The inception of the differences now existing in an acute degree between the President and Mr. Harriman dates from the time when the chief executive announced his determination to dig the isthmian canal. The rebating cases, as well as the prosecutions in the restraint-of-trade and merger suits, although part and parcel of the true party doctrine, came along in due course of time; but at an hour when the president and the railroad magnate regarded one another with a bitterness of political hostility which has not been paralleled in the recent history of this government. Recently there have been jarring upon our ears rumors of the possibility of an armed conflict between the United States and a foreign power or a combination of allied powers. Even Mr. Hobson, in his weird flights of fancy, depicting as he does the possibility of defeat that endorsement if it comes in him a continuation President's policy in regard to isthmian water-way. He throw the states against could. It will do so if it 2d. Be ye democrat or ree Mr. Voter, which side are The president's side, with and perpetual security for eign attack; the canal with all that it means for C and the coast; or are you Harriman side, with wo the canal ceased, with th already expended throw with Mr. Hobson's dolor ringing in your ears of dusk a foreign war, and with road shackels still more bound about you? Which side are you on, RUN OUT THE HOBO Burglaries are becoming monly numerous in town having been reported w past fortnight.

Recently there have been jarring upon our ears rumors of the possibility of an armed conflict between the United States and a foreign power or a combination of allied powers. Even Mr. Hobson, in his weird flights of fancy, depicting as he does the possibility of defeat for the United States by Japan, places the limit of such danger at seven years. Why? Because the Panama canal will have been constructed, in all human probability, in that time, and the effectiveness, as well as strength of our navy will be doubled thereby. The canal will be constructed for peaceful maritime commerce, but in case of war will instantly become a most important factor in our national defense. No foreign foe can approach it from its eastern terminus, except at risk of destruction by our war vessels. A foreign squadron in the Caribbean sea or the Gulf of Mexico would, like Cervera's, fall an easy prey to our ships. The approaches to the canal from the east can be made well-nigh impregnable. If the canal were to be used only in time of war, perhaps Mr. Harriman might welcome its construction, and join the American people in their supreme desire for its hasty completion. His property interests are large, and he no more desires to see the defeat of his country than we should, through motives of patriotism as well as for consideration of his colossal investments. But the canal as an adjunct to the traffic of the maritime world—that is quite another thing to him. It comes into instant competition with his railroads: has done so already in the abrogation of the monopoly of run with tramps, and little effort seems to be made them under arrest or run to town. At Fullerton, we formed, the officers go to way depot and packing each evening at dusk and the hoboes out of town walk hither, where they find a haven of rest and saction.

THE CHRONICLE A GRAFT In these days of graft and down the bank" of big news is worth while to turn the life the San Francisco Chronicle has been caught in the duo boodle prosecution. Here is of the evidence given before Francisco grand jury, showing Mike de Young accepted $10,000, the Home telephone company in its efforts to procure a loan from the boodle board of sup. It being first brought out Chronicle was paid $10,000 Home telephone company, in dle transaction, the testimony Gerstte was in part as follows: "Q.-Did they give editorial work (the $10,000). "A.-No. They were supposed, matters came up before the board visors, to write it up favorably—the talk about the advantage of a comp phone system in the way of keep monopoly and doing away with the tem of the Pacific States. "Q.-Publish the substance of what or everything else you wanted to in a favorable light? "A.-Yes, sir." The San Francisco Call cuses the Chronicle of this deal. The Chronicle prints to excuse of its act: "The publication of our contempt strained attempt to put a false co upon a business transaction which try than we should, through motives of patriotism as well as for consideration of his colossal investments. But the canal as an adjunct to the traffic of the maritime world—that is quite another thing to him. It comes into instant competition with his railroads: has done so already in the abrogation of the monopoly of isthmian traffic formerly enjoyed by the Pacific Mail. It will rise as the spectre at the feast of all railroad combinations, mergers and rebates. It will sound the death knell of railroad monopoly and aggression. It is at once the salvation of the American people in time of peace, and the keystone of its national defense in time of foreign conflict. We do not hesitate to say, that Mr. Harriman would cease operations upon the canal today if he could, throwing to the winds the hundreds of millions of dollars already expended there. The national defense is as nothing compared to the dollars in his pocket, and in the pockets of his railroad stockholders. Which side are you on, Mr. Voter, in this campaign? The republican state central committee, dominated as it is by Mr. Harriman and his paid creatures, have set California's endorsement of Taft over until May 2d. This precious band of political free-booters would crush HORSEMENT if it could. It him a continuation of the it's policy in regard to the water-way. It would the states against him if it It will do so if it can May democrat or republican, or, which side are you on? President's side, with the canal petual security from forack; the canal in peace, what it means for California coast; or are you on Mr. on side, with work upon ceased, with the money expended thrown away, Hobson's dolorous song in your ears of disasters in war, and with the railickels still more strongly about you? side are you on, Mr.Voter?

Ball of Santa Ana seems to have little difficulty in keeping his hands on something good, as witness the recent raise in his salary as county physician from $1200 to $1350 per annum. Dr. Ball seems to have worked the supervisors to a ty-T, as he threatened to resign unless more dinero was immediately forthcoming. The excess amount of mazuma was promptly produced. This gentleman now holds the best office in the gift of the supervisors, being in receipt of a substantial salary, and with very little work to do. This is as it should be, for the doctor is entitled to consideration for his long and distinguished party services. Dr. Ball was not so many years ago a democrat from away back. Then he got his wires crossed on the financial issue, and flopped to the dominant party, and is now identified with the reformers. He was sent as a delegate to the republican state convention as a Gage man in 1903, and being a bronco bolted the nomination of Congressman (now Secretary of the Navy) Metcalf for presiding officer of the convention, supporting Jake Neff, the candidate of the anti-Gage forces. The loss of the control of the convention by Gage cost him the nomination for governor. Dr. Ball connued to bring about this result. and being a bronco bolted the nomination of Congressman (now Secretary of the Navy) Metcalf for presiding officer of the convention, supporting Jake Neff, the candidate of the anti-Gage forces. The loss of the control of the convention by Gage cost him the nomination for governor. Dr. Ball conspired to bring about this result, and so did Dr. R. A. Cushman, then chairman of the county central committee. Both these gentlemen threw their pledges to the wind, forgetting their obligations made on their word of honor, and proved themselves to be political tricksters. Dr. Cushman blew into the county about that time from the squash belt back east, and immediately began looking for a political job. Being a new man, his party picked him up, as they have many another hot-air artist, and made him chairman of the county committee. His ludicrous management of the campaign made him the laughing stock throughout the county; but when the smoke of battle cleared away he was found ensconced in a fat berth in an up-state insane asylum. Both these gentlemen have been rewarded for their honorable fealty to the party in power. We are glad Dr. Ball’s salary has been increased; and suggest the overburdened taxpayers might not refuse to stand a still further drain for him before the weather gets cold again. THREE WISE JUDGES The three gentlemen who acted as judges of Friday evening’s debate between Poly and Anaheim high are entitled to a medal for the wisdom characterizing their decision. One of the judges, to whom all honor is due, returned points as follows: Anaheim 664. THREE WISE JUDGES The three gentlemen who acted as judges of Friday evening's debate between Poly and Anaheim high are entitled to a medal for the wisdom characterizing their decision. One of the judges, to whom all honor is due, returned points as follows: Anaheim 66½, Poly 33¼. This decision, according to an absurd rule prevailing in these high school debates, was thrown out. The other two eminent judges, whose verdicts were slightly in favor of Poly, thus gave the honor to that school, when as a matter of fact the local debaters were incomparably superior to their opponents in every way—in their delivery, in their diction and in their essay. It was an unfortunate outcome of what was undoubtedly one of the best debates ever heard in this city. But while the local students were defeated, they are not discouraged nor disheartened, and they will go resolutely forward to the next encounter in the field of debate. Better luck next time! Recent decisions of the Supreme Court should demonstrate to organized labor that its real friends are not the men who are willing to pass any law the unions ask for, but those legislators who tell the unions frankly what is and what is not constitutional and who refuse to enact laws which will not stand the test of the courts. Asher & Falkenstein's White Sale commences Saturday, February 15th The quiet humor which revered Senators extracts legislative business is occasional source of considerable interest among those who know the inside of Senator Heyburn takes seriously and fondly imagines Revision of the Penal Code which he is in charge, with law this session. There is time when Mr. Heyburn once more that in the things are not what they are. Secretary Garfield, in a report, recommends that the ment retain title to the coal lands in the West and which are still within the main, and that their development permitted under leases practice in Australia, in Western States, and in where the coal lands are private individuals. The part of the great general conservation of sources of forest, mine, and water power that Roosevelt is endeavoring along systematic lines. Mr. Roosevelt or his imminent processor can force the legislation from an unwelcome presence, there is every promise the serious blunder of the monopolization of coal fields will be committed. W. M.

He ordered the premises fumigated by means of enveloping the house with a tent and applying fumigation while it was thus covered. He states there is now but a single smallpox case in town, that of the Mexican Bustamente, living at the corner of Elm and Clementina streets. The reported case of smallpox near the gas works turns out to be another form of sickness. The patient Bustamente is recovering and will probably soon be well again.
