San Simeon, Calif.-War veterans
of the East have expelled Governor
Rolph of California from their ina
tional advisory board because he,
too hastily. approved the lynching
Of two kidnapers at San Jose. Calf.
1t should be remembered that
what a mar thinks, not what he
says, tells what he is.
Tens of millions In this country
thought what Governor Rolph said.
although their second thought may
have modified their first, which was
THANK God those kidnapers are
dead"
Governor Rolph said what he
should not have said. occupying
high Office, but he said what at
least 98 per cent of those that vot-
ed for him thought when they first
heard of the lynching.

the Garden of Eden. That did not

Eve did not choose each other.
No honeymoon or marriage tex

out well, for 1t always indicates
doubt in one or both and that is
enough to spoil the experiment at

wave, Is dead.
B~ootlegging and crime, unfor-
tunately, are not dead, and there is
no certainty that crimes annual
cost to this country of thirteen
thousand million dollars will not
go on.
All depends ON good judgment in
liquor taxation, and on police, judi
cial and general official integrity
and energy.
If liquors are taxed too highly,
Europe and Canada. sending In
whisky free of home taxation, will
offer to crime all the bootleg profit

been wisely said that If you hamper

there will be indecent drinking In

It is not yet realized that flying
Is inexpensive. While saving pre-
cious time, 1t costs no more for gas
or oil than automobiring. Ben
Smith of New York, after having
made a few more millions In Wall
Street, wisely selects gold mines
for his business. He selects the
right kind of gold mine, not the
kind offered you by mail as "the op-
portunity of your life" q
Mr.. Smith. stopping here on his
way via San Francisco and Seattle
to British Columbia, where he has
a nice mine, urged:
"Come on you will be up there
In nine hours, and | will show you,
on the Fraser river, absolutely the
most beautiful country In the world"
Mr.. Smith declares that flying
costs him less than travel by auto
mobile, which costs less than travel
by rail.
England, at last, is fully awake
to the Importance of air fighting.
When will this country wake up?

The British warn Germany against
repeating the mistake made when
Germany started building surface
ships In competition with England.
The kaiser and his great admiral
decided to upset that Britannia

there was no kaiser, and the Ger
mar "grand feet" was lying on the
bottom of Scapa Flow.
Now England warns Germany,
Don't try to do In the air, against
US, what you tried to do on the
water, with your feeble kaiser and
your able Won Tirpitz."
And England means it and acts as
the thorough British do when they
mean anything. France has an air
fleet of more than four thousand
ships. England demands a fighting
