Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS O God within us and above, Close to us in the Christ we love, Through Him, our only Guide and Way, May heavenly life be ours today! —Lucy Larcom TOURISTS ARE COMING IN THRONGS Transcontinental railroads brought to Southern California, during October, the greatest number of passengers from the East and Middle West that ever came in a similar period. The outlook for the winter is particularly bright, as to numbers coming here to spend the season, and many of them to buy homes. Besides the great numbers coming by railroad, more than ever before are coming by automobile. They are coming by families, and by caravans of families from the same locality or state or section. This is a mode of transportation which did not exist just a few years ago. But the number coming by auto will increase from year to year. Improvement of highways is giving good roads throughout the whole transcontinental course. This makes automobile travel a delight. Many like to come leisurely and to camp along the way. Southern California should make these desirable comers feel welcome. Pains should be taken to show appreciation of their choosing this section as their temporary or permanent home. Their coming here should not be taken as a matter of course. It should be remembered that California is not the whole country—that, while this state has many very great advantages, yet there are other states and sections bidding strongly for the favor of tourists and homeseekers. Those who come here do so because they prefer this state and section to other states and sections. Southern California should show these good people that their favor is gratefully received. It is taking Europe much longer to settle the terms of peace following the World War than it took to wage the war, from beginning to end. PRESIDENT IS TO URGE COLORADO It is taking Europe much longer to settle the terms of peace following the World War than it took to wage the war, from beginning to end. PRESIDENT IS TO URGE COLORADO CONTROL President Coolidge, according to Washington news dispatches, is very strongly committed to the policy of bringing flood waters in the Colorado River under control. He will urge the consummation of the compact among the seven states of the Colorado River Basin. Six of these states have ratified the agreement. Only Arizona is holding out. Assurances come from that state that its legislature probably will accept the compact soon. With this accomplished, the way would be clear for legislation by Congress in conformity with the agreement among the states interested in distribution of impounded waters and of power rights. This great work should not be hindered by any captions or selfish opposition. The material welfare of the whole Southwest would be enhanced by the damming of the Colorado, to control its floods; to provide impounded water to reclaim millions of acres of potentially fertile land; and to generate power in enormous volume.

An old master is a man who could paint almost as well as the forgers who copied him. The motorist of yesteryear spent a lot of time under the car, but he wasn't pinned there. Things have come to a queer pass when we can look at Europe and thank God for Mexico. France has only herself to blame. She is trying to collect reparations without a slogan. Incorporating authors isn't new. Most of Dumas is incorporated in the work of moderns. The most exasperating man is the one who calls on your busy day and is so polite you are ashamed to cuss him. For that matter, one-half the world sees no particular reason why the other half should live. This republic is an organization of independent states, each of which delights to reveal the others sins. You can say one thing about this gland craze. It gives the old appendix a breathing spell. If you will work hard and save your money, you can retire after a while and be bored to death. It seems to be a rule this year that all conventions must call the roll and then condemn the Klan.

POEMS THAT LIVE UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE Earth has not anything to show more fair; Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty This city now doth like a garment wear. The beauty of the morning: silent bare. DINNER STORIES There had been a blowout, and the father of the family was per-spiringly and profanely changing tires, according to American Legion Weekly. I don't see why you have to talk that way," said his wife reproachfully. "You act as if it were a total loss. You never see the good in things." "Well, what good is there in this?" "Why, it tickled the baby so. He laughed right out loud when it went bang!" An American friend just over from the states, says Passing Show, London, dropped into the Passing Show office with the latest joke on the American passion for standardization. A man was being questioned by an employer on his suitability for a fairly important job as a mechanic. "But," said the employer, "are you an all-around man—a thoroughly trained mechanic?" "Oh, yes," the man assured him; "for six years I had experience at the Ford works." "And what did you do there all that time?" "Well," said the man, "I screwed on nut 467." A familiar figure in the political world stalked through the lobby of the St. Francis hotel in San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "What party does he belong to?" asked the Chatty Guest. "Shush!" warned the Wild Wag. "He would be horribly offended to hear that question. You should ask what party belongs to him. When you practice prevention, you're fortified physically. The only danger connected This republic is an organization of independent states, each of which delights to reveal the others' sins.

But if it's an overdraft you get the air promptly. Coolidge is a disappointment in some ways. There's no fun in nagging at a man who won't answer back. The honeymoon is over when he forgets to shave in the morning, and she says: "I believe I put an onion in this potato salad." When the average man says he wishes to increase his earnings, he means only that he wishes to increase his gettings. Fame is a brief season in the spotlight under the eyes of people who will follow the spotlight when it moves to another. In England they make insanity a cause for divorce. Over here it is merely the actuating motive. The typical American ambition seems equally divided between passing another law and passing another car. Correct this sentence: "I'd be glad to go to the movies with you, mother," said Bobby, "but I haven't finished my geography yet." UTON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE Earth has not anything to show more fair; Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty This city now doth like a garment wear. The beauty of the morning: silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theaters, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky, All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did the sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour valley, rock or hill; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will; Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! —William Wordsworth INSURANCE FIRE, BURGLARY, PLATE GLASS, COMPENSATION, PUBLIC LIABILITY, BONDS OF ALL KINDS; AUTOMOBILE, HEALTH AND ACCIDENT.

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS William J. Fields William J. Fields, former Democratic congressman, known as "Honest Bill of Olive Hill," was elected governor of Kentucky by the surprising majority of 40,000 over Charles I. Dawson, Republican candidate. Fields was born at Willard, Carter county, Kentucky, Dec. 29, 1574. He was educated in the public schools of Carter county and the University of Kentucky at Lexington. He was married in 1893 to Dora McDavid of Rosedale, Ky. Mr. Fields engaged in farming and real estate operations at Olive Hill, Ky., and later was a commercial traveler for wholesale grocers and dry goods merchants. He was elected to the 62d congress from the 9th Kentucky district and served continuously until 1921—ten years. His home is at Olive Hill in his native state. WEDNESDAY, NOV.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING MEXICO MAY GO "DRY"—Riverside (Cal.) Press Mexico, says a Methodist bishop stationed in that country, is moving rapidly toward prohibition. He cites that fact, along with various others, to support his appeal for better understanding of our southern neighbor. President Obregon, he says, by restoring order, promoting education, establishing an honest budget and providing for the payment of the Mexican public debt, has proved himself one of the greatest modern statesmen. Mexico, he believes, is going to be a more fertile field than ever before for American investment. Both countries might profit immensely, he thinks, if the United States would use, for the establishment of friendly relations between the two nations, the money it now spends for maintaining a single fort along the Rio Grande. After all that has been said about Mexico pro and con by politicians, capitalists and miscellaneous adventurers, it may be worth while to listen to a clergyman. Recent diplomatic developments at Washington suggest that the government may be taking this view of the matter. RADIO'S PICKED AUDIENCES—Riverside (Cal.) Press Publicity experts have long been telling advertisers that the important thing in making an effective appeal is to "pick your audience." That is precisely what radio broadcasters do not do, but they reach such large numbers of people that an audience of any particular likes or dislikes may pick itself. If one has purchased tickets to a concert in his own town, and the concert proves a disappointment, he cannot very well demand his money back and try a concert in another city. But if he is attending his concert by radio, and doesn't care for it, he may tune in on something quite different and many miles away. Just now certain Chicago welfare agencies are broadcasting a statement of their work and problems. It looks pretty much like shooting an arrow into the air without knowing where it is going to hit. Yet among the millions of radio listeners undoubtedly there will be found an audience as interested in the discussions of welfare work as are the other audiences interested in jazzy concerts, weather and agricultural reports, bedtime stories, etc. No one can tell beforehand what seeds of interest will be sown or what harvests of intelligent activity will be reaped later. Perhaps in a different sense, after all, radio broadcasters may be said to pick their audiences. It is one of the awe-inspiring features of this modern invention.

I was old and really fatherly. "I want to go home," she whimpered. "Where do you live?" said I, fatherly. "In San Francisco," she whined. And we were in New York! —Marcel Steinbrugge.
