VAST PHILANTHROPIES OF AMERICANS Americans not only are the most generous livers, but they also are the most generous givers in the world. They give and give, until they themselves do not know the huge measure of their philanthropies. It is true that there are certain social injustices prevalent in this country. These need correction. In due time they will be corrected. Meanwhile, the people support liberally the varied relief works, philanthropic and eleemosynary. When there is disaster, anywhere in this country or in any part of the world, the American people respond quickly and generously to appeals for aid. And to provide for orphans, or the aged, or the helpless indigent, contributions in every locality are made with lavish generosity. Just put the case before the people; just present the urgency of the need, and there is quick response. It is argued oftentimes that it is better to have social justice than to have charity. Well and good. But better still is to have both. Even with the greatest measure of social justice defined and established, there yet would be need of philanthropy. It is well that the philanthropic impulses of the people be maintained. For this is a wonderful stimulus to the development of the noblest attributes of character. When there is a quick marriage and an early divorce, it is a case of Cupid hitting into a double play. MENACE TO CHILDREN IN TRAFFIC The slaughter of children in traffic becomes more and more frightful. In one day, in Los Angeles, one child was killed and five injured—some of them fatally—by being run When there is a quick marriage and an early divorce, it is a case of Cupid hitting into a double play. MENACE TO CHILDREN IN TRAFFIC The slaughter of children in traffic becomes more and more frightful. In one day, in Los Angeles, one child was killed and five injured—some of them fatally—by being run over in traffic. This is a problem that has two sides to it. It is not always reckless driving that causes death to children in traffic. Sometimes the most careful drivers run down children. Truth is, parents are to blame, in many instances, in permitting tiny tots to wander in the streets. One may be driving slowly and carefully, and a little one may dart in front of the car and be run over before the machine could possibly be stopped. Too much blame should not be heaped upon drivers for tragedies involving children in traffic. Young children should not be allowed to venture on the streets without the guidance of an older person. Streets are not safe playgrounds. Parents are bidding for a tragedy when they permit their children to play in the streets. There are ample playground facilities in every city. These grounds should be utilized. Streets are for traffic. It not only is unsafe for children to play in public thoroughfares, but it is unfair to those who drive in the streets. They have right to a clear way, except the reasonable and unavoidable hindrances attendant upon traffic. Read the Bible for the noblest in literature and the loftiest in spiritual truth. The Salvation Army, wherever it may be found, is sure to be found doing good to those who sorely need to have good done to them. 500 BIZ.

He never leads a dog's life. Famous last words: "Well, if he won't dim his, I won't dim mine." Another example of the "strong and silent" in politics is Wall-st. Malcolm MacDonald is lucky. Nobody cares how he wears his hat brim. A gentleman is a man who tries to look glad when his wife says she is going along. Don't cuss the fillyver. The silver dollars in your pocket may be making that noise. Relatives are persons who wonder how you have managed to keep out of jail so long. No man is entitled to free speech until he can listen patiently while the opposition talks. Usually it is safe to maintain your right of way if the fellow coming has a shiny new car. A rocket trip to the moon would have more appeal if the rocket had the shape of a boomerang. In these corrupt times it is a real compliment for a moonshiner to shoot a revenue officer. Those smuggled in at $600 each are not morons. It takes brains to make $600 in Europe now. With Mr. Bryan running, this election will at least answer the question: What's in a name?

One morning, while out for a stroll in the sunshine, he happened to meet one of the two local postmen. This particular man had to walk nearly 20 miles every day in order to get through his round, which consisted of a very scattered district indeed. After a few questions the novelist ascertained that the postman had delivered letters on the same round for over 50 years, excepting during a fortnight's holiday each year.

When we are old, are old——" "And when we die All's over that is ours; and life burns on Through other lovers, other lips." said I, "Heart of my heart, our heaven is now, is won!" "We are Earth's beat, that learnt her lesson here. Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!" we said; "We shall go down with unreluctant trend. Rose-crowned into the darkness!" —Proud we were. And laughed; that had such brave things to say. And then suddenly cried, and turned away. —Rupert Brooke. WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS JAMES WADSWORTH, JR. Senator James Wadsworth, Jr., credited with swinging the nomination of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., as Republican candidate for governor of New York state, is now looked upon as G. O. P. boss of the state by political students. Wadsworth assured the nomination of young Roosevelt, it is said, when the former swung his support from Speaker Machold of the state assembly to Roosevelt. Wadsworth has been a U. S. senator since 1914. He first attracted political attention while in the lower house of the legislature of the Empire state when he fought bitterly the direct primary law advocated by the then Governor Hughes. It is interesting to recall at this time that young Roosevelt's father endorsed the proposed law. Wadsworth supported the war policies of President Wilson but opposed strongly the entry of the U. S. into the League of Nations. He married a daughter of John Hay, regarded as one of America's greatest statesmen and diplomats. G: & L: LEASE G. AND L.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying DISCREDIT MOON FARMING—San Bernardino Sun To question confidence in the almanac when it comes to planting is still regarded as almost sacerdote, by many an old-fashioned farmer. Unless the "sign" is right, he is sure that it will be useless for him to attempt to get a crop. The Federal Department of Agriculture has issued an almanac for farmers, and this almanac contains a somewhat serious attack on the ideas of persons who adhere to the moon lore for farming and gardening. The almanac will have the approval of the modern farmer, who has adopted business-like methods in his farming operations. "Don't plant by the moon" the almanac says, "but get the best seed, and prepare the seed bed, then plant when soil and moisture conditions are right." Good sense, certainly, but how are you going to convince the man who has a moon almanac hanging in the kitchen? The farmer who plants by the moon sometimes makes out a good case for himself, in spite of the scuffling of the experts. He will tell of fine crops grown when the moon was right, and how his neighbor failed to get a return of the seed when they disregarded the moon. The Department of Agriculture insists that the preparation of the seed bed and planting at a time when conditions of heat and moisture are most favorable, with proper cultivation, will ensure good crops, regardless of what the moon almanac may say. Students in agricultural schools and some farmers may believe that, but it is too much to expect that many farmers will not continue skeptical in spite of the assurance of the experts. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND INITIATED LAWS Ballot of November, 1924 GEORGE VARNUM, of Orange County Bar It has grown to an axiom that "The Law grows slowly." When the voter receives his ballot this year however, he will be apt to think that the Axiom has been outgrown, for there will greet him no less than sixteen Amendments to the Constitution: Four submitted by the Senate and 10 by the Assembly while two are due to Initiative petitions. The importance of these measures becomes apparent when it is recalled that they each require a new class of legislation to carry them into effect since they are not self executing if adopted, and thus is assured many additions to our statutes, which in turn may be time after time amended, re-divisions and become rivals for freight on distances of a thousand miles? With these changes come new taxation problems due among other things to the use of publicly built roads and the necessity for the protection of the public in their use and operation. This measure is an Initiated Statute—initiated by the transportation companies themselves it is charged. They claim recognition as in the same class as steam R. R. and other public utilities; demanding the same treatment as they claim in this matter of taxation. There are, however, many points of difference between the use of the highways constructed by the public money and the railroads. Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Lemley and two boys Billy and Glen were among those who attended the Red Lantern Theater in Brea Sunday evening. Mrs. S. A. McLucas of Fullerton spent Thursday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. K. L.

McElhany and daughter Lois and Mrs. James Bauldin spent Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Pete Doyle, formerly of this lease but now of outgrown, for there will greet him no less than sixteen Amendments to the Constitution: Four submitted by the Senate cnd 10 by the Assembly while two are due to Initiative petitions.The importance of these measures becomes apparent when it is recalled that they each require a new class of legislation to carry them into effect since they are not self executing if adopted, and thus is assured many additions to our statutes, which in turn may be time after time, amended, repealed or added to by every following legislature.Where to open the flood gates for such new laws at all and if any, how far, is the question confronting the California voter. In addition two Iniative statutes are submitted for enactment by the people.The last Legislature, however, seems to have measureably met the approval of the people since there are no Referendum appeals from legislative enactments. At the session of the State Bar Association held last month at Avalon the writer was privileged to attend, and a full half day was given to careful and serious consideration of these proposed changes in our substantive law.I shall try in these articles to present as clearly as I can some of the salient features of each submitted proposition in the hope that it may be of some value in securing a large expression at the ballot box, by giving a better understanding of their importance and effect.Since the voter is the Sovereign at the polls, I will not presume to advise, satisfied that a ful expression of an informed Electorate is the best assurance of good government. These propositions will appear on the ballot numbered from 1 to 18.The arrangement as to subject matter is very bad but I will follow the ticket arrangement as a convenience to the voter. No 1.A row over taxation!Who would have dreamed a few years ago that motor vehicle traffic on our public highways would have actually driven passenger service entirely from some R.R. Most thoughtful voters will vote for No 2. No 3.Deposit of Public Monies.Ameblyman Chester M.Kline and C.C.Spailed submit a measure designed to give irrigation districts, and in fact all "public monies"the some privilege that the state, county and municipalities already have, to be deposited in banks where it will draw interestWhile a minor matter it will be of distinct advantage to some sections and there seems to be no reason for voting against No 2.
