EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Mine are the birds, and all their happy goings; Flowers nestling sunshine playing in the grass; My cup is filled from all the overflowings, All angels give me greeting as they pass. — Carl Spencer ERUPTION MAY PRESAGE EARTHQUAKES The world famous volcano, Kilauea, in the Hawaiian Islands, is in violent eruption—the first time within the knowledge of white men. While little damage has been done, as yet, there is no foreknowing when it may send forth its fiery blast in destructiveness over the surrounding country. Dr. T. A. Jagger, head of the government volcano observatory at Kilauea, thinks that there is connection between the present eruption and recent seismic and other disturbances in Japan and elsewhere in the Pacific region. Dr. Jagger predicts that there will be continuation of violent disturbances in the Pacific area during the next few years. Science, with all its penetration and ingenuity, has not determined, with finality, the cause of these subterranean violations. The long accepted theory that the interior of the earth is a molten mass, has its doubters. Nothing is known positively. It is all surmise, and conjecture and theory. It seems certain, however, that some gigantic upheaval in readjustment of the interior of the earth is taking place. Whether or not this is to bring cataclyms upon the earth in future, as it has in the past, remains to be seen. The enormous attendance at the Kentucky Derby indicates that "the sport of kings" has not lost its fascination. WORLD COURT PLANS ARE TAKING SHAPE There is hope that before this session of Congress ends, some definite expression may come from the legislative branch of the government as to the participation of the United States readjustment of the interior of the earth is taking place. Whether or not this is to bring cataclysms upon the earth in future, as it has in the past, remains to be seen. The enormous attendance at the Kentucky Derby indicates that "the sport of kings" has not lost its fascination. WORLD COURT PLANS ARE TAKING SHAPE There is hope that before this session of Congress ends, some definite expression may come from the legislative branch of the government as to the participation of the United States in a World Court—either in the tribunal created by the League of Nations, or in some new tribunal yet to be created. The United States should take clear cut, vigorous stand on this momentous subject. It is anomalous that this country, which of all great powers supposedly is most ardently devoted to the cause of just peace, should be dilatory and reluctant with reference to adhering to a world tribunal for fostering peace through calm, judicial methods and procedures. It is time to forget the bitter differences which arose in this country over the League of Nations and to formulate a consistent policy at Washington which should set forth the aims, ideals, and purposes of the country as to promoting peace among all nations and peoples. The world needs any and every influence possible to keep warfare in abeyance and to bring nearer that golden age when men shall forget to war. The influence of the United States should be thrown into the scales in behalf of international good will. America is writing history in the air, and the writing is to extend all around the world.

Zerolene was the oil used. The Willya-Knight won second place, averaging 23.53 miles to the gallon of "Red Crown," and the Gardner took third place, averaging 28.08 miles to the gallon of "Red Crown." These mileage records are all the more remarkable for the new ruling which barred coasting out of gear to save gasoline. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) ZEROLENE BRINGS IN SIX OF THE NINE WINNERS Six of the cars winning trophies in the Los Angeles-Camp Curry Yosemite Economy Run used Zerolene: The Overland, Model 92, winner of first place in the Sweepstakes and Class 2-A; the Overland, Model 91, winner of Class 1-A; the Oakland sedan, winner in Class 3-A and "Closed Car"—and the Kissel, winner in Class 4-A. 29.36 Miles per Gallon of "Red Crown" For the eighth consecutive year "Red Crown" was the only gasoline used in this sensational power and mileage test. The reason for this unanimous choice is shown by the remarkable records printed here. Since the motor fuel was exactly the same gasoline as the public uses—is there any reason why "Red Crown" won't develop more power and better mileage in your car as well? And as for oil, when Zerolene brings in six of the nine winners, won't it pay you to use Zerolene—a better oil—even if it does cost less?

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter WHO'S WHO IN THE DAY NEWS ARISTIDE BRIAND The three men talked of as most probable successors to Raymond Polincare, French premier, when he steps out June 2, are Aristide Briand, Edouard Herriot and Jean-Louis Barthou. Of these three Briand and Herriot are considered the more likely choices. This is an interesting condition in view of the differences of opinion regarding France's best course. Briand holds the idea that France should follow England's economic lead. Herriot believes that, because of the wide differences of interests—the military-economic of France and the purely economic of England—France should cast the decisive vote at the Allies' council table. Aristide Briand, journalist and lawyer, was born at Nantes in 1862, entered politics and was soon a Socialist leader. The party ousted him when he became the first Socialist Premier in history in 1909 and the Federation of Labor called a railway strike in revenge. Thereupon he ordered the railway workers under the colors and the strike ended. His resignation in the following year left the impression that his retirement would be brief and would soon disclose one of the most forceful figures in the republic. The episode of the strike had caused Maximilian Harden to write of him in Die Zukunft: "An Aristides become Draco." That summed up Briand's future war against syndicalism; three years before he became Premier for the first time he had been one of the leaders in the campaign for the separation of the church and government and the rights of the people. WHAT IS GOVERNMENT? Edmund Burke defined it as a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. Men, he believed, have a right that these wants should be provided for by this wisdom. Among wants he reckoned the want, out of civil society, of a sufficient restraint upon their passions. "Society requires not only that the passions of individuals should be subjected, but even in the mass and body, as well as in the individuals, the inclinations of men should frequently be controlled and their passions be brought into subjection. This can only be done by a power out of themselves; and not in the exercise of its function, subject to that will and to those passions which it is its office to bridle and subdue. In this sense the restraints on men, as well as their liberties, are to be reckoned among their rights. But as the liberties and the restrictions vary with times and circumstances, and admit of infinite modifications, they cannot be settled by any abstract rule; and nothing is so foolish as to discuss them upon that principle. "The moment you abatte anything from the full rights of men each to govern himself, and suffer any artificial, positive limitations upon those rights, from that moment, the whole organization of government becomes a consideration of convenience. This it is which makes the constitution of a state, and the due distribution of its powers, a matter of the most delicate and complicated skill. It requires a deep knowledge of human nature and human necessities, and of the things which facilitate or obstruct the various ends, which are to be pursued by the mechanism of civil institutions." Burke, defender of the Thirteen colonies of the English parliament allowed that whatever each man can separately do, without trespassing on others, he has a right to do for himself; and he has a right to a fair portion of all which society, with its combinations of skill and force, can do in his favor. In this partnership all men have equal rights; but not to equal things. As Burke explained it, "He that has but five shillings in the partnership, has as good a right to it as he that has five hundred pounds has to his larger proportion. But he has not a right to an equal dividend in the product of the joint stock; and as to the share of power, authority, and direction which each individual ought to have in the management of the state, that I must deny to be amongst the original rights of man in civil society; for I have in my contemplation the civil social man. It is a thing to be settled by convention." If civil society be the offspring of convention, that convention must limit and modify all the descriptions of constitution which are formed under it. Every sort of legislative, judicial or executory power is its creature. colors and the strike ended. His resignation in the following year left the impression that his retirement would be brief and would soon disclose one of the most forceful figures in the republic. The episode of the strike had caused Maximillian Harden to write of him in Die Zukunft: "An Aristides become Draco." That summed up Briand's future war against syndicalism; three years before he became Premier for the first time he had been one of the leaders in the campaign for the separation of the church and state. During his last Premiership he came as the head of the French delegation to the Washington disarmament conference. There he was a striking figure, altho he utterly ignored the program which Poincare had unofficially advised him to observe—a Franco-American defensive alliance or a France armed to meet any German eventuality. His speech, however, at one of the plenary sessions in which he substantially declined that France should expose herself naked to a revived Germany was one of the dramatic episodes of the conference. When after he had succeeded in negotiating an Anglo-French defensive treaty at Cannes in the following January and was abruptly recalled by President Millerand and faced a chamber which had gradually succumbed to the influence of Poincare's polemies, he declined to move for a vote of confidence and resigned with the simple words: "I have devoted one year of my life in trying to place my country in such a position that it would not be a vassal to any one. I have brought you security. My hands were tied on reparations by the Treaty of Versailles. I have done my best. Let some one else do better." So Raymond Poincare then tried to do better until stopped in his scheme by the elections of last Sunday. DINNER STORIES Bishop Kinsolving of Virginia had two sons who were bishops. One of them, George Kinsolving, was the bishop of Texas. With his clerical attire, the Texas bishop affected the large sombrero hat. A small boy, meeting him on the street one day in Richmond, stopped him eagerly, inquiring: "Are you Buffalo Bill?" "No, sonny," replied the bishop, "I'm Texas George." Some wasps built their nests during the week in a Scotch clergyman's best breaches.

"No, sonny," replied the bishop, "I'm Texas George." Some wasps built their nests during the week in a Scotch clergyman's best breeches. On the Sabbath as he warmed up to his preaching, the wasps, too, warmed up with the result that presently the minister was leaping about like a jack in the box, and slapping his lower anatomy with great vigor, to the amazement of the congratulation. "Be calm, brethren," he shouted. "The word of God is in my mouth, but the De'ils in my breeches!" He was a Scot, with the usual characteristics attributed to his race. Wishing to know his fate, he telegraphed a proposal of marriage to the girl of his choice. After waiting all day at the telegraph office he received the affirmative answer late at night. "Well, if I were you," said the operator, "Ed think twice before I married the girl who kept me waiting for an answer so long." "Na, na!" said the Scot. "The girl for me is the girl who waits for the night rates."
