EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul N. Hester Editor and Publisher PLAYGROUND OF THE WORLD IN CALIFORNIA Much is to be said about California as a great economic commonwealth; full of rich resources and athrob with pulsing industrial activities. Much more might be said. But, while California continues to develop industrially and to increase phenomenally in population and gain in produced riches, yet there is another asset here which is perpetual and which is one of the richest and rarest—that is, the endowment of this state with all that makes an ideal playground. And playground California will be through the generations to come—playground for its own people and for the world. There is ample room here—an empire in extent—territory larger than entire empires of the Old World. Every conceivable variety of scenery. Climate the mildest, most genial. Superb highways. Famed hospitality. Excellent hotel and other accommodations. In a word, every facility that the sightseer, pleasure seeker and vacationist may desire. These attractions will persist. No matter what industrial development there may be, this playground aspect of California will loom prominently. And as the years go by, greater and greater numbers of visitors will come here from afar, to bask in the genial sunshine of California, to enjoy its mountain and sea breezes and to revel in its colorful scenery, made welcome by its generous hospitality. There are several persons in the U. S. A. who are keenly sorry that they ever heard of Teapot Dome. MENACE OF FLOOD SEEN ON EVERY HAND More than a dozen lives lost; property losses running into the millions; and continued endangering of life and property over wide areas—this is one day's flood news, epitomized, from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland.

It may be the Mississippi most MENACE OF FLOOD SEEN ON EVERY HAND More than a dozen lives lost; property losses running into the millions; and continued endangering of life and property over wide areas—this is one day's flood news, epitomized, from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. As the flood proceeds down the Ohio, the harrowing tale may be repeated, from day to day. It may be the Mississippi next—or some others of its tributaries. Or it may be some stream in Texas, or Oregon, or California. And this summer the Colorado may wreak havoc along its way. Which is to say that the menace of floods is not local, but nation-wide. There is no foreknowing when or where a great flood may come, with destruction of life and property. There is but one sovereign remedy for flood perils—remove the perils by scientific control of floods. To this, on a gigantic scale, this country must come. There was a time when girls helped mother wash dishes and when boys helped father do the chores. CO-OPERATION IS NEEDED URGENTLY TODAY The great need of the age is honest, sincere, straightforward cooperation. There is too much striving at cross purposes. There is too much needless rivalry. There is too much of the age-old, self-centered spirit of "every fellow for himself and the devil take the hindmost." Society is becoming so highly organized; economic life is becoming so complex; and interests are becoming so diverse, that mankind must forsake the old self-seeking paths and must make concessions for the common good. Cooperation must come, or civilized society must break down and the noble institutions which have arisen must crumble. Co-operation must come or the worst all struggles must ensue—the uneven struggle for existence in a mad whirl of self-seeking greed. Developing of radio is one of the marvels of the age. No limit to its possibilities is foreseen. Chas A. Boege Candidate For Reelection to the Office of City Treasurer Chas A.

When milk meets microbe morticians follow. The fellow who keeps his cake will often find it turned to dough. To get clean water in your cistern, fill it from your hydrant. 'Tis better to brush 'em, For dentists all say Who picks at his teeth Is courting decay. If there is no hell, what becomes of all the food adulterators? The higher the dairy score the lower the death rate among bottle-fed babies. Milk, when fresh cold and clean, is food; when old, warm and dirty, it's poison. For "skeeters" that sing in the spring, Tra-la, have something to do with our chills. It's all right to throw out your chest, especially if it's one of those old-fashioned medicine chests. The garden variety of sunburn is just as beneficial to health as the Palm Beach variety. Bending your back, outdoors, beats bending your elbow, indoors.

Orange.co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DINNER STORIES A motorist was stopped by a policeman for speeding, whereupon he became angry and called the policeman an ass. After he had paid his fine the judge reproved him for what he had said to the officer. "Then I mustn't call a policeman an ass?" he asked. "Certainly not," said the judge. "You must not insult the police." "But you wouldn't mind if I call an ass a policeman, would you?" "Why, no, if it gives you any satisfaction," answered his honor, with a smile. The motorist turned to the man who had arrested him. "Good-day, policeman," he said, as he left the courtroom. "Junior, you were absent from school yesterday, I believe," Miss Smith, the teacher, said. "Yes, ma'am" Junior answered. "I had to be away yesterday." "Well, the school regulations require a written excuse for all absences, so you will have to bring me such an excuse," Miss Smith explained. "Who from?" Junior asked. "Well, you may bring an excuse from either your father or mother," the teacher replied. "Well, I guess I'll bring one from mother, then." Junior stated. "Papa's an awful poor hand at making excuses!" Their boat was drifting idly, the sun shone above, and the sea was serene; while she was sitting snugly. Then he proposed. From the opposite end of the craft she gazed at him calmly. Then she said: "As a matter of common sense, we should not be in danger." Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying OUTLAW THE READY REVOLVER—San Francisco Journal The chief of detectives in Cincago recently said that nine out of ten crimes of violence have as a basis the use of a "gun." Were it not for the revolver, he said, the holdups, bank robberies, burglaries, gang and other murders would not be committed. It is the American revolver habit which has made the United States the most lawless and most criminal nation on the face of the earth, now or at any time since recorded history. There should be no question of the desirability of taking revolvers from the possession of the people. For every time that weapon is used for a good purpose it is used 100 times for a bad one. There is no vital need for it whatever. The only real question is the practicability of abolishing it. Can it be done? The local permit system has always proved a farce by too liberal use. Also criminals could procure revolvers outside the local prohibited district. There seems to be no effective means of restriction save that of a federal law against the possession of a revolver by others than officers of the law, and the regulation of their manufacturer and sale. It has been argued against this, that the Constitution guarantees to citizens the right to beat arms. Consequently, all anti-weapon laws have been directed against the carrying of them concealed. Carrying a revolver habitually in time of peace is not bearing arms within the meaning of the Constitution. That provision was intended to preserve to citizens their ability to resist oppression and preserve their liberties, not to engage in personal violence. The revolver habit is not properly based upon the Constitution. Would it be held by a court that the habitual carrying of TNT and poison gas, also weapons of defense in these days, in shape to use against individuals, would be a legitimate bearing of arms within the meaning of the Constitution? Why then the revolver and its criminal use? ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT One man we know took a drink of automobile polish by mistake the other day and told his friends it was the best liquor he had got hold of in two years. A Boston scientist says that anybody who spends more than $2 a week for food is extravagant. But most of us have to eat more than twice a week. Well, you may bring an excuse from either your father or mother," the teacher replied. "Well, I guess I'll bring one from mother, then." Junior stated. "Papa's an awful poor hand at making excuses!" Their boat was drifting idly, the sun shone above, and the sea was serene; while she was sitting snugly. Then he proposed. From the opposite end of the craft she gazed at him calmly. Then she said: "As a matter of common sense, realizing that we are in this boat, on water more than 50 feet deep, and if you were going to act as you should act if I accepted you, we would be capazized. I will decline your proposal at this moment—but, George, row as fast as you can to the shore and ask me again."
