EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh, if men did but know what the love of God is, they would not wish any other felicity!—Fenelon. SENSE, SANITY AND FAIR DEALING NEEDED It is exceedingly unfortunate that the oil scandal should come contemporaneously with a national political campaign. Much as the mixing of politics with the investigation and the procedure is to be deprecated, evidences come out every day that factionalism and partisanship, rather than unalloyed patriotism, are dominating. The situation is critical in America's social, political and economic life. There has been gross irregularity, to use the mildest term applicable to the transaction at Teapot Dome, under investigation. There may have been criminal corruption there. It is proper and pertinent for the people to demand swift, unsparing inquiry, by legal processes, and firm, unrelenting punishment of any and all found guilty. President Coolidge has named special prosecutors and they are at work. The Senate investigating committee is pushing its investigation, examining witness after witness. The whole machinery of inquiry and of legal procedure to cancel improper leases and to punish, civilly or criminally, any and all who are accused and guilty, is in motion. Meanwhile, the scandalmonger is busy. Reputations are being assailed all along the line, indiscriminately. Even the soundness and integrity of the government itself are being questioned by the superficial thinkers. This is pernicious and highly mischievous, and is cruelly unjust. It is fostering a tendency in this country that is degrading and dangerous—a tendency to belittle and to defame men and women in public and private life and to assail government and established institutions. These things should be inveighed against strongly by the thoughtful, sensible, sanely disposed elements of American citizenship. FIGHT TO KILL IN WAR ON BANDITRY FIGHT TO KILL IN WAR ON BANDITRY Despite the formidable police protection which Los Angeles has been given under the vigorous administration of Chief Vollmer, desperate crimes are committed or attempted by bandits in and about Los Angeles. In one of these attempts, a foray between bandits and policemen resulted in the death of one of the latter and serious wounding of one of the bandits. It is coming to pass the murderous criminals must be met by their own weaponry. Shooting down desperadoes and talking about it afterward, is in order. Each and every one of these bandits is a potential murderer. They deserve no consideration. They should be silenced before they slay some innocent person. If the police and constabulary of Los Angeles County are not able to cope successfully with this menace, it may be in order for law-abiding citizens to arm themselves and be prepared, at any time, to join in the fight to the death on these bloody daredevils of crime. This county should be rid of these deadly pests. The public should support the machinery of the law in every way possible.

Atlee Pomerene to replace Thomas Gregory as special prosecutor for the government in the alting of the naval reserve oil lease cases places a grave responsibility in the hands of the Ohioan. Pomerene, a Democrat, will work with Silas H. Strawn, Chicago Republican, who has been retained as special prosecutor also. Gregory reconsidered his acceptance of the post after his connection with oil companies was mentioned. Pomerene entered the senate the first time in January, 1911, by vote of the Ohio general assembly. He was born at Berlin, Holmes county, O., Dec. 6, 1862. He was graduated from the University of Cincinnati Law School and Princeton and began his public career as city solicitor of Canton. O. Later he served as prosecuting attorney for Starke county and in 1910 was elected lieutenant governor. The following January saw his rise to the senate. He was re-elected in 1917 and again last fall. In 1906 he served as a member of the tax commissioner, appointed by Gov. Harris, which formulated and reported a plan for improvement of the tax laws. DINNER STORIES An old-time mariner tells of a minister who was a passenger on his steamship when a great storm overtook them off the coast. "It looks pretty bad," said the divine. "Couldn't be much worse, air," replied the captain. Half an hour later the vessel was diving under the waves as if she were a submarine, and leaking. "Looks worse, I think, captain," said the clergyman.

THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT MARY AND HER LITTLE LAMB As Zoe Beckley, the Sob Sister, Would Write It) Lightful young creature, she who is Mary who has the lamb, and lamb, itself, as much different from Felix Shoepolish, my cat, lay is from night. Armingly ingenuous was Mary as I first met her, curled up in haven-o, now a couch, for it was daytime. And so naive. Why did you come away over here to interview me?" asked Mae "Surely, I am of no importance." Make not so sure of that, me modest beauty," I replied. "As a serer of fact, the people are much interested in you. It is of youthhoods that I would inquire." Mary lighted a cigarette and blew a few smoke rings toward tulberry hangings of her charming boudoir. She has wonder-stache, has Mary. " Surely there are many more interesting persons to interview I," said Mary, lasily kicking the lamb into the bathtub, which sed in the dainty bathroom just off the boudoir.
