Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS It is a true instinct when men are led to regard the beauty of the world that comes to them through the eye, and the moral light that shines from behind upon the soul, as coming from one center, and leading upward to the thought of one Being who is above both. In this way all visible beauty becomes a hint and a foreshadowing of something more than itself.—J. C. Shairp. HEROIC GIRL SINGS AS SEA MENACES It is a beautiful story that comes from Norfolk, Va., about the courage of a girl of 18 in the midst of perils. Katherine Woodworth, of Rockport, Mass., was in the shipwreck of a schooner that went down during the terrific storm that swept the Atlantic coast. She with six other victims of the shipwreck, were adrift for many hours in a lifeboat in the open sea. A blinding snowstorm was raging. The brave girl repeatedly sang to keep up the courage of her companions in distress. This is the test that shows the quality of a human being. This little band had very little chance indeed of being rescued. The elements were terrorizing. The menace of death was present constantly. And yet this young woman, in full possession of her faculties, looked into the grim face of this hazard and defied it. How many men would do that? Certainly no man could be more dangerous than that. Heroism however, is not governed by sex. It runs through both sexes. There are men and women everywhere, in all walks of life—in all stations—who are brave and self-sacrificing—who would risk life, if need be, to save others. The country needs fewer and better laws and more res- This little band had very little chance indeed of being rescued. The elements were terrorizing. The menace of death was present constantly.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN TOMB SHRINE OF YOUNG More than 1800 school children of Iowa and Missouri were taken to Springfield, Ill., to visit the tomb of Abraham Lincoln, and to place a wreath thereon. This was an inspiring thing. Pilgrimages of this nature should be encouraged. Abraham Lincoln has been, is, and ever should be, an inspiration to the young of this country. His was an inspiring life. He was essentially self-made. He sprang from the humblest stratum of American life. He was endowed only with a vigorous constitution, a strong character and a wholesome ambition. But with these raw materials he carved out a character so sublime that it will shine resplendently through the ages. Mr. Lincoln made his own career. He met adversity and reverses of all kinds with manly courage and with the wonderful initiative that marked him as one of the greatest reformers and constructive statesmen in the history of the world. Take the children to his tomb. Encourage them to reverence and to emulate this great character. Put the story of his life into their hands. Impress upon them the homely but rugged virtues which made him an immortal. Worry kills where cheerfulness thrills. Own a home and laugh at discontent. Santa Claus may be old, as years go, but he has sprightness of youth in his soul. Evading or violating laws is serious. It is breeding a spirit in this country that is dangerous. The example, too, is demoralizing to the young. Every effort should be put forth by the law-abiding to counteract the growing tendency to treat law with disrespect.

After washing these leafy vegetables well they should be placed in a pan without water except that which clings to the vegetables after they are washed. Put a cover on the pan and allow it to simmer over a slow fire for about ten minutes, then turn the fire up and allow them to boil for five or ten minutes longer. In this way they will cook in their own juices, as the first ten minutes of cooking will draw the juice from the leaves so that sufficient liquid will be available for the cooking of the vegetables themselves. Do not remove the cover from the pan often, as the steam will escape if you do this, and more water will have to be added. No seasoning should be used in the cooking. These greens are frequently spoiled by the addition of bacon or pork, and are usually salted, which not only destroys their delicate flavor, but makes them indigestible, while if any grease is used in their preparation it will interfere with the digestion of other foods.

KOMMISAROV Considerable interest has been aroused in the career of General Michael S. Kommisarov, who writes with such apparet knowledge of the intrigues of the Russian court under Czar Nicholas II. That he is in a position to discuss intimately the subjects he writes about is brought out in the memoirs of the number of Russian statesmen, who depict him as both an energetic secret service official and a sinister figure. Kommisarov was born in Moscow, educated in a military academy and commissioned in the artillery. He performed valuable service in the Russian-Japanese war by obtaining secret military documents, the Czar informed Prime Minister Witte, as the latter records in his memoirs. Next he was attached to the personal staff of Plehve, minister of interior, and in 1906 he was in charge of a secret section of the police department at Petrograd, which was supposed to watch the activities of various revolutionary and terrorist organizations. About this time, Count Witte writes, it was reported to him that "proclamations inciting to anti-Jewish pogroms" were being distributed from Kommisarov's office. Reference to Kommisarov's alleged part in stirring up pogroms is also made in the memoirs of Lopukhin, one-time head of the political secret service department of the ministry of interior. From 1907 to 1910, Kommisarov was head of the "Okhranka"—the Russian abbreviation for the safeguarding of public security and order—in Petrograd and during the next four years in similar capacities in the Ural and Volga regions. Then he was summoned to Petrograd once more for confidential work under the ministry of Interior. Among his duties was the investigation of Rasputin, COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying CONSCRIPT PROPERTY IN WAR—Sacramento Bee Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, bragged at a meeting of his Big Business associates the other day how he had prevented the federalization of the iron and steel business during the war. His statement in effect was that this was a grand and glorious achievement. Apparently it was for the steel profiteers. For now comes Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the war industry board, and declares that when this body fixed a price of three and one-half cents a pound on steel plates. "Gary held out for a higher price and finally arbitrated for substantially more than those figures." And guess whom Baruch meant when he added: "There were some individuals in the steel business who could not subordinate commercialism to war needs." They not only "could not", but they "would not" while the youth of the Nation was offering their lives for $30 a month. Such was the measure of their patriotism. Baruch in closing his statement, said: "I came to the conclusion then and have since been strengthened in it, that in times of such emergency and war, it is right and it is necessary to conscript money and materials as well as men for the National service." Just such a program long has been advocated by the Bee. The Nation that has the power to commandeer the lives of her citizens should have just as great authority over their purses, and should use it as well. In other words, Uncle Sam should play no favorites in future wars, neither should the extremity of the Nation longer be made the source of profits, running sometimes into the millions, for those safe at home, Elbert H. Gary to the contrary notwithstanding. BUT IS KNOWLEDGE POWER? What we call knowledge is often our positive ignorance; ignorance our negative knowledge, thought Thoreau. "By long years of patient industry and reading of the newspapers,—for what are the libraries of science but the files of newspapers?—a man accumulates a myriad of facts, lays them up in his memory, and then when in some spring of his life he saunters abroad into the Great Fields of thought, he, as it were, goes to grass like a horse and leaves all his harness behind in the stable. "I would say to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge." BUT IS KNOWLEDGE POWER? What we call knowledge is often our positive ignorance; ignorance our negative knowledge, thought Thoreau.

"I would say to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, sometimes,—Go to grass. You have eaten hay long enough. The spring has come with its green crop. The very cows are driven on to their country pastures before the end of May; though I have heard of one unnatural farmer who kept his cow in the barn and fed her hay all the year round. So, frequently, the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge treats its cattle. "A man's ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful—while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with—he who knows nothing about a rare subject, and, what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows it all? "My desire for knowledge is intermittent; but my desire to bathe my head in atmosphere unknown to my feet is perennial and constant. The highest that we can attain to is not Knowledge but Sympathy with Intelligence. "I do not know that this higher knowledge amounts to anything more definite than a novel and grand surprise or a sudden revelation of the insufficiency of all we called Knowledge before—a discovery that there are more things in heaven than are dreamed of in our philosophy. It is the lighting up of the mist by the sun. "Man cannot know in any higher sense than this, any more than he can look serenely and with impunity in the face of the sun."
