Spring Sunshine It’s May and the sun is shining. The old, long, hard winter is now a thing of the past. The} grass everywhere is green. Out in the foothills | the fragrance of the wild Howers uh ita, upon e passing breeze. Life is worth while. ee the glorious sunshine that has changed the aspect of everything and brought hope and good cheer, not alone to the physical world but} to the mental outlook. Have you noticed the improvement in your- self in the past day or two? How you haye suddenly come alive as from a long, dull monot- onous season of hibernation. How glad you are to fare forth on a bright morning, how cheer- fully you greet your neighbor, how elastic your step, and how you catch yourself smiling at no one or nothing in particu —just feeling good and in good humor. At peace with the world and full of hope for the day's results whict you a pbout to produce. "y <f it sake a whole lot of difference when | the sun shines. Sunshine is the greatest gloom | chaser ever invented. It is so precious an art-| icle that you ought to store a lot of it in your | heart against a day when the sun does not shine, so that it may circulate through your system and ooze out in your daily contact with others that their day may also be brightened. after subscrip- 4 cg Fal Back Your Officers | There is nothing more idle and preposterously silly than the statement that has been made that the police department of this city has made a} pra of arresting and jailing of] workers from the field on vagrancy and other charges in ler to relieve them of the money they are sup- posed to have in their possession. A It may be accepted as fact that no oil work- er, or other perion, for that matter, has been arrested in this city without he has broken some law or ordinance and therefore should have been arrested. Oil workers who come to the city and conduct themselves properly are as safe from, molesta- tion as the delegates to the Methodist confer- ence. And be it said to the credit of the field men that ninety-nine per cent of them do con- duct themselves as proper citizens should. The other one per cent who load up with moon and start something are the only ones who come in contact with the police and suffer the conse- quences. These are the ones that make the noise, that “puy the groceries” and expect'to turn an order- ly city and civilized community into a wild west performance. The wide open town has passed. Expired by the will of the great majority of the people who uphold law and order and approve of extermi- nating evil and evil doers. The wicked and those in sympathy with wick- edness may as well make up their minds to settl;e down and be good or settle up and get out. There is going to be less and less room in the community for anyone who persists in vio- lating law or who does not conduct himself as a respectable and responsible citizen should. There is no Puritanism or excessive purity contemplated in the efforts of the local city ad, ministration. It means simply that the great moral majority is weary of the dictates of the underworld. Tt means that this majority de mands and will exert itself to the end that this community become a normal decent, avell con- ducted and moral one, Nothing more and noth- ing less. Tt means that the old loose ways of former days are gone forever. And in their place have come accountability on the part of the citizens who will assume the right to say what they want, and exy nd demand their city to be. No one is going to be hurt in his business or otherwise, so long as his business is legiti- mate and he himself follows the rules of good citizenship and observes the law. The fellow who declines to do these simple things will get the worst of it. It is the duty of every citizen to uphold in every way the city administration's sincere ef fort to remove the festering sores that haye an noyed the body politic for too long a time. Show your interest in your home city and your desire for cleanliness’ and wholesomeness, by your backing of your mayor and your police de partment. All in the News Our ambassador to the Court of St. James, Frank B. Kellogg has recently been analyzing the fraility of the newspaper. In Mr. Kellogg's | which hag been recently made—that it contained ness; fifteen per cent relating to sport, fifteen per cent to amusement; ten per cent to politics; ten per cent to police news, seven per cent to foreign news and four per cent to the arts. ures. You may say that the newspaper reflects a quite startling devotion to business and to sport. But on reflection Mr. Kellogg himself | would have to confess that this is an accurate reflection of our chief American interests, You may not say that the newspaper makes an ef- fort to push into prominece items of scandal. In brief, the American newspaper, giving the great- est amount of space to business and to sport, nevertheless covers the whole field of the news.

It is already seen to have created widespread consternation } and disheartenment. “Urgently needed is thinking and _ resolute jJeadership and patriotism,with breadth of view not to speak of courage in withstanding fool- ishness prevalent in presidential years.” } Should Be Paid The appointment of Mr. Harlan Fiske Stone } regarded throughout the country as excellent | and the president and the people are congrat-| ulated. But what about Mr. Stone? Once more there arises the question touch- ing the adequacy of pay of the republic’s major servants. Mr. Stone was “drafted” by his friend, the president. He might have refused for most ex- cellent reasons, but his sense of duty to the country haps, led him to accept the call of the nation’s chief. To accept that call M Stone turned down a tinguished law partnership. The government will} pay him $12,000, and this he will have to spend } to “maintain the dignity of his position.” What is true of the attorney general and other cabinet officers is true of our enyoys to foreign countries. A poor man does not dare accept these positions of importance and distinction, though he be othery eminently qualified to perform the duties of such high position. . This is not right. The government should pay an adequate salary for meritorious service. This is a great_nation, a rich nation; we are able to our public servants more than any other nation, unless we except England. Why should! even rich men be asked to sacrifice wealth and | opportunity to enable them to enter the service | of their country? If a capable man be wealthy | enough to dispense with the salary which should | be his due, that is all well enough, his own busi- ness; but the salary should be proportioned to| the dignity and value of the office, should be such as would tempt the best brains of the re- | public to honorable service. | As matters stand, cabinet officers and am- honor and dignity of the! government out of their own pockets. This is | not as it should be. It tends toward the erystal- ization of an official class that is not in har- | mony with the sprit or ideals of demoeracy.

Perhaps we must admit that this is ‘un- avoidable, but we should not be blind to the fa-| vorable situation. All indications point to the| nomination and election of Calvin Coolidge.

This investigation was made at the invitation of the Coffee trade of the United States to determine . by scientific research the truth about Coffee and « Coffee making. It was one of the most thorough in- vestigations ever made of any food product. The report covers many hundreds of pages, for every aspect of Coffee and Coffee making was studied. The result of this scientific research, as announced by Professor Samuel C. Prescott, Director of the Institute’s Department of Biology and Public Health, shows that Coffee is a wholesome, helpful, satisfying drink for the great majority of people. Professor Prescott has disproved old prejudices and supersti- tions, and given Coffee a clean bill of health. He says— “It may be stated that, after weighing the evidence, a dis- Passionate evaluation of the data so compre! ively sur- veyed has led to no alarming conclusions that Coffee is an injurious beverage for the great majority of adults, but, on the contrary, that the history of human experience, as well as the results of scientific experimentation, point to the fact that Coffee is a beverage which, properly prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and inspiration, augments mental and physical activity, and may be regarded as the servant rather than the destroyer of civilization.” This statement, coming from such an unquestioned scientific authority, confirms the judgment of the American people, who drank much more Coffee last year than ever before.
