Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS O bright occasions of dispensing good, How seldom used, how little understood! —William Cowper. KEEP CAMPAIGN CLEAN, WITHOUT CALUMNY National politics is taking form for the great contest of 1924. Candidacies are rounding into definite status. Issues are becoming more obvious and clearcut. The stage setting is favorable for a great campaign, marked by clear, independent open-minded thinking on the part of the voters. This is the type of campaign that should be encouraged. There should be no torrents of abuse—no systematized, persisting defamation of character. Calumny is not argument. Abuse is not convincing to the reason of men. The election this year should not hang on scurrility. It should be a decent canvass, conducted in dignified manner, with men and issues in the foreground, without scandalous insinuations and without character besmirching gossip. Chivalry and sense of justice and fitness should prevail in political preparations, deliberations and methods. Science achieves its greatest triumphs in preventive devices for warding off menaces to human life and in removing obstacles to human advancement. CARELESS SMOKERS AND FIRE LOSSES Heavy losses from forest fires have occurred in Washington and Oregon. The season of greatest danger from this source is on again. A certain percentage of forest fires originate from cause over which man has no control. But a careful checking of cause in the Sequoia National Forest indicates that careless smokers were responsible for more fire loss than any other one cause. The inexcusableness of this offense against safety is patent CARELESS SMOKERS AND FIRE LOSSES Heavy losses from forest fires have occurred in Washington and Oregon. The season of greatest danger from this source is on again. A certain percentage of forest fires originate from cause over which man has no control. But a careful checking of cause in the Sequoia National Forest indicates that careless smokers were responsible for more fire loss than any other one cause. The inexcusableness of this offense against safety is patent to any and to all who think. It requires no trouble whatever to be careful, in extinguishing a lighted match or in burying in dirt a lighted cigar or cigarette stub. The wonder is that there should be a single fire from carelessness in any forest reserve. It is noted that in localities where special drives have been made in behalf of carelessness, the number of fires steadily has decreased. Everywhere in California there should be agitation against recklessness with fire. Everywhere this menace should be warned against, reprehended and punished. California should strive against this man-fostered peril until instances of carelessness become exceedingly rare. The careless driver and the frequent tragedy in traffic bear the relation of cause and effect. Americanizing should be a perpetual process, in the homes and schools of the country, and through its press and other strong influences. Women are a very important factor in national politics. Their influence is increasing, as they participate more actively in party affairs and at the polls. The Nineteenth Amendment is a boon to the country. Here's How!

"I am So-and-So," he said. "I painted the picture of the angels of which everyone is talking. Your work shows promise, but what is that fish you are drawing?" "A sturgeon, sir," replied the man. "But have you ever seen a sturgeon?" "Have you ever seen an angel, sir?" On the way from one town on Cape Cod to another a Bostonian came upon a charming house by the roadside, which immediately claimed his attention. It bore a fresh coat of white paint, which was well set off by green blinds. There was a smooth piece of lawn in front, a group of fine shade trees, and hammocks, piazza chairs, brilliant soft pillows, and all the adjuncts of summer comfort in luxurious profusion. A boy of 14 accompanied him as guide and adviser. To him the stranger put this query: "Whoe place is this ?" "Oh," said the boy casually, "that's the poorhouse." "The poorhouse! You seem to have luxurious paupers in this town!" "Well, sir, you see, we ain't got but one, and she's an old woman. The overseers board her out with one of the neighbors and let the poorhouse to some of them Boston swells for the summer and that pays her keep." An excellent old gentleman grew hard of hearing and was he ELOQUENT PLEA FOR FORESTS—Riverside (Cal.) Press Much has been said about "Forest Protection Week" by our leaders of national thought, but there is time for another word especially meant for the California that we lose—the California that as Dr. Hilgard used to say, has the natural resources to support a population of 60,000,000 people in health and happiness. The heart of the utterances broadcast over the land is "Stop man-made fires; use, without waste, our timber supply and by constant systematic work, protect, replant and extend our forest areas." Just what have other nations done before us? When young, Gifford Pinchot, now governor of Pennsylvania, studied forest work in Europe in the eighties, he was taken over one of the most famous of the German state-owned forests. He saw happy children gathering wild berries; busy peasants tying up fagots of dead branches and loading them on donkeys for use at home. Then he was shown by the chief forester "the scene of our greatest fire"—not more than five acres, all replanted with nur-grown trees set in straight rows like a California orchard. And how had the fire started? Undoubtedly by lightning; the more suggestion that it was man-made would have stirred the nation to its depths. Some of the most interesting literature of the peaceful years of long ago describe the magnificent forests of France, Austria, Germany; Bayard Taylor's "Views Afoot" takes the reader all over the Black Forest and many of the city-owned forests, such as that on the outskirts of Zurich. The underlying thought of all the best forest studies of California, clear back to 1860, is that the fullest use the most complete protection of our forests is necessary unless we desire to see our land become an uninhabitable desert. Our mountains like the Atlas range, our foothills like Northern China, or Korea, or Central Spain. We have immense areas of treeless heights of low pasture value—cut-over once-forests which are still in private hands but would be vastly more profitable if systematically replanted under scientific management. This carries us one step farther—to the necessity of more and better roads, more community centers, more thought for the welfare of homes and family life, the clearing up of city slums, the taking of mothers and children out into the forests and giving them a love of wild life, trees and mountains. "Oh," said the boy casually, "that's the poorhouse." "The poorhouse! You seem to have luxurious paupers in this town!" "Well, sir, you see, we ain't got but one, and she's an old woman. The overseers board her out with one of the neighbors and let the poorhouse to some of them Boston swells for the summer and that pays her keep." An excellent old gentleman grew hard of hearing and was beset with apprehension lest he become totally deaf. One day, as he rested on a park bench, another elderly citizen seated himself alongside. The apprehensive old gentleman saw that the new comor was talking rapidly, but his ears caught not the faintest sound of the other's voice. He listened intently—in vain. He cupped a hand to his ear, but there was only silence. At last, in despair, he spoke his thought aloud: "It's come at last. I know you've been talking all this while, but I haven't heard a single word." The answer, given with a grin, was explicit and satisfying to the worried deaf man: "I hain't been talkin'—jest a chewin'."

Beyond this the vista broadens into world studies of world education, and the using of man's fighting power against all that is evil. Should not California, the virile young frontier of America, lead in this international work of the next 500 years?
