Editorial Note and Comment What a mass of misinformation is being printed in some of the papers laying claim to be politically wise, about things now, and for some time past, engaging the attention of those in politics! What a mass of misinformation we have set before us for our daily pabulum, to be sure! Steve Kelley’s scramble for John Lynch’s place as collector of internal revenue in San Francisco, has, as is well known, been the one spectacular thing in Federal politics during the year. Those who know aver that Stephen will not get the place—at least, not yet awhile. He has Senator Bard back of him, true; but Bard is not yet quite heavy enough to overturn things political in the State. Hardly. The fight has a local interest, in the fact that Kelley is well known in Orange county, as is Lynch also; the former being Postmaster of San Bernardino, and the latter having been a Cucamonga farmer prior to his entry into politics, since which time, it might be said, he has developed executive ability of such high order that he has come to be regarded as one of the big leaders in State politics. That he will permit Kelly to boost him out of his place without a fight, is to be doubted; in fact, the fight, as we say, has been one of the spectacular things in California politics during the year. While those who know a thing or two about it have no doubt as to the final outcome, yet the situation hasMIT to the delegation. The Collector of Internal Revenue has no specific term of office, but holds his commission during the pleasure of the President. I secured the appointment of Mr. Lynch as Collector of Internal Revenue at San Francisco during President McKinley’s first term. Certain it is there have been no charges against him, and he has made a most excellent official. He raised the standard of his office from 3½ per cent to first-class, and the Treasury officials are perfectly satisfied with his conduct of the office. Lynch was indorsed by the State Congressional committee, by Members of Congress, and by Mr. De Young. “Unless Senator Bard and those wishing the removal of Lynch can prove some charges against Lynch, I shall most certainly not favor his removal, should the President consult me in the matter, and I think he will do so. I agree with Mr. Roosevelt’s policy, that a man who is doing well in an office and fulfilling all his duties in a manner satisfactory to the Department, should be retained until the service can be improved by the appointment of a better man. “I shall see the President in a few days. I have taken no part in this fight, and consider it a purely local political one, that is best understood at San Francisco by the attitude of certain newspapers.” Kelley has been the representative at San Bernardino of James McFadden of Santa Ana, and has for years been the political henchman of that gentleman. He was at the flood-tide of his eminence during the A. P. A. movement, some six years ago, at which time that organization dominated politics in this county and Senatorial district. A report has been current for some time past that McFadden and Perkins have had a falling out over WEST HAS A FRIEND IN ROOSEVELT President Roosevelt has entranced himself in the affections of the World by his broad-minded references to objects of absorbing interest to the people of this section. No questions on internal affairs now before the nation possess such commanding importance as the reclamation of arid lands, construction of reservoirs by government aid and the conservation of fjords. Upon these and kindred projects the President speaks in his sage to Congress as follows: The Department of Agriculture ing the past fifteen years has steered broadened its work on economic life and has accomplished results of value in upbuilding domestic and eign trade. It has gone into new fixtures of our country and with two island groups that have lately come under our jurisdiction, whose people must look to agriculture as a livelihood. It is searching the world grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables specially fitted for introduction to localities in the several States and territories where they may add materials to our resources. By scientific attention to soil survey and possible crop, to breeding of new varieties plants, to experimental shipments animal industry and applied chemistry very practical aid has been given farming and stock-growing interests. The products of the farm have taken an unprecedented place in our extra trade during the year that has closed. Public opinion throughout the United States has moved steadily toward just appreciation of the value of his entry into politics, since which time, it might be said, he has developed executive ability of such high order that he has come to be regarded as one of the big leaders in State politics. That he will permit Kelly to boost him out of his place without a fight, is to be doubted; in fact, the fight, as we say, has been one of the spectacular things in California politics during the year. While those who know a thing or two about it have no doubt as to the final outcome, yet the situation has its humorous side, in the expression of a certain San Francisco daily, which maintains a political echo, published in Los Angeles; both of which have been tearing their hair, to the end that Kelly might displace Lynch, and thus give them a line on controlling the Gubernatorial nomination next year. As an incident of the fight, U. S. Grant, Jr., of San Diego, has entered the contest. Along with Senator Bard, he has called upon the President, tendering the advice that Lynch be dispossessed of his office, and that Kelly be boosted in. Here is where one of the humorous sides of the contest creeps in. To digress a moment: Grant has taken up the cudgels in behalf of Kelly, not because Lynch is inefficient or incapable, for he is not; but merely to attempt a feeble and impotent blow at the Governor. This scrap goes back to the last State campaign, when Grant was an aspirant for United States Senator, and asked, in his artless way, that Gage step aside as a barrier to the fulfillment of his ambition. Gage refused, and he was thereupon and thereafter subjected to a campaign of abuse, by the aid of anonymous circulars. The authorship of these scurrilous documents pointed unmistakably toward supporters of Grant. Gage was triumphantly elected. Grant was beaten. The two have not been friends. Now the latter, unwilling to let the past take care of itself, goes to Washington in a feeble effort to strike at the Governor. Bard and Grant have importuned Senator Perkins to take up the fight against Lynch; but that wise and far-seeing statesman, upon whose recommendation to President McKinley Lynch was appointed to his office four years ago, has declined to enter the conspiracy. The humorous part of the controversy appears in the two newspapers which have set themselves up to defeat, not only Gov. Gage, but Senator Perkins for re-election also. One day last week they published this side-splitting paragraph: Kelley has been the representative at San Bernardino of James McFadden of Santa Ana, and has for years been the political henchman of that gentleman. He was at the flood-tide of his eminence during the A. P. A. movement, some six years ago, at which time that organization dominated politics in this county and Senatorial district. A report has been current for some time past that McFadden and Perkins have had a falling out over Kelley's appointment. McFadden has been most active in his support of Kelley, but now that Perkins has declared for Lynch, the San Bernardino Postmaster seems to be out of it. Our friend of the Santa Ana Bulletin comes prancing up the pike with the following: THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE snarls at us because we declared that the Chinese Exclusion act was a Democratic measure, etc., and declares that it was a Republican measure all the way through. Please to point out the spot, Henry, where your "trooly loial" party ever advocated such a proposition in any National convention ever held in America. Please to point out when and where your party ever advocated as a party a Chinese exclusion law at any time. It's dead easy, you know. The Republican National platform of 1900 contains these words upon the question of "Labor": "In the further interest of American workers, we favor a more effective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lands," etc. The platform of four years before contained substantially the same language. There was no occasion to single out Chinese immigration, because an act excluding them had been passed by a Republican Congress. But now that that act is about to lapse by limitation, here is what the President says concerning this subject: With the sole exception of the farming interest, no one matter is of such vital moment to our whole people as the welfare of our wage-workers. If the farmer and the wageworker are well off, it is absolutely certain that all others will be well off, too. It is therefore a matter for hearty congratulation that, on the whole, wages are higher today in the United States than ever before in our history, and far higher than in any other country. The standard of living is also higher than ever before. Every effort of legislator and administrator should be bent to secure the permanency of this condition of things, and its improvement wherever possible. Not only must our labor be protected by the tariff, but it should also be protected so far as it is possible from the presence in this country of any laborers brought over by contract, or those who coming freely yet represent a standout specially fitted for introduction to localities in the several States and territories where they may add materials to our resources. By scientific attention to soil survey and possible crops, to breeding of new varieties plants, to experimental shipments animal industry and applied chemistry very practical aid has been given farming and stock-growing interest. The products of the farm have taken an unprecedented place in our export trade during the year that has closed. Public opinion throughout the United States has moved steadily toward just appreciation of the value of forests, whether planted or of nature growth. The great part played them in the creation and maintenance of the national wealth is now fully realized than ever before. Wise forest protection does not mute the withdrawal of forest resource whether of wood, water or grass, contributing their full share to the fate of the people, but, on the contrary gives the assurance of larger and more certain supplies. The fundamental of forestry is the perpetuation of for use. Forest protection is not end of itself; it is a means to increase and sustain the resources of our country and the industries which depend upon them. The preservation of forests is an imperative business necessity. We have come to see clearly whatever destroys the forest, except make way for agriculture, threat our well-being. The practical usefulness of the national forest reserves to the minigrazing, irrigation, and other interests of the regions in which the reservoirs has led to a widespread demand for the West for their rejection and extension. The forests serve will inevitably be of still greater use in the future than in the past. Dittions should be made to them even practicable, and their useful should be increased by a thorough businesslike management. At present the protection of these est reserves rests with the General Office, the mapping and description of their timber with the United States Geological Survey, and preparation plans for their conscientious use with the Bureau of Forests which is also charged with the general advancement of practical forestry in United States. These various situations should be united in the Bureau of Forestry, to which they properly long. The present diffusion of responsibility is bad from every standpoint. It prevents the effective co-operation between the government and those who utilize the resources of these services without which the interests both must suffer. The scientific basis generally should be put under the partiment of Agriculture. The Public dentist should have by law the power transferring lands for use as forests serves to the Department of Agriculture. He already has such power as case of lands needed by the Deputies of War and the Navy. The wise administration of these reserves will be less helpful to interests which depend on water than those which depend on wood. Senator Perkins to take up the fight against Lynch; but that wise and far-seeing statesman, upon whose recommendation to President McKinley Lynch was appointed to his office four years ago, has declined to enter the conspiracy. The humorous part of the controversy appears in the two newspapers which have set themselves up to defeat, not only Gov. Gage, but Senator Perkins for re-election also. One day last week they published this side-splitting paragraph: Senator Bard and U.S. Grant of San Diego have called upon President Roosevelt, and urged the displacement of Collector Lynch. The President asked the California delegation to get together and recommend to him the name of some suitable person for the place, etc., ad lib. The common-sense view of the situation is that the President has asked of them nothing of the kind. In support of this view, is the following interview with Senator Perkins, printed some days ago: Senator Perkins was asked whether he would refer the matter of Lynch's retention to the California delegation, and how he stood with regard to the matter generally. He declared for Lynch, and said: "No charges have been made against Lynch, and the Department informs me that he is a very capable official, consequently I don't see that I have anything at this time to sub- The California Republican platforms have been outspoken in favor of Chinese exclusion, as you know very well, Dan'l. The California delegation in Congress is a unit in favor of exclusion, and a Republican House and Senate have gone on record in favor of the same law. Yet our friend Dan'l says the Republican party is in favor of Chinese immigration! Did you ever! A Los Angeles weekly publication which recently gave us a fine write-up, at so much per astonished natives with the following: For the past eight years Mayor Joe Helmsen has, with a steady hand, backed with a strong will and untiring and intelligent enterprise, steered Anaheim safely through turbulent times. Now, when that met the bewildered gaze of His Honor, there was trouble. "What the devil did you put such a nonsensical thing in the paper about me for?" quoth he, wrathily, of the befuddled correspondent, who Continued on Fourth Page. It prevents the effective cooperation between the government and the who utilize the resources of the serves, without which the interest both must suffer. The scientific burge generally should be put under the partiment of Agriculture. The President should have by law the power transferring lands for use as forests serves to the Department of Agriculture. He already has such power the case of lands needed by the Departments of War and the Navy. The wise administration of the reserves shall also be made preserves for the forest creatures. All of the resides should be better protected from many of them need special protections because of the great injury done live stock, above all by sheep. The crease in deer, elk and other animals in the Yellowstone Park shows may be expected when other mount forests are properly guarded. So these areas have been so denuded surface vegetation by overgrazing the ground-breeding birds, including grouse and quail, and many mammals including deer, have been exterminated or driven away. At the same time water-storing capacity of the supersized decrease or destroyed promoting floods in time of rain diminishing the flow of streams tween rains. In cases where natural conditions have been restored for a few years vegetation has again carpeted ground, birds and deer are coarse back, and hundreds of persons, lately from the immediate neighborhood, come each summer to enjoy privilige of camping. Some at least the forest reserves should afford HUNTINGTON BUYS FRANCHSE Acquires Motor Railway From Santa Ana to Orange, and Right of Way Thru Anaheim and Fullerton. The Huntington-Hellman syndicate has purchased the motor road of the Interurban Railway between Santa Ana and Orange. The road, which is now operated by steam, is to be turned into an electric line and extended to this city, Fullerton and Whittier, where the main line of the interurban system will be met. Huntington wishes matters in regard to the proposed lines hurried as fast as possible, and has sent a representative to Orange county to take charge of the newly acquired property. Bonds to the amount of $10,000,000 will be issued by the Pacific Electric Company. This floating indebtedness, which will be incurred at the expiration of the customary sixty days' notice, will pay five per cent interest annually. Semi-annual payments of interest will be made, and a first mortgage on the property now owned by the company will be given as security. The consideration of the sale is said to be $20,000. Officers of the Pacific Electric Company have been in Orange county taking an inventory of the property. The deal was consummated in Los Angeles, and the new company has already assumed control of affairs. I. E. Tolle will retain his position as manager of the road with rank of division superintendent. Death of Mrs. Sieland. Mrs. Carl Sieland died at her home in Bay City, Mich., or Wednesday, Dec. 4th, from the effects of an operation. She was in her twenty-sixth year. Mrs. Sieland was the daughter of Mrs. Henry Knapke, now a resident of Oxnard, and was a native of Anaheim. She leaves a husband and two little daughters, aged two and four years respectively, to mourn her un- The forest protection does not mean withdrawal of forest resources, but of wood, water or grass, from outlying their full share to the welfare of the people, but, on the contrary, the assurance of larger and more supplies. The fundamental idea is the perpetuation of forests. Forest protection is not itself; it is a means to increase the resources of our countryside which depend them. The preservation of our land is imperative business necessity. We have come to see clearly that ever destroys the forest, except to way for agriculture, threatens well-being.

It is also charged with the general enactment of practical forestry in United States. These various functions should be united in the Bureau of Forestry, to which they properly belong.

The storing of the floods in reservoirs at the headwaters of our rivers is but an enlargement of our present policy of river control, under which levees are built on the lower reaches of the same streams. The government should construct and maintain these reservoirs as it does other public works. Where their purpose is to regulate the flow of streams, the water should be turned freely into the channels in the dry season to take the same course under the same laws as the natural flow. The reclamation of the unsettled arid public lands presents a different problem. Here it is not enough to regulate the flow of streams. The object of the government is to dispose of the land to settlers who will build homes upon it. To accomplish this object water must be brought within their reach. The pioneer settlers on the arid public domain chose their homes along streams from which they could themselves divert the water to reclaim their holdings. Such opportunities are practically gone... There remain, however vast areas of public land which can be made available for homestead settlement, but only by reservoirs and main-line canals impracticable for private enterprise. These irrigation works should be built by the national government. The lands reclaimed by them should be reserved by the government for actual settlers, and the cost of construction should so far as possible be prepaid by the land reclaimed. The distribution of the water, the division of the streams among irrigators, should left to the settlers themselves in conformity with State laws and without interference with those laws or with vested rights. The policy of the national government should be aid irrigation in several States and Territories in such manner as will enable the people in local communities to help themselves, and as will stimulate needed reforms in the State laws and regulation irrigation. The reclamation and settlement of the arid lands will enrich every portion of our country, just as the settlement of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys brought prosperity to the Atlantic States. The increased demand for manufactured articles will stimulate industrial production, while wider home markets and the trade of Asia will consume the larger food supplies and effectively prevent western competition with eastern agriculture. Indeed, the products of irrigation will be consumed chiefly in upbuilding local centers of mining and other industries, which would otherwise not come into existence at all. Our people as a whole will profit for successful home-making is but another name for the upbuilding of the nation.

Mrs. Carl Sieland died at her home in Bay City, Mich., on Wednesday, Dec. 4th, from the effects of an operation. She was in her twenty-sixth year. Mrs. Sieland was the daughter of Mrs. Henry Knapke, now a resident of Oxnard, and was a native of Anaheim. She leaves a husband and two little daughters, aged two and four years respectively, to mourn her timely end. Mrs. Kuapke arrived from Oxnard on Friday and remained until Monday. Her daughter, Miss Louise Knapke, who has been a resident of this city, departed for Bay City to assist in the case of the two motherless children. Mr. Sieland is in the employ of the Oxnard Sugar Company, and has been engaged as superintendent of the factories at Chino, Oxnard, Rocky Ford and Bay City. He has been a resident of the latter city for a year and a half. He has conde lence of many friends hereabout in his sad bereavement. California Recognized. All the old members of the House of Representatives have been reappointed on the House Ways and Means Committee with the exception of Representative Underwood of Alabama, whose place Representative Metcalf California was appointed. Mr. Metcalf appointment upon this greatest of the house committees is a great personal triumph for him, as he is compi- tely a new member of Congress, having served but one term previous to this. It is unusual to give place upon this committee as the Pacific Coast representative in the important tariff question that is bound to come before the present Congress. Money to Loan.

A thin body makes thin The wise administration of the forest reserves will be not less helpful to the forests which depend on water than those which depend on wood and the water supply itself depends on the forest. In the arid region it is not land, which measures proportion. The western half of the United States would sustain a population larger than that of our whole country if the waters that now run to rivers were saved and used for irrigation. The forest and water problems perhaps the most vital internal issues of the United States. Maintain of the forest reserves should be made preserves for the wild creatures. All of the reserves need special protection because of the great injury done by stock, above all by sheep. The in-dee in deer, elk and other animals in Yellowstone Park shows what is expected when other mountain lions are properly guarded. Some areas have been so denuded of pine vegetation by overgrazing that ground-breeding birds, including owl and quail, and many mammals, hiding deer, have been exterminated given away. At the same time the over-storing capacity of the surface has decreased or destroyed, thus stopping floods in time of rain, and finishing the flow of streams below rains. Cases where natural conditions have been restored for a few years, station has again carpeted the land, birds and deer are coming, and hundreds of persons, especially from the immediate neighborhood, come each summer to enjoy the village of camping. Some at least of forest reserves should afford per- industrial production, while wider home markets and the trade of Asia will consume the larger food supplies and effectively prevent western competition with eastern agriculture. Indeed, the products of irrigation will be consumed chiefly in upbuilding local centers of mining and other industries, which would otherwise not come into existence at all. Our people as a whole will profit, for successful home-making is but another name for the upbuilding of the nation. The necessary foundation has already been laid for the inauguration of the policy just described. It would be unwise to begin by doing too much, for a great deal will doubtless be learned, both as to what can and what cannot be safely attempted, by the early efforts, which must of necessity be partly experimental in character. At the very beginning the government should make clear, beyond shadow of doubt, its intention to pursue this policy on lines of the broadest public interest. No reservoir or canal should ever be built to satisfy selfish personal or local interests, but only in accordance with the advice of trained experts, after long investigation has shown the locality where all the conditions combine to make the work most needed and fraught with the greatest usefulness to the community as a whole. There should be no extravagance, and the believers in the need of irrigation will most benefit their cause by seeing to it that it is free from the least taint of excessive or reckless expenditure of the public monies. Whatever the nation does for the extension of irrigation should harmonize with, and tend to improve, the condition of those now living on irrigated land. We are now at the starting point of this development. Over two hundred millions of private capital has already been expended in the construction of irrigation works, and many million acres of arid land reclaimed. A high degree of enterprise and ability has been shown in the work itself, but as much cannot be said in reference to the laws relating thereto. The security and value of the homes created depend largely on the stability of titles. Continued on Fourth page. Kick a dog and he bites you. He bites you and you kick him.

This is the way Scott's Emulsion puts the thin body on its feet. Now it can get along by itself. No need of medicine.
