38 hours. The poet who speaks of the care-free days of summer has had no experience with white shoes. A reformer says sports make us tough. We notice that going to ball games makes peanuts that way. "Social unrest" is the uneasy feeling that you might get a little more if you would howl a little louder. Clothes make the manners, and the less a woman has on the easier The village does other things besides fake art and smoke cigarettes. It boasts of so high sounding an organization as The Greenwich Village Historical Association, which is to erect a monument in the vicinity of Macdougal, Spring, Varick and Charlton-sts., to commemorate the famous Richmond Hill mansion, once the headquarters of General George Washington. It was the house of one Abraham Mortimer and was famed for its engaging hospitality for years. It was the natural place for Washington to quarter on his return from Boston in April, 1776. The middle-aged generation of New York got a reflective thrill out of a slipper auctioned off with a lot of discarded stuff in one of our auction rooms. The fragile bit of footwear once belonged to Carmencita, the incompatible dancer of a quarter century ago. Never did a personality take hold of this city more completely that did this untaught child of Spain, and no opera favorite ever became the toast and the idol of Broadway and Fifth Avenue in shorter time. So much was she talked of so exaggerated were the economists heaped upon her, that the more daring members of the most exclusive set arranged private performances in their homes at which their guests were introduced to her—and that was a much broader step to take in those less daring days than todays generation realizes. The art of acting has at least received academic recognition. Columbia University has announced a course in it for next year, to be taught through co-operation with the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Plays written by students will be produced, as well as those which have attained success on the professional stage. ACROSS THE STREET A faithful home across my feet; Lends comfort to my care; Grips hearts to which my own can beat With joy beyond compare. But joy itself will ever cheat Some visions that were fair. And now could I cross the street What dreams are over there! —Lowe W. Wren. ABE MARTIN One idea o' takin' advantage of a accident insurance company is tryin' t' pick cherries while standin' on a rockin' chair.

The poet who speaks of the care-free days of summer has had no experience with white shoes. A reformer says sports make us tough. We notice that going to ball games makes peanuts that way. "Social unrest" is the uneasy feeling that you might get a little more if you would howl a little louder. Clothes make the manners, and the less a woman has on the easier it is for her to hide her confusion. If men can learn the raido code while asleep, perhaps we can teach the national conscience a code of ethics. What will France do to show her contempt for British opinion when there is no more German territory to occupy? A philosopher is one who can work on at the same old salary and thank God that the country is more prosperous. When a man says business will keep him away from his wife's afternoon tea, the business that concerns him is spelled "tee". Correct this sentence: "Father," said the modern boy, "may I have permission to take the car out tonight, please sir?" Men may not be more philosophical, but you'll notice that a bachelor doesn't feel shamed and cheated when his younger brother marries. About the only nation that seems to have any influence in the matter of German reparations is procrastination. TUESDAY, JULY THIRTY-FIRST, 1923. Subscription Rate—In No. Orange co.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS Editors are Saying FREAK WEDDINGS NUMEROUS (Santa Ana Register) The old fashioned idea that a wedding is a sacred thing to be solemnized with due dignity does not conform with the modern viewpoint, if one may rely upon the accuracy of the day's news. The popular idea appears to be that the success of wedlock depends upon the novelty of its accomplishment. A plain double knot is all that is expected of the minister heretofore, and it has always been regarded as entirely adequate security for the bonds of matrimony. But the time has come when a knot of more intricate design, or at least variation, is demanded. Judging by the frequency of reported divorce proceedings, a good many candidates are showing preference for a sort of "half hitch." The other day a couple from Huntington Park were married by radio. That is, the couple stood up with the preacher before the radio set in Los Angeles and had their wedding ceremony broadcasted. A pair of lovers at Venice last week dragged an unwilling minister into the surf and elad in bathing suits, he pronounced them man and wife. Another news item mentions a bride who strapped to a board on account of an injured spine was spirited away by an ardent admirer, who leaned her up against the wall while the ceremony was being performed. In Nevada two youngsters were married on a mountain top, sitting in their saddles. In San Francisco there was a marriage in jail and in San Diego a couple stood up in an airplane traveling 100 miles per hour and shouted "I do." The oldest idea was to keep a wedding a secret as long as possible. In many cases such wed- ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT By Roy K. Moulton There is a great discussion on how long a permanent wave lasts. We believe it should last at least until the lady gets home from the hairdressers. Shelby, Mont., wouldn't give a nickel now to see the battle of Gettysburg. The oldest golf club in Scotland was established in 1492, and probably the original members are somewhere telling each other of the wonderful scores they never made. The heat in Paris has been so intense for two weeks that business is suspended and the cable informs us the people just sit around and drink beer. It's different here. We just sit around. That little battle between Willard and Bull didn't amount to much. It didn't break any banks. The affair out in Montana exploded three. The Cherry Blossom 122 E.
