Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS If I could, I would not lift the curtain of the future. What is concealed beneath it might perhaps be too terrifying; to sustain the vision of things to come, one should be saint or prophet. I consider it a blessing to see no further than a day—than the next moment.—Eugene de Guerin. "I AM READY!" TO DEATH, MR. WILSON ANSWERS "I am ready!" Woodrow Wilson met the ominous decree, coming from his sortery grieved friend and personal physician, with the high courage which ever has marked his course in emergencies in public and private life. Death had no terrors for him. He stood at "Attention," ready for the summons of the great Commander. "I am ready!" Duty faithfully done. Services to his country and to mankind which will shine while there is human history. Health broken in brave fight for the conservation of world peace. Standing by his convictions to the last. Yes, Woodrow Wilson was "ready" when told that he soon must pay the supreme debt of Nature. Proud may any man be to be "ready" thus to go. Being ready for death consists in being faithful in life, to its duties and responsibilities. God surely does not expect His creatures to waste time in craven fear of death, writhing and praying selfishly to ward off unseen punishments in the future world. The Father must admire and love the upstanding, courageous but humble man, who goes forth daily to do his best in the thick o flife's fray, leaving the issues of life and death to the Eternal Hand. Being ready to die betokens being prepared to live usefully. The proper kind of life is a prayer and a preparation, in itself, for death and eternity. The person who lives aright need have no fear of death—need not worry about being ready to die. Woodrow Wilson's readiness to die arose from the kind of PEACE IS PROMOTED BY HOME OWNING Homes are the foundation of peace. This is the confident assertion of an expert in the building of homes. "The home is typical of the human race. Its preservation means the preservation of the desire of progress, religion, ideals of life, and the maintenance of peace. The home is the mainspring of our actions. It is the basis of civilization and the heaven of attainment. When the desire to retain and advance civilization and secure attainment is made strong enough, peace must follow." Very true. Very logical conclusion. Very good sentiment. The home-owning impulse should be stimulated. California has a vast number of owners of homes. The number is increasing constantly. This is an element of stability. It denotes contentment among those who live here. It fosters public spirit. They are cutting timber much more rapidly than conservationists are replanting it. This continued depletion of forests can have but one result, ultimately—that is, bring on a famine in timber.

Apparently a party can be in power without being in clover. The Democratic view is that X marks the Fall of the opposition. Some women neither love nor fear their husbands, and others dress sensibly. As a term of reproach, "scoff-flaw" hasn't much on "grab-funds." Ah, well; the Republicans didn't get a fair crack at the war profiteering. "Closed-car comfort" has its little drawbacks, however, when three of the occupants persist in smoking. Self-made men are yet in an imperfect state. They haven't eliminated the noise.

ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES A tidy young man was distressed by his wife's carelessness in attire at home. He was especially annoyed by a torn skirt, which his wife was forever pinning and never mending. Being a tidy man, he and acquired some skill with a needle in his bachelor days. With the intention of administering a rebuke to his wife, he set to work on the skirt during her absence and sewed it up neatly. When, on her return home, he showed her what he had done, she was touched and kissed him tenderly. Soon she left the room, to return with an armful of garments. "Here are some more for you, darling," she announced, happily. "Don't hurry. Just do them whenever you have time." A farmer driving along a country road was thus accosted by a young man: "Hello, Reuben! Give me a lift to Boontown, will you?" The young man climbed up and begullded the time with lively chatter. After a few miles had been traveled, he said: "It's quite a distance to Boontown, isn't it?" "Quite a distance," answered the farmer. After a few more miles the young man asked: "Say, farmer, how far is it to Boontown, anyway?" "Well," replied the farmer, "keepin' right on the way ye're going now, I should say it would be about twenty-five thousand miles or so; but if you wanted to get out and walk back, it would agree. "Because she has standing army in the world, France is nate Europe now, the stabilizer. In the influence for peace." Calls Other War "Other wars seen History is a record United States has one year out of ever existence, and we are nation." "I see no indication manity is becoming progress when they stagnate later, there are still young." "The French army Europe seething envy and hatred.

TIMELY VIEWS "BELLIGERENT NATIONS IN NEXT WAR WILL NOT TRY TO KILL" "The League of Nations is falling, and the next war is approaching," said Benedict Crowell, the man who was assistant secretary of war under former President Woodrow Wilson, author of the League of Nations covenant. "Three new weapons, developed during the last war, will dominate the action. The nation or group of nations which enters the next war adequately equipped with tanks, gas and airplanes, will win a quick and probably decisive victory." The United States shares much of the blame for the present conditions in Europe, he declared in a recent statement. "I advocated entering the league in 1919, but the league has been left to become the instrument of the allies rather than an organization to compose differences between nations. It has failed in every big thing it has tackled. "Four nations—England, France, Italy and Japan—dominate the league. Italy and Japan are passive. When England and France agree on a question, the league can do much. But they seldom agree. "Because she has the largest standing army in the history of the world, France is able to dominate Europe now. Her army is the stabilizer. In that way it is an influence for peace. Calls Other Wars Sure "Other wars seem inevitable. History is a record of wars. The United States has been at war out of every four of its COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying PARENTAL MANAGEMENT—Santa Barbara News The National Committee for Mental Hygiene has just completed a report on the training of children that should be read with interest by every one who has a hand in the control of little ones. This report, in effect, says that childish taftrums are the direct result of parental mismanagement, and the reflection of the lack of restraint on the part of those who have the custody of the children. Over excitement of the childish mind, too much work and too little play, are among the causes given for baby outbreaks of temper. But it is also found that the taftrums of children are the direct result of similar outbursts by the grown-ups with whom they come in contact. Children are natural copyists. They learn largely by imitation. If older persons give way to temper and otherwise show a lack of self control, the children will follow the same course. The report of the hygiene committee, consequently, holds that never should there be a display of temper in dealing with children. The harsh scolding parent develops the cross and quarrelsome child. Firmness is demanded in handling the babies, but never harshness, or resentment. The report takes the view that healthful play will do much to relieve the child from nerve strain and promote a pleasant disposition but it finds that the ill-natured child who is made cross by a scolding parent is a hard problem because the remedy must be applied to the parent who has become fixed in habits of ill temper. If the cross father and the peevish mother would look to their own nerves they might have less cause for complaint of the behavior of their children. WHAT'S THE STORY? WHAT'S THE STORY? Squire J. K. McClung had a wonderful dream Saturday night. Ask him to tell you about it—Jackson, O., Sun.

Calls Other Wars Sure "Other wars seem inevitable. History is a record of wars. The United States has been at war one year out of every four of its existence, and we are a peaceful nation. "I see no indications that humanity is becoming better. Races progress when they are young, stagnate later, then decay. We are still young. "The French army dominates a Europe seething with cupidity, envy, and hatred. With Germany, Bulgaria, and Austria practically disarmed, there are 4,300,000 men under arms in Europe compared with 3,700,000 in 1913. But taxes will destroy the French army, and restraint will be lifted from other nations. "France is already disbanding part of her infantry, but the regiments are being replaced by tanks. More machines and fewer men will do the fighting in the future. There is a world war every 50 or 100 years, and each generation must have its major conflict. But machines and gas will make the next war more humane than the last. "In the next war governments will use sneezing or laughing gas, or anesthetics to put men, temporarily, out of the fighting. Death-dealing gases were used less and less as the last war progressed, and that shows the tendency. "A high ranking German officer said, after the armistice that it was Gen. "Tank," and not the genius of Marshal Foch, that turned the tide against the Germans. At Cambrai the English advanced as much in one day with only 6000 casualties, as they did at Ypres in three months, with 350,000 casualties. The difference was in the use of the tank. "Airplanes will jump over armies and attack the directing brains behind. I believe that bombing of cities is not only justifiable, but will be carried out in the next war. Supply depots and junction points will be destroyed, and the morale of the civilians behind the lines impaired." So live that you need never tell your friends that you expect to come back to America as soon as your health permits." WHAT'S THE STORY? WHAT'S THE STORY? Squire J. K.

It has been suggested that some energetic fellow could amass a tidy fortune by raising young newspapers in New York for Frank Munsey to kill. Heart of young Ohio man found to be on the wrong side. Well, his heart is always on the right side. It is 1925. The literary censorship has been established. A petition having been submitted and properly passed on, the officer of the law designated for the purpose will now read poetry for one half hour, as prescribed by the penal code. All minors will leave the room. Dispatch from Detroit says Ford has absolutely eliminated waste. Why can't he find a use for the rattle, too? Man 106 years old says he hasn't used the phone but once. Well, getting the right number in that length of time is a pretty good record.
