EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh, sweet the dropping eve, the blush of morn, The starlit sky, the rustling fields of corn, The soft airs blowing from the freshening seas, The sun-flecked shadow of the stately trees, The mellow thunder and the lulling rain, The warm, delicious, happy summer rain, When the grass brightens and the days grow long, And little birds break out in rippling song! —Celia Thaxter. RIGHT TO VOTE LOOKED UPON LIGHTLY The right to vote is esteemed too lightly by too many persons eligible to vote. They fail to use the ballot. They treat with contempt a functioning that should be regarded as the most solenin and the most sacred that could come to citizens of a republic. It may be the perversity of human nature, which impels people to treat indifferently that which comes to them too easily and without price or effort. The franchise right does come easily to this generation. But it did not come easily originally. It came through blood and anguish. It should be respected for this, if for no other reason. In this free country the ballot should be used habitually, intelligently and independently. It should be made the weapon of offense, to promote good government, to foster welfare of all the people and to protect the weak against the cruel usurpations and rapacities of the strong. It should be made the weapon of defense against corruption, tyranny and decadence in governmental ideals and methods. If every candidate had as easy a time getting nominated as Catevin Coolidge had at Cleveland, politics indeed would be irresistibly alluring. CRISIS IN JAPAN VERY THREATENING CRISIS IN JAPAN VERY THREATENING NOW Japan is highly agitated over matters political and over the exclusion law passed by the American Congress. A new ministry is being formed at Tokyo. It is headed by Baron Kato, fortunately—a statesman of great abilities and of ripe experience. He hardly would permit this government to go to rash extremes in dealing with the United States over exclusion or any other issue that may arise between the two governments. The inflamed state of public opinion in Japan over the enactment of the exclusion measure by the United States should pass. The more intelligent element of the Japanese should be a deterring influence to prevent violent outbreaks against Americans. The interests of Japan lie in cultivating peace and cordial relations with the United States. The interests of the United States lie in cultivating peace and cordial relations with Japan. Each country should feel its responsibility and recognize its opportunity in this. After the passions of the hour in Japan have subsided, it is to be hoped that the two countries may become in accord and that exclusion, which has been a threatening factor in relations between the two countries, may become a closed issue on terms acceptable to both countries. This country has won its point in dealing with immigration from Japan. Exclusion has been established and will be a permanent policy. Hence, this country can afford to be factful and inoffensive in its attitude as to Japanese feeling. AMERICAN AVIATORS IN GOOD FORTUNE YET American army aviators, in flight around the world, are crossing Asia rapidly, in 300 and 500-mile laps. They are having the best weather they have had since they started on their historic journey. Soon these intrepid journeymen of the air will have crossed the historic precincts of Asia and will be in Europe, traveling directly toward home. Within a few weeks, should all go well, Californians should be turning out by tens of thousands to greet them as they finish their momentous trip at the point whence they started. They have covered the most perilous portion of the journey. Should good fortune attend them the rest of the way, they will come through safe and successful. Prayers and ardent good wishes of Americans are with them. In truth, the whole civilized world is hoping for their success.

"No sir," replied Mrs. Brown, "I certainly shall not invite him and his wife here." "Why, my dear, why not?" he queried. "Because," she explained, "I entertained her once and she never recuperated." A teacher in a foreign quarter of the city had in her class a pupil so unruly that it became necessary to write to the boy's father. "My dear Mr. Zulebsz," the letter began. The next day a stout and frate woman appeared in the classroom flourishing a paper. "I'll teach you to call my husband 'my dear!'" she cried. "Why, he says he ain't never saw you in his life, and I believe him, you piece of impudence!" Elsa came down from the city one Sunday to look over her Uncle Eb's farm. Eb was showin' Elsa the farm critters when they come on Eb's cat and her litter of kittens. "Oh, Uncle Eb, those kittens are all different colors," says Elsa. Eb draws himself up as straight as he can, him havin' the rheumatism, and almost chokes on his chaw of tobacco. "Well, young lady," he says, "don't you try to cast no reflections. I'll say this much. Ma and me've tried to bring our cats up right."

THE DAY'S NEWS GEN. ISSAC R. SHERWOOD General Issac R. Sherwood, the oldest member of Congress, plans to retire from public life at the close of his term, which ends March 5, 1925. He will be 89 years of age on Aug. 13, having been born in 1835, at Stanford, Duchess county, New York. His public career probably has no parallel in American politics. Unlike most politicians, he has not been a one-party man in his campaigns for office. Since the war between the North and the South he has once elected to office 14 times, as the candidate of three different parties—the Republican, the Greenback and the Democratic. At present he is a Democrat. His political career started when he was 25 years old. He was then elected on the Republican ticket as a probate judge in Williams county, Ohio. The Civil war broke out soon afterward. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying PREPARED FOR OPPORTUNITY—Stockton Independent Reprinted on this page this morning is the editorial awarded the Pulitzer prize for the best editorial in an American newspaper written in 1922. While entitled, "Who Made Coolidge?" the editorial is not political. It does forcefully illustrate and impress the fact, that every man is primarily the maker of himself—the architect of his own fortune, to use the true and hence hackneyed phrase. We say primarily because to some extent recognition must be given to heredity, and environment. There is no such thing as luck, unless it be pre-natal luck! Opportunity, yes. The prize-winning editorial recites the many opportunities that opened to Calvin Coolidge. But, mind you, the opportunities opened to Calvin Coolidge. Why? Because he was prepared for them. In other words, he was part of the opportunity. Opportunities are not abstract things—something in vacuo. They are related to some man, some woman, some institution. When opportunity "knocks unbidden," it is not enough: "if sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise"; better is the motton of Abraham Lincoln in his youth, "I shall study and prepare and may be the time will come." Coolidge has studied and prepared. Of all others he was the obvious one to go up higher when the occasion presented itself. His fitness was of his own living, his own thinking, his own study, his own character. And so the prize-winning writer rightfully concludes that Calvin Coolidge made Calvin Coolidge. His political career started when he was 25 years old. He was then elected on the Republican ticket as a probate judge in Williams county, Ohio. The Civil war broke out soon afterward, and General Sherwood unlisted in the Fourteenth Infantry of Ohio. He fought in 40 battles, was under fire for 123 days, was complimented many times for conduct and was made a brigadier general by President Lincoln for "gallant and meritorious services" at the battle of Resaca, Franklin, Tenn. Four years after he was mustered out of the service he was elected secretary of state in Ohio on the Republican ticket. In 1873 he was a candidate on the Republican ticket for representative from the Sixth Ohio district. Elected, he served until 1875, when the Republican party failed to renominate him. He then moved to Toledo, where he joined the Greenback party and was elected a probate judge. When the Greenbackers lost their power he went over to the Democrats and was re-elected to his judgeship on their ticket. Sherwood suffered his first political defeat when he ran on the Democratic ticket for Congress. His attack on McKinley's war record cost him the electoin. In 1906 he ran again for Congress on the Democratic ticket in a district that was strongly Republican and he was elected by a small majority. Since then he has been a familiar figure in the House. Although opposed by the best men put up by the Republicans, Sherwood has usually come through with flying colors. Even after President Wilson had publicly rebuked him in 1916, Sherwood received a plurality of 13,000. The general intends to go back to his newspaper work. He served in 1865 as the editor of The Toledo Commercial. He was on The Cleveland Leader in 1865-66; The Toledo Journal in 1874-83; The Canton News-Democrat in 1888-98; The Canton News-Democrat in 1888-98 and represented a Toledo newspaper in the press gallery of the House in 1921.
