DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS So shall it be at last, in that bright morning When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; Oh, in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought—I am with Thee! —Harriet Beecher Stowe. TRAFFIC TRAGEDIES IN STATE ARE MANY Traffic in California becomes deadlier. Reckless driving and careless pedestrians swell the number of deaths in traffic. An appalling total of 633 persons lost life in this state in traffic in the first six months of this calendar year. This includes 97 children under the age of 17. Thirty-nine persons riding in automobiles were killed at grade crossings. Los Angeles county has more traffic tragedies than any other county in the state. Its record for the first half of 1924 was 242 traffic deaths—more than one-third of the whole number in the state! Is it not time for public sentiment to crystallize in behalf of better protection in traffic? This ghastly march of death will be maintained, so long as there is no sweeping reform of traffic regulations and traffic conditions. There should be a tightening of requirements of applicants for driver's license. There should be a raising of the standards of driving. Where traffic is congested there should be a lessening of congestion. There are phases of the great general problem of traffic safety—a problem that must be worked out, or the deadliness of traffic will increase, rather than diminish. Drivers of automobiles should be required to pass a test as to physical and mental fitness to drive. California should rid itself of the scourge of reckless driving. ITALY, UNDER MUSSOLINI REGIME, HAS MADE MOST RAPID RECOVERY" Regardless of the violence done by Mussolini's followers there is no question that he has made great strides and that Italy, under his regime, has recovered from the war more rapidly than any other European nation. This is the recently expressed opinion of Prof. Sidney Bradshaw Fay, European history professor at Smith's college, and famous as a historian. He added, however, that many of the improvements in Italy probably would have taken place without Fascism. Professor Fay said Fascism and Bolshevism were alike in many respects, as both aimed at economic reform from social evils resulting from industrialism and landlordism, both won a political revolution, putting power into the hands of an efficient minority, and both resorted, and have continued to resort, to violence. He pointed out, however, that there was a difference in their international policy, as Fascism had been intensely nationalistic, aggressive and imperialistic, and Bolshevism had been international in efforts at world-wide revolution. Mussoilini and Lenin were entirely different, he weat on. "Lenin," said the professor, "was the prophet of a religion which he inherited, but did not create. He was only a priest, and his disappearance has not seriously weakened his cult. Mussoilini is the creator of his system, and with its creator the success of his system is bound up. Bolshevism is the dictatorship of a party which holds a kind of political religion. Fascism is the dictatorship of a man who would like to make belief in himself into a religion. He pointed out that one of the main factors of Fascist strength in Italy was that it had forced all There should be a tightening of requirements of applicants for driver's license.

DOLLAR OF FARMER MORE VALUABLE NOW The American farmer is in better financial condition today than he has been since 1913. That is, measured by the purchasing power of his dollar. The exchange value of the former's products, as compared with prices for non-agricultural products, is almost at par. The farmer's products have risen in price, while other commodities have fallen. This puts the farmer in much better relative position, financially. His dollar goes farther than it did formerly. And he has more of these more valuable dollars than he formerly had. This obviously betters the plight of the farmer. It removes the handicap that he has had, in getting low prices for his crops and in paying high prices for non-agricultural commodities which he must buy. The province of a newspaper is not to flood homes and offices with streams of filthy details of crime and vice. Journalistic sensationalism is baneful. It is indefensible. Newspapers of the best type are arrayed against it uncompromisingly. Flaws in government are chargeable, in large measure, to the indifference and inactivity of the good citizen in primaries and in general elections. "DRESS WELL AND SUCCEED" We Recommend— Dutchess Trousers WHOS WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS PRINCESS MARY The recent arrival of the stork at the home of Princess Mary of England was of world-wide interest. The princess' marriage to Viscount Lascelles over two years ago was the occasion of great celebration throughout the empire. They were married Feb. 28, 1922, at Westminster Abbey, London. On Feb. 7, 1923, their first child was born and was named George Henry Hubert in honor of his royal grandfather and the Earl of Harwood, also his grand-daddy. The second child was born a few days ago and has been named Ulick. Princess Mary on her marriage retained her royal rank as a daughter of the sovereign. Her children are heirs to the throne, but distant ones. They have no royal titles. Their father's title is only an honorary one. George Henry may some day become Earl of Hastings.

COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying AMERICAN MANNERS ABROAD—San Bernardino Sun ... Death of the American consul at the hands of a Persian mob in Teheran because he insisted upon taking a picture of a religious ceremony after having been warned against it, calls attention to the general habit of Americans abroad in ignoring the customs and prejudices of the people in the lands they visit. This consul, being an official and having had opportunity in his official capacity to learn of the strength of religious feeling in the Orient was, as a representative of the United States, under even more obligation than the unofficial American to be careful not to give offense to the people of the country in which he was stationed. But he showed the characteristic disregard of everything "furrin" which marks the American both at home and abroad. It is said of the British traveller, that, while he is never willing to admit anything he sees while on his travels is as "good as weave at 'ome' he is careful not to give offense and to observe the customs of the country in which he is travelling. In fact all educated Europeans do. Perhaps it is because of so many nations in so small a space constantly coming into contact with each other, must of necessity learn the lesson of tolerance and mutual consideration, which we in this country do not easily acquire. In this respect we are extremely provincial. Many Americans when they go abroad insist upon having everything just as they have been accustomed to have it at home, and complain and criticise when they are not able to do so. General Foch set us a spendid example while on his visit to this country. When offered a glass of wine, he declined, saying that he always made it a point to conform to the laws of the country he visited, which was a splendid rebuke to the American lawbreaker. But it is carelessness and lack of respect for the religious faith, feeling and ceremonies of the strange peoples they go among which is the worst trait of the average American traveller. The conduct of tourists to Alaska while visiting the Greek services of the natives has at times been scandalous. They seem to think they are attending a show of some kind and not a house of worship. Whether or not one believes in the religion of any person or people, he should show it respect, particularly the formal ceremonies and the places of worship. It is not necessarily something new or absurd or amusing merely because it is strange to the beholder. Usually it is the spectator who is new and strange and he should realize it. We are a kindly and intelligent people, but in a measure provincial, and we need to learn much of courtesy and comity in our contact with the people of other races, languages and religions, especially when we are away from home.
