Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS No sea more foreign rolls than breaks each morn Across our threshold, when the day is born; We sail at sunrise daily "outward bound." —Helen Hunt Jackson VETERANS' BUREAU IN LINE OF FIRE Discounting, to reasonable extent, the accusations of outrageous treatment of World War veterans at the hands of many connected with the Federal Veterans' Bureau, yet there remains enough truth not to be questioned, to show that these has been shameful treatment of veterans and lamentable failure, on the part of those administering the Veterans' Bureau, to meet the requirements of disabled soldiers. Amplifications of the recent investigation by a committee of Congress are being made. Sufficient evidence is gathered to warrant a house cleaning, should it be found that any of those guilty of grafting and mistreatment of veterans are yet in government service. While official house cleaning is proceeding in Washington, it would be well to make it complete, basing findings upon ascertained truth, not upon hysteria, or prejudice, or passion. "Turn the rascals out" is all right. But no innocent man should be turned out and branded a "rascal". Teepot Dome is furnishing the oil of scandal. Public indignation will apply the purifying fire. The American people will not tolerate the exploiting of their natural riches. ELECTIONS IN MEXICO MAY BE PEACEFUL Mexico is to hold a presidential election next July. For some time violence and bloodshed in connection with political affairs down there have threatened to persist. But assurances come from a member of the cabinet of President Obregon that the presidential polling in July will proceed in peace and that President Obregon will not stand for re-election. It is to be hoped that the election may not be preceded or followed by outbreaks of violence. Complete and permanent pacification of Mexico would be of inestimable benefit to that ELECTIONS IN MEXICO MAY BE PEACEFUL Mexico is to hold a presidential election next July. For some time violence and bloodshed in connection with political affairs down there have threatened to persist. But assurances come from a member of the cabinet of President Obregon that the presidential polling in July will proceed in peace and that President Obregon will not stand for re-election. It is to be hoped that the election may not be preceded or followed by outbreaks of violence. Complete and permanent pacification of Mexico would be of inestimable benefit to that country, as well as being of great advantage to the United States. There is no excuse for armed strife in Mexico. There are no reforms needed which cannot be worked out in peace, by constitutional methods. Insurrections down there usually are instituted and fostered by men politically ambitious, whose ambitions are their guiding influence. Civil war based on such selfish considerations is not justifiable. Abraham Lincoln is appreciated today. But he was not appreciated while he lived. More appreciation for the living great is in order.

This new knee-flask idea is disheartening. The stuff was low-down enogh. However, the Shenandoah's isn't the only nose to show the effects after a spree. Actors don't feel their parts, and a kiss means nothing except that the last reel is about over. Table: Even after election he delighted to shake hands with the amely and unwashed. The reason chickens come home to roost is because every live place is closed up downtown. More coal has fewer heat units than the adjectives that sizzle up through the radiators when Dad finds the furnace fire out. Of course "scofflaw" will work, think how careful pedestrians are since "jaywalker" was invented. A he-man is one who leaves some against his will merely of how his wife that she can't be a limm. Let us not take it too seriously. No official has even dreamed of selling the tax concession. We are afraid Butter knows little of physiology. He tells copso use their heads in making a pinch. A government of checks and balances in all right, except that nobody knows who will get the checks. Even when the meek inherit the earth, some will be too proud to get between the plow handles.

POEMS THAT LIVE ODE We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by long sea-break-ons, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-for-sakers, On whom the pale moon gleams, Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world's great cities, And out of a fabulous story We fashion an empire's glory: One man with a dream, at pleasure, Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new song's measure Can trample an empire down. We, in the ages lying In the buried past of the earth, Built Nineveh with our sighing, And Bubel itself with our mirth; And o'erthrow them with prophesying To the old of the new world's worth; For each age is a dream that ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT A MESSAGE "Let not your heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid." All evil is but a mist, Black, turgid foul, Rising from the Sea of Error, Swirled by the Winds of Hate Against the eternal immutable Hills of Truth, Powerless to oppose The mighty on-rushing, The urge irresistible Of the Tides of Righteousness Ever forcing man Onward and upward To Realms of Perfection. "Let not your heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid."

All of the poets are won by the sporting writers in February and March, and Bill Bunkum, our baseball expert, already is in the South digging up dope for us that will be discovered by Damon Runyon, Grantland Rice, Norman Brown and other millionaire scribes later on. Bill's first letter (he's so sure his stuff is exclusive that he never takes the trouble to telegraph) disappoints us somewhat. He has not discovered a single embryonic Cobb or Matthewsan. He devotes himself exclusively to statistics: "Sixteen teams will begin the march to the gannans early. Sixteen promising first basemen, 16 promising second basemen, 16 promising shortstops, 16 promising third basemen, 16 promising catchers, 32 promising outfielders and 48 promising pitchers will be found by the sporting writers in the spring training camps. All of them, however, will need a little more seasoning before they are fit for the big league grade. Manager ...

For eight exhibition games will be postponed on account of rain." Twenty college pitcher will hold major league teams to two hits and hot sticks will report a brisk moment. We, in the ages lying In the buried past of the earth, Built Nineteen with our sighing, And Bubel itself with our mirth; And o'erthrow them with prophesying To the old of the new world's worth; For each age is a dream that is dying.

Two managers will announce, 'We're going to repeat.' Twelve managers will announce, 'We're going to be on top when the curtain is rung down on the season.'

You will never be satisfied nor contented, you will never feel that you are making genuine progress, until you have a home of your own. Your wife wants it; your children want it—you want it. Let a home be the final thing you have. Building a home is not a heavy undertaking today. It is the best investment you can make—and the best asset you can have. The business world and the social world show more favor to the home-owners. If it is a question of finances or a question of plans, whatever the difficulty confronting you, your building material dealer can also be of much assistance to you. He knows building and building conditions thoroughly because that is his daily business. He is right here at home, and his duty is to give you such good service that you should see him every day.
