Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Put the bright torch of Heaven in my hand, That I may carry it aloft, and win The weary eyes of wanderers here below, To guide their feet into the way of peace. —Horatius Bonar MAKE SURE TO VOTE IN STATE PRIMARY Californians, on Tuesday, May 6, will express their preference for the Presidential nomination of both the major political parties. It should not be necessary to dilate upon the importance of this polling. It represents the sentiment of the bank and file of the Republican and the Democrat faith in this state as to the Presidential nomination. Now, an expression of this kind would not be truly representative if only a fraction of the voters went to the polls. To be impressive and to be representative, truly, of the sentiment and feelings of the masses of voters, the vote should be heavy—well up to the registered strength of each party in the state. Good citizenship expresses itself at the polls. Unless it does not give expression at the polls it is not so good as it should be. California should be exemplary in this respect. It would attract the attention of the country and would evoke admiration for the quality of citizenship in this state, if there should be an extraordinarily heavy polling on the sixth of May. Careless smokers cause forest fires which do millions of dollars damage. Is there any possible excuse for this? Assuredly not? CHILD LABOR MAY END BY 'AMENDMENT If the Senate concurs in the action of the House, the states of the Union will have referred to them a proposed CHILD LABOR MAY END BY AMENDMENT If the Senate concurs in the action of the House, the states of the Union will have referred to them a proposed amendment to the United Ctates Constitution to empower Congress to limit, regulate or to prohibit the labor of youths under eighteen years of age. It is to be hoped that the Senate will act favorably upon this measure at the present session. Because of adverse decisions of the United States Supreme Court it seems to be impossible to enact national child-labor laws that would be held valid by the highest-court. It has been decided, by those convenant with the situation, that the only practicable way to bring about this regulation or suppression of the hardships of grinding labor in factories, mills or mines for children of tender years, is to amend the Constitution, so as to give Congress unquestionable power in the premises. None but competent, careful persons should drive automobiles. The Presidency of the United States should seek the man. It's a dull day when nobody starts to fly around the world. Substantial relief from high income taxes should be given the people. Bring along the political issues. But leave the scandal out in the refuse heap, where it belongs. Europe can have no economic stability and no general rehabilitation until the reparations problem is solved once for all.

A little righteous punishment, Less for our deeds than their intent; A little pardon now and then, Because we are but struggling men. A little light to show the way, A little guidance where we stray; A little love before we pass To rest beneath the kirkyard grass. A little faith, in days of change, When life is stark and bare and strange; A solace when our eyes are wet With tears of longing and regret. True it is that we cannot claim Unmeasured recompense or blame, Because our way of life is small; A little is the sum of all. —Unknown. OPPORTUNITY Master of human destinies am I!

ELIOT A public tribute will be paid to Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, at Cambridge, on March 20, the occasion of his 90th birthday anniversary. It will be attended by representatives of the alumni and leading citizens. Dr. Eliot, who was born in Boston in 1834, was president of Harvard from 1869 to 1909. His election was considered remarkable, first because of his youth and second because he was a layman and a scientist. During his administration he led in the development of graduate schools and the elective system in under-graduate work. Under his direction the medical and law schools of Harvard University grew to their present importance and influence. The raising of entrance requirements of universities, which has led to a corresponding raising of standards of graduate schools, and the introduction of choice of entrance requirements have had a nationwide influence under Dr. Eliot's leadership.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying SUPERSTITIONS, NOW AND LONG AGO—San Diego Union Two bulls were prominently featured in recent ceremonies at the re-opening of King Tut's tomb, the Associated Press said yesterday. The bulls got very little gratification out of their prominence, though, for they were slaughtered as a "sacrifice" designed to typify the ancient ceremonies attending any event of this nature. Two hundred official visitors declared the affair very picturesque, and nobody seems to have bothered much over the bulls' impression of the celebration. We suspect a little hypocrisy in this sacrifice business. Of course, everybody said that the thing was done merely as a picturesque touch, to revive an ancient tradition and make the holiday unique. But we suspect that there was another motive. The ancient Egyptians killed their selected bulls, on occasions of this sort, for the purpose of getting the friendship of the ancient gods of that locality. They did it "for luck", as we enlightened, modern folk would say. It's more than likely that the modern Egyptians had the very same purpose "dimly" in their minds. They wanted "luck", and they thought the ancient manner of getting it was about as good as any. If this is true, it is very funny—because of course, there aren't any ancient Egyptian gods any more, and there aren't any gods at all who are interested in fresh beef. We all know that. This, then, is a good joke on the modern Egyptians, and may be laughed at freely by the following persons: The man who doesn't mind walking under a ladder; the man who really doesn't notice it when a black cat runs in front of his car; the man who accepts the "third" light from a match; the man who never has a hunch, et, perhaps, al. THE COMMON MIND The cultured class, so-called, is wont to look with contempt upon the thoughts of the common man. And not without reason. Dr. Elliot has received many honors from European governments. He belongs to a number of educational and scientific societies in this country and Europe. Besides his bachelor and master of arts degrees from Harvard, that university has also conferred upon him the degrees of doctor of medicine and doctor of letters. He also has received degrees from several other American universities and the degree of doctor of philosophy from Breslau University. Mac Gregor was telling of the recent arrival of a cousin from Scotland. The Immigration Quota law operated against the relative's immediate admission and he was forced to spend three weeks at Ellis Island. Finally he was admitted and Mac Gregor was in New York to greet him. "And de ye ken, mon, he cudna speak a word tha' I cud understand," he said in telling of the meeting. But in spite of the difficulty over speech, the two cousins were everjoyed at the reunion and talked steadily, if with mutual difficulty, about relatives and old times. Eventually the conversation touched on the new arrival's carceration at Ellis Island. "Tha' weer awful'; ya havin' to tap in the 'ole for three weeks," commiserated MacGregor. "Weel, it didnt coos' me naeing," answered the cousin. Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones, warens of a prominent city church, were not in accord concerning the new rector's introduction of extreme ritual into the service. Mr. Smith was aggressively on the rector's side. Mr. Jones quite reverse, and on one occasion their difference of opinion cropred out in a lively, though brief alouge. Mr. Smith, having exhausted his arguments on his unresponsive brother warden, said: "At least you will own that art the handmaiden of religion." "Yes," returned Jones savagely, and I wish religion would give or a month's notice!" THE COMMON MIND The cultured class, so-called, is wont to look with contempt upon the thoughts of the common man. And not without reason, for too often the mind of the average, or common man, is a disorganized medley of racial superstitions and bigotries and beliefs impressed on it by conscious and subconscious acceptance of the feelings of the majority. The difference in minds depends on the extent of their cultivation. A mind that is like a tract of farm land; if it doesn't produce anything of value it is because it isn't cultivated enough, or because the wrong method of cultivation is used. Properly fertilized, any soil is productive. That which is sound in the philosophy of the common mind usually is founded on proverbs handed down by the race. Every people has its own proverbs; yet the proverbs of the various peoples when compared show a remarkabde unanimity of common thought. Take these proverbs, for instance. They are maxims handed down in China for many centuries, and are believed to be inventions of that race, but they seem as much Occidental as Oriental. "The greatest conqueror is he who overcomes the enemy without a blow." He that does not believe in others finds they do not believe in him." "A vacant mind is open to all suggestions as a hollow building echoes all sounds." "The greater the number of laws the more thieves there will be." "A diamond with a flaw is preferable to a common stone with none." "The ungrateful son is a wart on his father's face; to leave it is a blemish, to cut it off is painful." "If the root is neglected, what springs from it cannot be in good condition." "A hundred paths present a hundred difficulties." "To go beyond is as bad as to fall short." "One actor cannot make a play." "Marble is not less hard or less cold for being polished." "The poorer one is, the more devils one meets." "Rats know the way of rats." "A man cannot become perfect in a hundred years; he may become corrupt in a day." "It is the beautiful bird which gets caged." "When one horse will not go a hundred are thrown into confusion." In digging up a tree you must begin with the root." "A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor a man perfected without trials." "Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous."
