BIG BENEFITS DERIVED FROM CONVENTIONS Southern California is benefiting immensely by a number of state conventions being held in the citiec of this section this year. These gatherings are bringing together representative men and women of many localities throughout the state. This mingling together and the interchange of thought and the discussion of plans and purposes—all these things are useful and profitable to all who participate. Stimulus to the best in community life is given by the meeting of these convention bodies in any given city. This Southland would do well to strive energetically in future to bring to this section many large and desirable conventions. This state has had one of the great national political conventions. It should have one or both of them four years hence. A fair arrangement would be for Los Angeles to strive for one of these great assemblages, and for San Francisco to seek the other. This would be just to both sections of the state and also give the delegates to the two conventions a diversity of experiences in this state. California should become the preeminent convention state of the Union. It has all the advantages and resources which make it popular with conventions, and its hospitality is proverbial. Governmental affairs should be impregnated with integrity, sincerity and decotion to the common weal. CAUTION WITH FIRE IS NEEDED NOW The season is at hand or handling fire with extreme care. Not to say that there is any season when fire may be handled carelessly. But the summer, as every Californian knows, is the season of extraordinary peril from fire. It is the season when everything except the water faucet, is dry as tinder. It is the time to safeguard life and property with exceptional care. Carelessness with fire is not to be construed as applying only to the forest reserves. It should be the rule in cities and towns, and country settlements, as well as in wooded areas. Hundreds of millions of dollars is lost annually through fires that are preventable. Whole cities are devastated from one little piece of carelessness with fire. This is opportune time to clean up the premises—to remove and destroy rubbish of an inflammable nature, and to remove tinder-like material, so as not to invite a destructive blaze. This is a work that should be entered into with zest here. Besides removing the menace of fire, this cleaning up adds to the neatness and attractiveness of premises. To express it moderately, Europe should beat its swords into tractors. Prevention of fires should be the cardinal aim of all. Give cooperative aid in combatting the preventable fire. 21 Better Service Stations carry the sign of the 4-leaf Clover Better gasoline—better lubricants—and better 21 Better Service Stations carry the sign of the 4-leaf Clover Better gasoline—better lubricants—and better service—at PAN-GAS service stations!

In 1922 as a result of a coalition of Clericals and Pan-Germans, Ignaz Seipel was made head of the Austrian governments. Preceding governments, all of varying degrees of radicalism, had achieved nothing toward Austrian rehabilitation. The value of the krone had dwindled to invisibility, and starvation of the nation was warded off only by the charity of the powers which had been Austria's enemies in the war. Thoroughly convinced by four years' experience that Austria could not be saved by radicalism the people turned to conservatism as a final experiment. Chancellor Seipel at once inaugurated the policies which have been markedly successful in pulling Austria out of the slough of hopelessness and of restoring her to a large measure of self-sufficiency. He convinced the League of Nations of his ability to carry thru his program, and the league sent to Vienna as its agent an able Dutchman named Zimmerman who added Seipel in securing loans and in affecting desirable economies. Today Austria stands practically on her own feet, and her future is far from gloomy. Ignaz Seipel is a Catholic priest. It is seldom in these days that a member of the clergy of any church combines statecraft with the practice of religion and ascends to the leadership of a nation. This tends to make more Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying SAFFRON JOURNALS IN CONTEMPT—San Francisco Journal The Chronicle, the Express and the Standard of London, the Manchester Guardian and the Norwich Mercury, a week ago had the pleasure of "paying through the nose" for interfering with the course of English law. The Standard was accused of having kept a leading witness in a trial for murder out of the way of the police and with publishing a statement from the witness after the police had warned her to make none to any person. The Express, which like the Standard, is rated as a yellow paper, and the Guardian, were also charged with contempt of court in the same case. The fines cost the five journals 1800 pounds and costs, while all, except the Standard, also apologized for their contempt of court. The presiding judge, no less a personage than the chief justice of the King's Bench Court, did not mince words in speaking of the newspapers' offence. He alleged that in recent years newspaper contempt of court has increased and gave warning that if more occurred, imprisonment instead of fines might be the punishment. He added that newspaper investigation of crime is likely to interfere with due administration of criminal law. He described "this business of an amateur detective investigation, followed by immediate publication of the results," as a perilous undertaking. The affair has its lesson for the American press and particularly for yellow newspapers. When its English brothers attempted to influence the prophesies and results of the court they were called to account. The question our people and courts should ask is: "When is the license of the press to be bridled? When will the creator of the power of the press control its creature? When will the people say to it: 'We, not you, are the master.'" Trial by newspaper and attempts by newspapers to influence the outcome of cases in court are intolerable. The attacks of yellow newspapers upon President Coolidge for example constitute abominable instances of license. Our yellow papers are supported by monetary magnates who perhaps do not realize what they do. They shape a monster that will destroy them as Frankenstein's monster destroyed its maker. Nations of his ability to carry thru his program, and the league sent to Vienna as its agent an able Dutchman named Zimmerman who added Seipel in securing loans and in affecting desirable economies. Today Austria stands practically on her own feet, and her future is far from gloomy. Ignaz Seipel is a Catholic priest. It is seldom in these days that a member of the clergy of any church combines statecraft with the practice of religion and ascends to the leadership of a nation. This tends to make more notable the achievements of Chancellor Seipel, and the fact that he is conservative without being reactionary is another point of interest. Though the Pan-German aided him to become master of Austria he has not sought to forward the Pan-German fallacies. His work has been all for Austria. He has not only saved Austria from starvation and dragged her up from bankruptcy, he has also rescued her from bolshevism and established representative government on a firm basis. Levi Cohen was looking very dejected. That morning he left the house with $20 in his pocket to try his luck at the races, but alas! he had returned at nightfall footsore and weary, and nothing in his possession but a bad penny. No wonder his better half was in a bad temper. "How is it," she snapped, "that you're so unlucky at the races, and yet you always win at cards?" "Well, my dear," responded Levi, meekly. "you see, it's this way: I don't shuffle the horses." GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE ONE MAN'S VIEW OF LIFE Early in his life Samuel Butler began to carry a note book and to write down in it everything he wanted to remember; it might be something he heard some say, more commonly it was something he said himself. In one of these notes he gives a reason for making them: "One's thoughts fly so fast that one must shoot them; it is no use trying to put salt on their tails." Butler, the author of "The Way of All Flesh," surely one of the greatest novels of recent times, said these things about Life in his notebook: "Life is one long process of getting tired. Life is the distribution of error—or errors. Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless, one had better know the rules for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases. Life is not so much a riddle to be read as a Gordian knot that will get cut sooner or later." "A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities, as well as those of other people, will keep him from the commission of all sins, save those that are worth committing. There are two great rules of life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can, in the end, get what he wants if he only tries this is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is, more or less an exception to the general rule. Nature is essentially mean, mediocre. You can have schemes for raising the level of this mean, but not for making every one two inches taller than his neighbor, and this is what people really care about. All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income. Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo, not for a man."
