Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Yes or no is the hinge on which everything turns. Shall I yield and dishonor God, or shall I resist, and triumph in His might? There is no possible compromise; for compromise with sin is itself the most insiduous form of sin. —Dr. William M. Taylor Semi-Tropic Crops in California California semi-tropical productions are of importance. They give this state a distinction enjoyed by no other commonwealth in the Union. There is no other state which produces so much of semi-tropical nature, and in such variety. In the growing and marketing of these products of warmer climes California always will have important place. It never will have serious competition from any other part of the United States, because there is no extensive area in any other part of the Nation where climatic conditions are favorable to these crops usually found in tropical or semi-tropical regions. The Panama Canal is paying its way and rolling up surplus earnings. Colonel Roosevelt made a bold stroke at a very opportune time. Records Air-Written by Aviators American army aviators have distinguished themselves and the service they represent by remarkable aerial feats. Capt. Lowell H. Smith, who is a native son of California, and Lieut. John Richter, flying for records at San Diego, established two new marks and broke former records. For one thing, they stayed in the air continuously more than thirty-seven hours. They refueled in the air. They exceeded the record for endurance flight. In speed and in other achievements appurtenant to the tests they were making, these two aviators excelled. Tests of this nature are valuable in the development of aeronautics. They show excellence and defects and point to possibilities of improvement in all phases of aerial achievement. From these tests come suggestions for betterment and stimulus for additional advancement in aeronautics. The net result is useful ell H. Smith, who is a native son of California, and Lieut.

It will begin and end in talk, of course. Uncle Sam will not permit a recrudescence to bloody insurrections down there. The people have inalienable right to adequate supplies of fuel. No war over industrial disputes should be permitted to deprive the people of this necessary of life, or to boost its price out of reason. The hand of greed, in whatever guise it may appear, should be kept off the necessaries of life.

One reason why the price of coal can't be lowered is because coal isn't produced by farmers. We have such a rotten memory. Was the war aim to get Turkey out of Europe or Europe out of Turkey? There is nothing certain in this world except death and taxes and New York's cinch on the world series. Another good way to study the American language is to ask the father of a sixteen year old girl what he thinks of petting parties. Coolidge doesn't talk much, but the next Congress will make up for his shortcomings in this particullar. Patronage and patriotism begin the same way, and of late years they seem to have the same end in view. Ford won't run except under compulsion. We have one of the darned things with a disposition like that.

DOEMS THAT LIVE A ROSEBUD BY MY EARLY WALK A rosebud by my early walk, Adown a corn-enclosed bawk, Sae gently bent its thorny stalk All on a dewy morning. Ere twice the shades of dawn are fled, In a' its crimson glory spread, And drooping rich the dewy head. NEW YORK LETTER By LUOY JEANNE PRICE Not so long ago, when vacant apartments were many and rents were cheap, the unwritten law of Manhattan was that white and black could not dwell side by side as neighbors. A shift in everything, especially the housing shortage, has wrought great change in this respect. For the whites that have hung on in the Harlem section, there is an advantage. Rents had from them are from five to twenty-five, and sometimes as high as fifty per cent less than the amount received from the colored tenants. There are about 200,000 colored people in New York, and three-fourths of them are quartered within the region between Fifth and Eighth avenues, reaching from 125th street to 145th street and the Harlem river. Space meant for 100,000 whites is now stretched to hold 150,000 negroes. They are great people to take in lodgers, and perhaps no where in the city is there a more shift population. A trip through this section is interesting beyond account. All the life depicted in the recent colored reuces is actually lived and more. An atmosphere of means, good nature, and color, in the broad use of the word, pervades the happiest quarter in town. A ROSEBUD BY MY EARLY WALK A rosebud by my early walk, Adown a corn-enclosed bawk, Sae gently bent its thorny stalk All on a dewy morning. Ere twice the shades of dawn are fled, In a' its crimson glory spread, And drooping rich the dewy head, It seems the early morning. Within the bush her corvert nest A little linnet fondly prest; The dew sat chilly on her breast, Sae early in the morning. She soon shall see her tender brood, The pride, the pleasure o' the wood, Among the fresh green leaves bedew'd, Awake the early morning. So thou, dear bird, young Jenny fair, On trembling string or vocal air, Shall sweetly pay the tender care That tents thy early morning. So thou, sweet rosebud, young and gay, Shalt beauteous blaze upon the day, And bless the parents, evening ray That watched thy early morning. —Robert Burns. HERE AND THERE Celebrities who visit New York and write a book on America haven't anything on statesmen who visit Paris and grasp the European situation. If the Department really wishes to improve the postal service, it might install automatic licking devices at the stamp window. It's a fine thing for a man to be proud of his wife and to like to boast of her excellencies. But sometimes it isn't wise. Peter Hoffman, a street cleaner, has discovered that. The unfortunate thing for Peter is that he picks his first wife, to whom he was still married, as the listener to hear his praises of the second Mrs. Hoffman. He even took her home to see what a splendid choice he had made the second time. It so irked her that she had him arrested for bigamy. Certainly Miss Fontaine succeeds in making the witless attractive girl of this generation a joy rather than the nuisance she should be. A part slightly different has been given her in the new William Harris offering, "In Love With Love." That she does it so well is but an argument for her rare artistry and not that she has any limitations in the theatre. No such acting has ever been seen—that's the answer. She has a perception that is so delicate and consummate that her audience knows what the character she represents is thinking through her slightest indication of acting. Her technique is bedded in the same historic sense as that of M. Piske. She just "knows her stuff" and is destined to become the most perfect artist in the theatre, save—scarcely anyone. Season after season we hear traveled sophiticates tell us how such and such a "bit" in one of our revues reminds them of the Follies Bergere. And we smile and say, "Is it so?" Therefore it is to come to Broadway from Paris this season. They will open here in January. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER SEVENTH, 1923. Subscription Rate—In No. Orange co. per Yr. $3; 6 Months, $1.75.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING The American Legion is going to conduct a national referendum regarding the advisability of holding another arms limitation conference in Washington to deal with air armament. In doing so the Legion is bringing effectively to public notice one of the biggest questions of the future. Most people who have looked into the matter dispassionately agree that sea armament will be of minor importance hereafter, and land armament too, is destined to become obsolete—that the wars of the future will be fought and won in the air. France is so convinced of this that it has created the most powerful air fleet in the world, and dominates Europe accordingly. Its air equipment is said to include planes carrying 75 millimeter guns, planes with as many as six machine guns and their crews, enormous bombers, special fighting ships armed with battleship steel and actual troopships of the air. Great Britain, fearing French aerial preparedness, proposes to spend large sums to catch up. America, in turn, will be obliged to increase her air forces greatly or lose its power of self-defense. There is approaching a competition in air armament precisely like the costly and dangerous battleship competition from which the big naval powers are just emerging. It is wise to limit battleship competition by international agreement, it is wiser still to limit battleplane competition because the latter is yet in its early stages and comparatively easy to control, and the results of unrestrained competition in air fleets carrying troops, bombs and poison gas are far more dreadful to contemplate than the ravages of sea navies. Aircraft can reach anywhere, destroy anything and kill anybody. It is high time that measures were taken to restrict aircraft to the purposes of peaceful commerce and necessary police work.
