Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS I love the world the more, because I know it is God's world; even as a dry leaf, given by a lover, is dearer than all pearls from whoso loves us not. —Theodore Parker SALVATION ARMY DOING GOOD ALWAYS The Salvation Army writes its history in terms of human reclamation and noble service to the fallen and unfortunate. Its ministrations command the respect, admiration and reverence of all who have any conviction or sentiment as to the fitness of things. Evangeline Booth, commander of the Salvation Army in America, is in California, on tour of inspection and to dedicate Salvation Army homes for self-supporting girls. One was dedicated in San Francisco, another in Los Angeles. Commander Booth voices faith in the girl of today. She is not shocked or discouraged, over the dress or manners of present-day girls. Fashions and manners change, she argues, and the main thing is to keep ideals pure and high. "Youth must have an ideal; put an ideal in a girls' sky and she will do anything." It is this holding faith in humanity that gives the Salvation Army its power for good among those who need its ministrations. It helps the weak and fallen to help themselves—to have faith in themselves. And this is the source of all human reclamation—to inspire the fallen to work for their own reclaiming. An honest, clean, kindly, useful life is the best religious sermon. There are no dull days in Washington any more.

The French franc and the German mark are not so widely separated in value, as they were. It is gratifying to note that the good old American dollar is not showing daily depreciation. Political campaign pictures this year will not be done in oil—not if the candidates and managers can help it. The United States should lose no opportunity to influence the world toward permanent peace. What is Butterkrisp? Have you ordered your Ford?

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying BUSINESS NOT POLITICS—(San Diego Union) California apparently has a Governor who thinks more of honest service than he does of political labels. Though he began his term under the handlep of state agencies honeycombed with appointees and henchmen of the former political regime, he seems to regulate his "weeding out" process by something other than a political standard. When he found a good public servant holding a Johnson-Stephens appointment, he kept him. We have a hunch that if Governor Richardson finds a Richardson appointee who isn't making good, removal will be a very short matter. When the state board of charities and corrections met in San Francisco the other day, two members who were appointees of Stephens handed in their resignations. They explained that they felt that the new governor should have a chance to recognize the board in accordance with his own ideas. The governor replied that he didn't want to accept the resignations, because of the meritorious services of the two members in question. This action will strengthen the morale of the state board, and of every other agency of the state. Governor Richardson deserves commendation for the action, because he has broken a bad precedent — not because the action itself is anything more than fair and businesslike. Governor Richardson has made a courageous effort to break down the political fences built up by the "old gang". He has been opposed, unfortunately, by some appointed or elected officials within the state government itself. These officials ought to be weeded out as fast as possible—with the people's help when necessary. The officials who attend to their own business ought to be kept, regardless of political earmarks. This will mark Mr. Richardson a political failure—but a good governor. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT MORE ENTHUSIASMS OF A CYNIC Aesop's Fables, cold baked chicken, Fontaine Fox, J. N. Darling, P. T.

I'll hear thy voice of melody In the sweet whispers of the air; I'll see the brightness of thine eye In the blue evening's decy star; In crystal streams thy purity; And look on Heaven to look on thee. —George Darley EARLY DEATH She pass'd away like morning dew Before the sun was high; So brief her time, she scarcely knew The meaning of a sigh. As round the rose its soft perfume, Sweet love around her floated; Admired she grew—while mortal doom Crept on, unfear'd, unnoted. Love was her guardian Angel here, But Love to Death resigned her; Tho' Love was kind, why should we fear But holy Death is kind? —Hartley Coleridge DINNER STORIES Applications for membership in the New York Newspaper club require the aspirants to set down the "name in full," "business address," "home address" and "occupation."
