Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Sweet Summer comes with flying feet To find me in the narrow streets She woos me softly Come away Where grasses wave and waters play. —Harriet McEwen Kimball. TALK TAX REDUCTIONS BUT GIVE LITTLE "Reduce taxes!" It is heard all over the land. The people are insisting upon it. Congress wants to please the people, from human nature motives—this is the year of Congressional elections. Congress also wants to please the World War veterans who seek bonus. And so the tumbling and balancing act goes on. The people are thoroughly aroused about taxation. Present tax rates are burdensome, at best. The situation should be relieved. There should be a consistent, coherent plan before Congress and before state legislators—and no element of the people should stand in the way of retrenchment. Better management in governmental affairs at Washington and in the various state and municipal governments is needed. It is feasible. It would come if the people arose in the might of their earnestness and urged and demanded that reforms be made to the end that tax levies might grow less. Let this agitation in behalf of better business methods and in retrenchment ripe to do a great deal of agitating in government proceed. The time is along this line. Several reputations have made shipwreck in a sea of scandalous oil. RADIO IN POLITICS IS TO BE FEATURED This will be a radio campaign in national politics, in large measure. President Coolidge, should he be nominated at Cleveland, will use this method of reaching the people. Washington dispatches indicate.

RADIO IN POLITICS IS TO BE FEATURED This will be a radio campaign in national politics, in large measure. President Coolidge, should be nominated at Cleveland, will use this method of reaching the people. Washington dispatches indicate. Mr. Coolidge has used wireless to good effect, in reaching millions of his countrymen directly. He has a good radio delivery, it is said. Other candidates doubtless will employ the same medium. Campaign managers and political speakers of note also will broadcast their respective messages in this way, in all probability. The air literally will be alive with politics. The motion picture also will be used extensively, no doubt, in campaign publicity and propagandism. Through these two instrumentalities—radio and screen—methods of campaigning will be affected greatly in this country. The newspaper has effected a revolution by and of itself. Far more millions of citizens are reached through the press than through hearing silver-tongued orators face to face. The newspaper will continue to be perhaps the greatest, most important and most influential factor in political campaigning. It is read in the quiet of the home, or the office, or the field or factory, and is an incitement to sober thinking, which moulds opinions. Teach children to observe and to love that which is sweet and noble. “Big business” sometimes is very small in its business methods.

Easy Monthly Payments SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY You can say one thing for "scofflaw." It's the only word in this liquor row that both sides enjoy. An open countenance would be fine except for the string of words that comes out of the opening. Just as a mere spectacle would be worth $50,000 to sell the senate accept a peace plan. Whoever invented "meron should have more than $200. expresses at least $14,000 worth of scorn. It is difficult to climb the ladder of fame at Hollywood, but it seems easy to hop up. Nature is fair. She made woman's arms enticing, but she gave man legs to carry him away from there. Business integrity is improving. No manufacturer now realizes claims to have a one-man top. The girl who runs away from hick town is said to be missing but she isn't missing much. One thing a girl can't understand is that the stranger driving the car may be wicked even if he is handsome. Another fault in our education system is that some girls must try several schools before getting a husband. If husband and wife have quarrelled, you know they haven't made up if she hasn't bothered to make up. General Butler is a lucky charm. Indications are that there will be other jobs when Philadelphia made pure in heart. Birds from the Canary Island may sing popular songs. We heard birds from the Bahama singing "He's a Jolly Good Fellow."

There is no cure for constipation half as good as recreation. When I have a patient With imaginary ills, I fix him up a box Of imaginary pills. The prevention of bubonic plague is much easier than the eradication of it—also much cheaper. Indigestion's just a symptom— Off the stomach's not at fault; Many times appendicities Makes the stomach call a halt. Cleanliness, without carbolic acid, is more effacious as a disinfectant, than carbolic acid without cleanliness. It's not the whole of medicine to prescribe nor all of cure to take.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying HISTORY ON THE SCREEN—The Boston Herald A screen version of American history, from Columbus to Appomatox, prepared with the sanction of Yale University and under the direction of the Yale Press, and exhibited in the usual manner in moving picture theaters throughout the country, is an enterprise to be welcomed in the history of the films. The preparation is done under the auspices of a great American university with the aid of scholars whose names guarantee the utmost effort to attain accuracy of scenery, costume and action, and to select for the series the episodes of greatest significance in the history of the Nation. The presentation is made on a large scale, with sympathetic interest in the end the university has in view and in the hope that the public will support these "Chronicles of America Photo-Plays" sufficiently well to encourage the production of other film of an educational nature. The possibilities of such pictures for the inspiration of the young are evident and enormous. The Yale Press published the well known series of historical works known as "The Chronicles of America." The profits of that business venture have been employed in the financing of this pictorial representation of the events those histories described. One play has to do with Columbus another with Jamestown, and so through the centuries to the culminating scene in the Civil War. To hold a "movie audience," and, at the same time, teach authentic history, it is necessary not only to consult students of the past, but trained actors and managers who understand the necessities of dramatic representation. This we are informed, has been done. This is the most ambitious effort yet made to use the motion pictures for teaching purposes. The subjects chosen are precisely those that ought to appeal to the average American and to thrill the average school boy and girl. The names of the sponsors guarantee that commercial considerations are not primarily thought of. Certainly the multitudes who strong to the movies should have thus an opportunity to learn the outstanding events of our history in a universal language. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT The old-fashioned wolking goils had a heck of a time trying to make both ends meet and support their parents, five or six brothers and sisters and a number of other relatives, for wages in those days were small. They used to call them wages. Now they call them salaries and, in some cases, incomes. The man who does not believe that the poor wolking goil has blossomed out into a business woman should take a look around him. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT The old-fashioned wolking goils had a heck of a time trying to make both ends meet and support their parents, five or six brothers and sisters and a number of other relatives, for wages in those days were small. They used to call them wages. Now they call them salaries and, in some cases, incomes. The man who does not believe that the poor wolking goil has blossomed out into a business woman should take a look around him and then hustle back to the old job and hang on a puppy to a root. And the poor wolking goils are the best dressers in town. The poor wolking goils are there, these days. You find them in the most unexpected places. If you don't believe it, bust into the office of some public utility concern some day and ask for the general manager. You have a bill which is not right and S. L. Purvis as general manager has written regarding same. You are prepared to give S. L. Purvis the calling of his life; in fact, you are hot enough to hand him a few jabs on the point of the jaw. When you ask for the general manager you are immediately confronted by a tall beauteous blonde who asserts that she is the S. L. Purvis you wish to see. You turn red, choke a couple of times and pay the bill like a gentleman and never enter a word of protest. Don't depend too much upon a name when you go to lick a general manager. He is more likely to be a pleasant young woman. Where are the poor wolking goils? Everywhere! The University of Michigan invited Robert Bridges to spend a year on the campus in a $5000 a year fellowship. It is supposed women students were back of the invitation.
