EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The only difference of the love in Heaven From the love on earth below, Is—here we love and know not how to tell it, And there we all shall know. —Constance Fenimore Woolson. CRIMINAL CAREERS END TRAGICALLY The criminal has no lease upon happiness or peace of mind. These are terms unknown in his existence. There is no seed of contentment in the life of a lawbreaker. He is in constant suspense in his fight against the constituted authorities. He is in perpetual fear of apprehension and punishment. He cannot trust others—the cannot trust himself. His ways lead beside the waters that are bitter with dread and hatred. The criminal carries a tragedy about with him, in his mind and heart. He feels himself to be a fugitive—an alien from the society of all who are good and law-abiding. He realizes, too, that he is in danger of bodily harm. He lies within the shadow of death at all times. And if he be a desperate criminal, he carries the fires of slaughter around with him in his own breast. He is a potential murderer. $N$ price is upon his head. Instructed to take him "dead or alive," some alert officer is liable, at any moment, to get the drop on him and at his slightest motion, to shoot him dead. It does not pay in any conceivable way, to be a criminal. It does not pay in happiness or contentment, nor does it pay, in dollars and cents. And it oftentimes leads to a quick passage into eternity for the criminal. President Coolidge also is making some political hay while the sun shines. FRAUD CHARGES MADE IN VETERANS' BUREAU Shocking charges are being made against the former administration of federal veterans' bureau hospitals. The charges center about Charles R. Forbes, at one time director of this bureau. The President Coolidge also is making some political hay while the sun shines. FRAUD CHARGES MADE IN VETERANS' BUREAU Shocking charges are being made against the former administration of federal veterans' bureau hospitals. The charges center about Charles R. Forbes, at one time director of this bureau. The sensational testimony inculpating Colonel Forbes was given by the representative of a contracting firm before the Senate committee which is investigating the veterans' bureau. If even a fraction of what this man alleges is true, there was flagrant mal-administration. The exact truth should be developed as to these charges. If it is found, beyond reasonable doubt, that fraudulent or questionable practice prevailed in the bureau, there should be relentless prosecution of the guilty. Few offenses could be more hideous than this. Here were tens of thousands of deserving service men of the World War, lauguishing for proper hospital facilities. If, as charged, there were irregularities in obtaining hospital facilities for these suffering veterans, that was a heartless, cruel, wholly inexcusable offense. If guilt of this nature is proven, the guilty should be convicted and penalized severely. Fire is a useful servant, if handled carefully; but a merciless tyrant, if handled carelessly. Ohio is never at a loss to find a "favorite son" to offer for the Presidency. Selfishness withers and blasts the finer impulses, as the icy blasts of winter and the scorching heat of summer blight vegetation. There should be no pot-shooting in California at any season of the year. Game should be protected against ruthless and unsportsmanly slaughter. President Coolidge is anything but a figurehead in the White House, as some predicted he would be. He is making his impress upon public affairs and public opinion. Patriotism begins and ends in the heart. The patriotism that comes only from the lips and manifests itself in loud noise, is spurious.

A real home is a place where the children come to the fire to dress. All signs point to a severe winter. Politician's hides are unusually thick; Little Dorothy never again will enjoy anything as she now enjoys using the word "whom." Classics are things that you can buy in cheap sets to give the bookcase an air of distinction. In this conservative country even the leaves that turn red soon lose their grip on things. It is comparison that makes social unrest. A jitney would satisfy anybody if nobody had a twin six. If only we could bear one another's burdens as cheerfully as we bare another's faults. No wonder Europe thinks us an infant. Some of her quarrels are older than our oldest legends. Of course Mr. Ford isn't a candidate, but wouldn't his love for farmland go good if he were. An educated man is one who can remember the crises that dismayed him at this time last year. The north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow; and what will the golfer do then, poor thing? The difference between a platitude and an epigram is that an epigram is more economical of Abe Martin WE guess th' only time some folks ever read is when they have their eyes tested.

One peculiarity about gripe "cures" is that they don't. Pity the poor patient when tuberculosis and hookworm are partners. TIAELY VIEWS "EUROPE'S DIPLOMACY SHAPED NOT TO AID BUT TO EXPLoit PEOPLES TO VARIOUS COUNTRIES." None other than the Omniscient, knows whether the Ruhr situation may precipitate another world conflagration as destructive as the fast war, declared Gov. John J. Blane of Wisconsin in a recent address before the German Club of Chicago. "And what are the interests involved in that contest? Identically those which have been involved in many recent contests," he continued. "Oil in Mexico; oil, not for the benefit of America, but oil for the benefit of international exploiters, disturbed our peace with Mexico until its recent recognition. Oil in western Asia—that was the struggle of Great Britain, France and Turkey. "In the Ruhr, steel, iron, coal—ah! there's the rub! Poincare, the attorney for the French steel magnates; Stresemann's connections I know not, but it is very clear that, with the industrial situation in Great Britain, behind the scenes, the steel, iron, and coal magnates of France, Germany, and Great Britain—with the part played by the United States steel trust unknown—the diplomacy of Europe is shaped For whom? The peoples of those nations? No! That diplomacy is all exercised in the interests of exploitation of the peoples of those nations." U. S.

One peculiarity about grippe "cures" is that they don't. Pity the poor patient when tuberculosis and hookworm are partners. The doctor saw that nature's law Was grossly disrespected; If those who spit would only quit, We wouldn't get infected. For a loaf that's soiled is a loaf that's spoiled and so the baker wrapped it. For prompt and efficient first aid work, give us a cool head and a handy bandage. You can't cure malignant tumors By applying cancer paste; Notwithstanding adverse rumors, He who does so dies in haste. The Germans have a saying probably correct, that "everybody has a little tuberculosis."

U.S. Diplomacy "Drifting" "Today America's diplomacy and international policy is a drifting one. It is a policy of watchful waiting. It promises nothing for the future but the possibility of future wars—wars with which we should have no concern but into which we are doomed to be dragged because of our shiftless international policies. "America can reestablish her traditional doctrine for international relationship without the consent of a single nation, and then, for the purpose of protecting the American continent, both north and south, against the aggressions and imperialism of Europe, a defensive force on land and sea will be the great antidote against wars, and with the reestablishment of that doctrine never again will it be necessary for an American soldier or sailor to leave the threshold of his country in the pursuit of protecting his country. Urges Cause of Fathers. "America's international policy should be to keep her hands off coal, oil, steel; keep away from protectorates; avoid 'spheres of influence,' 'balance of power'—in short, keep out of all foreign entanglements. History and experience, brought to us through bloodshed, through privations, through the greatest travail, compends us to the diplomacy and principles of our fathers as it had been expressed for a century and a quarter." Our expert alienists tell us Indians are men with children's minds. That being the case, "A little child shall lead them" takes on a new significance.—Red Bluff News. WEDNESDAY, OCT.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT GRATITUDE I'm feeling very sorry For arriving inquiries. They're knocking Ellis Island Every time they have a chance. The quarters do not please them, And the food is too low-grade. Upon my tender sympathies These roving wights have played. They criticise our charity. They pan our ways of life. Upon our hospitality They wage an endless grife. If we so worse than Europe are, Why do these kickers roam? If they don't like their treatment here, Why don't they stay at home? THE SOCKLESS AGE The women won't wear stockings This winter. That's the style. They'll face the chilly breezes And bear them with a smile. They'll save a lot of money, For paint does not cost much, Landscapes from knees to ankles They'll draw with dainty touch. With little painted figures They'll decorate their limbs, And bravely they will follow This last of Fashion's whims, The stocking trust will bellow And suffer for its sins, And Charity will cover A multitude of shins. They tell us Paris is very wicked just now, but over in Paris they say the same absurd thing about New York. You have to go away from home to get the news. It's a great game, lads, this love at first sight. There has never been one like it outside of Three-Card Monte. Rollo climbs to the upper deck of an excursion boat and he no sooner takes one look at Clarice, whom he had never seen before, than his eyes blur his heart skips every third beat. He has one of the soda vendors or a deck steward introduce him to Clarice, and after they have talked about the weather for one minute and four seconds, Clarice says she is chilly and Rollo asks her if she doesn't need something around her. She says she believes she does, so he puts his good right, pen-pushing arm around her, and they begin talking about how much it would cost to furnish a three-room kitchenette. By the time they get back to the dock Rollo's right arm is paralyzed into a permanent curve and he has to write his waybills next day with his left hand. Two days later they marry and settle down, and Rollo spends the rest of his life trying to settle up. If Clarice doesn't elope with a chorus man or Rollo doesn't sail for Calcutta on a cattle boat inside of six months, they may stick together until Rollo throws Clarice out of a third-story window or Clarice caresses Rollo lovingly on the left ear with a bag on TNT. Love at first sight is wonderful, of course, but it doesn't cost a cent to take a second look. FREE!
