EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS O soul, this day is thine to imitate! Be thou a day clothed in the living light; Rise to thy task, and be it small or great, Shine on it, till thy smile has made it bright: Smile, smile on all thy duties, and behold! Thy life, like day, shall walk in robes of gold. —Anonymous MAKE GOVERNMENT MORE REPRESENTATIVE The profound, stirring lesson of the scandals being exposed at Washington should be this: Quickening of civic spirit among the masses of the people. There should be an awakened conscience on citizenship duties. If irregularities and improprieties have crept into certain departments of the government, it is the province of the people to correct these by demanding reforms and by enforcing their demands through direct appeals to "the powers that be" or by exercising extreme care in choosing those whom they nominate and elect to office. It is well for the people to be stirred into realization of the fact that they directly are responsible for the quality of government they get. There is urgent need of arousing among the very numerous contingent of good citizens who neglect wholly their duties and responsibilities on registering days and election days. Each and every decent, responsible, forward-looking citizen should feel that upon him or her rests the obligation to assist in giving complexion and quality to government in this country—to all government—national, state, county, municipal. There should be no laxity among good citizens as to these things. When there is laxity and indifference, there is sure to be corresponding defect in some departments and functionings of government. The non-voting people, and those who vote in narrow partisan way prompted by prejudice, are chargeable with responsibility for many shortcomings in ernment they get.

ARAGRAPHS A "young intellectual" is one who talks much concerning new ideas, but never has any. In some circles the word helk" is pronounced "shake"; others it is pronounced "ass." In olden times many of the ouches were deaf; now they rarely wish they were. The papers say gas is to go up. They don't say what institution is be endowed. Some politicians who yearned for the White House would now content with whitewash. We are progressing. A conscience wasn't nearly so efficient before grand juries were invented. A pipe is the cheapest smoke, you don't place any value on the society of your friends. Adjusted compensation for dollar-year men may mean giving them a few more years. The only sure way to prevent future wars is to make some arrangement with the stork. If he gives back a dollar, that's nasty; if he gives back a million, that's philanthropy. He has become an adult when ring brings him the love urge stead of sulphur and molasses. They say Wales is keen on dividing, but we can't help wishing would use a spring board instead of a horse.

In the Japanese Diet, we presume that the stomach is the Secretary of the Interior. A very high blood pressure requires absolute rest; one moderately high, moderate exercise. Through yonder door there flits a fly Which lights upon my custard pie, And writes around it's luscious crust—"From earth to earth—from dust to dust." Liability for the death of an infant might have a powerful purifying affect on municipal milk supplies.* A grocer in a New England town went to a deputy sheriff whose word he knew he could trust for information as to a certain Lew Diggs, who had applied for credit at his store. "Good mornin', sheriff." When we eat sugars and starches excessively, that which is not energized is stored away in the form of fat—usually abdominal fat. DINNER STORIES A grocer in a New England town went to a deputy sheriff whose word he knew he could trust for information as to a certain Lew Diggs, who had applied for credit at his store. "Good mornin', sheriff." "Mornin'." "You know Lew Diggs?" "Yup." "What kind of a fellow is he?" "Purty fair." "Is he honest?" Oh, sure; I should say so. Been arrested twice for stealing and acquitted both times. A distinguished foreigner was buried to the tune of the banana song; we can think of nothing better designed to resign man to the grave.

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter POEMS THAT LIVE JUDGE NOT Judge not; the workings of his brain, And of his heart thou canst not see; What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, In God's pure light may only be A scar, brought from some well won field. Where thou wouldst only faint and yield. The look, the air, that frets thy sight, May be a token that below The soul has closed in deadly fight With some internal fiery foe. Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace, And cast the shuddering on thy face. The fall thou darest to despise— May be the angel's slackening hand Has suffered it, that he may rise And take a firmer, surer stand; Or, trusting less to earthly things, May henceforth learn to use his wings. And judge none lost; but wait and see, With hopeful plty, not disdain; The depth of the abyss may be The measure of the height and pain And love and glory that may raise This soul to God in after days. —Adelaide Proctor. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MENACE OF THE HALTING DRIVER—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 judgment have been inclined one way or the other through the consideration of a minor point and not because 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 in general is 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 shifting sands. IS CIVILIZATION BANAL?—Christian Science Monitor A few weeks ago an item appeared in a London newspaper announcing that two African guides who had crossed the great Sahara with a film expedition had arrived in London to see themselves on the screen. One of them was asked his impression of the great city, and replied, "The people are very nice, but they walk so fast and their faces are sad." This is a judgment which may well give us pause. The first impressions made upon two men belonging to what the world calls primitive barbarism by their first contact with modern civilization were that the people were in a constant state of hurry, and that their faces were burdened with anxiety and care. Is modern civilization such a wonderful product as we are sometimes inclined to believe? A great part of Asia has made up its mind to the contrary and has decided that it is going to resist what it calls excessive materialism of the west. And now Africa seems to be impressed with the same idea.
