EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Adversity borrows its sharpest sting from our impatience. Bishop Horne INDIANS NUMBER MORE THAN FORMERLY Indians oftentimes are referred to as a "vanishing race." But they have not been vanishing. There are more Indians in United States today than there were twenty years ago. The population of the United States today, according to a census completed, is 344,303. Twenty years ago the count of Indians was 270,238. This increase, of course, is not particularly significant. It does not create a "come-back" of the Indian race—to use the common term. The Indian, as a race, is vanishing. Either by death or marriage, the redman soon will have become extinct as a race. The extinction of the Indian has had its pathetic phases. The profuse apologists for the paleface cannot conceal the fact that Indian, in many instances, has been treated dishonestly and lessly by the white man. Much has been done to try to atone treatment. But the stigma never will be altogether removed. Dominion of this continent by the white race was inevitable, this domination is defensible, in the orderly progress of land. But cruelty toward the aborigines of this continent is not possible. The next time there is a settlement between the coal miners and settlers, we would suggest that it be enlarged into a triangular with the consumer representing the third and heretofore unnotable. Respect for law is not real respect unless it manifests itself in our observance of law. Protect the song birds. They are among the most delightful creatures in California's realm of Nature. David Lloyd George will leave the United States held in even greater esteem than he was held before he came. we would suggest that it be enlarged into a triangular with the consumer representing the third and heretofore unof angle. Protect for law is not real respect unless it manifests itself in observance of law. Protect the song birds. They are among the most delightful in California's realm of Nature. David Lloyd George will leave the United States held in even easier than he was held before he came. Europe must bury its grudges and abandon its militarism believe can have peace and prosperity. There is an element in Mexico which has yet to learn that politicies in a free land are settled by ballots, not by bullets. The open air is the open road to health and vigor. Travel this often as you can. It means longer life and greater efficiency. David Lloyd George is an "ex" in British politics at present. But be a "next" in the near future. His political star is rising, and indications. Tourists and visitors from afar with smiles and handshakes feel that they are truly welcome in California. Microscope is no less wonderful than the telescope. The hugs of creation are as marvelous, in their way, as the huge to be hoped that Federal taxes on small incomes may be low. The man of limited income feels the pinch of this than the more opulent person, even though the latter pays less surtax. Too much genius in David Lloyd George to be a downpolitical figure for long. He has lost a great and useful man in the death of Andrew Law. An enormous volume of building and the huge total of bank reported from cities and towns all over California indicate prosperity and material advancement.

PROGRESS CONSERVATIVE The Conservative is opposed to most changes in government. He is sometimes known as the "standpatter." He has great reverence for the antiquated customs of our fathers. If he had his way there would be very little progress in our political life— SAY THAT'S NO WAY TO CATCH A FISH! YOU'LL TURN THE BOAT OVER! RADICAL The radical in politics is generally considered our country's greatest liability. He takes issue with everyone whose opinion differs in the slightest degree from his own. The word compromise is not in his vocabulary— YOU HAVE GOT TO "GIVE AND TAKE" IN THIS GAME The radical in politics is generally considered our country's greatest liability. He takes issue with everyone whose opinion differs in the slightest degree from his own.

POLITICS The progressive holds tight to the fundamentals of his reed, but is always willing to compromise on details. On his shoulders rests the responsibility of our government, for he generally has his way in the end. Now Is the Time ! When stores are carrying large sales, it is the time to buy.

Nearly everybody agrees that they should be lower. No wonder about that, when the cost of government, national, state and local is now $100 a year for every man, woman and child in the country. How to lower taxes is the question. Here are four suggestions from Senator Smoot, who has made a specialty of public finance: First, support the national budget system. This remedy assumes similar budgeting of expenditures, and living up to the budgets, in state, county, township and municipal governments. Second, adopt a constitutional amendment to prohibit further issuance of any tax-exempt securities, to prevent legal tax-dodging by big capitalists and make it harder for extravagant administrations to obtain funds. Third; turn down all new proposals for joint federal and state expenditures, such as those now made for good roads, because they encourage states to spend more money than they can afford. Some of these proposals are debatable, but all of them deserve consideration. The last one alone, which is the least debatable of all, would save American citizens a billion or two a year if they heeded the suggestion. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT VALUE OF A HUSBAND A returning traveler tells us That over in Russia today Women will pay a million rubles For a husband. They think That if they are married They will be safe from persecution. Any sort of a man can get a bride And the dot of a million rubles, All of which is very good. But the nut of the argument is Not so complimentary to the men The true worth of a husband Who brings a million rubles Is less than thirty cents. There is one magazine in this country edited by a boy twelve years old. We would not be surprised to find that a good many of the other magazines are, too. Returning traveler says the natives of Mesopotamia do not like to work. Mesopotamia is more civilized than we thought. LITTLE STORIES FROM REAL LIFE Women will pay a million rubles For a husband.

He could but didn't boast of an ancestor who while trading with the Indians originated the return-when-empty system until recently in vogue. Like the majority of folks in that section, Silas's parents considered their tribe as the most important vertebra in the backbone of the country. When our young hopeful became able and willing to leave home, it was decided that busy New York was a fertile field for him to start his public career. In spite of his bringing up, Silas was bright, and he hadn't any more than paid the first and last two months' rent before he realized that his label was wholly out of order on this particular island. He changed his name to Tony Petruccio, and all went well until a rival detected him eating pumpkin pie on Saturday afternoon. The investigation which quickly followed this act of treason disclosed the fact that Silas was not a genuine Manhattan American. The enraged public jehued him out of town. Back on his native soil, however he was able to realize his ambition to serve his country. He landed a job keeping the fence around Plymouth Rock in repair and thereby prevented the controllers of the country's deafness from chipping the relic to pieces in their patriotic frenzy and selling them as precious stones.—W. J. F. A hard coal settlement is always certain, so far as the consumer is concerned. An Arkansas congressman whose political slogan is "God first, then Arkansas," embraces some wide extremes. The list of presidential possibilities shows us that the man who said nothing was impossible was almost right. Among these most violently opposed to child labor are the flappers. There is one man in this town who knows how to make a fountain pen give down the ink. He was brought up on a farm, milking cows. LUCRATIVE LOVIN' Sing me a song of love, dear heart, Of lips and a trysting tree; Of love and a silvery moon, Sing me a song that sells, dear heart, Sing me a lilting tune, And share the cash with me. —Lord Jeff. A scarcity of tobacco is predicted. There is a scarcity of it now in some cigars we get. We have about come to the conclusion that the party who names the race horses is the same one who names the cigarettes. SOME TEAM, WHAT?

The blond telephone operators in several hotels know you. You carry a brief case gracefully and your language is pedantic. One day you meet an insignificant looking chap and you tell him all about the conditions all over the United States. The "insignificant looking chap" happens to be one of the powers in Standard Oil, says Marcel Steinbrugge. You are a lady and can trace your ancestry to a king. This king may have had his failings; but you are one of his descendants. You talk a lot about it and the crowd listens to you. One of the claips who go to make up that crowd happens to be a cousin of the Prince of Wales. You have written a few stories which a magazine has published. There is an "atmosphere" of literature about the tea. You warm up and wax loquacious about yourself. The host comes forward and introduces you to John Galsworthy. SETS AND SUPPLIES RADIO ROBT. V.
