THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) INDEPENDENCE DAY America’s celebration of her natal day brings the usual Fourth of July noise-makers and sporting events. Occa- sionally it brings a meeting at which the more serious as- pects of the day are considered, and these public meetings usually are to be found in the smaller towns and rural com- munities of the country. Too many thousands in cities throughout the country think of the Fourth of July as a holiday with fire-crackers and accidents. The Fourth of July is Uncle Sam’s birthday anniversary of our political independence. It came because the colonists wanted real freedom and were willing to sacrifice their lives for it. They builded a great nation. It has endured and is today the most powerful on the earth. A once feeble Re- public has set an example for the rest of the world. Indi- vidual expression of religious and political beliefs, taxation unly with proper representation, control of the country’s destinies from within—these were fought for by the colon- ists and they won them. As a thought on a day of celebration, every citizen ought to consider the source of the Republic and the fundamentals guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence and the Con- stitution. A study of the history of the nation will make a better citizen of every one. » 7.20 - 5.00 + 6.00 The latest information available is that the Independent candidates for attorney general, commissioner of agriculture and labor, state auditor, jority of both houses of the legisla- ture have been nominated. The leg- islature however, is very close, and at this time it appears there will not be any great change from the line- up of two years ago, unless the Nov- ember election decides otherwise. The chief loss independents have suffered is in the nomination for governor, as Mr. Sorlie nonpartisan candidate, has a ‘© majority of about 3,000 over Governor Nestos. Governor Nestos was the victim of several campaign handicaps, among them the individual candidacy of I, J. Moe, who made a very effective appeal for economy in showing a large number of employees in all de- partments of the state government on the monthly payroll. This at- tracted attention and was intended, and no doubt did take votes from Governor Nestos. The Independent forces were not entirely favored by the democrats of the state, in this primary contest, as they have been heretofore. The contest in the democratic ranks in which two candidates contended for the nomination of governor, took votes from the Independent column, us opposing the League candidate. A general resentment by the farm- ers and businessmen of the state on the failure of the national republi- can administration to enact certain farm legislation, especially the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill, had its undoubt- ed effect in the vote against Gov- ernor Nestos, who was held to rep- resent the agencies that caused the dissatisfaction. Mr. Nestos himself no doubt contributed to the loss of votes by failing to measi\2 up to the altitude which many of his former supporters expected of him, as gov- ernor, during two administrations and during two legislative assem- secretary of state and possibly a ma- {| in spite of celluloid collars going out.

The saving feature is TIMELY WARNING REPEATED The campaign for a safe and sane Fourth of July has achieved much suce ince it was inaugurated several years so. Almost each year there has been a decrease in fatali- ties and serious injuries due to Fourth of July celebrations. But each year there is a long list of victims. Usually, of course, they are children. Often the injury is to the eyes. iounded enthusiasm than to permit an accident which im- pairs the eye-sight. The National Committee for the Pre- vention of Blindness records that 224 children have suffered impaired eyesight since the last Fourth of July through acci- A safe and sane Fourth does not necessarily mean a dull cclebration. It means that caution should be exercised at f'l times in the use of fireworks, and adult supervision of (fforts of children will do much to decrease accidents. THE DANGERS OF HOT-HEADS A young Japanese has committed suicide as a protest pgainst the American exclusion act. A body of Tokio students has “demonstrated” by breaking up an American cance. i A boycott against American importations, largely against geods listed as luxuries, is in progress. Such acts are the acts of hot-heads. The Japanese gov- ernment; thus far, has kept cool with Coolidge. But, it is _possible for the acts of hot-heads to bring on war, no matter how cool officialdom remains, and America has hot-heads of her own. Should the continued acts of hot-heads of Japan arouse anything like the anti-Jap sentiment prevailing in our Pacific coast states 10 years ago, there’s no telling where the matter would end. Unfortunately, but undisputably, there are vicious ele- ments on the Pacific coast that would take devilish pleasure in acts that might provoke war, at any time. Such elements are chronically opposed to peace, work and contentment and thev should be kept under surveillance. -. The great mass of coast people will keep cool with Cool- jdge on the Jap matter but there are a comparative few who ere reckless enough to start anything. ITALY Italy is one country in Europe that’s getting back to nor- mal steadily. Her imports have been exceeding exports by *yound 360 million lire a month. But a year ago the excess was nearly twice as big. This recovery is good for Italy. But it’s a loss for Amer- iea and other countries that have been collectively selling to that, as a country gets back to normal, it buys more as well ss sells more. The healthiest state is for every country’s exports to balance its imports after paying interest on money borrowed abroad. WORDS The new Oxford dictionary, 40 years in the making, de- -ifiaes 425,000 different words. It’s estimated that the average person in his daily con- “yersation uses only several hundred of these words. People often are advised to “look up” every strange word) If they did, they'd go to the dictionary some 400,000°and more times. They wouldn’t hey encounter in their reading.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Mexico is different from place we have ever been,” said John- ny Jump Up to the Twins, as they flew along on Tommy Titmouse’s back. “Down there is a mahogany for- est,” said Johnny. “See how very large the trees are. Some are so big that twenty men holding hands can \hardly reach around them.” “We don’t have mahogany trees in America, do we?” asked Nick. 0,” said Johnny Jump Up,” at least not in the part of America that we live in. “Mahogany wood is so fine,” said the fairy, “that it is very expensive. It is used to make furniture, and only the finest furniture at that. If you have any tables or chairs in your house that are sort of a dark red color, no doubt it is mahogany.” Tommy Titmouse flew on with the three little adventurers. “Look down there at those tall trees, said Johnny Jump Up sud- denly. “Fly down a little closer, Tommy! Now can you see?” “That's the way bananas grow.” said the fairy. “Only they aren't really upside down at all. When you see them in the stores they are up- side down—the bunches are.” “And now we are coming to an- other forest with still more queer trees,” said Johnny Jump Up. “I wonder if you can guess their name? It is only the sap of the tree that any ticularly after they had been play- ing in the streets and back yards. This was always more than a lit- tle annoying to Mrs. Jones, who tried to teach them to keep their noses clean. And like most mothers there was one thing she could not tolerate: that was the picking of the nose with their fingers. Alas this is not confined to children and, besides be- ing a practice disgusting to most people, is most unsanitary. 700 MILES By Jack Jungmeyer NEA Service Writer Los Angeles, July 3.—The last of the barbarous races of North Am- erica have been shot by the motion picture camera. They are the Seris Indians, a mysterious ethnological fragment clinging in thinning num- bers to the rocky islartd of Tiburon in the Gulf of California. Although Tiburon is less than 700 jones from Los Angeles and Holly- wood, observers from these illustri- ous cities declare its denizens are. thousands of years below the social level of the latter communities. The origin of the Seris is obscure. They are believed to be older than the Aztecs. The tribe has been re- duced to hundreds. This handful of natives, nevertheless, are feared by the warlike Yaqui Indians. Mexi- cans, under whose nominal rule they live, never visit them unless heavily armed. The motion picture expedition was nt by Paramount, and after con- siderable hardships brought back the first film record from the island. Heading the party was Jesse L. Lasky, vice president of the com- pany, who relates the following en- counters with Indians. EVERETT TRUE Har!

Their faces were decorated in designs of white bird lime. “They returned to the shore on our promise to land the next day with plenty of gifts. All night the beach echoed with their tom toms, and they could be seen dancing about fires. “Tales of cruelty credited to the Seris have too much foundation to be disregarded. “They were, until recently, be- lieved to be cannibals. They have no agriculture, depending on fish and turtles for food. They eat the flesh uncooked. They are unspeak- ably filthy and perhaps the lowest type of humans on’ the globe. “We carried'‘ashore many gifts. While they lasted the Seris were very friendly.

The general attitude was that business was a battle of wits, cunning against eee: and that profit could only be made at someone else’e loss. J Traveling salesmen in those days were concerned only with getting a buyer’s name on the dotted line. Once they eh his signature, he had to accept the shipment or get sued. Wii 9 That time is gone. For it’s now realized that a dissatisfied customer doesn’t come back a second time. Business used to exist mainly for the first order. Now it’s out for repeat or- \ ders—to build up a lasting patronage. And its policy accord- ingly is based on giving full satisfaction. Concerns fre- quently accept a loss rather than displace a customer. The Chesapeake & Ohio sends this slogan to its ray employes: “The customer is always right.” The idea i that a railroad sells service and that the buyer of service is entitled to the same courteous and satisfactory treatment that he would get in a store. That’s correct. The customer, of course, is NOT always right—not by long shot. But the general attitude, that he is always right assures him of a square deal in cases where he is right and the seller wrong. The hardest job in the world is handling the public — selling goods or service. The average person is never quite as unreasonable as when he is spending his money, partic- ularly for necessities. The industries that sell him his amusement have him pretty well cowed. The way a courteous and obliging clerk is imposed on and bayked at by some customers is enough to make the. blood of any fair-minded person boil. These human beings who sell us store goods, railroad tickets and the like—let us keep in mind that they are hu man, not*just business automatons, and that the sharp anil unreasonable word stings them as much as it would us. The campaign for courtesy in handling the public is fine enough. But it’s about time we had some campaigns for courtesy by the public in its dealings with clerks and other agents of business. Most modern business transactions are mutually profitable. Both sides should be fair and kind. ancient Hope you can come early next week for your visit, dear Bee. Les- lie called me up yesterday to tell me that she was going to celebrate her wedding anniversary the last of next week, and wanted me to add my plea to her’s that you would surely be here for that interesting occasion. Just why any one should want to celebrate a wedding anniversary is something I cannot fathom. Any anniversary is bad enough, but a wedding anniversary is the worst of the bunch. I'd rather have a birth- y party, and Lord knows my birth- days have been shoved into the dis- card for quite a few years now. You would laugh, Bee, if you could see his Reyes!

From his actions you would think that he felt he had done some terrible thing in inviting me out to dinner a few times while his wife was away. Since her réturn he has gone away glumly every day to eat his luncheon alone, and every time he has passed me and said: “I'm go- ing to luncheon, Mrs. Atherton,” he's given me a queer little look out of the tail of his eye as though he were speculating as to. whether I had expected him to ask me to lunch and was disappointed because he didn’t do it. I get enough of him during the day when he is in this captious mood ithout having to entertain him dur- ing the luncheon hour, I went up to’ the house the other night to call on Leslie, and there seemed some sort7of constraint in presents we got under way, having already shot several thousand feet of film. 4 “Angered natives pursued quickly outdistanced canoes. “On the way from Tiburon Quaymas, we, suffered for lack of fresh water.
