EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS There is one form of hope which is never unwise, and which certainly does not diminish with the increase of knowledge. In that form, it changes its name and we call it patience.—Bulwer. FILM STUDIOS RESUME OPERATIONS Of great economic interest to this Southland is the announcement from great motion-picture studios in Hollywood that production will be resumed at once on extensive scale. There has been a suspension of operations there for a few weeks. But the making of films will proceed, as the New Year opens. This is cheering news to thousands of employees and attaches of this industry. It means a vast deal, too, for the pay-rolls of the studios, when in operation, are enormous. With this industry going at full blast, a great deal of money is put into healthy general circulation in this section. This is but one of several strong indications of a continuance of prosperous conditions throughout this Southland. The building industry gives no signs of lull or slump. Plans go forward to maintain, after the first of the year, the big volume of construction which has marked the course of the year 1923. Make the year 1924 a year of progress. Let it be marked by wholesome advancement in individual and community life. DALLIANCE BY CONGRESS IS INSUFFERABLE Congress spent three weeks, before the holiday recess, doing nothing. From present indications there will be no more harmony after the holidays than there was before. The deadlock will continue, it seems. There is very little prospect of getting much constructive legislation out of this session. And all because a national election year is approaching. There is playing of politics for any benefits for party or for individuals DALLIANCE BY CONGRESS IS INSUFFERABLE Congress spent three weeks, before the holiday recess, doing nothing. From present indications there will be no more harmony after the holidays than there was before. The deadlock will continue, it seems. There is very little prospect of getting much constructive legislation out of this session. And all because a national election year is approaching. There is playing of politics for any benefits for party or for individuals which may be derived from these maneuverings. This kind of tactics will be pursued in Congress until such time as the people show displeasure at such proceedings. The people should make known their disapproval of dilatory, obstructive methods in Congress, whenever resorted to, and by whatever faction or "bloc." The people themselves should take a regulatory hand in this. They should say to Congress what shall not be, from that body. And especially should it be impressed that the Congressman or the group that attempts to play politics would be playing a very poor game as to winning favor with the public. The fields of Europe no more should run swordlet with human bloodshed in warfare. EUROPE AGREES AS TO PORT OF TANGIER The great powers of Europe have reached accord as to the port of Tangier, Morocco. Friction and rivalry have prevailed for fifty years in regard to this port in North Africa. Great Britain, France, Spain and Italy will sign the new treaty which settles points of difference among these nations. It surely is refreshing to find Europe in agreement on a problem that for more than a generation has threatened to precipitate very serious trouble, if not war. With the Tangier friction ended by amiable agreement, the conclusion is natural that the powers of Europe by pursuing the same conciliatory course regarding other matters of difference, should be able to reach agreement. In truth, there is no subject in controversy over there, that is impossible of solution by peaceful, conciliatory methods. It is very gratifying that the course of diplomacy In Europe is running more and more to the channels of peace. There is not much swordbrandishing now in the chancelleries of Europe. If the reparations problem were settled justly and amicably, there would be no obstacle in the path of peaceful recovery throughout Europe. And they used to call him "Silent Cal."

JOHNSON MISS CALIFORNIA THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE JOHNSON'S 1924 (AMPAIGN) FOR REPUBLICAN PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) If his mouth waters when you reach for a juicy plum, he is a dangerous radical. He isn't a great critic unless he has learned to use clever phrases nobody can understand. "Nature is averse to prohibition." It looks that way. She put the Bahamas there. Ancient policy: "Let all things be done decently and in order." Modern policy: "Make it snappy." So live that it never will be necessary to call your neighbors a set of narrow-minded gossips. No town is entitled to a convention unless it has enough pool tables for delegates to sleep on. The dining room is the one next to the kitchen, where the family eats. A New York gunman will kill you for 416, but you can get a cheaper rate from a bootlegger. These little revolutions in Germany are not really serious. They won't inspire any memoirs. A critic says Europe's civilization is more finished than ours. He probably means more nearly finished. When at last women boss the country, we trust they will give liberal support to homes for fallen men. DINNER STORIES He was endeavoring to appear downcast and mournful. But he wasn't succeeding very well when he said to a saleswoman in a drygoods store: "I want you to tell me what the custom is for the wearing of mourning." "Well," mused the clerk, "of course it varies. If it's a less near relative, a band of black on the sleeve or hat; or, if its a friend, just a black tie." For some moments he considered. Then he said: "Give me a shoe lace. It's my wife's mother." And yet, if we could get the kind of immigrants we desire, wouldn't the rest of us stand a little in awe of them? It is impossible for a Congress to keep its nose on the grindstone while keeping its ear on the ground.

These little revolutions in Germany are not really serious. They won't inspire any memoirs. A critic says Europe's civilization is more finished than ours. He probably means more nearly finished. When at last women boss the country, we trust they will give liberal support to homes for fallen men. Note to visiting hotel men from Europe: Those little blocks found in American bathrooms are soap. The bolsheviks are no longer trying to drag the world down. They are just letting nature take its course. As a symbol of peace and placid contentment, there is nothing more eloquent than a bald spot. If we sell Germany the wheat instead of giving it to her, let it be understood that it isn't a "political debt." Every man who has gone in and tried to stop a family fight knows why Uncle Sam hesitates to interfere in Europe. If he cusses Germany still, it doesn't mean that he suffered in the war, but only that he speculated in marks. The east wind plays a prominent part in that Chinese game, but in our own game of politics not all of the wind is from the east.

POEMS THAT LIVE WHY For a name unknown, Whose fame unblown Sleeps in the hills For ever and aye; For her who hears The stir of the years Go by on the wind By night and day; And heeds no thing Of the needs of spring, Of autumn's wonder Or winter's chill; For one who sees The great sun freeze, And he wanders a cold From hill to hill; And all her heart Is a women part Of the flurry and drift Of whirling snow; For the sake of two Sad eyes and true, And the old, old love So long ago. WHEN YOU ARE OLD When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face. And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur a little sadly, how love fled 'And paced upon the mountains overhead, And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. —Bliss Carman —William Butler Yeats ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT On the street of jazz and gab stands a battered taxicab. The splendor of its bygone days departed. It had been brought into life for a wealthy banker's wife; Many actors of renown it has carried through the town. And the beauties of the chorus and the ballet. By the stage door it has stood in the days when it was good— ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT On the street of jazz and gab stands a battered taxicab, The splendor of its bygone days departed. It had been brought into life for a wealthy banker's wife; It was a handsome town-car when it started. When it used to hit the breeze, with no single cough nor wheeze, It could boast a classy footman and a chauffeur; But, a victim of the times, it now stands and waits for dimes, And is nothing but a shabby corner loater. It has led a rounder’s life since it left the banker’s wife; It has gone the pace that kills, and that is certain. It has seen a thousand fights as it hung around of nights, And now is waiting for the final captain. It has seen some weddings, too, and of parties not a few; It has taken part in many celebrations. It has carried jags and cranks and has helped to rob three banks, And has saved or ruined many reputations. Many actors of renown it has carried through the town, And the beauties of the chorus and the ballet. By the stage door it has stood in the days when it was good— By the old stage door we knew down near the alley. In blizzards and through rains it has caught a thousand trains. A thousand men it's lugged home in the morning. When the milkmen on his beat was just jogging through the street And the rising sun the landscape was adoring. Now it's lost its pep and vim, and its headlights they are dim. And it coughs and bucks and buckles and it sneezes; And it hasn't got the power to hit up fourteen an hour, And its poor old frame is open to the breezes. It has lived a stormy life in its fifteen years of strife; It has witnessed scandal, mirth And gloom and joy. It is silent and discreet, as it stands there in the street But if just taxicab could talk, oh boy.
