SWINDLING PROMOTERS IN OIL DEALS HELD Indictments are being returned, in United States court at Los Angeles, against oil promoters charged with using the malls to defraud. This vigorous procedure should be maintained. This form of swindling is very nefarious. The public should be protected against it. No newspaper should carry advertisements from oil concerns or any other concern whose methods are questionable and whose purpose is to defraud those who give them their confidence and their money for investment. Alluring offers of fanciful returns on investment lead many hard-working persons of limited means, who ill can afford to lose anything, to risk their money. And in too many cases their money never comes back to them. Fraudulent oil stocks are notoriously common and swindles of this nature are cruel and entail hardships upon the persons defrauded. All the might of governmental authority should be directed against these swindles. Those guilty of frauds of this nature should be exposed, prosecuted and punished. Reputable concerns, whose methods are honest and honorable, should decry all indulgence in frauds and should lend their influence toward bringing swindlers to justice and toward breaking up fraudulent practices. Political managers are striving to keep oil out of the poli- cases their money never comes back to them.

RUINOUS EARTHQUAKE IN COSTA RICA Costa Rica has experienced a destructive earthquake which has damaged a great number of buildings and caused many casualties in San Jose, capital of that little republic. This city lies in a region that is subject to frequent severe shocks. That remarkable changes in the physical body of the earth are taking place is indicated by the several severe earth shocks of the last few months—the worst of which was the disaster which befell Japan. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, and property ruined ran into billions of dollars. These dreadful visitations came upon regions which are widely separated, geographically. There seemingly is violent disturbance of the interior of the earth, and in those regions where the earth's crust is thinnest and weakest there occur violent earthquakes, with resultant loss of life and ruin of property. The United States is singularly free from these calamitous quakings of the earth. This country has suffered less, perhaps, from earthquakes than any other territorially great country on the globe.

DINNER STORIES It is not irrelevant to introduce this among dinner stories, for it is one of the most repeated toasts ever given: "Mr. Toastmaster, Gentlemen: I am asked to speak to the toast 'Water, the purest and best of all things God created.' I want to say to you that I have seen it glisten in tiny teardrops on the sleeping lids of infancy. I have seen it trickle down the blushing dimples of youth, and go in rushing torrents down the wrinkled cheeks of age. I have seen it in sparkling dewdrops on the blades of grass and leaves of trees, flashing like polished diamonds when the morning sun burst in resplendent glory o'er the eastern hills. I have seen it tumble down the mountain sides in cascades fleecy as a bridal veil, with the music of liquid silver, filling the vast forest arches with symphonies sweet and dim. I have seen it in the flowing river, rippling over pebbly bottoms, purling about jutting stones, roaring over precipitous falls in its mad rush to mingle with the great Father of Waters, and in the Father of Waters I have seen it go in slow and majestic sweep to join the ocean. And I have seen it in the mighty ocean on whose broad bosom float the battle fleets of all nations and the commerce of the world. "But, gentlemen, I want to say to you now, as a beverage it is a failure." Prohibition Director Palmer Canfield said at a dinner at New York: MEETING My Damon was the first The gentle flame that die; My Damon is the last The faithful bosom's sigh; The life between is nothing O cast it from thy away! Think of the day that birth, And this its sweet r day. Buried be all that has be Or say that naught amiss; For who the dangerous shun In such bewildering this? But love can every fault Or with a tender look And now let naught in live But that we meet, and love. --George C The office cynic says feather their nests quick some never get a position lie trust.

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying "BETTER CLASSES" AND CHILDREN—Fresno Republican A professor of zoology extends his operations into the field of human eugenics by declaring the race is deteriorating by the fact that our "better classes" do not produce children enough and our poorer classes produce too many children. We wish the means by which such gentlemen get attention would include some figures to show that their opinions are well based. We think they are in fact untrue. We do not hold that poverty can produce better men and women. But neither has there been any showing that better men and women are produced from the wealthier "upper classes." Better bodies and better minds go together, usually. But only if they are also reinforced with better "souls." And wealth too often does not produce better souls. And any observation that supposes that cultural advance produces the only capable leadership in communities or nations has been too often contradicted to permit of our glorifying our "intelligent" classes as affording a dividing line between approved and unworthy producers of children. All the efforts of apologists to show that Abraham Lincoln came of "fine stock" does not contradict the fact that Lincoln was, to the superficial observation, born of "po' white trash." Yet what a loss there would have been to American life if Abraham Lincoln had not lived! And what a loss there would be to American life if we depended for our social and communal advancement only on those intelligent classes" among us now. The trouble with men like Dr. S. J. Holmes is that they cannot define, or at least cannot get abroad to their wider audiences, any definition of what the desirable intelligent classes, or "better endowed stock," is. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT THE LIFE Do not say that the life From thousands of past years— AND what a loss there would be to American life if we depended for our social and communal advancement only on those intelligent classes" among us now. The trouble with men like Dr. S. J. Holmes is that they cannot define, or at least cannot get abroad to their wider audiences, any definition of what the desirable intelligent classes, or "better endowed stock," is. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT THE LIFE Do not say that the life lasts not very long; Don't say that we vanish—Like a sound of a song. Life's lines are pulling through—Ages of sublime; We're only the follow'rs—Of once upon a time. We are carrying the wrath; Joy and luck we adore; Nathan Cantor A LITTLE SLICE O' LIFE A slight rattle, Faint but unmistakable; A gentle rumble, Good-natured but insistent; A sharp cracking, Followed by a hissing sound; Yes, a hissing. I can hardly believe it, But there it is again. And other cracklings and rattlings. I glance at my radiator. Over near the window. Surely it can't be the radiator. It is not yet midwinter. There's no snow on the ground. The temperature is only 49. I get up to investigate. And I approach the radiator. The happy sounds continue. I feel the radiator, hopefully. It is as cold as Charity. I glance past the radiator And out of the window. And there is a man out there. Who is starting a Ford? I knew it wasn't the radiator All the time.
