Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS It is a tedious thing to be always beginning to live They live badly who always begin to live.—Seneca. LIBERTY DOES NOT MEAN LICENSE Those who berate the American democratic system of government for its "lack of liberty" confuse liberty with license. There can be no such thing as absolute liberty, either in this or in any other government—and far less in the "Red" government of Soviet Russia than elsewhere. Somewhere, in all governments where the people have a voice in national affairs, there must be a difference of opinion, and a minority must bow to a majority. It is quite natural for the minority to howl and say it has no liberty—but if it were in the majority and the other side were in the minority, the shoe would be on the other foot and the howl would come from the other side of the alley. Such is democracy, a great massing together of many minds into a group mind, for the greatest good of the most people. Before condemning such an arrangement, one should ask himself: "Can I think of a fairer way to regulate things than by vote?" A good sport loses gamely. The heaviest popular vote, by far, in the history of American politics, will be polled in November. It doubtless will be the heaviest popular vote ever recorded in any nation, at any time. Enfranchising of women has increased the total vote vastly. ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AIDED BY WOMEN Seattle, within the last few days, gave the spectacle of a woman, an acting mayor, stirring up the police department for its failure to enforce law—especially law against bootlegging, gambling and vice. With a woman's keen appreciation of values and appraisal of the fitness of things, this good woman could not understand why the head of the police department, who she was convinced was defaulting in the performance of his sworn duty, should not be removed from office and somebody more efficient placed in the position in his stead. The logic is sound. Women understand it. Some men do. But there are too many men who have become hardened to lax enforcement of laws—who are not in the least abashed or perturbed to learn that a police department is hand in glove with those who are selling liquor illegally, and permitting gambling and vice to have full sway.

Women may be of great help to the country in insisting upon enforcement of laws; in using votes and influence in politics to bring about law enforcement; and in quickening the public conscience in these things. To women, too, the country must look, in the main, for moral training of children. For if the oncoming generation is to be kept temperate and kept clean, the boys and girls of today must be taught morals, in impressive fashion, from nursery days up. Reduce taxation! should be the insistent demand of the people all up and down the land. Give the child moral training to fortify it against the criminal and vicious influences abroad in the land. There is patriotism of peace, as well as patriotism of war. There is far more need of the former than of the latter. Pity the poor delegates who have been sweltering for days in a stuffy convention hall in New York. That takes all the romance out of politics, for the time being. The slogan of the New York convention might have been, so far as the contending forces were concerned: "We propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer."

Four hundred and ninety-nine swallowed the insult, but one large, giant-built warrior moved uneasily and, stepping from the line, he said: "You can't lick me, Mike Hennessey." "Oh, I can't, can't I?" yelled Hennessey. "No, you can't," was the determined answer. "Well, thin, go to the office an get your money," said Hennessey.

Folks who think of naught but eating Ought to know that time is fleeting—That over-eating is a fault: Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying PHILIPPINES CAMPAIGN ENDS—AN EXAMPLE OF HAZARDS IN OIL (Standard Oil Bulletin) After an effort covering a period of five years the Standard Oil Company (California) is abandoning its prospecting operations on Bondoc Peninsular, Island of Luzon, of the Philippine group, which have been conducted by the Richmond Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company. So ends a great venture to find a new supply of oil for the future. The holes drilled at Bondoc proved to be "dusters." The area prospected, which seemed promising from surface indications, does not bear oil beyond trace, and the wildcatters are striking camp and coming home. The Philippines expedition furnishes a striking example of the hazards of the oil industry. The search for hidden deposits of petroleum is uncertain—the industry seeks and sometimes finds, and sometimes doesn't. In either case the expense is great, requiring resources of vast size. The expenditures in the Philippines will run to approximately a million and a quarter dollars. There is compensation however; for where many wildcat ventures may fall one may succeed with profitable results. Such is the history of oil. The Bondoc adventure proves, too, that there is something more to the oil industry than merely the manufacture and rate of petroleum products. Back of the gasoline pump, which is the public's principle point of contact with this vital industry, there is a stupendous activity of which the public is little aware—an activity which leads to the ends of the earth in a quest for new oil. The public hears much of successes, of wells gushing quantities of "black gold". Of the failures, of the great financial risks, of the great losses which often must be borne, it knows very little. The world moves on oil, and it is the obligation of those engaged in the industry never to permit the supply to fail. Hence the unceasing search, which nowadays goes far afield. This company today has drilling parties in Alaska, Colombia, Ecuador and Argentina, as well as in several states at home, while its geologists are scouring the earth for likely-looking territory. Having heard reports of favorable surface conditions on the Bondoc Peninsula, the Company initiated its own geological survey in 1919. In the spring of 1920 it was recommended that the Company should drill, and lands were then acquired. In 1920 there was a shoaling of oil on the Pacific coast. California fields did not produce enough to meet the rapidly growing demand. Later, new fields were discovered here, which finally brought a condition of over-production. But in 1920 a great task confronted this Company—that of keeping up an unfailing supply of petroleum to meet the requirements of the future. Hence, it was decided to wildcat at Bondoc. The field of operations was in a wild, scarcely inhabited hail- Arrange them as you may, you cannot substitute indoor games for outdoor recreation.

Folks who think of naught but eating Ought to know that time is fleeting— That over-eating is a fault; Even though they're feeling alfity, If their weight's around two-fifty, That's the time to call a halt.

LOST LOVE Who wins his Love shall lose her, Who loses her shall gain. For still the spirit wooes her, And soul without a stain! And memory still pursues her With longings not in vain! He loses her who gains her, Who watches day by day The dust of time that stains her, The griefs that leave her gray. The flesh that yet enchains her Whose grace hath passed away! Oh, happler he who gains not The Love some seem to gain: The joy that custom stains not Shall still with him remain The loveliness that wanes not, The Love that never can wane. In dreams she grows not older The lands of Dream among Though all the world wax bolder, Though all the songs be sung. In dreams doth he behold her Still fair and kind and young. Andrew Lang A. D.
