CONGRESSIONAL RECORD AS LITERATURE There has actually been discovered a man who reads the Congressional Record. Henry Fountain Ashurst when a boy of ten wrote after his name in his school geography, "United States Senator from Arizona," and twenty-six years later that title was his. And now Senator Ashurst makes the astounding confession that he began at the age of ten to read the Congressional Record, and that for the past twenty-four years he has religiously devoted an hour o day to that great but hitherto unappreciated work. He finds in it, he says, more history, more philosophy and more rhetoric, than in any other publication in the world. (We have no doubt about the rhetoric.) "If limited to only one thing to read," he advises, "by all means let it be the Congressional Record." His literary tastes, if nothing else, distinguish Senator Ashurst and make him unique. He has done what no one else ever thought of doing. But, all jokes aside, we may hear from this Senator again. At twenty-one he was in the Arizona legislature and in his second term was speaker of the House. He has been cowboy, deputy sheriff, lumber jack and newspaper reporter. He aspired to be United States Senator from Arizona and he got there. And now it is said he aspires to be President of the United States. Politics is interesting, in a way. But—did the Giants win today. And did Babe Ruth get his usual home run? His literary tastes, if nothing else, distinguish Senator Ashurst and make him unique.

He aspired to be United States Senator from Arizona and he got there. And now it is said he aspires to be President of the United States. Politics is interesting, in a way. But—did the Giants win today. And did Babe Ruth get his usual home run? ENDOWED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE Having instilled in the mind of his son, ideals for public service, and taught him that money-making and politics should be widely separated, the late Henry P. Davidson, at one time head of the American Red Cross, created in his will, a six and a half million dollar endowment fund whereby this son might devote his life to public welfare in the field of politics unhindered by the necessity of making money. A younger son succeeds the father in the financial world. The young man, F. Trubee Davidson, twenty-six years old, is said to be imbued with his father's high ideals and had made the decision to give up finance for politics before his father's death and before he knew that he was to be endowed. He has already served three terms as assemblyman from his district on Long Island and is said to have won the respect of big men in the Republican party. The elder Davidson loved his country. His watchword was "The public good." In thus endowing his son for a life of public service he has set a patriotic precedent for other men of wealth to follow. Make baseball parks unsafe for gamblers. The American voter may be relied upon to rebuke the demagogue in politics, in due time. A campaign of reason, untainted with abuse and narrow prejudice, would be becoming to this country. Having a good reputation and deserving it are two very different things. Having a bad reputation and deserving it also are two different things. 1000 Business Cards, $2.00 Good PRINTING for less AT THE BENTON PRESS 117 E. 4th St., Santa Ana Announcing SAN FELICE New Invincible Size A more generous value than ever is now yours in the popular SAN FELICE cigar at 8c.

Even the common hog gets fed, but he doesn't all it sophistication. The thing that makes capital punishment ineffectual seems to acquittals. And where are the naughtyoks that affrightened sedate yesteryear? A big man is one who is too easy to scold his wife about missing buttons. Hick: A term of derision applied to country people by those no recently were country people. American leaders don't rattle a sword. Their effort is to rat-competitors. Job was lucky at that. He isn't on the stand where a lawyer could nag him. One way to get acquainted with lot of prominent people is to sit on the jury. The chief fault of our immigrant policy seems to be the length our coast line. How urgently mankind seems to led reforming when your liver isn't working. Mere government can't make shands free. The thumb is lighter than the sword. Man has so thoroughly conceived the air that he can do anything up there if he has luck and thing happens. ABE MARTIN WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS PAUL WAYLAND BARTLETT A few days ago the cables from Paris brought a brief message announcing that Paul Wayland Bartlett, American sculptor, had been honored in Paris by being chosen commander of the Legion of Honor by the French government. This honor was bestowed upon him in recognition of his distinguished services to international art. Paul Bartlett is a New Englander by birth. He was born in New Haven, Conn., and his father was also of New England birth, a Bostonian. His ancestry dates back to the Mayflower Pilgrims. Bartlett is known as the sculptor of the great equestrian statue of Lafayette, which stands at the entrance to the Louvre. A replica of this statue has also been erected at Metz. Only recently there was unveiled the first model of his statue of Sir Wm. Blackstone, internationally known as a great authority in law. This statue is the gift of the American Bar Ass'n to the British Bar Ass'n. The sculptor is now engaged upon the task of completing this masterpiece in his Paris studio. The statue will be cast in bronze. DINNER STORIES A gruff old practitioner of the type of the last generation, who is official physician of the public schools in a small town, was examining the aurul faculties of the pupils one day recently and, with watch in hand, gripped a little girl of 10 taking the test. "Hear that?" he asked, with the timepiece at arm's length. "No, sir," came the timid reply. "Hear that?" he repeated, bringing it slightly nearer. There was no response and he carried the watch nearer and TAGGART'S DEPENDABLE USED CARS Your dollar regular price price of one buy the thimble Five-Minute Vulcanizer Mends all tube punctures perfectly—heat is proved by a non-flaming cheating unit.

TAGGART USED CAR DEPARTMENT 802 North Los Angeles St. A gruff old practitioner of the type of the last generation, who is official physician of the public schools in a small town, was examining the auroral faculties of the pupils one day recently and, with watch in hand, gripped a little girl of 10 taking the test. "Hear that?" he asked, with the timepiece at arm's length. "No, sir," came the timid reply. "Hear that?" he repeated, bringing it slightly nearer. There was no response and he carried the watch nearer and nearer with no better results. Finally, jamming it against the child's ear, he exclaimed with some heat: "Now, don't you hear that?" There was the same menosylable reply, and with an air of deep disgust, the old doctor held the watch to his own ear with the exclamation: "Gosh," the old thing ain't goin'!" They were out for a hike, the dog and John, when they came across a farmhouse on fire. An elderly man standing on the front porch was quite oblivious to the smoke and flames. John quite naturally called out, "Hey, mister, your house is on fire!" The man did not seem to have heard John, however, so he repeated the news lustily, the dog barking along co-operatively. "How's that?" answered the farmer, placing his hand behind his car and looking rather puzzled. "Your house is on fire," John said again. "Is there anything else?" was his imperturbable reply. "No," John hollered, "that's all I can think of just now!" The shoe is new, the lady's pale—I'll bet she hath an ingrown nail; Such nain and anguish she might have missed Had she but seen some chiropodist. According to the size of the average picnic dinner, a day in the woods seems to mean a day in the foods. They healthy are and healthy grow, Who dote on sun and song; They eat but little here below. And chew that little long. Poor, blind Faith, How sad her plight; Should you and I Restore her sight— Good Night! Thank God hens don't lay brick. Wife has another new permanent wave. First aid to the injured: "Stop, Look and Listen!" Spit if you must On this old bare floor; But stifle that sneeze— And don't close the door. The medical profession derives no small part of its support from the school furnace. Said the village wiscacre, The countryside sage: "If you're active you'll live To a useful old age; For early retirement, I'm told by the wise, So often determines An early demise." THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST To survive, every species of creature must fulfill two conflicting requirements, it was held by Herbert Spencer. During a certain period each member must receive benefits in proportion to its incapacity. After that period, it must receive benefits in proportion to its capacity. "Obviously this law that the least worthy shall receive most aid is essential as a law for the immature; the species would disappear in a generation did not parents conform to it," he comments. "Now mark what is, contrariwise, the law for the mature. Here individuals gain benefits proportionate to their merits. The strong, the swift, the keen-sighted, the sagacious, profit by their respective superiorities—catch prey or escape enemies, as the case may be. The less capable thrive less, and on the average of cases rear fewer offspring. The least capable disappear by failure to get food or inability to escape. "And by this process is maintained that quality of the species which enables it to survive in the struggle for existence with other species. There is thus, during mature life, a reversal of the principle that rules during immature life." Hence the necessity Spencer sees of maintaining this cardinal distinction between the ethics of the Family and the ethics of the State. Hence the fatal result if family disintegration goes so far that family policy and state policy become confused. However fitty in the battle of life among adults, the proportioning of awards to merits may be tempered by private sympathy in favor of the inferior; nothing but evil can result if this proportioning is so interfered with by public arrangements that demerit profits at the expense of merit." Spencer decides.
