EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS To feel that each one of us has a place in the Divine order; to find it and keep it; to obey the highest law of our being; to live up to the duty that lies nearest to our own souls—that is the talisman to keep us in safety, that is the clue to guide us through the labyrinth.—Henry J. Van Dyke. Great Friendships of Great Persons That eminent trio—Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone—are on their occasional pilgrimage for rest, recreation and communing with Nature. They have been taking these outings together for years. Two distinguished men who formerly were their companions on these outings are gone—John Burroughs and Warren G. Harding. All were devoted lovers of Nature. All were kindred spirits. There is inspiration in great friendships—friendships which are unselfish and disinterested. There have been many such among prominent men in this country. These attachments are simple, childlike, unaffected. Men must have real intrinsic setting of character thus to cling to each other. When they leave the rushing marts and the haunts of the masses for the solitude of the woods and the wilderness, they are stripped of all affectation and artificiality and become known to each other for what they really are. Such friendships are admirable and disclose the nobler attributes of human nature. The people should insist that the brakes be put upon any and all extravagance and bad management in government. Carelessness Is Shown by Hunters Recent destructive forest fires in the region of Santa Barbara are believed to have originated with hunters carelessly handling fire. This is so much deprecated by forestry authorities that the entire Santa Barbara reserve, except the Monterey section, may be closed to hunters altogether. Carelessness Is Shown by Hunters Recent destructive forest fires in the region of Santa Barbara are believed to have originated with hunters carelessly handling fire. This is so much deprecated by forestry authorities that the entire Santa Barbara reserve, except the Monterey section, may be closed to hunters and campers altogether. It is deplorable that any who go into the forest reserves should abuse their privilege there by misusing fire. Anyone who has frequented woodlands knows the menace of fire there, particularly at this season. That is a species of carelessness wholly unwarranted which is marked by the starting of disastrous blazes in forests. It should be said to their credit that hunters who are real sportsmen—who think of the welfare of the community, as well as their own pleasure—do not indulge in reckless mishandling of fire in places where their recklessness means menace. Those who do forget and hazard lives and properties by fire should be punished severely therefor. The careful camper and hunter should co-operate with the forestry authorities in apprehending and punishing the careless ones. For the misdoings of a few, in this, casts discredit, in a measure, upon all who go into the forest reserves to camp or to hunt. The American government and people should remember, with perennial gratitude, the services and sacrifices the veterans of the World War made. Mr. Harding Intended to Write for Press Mr. Harding, had he lived, planned to do editorial writing for a prominent newspaper. His purpose was to set his views before the country in that way, to exert what influence they might upon public opinion. It has been the custom, since the days of Grover Cleveland, for Presidents retiring from the White House to write for the newspapers or periodical press. Mr. Cleveland wrote much for one of the leading weekly publications, for which he is reputed to have received goodly compensation. Colonel Roosevelt wrote extensively for newspapers and magazines after he left the White House. Mr. Taft also did considerable writing after retirement from the Chief Magistracy. Woodrow Wilson, had his health permitted, would have written much for the press after quitting the White House. He has written recently a magazine article of thoughtful tenor. It is high compliment indeed to the power and influence of the newspaper and magazine press that ex-Presidents should turn unquestionably to the printed page to reach and to influence their countrymen. Europe for generations has sown the wind of militarism. It is now reaping the whirlwind. The people should educate themselves to demand fewer laws and with the quality of all laws bettered. Teach the child obedience to the laws and ordinances of home. When it grows up it will be inclined toward obedience to laws, ordinances and regulations of the country.

LA BELLE FRANCE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS DEPICIT RECONSTRUCTION BUDGET FRANCE'S WAR DEBT TO U.S. BILL PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN A man is old when he doesn't wonder pensively how he would look in knickers. Patriotism is just the triumph of participation over the evidence in the case. Savages inflict punishment on themselves in the name of religion. We do it in the name of democracy. As a general thing, frost can be expected four months after the appearance of the first fall frocks. It must be nice to be so wise and great that you don't feel ashamed to enjoy the things common people enjoy. A free country is one in which there is just enough risk about free speech to make it a sporting proposition. That Darwinian theory doesn't seem so unreasonable when you observe youngsters standing on street corners to stare at women. The type of mind that is horrified by a split infinitive doesn't believe in splitting anything except hairs. You can say one thing for the motorist. He is sport enough to flush his pedestrian before bringing him down. ABE MARTIN NEW YORK LETTER By LUCY JEANNE PRICE Undoubtedly the most worshiped landlord in this city of all too many landlords is Max Dick. While it is also beyond doubt that there are certain other landlords whose feeling toward him is that of anything but worship. For Mr. Dick is the owner of a big tenement house on Rivington street, where it is impossible to get a home unless you have children to take into it. In 1908 this unusual landlord offered $500 for every pair of twins born in the house and $150 for any family having nine children. There are 225 children in the house. More than that, in the years that he has owned the building, and it has been at least twenty, he has never raised the rent and has never ousted a jobless tenant. The building is called "The House of Barnes." Max Dick came to this country forty years ago, penhiless from Austria, and in spite of his peculiar business methods, he has succeeded. POEMS THAT LIVE TO MY MOTHER How fair you are, my mother! Ah, though 'tis many a year Since you were here. Another storied yacht is about to be scrapped in New York shipyards. This time it is the once famous "Half Moon," owned by the German Kaiser, and the scene of many of his travels. Booth Tarkington, the Gentleman from Indiana, is to have another play on Broadway soon. It has been named "Magnolius" and will have Leah Gosnell. That Darwinian theory doesn't seem so unreasonable when you observe youngsters standing on street corners to stare at women.

He is sport enough to flush his pedestrian before bringing him down. Progress waits always upon the slowest. The sub-title must remain on long enough for the lowest rmon to spell it out. Never use your knife that way while eating. Tonsils can give trouble enough without being annoyed. A bride and groom have gone honeyjuicing in a plane, and we trust they will get back home before they have their first falling out. "It's a funny language. A man deliberately fills up on hootch, and deliberately steps on 'er, and then we call the result an accident. There is one good thing about the clinging-vine woman. She doesn't stop clinging when she meets another man with a bigger income. One advantage in driving slow is that the idiot you are meeting will have greater momentum and will knock you out into a soft plowed field. We pass the things that offer hope and spend our dough for worthless dope. If you'll go to bed for a day or two, you'll get well quicker than you usually do. The light that shines in student eyes—criticize. (Protected by Associated Editors) DOEMS THAT LIVE TO MY MOTHER How fair you are, my mother! Ah, though 'tis many a year Since you were here, Still do I see your beauteous face, And with the glow Of your dark eyes cometh a grace Of long ago. So gentle, too, my mother! Just as of old, upon my brow, Like benedictions now, Falleth your dear hand's touch; And still, as then, A voice that glads me over much Cometh again, My fair and gentle mother! How you have loved me, mother, I have not power to tell, Knowing full well That even in the rest above It is your will To watch and guard me with your love, Loving me still, And, as of old, my mother, I am content to be a child, My mother's lore beguiled From all these other charms; So to the last Within thy dear, protecting arms Hold thou me fast, My guardian angel, mother! —Eugene Field. Another storied yacht is about to be scrapped in New York shipyards. This time it is the once famous "Half Moon," owned by the German Kaiser, and the scene of many of his travels. Booth Tarkington, the Gentleman from Indiana, is to have another play on Broadway soon. It has been named "Magnolia" and will have Leo Carrillo for the leading man, and Martha Bryan Allen for the leading lady. Miss Allen has appeared to advantage with the Theater Guild in "The Devil's Disciple." Booth has a nice way of making his players happy. Before a production, he always invites them up to his magnificent summer place at Kennebunkport, Maine, and gets them all crazy about him and Mrs. Tarkington. After that they understand his idea better and come back to brag that they know their author, not a frequent honor in stage method. When you once know Tarkington you believe implicitly what he would be the last person to insist—that he is one of the greatest writers living. Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue has conceived of a proposed building on the site of Madison Square Garden eighty stories high. Its nearest match is the Woolworth with fifty-eight. The sketch is fantastic and inconceivable, but none knew better than Goodhue. The proposed structure has the tiered effect of all the new public buildings here and because of its height makes a veritable shaft of stone with a slender spire on top which will seem to prod the clouds.

Our idea of a slacker is a man who cuts out his radio machine when they begin reading the annual crop report of Iowa for 1876 or "Hog Culture in Missouri." A radio fan should be true to the game and stick to the finish. No great ends in science are gained without some suffering. They have invented a baby cap that can be folded and carried under the arm, but they have not yet invented a baby that can be shut up. WHAT THE EYES TELL What does our human eyes tell From the people and their fate. Which of the eyes has in them love And which of them has in them hate? Which of the eyes would bring to you Heart's rest, joy and true delight And which of the eyes have secrets From where it shines sorry and fright? Eyes, eyes, eyes, our dear, lovely eyes! Through every eye a world looks out. Every eye has millions of secrets. Of golden rays or grief and doubt. Eyes of blue, eyes of gray and black, In every eye we can find. All different secrets from our heart. And soul and our human mind. —Nathan Cantor. If we'd give them a chance, our own tissues would correct three-fourths of our minor physical ailments.
