Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS We, in our lower state, are infested with demons—the demons of selfishness, which hold us down from the fullness and perfectness of human existence. Yet the soul will not be defrauded altogether of its birthright; sometimes it soars and takes possession of its high estate. Then you know what it is to be glad to live.—Mary Clemmer Ames. MR. BONAR LAW MOURNED ABROAD AND HERE News of the death of Andrew Bonar Law, while not unexpected, is previous to the whole English-speaking world. America mourns him truly, for he was a true friend of America. He became premier of Britain at a tempestuous period. He came in to succeed the most illustrious world war figure in Europe, except the military commanders—David Lloyd George. But from the start, Mr. Bonar Law was handicapped by delicate health. In truth, his physicians warned him against assuming the exacting duties and responsibilities of the premiership. His tenure was short. Ill-health and growing political complications with which his waning physical strength would not permit him to cope, compelled him to give up leadership. For long years, in parliament and in the ministry, Mr. Bonar Law was a towering figure. He was not brilliant and spectacular, like Mr. Lloyd George. But he was able, influential and a masterly figure, in his own way. He left his impress upon much legislation and many important policies of the British government. Science has lost a gigantic figure in the death of Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz. His achievements in electrical experimentation and invention establish his reputation as one of the greatest scientific figures of this age. The Pacific ocean is unconquered by air. The greatest opportunity yet left in the world for a daring feat in aeronautics lies in this unaccomplished flight across the Pacific. It is to be hoped that American aviators may capture this honor. The visit of Mr. Lloyd George to America bids fair to be epochal in its influence upon international affairs. The great British statesman comes with a message—a message of peace-promotion. His influence is being felt on both sides of the Atlantic. The Pacific ocean is unconquered by air.

The visit of Mr. Lloyd George to America bids fair to be epochal in its influence upon international affairs. The great British statesman comes with a message—a message of peace-promotion. His influence is being felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Aerial flights, with aviators, refueling in the air, are demonstrably possible. The daring achievement of flying from border to border, refueling on the way, may be amplified in a flight from coast to coast, refueling on the way. There seems to be hardly any limit to the possibilities of aeronautics. A Good Place to Bank CAREFUL MANAGEMENT HAS MADE OF THESE BANKS THE OUTSTANDING FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN THIS COMMUNITY.

They get to loaf most of the time. "The demolished car was heavily loaded." So, we fear, was the driver. Go to church and learn about the hereafter, or go autoing and see it. We imagine that when Mr. Coolidge gets terribly excited he lifts his eyebrows. Ballad of the rum-runner: "And all dry agents smile on me while coming through with rye." We always wonder whether a Frenchman does that way to illustrate his conversation or to strop his shoulder blades. Before placing a high tariff on wheat, let's see if the stuff won't ferment and do something. Changes in the form of national government probably interest a henpecked husband very little. Sometimes we think that civilization is just a process of multiplying quick ways to get killed. When a man loses his memory and disappears, he usually forgets everything except how much he owes. There's one good thing about this peace. Few men will write memoirs to brag about their part in it. About the only thing European nations now have in common is a lack of confidence in the other fellow. Abe Martin Toll Binkley started on a little trip t/day incognito so nobuddy'll throw a dinner for him. Now, if President Coolidge'll杰 request th' newspapers photographers't lay off o' himself as well as his boys we'll switch over't him. DINNER STORIES Puderowski, prince of pianists, tells an amusing story of a lady who fancied herself as a vocalist. One day while playing the accompaniment to one of her songs, she came to the conclusion that the piano did not sound right somehow, and telephoned for a tuner. The man came, and found the instrument in perfect order. However, he pottered about for a while, pocketed his fee, and departed. A few days later his employer received another telephone. WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS Maj.-Gen, John F. O'Ryan As general counsel for the special senate committee investigating the conduct of the veterans' bureau under Col. Charles R. Forbes' regime, Maj.-Gen. O'Ryan is directing work of unearthing the facts connected with the alleged mismanagement and waste connected with the bureau. O'Ryan, who retired from active service in the U.S. army a few months ago, was the outstanding figure of the national guard during the world war. Among national guard generals he was distinguished as the only one who retained command of his unit from the beginning to the end of the war. He was the only national guard general who retained the rank of major-general after the readjustment of rank that followed the armistice. Genera; O'Ryan commanded the New York guard on the Mexican border in 1916, when war with Mexico was imminent, and established a reputation as a capable officer. He took the 27th "New York's Own," to Camp Wadsworth, Spartansburg, S. C., trained it and led it overseas in the spring of 1918. The division was sent to the British front and helped to break the Hindenburg line in the last great offensive. From the end of the war until his retirement he commanded the New York national guard. In 1921, he was named New York state transit commissioner. While he is best known as a soldier, he has had wide experience as a lawyer. General O'Ryan was born in New York city, Aug. 21, 1874. He was educated in the public schools and City college, from which he was graduated in 1893. He began his military career as a pri- When a man loses his memory and disappears, he usually forgets everything except how much he owes. There’s one good thing about this peace. Few men will write memoirs to brag about their part in it. About the only thing European nations now have in common is a lack of confidence in the other fellow. No well-bred girl will accept a ride from a stranger. It is a good idea not even to accept a light from a stranger. When the meek inherit the earth, what a time they will have getting even with those who now are arrogant. The strike is a memory now, but the dealer can still use it as an alibi when he sells you that kind of coal. If the dealer has learned to say "art" in that loving, reverential way, you might as well prepare to get soaked. An Aftianas pedestrian was run down by an ambulance. Just let us develop our teamwork and we can eliminate all lost motion. Correct this sentence: "I don’t care what the others wear," declared daughter hotly; "cotton ones are good enough for me." Morphine, cocaine, nicotine and caffeine are merely the active principles of the poppy plant, the coca leaf, the tobacco plant, the coffee bean and the tea leaf. Some of them stimulate, some inexorable all debilitate. Oh, the doctor rapped the baker and the baker wrapped the bread. Pudorowski, prince of pianists, tells an amusing story of a lady who fancied herself as a vocalist. One day while playing the accompaniment to one of her songs, she came to the conclusion that the piano did not sound right somehow, and telephoned for a tuner. The man came, and found the instrument in perfect order. However, he pottered about for a while, pocketed his fee, and departed. A few days later his employer received another telephone message from the lady. Her piano, she complained, had not been properly tuned. It was no better than before, and she was very disappointed. After receiving a reprimand from his employer, the hapless tuner made another trip and again tested every note only to find, as previously, no fault with the instrument. This time he told the lady so. "Yes," she said, "it does sound all right, doesn't it, when you play on it; but as soon as I begin to sing it gets all out of tune." — Literary Digest.

Those who were suffering from defects had notes given them to take home. Among the note-bearers was one of the name of Willie Jones, and the notes he bore was as follows: "Dear Sir: I wish to inform you that your son William shows signs of astigmatism, which ought to be attended to at once. Yours faithfully, J. W. Headmaster." In the afternoon Willie brought this reply: "Dear Sir: I don't know just what it is that Willie's been doing, but I walloped him well this dinner time and you can have another go at him if he isn't any better. Yours truly, William Jones, Sen." The fond mother approached the teacher anxiously, says Everybody's. "Oh, professor, don't you think my dear little Randolph will ever learn to draw?" "No, madam—that is, unless you harness him to a truck," calmly replied the professor. Intimate association with a careless consumptive means mass infection.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING RIGHT IS MIGHT IN U. S. A.—Fresno Republican Never anywhere does right meet wrong, in thought, but right wins. When right meets wrong, in action, frequently the issue is confused. There are rights on both sides, perhaps, and wrongs on both sides. Practical action does not sort out rights and wrongs. It takes time to do that. Right always wins the war, even if wrong wins the battle. So when we find an issue submitted before a body of people, it is rare to find that anything but right wins. When the governors of the various states of the United States were in session and considered national prohibition, they were for national prohibition and law enforcement. They were for right. They could not be wrong. They might have various personal attitudes toward the issue. They might have supporters that were favorable to booze, and feel kindly toward these supporters. They might have pet issues that were more important to them than any question about enforcement of the Volstead act. But faced directly with the question, they could take but one stand. The people of the United States are for right. They are for law. In this case, the majority of the people of the United States, like the convention of governors, feel that right and law coincide. THE HEROIC BIOLOGIST A prominent biologist who lives in New York town Has recently acquired a lot of notice and renown By saying that the women of this country and the whole Are growing very ugly. This is news, upon me soul! "Our ladies beautiful," says he, "will soon cease to exist." "They're heavy now of face and form and back and chest and writes." The European influence is changing fast, our face. We're raising damsels now with not much innate charm or grace. Beware, oh wise biologist. Say not that to your wife. I wouldn't make a crack like that to save my bally life. Perhaps you are a hero, and the truth's in what you say. But I would rather be a coward, living, any day.
