Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Man, "symbol of eternity imprisoned into time," it is not thy works, which are all mortal, infinitely little, and the greatest no greater than the least—but only the spirit thou workest in, that can have continuance.—Thomas Carlyle. INAUGURATION DATE IS UNSATISFACTORY Movement to change the date of inauguration of President of the United States is wise, it would seem, and in line with good public policy. Sentiment in favor of this has crystalized, in recent years. It is seen how anomalous it is, after a Presidential election, in which the voters may have reversed completely the incumbent Presidential administration and may have repudiated the incumbent Congress. And yet the administration which thus may have been repudiated remains in political power and functioning for four months after the national election. The President should take office soon after his election—not later than January, after the election in November. And Congress should meet in January, instead of in December. The new administration thus would begin within a few weeks after the elections, and the people would have any changes which they may have desired in the national administration. The Senate has adopted a resolution, favoring submitting to the states a proposed constitutional amendment providing for inauguration of the President in January instead of March, and providing that Congress meet in January, instead of December. It is to be hoped that the proposed amendment may go before the country. It probably would be ratified quickly by vote of practically all of the states.

The path to worthwhile achievement is not a path of ease. JOY IN HIS WORK BUOYS DR. ELIOT The Fountain of Youth lies in the field of joyous endeavor. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, aged ninety, president emeritus of Harvard University, in relating experiences of his own life, attributes a large part of his "content" and satisfaction" to the joy he has had in work. Preserve youth in work, he urges. Youths should learn this in the period of their education. Learn by trial and by observation, in what calling they can win and hold perpetual youth in useful, compatible work. The famous old educator, sprightly despite his fourscore and ten years, is giving no new philosophy or formula to the world in urging joyous work as a preservative of youthfulness. This recipe has come down through the ages from masters of thought. Work, done in cheerful spirit, is the greatest of tonics, the best of health preservers, the elixir of youth. He is no friend of mankind who would advocate and strive for the abolishment of work. A race of indolents would be a deteriorating, retrogressive, miserable, crime-hardened, vice-ridden race. Amelioration of working conditions, where there is no drudgery and overdoing under stress of necessity, there should be. No one should be compelled to work too long or too hard—no one should have to work under disagreeable, depressing conditions. But work there should be for all—rich and poor alike—and all should be compelled to do something useful in the great economy of human life. The time is coming when wilful idleness, indolence and dissoluteness will be outlawed by statute—when there will be no "leisure class" in the pernicious signification of this phrase. No Teapot Dome deal would get by Curtis D. Wilbur. Register! Do not disfranchise yourself by neglecting this essential. Advertising signs mar many a landscape in California. Let Nature display her beauties and sublimities without the handicap of view-obscuring billboards. "The Merchant is the Mariner of business—his Ballast is Credit—his Mooring the Bank" "The Merchant is the Mariner of business—his Ballast is Credit—his Mooring the Bank" Shrewd business men of Anaheim know the value of proper "ballast" and of "mooring" to a strong Bank. For thirty years, these banks have helped them buffet the storms of business, and each year have grown stronger through added experience and increasing resources. Each year a larger number of Anaheim's "mariners of business" "tie up" with us. You, too, can find a safe "mooring" here.

The Roosevelt medal in 1924 awarded for distinction in public office has been conferred upon Root. Past his seventy-ninth birthday, Root is still one of the most active men among the country's leaders. He was practicing law 50 years ago. Root's great-grandfather is said to have fought at Concord Bridge with the 300 Americans who drove 900 "Red Coats" back and chased them to Boston. Oren Root, Elihu's father, was graduated from Hamilton college in 1833. He was a professor of mathematics for 32 years in that institution. Scholars called him Cube Root" behind his back. Elihu Root was born in Clinton, N.Y., February 15, 1845. He obtained his A.B. degrees at Hamilton college and was awarded degrees by Yale, Columbia, New York university, Buenos Aires and many other colleges and universities. His first venture in politics was as U.S. district attorney in the southern district of New York in 1883. President McKinley named root secretary of war August 1, 1899. Roosevelt, too, valued root's services enough to name him secretary of state. In 1903, Root was elected U.S. senator from New York. He served as U.S. consul in the North Atlantic fisheries arbitration in 1910. He comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying SUPREME COURT OF BUSINESS—Chicago Tribune The withdrawal of the name of George B. Christian, Jr., as an appointee to the Federal Trade Commission is properly accepted by important groups of business men as giving opportunity for a vigorous effort to obtain the nomination and appointment of an expert of the highest type to this position. It is properly contended that none but the best type of experienced business man, with the added gift of judicial temperament, ought to be appointed to this commission. The Federal Trade Commission has within its possibilities that of becoming a sort of Supreme Court of business. Its decisions, if comprehensive, wisely economic, and just, can set precedents which will give great stability to trade and industry. If narrow, uneconomic and unjust, they will promote such uncertainty and instability as to handicap prosperity greatly. But if even the wise decisions are to be effective they must have the backing of public confidence and approval. That can be attained only through popular confidence in the high quality of the commission's membership. To be thus effective for the promotion of stability and prosperity, the commission ought to be held in much the same honored regard as that in which the membership of the Supreme Court of the United States is held. That end can be obtained by appointing men of high quality, without reference to politics. If such a policy is followed consistently it will soon become an honor to serve on this commission, such as the best type of men could not refuse. That, we hope, is the goal of the delegation of business men which has conferred with President Coolidge upon the new appointment. They include representatives of the American Specialty Manufacturers' Association, the National Wholesale Grocers' Association and the American Wholesale Grocers' Association. So far as we know, the committee has no candidate. It merely seeks to impress upon the President the necessity of appointing a highly capable man. Certainly that ought to be done. His first venture in politics was U.S. district attorney in the southern district of New York in 1883. President McKinley named boot secretary of war August 1, 1899. Roosevelt, too, valued boot's services enough to name him secretary of state. In 1904 Boot was elected U.S. senator from New York. He served as U.S. consul in the North Atlantic Fisheries arbitration in 1910. He is a member of the permanent court of arbitration of The Hague tribunal; served on te SHRDLUion of international jurists which reported the plan of the world court of arbitration of The Hague extraordinary at the head of a special diplomatic mission to Russia in 1917, and as commissioneridentipotentiary to the conference in the limitation of armament at Washington in 1921. He is affiliated with many well organized associations for the promotion of peace and international relations. He is famous also as a lecturer on national and international law. SHOE MAN MISSING No trace of the missing shoe dealer, Sam Barker, of Santa Ana who disappeared from his home Tuesday morning, has been found leaving a note, saying, "I guess I'm going crazy," and the fact that he was carrying a loaded revolver, lead police of his town to hear he had taken his life. He also took $90 in cash with him. Mrs. Barker admitted she had marreled with her husband just before he left, although she said it was merely a disagreement.
