Heater Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with The in breathless adoration, In the calm due and freshness of the morn. —Harriett Beecher Stowe. ABUSE OF OFFICIALS IS HURTFUL Indiscriminate, reckless, cruel abusing of public officials is sure to react hurtfully upon the public service in this country. Its bad effects are manifest in many localities. Men of character and public standing refuse to take public office because they will not expose themselves and their families to calumny, and to the humiliation which wholesale abuse brings. Nor are they to be blamed for this. Rather the people are blameworthy for not shielding faithful men in public service against aspersions and assaults upon character. This is a galeous fault in American political and social life—the bandying about of scandal. The country has been sickened with a disgusting exhibition of this, in recent months, through the investigations at Washington. Assailing of characters has proceeded with methodical continuity. Many have been besmirched. Several have defended themselves successfully against calumnies. Several have ignored the assaults altogether, trusting to the fairness of the people to set them right. This atrocious evil should be eliminated. Faithful men in public service should be immune to unwarranted abuse and to personal detraction. The people should reform this evil for their own welfare, for, if they do not, the quality of the public service will suffer. Men of superior qualifications will keep aloof from public place. Adversity oftentimes is a blessing in disguise. Moderation in speech and action gets more accomplished, as a rule, than the violent, intemperate outbreak.

Moderation in speech and action gets more accomplished, as a rule, than the violent, intemperate outbreak. They are perfecting a process for sending photographs by long distance telephone. What a boon for ardent lovers! The man who is faithful to every trust is rewarded by being trusted. When Congress plays politics, the people pay the penalty of the folly. June is a ripening month.

Just to make it interesting, we dare either party to put in a bobbed-hair plank. The great need is not a gas that won't burst into flame, but prejudices that won't. Every man should have enough religion to enable him to quarrel intelligently about it. Every man should be required to live in this country three months before using the world "allen." There isn't much chance to Americanize aliens whose racial cosmos includes the savings habit. The old-time fighting man drew a gun; the new one finds it more profitable to draw a crowd. If long legs are a sign of intelligence, Uncle Sam may have profiled by having his pulled. Many places have climate, fishing, etc., but their prices are not high enough to qualify them as resorts.

TAGGART'S WESTERN DEMOCRATS WILL DEMAND PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE," SAYS WHEKLER "The west will demand that the Democratic national convention delegates pick a progressive candidate. It looks now as though the winner in the convention would be some dark horse with progressive tendencies." This is the opinion expressed recently by Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. "The Democratic party must nominate an outstanding progressive if they do not want to see a third party carry enough western states to throw the election into the house of representatives," he continued. Among the chief issues in the campaign, Senator Wheeler predicted, would be corruption at Washington, the tariff, foreign relations and farm relief. If the older parties did nothing about farm relief, he said, it would become the issue of a third party. Senator Wheeler said that the revelations of the investigating committees at Washington would play an important part in the campaign. He said that his committee probably would recommend grand jury action as the result of the department of justice investigation, and would ask for more than one indictment. "In order to restore public confidence in the government, we need a house-cleaning, not only in the department of justice, but also in some of the other departments." Let me say, however, that there are men of high character and probity in Washington, and the All her free favor And smooth woes in vain O, did ever voice only feign?

F.P.TAGGART USED CAR DEPARTMENT $02 North Los Angeles St. OSWALD ERNALD MOSLEY Oswald Ernald Mosley, the prominent young politician who, although heir to the baronetcy, as son-in-law to the Marquis of Curzon, formerly Secretary of Foreign Affairs, has just joined the Labor party, hopes to have his first trip to the United States this fall. He will be accompanied on the trip by his wife, the former Lady Cynthia Curzon, granddaughter of L. Z. Letter of Washington, to whom he was married in 1920, and who is understood to share fully in his conversion from conservatism to socialism. Mosley has been a member of parliament since 1918. He was born in 1897. The Mosley home, in which he resides, is famous now as one of the few Queen Anne houses remaining in the British metropolis. During the world war Mosley saw real service, part of the time as a member of the royal flying corps. Why worry about dying? That's the insurance company's business.

Near them, on the sand. Half sunk, a shattered viage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things. The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, foundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. —Percy Bysshe Shelley. KIND ARE HER ANSWERS Kind are her answers But her performance keeps no day; Breaks time as dancers From their own music when they stay. All her free favors And smooth words wing my hopes in vain. O, did ever voice so sweet but only feign? Can true love yield such delay, Converting joy to pain? Lost is our freedom When we submit to women so; Why do we need 'em When, in their best, they work our woe? There is no wisdom Can alter ends by fate prefixed. O, why is the good of man with Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MR. LINCOLN ROSE BY HARD WORK—St. Joseph News-Press The public speaker, school teacher, or clergyman who tries each year to say something about Abraham Lincoln can follow several lines of thought. He can deal with the democratic spirit of this great American, his high ideals of justice, and his great achievements. But perhaps the most inspiring thing he can say is to point out the romance of Lincoln's rise from the most humble beginnings. The wonderful thing about Lincoln's early life was that he so steadily rose to prominence and fame, though his combined schooling would not have made more than one year. But let no one think that that means that it is unnecessary to go to school. Lincoln knew better than that, but he knew also that every ambitious person can constitute a school of one and learn from the great masters and by seeking the society of intelligent people. So while other boys were idling away their time, Lincoln was reading the Bible and Shakespeare and the history of the United States and the life of Washington. Any person who will read such books is bound to grow mentally, and will be able to think larger thought and understand bigger problems, and meet and deal with more important people. The young person who starts out with such reading soon becomes able to meet thinking people on their own ground. Lincoln soon began to gather the reward of his studious efforts. Before long he was getting elected to the legislature, reading law, acquiring practice and winning attention as a growing man. Of course, few people have any such mental gifts as Lincoln possessed. But he would never have achieved fame had he not worked hard for self-improvement. Any boy or girl, no matter how humble the beginnings, who will do likewise, can rise far beyond the starting point.

DINNER STORIES "She was a dainty young thing, dressed in the latest fashion, and as she tripped up the stairs, the office boy gasped, then grinned, as she came to a standstill before him. "Yes, miss!" he asked, rather impertinently. "Could you tell me if Mr. Jenks is in?" she asked. The boy nodded and pointed vaguely over his shoulder at the open door. The girl hesitated for a moment. "Do you know if he is engaged?" she inquired. The boy looked astonished. "Engaged?" he almost shouted. "Engaged! Why he's married and got two kids!" The mistress was attracted to the kitchen by a terrible clatter and evident sounds of scuffling. When she arrived the room was deserted except for the cook. "My Nora, what was all that noise I heard out here?" anxiously questioned the lady. "You see, mum, the policeman just tried to kiss me." "Oh, and you were compelled to use force to prevent him?" "Well, not exactly, mum, but you see, the ice man!" Two pickaninnies, not thoroly accustomed to ocean bathing, were engaged in a "water fight" on the beach one windy afternoon. The fight consisted of desperate efforts on the part of each combatant, breast deep in the water, to dash more of the ocean in his opponent's face than he himself was getting. They did not notice the huge wave which rolled slowly up to them, lifted the little fellow nearest the beach off his feet and sat him gently in the back water. Considerably surprised, the pickaninnny rose to the surface, dripping and spluttering, and turned to his companion, an awed expression on his face. THE PART OF EXPERIENCE AND HUMANISM "Experience is a process that continually gives us new material to digest. We handle this intellectually by the mass of beliefs of which we find ourselves already processed, assimilating, rejecting or fearranging in different degrees. Some of the apperceiving ideas are recent acquisitions of our own, but most of them are common-sense traditions of the race. "There is probably not a common-sense tradition, of all those which we now live by, that was not in the first instance a genuine discovery, an inductive generalization like those more recent ones of the atom, of inertia, of energy, of reflex action, or of fitness to survive." When William James, master psychologist, found himself playing sympathetically with humanism, this was something like what he perceived it to mean. "The notions of one Time and of one Space as single continuous receptacles; the distinction between thoughts and things, matter and mind; between permanent subjects and changing attributes; the conception of classes with sub-classes within them; the separation of the fortuitous from regularly caused connections; surely all of these were once definite conquests made at historic dates by our ancestors in their attempts to get the chaos of their crude individual experiences into a more shareable and manageable shape. "They proved of such sovereign use as denkmittel that they are now part of the very structure of our mind. We cannot play fast and lose with them. No experience can upset them. On the contrary, they apperceve every experience and assign it to its place. "To what effect? That we may the better foreseen the course of our experiences, communicate with one another, and steer our lives by rule. And also that we may have a cleaner, clearer more inclusive mental view." "The greatest common-sense achievement, after the discovery of one Time and one Space, is probably the concept of permanently existing things." "When a rattle first drops out of the hand of a baby he does not look to see where it is gone. Non-perception he accepts as annihilation until he finds a better belief. That our perceptions mean beings, rattles that are there whether we hold them in our hands or not, becomes an interpretation so luminous of what happens to us that, once employed, it never gets forgotten." "Truth means, according to humanism," wrote James in this essay ("Humanism and Truth"), "the relation of less fixed parts of experience (predicates) to other relatively more fixed parts (subjects); and we are not required to seek it in relation of experience as such to anything beyond itself. We may stay at home, for our behavior as experiments is hemmed in on every side. The forces both of advance and resistance are exerted by our own objects, and the notion of truth as something opposed to waywardness or license inevitably grows up inside of every human life." The fight consisted of desperate efforts on the part of each combatant, breast deep in the water, to dash more of the ocean in his opponent's face than he himself was getting. They did not notice the huge wave which rolled slowly up to them, lifted the little fellow nearest the beach off his feet and sat him gently in the back water. Considerably surprised, the plekaninny rose to the surface, dripping and spluttering, and turned to his companion, an awed expression on his face. "Boy," he said breathlessly, "boy, yo' got me licked!" Two Englishmen of the old conservative country family type sat next to each other every day on the boat deck of an Atlantic liner without exchanging a single word. At 11 that morning the day before they were to land, just after the beef tea had been served, a gust-of wind blew the cap off the head of one of the passengers. The chair of his fellow traveler stopped it from going overboard. The latter picked up the cap and handed it to the owner, who said "Thank you," and then, as he adjusted his headcovering carefully, added: "Are you crossing?" "Yes, are you?" "Yes," replied the first traveler gravely, and the incident closed.
