Samuel Wilberforce. SIMPLE HOME VIRTUES PRECIOUS ASSETS It was an inspiring spectacle, over there in that quaint New England village last Sunday, when the President of the United States, feeling thoroughly at home in that place and in that atmosphere, showed his keen delight in being in the simple farm home with his good, old-fashioned father, and in attending the old country church and hearing a homely sermon praising simplicity and extolling the commonplace things of life. That indeed was a fitting setting for Calvin Coolidge, the unspoiled, who remembers the simplicities to practice them even in the places of power. One of the finest aspects of the life of the Coolidge family is the simple living, the dignifying of the commonplace things, the harmony in the family life. Here is inspiration for all the people. This Republic rests upon no surer foundation-stone than rock-ribbed virtue in the home, simple, temperate living and with harmony and good will enthroned. These things should be fostered throughout the land. Here in this goodly community of Anaheim, with its high standards of life, the simplicities and virtues of pure home-life should be stressed at all times. The newspaper press, as well as other influences, has a great opportunity and a solemn responsibility in this—in keeping itself celan and thereby promoting clean thinking and cleanly living in the community, as well as standing for harmony in home and community life. Common sense should reign in governmental affairs at Washington. MOST LAWLESS NATION, AMERICA These things should be fostered throughout the made-inthis goodly community of Anaheim, with its high standards of life, the simplicities and virtues of pure home-life should be stressed at all times. The newspaper press, as well as other influences, has a great opportunity and a solemn responsibility in this—in keeping itself celan and thereby promoting clean thinking and cleanly living in the community, as well as standing for harmony in home and community life. Common sense should reign in governmental affairs at Washington. MOST LAWLESS NATION, AMERICA CALLED The United States is "under indictment which proclaims it to be the most lawless nation on earth." These are the words of Judge Talley of New York. "The United States must plead guilty to that indictment," says Judge Talley; "most of the desperate criminals are mere boys; the vast majority of defendants are under nineteen or twenty years of age." This comes from one of the judges of the greatest criminal court in the world—that of New York City, the crime center of the country. Surely such an indictment should startle the people into serious thinking. The youth of the land running wild, without moral anchor, is the picture that the jurist paints. And all who observe are forced to admit that there is ground for the accusation that the United States is the most lawless of all countries on the face of the earth, and that the majority of criminals are young men. There is startling lack of moral steadfastness in too many of the young men and young women of the country. Is home life and its wholesome influence breaking down? Is moral training lacking in homes and schools? There must be some fatal weakness in the training of youths. There is far too large a percentage falling into crime and vice. This is a problem far ahead of any other in importance in this country. Every steaming cup is an insistent invitation PARAGRAPH By ROBERT QUILLEY Feminine philosophy: house; more dust.

Newport Beach, Calif., Aug. 12, (Political Advertisement.) ROBERT P. SKINNER The appointment of Robert P. Skinner, formerly American consul general at London to succeed Alexander M. Thackara, who resided as consul general at Paris on July 1 of this year, again brings attention to an Ohio man-Skinner who was born in Massillon, Ohio, February 24, 1866, entered the consular service in 1897. Previous to this he was owner and editor of the Evening Independent, Massillon, Ohio. From 1897 to 1901 Skinner was consul at Marseilles, France, and consul general from 1901 to 1908. He was then transferred to Hamburg, where he served, as consul general from 1908 to 1914. From January till July 1914 he was stationed at Berlin, from where he went to London where he has served for the past ten years, during the trying days of the World War and reconstruction period. In addition to his other duties Skinner served as commissioner to establish relations and negotiate a treaty between U. S. and Ethiopia in 1903, and on special detail for the purpose of adjusting the claims of the creditors of the republic of Liberia in Great Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands in 1912. He is the author of the book *Abyssinia of Today.* HILLY VIEWS EVANS' MURDER WORK OF FOREIGN INTERESTS," SAYS MEXICAN PRESIDENT-ELECT "The murder of Mrs. Rosalie R. Evans in my country recently was not a common crime, but the work of malicious interests foreign to the Mexican government." So declared President-elect Julietco Callas of Mexico. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying THE RICHARDSON BUDGET—San Jose Mercury-Herald. Unless the people have lost their traditional love of fair play, they must resent the criticisms that have been directed toward Governor Richardson in his effort to prevent the money of the state from being wasted, when they know the facts. The first full year under the Richardson budget has now been completed. The Board of Control and Controller Ray L. Riley have made up the figures showing the status of the funds of all the state institutions as of June 30, 1924, and some astonishing results are disclosed. The governor has been charged with not giving our State Teachers' colleges enough money to keep them functioning properly. These figures show that at the expiration of the first year the funds appropriated for all the State Teachers' colleges had not been used, but there remained a balance unexpended of $64,045.14. There was a balance unexpended in the funds appropriated for the San Jose State Teachers' college of $20,107.28. We have heard sobs from the lips of the tender hearted over the fact that the Industrial Accident Commission had not been given money enough to enable it to do its work properly, and we were told that industrial accidents were increasing at an alarming rate in consequence. The fact is that of the money appropriated for this commission under the Richardson budget, $27,247.29 remained unexpended at the end of the first year. We have been warned that the Railroad Commission could not do its work for lack of funds. That commission had $17-323.83 unexpended in the funds at the end of the year. The head of the school department has been loudest of all in his wall for lack of funds, but the figures show that of the appropriations made for the use of the Superintendent of Public Institution, $17,103.04 remained unexpended at the end of the year. The State Board of Health shows a balance unexpended of $96,033.74. The state hospitals had $405,408.79 unexpended. The unexpended balance of the appropriations for all the state institutions amounts to $1,042,505.92. When these facts are known, and all these figures are taken from the controller's records, what can we think of those who malign Governor Richardson because they claim he is destroying our humanitarian institutions by his niggardly policy? The figures now available show how baseless these charges are, and leave in mind a grave doubt as to the sincerity of those who make the charges. Napoleon painted a word-portrait of one man: "Murder was a most singular character. He loved—I may NEVANS MURDER WORK OF FOREIGN INTERESTS," SAYS MEXICAN PRESIDENT-ELECT "The murder of Mrs. Rosalie R. Evans in my country recently was not a common crime, but the work of malicious interests foreign to the Mexican government." So declared President-elect Glutarco Ellias Calles of Mexico, an interview in New York while waiting to sail for Europe recently. General Calles waived aside a suggestion that the crime might be the result of unassimilated garrison and socialistic doctrines which had proven too rich mental good for the peons and that they had gotten out of hand as a result. "Not at all," said he. "I may consider myself the chief of the Socialist party in Mexico, but Mexican socialism is a conscious and sane socialism and not the restructive thing which the rejectionary elements try to make out. Socialist ideas in Mexico are constructive and moral. At the same time, the leaders are showing the people what their rights are and are also showing them what their duties are. The main effort of the Socialists has been to try to liberate the poorer classes. The chief benefits Mexico can look for will come from the uplifting of the submerged classes." "In what respect are the Mexican Indians oppressed?" General Calles was asked. "For one thing, the large estate holders estimate the value of their properties not on acreage, but by the number of peons on their acres. They work from 12 to 14 hours a day for 10 cents in gold. It is not humanly possible for them to live and bring up children or have any moral expression. If this is not serfdom, I would like God to come down and define it." "We have in Mexico 20,000,000 farm workers out of a total population of 50,000,000. Therefore the agricultural workers are necessarily the backbone of the country. It is the government's duty to see that they have the necessary elements for moral and physical development, so that by raising their standards we may bring about decent conditions." Discusses Land Issue When asked if the new government had it in mind to leave the settlement of foreign land titles to diplomacy, he said: "To understand land holding in Mexico would take hours. The problem of landed property goes back to the conquest. Indian possession of lands was granted by the Spanish crown centuries ago. Lands are essential to their librarianship." Napoleon painted a word-portrait of one man: "Murat was a most singular character. He loved—I may rather say adored—me. In my presence he was, as it were, struck with awe, and ready to fall at my feet. . . Order Murat to attack four or five thousand men in such a direction, it was done in a moment; but leave him himself, he was an imbecile without judgment. I cannot conceive how so brave a man could be so lache. He was nowhere brave unless before the enemy. There he probably was the bravest man in the world. His boiling courage carried him into the midst of the enemy. He was a paladine—in fact a Don Quixote—in the field; but take him into the Cabinet, he was a poltroon, without judgment or decision. Murat, though he loved me, did me more mischief than any other person in the world." Brilliant Hair Glowing with Beauty Brillox immediately transforms dull, dry hair into an ensemble of beauty. Just a few drops gives radiant lustre and overcomes dryness. Brillox can be applied after shampooing or when combing. For giving lustre to waves or curls, nothing compares with Brillox. A few drops patted on lightly after the hair has been waved gives radiance and retains the contour of the waves indefinitely. Get a bottle—at the nearest drug store or toilet counter—50 cents. Max Factor Co., Los Angeles Discusses Land Issue When asked if the new government had it in mind to leave the settlement of foreign land titles to diplomacy, he said: "To understand land holding in Mexico would take hours. The problem of landed property goes back to the conquest. Indian possession of lands was granted by the Spanish crown centuries ago. Lands are essential to their liberty. The government will see to it that these lands are restored to them through legal proceedings." When asked if Mexican or international law would prevail where the land title of foreigners were concerned, General Calles said: "Our government is the same as yours. It has executive legislative and judicial branches, and the lawmakers will decide. The rights of American and British oil property holders will be fully protected." VOTE FOR William B.
