AMENITIES ABOUND IN DAILY LIFE There is much piggishness and inexcusable selfishness and rudeness in the daily contacts of life. And yet there is much courtesy and thoughtfulness. Go into traffic, if you will. A great deal is heard about the reckless driver, who menaces life without scruple. But a great deal more justly might be said of the careful driver who does not imperil lives; who drives with extreme care; and who gives others a fair show. Many a driver will not insist upon taking the right-of-way at intersections when it is seen that some other driver would be discomposed thereby. There is a spirit of comradeship and cooperation among autoists which makes for safety and for cordiality of feeling. And so in other activities of daily life. There is wholesome respect for the rights and immunities of others, on the part of a great many. There is courtesy and due regard for the amenities. This is verily a land of liberty. But it is not, and never should be, a land of license. OUTDOOR LIFE URGED BY PRESIDENT President Coolidge is an ardent advocate of outdoor life. He is moving vigorously to bring about a co-ordination of recreational activities and facilities throughout the country. To this end a conference is being held in Washington, at his call, to consider this harmonizing of recreational accommodations, and to promote the preservation of forests and national parks and natural playgrounds. In addressing the conference, President Coolidge's keynote was "Get the children out of the alleys and off the streets and into the good sunlight and fresh air." Other epigrammatic sentiments expressed by the President were: President Coolidge is an ardent advocate of outdoor life.

In addressing the conference, President Coolidge's keynote was "Get the children out of the alleys and off the streets and into the good sunlight and fresh air." Other epigrammatic sentiments expressed by the President were: "Our youth needs instruction in how to play as much as in how to work. They need opportunity for outdoor life and recreation no less than opportunity for employment. Side by side with the industrial plant should be the gymnasium and the athletic field. Along with the learning of a trade by which a livelihood is to be earned should go the learning of recreational activities by which life is rounded out." Exceedingly wholesome sentiment. California should respond enthusiastically to Mr. Coolidge's efforts to bring all recreational facilities in the Nation into co-ordination, and to maintain and amplify the Nation’s playgrounds. California is deeply interested in this, because this state is the most extensive, most attractive natural playground on the continent. The United States Constitution should not be amended frequently and never frivolously. Things have become so quiet in Mexico again that the bull fight is the chief national attraction.

In the old days the supreme court decided the fate of a law; now common indifference does it. Anybody can be a born leader in a section where followers possess even less sense than he. The true test of chivalry is changing tires for a lady while wearing white flannel pants. Nerve specialists never will starve while there are small daughters to practice piano lessons. Cuss words are never necessary unless an uncouth chap wishes to express his opinion of a lady-killer. We've seen lots of self made people that didn't have nothin' on a home-made hair cut. Ben David apples hain't so bad t' brighten up a sideboard. DINNER STORIES A woman in the mountains of Tennessee was seated in the doorway of the cabin, busily eating some pig's feet. A neighbor hurried up to tell of how her husband had become engaged in a saloon brawl and had been shot to death. The widow continued munching on a pig's foot in silence while she listened to the harrowing news. As the narrator paused, she spoke thickly from her crowded mouth: "Jest walt till I finish this here pig's trotter, an you'll hear some hollerin' as is hollerin'."

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MODES OF DEATH PENALTIES ST. JOSEPH NEWS-PRESS A condemned murderer in an airtight cell paid the extreme penalty of the law in Nevada by inhaling lethal gas, and died—painlessly, the physicians said—in four minutes, thereby demonstrating the efficiency of the new death chamber. But if the Nevada device saves the condemned physical pain, it attains to even greater triumph by saving the executioner mental pain. Four prison guards were stationed at four cocks, connecting the gas tanks with the interior of the cell but there was a fifth guard and a fifth cock, and this latter was a "dud" spouting only compressed air. So each of the five guards may salve his conscience with the thought that the spigot he turned was the harmless one. In Utah the other day a convict was executed by shooting. Five men were in the firing squad, but only four of the five rifles contained ball cartridges; the fifth was loaded with a blank shell. Some years ago in Connecticut the official gallows was so devised that the condemned himself could touch the button that sprung the trap, thereby through suicide, usurping the high office of the chicken-hearted sheriff. All of which is a curious commentary on the modern conscience. Perhaps it is largely hereditary—this reluctance to execute the death sentence upon a criminal—a bequest of the bad old days when courts were as much too severe as they are now too lenient, and when there was an irreconcilable feud between the people and the state. Then the hangman was a byword and a hissing. Today the sheriff with hands calloused from pulling ropes would be a formidable candidate for congress, but he doesn't realize that popular sentiment has changed. We have slight respect for these effilimate devices of the death chamber which relieve the sheriff of a part of his duty he should be least willing to relinquish. WHO ARE CAPITALISTS? SAN FRANCISCO JOURNAL and when there was an irreconcilable feud between the people and the state. Then the hangman was a byword and a hissing. Today the sheriff with hands calloused from pulling ropes would be a formidable candidate for congress, but he doesn't realize that popular sentiment has changed. We have slight respect for these effilimate devices of the death chamber which relieve the sheriff of a part of his duty he should be least willing to relinquish. WHO ARE CAPITALISTS? SAN FRANCISCO JOURNAL Perhaps it is unfortunate that we have come to separate men into two groups, one designated as "capital" and one as "labor", and that it has seemed necessary to distinguish between these groups, for in a very large sense all are "capitalists" and all are "laborers." He who employs money, wealth or property in the conduct of industry, must also exercise mind and body, and use his physical attributes to a very considerable extent if he would succeed in any venture, and thus "capital" and "labor" are combined in the individual. In like manner he who employs his hands and feet, his physical senses, a well as his mind, "capitalizes" his physical resources the talent with which nature has endowed him thus combining "labor and capital", becomes a "capitalist". And just as a man's house is his castle, though it consists of but one room, so do his faculties constitute his "capital" of which none can deprive him. The glory of the American working man is that he can exalt and dignify his labor through his inalienable right to work when and where he will, free from the restraint of those, who, through misguided ambition, seek to divest him of that right. The laborer is worthy of his hire and in like manner he should be ambitions to make the labor worthy of its recompense. So, too, should he that is served recognize the merit of the service, and compensate accordingly, so that through a mutual recognition of responsibilities, a full day's work may receive a full day's pay, and a full day's pay will produce a full day's work.—From the address of J. Edw. Stilz, retiring president, at a meeting of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis.
