EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS When I look at the life of Jesus, I see that the purpose of consecration, of emancipation, is service to his fellow men. It is a life of service from beginning to end. He gives himself to man because he is absolutely the child of God, and he sets up service and nothing but service, to be the ultimate purpose, the one great desire, on which the souls of his followers should be set, as his own soul is set upon it continually.—Phillips Brooks. GIVE UNTO THE LIVING DUE PRAISE Execution for the living, deification for the dead—this, too often, is the exaggerated, distorted, cruel attitude of the public toward public figures. Some of the greatest characters this country has produced were traduced and abused and criticised unmercifully while they lived, only to be extolled and ranked with the immortals when they died. Abraham Lincoln was the most conspicuous example of this unreasonable swinging from extreme abuse to extreme praise—not that Mr. Lincoln well could be overpraised. But the fulsomeness that follows abuse, oftentimes coming from the same source, is not very convincing as to sincerity—certainly not as to justice. Extreme partisanship has fomented much abuse of public men. This is a previous mistake. Happily, the tendency now is toward greater liberality in this. Political partisanship is not so extreme or so bitter as it once was. Men should be ranked, while they live, as they deserve to be ranked, and should be shown appreciation as they deserve. It is true that the full measure of a great man's rating cannot be taken, in some instances, while he yet lives. But the greatness of a truly great person is enough manifest to give approximate appraisal of him while he is living. He should be honored accordingly. It is a sad commentary on human nature in every age of the world's history, that the truly great not only have not been appreciated, but many of them have been neglected, abused and persecuted shamefully. Friends of law and order should revise more terror into the criminal code of the state for the deserate criminal. ranked, and should be shown appreciation as they deserve.

RAILROADS ADVERTISE CALIFORNIA California is given invaluable promotional advertising by the great transcontinental railroads. Boosting of this state this year by the great steel arteries spanning the continent is to be on an extensive scale. The Rock Island and affiliated lines, it is announced, will increase their advertising appropriations to stimulate travel to California this year. Other big systems are preparing to spend large sums in the same way, for the same purpose. It is quite effective to have circulars and folders portraying the beauties and excellences of California scattered broadcast. In railway stations in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas—all over the eastern states, attractive reading matter about California is placed. This is read by great numbers and its promotional effect is noteworthy. No reckless, incompetent person should have license to drive an automobile. Rains have been slow in coming to California this winter. But perhaps they have brought their knitting and will stay a long time.

PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The police usually incline to the suicide theory unless the man is married. Twas ever thus. When Noah built the first fleet, the humble taxpayer got soaked. A woman never thinks she married beneath herself if the doit she selected can make money. A hick town is a place where the man who carries a cane is a guest in the community. Studying statesmen teaches you that this is a land of opportunity and opportunists. "Nature did not foresee surgeons." Then for whose benefit was the appendix provided? About the only thing the rich and poor have in common for breakfast is a grouch. The reformer must be sincere, after all. Her labors ceaselessly to work himself out of a job. After each episode a movie star must tremble until she gets the returns from Kansas. Some small boys get up unwillingly, and some sleep where they can smell the sausage frying. Still, the klan that wears evening gowns is more dangerous than the one that wears night gowns.

The "ham actor" isn't an abbreviation of Hamlet. It refers to the "ham-and" combination. The audience is supposed to provide the eggs. But why should the navy go south for practice when the rum fleet affords targets just off the coast? In the old days they played "drop the handkerchief" to get a kiss. Now they just drop formality.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT In 1926 the great Armageddon will take place, according to this learned doctor and his satellites. In 1923 the whole works will blow up. In 1926 it will be a final conflict between Mohammedamism allied with bolshevism, against the united Anglo-Saxon world. When it is over there will be few of us left, and those few will be entirely exhausted. Those who are spending their time kicking about everything now have the satisfaction of knowing that their troubles will not last much longer. Only a few more income tax blanks to fill out, only a few more raises in the rent, only a few more moving day and only a few more trips on the old suburban train to and from Gladys Manor. It is well to take these things into consideration in planning for the future, which is to be so short. Perhaps you can get along without the gold dishes you were going to buy on the installment plan, and if you have been saving up ofr a villa at Newport there is little use in continuing. You could never make it by 1926. Little boys who are planning to be President will be saved the trouble. The house you are trying to pay for on monthly payments will not be taken away from you. A LITTLE SLICE O' LIFE A couple of years ago We heard of nothing very much Except the American flapper And how she was going to ruin Our civilization and everything. Reformers called her a menace And they viewed the future With very little hope. They said that her habits Were a disgrace and they said A lot of other things which Were not very complimentary. While they roasted the flapper The flapper flourished, Which is usually the case. Suddenly she dropped out of sight. We heard no more about her. The reason probably was That they stopped advertising her. We met a former flapper yesterday And she looked like any other girl, Not a bit bold or vicious. And she was walking along. Without smoking a cigarette, And she didn't swear at all. "Flappers," said she regretfully, "Have gone out of style. There is no use being a flapper When nobody pays any attention." Which seems to explain pretty well How one "terrible menace" Has been overcome at last. MILL-ENDS Man's dream—poise. Woman's nightmare—avoirdupois. Woman's unpardonable crime to women—outshining all other women. Strange how nothing ever seems to interfere with a man's golf engagements. Hope springs eternal in the Freudian malden's breast.
