GREATNESS IN PEACE IS RECOGNIZED NOW True greatness is better appreciated now than formerly. Great men and women in rags, living in garrets and feeding on crusts, are not numerous today. The world is better inclined now to recognize genius and great worth of character. The great characters of peace are honored now more than formerly. The warrior is not the exclusive recipient of honors. Indeed, the tendency has been, in this country especially, to turn more to the great men and women of peace than to the warriors. There is a greater measure of intelligence in the world today than ever before. A free press, constantly developing and widening its influence, is one of the very foremost factors in educating the people and keeping them informed on current events. With this wider intelligence has come better discrimination and sounder judgment on the part of the masses of the people in appraising men and their services. It is realized now, better than in the benighted past, that they who devote their genius to constructive, helpful service to mankind in the arts of peace are entitled to greater glory than they have had in the past. Honors and awards and recognitions of meritorious achievements in the arts of peace are given in various ways—through such awards as the Nobel prizes and others. This is well. It exerts a salutary influence for the world to put premium upon that type of greatness which devotes itself to the betterment and uplift of the human race. people in appraising men and their services.

BANDITS MURDERING IN MEXICO AGAIN Murderous bandits are active again in Mexico. In the latest bloody outrage two Americans are said to have been shain. It was not far from Juarez that a bandit gang wrecked a passenger train and killed nine passengers, then plundered the train. Mexican federal authorities immediately took up the hunt for the outlaws. President Obregon undoubtedly will deal sternly with that situation. There seems to be no reason to fear that there will be another protracted reign of terror, such as visited Mexico in the days of Francisco Villa. The federal authorities in Mexico have too firm a grip to be bested by murderous bandits. The Mexican government doubtless will disavow the acts of the bandits promptly and pledge every effort to give protection to Americans below the border. President Obregon, in giving such pledge, will do all possible to keep his word. Now let the usual run of things proceed as usual—Washington has won the world's championship and almost everybody is satisfied.

As head of the Nationallists he was the logical man for the position of head of the new cabinet, a nationalists-coalition one. Like General Smutz and the late General Bothn, General Hertzog won fame in the Boer war against the British.

NEW METHOD HEAL PYORRHEA Ten Year Bad Case Completely Healed In A Short Time Writes Florida Woman Faced with the loss of her teeth, after ten years' suffering, Mrs. M. J. Travis, an esteemed resident of Jacksonville, declares she finally saved her teeth by a simple home treatment; "worth its weight in gold," using her own words. "After having pyorrhea for 10 years my mouth is now healed. Before I found out differently, I was told there was no relief and had yielded to the loss of six fine, solid teeth. Then I discovered Moore's Pyorrhea treatment. Three days after starting its use, the soreness left my gums; my teeth began to tighten. Now my teeth are clean my breath sweet, and my mouth completely healed." The experience of Mrs. Travis is duplicated in hundreds of other cases. If you have pyorrhea—or threatened with pyorrhea, your teeth are in danger. Quick and effective treatment is necessary. You can test, without money risk the treatment used by Mrs. Travis. Simply write the Moreham Co., 185 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo. Under their guarantee of refund send two dollars. Or, pay postman the $2 with few cents postage. Use the treatment 7 days. Then if you are not wholly satisfied write to that effect and your $2 will be returned at once. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying BUILDING ROADS, UPBUILDING MEN—Santa Barbara News Ben H. Milliken, superintendent of the prison road camp system of the state, is not only a thorough believer in the economy of the convict system of road building, but he is even more impressed with the results of the system on the prisoners themselves. The system was devised chiefly to find a method of employing convicts profitably without bringing them into competition with free labor. When convicts are used in prison factories, in most instances the products of their labor either compete on the open market with goods manufactured by free labor or they displace goods which otherwise would be bought of the private manufacturers. In either case the result is the same and free labor is forced to compete with the unpaid prison labor. There is no such unfair result when prisoners are used in road construction as it is possible to use these men in such a way as to avoid this competition. Under the system of forced prison labor on the roads, the problem of guarding these men in the wide open country is serious and adds greatly to the cost of keeping prisoners. The California system which Mr. Milliken was an important factor in developing is the employment by the state of its own prison inmates under such conditions that they actually profit by their own work—and get the money when they are freed. It has been found, according to Milliken, that the fact that these men are on a wage basis goes far to raising them out of the status of convicts and places them in their own estimation, in the position of hired workers for the state. It is claimed for the system that it has resulted in sending time expired prisoners back to free life, with restored self respect trained to industrious habits. They have learned the joy of real work under conditions similar to those of the outer world from which they have been removed. This is an accomplishment worth while. Not only does the state receive roads which otherwise it would not have but more important than all else it is rebuilding men who become a permanent asset to society. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE IT'S ALWAYS FORWARD OR BACKWARD We do not rest satisfied with the present. We anticipate the future as slow in coming, as if in order to hasten its course; or we recall the past, to stop its too rapid flight. Pascal was mindful of this when he observed: "So imprudent are we that we wander in the times which a spring shower. At the presidential election 1896 80 per cent of the eligible voters cast their ballot. In 1900 the percentage fell to 72. In 1912 only 62 per cent went to the polls. In 1920 this dropped to 49 per cent—less than half." As this last slump has been largely blamed on the women who, in 1920, had their first opportunity to vote in a national election, but who failed to take advantage of it as they should, the League of Voters' campaign, while carried on for both men and women, is especially planned to rouse the new voter to her new responsibility as well as to educate her in government and politics. "Women will count for little politically," the league holds, "as long as they do not vote. Politicians will pay them idle complements, nominate a few of them for office here and there, but until the majority of women vote the great things women wish to see done will remain undone. Now is the time for the new women voter to make good. No delusive claims of superiority or even equality will stand if our vote falls below the men's level. Non-Voters Do "Elect" "The vote seems like a little thing, just a slip of paper, but it is really the greatest power for good or evil ever put into a woman's hand. Bad men are elected to office by good women who do not vote. "Any woman's vote may be the one which determines whether schools are good, laws for women are passed or taxes for the country made just. For politics isn't merely something they do down in Washington. It's something they do right here in our own town—to our taxes, our schools, our streets, our rents and the cost of our food." PRODIGY AT SIX LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21.—A 6-year-old prodigy has been discovered here in the person of Bobby Harris, who can solve mathematical problems without the use of a pencil faster than the average high school student. Furthermore he can give the result in nine different languages, having memorized numerals up to 100. The child has never been to school and can neither read nor write. DENIED REHEARING WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—The Federal Trade commission was denied today by the supreme court of the United States a rehearing of its suit against the National Biscuit Co., New York, to compel compliance with an order requiring cessation of price discrimination between chain stores and individual independent grocery stores. The prevalence of colds and grippe is coincident with the closing and heating of houses. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE IT'S ALWAYS FORWARD OR BACKWARD We do not rest satisfied with the present. We anticipate the future as slow in coming, as if in order to hasten its course; or we recall the past, to stop its too rapid flight. Pascal was mindful of this when he observed: "So imprudent are we that we wander in the times which are not ours, and do not think of the only one which benefits us; and so idle are we that we dream of these things without no more, and thoughtlessly overlook that which alone exists. "For the present is generally painful to us. We conceal it from our sight, because it troubles us; and if it be delightful to us, we regret to see it pass away. We try to sustain it by the future, and think of arranging matters which are not in our power, for time which we have no certainty of reachings. "Let each one examine his thoughts, and he will find them all occupied with the past and the future. We scarcely ever think of the present; and if we think of it, it is only to take the light from it to arrange the future. The present is never our end. The past and present are our means; the future alone in our end. "So we never live, but we hope to live; and, as we are always preparing to be happy, it is inevitable we should never be."
