WRETCHED POLITICS It is the wretchedest sort of politics to keep California out of the Taft column until May 5th. Of course, republican voters know full well why California has been tied hand and foot by Mr. Harriman. Politically, this great state is a mere toy in this gentleman's vest pocket. He controls our legislatures, our railroad commission, the state board of equalization, our governors, senators, congressmen, and state officials. He maintains a political machine of vast magnitude, which ramifies into every county of the state. Every little while we see some of his spittoon-cleaners upon the streets of Anaheim. This man is opposed to Taft, as he opposes Roosevelt, for reasons which we have already explained in these columns. He is opposed to the Panama canal; the people want the canal. He is opposed to railroad legislation, which strikes interests in a struggle to the It is the people, or the railway this country this year. Yet Taft knows, and so does president, that it is Mr. H. who is doing this thing, republicans of the state. Road is a mighty power in California, as it is in states. But there is a might is the will of an outraged seeing the light even as the ots saw it in the belfry of north church. May 5th is fateful day in the history of fornia. It will prove to the whether the people rule, or they still bend the servile the railroad wizard of Wal THE DIFFERENCE Gen. George Stone, chair of the republican state central committee, whose railroad collra large size, protests he's The difference between gentleman and the loyal cans of the state is this: The loyal republicans of are for Taft now; Gen. St his pals of the machine state central committee are Taft until May 5th. THE PRIMARY ELECTION The Lincoln-Roosevelt can league is gratified at while we see some of his spittoon-cleaners upon the streets of Anaheim. This man is opposed to Taft, as he opposes Roosevelt, for reasons which we have already explained in these columns. He is opposed to the Panama canal; the people want the canal. He is opposed to railroad legislation, which strikes at the root of the rebate evil, disrupts illegal mergers and other combinations in restraint of trade and against the interests of the people; the people want these laws—they want the railroads to obey the laws just as they themselves obey the laws. The colossal allied interests of the railroads, seeking out special privileges, enacting laws exempting them from just and equitable taxation, and wringing money from the people by the thousands of millions of dollars annually—their interests are one; the interests of the people are quite a different thing. President Roosevelt is enforcing the laws against these gigantic railroad interests, and compelling them to respect the law. He is digging the Panama canal, which will revolutionize railroad monopoly and emancipate the shipping interests of the country. For these reasons Harriman opposes him. Taft is Roosevelt’s choice as his successor in the White House. For this reason Harriman opposes Taft. The people of California should be, and are, on the side of the president in these matters. They are for Taft. Roosevelt has done and is doing more for the west, more for California and the entire Pacific coast, than any man who ever sat in the presidential chair. His policy of reclaiming the arid west, of con- The Lincoln-Roosevelt can league is gratified at the ponement till May 5th of formal primary to register choice of republicans for pro It will undoubtedly result ing out a larger vote at the primary, and the larger to the better it will suit the What the league wants is expression of the will of th at the primary.

An esteemed San Francisco temporary seems disposed tion the propriety of accept Mikado’s invitation that touch at one of his ports on Roosevelt has done and is doing more for the west, more for California and the entire Pacific coast, than any man who ever sat in the presidential chair. His policy of reclaiming the arid west, of constructing great impounding reservoirs to conserve the torrential streams of our mountain watersheds, of reforesting the Sierras to the end that increased rainfall may result—these three items in his governmental policy, together with the construction of the isthmian waterway, are fraught with more importance to the people of the west than any other question now before them. Shall this policy be continued, or shall the man who stands for them be defeated in the very house of his friends? So we say it is the most wretched kind of politics which keeps California out of the Taft column, where it belongs at this time. There is no question of a doubt as to the result of the primary May 5th; but many states will have instructed for Taft by that time, and the advantage of the accretion of the twenty votes from this state will not be so great as it would be at the present time when this man is grappled with these Titanic An esteemed San Francisco temporary seems disposed to tion the propriety of acceptance Mikado's invitation that touch at one of his ports on to the Philippines.

Really, these alarming papers at the bay had best reef in their sails. There is go be no war with Japan. Of this may rest assured, whether they goes to Japan or not. Unquestionably the New York who went before the author other day and requested that he be doubled must have seen a good things double that day. "Uncle Sam's armada is a says a contemporary," "and all that because its mission is friend nations." Quite true. Perhaps ever, the target practice re Magdalena bay showing how behave if we got angry is cont to that success. In a struggle to the death, people, or the railroads, in country this year. It knows, and so does the man that it is Mr. Harriman doing this thing, not the sons of the state. The rail-mighty power in politics California, as it is in other states, but there is a mightier. It all of an outraged people, the light even as the patriarch in the belfry of the old church.

THE DIFFERENCE George Stone, chairman of American state central commute railroad collar is ex- size, protests he's for Taft. Difference between this old state and the loyal republi- cation state is this: Real republicans of the state left now; Gen. Stone and members of the machine-ridden central committee are not for May 5th. PRIMARY ELECTION Lincoln-Roosevelt republi- cation is gratified at the post- ROADS IN CALIFORNIA Among the many other things that has been affected by the development of the motor car, is road building. Up to the time that the motor car became an acknowledged mode of conveyance, the system of building highways was carried on under rules that had not improved to any great extent for the last decade. They had reached a state which only necessitated a top dressing occasionally, to keep them in condition, that did not demand greater improvement or any radical change in construction. With the advent of the fast moving automobile, these roads were disintegrated and constantly showed the weakness of their construction, which raised the howl that the modern vehicle would soon destroy the roadbeds. This was one of the greatest points held up against the motor car, when it was coming into favor, but has now proven that what was at first thought an evil, is one of the best things for good roads that could have been invented. It showed that roads under the previous system of construction, although built at cheap first cost, were expensive in upkeep, and that now, when the science of road building has received an impetus from the modern vehicle, and developed as a science as quickly as the science of automobile construction has advanced that a properly constructed road with a little more to be considered at the first cost, is by far cheaper in the end. In speaking of this subject, Fred J. Linz, manager of Maxwell- PRIMARY ELECTION Lincoln-Roosevelt republican is gratified at the post-till May 5th of the in-primary to register the republicans for president.

Named San Francisco con-seems disposed to quies-priety of accepting the invitation that the fleet one of his ports on its way give in upkeep, and that now, when the science of road building has received an impetus from the modern vehicle, and developed as a science as quickly as the science of automobile construction has advanced that a properly constructed road with a little more to be considered at the first cost, is by far cheaper in the end. In speaking of this subject, Fred J. Linz, manager of Maxwell-Briscoe pacific company, stated lately, the automobile has proven that oil roads, where built to any great length and where constant care is not possible, that they are by far worse than the ordinary highway. Oil roads, for parks and places of such a nature that receive constant attention, are desirable, but on the great highways of the country, especially during the moist season, are soon worked into a deplorable condition. Linz has found this to be the condition prevailing where oil has been used in parts of the state he has just visited, and suggests that before the regular dry season of summer sets in, to save what work has already been done by oiling, that they should be surface-served with sand and gravel. This undoubtedly will be hard on travel for a short time, but it would be best in the end, as it would set the stones and gravel into the sticky mixture of oil and dirt that is softened by rain, which is far worse than adobe. An oil road kneaded up by travel during the wet season takes on a wavy, rutty surface at the best that is exceedingly hard on all kinds of vehicles. The experience of the last two years, since the automobile has become popular in California, demands that some action must be taken by all those interested in the state. That before another winter is at hand, a popular movement will have to be started where all the authorities of the state will come together and decide for the future of the rules that shall govern road building. The quicker that this is done, the better for all concerned.

The enthusiastic cordiality with which the Atlantic fleet has been entertained in South America and is being urged to visit Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other places constitutes a sad commentary on many American editors. Foreigners evidently understand the pacific character of the Pacific cruise, while some American editors, in their blindness of partisan animosity, could not or would not understand the cruise as anything but a menace to the peace of the world. The President, on being asked for advice by the District Attorney of the District of Columbia, recently, advised that official to urge a jail sentence for a bank president in Washington who has been convicted of violating the Pure Food and Drugs Act. This man, who is wealthy, the president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce and of the American National Bank, has been conducting as a side issue a proprietary medicine factory in which he manufactured a patent headache remedy which he guaranteed to contain no injurious drugs and a "brain food", accompanied by a similar guarantee. Analysis showed, however, that both remedies contained drugs of a most dangerous char- arter, liable to produce dread and seriously, perhaps affect the heart.

The "best" chick feeds are getting awfully common—as common as the "stuff" of which they are made. The only common thing about "West Coast" is the claims made by others that theirs are "just as good." Don't be persuaded to take other brands. "West Coast" is being kept up to its highest standard. It is a rightly balanced ration for the little ones, just what they need to keep them healthy and make them grow. Just let them try it and you will like it because they do. And they eat it all up clean because it has no cheap filler, and hence, though a little higher in price, is really the cheapest chick feed on the market. Try it and see. If not kept by your dealer, send to the makers. $3.50 per 109 pounds, freight prepaid by us. EST COAST MILL Los Angeles, Cal. able to produce drug habits viiously, perhaps fatally, to the heart.

Box 65 - Anaheim Taft now has 170 out of 218 delegates elected to the republican national convention and the efforts of certain prominent politicians to secure safe seats on the band wagon are more conspicuous than ever. A welcome first step toward strength- ening the American merchant marine and creating an adequate naval reserve to be drawn on in time of war, has been taken by the United States Senate in its passage of the bill amending and extending the postal subvention law of 1891. And the fact that this step was taken without precipitating a division on party lines in the Senate made it all the more welcome.
