Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Daily ought we to renew our purposes, and to stir up ourselves to greater fervor, and to say, "Help me, my God, in this my good purpose, and in Thy holy service, grant that I may now this day begin perfectly; for that which I have hitherto done is as nothing." —Thomas a'Kempis. WAR WOUNDS HEALING SLOWLY BUT SURELY Wounds of the World War are healing. The process necessarily is slow. This is to be expected. The fangs of the dogs of war sank too deeply into the body of the continent of Europe for the hurt to heal over night. But the processes of healing are at work. The animosities that made whole nations seethe with bitterness and hatred, are passing away. God grant that they never may return! The one war issue which has caused more contention than any other, or all the others combined—reparations—is in fair way to be settled to the reasonable satisfaction of the countries immediately concerned. With the Dawes plan in full force and effect in Europe, there should be reaction favorable to peace, a generous measure of good will and the restoration of economic normality overseas. The outlook is very encouraging. The great war, under the impetus of modern swift methods, fast is losing its prominence in the minds of the peoples of civilized lands. A new growth of life and aspiration and constructive activities is coming over the gnarled trunk of the tree of war. A fairer growth is at hand—a growth and a development that augur peace, even though there may be international discords at intervals. The country is resounding with campaign keynotes. But the vacationist is hearing very little politics. This will receive attention after the vacation is ended. STOP THREATENED WAR IN BALKANS The country is resounding with campaign keynotes. But the vacationist is hearing very little politics. This will receive attention after the vacation is ended. STOP THREATENED WAR IN BALKANS The grim specter of war again is seen in Southeastern Europe. Greece and Jugo-Slavia are threatening reprisal upon Bulgaria because of raids by Bulgarians upon the territory of the two complaining countries. Troops are being held in readiness and, unless some strong restraining hand is stretched forth, another war may be raging soon in war-worn Europe. Here is a piece of good work for the great powers to do. Let them interpose unselfishly in the interests of peace. Let them say to Bulgaria: "Behave yourself!" and see that the mandate is obeyed. Let them restrain Greece and Jugo-Slavia from making reprisals, and make Bulgaria give apologies and reparations for any violation of territory of these two countries. Let the great powers, in a word, be mentors and peacemakers in Southeastern Europe as the United States is with the small states of Latin America. This would be a beneficial service to Europe and to the world. It would create a most wholesome impression, too, if the great powers would act unselfishly in concert to prevent wars among petty states of Europe. It is the energy, daring, intelligence and resourcefulness of the American people that makes them renowned throughout the world for superior achievements.

ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES The police physician was called to examine an unconscious prisoner, who had been arrested and brought to the station-house for drunkenness. After a short examination, the physician addressed the policeman who had made the arrest. "This fellow is not suffering from the effects of alcohol. He has been drugged." The policeman was greatly disturbed, and spoke falteringly: "I'm thinkin', ye're right, sor. I drugged him all the way to the station." The Kentucky mountaineer was frudging along in the big road with his head bowed, when a motor car came tearing around the bend behind him, knocked him down and rolled him around so that when he began to scramble to his feet he was facing in the opposite direction from what he had been before. At that moment another came ripping around a corner from the other way. "Look out there!" yelled the driver. "Goodgodlemighty!" howled the highlander, supposing it was the same car. "Are you going to come back and run over me again?" POEMS THAT LIV ONCE ON A TIME Once on a time I used to dream Strange spirits moved about my way. And I might catch a vagrant gleam.

Dawes made at Evanston recently one of the most honest to goodness speeches that the country has heard from a public man in a generation, when he denounced "the curse of demagoguery in political discussions", and pledged himself to make a merciless fight against it without quarter and without political favor. Mr. Dawes is absolutely right in declaring demagogism a "curse" and in attributing to a demagogue "orgy" most of the evils from which this and European countries have been suffering for the last five or six years. So far as we are concerned, it is unquestionably at the root of mist of the political and government troubles with which we are now afflicted. But for its supremacy in both parties in regard to every public question, from prohibition to taxation, from the League of Nations to the Pork Barrel, nearly every problem before us could have been settled long ago on a basis of sound economics and constitutional principle. But we have been "cursed" by an "orgy" of demagoguism that has subordinated the public peace and welfare to personal and political advantage. In every age and every country where popular government has prevailed the demagogue has been the fatal toe of democracy. He bores from within and polls liberty in the name of freedom. What this country needs now more than anything else is intellectually honest public men. If "D" in Dawes turns out to be "Down With Demagogues, and Demagogism," the country will owe him a debt of gratitude. ACCORDING TO NAPOLEON Epigrammic estimates of character shine out in the memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte. They are the estimates of one who believed that men like himself were either gods or devils. "Great men are like meteors which shine and consume themselves to enlighten the world," he wrote. Napoleon spoke proudly when he said: "From my first career, I have always commanded myself." Therefore it is not surprising to find him declaring "There are men who have sufficient strength of mind to change their character or to bend to imperative circumstances." These observations on character made by Napoleon illuminate his own character. Man's true character ever displays itself in great events. Great men are those who can control both good luck and good fortune. The greater the man, the less is he opinionative; he depends upon events and circumstances. Many a one commits a reprehensible action who is perfectly honorable, because a man seldom acts upon natural impulse but upon some secret passion of the moment which lies hidden and con- If we'd dig deeper ditches and drain stagnant pools, we'd have less fever in our countryside schools. When one poor swimmer attempts to rescue another there is in a double funeral. Making headache tablets foraches caused by eye strain, the proper treatment for eye pain. It's not quite clear just why we would worry about treating cold fever when there is no reason for having it. Lie's grades were mighty poor, Lie's ma was sad; teacher wrote: "Dear Mrs. Smith, Mr Willie's teeth are bad." When we find a man with a severity degree, carrying a key to keep off rheumatism, wonder why we have universal degrees. Health is the most important thing in life, why wouldn't it be a idea to teach a little some-thing about health in the public schools? There's this about artificialplexions; you can't believe all see nor see all you believe. The fellow who doesn't know to do is usually the follower he does something he ought to do.

Therefore it is not surprising to find him declaring "There are men who have sufficient strength of mind to change their character or to bend to imperative circumstances." These observations on character made by Napoleon illuminate his own character. Man's true character ever displays itself in great events. Great men are those who can control both good luck and good fortune. The greater the man, the less is he opinionative; he depends upon events and circumstances. Many a one commits a reprehensible action who is perfectly honorable, because a man seldom acts upon natural impulse but upon some secret passion of the moment which lies hidden and concealed within the narrowest folds of his heart. Great ambition is the passion of a great character. He who is endowed with it may perform very great or very bad things; all depends on the principles which direct him. To have the right estimate of a man's character, we must see him in adversity. Real industry is not the employment of known and given means. Art and genius consist in achieving in spite of difficulties and in finding little or nothing impossible. Man is very hard to understand, and, not to deceive ourselves, we must judge him only by his actions of the moment. Many characters have been modified by age, habits of business, and experience.
