SAMUEL WILBERFORCE BALLOT IS TO BE LONG IN NOVEMBER The ballot, in November, in California, will carry four initiative measures and fourteen proposed Constitutional amendments. These, with all the names of candidates, will tax the intelligence of the voter. There should be no such circumstance as this. Getting intelligent voting is hard enough, at best. But when the ballot itself is so cluttered up with long lists of candidates and long lists of proposed constitutional amendments and initiative and referendum proposals, that the voter becomes confused, and is hurried in marking his ballot, there is little chance to get the full measure of intelligence and discrimination in voting that is desirable. There should be some practicable way to keep down the number of measures to be put on the ballot, especially in a Presidential year. The voter should be given a fair chance to decide upon the merits of every candidacy and every measure upon which he votes. This he cannot do if the ballot be too long, even though he may give study to the ballot before going to the polls. Property valuations in California are increasing hugely. This is intrinsic. Property is valued more highly because it is more valuable. AMBASSADOR PRAISED BY PRESIDENT High praise is given Charles B.

Warren, retiring Ambassador to Mexico, by President Coolidge, in accepting Mr. Warren's resignation. "Your mission to Mexico," writes the President, "has been attended with the most gratifying success; you have solved many of the perplexing questions and especially have provided for the protection of American life and American property and the settlement of disputed claims." This serves to direct attention to the able, useful work that American ambassadors and ministers do in foreign lands. The diplomatic service of the Nation is extremely important. A great deal is accomplished which does not appear on the surface. For delicate diplomatic missions are not performed in the limelight. Full recognition and merited honors should be given the able and faithful men who represent the United States so acceptably at foreign courts. Dishonesty usually brings its own downfall. There is too much criminal carelessness in traffic, in handling fire, and in other ways. The game of politics should be played fairly. There is no warrant for unfairness. Friendship is a mockery and unworthy of the name, if it be not sincere and candid.

The care we take in laundering men's summer shirts of every description, accounts for the large business we do in this line.

The teacher was about to give her class a lesson on some of the most famous myths and legends of the past. Before beginning, however, she thought she would ask the scholars a question or two to see what ideas they had, if any, about the subject. "Now, can anyone tell me what a myth is?" she asked. A solitary hand was raised and a voice exclaimed: "Please, miss, it's a female moth." Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium.

We eat too much of sweets and such when weight's around two hundred. Masking a bad odor with one less objectionable is only "kidding" one's nostrils.

Phone 123 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1924 WHOS WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS JULIUS KRUTTSCHNITT The other day Julius Kruttschnit, chairman of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific railroad system, spent his seventieth birthday in the work to which he has given the greater portion of his life—the construction of the Southern Pacific. The day on which, according to the unwritten law of the railroad industry, an active worker may gracefully retire saw the head of the Southern Pacific in charge of a larger system than ever before in its history. Kruttschnit spent the day on an inspection trip over the lines of the company. It was one of the regular trips he makes at frequent intervals to keep himself informed on every development on the property. Kruttschnit has spent his entire railroad career in the service of the Southern Pacific, or the systems that are now included in its lines. He is a native of New Orleans, graduate of Washington and Lee University, and for five years taught school in McDonough School, at Baltimore, Md. It was not until 1878, when he was 24 years of age, that he entered the employ of the Louisiana & Texas Railroad Co., became an engineer in charge of construction. On the completion of that line, which was eventually to become a part of the Southern Pacific, he became roadmaster, and then advanced until he became chairman of the board and executive committee of the Southern Pacific in January, 1913, when the Union Pacific gave up control of that system. Since Mr. Kruttschnit took charge of the Southern Pacific property its record has been one of continued progress. In 1912 the railroad handled a gross business of $131,526,171 had 10,058 miles of track. At the close of 1923 the company reported an annual business of $287,-204,635 and a total mileage of COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying DIVINITY OF NATURE APPEALS—Fresno Republican There is something appealingly plain, simple and homely in the spirit of President Coolidge's address to a farewell meeting of Boy Scouts, who were to sail to attend an international gathering in Copenhagen, as to commend it to the thoughtful consideration of even older people. The President laid down as fundamentals reverence for nature, for law and for God. Fundamentals are they not only for Scouts, but for their elders as well. It is good for all of us to share with those addressed the wholesomeness of the advice never to lose our love in fields and streams, mountains and plains, the open places and the forests, and how well we older folk realize that "that love will be a priceless possession as your years lengthen out." One day when boys grow to maturay they will appreciate the reference Ms. Coolidge makes to "new life in the soil for every man." And "there is healing in the trees for tired minds, and for our overburdened spirits there is strength in the hills, if only we will lift up our eyes." How true that is, and how it comes home to us! No one can go into the great out-of-doors without feeling the divinity of soil and rock. nature, and without being inspired by its cleanliness; nor can any of us escape merely through association with flowers and birds and The Divinity of Nature! It is wholesome for us to contemplate it, to rest with it, abide by it and impose our reverence in it. "A man avails himself of the truth so long as it is serviceable; but he seizes on what is false with a passionate eloquence as soon as he can mawe a momentary use of it; whether it be to dazzle others with it as a kind of half-truth, or to employ it as a stop gap for affecting an apparent union between things that have been disjoined." Nothing was more odious than the majority, to Goethe. To him it consisted of a few powerful men to lead the way; of accommodating rascals and submissive weaklings; and of a mass of men who trot after them; without in the least knowing their own mind. "A man cannot well stand by himself, and he is glad to join a party; because if he does not find rest there, he at any rate must quiet and safety." PACIFIC, he became roadmaster, and then advanced until he became chairman of the board and executive committee of the Southern Pacific in January, 1913, when the Union Pacific gave up control of that system. Since Mr. Kruttschnitt took charge of the Southern Pacific property its record has been one of continued progress. In 1912 the railroad handled a gross business of $131,525,171 had 10,058 miles of track. At the close of 1923 the company reported an annual business of $287,204,635 and a total mileage of 11,244. Under the guidance of Kruttschnitt, the 12 months just closed have been among the most active in the history of the railroad company. DINNER STORIES A resident of the Tennessee hills had shot his mother-in-law after, possibly, getting slightly miffed at her, and was a little later dragged out of bed in the middle of the night and hustled off into the tall timber by the Ku Klux Klan. In the morning, as she was sauntering homeward with an annoyed look on his face, an acquaintance called out to him: "Well, see ye got away from the Ku Kluxers all right, Mort!" "Yep!" was the reply. "But, confound their stingy souls, they kept me telling it over and over, and mighty nigh laughed their fool heads off every time, and then all they glamme was $10 and a no-count watch." The small boy of the household was not notably proficient in sacred lore, but when his sister asked him, "Where was Solomon's Temple?" he indignantly resented the supposed impeachment of his stock of information, and replied: "Don't you think I know anything?" She assured him that she did not doubt that he knew, but urged him to state for her benefit. Though not crediting her sincerity, he finally exclaimed, curtly: "On the side of his head, of course, where other folks are! D'you s'pose I'm a fool?" When France recently helped Anatole, France celebrate his eightieth birthday, he was deluged with congratulations by mail, telegraph and word of mouth.
