Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Do you ask what building this That can show both pain and bliss, That can be both dark and fair? Lo, its name is Character! I. E. Dickenga AMERICA'S SHIPPING IS IN BALANCE While a large percentage of America's foreign commerce is transported in American ships, under the American flag, yet the status of the American mercantile marine is not what it should be. There is lacking, at Washington, a definite policy in regard to American shipping. The President recommends. But Congress has done nothing, nor is there very bright outlook for anything to be done at the present session of Congress. American shipping will not grow and expand as it should until a broad, sagacious, helpful policy is adopted by the national government in regard to the upbuilding of the merchant navy. If the government itself is to own and operate shipping lines, then let this policy be instituted and let growth proceed accordingly. But if shipping is to be turned back to private ownership and control, then let this decision be made, so that conditions may be adjusted accordingly. The bane of the American shipping situation at present lies in the absence of a definite policy and program on the part of Congress. This condition should be remedied soon by constructive action by the legislative branch of the government. President Coolidge is not prodigal with words—for which the country is duly thankful. Few and pointed words from the White House make a good impression. KEEP ON URGING PEACE UPON MANKIND The cause of peace is being furthered by the great amount of attention that is given it by many eminent speakers, writers and President Coolidge is not prodigal with words—for which the country is duly thankful. Few and pointed words from the White House make a good impression. KEEP ON URGING PEACE UPON MANKIND The cause of peace is being furthered by the great amount of attention that is given it by many eminent speakers, writers and humane workers. There is more peace talk in the world today than ever before. It is more intelligent, more definite, than ever before. The result is bound to be salutary. Many plans are proposed for fostering peace. There is much difference of opinion as to the relative merits of plans suggested. But this divergence of opinion need not discourage the promoters of peace. It is a healthy sign. It shows that the masses of the people really are thinking, definitely and coherently, on this all-important subject. It denotes profound interest in and thought upon the subject by the leading thinkers of the world. Keep up this agitation; encourage peace thinking and peace planning, and the world will get peace, ultimately. Politics should be treated as serious, thoughtful business, not as an hysteria. Factionalism in a community is deadening to the forces and influences of progress. The public school is effectual insurance against ignorance, mental atrophy and retrogression. "Woman's rights has reduced the number of wrongs to which women were subjected. With two presidential candidates in the field, California is sure not to be overlooked in national politics. California will be in the eye of the Nation during the 1924 national political campaign.

PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The junker who says the Fatherland needs a helm, doubtless means a Wilhelm. State's rights never flourish well in an atmosphere filled with howls for federal aid. Too much chicken and veal salad is made on a 50-50 basis—one chicken to one calf. When you hear a man say that all he wants is to be let alone, he means that he has got his. Getting lean is just a matter of will-power. Fat is no more than the triumph of matter over mind. The family circle can endure almost any kind of strain, except that imposed by an eternal triangle. There will be everlasting peace soon after people learn to stand and uncover when a purifier passes by. Constitutional rights are those that can't be denied you if you have a lawyer of sufficient reputation. It must be a source of great gratification to the crown prince to read that the allies think him a menace. ABE MARTIN If Late Bud an' his wife wuz prominent they couldn't git along any worse. Fellers that can't speak in public wouldn't be so awful if they didn't allus want t' try. DINNER STORIES The woman orator stood upon her platform and looked over the sea of faces, states Cartoons. "Where would man be today were it not for woman?" she inquired. Josh buys a new suit o' clothes I have to wear his old ones."—New York Sun. Mrs. Flannigan dripped in on Mrs. Murphy and spoke with an air of fine pride: "I'm afther havin' a letter from me boy. He tells me that fer meritorious conduct, his sintince will be reduced six months." "Sure, now, an' what a comfort it must be t' yez, havin' a son what does ye such credit." There will be everlasting peace soon after people learn to stand and uncover when a parish passes by. Constitutional rights are those that can't be denied if you have a lawyer of sufficient reputation. It must be a source of great gratification to the crown prince to read that the allies think him a menace. Get acquainted with great men. Finding out how insignificant they are will encourage you to greater effort. The mere citizen is much like the statesman, except that in his case patriotism is an emotion instead of a trade. If you teach a boy that money isn't everything, don't blame him if he takes a white-collar job instead of laying bricks. It's a disappointing world, and by the time a mortal ceases to believe in Santa Claus he begins to believe in politicians. When you speak of the old dances now, people don't know whether you mean the waltz and two-step or those people danced last week. If at last you are persuaded that all things in the world are rotten save your precious self, you are a young intellectual. There may be a moral difference between the theft and waste of public money, but it isn't sufficient to help the taxpayer much. A statistician says one person in each twelve is working for the government, but he doesn't say how the eleven dodge their taxes. When a man says that, after all, the first business of a college is to impart knowledge, he means that his favorite eleven got licked. Correct this sentence: "Aw, Mamma," wailed little Willie, "do you mean that every single bit of that turkey hash is gone?" DINNER STORIES The woman orator stood upon her platform and looked over the sea of faces, states Cartoons. "Where would man be today were it not for woman?" she inquired. She paused a moment. "Again, I repeat," she said, "where would man be today were it not for woman?" "In the Garden of Eden," answered a male voice from the rear. Si Simlin knew Farmer Corntassel so he felt he could speak right up in meetin'. "The neighbors are talking about how stylish you're dressing," remarked Si.

Wouldn't it be just as well if he sent the money, as the fellow did who couldn't attend the poker game? What the country needs is more people laying bricks and less people throwing them.
