Sunday school story: They were studying in the catechism about the wonderful greatness and power of God. "Can God do everything?" asked the teacher. It was generally admitted that he could. Then the teacher rather mischievously propounded a stickler perhaps as a test of faith. "Could God make two and two equal five?" he asked. The query rather startled the little girls in the class, and their faces took on a worried, puzzled expression. They had never thought of such a thing as that, and it looked as if their faith was wavering. The teacher waited with a rather amused smile on his face. Then up shot a little hand. "Well," asked the teacher, "what do you think about it?" "Yes, sir, he can," was the prompt and certain response. Now it was the teacher's turn to look surprised. "Well, how can God make two and two equal five?" "By adding one," was the triumphant answer, and the mischievous teacher couldn't dispute it.-Sioux City Journal. "The Smallpox Devil."

A few years ago the forum of Trajan was used as a depositing place for cats which were not wanted, but as it does not present the same facilities of retreat and hiding as the forum of Augustus street boys and others took every opportunity of stoning the unfortunate animals. Finally the authorities, after many complaints, refused to allow any more cats to be thrown there, and in order to get rid of those already living in the forum presented one to each sentry box on the walls of the city. They all, however, speedily disappeared from their new homes, some returning to the foot of Trajan's column, where they were either killed by the street boys or transferred to the forum of Augustus, while others, it was whispered, were sold by the sentries for a few centimes to enterprising young medical students in search of subjects for dissection — Rome Letter. To Prevent Iron Rust. Among the new and useful metallurgical processes of note the San Francisco Scientific Press speaks of one by which iron may be effectively protected from rust. In this a solution of ferrocyanide is mixed with a flaxseed varnish, to which has been added a small quantity of turpentine or benzol. The evaporation of the alcohol leaves the flaxseed varnish, which forms a coat and protects the cyanide of iron, the same being deposited upon the metal by the use of the ferrocyanide, the only preparation required by iron for such treatment being the removal of any rust that may have formed on it not admitting of the action of such a solution. Another process of interest to workers in metallurgy is that of substituting the use of manganese for German silver, the different metals and their proportions being as follows: Copper, 67.25 per cent; manganese, 18.50 per cent; zinc, 13 per cent; aluminium, 1.25 per cent, the color of this metal closely resembling German silver, being also fully as strong as the best quality of the latter and possessing superior adaptation for casting. TALKING about tree planting along our thoroughfares reminds one of the time when the city trustees, a number of years ago, ordered the chopping down of the finest row of blue gums then growing in town. Inasmuch as the action of the authorities was at the time prompted by what appeared to be, inspirations of jealousy on the part of at least one member of the board, their destruction was all the more to be deplored. The trees grew along one of the principal streets and were ordered chopped down ostensibly to make way for the laying of a cement sidewalk—which has not yet come to pass. The real object was at the time said to be the animosity felt by one of the Burgomeisters towards their owner. Whether the story be true or not matters little at this late date, for the interested parties have all, like the trees, passed on to their eternal reward. However, the trees were destroyed, and the absence of the shade caused many a vigorous comment upon the action of the authorities during the ensuing summer time. If their destruction was brought about by the ill will of one man, who seemed to have a long standing grudge against a neighbor, what must be said of the other members of the board who gave tacit acquiescence to the infamy? That was in the days of old fogyism, of the old lang syne. Thank the good Lord those times are town for a fine large hotel, and now that a spirit of awakening activity has seemed to possess us let the chamber of commerce ascertain whether an adequate structure cannot be erected. Certisly we cannot afford to turn from our door such parties as this surveyors outfit, and everybody knows that commercial travellers never think of stopping in Anaheim over night. We must have a hotel and that quickly. WILLIAM THOMAS of San Francisco, who was one of the sponsors of the infamous Works bill, has stepped down and out of the so-called Water and Forest Association. In a letter to his associates he makes the laughable recommendation that his successor shall be a younger, broader-shouldered and thicker-skinned man, to whom he tenders his sympathy in advance. He writes in his resignation that "If I hadn't felt like the hunter who caught the bear, I would have given up long ago in disgust." The disgust, he remarks, is occasioned by the fact that for hard work he has been abused and has been accused of working for his own private interest. On the latter point, Mr. Thomas speaks as follows: I present my resignation as vice-president and chairman of the executive committee because I am tired of doing hard work without any return therefor, except abuse. It seems impossible in this State, for any man to do work for the public without subjecting himself to the charge of working for his own private interests. So far as these charges have been applied to me, they have been and are absolutely MIGHTY ARM OF THE LAW DISSIPATING TRUSTS President's References to Manner in which Anti-Trust Legislation is Being Enforced. President Roosevelt in his speech at Milwaukee spoke upon trusts, giving an illustration of how the new legislation is being enforced with reference to these gigantic combinations of capital. What he said possesses peculiar interest to every American. In part he spoke as follows: "In its wisdom Congress enacted the very important law providing a department of commerce and labor, and further providing therein under the secretary of commerce and labor for a commissioner of corporations, charged with the duty of supervision of and of making intelligent investigation into the organization and conduct of corporations engaged in inter-state commerce. His powers to expose illegal or hurtful practices and to obtain all information needful for the purpose of further intelligent legislation seem adequate; and the publicity justifiable and proper for public purposes is satisfactorily guaranteed. The law was passed at the very end of the session of congress. Owing to the lateness of its passage congress was not able to provide proper equipment for the new department; and the first few months must necessarily be spent in the work of organization, and the first investigations must necessarily be of a tentative character. The satisfactory development of such a system requires time and great labor. Those who are trusted with the administration of the new law will assuredly administer it in a spirit of absolute fairness and justice and of entire fearlessness, with the firm purpose not to hurt any corporation doing a legitimate business—on the contrary to help it—and, on the the shade caused many a vigorous comment upon the action of the authorities during the ensuing summer time. If their destruction was brought about by the ill will of one man, who seemed to have a long standing grudge against a neighbor, what must be said of the other members of the board who gave tacit acquiescence to the infamy? That was in the days of old fogyism, of the old lang syne. Thank the good Lord those times are rapidly passing away. We are going to plant trees now, not cut them down. Let the new spirit of tree planting proceed, and let us cut down no tree—unless it be infested with scale pests. The chamber of commerce ought to bestir itself in the matter of the erection of a new hotel—it is the one thing which we now need badly. The departure of the Southern Pacific surveying force from Anaheim to Westminster, because of inadequate hotel accommodations is a case in point. These surveyors arrived last week; there were fifteen in the party including the wives of some of its members. The first thing they beheld upon alighting at the hotel was a big barroom in active operation, which must have shocked the sensibilities of the ladies if those of none other. They were charged at the rate of $10.00 a week for board and $10.00 monthly for rooming accommodations. These figures are not quite so steep as those obtaining in the Angelus hotel, but are quite steep enough for all practical purposes. However, Mr. Brown, who was in charge of the party, made no complaint about them, and the prices would have cheerfully been paid had the service been up even to the standard of a backwoods mining village. Perhaps the less said about this "service" the better. The party could not stand it and promptly changed their headquarters to Westminster. Our loss is Westminster's gain, and Anaheim dofs its hat to the Peatland town. We know how to run saloons here, but we can't run a hotel. A number of business men conferring about this matter the other day were outspoken in condemnation of the fact that no accommodations could be found for this party of men and women. Several offered to take stock in a corporation, having for its object the erection of a commodious two or three-story structure, to be used for hotel purposes. Every passage congress was not able to provide proper equipment for the new department; and the first few months must necessarily be spent in the work organization, and the first investigations must necessarily be of a tentative character. The satisfactory development of such a system requires time and great labor. Those who are trusted with the administration of the new law will assuredly administer it in a spirit of absolute fairness and justice and of entire fearlessness, with the firm purpose not to hurt any corporation doing a legitimate business—on the contrary to help it—and, on the other hand, not to spare any corporation which may be guilty of illegal practices, or the methods of which may make it a menace to the public welfare. "Some substantial good will be done in the immediate future; and as the department gets fairly to work under the law an ever larger vista for good work will be opened along the lines indicated. The enactment of this law is one of the most significant contributions which have been made in our time toward the proper solution of the problem of the relations to the people of the great corporations and corporate combinations. "But much though this is, it is only a part of what has been done in the effort to ascertain and correct improper trust or monopolistic practices. Some eighteen months ago the industrial commission, an able and non-partisan body, reported to congress the result of their investigation of trusts and in dustrial combinations. One of the most important of their conclusions was that discriminations in freight rates and facilities were granted favored shippers by the railroads and that these discriminations cleared tended toward the control of production and prices in many fields by business large combinations. This conclusion was justifiable when shown by the disclosures in the investigation of railroad methods pursued the fall and winter of 1901-1902. was then shown that certain truths had entered into unlawful agreements as to the transportation of food products from the West to the Atlantic seaboard, giving a few favor shippers rates much below the tax charges imposed upon the small dealers and the general public. Thus unjust practices had prevailed to say an extent and for so long a time that many of the smaller shippers had been driven out of business, until practice one buyer of grain on each rail system had been able by his illegal vantages to secure a monopoly on line with which his secret compact made; this monopoly enabling him to fix the price to both producer consumer. Many of the great pack house concerns were shown to be combination with each other and most of the great railway lines, which they enjoyed large secret conitions in rates and thus obtained a total monopoly of the fresh and our meat industry of the country. Tensions, though violative of the state had prevailed unchecked for so many years that they had become entrenched. A number of business men conferring about this matter the other day were outspoken in condemnation of the fact that no accommodations could be found for this party of men and women. Several offered to take stock in a corporation, having for its object the erection of a commodious two or three-story structure, to be used for hotel purposes. Every hotel in Southern California—The Potter at Santa Barbara, The Green at Pasadena, The Coronado and all those of Los Angeles and the other cities of the south, are coining money hand over fist, and it would appear certain that there is room in Anaheim for at least one good hotel. The St. George at Fullerton, The Rossmore at Santa Ana and a half dozen other hostelries that might be mentioned in Orange county are magnificent in comparison to what we offer, to our everlasting shame be it said. Let the chamber of commerce take this matter up, and let us see if adequate hotel accommodations cannot be provided. Twice in the history of the town have companies been formed to erect a large hotel here—once they got as far ahead as the extensive excavation out on Los Angeles street would indicate. Then the old fogys became frightened and nary a stick of timber ever saw the site of the project. Later $40,000 was put in the Hotel Del Campo which was built during the "boom," and which was conducted for a short while as an up-to-date and modern hostelry, then it's doors were closed and now for years it has been run as a cheap lodging house. I hear the old house is haunted nd that at midnight ghosts leap from rafter to rafter overhead. There are many excellent sites in work done will be published mailed at its expense. These reports will present to the Secretary of the Interior feasible irrigation projects upon which there can be expended the funds available under the Newlands bill. Let there be no jealousy is regard to the location in which the work shall be first done. Pick out the storage reservoir which will cost the least and irrigate the most land and urge that first, no matter where it is. Stand by each other as citizens of the State as a whole, and not as residents of any particular locality, and some of us will live to see the work of construction actually commenced. Well, Mr. Thomas, here is luck to you in your private life. The Water and Forest Association is dead beyond redemption, and that because it sought in the Works bill to subvert the interests of the common people. The association may be revamped and revivified, as you suggest but it will ever be the source of a noisome stench in the nostril. And Mr. Works and yourself were the parties who brought this about. Let it rip. Well, Santa Ana, you're dry, Here's looking at you. It may be Anaheim's turn next: Mainsall Not Satisfactory. WEYMOUTH, April 13.—Shamrock Third under mainsall made a start and run to the open sea this morning in squally northern breeze. Test showed set of mainsalls not satisfactory. She returned to anchorage after hour's run. Chinese Prince Promoted. PEKING, April 13.—Imperial edict issued promoting Prince Cheng head of Foreign Office, to Past Grand Secretary, succeeding Yueng Lu, who died Friday. The new Grand Secretary became internationally known when associated with Li Hung Chang as China's representative in the peace negotiations. "Under these circumstances it serious problem to determine the course to follow in vitalizing which had in part become obsolete incapable of enforcement what the attorney general did forcing it I shall speak later." The cision of the courts upon the law betrayed weaknesses and impreciesions, some of them so serious render abortive efforts to apply effective remedy for the existing case. "It is clear that corporations do for quasi public purposes, clothing that reason with the ultimate of the state to take private property against the will of the owner their corporate powers as capitals trust for the fairly impartialness of all the public. Favoritism use of such powers, unjustly enforced some and unjustly impoverisheders, discriminating in favor places and against others, is pervasive of plain principles of Such a practice unchecked law in many ways. Congress has acted a most important anti-revenue state commerce law. This prohibits under adequate penal giving and as well the demand receiving of such preferential provides the preventive remediation. The vigorous admirer system had been able by his illegal vantages to secure a monopoly on line with which his secret compact made; this monopoly enabling him fix the price to both producer consumer. Many of the great packhouse concerns were shown to be combination with each other and most of the great railway lines, which by they enjoyed large secret conditions in rates and thus obtained a political monopoly of the fresh and cuur meat industry of the country. The fusions, though violative of the state had prevailed unchecked for so many years that they had become entrenched in and interwoven with the common life of certain large distributing lories; although this was of course an expense of the vast body of law-abiding merchants, the general public particularly of unfavored localities." (Note: The text contains several paragraphs with varied content including historical events, legal issues, and personal stories.) FORM OF THE LAW ASSISTING TRUSTS References to Manner in Trust Legislation is being Enforced. Roosevelt in his speech atake upon trusts, giving an order how the new legislation forced with reference to the combinations of capital possesses peculiar inter-American. In part he says: "Dem Congress enacted the act law providing a department and labor, and providing therein under the commerce and labor for a variety of corporations, charged by supervision of and of intelligent investigation into action and conduct of corrupted in inter-state companies to expose illegal practices and to obtain all necessary for the purpose of intelligent legislation seem and the publicity justifiable for public purposes is satisfactory. The law was the very end of the session of Dwing to the lateness of its progress was not able to provide equipment for the new demand and the first few months hardly be spent in the work on it, and the first investiga-cessarily be of a tentative. The satisfactory develop-ment a system requires time labor. Those who are in touch with the administration of the will assuredly administer it in absolute fairness and justice tire fearlessness, with the note not to hurt any corpora-legitimate business—on duty to help it—and, on the same time the case against the Northern Securities Company was initiated. This was a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey with a capital of four hundred million dollars, the alleged purpose being to control the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Railroad of this law, and it will be enforced, will, it is hoped, afford a substantial remedy for certain trust evils which have attracted public attention and have created public unrest. "This law represents a noteworthy and important advance toward just and effective regulation of transportation. Moreover, the passage has been supplemented by the enactment of a law to expedite the hearing of actions of public moment under the anti-trust act, known as the Sherman law, and under the act to regulate commerce, at the request of the attorney general; and furthermore, additional funds have been appropriated to be expended under the direction of the attorney general in the enforcement of these laws. "All of this represents a great and substantial advance in legislation. But more important even than legislation is the administration of law, and I ask your attention for a moment to the way in which the law has been administered by the profound jurist and fearless public servant who now occupies the position of attorney general, Mr. Knox. The constitution enjoins upon the president that he shall take care that the laws be faithfully exercised and under this provision the attorney general formulated a policy which was in effect nothing but the rigid enforcement, by suits managed with consumate skill and ability, both of the antitrust law and of the imperfect provisions of the act to regulate commerce. The first step taken was the prosecution of fourteen suits against the principal railroads of the Middle West, restraining them by injunction from further violation of either of the laws in question. About the same time the case against the Northern Securities Company was initiated. This was a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey with a capital of four hundred million dollars, the alleged purpose being to control the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Railroad of this law, and it will be enforced, will, it is hoped, afford a substantial remedy for certain trust evils which have attracted public attention and have created public unrest.

The first step taken was the prosecution of fourteen suits against the principal railroads of the Middle West, restraining them by injunction from further violation of either of the laws in question." LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Serious Injury Harvey Hampson, an employee of the Fullerton Oil company in Soquel canyon, met with an accident on Saturday afternoon which may cause the loss of his right hand. He was engaged at perforating pipe when he sought to throw the belt from the pulley. By some mischance his hand was caught in the belting and fearfully crushed by the pulley. With great presence of mind he extended his left hand and shut off the steam, thus saving himself from far more serious injury. He called for assistance but it was a half hour before his cries were heard. Then men working in an adjoining rig went to his assistance and liberated him. He was brought to town and placed in the hospital, where his band was found to be lacerated in such manner that it may possibly have to be amputated. Hampson has been the victim of ill luck for a long time. In the fire which destroyed much of the Union company's property some months ago he lost his clothing and entire effects. He has several times sustained injury, at one time suffering a fracture of the skull. He was fireman of the ill-fated Walla Walla but resigned his position a few days before her last trip when she went to the bottom. He is spoken of in high terms by his associates and his recent injury has caused regret in the oil wells. Medical Association The Orange County Medical Association met at the office of Dr. Dryer in Santa Ana some evenings ago. There were present Dr. Johnston of this city, Dr. Freeman of Fullerton, and a number of other medicos from various parts of the county. The subject for the evening was introduced by Dr. Dryer, who read a paper entitled, "A Meddlesome Midwifery." This was followed by a discussion. Election of officers for the ensuing year resulted substantial good will be done immediate future; and as the deeds fairly to work under the larger vista for good work opened along the lines indicated enactment of this law most significant contribution have been made in our accord the proper solution of the relations to the people that corporations and corporate associations. Much though this is, it is only what has been done in the el-ertain and correct improper monopolistic practices. Some months ago the industrial union, an able and non-partisan report to congress the result investigation of trusts and combinations. One of the important of their conclusions was discriminations in freight facilities were granted favors by the railroads and these discriminations clearly toward the control of prices in many fields of by large combinations. That conclusion was justifiable why the disclosures in the investigation of railroad methods pursued in and winter of 1901-1902. It been shown that certain trunk had entered into unlawful agreements to the transportation of food from the West to the Atlanboard, giving a few favored rates much below the tariff imposed upon the smaller and the general public. These practices had prevailed to such extent and for so long a time that of the smaller shippers had been out of business, until practically buyer of grain on each railway had been able by his illegal address to secure a monopoly on the which his secret compact was this monopoly enabling him to raise the price to both producer and merer. Many of the great packing concerns were shown to be in connection with each other and with of the great railway lines, whereby enjoyed large secret concessions rates and thus obtained prac-monopoly of the fresh and cunned industry of the country. These issues, though violative of the statute, prevailed unchecked for so many that they had become entrenched trust law and of the imperfect provisions of the act to regulate commerce. The first step taken was the prosecution of fourteen suits against the principal railroads of the Middle West, restraining them by injunction from further violation of either of the laws in question. About the same time the case against the Northern Securities Company was initiated. This was a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey with a capital of four hundred million dollars, the alleged purpose being to control the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Railroad Companies, two parallel and competing lines extending across the northern tier of states from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean. Whatever its purpose its consummation would have resulted in the control of two great railway systems upon which the people of the Northwestern States were so largely dependent for their supplies and to get their products to market being practically merged into the New Jersey corporation. The proposition that these independent systems of railroads should be merged under a single control alarmed the people of the states concerned, lest they be subjected to what they deemed a monopoly of interstate transportation and suppression of competition. The governors of the states most deeply affected held a meeting to consider how to prevent the merger becoming effective and passed resolutions calling upon the national government to enforce the anti-trust laws against the alleged combination. When these resolutions were referred to the attorney general for consideration and advice, he reported that in his opinion the Northern Securities Company and its control of the railroads mentioned was a combination in restraint of trade and was attempting a monopoly in violation of the national anti-trust law. Thereupon a suit in equity, which is now pending, was begun by the government to test the validity of this transaction under the Sherman law. [This suit has since been decided in favor of the government.] "At nearly the same time the disclosures respecting the secret rebates enjoyed by the packing-house companies, coupled with the very high price of meats, led the attorney general to direct an investigation into the methods of the so-called beef trust. The result was that he filed bills for injunction against six of the principal packing-house companies, and restrained them from combining and agreeing upon prices at which they would sell their products in states other than those in which their meats were prepared for market. Writs of injunction were issued accordingly, and since then after full argument, the United States Circuit Court has made the injunction perpetual. The cotton interests of the South, including growers, buyers and shippers, made complaint that they were suffering great injury in their business from the methods of the Southern railroads in handling of transportation of cotton. That by dividing upon a fixed basis the cotton crop of the South all inducement to compete in rates for the transportation thereof was eliminated. Proceedings were instituted by the anti-trust law and of the imperfect provisions of the act to regulate commerce. The first step taken was the prosecution of fourteen suits against the principal railroads of the Middle West, restraining them by injunction from further violation of either of the laws in question. About the same time the case against the Northern Securities Company was initiated. This was a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey with a capital of four hundred million dollars, the alleged purpose being to control the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Railroad Companies, two parallel and competing lines extending across the northern tier of states from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean.

When these resolutions were referred to the attorney general for consideration and advice, he reported that in his opinion the Northern Securities Company and its control of the railroads mentioned was a combination in restraint of trade and was attempting a monopoly in violation of the national anti-trust law. Thereupon a suit in equity, which is now pending, was begun by the government to test the validity of this transaction under the Sherman law. [This suit has since been decided in favor of the government.] "At nearly the same time the disclosures respecting the secret rebates enjoyed by the packing-house companies, coupled with the very high price of meats, led the attorney general to direct an investigation into the methods of the so-called beef trust. The result was that he filed bills for injunction against six ofthe principal packing-house companies, and restrained them from combining and agreeing upon prices at which they would sell their products in states other than those in which their meats were prepared for market. Writs of injunction were issued accordingly, and since then after full argument,the United States Circuit Court has madethe injunction perpetual."

Many of the great packing concerns were shown to be in infection with each other and with of the great railway lines, wherethey enjoyed large secret concessions rates and thus obtained a pracmonopoly of the fresh and cunned industry of the country. These ties, though violative of the statute, arevailed unchecked for so many that they had become entrenched and interwoven with the commercial of certain large distributing localialthough this was of course at the course of the vast body of law-abiding inhants, the general public, and regularly of unfavored localities. Under these circumstances it was a problem to determine the wise case to follow in vitalizing a law which had in part become obsolete or reduced incapable of enforcement. Of it the attorney general did in ending it I shall speak later. The deton of the courts upon the law had rayed weaknesses and imperfectious, some of them so serious as to under abortive efforts to apply any effensive remedy for the existing evils. It is clear that corporations created quasi public purposes, clothed for at reason with the ultimate power the state to take private property insist the will of the owner, hold their corporate powers as capriers in just for the fairly impartial service all the public. Favoritism in the use of such powers, unjustly enriching some and unjustly impoverishing others, discriminating in favor of some places and against others, is palpably relative of plain principles of justice. Such a practice unchecked is hurtful to many ways. Congress having had its attention drawn to the matter ented a most important anti-rebate law which greatly strengthens the interstate commerce law. This new law prohibits under adequate penalties the living and as well the demanding or receiving of such preferences, and provides the preventive remedy of inunction.

The women of the Round Table of Placentia will incorporate and build a large hall, already over $1200 having been pledged, and there are a number of others who offer to donate liberally. It will be conveniently arranged for the club headquarters, and for other social events in that community. Home Telephone Co. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce has petitioned the board of supervisors to offer for sale an ordinance as requested by the Home Telephone Company for the operation of a telephone system in this county. Petitions for presentation to the board were also ordered circulated. SOFT CORE Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere. The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat. Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil. For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 499-415 Pearl Street, New York, 30c. and $1.00; all druggists.
