Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The measure of love of God is to love without measure!—St. Francis de Sales. THOUGHT IN POLITICS SORELY NEEDED There is shouting and tumult in the rival camps of the two great political parties. Preparations are on for the campaign that is to nominate and elect a President, and elect the entire membership of the lower house of Congress and one-third the membership of the Senate. Partisan zealots are working themselves into frenzy over the forthcoming contest for supremacy in the national government. But the average person—the man and woman of the masses—is not excited or emotional. There is nothing in the political situation to excite or unduly to arouse any thinking man or woman. It is to be hoped, however, that all persons disposed to thoughtfulness and to the forming of sound judgment will treat this political campaign with the serious attention which its importance warrants. There is no need of tempestuous emotionalism in politics. This is the thing that is least needed. Sound thought, sound sense, seasoned judgment, fearless action and independent course—these are the elements which, if put into play generally, would turn the election, and that to the benefit of the people. President Coolidge has anything but an easy time. Cultivate confidence, good will and understanding among nations as a preventive of wars. The tongue of the malicious villifier is heard in the land. And too many listen to and repeat these baseless villifications. Californians support public schools without stint. The state has one of the best systems of popular education in all the land. All minds are not acst in the same mould. If they were, this world would be intolerably monotonous. Cultivate confidence, good will and understanding among nations as a preventive of wars. The tongue of the malicious villifier is heard in the land. And too many listen to and repeat these baseless villifications. Californians support public schools without stint. The state has one of the best systems of popular education in all the land. All minds are not acct in the same mould. If they were, this world would be intolerably monotonous. "Many men of many minds" is the human formula that gives spice to existence. The American wheat farmer is surely in an economic dilemma. He needs aid, in some form, for the time being. He soon should be able to stand on his feet and to work out his own salvation. Through diversification, co-operative marketing and scientific study of the law of supply and demand he should be able to overcome the adverse conditions which beset him. Conservation of natural resources on the public domain and protection of the people's undeveloped riches against predatory interests, should be demanded by the people. There has been too much laxness in Washington as to these things. The people must demand so vigorously and commandingly that none in authority would dare ignore their demands. YOU ARE INVITED "OUTCOME OF PRESENT STRESS AS SHOWN IN THE SCRIPTURES" By E., F. CRIST MOOSE HALL—135 W. CENTER ST. Sunday, March 9th—7:30 P. M. You will hear something very different from that usually delivered from church pulpits. We are bound by no creeds. The bible predicted the present stress in the world and it also tells what the outcome will be. Don't Fall to Hear This Lecture!

If that Bok peace plan doesn't work, let's fight next time where it doesn't rain all the time. The opposition need not pay $200 for a word since the word Anderson is already coined. Out where Nature laid out 2000-mile golf course, that's where the West begins. Perhaps in time the test of Americanism will be to keep from grinning when saying "scofflaw." Apparently some go to Florida to escape the cold, and some be cause it is too hot for them. We often think judges would be more lenient if they didn't have to listen to so much oratory. A germ specialist says there is little danger in handling money; Not unless it is easy money. Most of the people who are bent with toll have learned how to be bent without being broke. We have forgotten most of our physics, so we can't tell what happens when a radical meets an obstructionist. The disadvantage in being a very small taxpayer is that you never learn to lie with a clear conscience. Why should this glorious free people accept foreign titles when all possible honor is conferred by the word "millionaire?"

"I wouldn't insinuate that she is flirting with Jane's husband," said the gossip, "except that I wish to clear her reputation." About the only way to tell which side is pure in heart is to wait and see which one yells for the state militia. An alien might be forgiven for suspecting that the red represents courage, the blue fidelity, and the white whitewash.

PARAGRAPHS ROBERT QUILLEN A BE MARTIN DINNER STORIES "Have any of you children had a birthday during the past week?" Mrs. Morrow, the Sunday school teacher asked. Three of her pupils raised their hands. "Well, Charles and Betty and Jimmie, you may come forward and put your birthday pennies in the birthday box." The three marched proudly to the front and dropped in their pennies. As each child dropped the pennies, Mrs. Morrow counted so all the class could hear. Five for Charles, six for Betty and— "Why Jimmie, you're more than 3 years old," Mrs. Morrow exclaimed. Jimmie had dropped in three pennies and started back to his seat. "Yes'm," Jimmie agreed readily. "I'm 6." But you only dropped in three pennies," protested the teacher. "Yes, but I'm twins," Jimmie explained. "Teddy couldn't come to Sunday school this morning, but it was half his birthday and he'll have to put in the other 3 cents." Daniel Webster was the guest at dinner of a solicitous hostess who insisted rather annoyingly that he was eating nothing at all, that he had no appetite, that he was not making out a meal. Finally, Webster wearied of her hospitable chatter, and addressed her in his most ponderous senatorial manner: "Madam, peermit me to assure you that I sometimes eat more than at other times, but never less." All patches may be badges of honor, but not all badges are patches of honor.

McLEAN Edward Beale McLean permits himself but nine lines of autobiography in "Who's Who" and he does not give his age. He is very much in the public eye now in connection with the Capeof Dome naval oil reserve issue scandal. He has been in the public eye a great deal before. His marriage to Evelyn Walsh, daughter of the late Thos. W. Walsh, made his children heirs to combined fortunes totaling 100,000,000. He was one of the closest friends of the late President Harding. McLean is a newspaperman born if not a born newspaperman. The two newspapers he controls, the Washington Post and the Cincinnati Enquirer, he inherited from his father, the late John R. McLean, one of the great "personal journalists," a contemporary of Greeley and Watterson and Dana. Young Edward B. was educated under private tuors. His career consists of his connection with his two newspapers. His friendship with Harding was of long standing. He and Mrs. McLean were closely associated socially with the Hardings before and after they entered the White House. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F.

His will was weak, His stomach strong; He lived to eat, But it wasn't long. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying DRIVER WHO HESITATES IS MENACE—San Bernardino Sun "Well, make up your mind," growled one driver at the driver ahead, who had signalled that he was going to turn to the left, had hesitated, and then had gone straight on. "I see that sort of thing every day," said the driver, who had been held up momentarily, to his friend to whom he was giving a "lift" that morning. "The hesitant driver is as great a menace to safety as the reckless driver. One cannot gauge him, one never knows what he is going to do." True of driving, true of life in general. The fellow who cannot make up his mind, throws all our plans awry. He will give us a decision by such and such a day. We build upon that expectation and when the day arrives he is still undecided. When he finally does decide the chances are that the scales of his judgement have been inclined one way or the other through the consideration of a clear analysis of the situation. The only way to deal with the hesitant driver is to watch him, or better still, to pull around and get in front of him. The only way to deal with the hesitant type is general to analyze your man and, if he falls into this class, make due allowances. To depend on him in matters of importance is to build on shofting sands. His was the master hand that God used to make our country. I want to say more about him in tomorrow's Guide Post. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT AMONG THE MISSING Once upon a time A young man called on his girl And he carried a bouquet Of splendid American Beauties. That had set him back one dollar. He also had a box of candy, Two pounds of chocolate and It cost him eighty cents. In his vest pocket he carried Two theatre tickets for seats Right down in front and they Had cost him exactly $2. After the show they had supper And it was a good supper indeed, And it cost him about $1.85. And they both figured they Had enjoyed a large evening. When they went out riding, He got a livery rig for $2. If they wished to get married, He would rent a house for $15 And this would be a month's rent. And he would fill it with furniture. That would cost him not more than $385. He would make $15 a week then And he would save money. What has become of this young man Has any one heard of him lately, Or of any young man like him?
