Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose, beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still to wake and find Thee there. —Harriet Beecher Stowe. CALIFORNIA IS FREED OF ANIMAL PLAGUE California, from present indications, is freed of the epidemic of foot and mouth disease which prevailed among its livestock in some portions of the state. There may be sporadic cases yet. But the epidemic is well under control, official reports denote. The total losses from the malady are far below what the frenzied state of the public mind, in some localities, conceived them to be. A few million dollars will cover the entire loss. The livestock industry is here, unscathed. It represents a grand total valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is basically sound. The epidemic which is just ending may prove to be a blessing in disguise. It may inspire owners of livestock to take better care of their animals—to keep conditions sanitary as affecting their stock. The losses of this visitation soon will be recouped and forgotten. The industry will go right on, flourishing. Meanwhile, conditions are favorable for a good year through California. This little cloud has passed over the horizon. Politics will not be permitted to cloud California's sky. Californians have too much sense for that. They know that there is nothing in the political campaign—nothing in the issues involved, to warrant fright or halting among normal activities. Seeing California is a wonderful experience. The more one travels about the state, the more one becomes enamored of it. Meanwhile, conditions are favorable for a good year through California. This little cloud has passed over the horizon.

But there is relief on both sides of the Atlantic that M. Poincare is out of the premiership and that M. Millerand is to resign the presidency. Whoever may succeed, under the auspices of the “left”—or radical—group in the French Parliament, there is fair assurance that the cause of peace and good will in Central Europe will be fostered better under the new regime than it has been under Premier Poincare and President Millerand. It will be a blessed thing for France, for Europe and for the world to have a new order of things in the government at Paris. The passions and animosities of World War days should pass from governmental circles in Europe. The breaches should be healed. Peace should be promoted in such way as to make for tranquility and security permanently on the continent that for centuries has been the prey of militarism and the theater of the bloodiest conflicts in the history of mankind.

POEMS THAT I WALKED BEHIND THE EVENT AND DREAMED A DREAM THROUGH PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLLEN Home is just a place where you know whose hands have been in the dough. There may be 185 members of Congress named George, but that isn't all they are called. No people can go to the dogs while eating peanuts and pleading for one more run to tie the score. As a matter of simple truth, the average outsider's objection to religion is that it cramps his style. It is now possible to send light around a corner, but just as hard to get through a square head. It is a wonderful age, and we have known adenoids to be transformed into new piston rings. If woman has intuition, why does she need three friends to help her decide on a hat?

The normal man can keep still about everything he knows nothing about except raising the neighbors' children. That chap who says synthetic foods are a dream of the future hasn't been eating at our restaurant. Let me live in a house by the side of a "purty good road" and furnish a mule team for autoists. The normal child mind is logical and can understand the need of almost everything except arithmetic. The queer part is that a genuine Jay-walker and a genuine fool driver usually manage to avoid one another. The law of compensation never falls. The girl without experience who marries a wildower with six children soon gets it. Any good reporter can remain in the office and write up an auto accident, except that he can't give the exact number of quarts. Correct this sentence: "So far," said he, "I have caught 16 chickens in my garden and haven't yet used a naughty word." (Protected by Associated Editors, Inc.) Now why doesn't somebody gather up all the waste paper and discarded lunch boxes, strewn about favorite camping sites; have them baled and show us how they compare, in volume, with the Woolworth building?

DIONI WILLIAMS The historic cruise of the United States naval fleet around the world under President Roosevelt recalled with the announcement that Col. Dioni Williams of the U. Marine Corps is to be promoted to the grade of brigadier general. During the cruise of the fleet bound the world, Colonel Williams won for himself a splendid reputation as a correspondent and writer. His articles occupied prominent places in newspapers and magazines in the United States, Great Britain and France. He is a graduate of both the army and navy war college and considered one of the most highly educated and best equipped officers in the marine corps. Colonel Williams was born in Williamsburg, Ohio, on Dec. 15, 1869. He was appointed to the naval academy in 1887 and became a second lieutenant in the marine crops in 1893.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying GOOD INTENTIONS GONE WRONG—San Diego Union It is a commonplace to remark that the Undesirable Place is paved with good intentions. Everybody knows it. Which is another way of saying that intelligence is the better part of morals. From Oakland comes the story of a young man who wanted to educate himself, help his father out of financial difficulties, and marry a beautiful girl. He had three excellent ambitions—provided the girl of his choice had brains as well as beauty. Yet the news relates that these ambitions brought him into jail, with an ugly criminal record. The young man hadn’t enough naive intelligence, apparently, to regulate his research in economics and philosophy; neither did he have intelligence enough to realize his incompetence in this regard, and to seek professional guidance. The young man studied economics with a frantic bias. Anyone who does that will find plenty of material for increasing both the bias and the fanaticism. He did. So when he graduated himself from study to practical action, and started to practice his theories on property, he ran afoul of the law—for the law is inclined to be conservative, with scant respect for the teachings of Marx, Kropotkin, Krautsky, and the rest. In this manner, his ambitions as a student, a lover and a dutiful son were brought to naught. He is discredited as a student; no doubt he is disowned as a lover; and he has brought his father pain and humiliation instead of filial aid. A similar process, though in a less spectacular degree, is not uncommon. That is how the old saw about hell’s paving originated. Good intentions are strong medicine, and the dose must be regulated carefully. THE ELEMENTS OF FRIENDSHIP TRUTH AND TENDERNESS. These, Emerson believed, are the two elements of friendship. To him each was so sovereign that he could detect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be first named. EBB AND FLOW walked beside the evening sea, and dreamed a dream that could not be; the waves that plunged along the shore said only—"Dreamer, dream no more!" But still the legions charged the beach; soud rang their battle-cry, like speech; but changed was the imperial strain: it murmured—"Dreamer, dream again!" homeward turned from out the gloom— That sound I heard not in my room; But suddenly a sound, that stirred Within my very breast, I heard. It was my heart, that like a sea Within my breast beat ceaselessly: But like the waves along the shore. It said — "Dream on!" and "Dream no more!" —George William Curtis. From deep thinkers, pure thought; from deep wells, pure water. A similar process, though in a less spectacular degree, is not uncommon. That is how the old saw about hell's paving originated. Good intentions are strong medicine, and the dose must be regulated carefully. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE THE ELEMENTS OF FRIENDSHIP TRUTH AND TENDERNESS. These, Emerson believed, are the two elements of friendship. To him each was so sovereign that he could detect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be first named. "A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtey and the second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness, with which one chemical atom meets another. 'Sincerity is the luxury allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank, that being permitted to speak truth, as having none above it to conform unto. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypoerisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow men by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds. "I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances. I much prefer the company of plowboys and tin-peddlers, to the silken and perfumed amity which only celebrates its days of encounter by frivolous display, by rides in a curricule and dinners at the best taverns. Th end of friendship is a commerce the most strict and homely that can be joined; more strict than any which we have experienced. It is far aid and comfort through all of the relations and passages of life and death. It is fit for serene days, and graceful gifts and county rambles, but also of rough roads and hard fare, shipwreck, poverty and persecution. It keeps company with the sallies of wit and the trances of religion. We are to signify to each other the daily needs and offices of man's life and embellish it with courage, wisdom and unity. It should never fall into something usual and settled, but should be alert and inventive, and as rhyme and reason to what is drudgery." (This is but a short extract from a long essay.)
