FIRE DANGER

NARELESSNESS has so much to
l do with brush fires during these
~ dangerous days of dry heat
that the utmost care and caution
should be taken to avoid danger,
Fire records show much loss OF
property has been caused by sim
pie, downright carelessness. Not only
has property been destroyed, but
human life has been endangered
When destruction and accident may be
the result of carelessness, what shall
be said when the accusation is made
that careless people sometimes are
not much better than criminals?
The firebug who deliberately starts
a blaze is punished severely. But the
firebug who starts blaze by irrespon-
sible carelessness goes scot free. Il
this fair?
Let us hope all our citizens, es
pecially those whose homes on The
outskirts are near brush, timber ol
dry grass, will use every reasonable
ecaution-including where eXpe
dent back-fring-in the effort t
lessen the fire danger during these
torrid days.

PREACHERS DUTY

u EV. GLEN MacWILLIAMs is cor
X rect in his contention that, ode
AZ spite the popular notion that a
preacher should be silent on all ques-
tions except his catechlsm, the mar
riage ceremony and the dead" it is a
minister's duty to take PROMINENT
part in public discussions of matters
affecting public morality, ethics and
righteousness. Even as an individual
has a CHARACTER to develop or to
lose, every city has a CHARACTER.
The Bible tells us one Of the ancient
cities lost it's character, and a preacher
was sent to give warning it must re-
form or be swept from the face of the
earth with quake, fire and birthstone
And in the Old and New Testaments
are many instances of denunciation of
cities by Gods messengers; and history
tells us in every case in which a di-
vinely inspired man foretold doom for
a city that persisted in wickedness
after having been warned to reform
THAT DOOM CAME.
Where are now the cities of the
plain? Where is Tyre? Sidon? Nine
veh? Babylon? Jerusalem is a Mos
lem restoration. Alexandria is a neo-
British revival. Athens and Rome re-
tain their ancient names, but only
ruins are left to indicate the grandeur
of the civilization which has been re-
placed by a tawdry, unsplritual, mod
ern mixture of commercialism and mil
itarism.
Human nature is the same old human
nature. This is the same old world.
There are still only twenty-four hours
in a day. We travel faster and COM
municate with friends and others at a
distance faster-indeed, the annlhila-
tion of space and that cross section of
space that is called "time" seems to be
the principal aim Of modern endeavor.
The greatest comfort of the greatest
number has been forgotten. Truly
there is need for the voice of the
preacher!
THE first of all the commandments
is, Hear, 0 Israel; the Lord our God
is one Lord: and thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength; this
is the first commandment"
"And the second is like, namely this
THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGH.
BOR AS THYSELF.' There is none
other commandment greater thar

GREAT DOIN'S

NREAT doin's at the Rump conven-
tT ton caucuses.
W All who read the accounts pub
lshed by the newspapers found them
thrilling. The actual experiences of
those who took in" the caucuses or
were taken in by them were even
thrillinger.
Burbank invented the spineless cac-
tus, but the spineless caucus is a much
more wonderful vegetable.
The spineless caucus is an attach
ment of the Rump-grows on the
Rump, so to speak. Its spinelessness
is due to the fact it's backbone is
owned by the Southern Pacific ma
chine.
The delegates chosen by the spine-
less caucuses will attend a Southern
Pacific convention, at which they will
go through the motions which at first
glance would lead a beholder to believe
they are real men and not machine
marionettes.
ANY person who disturbs the Con-
vention by yelling "Primaries!" and
thus produces a panic will be treated
in the same fashion as the idiot who
shrieks "Fire" in a theater. Music for
the Convention will be supplied by
several organists, we'll equipped with
special effects" among them chest
nut chimes.
When the principal organ is grind
ing out "Just Before the Battle
Mother" Walter Parker and Don
Quixote McGarvin will create a tab
leau by falling upon each others necks
and weeping with joy.
Notice to the printer: Please do not
make 1t Gust Before the Bottle
Mother" That might jar somebody S
feelings.)
When the Conventions candidates
are in the field we will be delighted to
join in the moving-target practice for
which they will afford opportunity.
And when the Rump is withered we
will take pleasure in writing its
obituary.
IT'S but little faded Rump,
But oh, how fondly dear
To many a hungry, thirsty chump

Could the education outrage have
happened in any city except Los Ange-
les? No. Because there is no other
great city in the country that would
allow any selfish interests to interfere
with its life as selfish interests at
tempt to interfere with the life of Los
Angeles. In no other city of the Union
at any time in the history of the Re-
public, has there been found a man
with soul so dead to honor and de-
cency as to sacrifice to his internal
prejudices the training and the life
prospects of the children of his fellow

SEA POWER

MARITIME interests of Los Ans
N geles demand public sentiment
AA should heartily support an at
tempt to make the United States
world power in respect of merchant
marine as in other respects. Other
world power nations possess large mer-
camille fleets, take the share of the
worlds traffic which legitimately would
belong to this nation and use cargo
carrying vessels to support battleships
and land forces. America in time of
peace needs a great merchant marine
as a necessary national business agent,
In time of war America needs a great
merchant marine as an auxiliary force
to both the land and naval forces. The
Merchant Marine league makes the
following statements:
"Without the aid of merchant ma
rine we cannot hope to win in war
against a great nation possessing a
good merchant marine; nor could we
hold our outlying possessions. 1t is
far better business proposition to Gre
ate and maintain such force by CIV
ing the owners trade advantages in
peace time than to build and maintain
sufficient force of such vessels by di-
rect government appropriations. We
freely grant government aid to rail-
roads, other roads, waterways, arid
lands and the like. and refuse such aid
to a mercantile marino that would be
=
try. This condition should cease.
'That our great country should al
low itself to be almost entirely de-
pendent on foreign ships to carry our
share of the great ocean commerce oi
the world is a cause of wonderment
and derision in foreign eyes and should
create a feeling of humiliation on our
part. That the American congress
should for a long series Of years vote
down every bill to create this condi-
ton is amazing. 1t is high time that
the constituency Of those so voting
should most energetically demand that
congress give our country an adequate
mercantile marine and should begin the
work at once"
AS an item Of national security in
time of war the value of a merchant
marine should never be lost sight of.
A merchant marine is as indispensable
to battleships as a supply train to an
army in the field. No fleet Of battle
ships alone can go more than 2500
miles and return without recoaling.
During it's famous world encirclinS
trip our navy was almost entirely de-
pendent upon foreign ships and foreign
markets for supplies, all of which, ex-
cepting those for temporary use, would
have ceased on a declaration of war
| 1t is international law that foreign
carrying ships in the service of a navy
must on the declaration of war leave
that service at once. Naval ships of a
nation at war must leave friendly ports
within forty-eight hours after enter
hing .or on notice of declaration of war
National security, patriotism, wisdom
and common sense demand that the
merchant flag of Columbia be restored
to the seas.

GEOGRAPHY NEEDED

misleading. The compilers of the

bor though they give great promi-

CRUEL MUZZLES

TT IS all very well to enforce the
dog muzzling ordinance, but we
n strongly advise the S. P. c. A. to
superintend the enforcement. The or
binary strap muzzle which keeps a
dog from opening his mouth as wide
as he wishes to open it, in order that
he may perspire freely in warm
weather. is cruel to the dog and is a
menace to the public. If a muzzle
must be worn 1t should be a basket
muzzle, so big the dog can open his
mouth, stick out his tongue and per-
spire freely. A strap-muzzled dog
may go mad, just as a human being
will become demented If his pores are
stopped up and perspiration is pre-
vented. And as water and plenty of
