EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS He stays me falling; lifts me up when down; Reclaims me wandering; guards from every foe; Plants on my worthless brow the victor's crown, Which in return before His feet I throw, Grieved that I cannot better grace His shrine, Who deigns to own me His, as He is mine. —Henry Francis Lyte. MR. HARDING DISAVOWED COLONEL FORBES' WAY That Colonel Forbes was removed by President Harding from directing the veterans' bureau has been disclosed by testimony in the inquiry being conducted by a Senate committee. Certainly, he was relieved none too soon. That conditions were scandalous under his administration there seems to be abundance of proof to show. This whole deplorable outrage against disabled world war veterans should be bared fearlessly and constructively. The veterans' bureau should be put on plane to command the respect and confidence of the veterans and of the public. If any traces of previous bad management are lingering, they should be removed. Age is largely a matter of mental attitude. The person of many years who keeps young at heart maintains all the essentials of youthfulness. TRAFFIC IS DEADLY AND VERY COSTLY The traffic peril is most dreadful and alarming because of the number of human beings killed or maimed. This is the chief consideration in striving to abate the great hazards. But there is the economic side to be considered also. There is the millions of dollars outrightly lost in machines and other properties destroyed or damaged in traffic. And there is the economic value of the human lives thus lost, and of human beings crippled so that they become an economic liability, rather than an asset. Chicago had 31,604 automobile accidents on its streets during the year 1922, and from these it is estimated the material loss was more than $13,500,000. This year the losses will be greater. This hazard extends to every city town and village in the land. The traffic peril is most dreadful and alarming because of the number of human beings killed or maimed.

This hazard extends to every city, town and village in the land. No place is immune. Wherever there is travel, there are serious accidents. It is utterly impossible wholly to eliminate the perils of traffic. But it is possible greatly to minimize them. To this work of saving lives and property through greater care in driving careful persons everywhere should apply themselves. Everyone can say or do something, in some way, to better traffic conditions. Thanksgiving day should be observed in that spirit of thankfulness to God which manifests itself in works of benevolence toward others.

TURNUP CARNOT'S APPLES PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Recipe for rearing children: First, have more sense than the children. An optimist is a man who has a comfortable income from tax-free securities. Poor old Wilhelm! He was knocked out before the world was made safe for dictators. This age may be remembered as the one in which the graphic arts became pornographic. Our guess is that liberty in the Rhineland republic will speak with a decided French accent. Most of the bootleg patrons are in great cities, and yet people go to the country to hunt nuts. A man is old when the prospect of wearing knee pants and fuzzy stockings can't persuade him to do useless walking about. In the course of time the sinner can get forgiveness from everybody, except his wife's relations. We'd have more faith in this scheme of hiring a doctor to keep you well if doctors never got sick. Now as always, the world's visible supply of advice is created by men who never create anything else. Correct this sentence: "No matter who my daughter falls in love with," declared the mother, "I'll never interfere." Dignity is a pretty good thing, however, for the man who has no other means of hiding his craven spirit. Still, the girls of all ages have ABE MARTIN NO CREDIT Ike Moots, brown as a berry, returned t' work t' day, after a most enjoyable strike. Ever dog has his day, but th' feller that's known as good pay is allus welcome any where's. DINNER STORIES It was a negro ball game in Kansas City, declares Judge. The umpire was a slightly built, small voiced yellow lad. Along toward the seventh innning, with things looking bad for the home team, the local Babe Ruth came to bat. He was a 6-foot-three truck driver, and beside the umpire, looked like Colfath. Over came the first ball, rather wide, and the umpire called: "One strike." The giant gave the dictator a look, but said nothing. Another windup, and here came the second throw. The batter started but stopped. Mr. Umps called out: POEMS THAT LIVE THE LAST TIME I CAME O'ER THE MOOR The last time I came o'er the moor, And left Maria's dwelling, What throes, what tortures passing cure, Were in my bosom swelling; Condemned to see my rival's reign While I in secret languish; To feel a fire in every vein, Yet dare not speak my anguish. Love's veriest wretch, despairing, I Fain, fain, my crime would cover; Th'unweeting groan, the bursting sigh, Betray the guilty lover. I know my doom must be despair, Thou wilt nor canst relieve me; But oh, Maria, hear my prayer, For pity's sake, forgive me! The music of thy louge I heard, Nor wist while it enslaved me; I saw thine eyes, yet nothing fear'd, Till fear no more had saved me; The wheeling torrent viewing, Mid circling horrors yields at last To overwhelming ruin. scheme of hiring a doctor to keep you well if doctors never got sick.

Dignity is a pretty good thing, however, for the man who has no other means of hiding his craven spirit. Still, the girls of all ages have managed to be about what the men of all ages have desired them to be. We prefer the old-fashioned story in which the villain hit the heroine's neck. You are always made to feel that it is a private road when you meet a pretty girl driving a fine car. An apartment house is just like an old-fashioned flat, except that the rooms are no longer flat, but perpendicular. Heredity, as we understand it, is what makes a boy get all of his bad qualities from his father's side of the house. Correct this sentence: "Early hinting means nothing this time," said Dad, "we are too hard up to have any Santa Claus this year." It isn't always a yearning to be helpful that makes a husband offer to mind the roast while his wife goes to church. People once used a censer to provide perfume. Every time we meet a cake-eater, we wish there were a censor to delete it. Correct this sentence: "I'll have that tooth attended to," declared he, "just as soon as I can get time." Kansas City, declares Judge. The umpire was a slightly built, small voiced yellow lad. Along toward the seventh inning, with things looking bad for the home team, the local Babe Ruth came to bat. He was a 6-foot-three truck driver, and beside the umpire, looked like Goliath. Over came the first ball, rather wide, and the umpire called: "One strike." The giant gave the dictator a look, but said nothing. Another windup, and here came the second throw. The batter started but stopped. Mr. Umps called out: "Two — when the batter turned, eyed him, saying: 'Two what, nigger?' Umps gave him the up and down and finished his call, 'Too high.'" It was the dear old lady's first ride in a taxi, and she watched with growing alarm as the driver continually put his hand outside the car as a signal to the traffic following, according to Everybody's. At last she became exasperated. "Young man," she said, "you look after that car of yours and watch where you're driving. I'll tell you when it starts raining." A Gillie who had accompanied his master to a country house in Scotland was awakened in the morning by the household tapping at his door and saying: "Hoo'll ye hae yr bath, Tam, hot o' cauld?" "Gang awn wi yo. insle; d'ye tak me for a trout?" he replied.—London Morning Post. In warm climates the question of housing is not such a factor in the consideration of health, but the overheated and underventilated house of the cold climate is undoubtedly responsible for the greater prevalence of respiratory diseases during the winter months. A drugless home is a bugless home, And a bugless home is rugless; With open doors And hardwood floors— With the collar clean and jugless. Nor icist while it enslaved me; I saw thine eyes, yet nothing fear'd, Till fear no more had saved me; The wheeling torrent viewing, Mid circling horrors yields at last To overwhelming ruin. —Robert Burns. GO, LOVELY ROSE Go, lovely Rose— Tell her that wastes her time and me. That now she knows, When I resemble her to thee, How sweet and fair she seems to be. Tell her that's young, And shuns to have her graces spied, That had st thou sprung In deserts where no men abide. Thou must have uncommended died. Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retireds Bid her come forth, Suffer herself to be desired. And not blush so to be ad tired Then die—that she The common fate of all things rare May read in thee; How small a part of time they share That are so wondrous sweet and fair. —Edmund Waller.
