CLEAN UP DEPARTMENTS THOROUGHLY The scandal monger has had his day. The congressional investigator is having his day. What about the criminal prosecutor? It is high time for him to get busy. It is time to sift evidence, to fix guilt, to prosecute the guilty, to remove from office any and all unfaithful public officials. If the movement against corruption is to begin in gossip and end in political squabbling and attenuated investigating, then will there be no real headway and the forces of evil will be more strongly entrenched than ever. The first task—the first duty and responsibility, is to determine what has been done that is wrong, unlawful and against good public policy. The next step is to place the guilt. This is very important. Scandalizing should stop. Action should be taken. Loose gossiping, crimination and recrimination, playing politics and all these extraneous things, should be forgone. The people want the whole matter brought down to definiteness, to celerity, to real correction of every real wrong. Violators of law should be prosecuted to the limit regardless of their station or influence. The whole nauseousness should be cleared up, the guilt should be punished, the innocent should be exonerated, the scandal mongering should cease, and the confidence of the public should be restored.

The President ap- NO INDEPENDENCE NOW FOR PHILIPPINES The Philippines will not be given political independence at this time, President Coolidge announces. His conviction is that the islands are not yet ready to assume the grave duties and high responsibilities of autonomy. The President approves, in strong terms, the administration of Gen. Leonard Wood as governor-general of the islands. When the Filipinos give evidence of fitness for self-government and when it becomes manifest that independence would be best for the islands, President Coolidge has no doubt, he says, that the United States will grant this boon to the islanders. The question of independence for the Philippines has been and is very delicate. The United States is solemnly pledged to grant independence at the proper time. But the government at Washington reserves the right and prerogative of deciding when the proper time arrives. President Coolidge feels that the United States should continue its benevolent sway over the islands for an indefinite period. Demand for independence, by the Philippine legislature, is rejected flatly by Mr. Coolidge. It would be well for the United States to make clear to the Philippines and to the world that independence is not denied, but only deferred—that it is sure to be granted, in the sincerity of time.

MOSES George Higgins Moses, who is a member of the senate jury passing judgment on the atcs of Harry M. Daugherty as attorney general, is a man from Maine who represents New Hampshire in the senate. He was born in Lubec, in the most northerly east of the states, in 1869. His father was a Congregationalist minister. He married the same year he was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1893. For more than 20 years he was president of the Monitor and Statesman Co., publishers of Concord, N. H., filling in the same time many political offices. He was private secretary to the governor of New Hampshire from 1889 to 1891; secretary of the state forestry commission from 1893 to 1906, and at various times member of the board of education of Concord. He was a delegate-at-large to the Republican convention of 1908. In 1909 he was named ambassador to Greece and Montenegro. This service ended in 1912. He was delegate at large again in 1916. In 1918 he ran for an expired term in the senate, and was re-elected in 1921. Tipton Bud talks some o' move in't th' city where he kin keep a son.

A friend of mine retired at 50. Six months of retirement cared him. He is now 60 and still going strong. The right word at the right time in the receptive car of the impressionable youth may save him years of anguish and broken health. Health finds welcome in the open, ventilated house and arms her host against despoiling hordes, the brigandage of which makes medical colleges necessary. It's simply a question of heart— It isn't a matter of years; When a duffer at sixty's a "tart" While another at twenty's in tears. Children are fond of cats—so are fleas and vermin. Since certain insects-which infest the cat are known carriers of certain diseases, the cat becomes a disseminating host. Blindness from birth is caused by a disease-(opthalmia neonatorum)-a disease that claws at the tender eyes of the new born like a thousand cats, and for which there is certain prevention.

Orange co., per year, $8; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying AS TO EQUALITY FOR WOMEN—Santa Barbara News An insistent campaign is in progress in a number of states for the adoption of a constitutional amendment which will insure to women for all time, equal rights with men in respect. The goal of the originators of this idea is that complete equality under all laws within the jurisdiction of the United States will do away with every vestige of discriminatory legislation against women. But that degree of equality also carries with it the removal of every trace of discrimination in favor of women. If men and women are on exactly equal terms under the constitution and the laws, then every law framed to favor women, no matter for what reason or on what terms, logically and necessarily falls to the ground. Through the years a system of laws has been built up which take cognizance of the needs of women. Because of their duties and responsibilities as wives and mothers special legislation has been enacted in many states reeling to hours of labor and working conditions. In some states factory laws have been framed with special reference to the women workers who compose such a large proportion of these workers. While some of these laws are general in terms, they were framed to meet the needs of women. The system of mothers' pensions in operation in some states is based on the needs of the mothers and their children. It is special legislation, it is true, but it seeks to assist those who must care for fatherless babies. It is discriminatory in favor of women, the mother of the rising generation. It would be well for those enthusiastic members of the women's party when they press their campaign for exact equality under the law to bear in mind that the Almighty did not create man and woman exactly alike. They would do well to remember that the mothers of the race occupy a special God-given position in the world which is beyond the jurisdiction of man-made laws. When they cry for complete equality under the law, let them bear in mind that there are thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands of babies who may suffer because of their campaign.

The determinee woman with very conservative clothes. There is nothing hearty, warm, sincere or cordial about her. There may be a man in this world who could have brought these out in hot but she never found him. The youthful business man who speeds up everything and limits his life so that he can get ahead. The sharp and shrewd type of business man whose crooked eyes have limited his success. He always knows more than the other fellow, and the other fellow always beats him out. The girl with pretty ankles and clothes of a "society lady" who works for a living. She changes her job every month. The tired mother of four children. She has come into town from a suburb to do some shopping. Her lunch consisted of an egg chocolate and a sandwich. A girl with common sense shoes and useful coat. Her wholesome and pretty face smiles—and we smile back. Four pigeons fly over us and light on the roof of the depot. They live their own lives and so do we all.
