EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS To watch sweet buds of life unfold, To guard our homes with care untold, To send out warriors brave and strong From fireside ranks to right the wrong, Then trust our all to higher need, And bide His time—this is our creed. —Abbie A. Gould PACIFIC COMMERCE IS VAST AND GROWING Westward the center of world commerce takes its way. The Pacific Ocean is becoming the leading commercial ocean of the world. The tide of trade has turned from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Dr. Alexander Hume Ford, secretary of the Pan-Pacific Union, makes assertions to this effect. Facts fully warrant Dr. Ford in saying these things. Vast quantities of farm and orchard products, grown in Canada and in the western portion of the United States, are sent by water through the Pacific—either via the Panama Canal to Europe or the eastern seaboard of the United States, or across the Pacific to teeming shores of the Orient. China and Japan are steady customers of the United States, and commerce with Oriental countries, across the Pacific, is gaining steadily. California is the axis of the huge commercial expansion. Through the ports of this state pass enormous quantities of commodities, exported and imported, across the Pacific, or coastwise via the canal, to and from Atlantic ports. This trade yearly grows. In its continued growth California and the whole Pacific West will be benefited immensely. The ports of this state are destined to become the commercial front doors of the Nation.

Through the ports of this state pass enormous quantities of commodities, exported and imported, across the Pacific, or coastwise via the canal, to and from Atlantic ports. This trade yearly grows. In its continued growth California and the whole Pacific West will be benefited immensely. The ports of this state are destined to become the commercial front doors of the Nation. Politics without personalities and without bitter recriminations, should be the order of the day this year. REVOLT IS COLLAPSING IN MEXICO News from Mexico indicates the complete failure of the revolt there. With the fall of Vera Cruz and the flight of insurrectionary leaders, the rebellion is robbed of its serious aspects. It should be possible now for President Obregon and his forces to clear the country up, in detail, and to restore peace ere long. However, there may be hidden sources of insurrection not now evident to the American side of the border. Nothing is sure in Mexico, in these things, except what is—and what is, today, may not be, tomorrow. Restoration of peace and order, south of the Rio Grande, would be welcomed in the United States, as well as by the people of Mexico. That country would go forward to great prosperity and notable development, if it were pacified and if wise, progressive governmental policies prevailed. It surely is an "unusual" winter they are having "back yonder." Teapot Dome should mark the doom of all questionable leases on the public domain. The weather in the Middle West is giving some good promotion impetus to tourist travel to California. California high schools should not have fraternities. The law says "No" to these secret societies and what the law says should be respected. "Shakespeare's line about "the winter of our discontent" must find responsive chord in the breasts of those blizzard-suffering denizens of the Eastern states. California is magnetic to millions. From distant states and distant lands great numbers look to this commonwealth as the land of their dreams and as the future home to which they hope to move for permanent residence.

Raise me a dais of silk and down; Hang it with vair and purple dyes; Carve it in doves and pomegranates. And peacocks with a hundred eyes; Work it in gold and silver grapes, In leaves and silver fleurs-dlys; Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me. —Christina Rossetti all that the name impli Marshall P.

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAY'S NEWS BY JAMES O'GRADY James O'Grady, named British ambassador to Soviet Russia by Great Britain's labor premier, is familiar with conditions in the freed country. As a captain in the British army during the world war he was sent to Copenhagen in 1919 to confer with Maxim Litvinoff, soviet representative, regarding the exchange of war prisoners. The negotiations were completed early in 1920. Under the agreement Britain freed Russian prisoners and British prisoners were freed and British subjects repatriated by the soviet government. In the same year O'Grady and seven other laborites in the house of commons signed a manifesto warning the British public that labor would not co-operate if England aided the Poles in their war with the bolsheviks. After the trial of the priests in Russia last year, O'Grady cabled to Foreign Minister Teichterlin in Moscow urging clemency. He signed the message as secretary of the federation of general workers, and said his appeal was in the name of its 1,500,000 members. O'Grady made several efforts to have Lloyd George release the late Terence Macswiney, lord mayor of Cork, while he was on hunger strike. The appointment of O'Grady to the ambassadorial post is unique in British history. It is the first time a laborite has been called to such an important position in the British diplomatic circles. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying UNIVERSITY FLUNKERS—San Francisco Chronicle The results of the examinations at the end of the last semester of the University of California have been checked up and President Campbell announces that 482 undergraduates out of 8120 have failed so completely that they have been dropped from the rolls and will not be permitted to return. There are, of course, a list of "conditioned," presumably larger, but the number is not given. So large a number of "flunks" at one examination raises the whole question of university instruction, and especially of such instruction given at public expense. The situation is not peculiar to this state, although presumably there are more flunks where instruction is free. In varying degrees the situation exists in all the great universities and is becoming a subject of active discussion in educational circles and publications. It has many aspects. All the time universities are raising their standards and crowding off more and more the more elementary work on to junior institutions, which have to be strengthened. It is not certain instructors of proper attainments and temperament can be had to take care of the throngs of undergraduates, at least with the income of the universities. It may be held that applicants be required to give evidence of capacity which justifies the state in spending money on them.

THOMAS For lack of digestion Is often a state Of nervous exhaustion From staying up late. A good church member is one who fears God and hates the janitor. What we need in our back yards is more playgrounds and fewer coffee grounds. Clean food and pure water are the chief factors in the cause of good health. About one child out of every live has defective vision which left uncorrected, may lead to permanent damage. Those who "talk through their goses"—don't. When you "talk through your nose" there's a natural obstruction. "Picking" at the ear with matches, toothpicks, hairpins, etc., often results in injury to the external canal and the production of painful inflammation. In the ordinary sense of the word, home-killed meat, like the milk from the neighborhood cow, is synonymous with neither cleanliness nor safety.
