Orange co., per year, $3; 4 months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The consciousness that a man is becoming stronger in his faith, clearer in his convictions, warmer in his love, must, from its very nature, be a glad consciousness. And the hope of greater strength yet to be attained, of loftier heights yet to be reached, is more joyous still.—Anonymous. CRIME DOES NOT PAY, ANY WAY VIEWED Crime is unprofitable. It does not pay the criminal, viewing it at any angle. Even though the criminal might succeed in eluding arrest and in amassing considerable property by unlawful means, the possession of ill-gotten gains gives no real happiness. There is always the lurking fear of detection and punishment. Every strange sound, every searching look by a stranger, everything that might suggest the approach of an arresting officer puts and keeps the criminal on tension. Fear exacts dreadful toll, in time. Fear and remorse have driven many a murderer to confession and to surrender. And there is "the still small voice" with which to reckon. The criminal who has not smothered his conscience is troubled incessantly—even more, perhaps, than he will admit to himself. Like the lashing of whips and the keen thrusts of daggers are the stingings of conscience. And if the criminal become hardened, so that he no longer has a conscience, that in itself is a terrible punishment. Crime does not pay, because it gives no permanent, assured material profit; because it gives no real peace of mind and no happiness; and because it robs man of his pride in his better self and brutalizes his nature. If you have confidence that prosperity is to come and is to continue, you will help it to come and to abide. CRIME AGAINST CHILD IS ABOMINABLE Crime does not pay, because it gives no permanent, assured material profit; because it gives no real peace of mind and no happiness; and because it robs man of his pride in his better self and brutalizes his nature. If you have confidence that prosperity is to come and is to continue, you will help it to come and to abide. CRIME AGAINST CHILD IS ABOMINABLE Two little girls have been missing for several weeks from a Los Angeles home. Frantic search has been made by neighbors and friends, by Boy Scouts and by other official organizations. The police, latterly, have been making special efforts to learn the fate of these little ones, but without success. This is not an isolated case. This species of crime erupts up all too frequently. Children are abducted and held for ransom. Or they are taken and become the victims of unspeakably foul assaults. This is a crime that is monstrously cruel and beastly. Too often the guilty escape too lightly. Penalty for flagrant offenses of this nature should be the same as the penalty for murder. This, in some ways, is worse than murder. It reends the hearts of parents and friends. It terrorizes the whole community. When one case occurs in a neighborhood other parents are frightened and apprehensive for the safety of their little ones. No home would be safe if this type of crime were not checked. Society should protect itself against this terrible offense. California, in particular should deal sternly with criminals of this sort. This state should be made safe for women and children—safe against unspeakable crime. Keep salacious, sensationalized printed matter, falsely called "news," out of the homes. There should be as much honesty and candor in politics as there is in other activity or relationship in life.

"The progress must visit of last summer, remarkable in many showing that the power tilting down to law and throwing themselves into the work of common progress."

PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLEN Women wonder why Wales is single; men wonder how he managed it. School zone; drive slow," is a fair warning. You might meet an advert. Conservatives are people who think "radical" and "discontented" synonymous. The French are a practical lot. They make fewer records and more planes. The three curses of our generation: loose tongues, loose morals, loose brakes. The militantism will begin soon after patriotism is purged of appetite and envy. The things one stands for are called convictions; the things one falls for are called flappers. Psychology: The rich man grew thin and smiled; the poor man grew thin and cursed. Daughters wouldn't have, so much to tell mothers if mothers would tell daughters more. It's queer the authorities can't discover fake stocks, when the sucker finds them so easily. States enjoy ridiculing the senators from other states. It helps them to forget their own. The truth is, you don't particularly care for the darked thing unless you can't afford it. And so there is a new demand for travel literature? And the Couzens committee has only begun. A hick town is a place where Central can tell you which member of the family the doctor was called. LITTLE DOSES OF COMMON SENSE BY DR. W. F. THOMSON For most of our sickness, The only defense We c'n establish Is sweet indolence. Hard livers from high living. Scaly patches on the skin, thus do cancers off begin. A typhoid carrier in a dairy is like a spark in a powder house. A high infant mortality rate is invariably associated with a high bacterial count in the milk supply. Speaking of hair, people are dying this year who never dyed before. In the devil's laboratory, the idle are used for experimental purposes. If we'd catch more fish And hunt more duck, We'd catch less cold And have more luck. You can't keep a baby well without milk, nor milk, very well without ice. When it comes to complexions, the cosmetic manufacturers have put it all over old nature. Why worry? Seventy-five percent of our troubles never happen and 75 per cent of our alliments need no treatment. If you whistle or sing. It's a wonderful thing. And brightens the dull of the day. In clover or thistles. The fellow who whistles Will drive all his troubles away. MOTOR ASSOCIATED A hick town is a place where Central can tell you which member of the family the doctor was called to see. A dull newspaper is one in which you don't recognize the names of any of the casualties. The scars of war heal, and none are mad at one another now except Mr. Hughes and Mr. Tsotsky.

SAYS RETURNED OBSEVERER Ireland is already far advanced on the road to liberty, unity and progress, reports Daniel F. Cohan, former Justice of the supreme court of New York state, who returned home recently after spending the summer in Ireland. "The progress made since my visit of last summer," he adds, "is remarkable in many ways, all showing that the people are settling down to law and order and throwing themselves earnestly into the work of construction and progress." "Much of the wave of pessimism which seemed to have engulfed the people after the troubles of recent years has subsided. There are fewer strikes and labor disturbances, and new fields of activity and industry have been opened for the many who a year ago were seeking work. The government has appropriated 1,500,000 English pounds for road construction and already many highways compare favorably with the best we have in America. The broken bridges and causeways which were so numerous last year have in the main been rebuilt. Factories are reopening. Many small new industries have started in the towns and villages, and an air of optimism is to be found among the people." "A movement for regulation and amalgamation of the railroad companies has been initiated by the government, looking towards cheapening of passenger and freight rates and for betterment of service in a country that, because of its size, is essentially one of short hauls." "I was struck on many sides by the number of people of different political points of view whom I met who had grasped firmly the idea that in the end the prosperity and contentment of the people must rest not alone upon political freedom, but upon economic strength, which will come only as..." and amalgamation of the railroad companies has been initiated by the government, looking towards cheapening of passenger and freight rates and for betterment of service in a country that, because of its size, is essentially one of short hauls. "I was struck on many sides by the number of people of different political points of view whom I met who had grasped firmly the idea that in the end the prosperity and contentment of the people must rest not alone upon political freedom, but upon economic strength, which will come only as the result of industry, thrift, and hard work on the part of the individual members of the community. "The people, regardless of creed or political leanings, seemed to me to understand more and more their community of economic interest, and to be anxious to get in commercial contact with many countries, and particularly with America, rather than to be content only with England. "Seek Many Markets "While recognizing that England in the natural order of things, will for a considerable period at least continue to be the main market for the sale of their agricultural products, many merchants and exporters feel that it is the part of economic wisdom to have many markets open to their goods, in order that they may be no longer at the mercy of only one possible customer. "I heard expressions on many sides of the intention to invite, by hard work as well as by legislation, American capital to come to Ireland, and I believe there is a great field there for some of our surplus capital."

It is pointed out by George Elliot (in an essay on Heine) that the truth of this observation would perhaps have been more apparent if he had said culture instead of character. The last thing in which the cultivated man can have community with the vulgar is their jocularity; and we can hardly exhibit more strikingly the wide gulf which separates him from them than by comparing the object which shakes the diaphragm of a coal-heaver with the mighty complex pleasure derived from real witfulness. That any high order of wit is exceedingly complex and demands a ripe and strong mental development has one evidence in the fact that we do not find it in boys at all in proportion to their manifestation of other powers, it was pointed out by George Elliot, (the pseudonym you know, of a woman.) Clever boys generally aspire to the heroic and poetic rather than the comic, it seemed to her, and the crudest of all their efforts are their jokes. "Many a witty man will remember how in his schooldays, a practical joke, more or less Rabelaisian, was for him the ne plus ultra of the ludicrous." It seems to have been the same with the boyhood of mankind. The fun of early races was, Elliot fancies, of the after-dinner kind—loud-throated laughter over the winecup, taken too little account of in their sober moments to enter as an element into their Art.
