EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Man's unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his greatness; it is because there is an infinite in him, which, with all his cunning, he cannot quite bury under the finite.—Thomas Carlyle. PLEAS TO GRADUATES AS MORAL FORCE In biccalaureate sermons and in commencement addresses men of thought and of learning are impressing upon graduates and student bodies the vital importance of conserving the moral forces of the Nation, and making them count for betterment of human relations. There are earnest pleas for international morality—for moral scruples in relations among the nations of the world. This is essential to the preservation of peace. So long as nations are fair and just toward each other, so long will there be little or no menace of war. Morals among nations, and applying the Golden Rule in international affairs, would be the best possible guarantees of peace. Conservation of morality in the homes is another moralizing work that is vital. If home life were to break down in this country; if its moral quality were to become unsound, then indeed would descend upon this country its greatest disaster. The moral fiber of the homes of the country must be preserved, or the country will sink to decay and oblivion as other countries have before it. These are things upon which the young of the land should ponder. The future lies in their hands. The future will be no better and no worse, in morals, than the young men and the young women we today make it. The Cleveland convention was not without excitement, even though the Presidential nomination was a foregone conclusion. USEFULNESS IS GOAL IN EDUCATION At this season of commencements and ending of school These are things upon which the young of the land should ponder. The future lies in their hands. The future will be no better and no worse, in morals, than the young men and the young women we today make it. The Cleveland convention was not without excitement, even though the Presidential nomination was a foregone conclusion. USEFULNESS IS GOAL IN EDUCATION At this season of commencements and ending of school sessions for the summer vacation, it is well for the graduates, for teachers and for the public to ponder searchingly the scope and purpose of education. Education, in and of itself, is one of the chief ornaments of existence in these advanced times. Sorry indeed is the plight of a person who, benighted, spends existence under the clouds of ignorance, unaware of the wonderful and glorious forces work in the world, to draw mankind up to higher levels of education. But education, in this land, imposes moral obligation. And this phase of education is not stressed greatly as it should be. Unless education have moral ballast, it is a dubious force in the community. There are highly educated men in the prisons of the land, convicted of high crime and misdemeanors. There are educated men in dens of vice this country. Education, if not properly used or if outright abused, is a bane, not a blessing. Moral quality should be put into educational training. Education should be seasoned with purpose to apply the training which is received. Utility applied in useful activities, education is misplaced. A thoughtful, dignified, respectful political campaign would do credit to the country. There should be no indifference in bitter, abusive personalities. Notice!

W. Crone of South Citron st., this elitr. Mr. Mendosa states that the Reliable Tire Co. first opened its doors in Anaheim on February 17, 1922 and Mr. Crone on the second day of business bought the tire above mentioned along with a full set of four. These tires, according to Mr. Crone have travelled close to 30,000 miles and three of them are still going. This particular tire is not blown out, the census still being intact and with plenty of rubber with the exception of one spot which was accidentally cut and torn off. Mr. Crone's car is a large seven passenger Studebaker, which, according to its great weight should really be shod with 4½ or 5-inch tires instead of 4-inch, and the mileage that is being given by the Para Bell tires is something to be marvelled at. Mr. Mendosa has now handled the Para Bell in Anaheim close to two and one half years, exclusively, and says he will continue to handle nothing by Para Bell no long as their wonderful quality is maintained, and which will be ultimately according to the Para Bell factory at Mansfield, Ohio. DINNER STORIES Not so long ago the wife of a wealthy merchant in a western town decided that it was high time the family assumed the high social status. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying CRIMINAL LAWYER'S BELIEFS—Sacramento Bee An interesting sidelight on the now nationally known Chicago murder case is furnished by a series of articles in the Mid-West Review by Clarence Darrow, attorney for the defense of the boy murderers. In these articles Darrow attempts to maintain the thesis that man is simply an animal and that "human progress" is an illusion foisted upon us by our egotism. He does not believe man has a soul, because no scientist has ever been able to find that soul. He does not believe in the existence of a Supreme Being of any sort, because he can explain the universe to his own satisfaction without one. He does not believe in immortality, because he sees no necessity for prolonging what he considers a rather shabby business past its natural earthly termination. These are his opinions, and he has a perfect right to hold them. Moreover, the fact that he holds them does not necessarily mean that righteousness is being opposed by the devil in Chicago. It may be that some of the prosecution attorneys have similar ideas. But it will be extremely interesting to see what kind of plea Darrow will make for his young clients when they come to trial. It seems to an impartial observer that holding such opinions should logically render it impossible for him to use any of the customary pleas. He cannot consistently and honestly invoke the sacredness of human life to cheat the death penalty, for to him life is not sacred. He cannot plead for the sons on the ground of their parents' love for them, for love is something that cannot be scientifically demonstrated as existing, and therefore does not exist. He can hardly plead insanity, because these youths have shown no lack of intelligence, but merely of moral sense, and morals, again, are something which do not exist. What sort of a plea will be made? The chances are about 99 to 1 that he will make the very pleas which it has been shown above he cannot constisliently present; yet make them with all the cloquence and apparent sincerity that a criminal lawyer of his experience can command. But which will he believe; the moral concept and ideals he invokes to save his clients, or the completely unmoral concepts which are the result of his impersonal thinking? Perhaps he will believe neither. The human mind is a strange thing! It can swallow even greater contrasts than this to attain...
