MACHINE WILL BE DOWNED From the northern part of the state come most reassuring advices of the fight made by clean republicans against the railroad machine. Tuesday next will tell the story, and if the railroad is not beaten we miss our guess. We have already seen how the machine, by dirty politics, have stolen the fourteen delegates from this county to the state convention. Little of this trickery is being attempted in the north, but Herrin occasionally bags a county to keep up with the procession. In the south—here in this favored land where we imagine centers the best and most pure of everything—is where the railroad's dirtiest work is being perpetrated. Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, three counties having forty votes in state convention, have been absolutely stolen by the infamous railroad machine. In San Diego, where the railroad won in the May primaries by a fraction of one per cent, clean like free men against the program.

Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, three counties having forty votes in state convention, have been absolutely stolen by the infamous railroad machine. In San Diego, where the railroad won in the May primaries by a fraction of one per cent, clean men are giving it battle, with every prospect of beating it at next Tuesday's primaries. From San Francisco come most reassuring reports of the progress of the fight, and claims are being made that Herrin will be swept off the boards in the primaries which have already practically engulfed him. The good fight for a free republican party and free California is being waged in nearly every assembly district in the state. From Humboldt to San Diego decent republicans are aroused as they have never been. The splendid successes won by the Lincoln-Roosevelt league in May in the communities protected by the primary election law demonstrated to the republicans of all the state that the corrupt Herrin machine cannot withstand honest organized opposition. The magnificent stand taken by the republicans of San Francisco, and their sweeping victory, served as a spur to republicans throughout the state. The Lincoln-Roosevelt league, instead of proving a flash in the political pan, has grown steadily until there is scarce a republican assembly district in the state that has not one or more clubs composed of decent republicans fighting for political freedom. The last state convention at Sacramento was a revelation to the republicans of interior California.

The last state convention at Sacramento was a revelation to the republicans of interior California. They saw San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles represented for the first time by genuine republicans, republicans who recognized no boss, who took orders from no man nor from any special interest. Republicans who had remained supine under the Herrin lash, saw the big cities of the state throw off the shameful yoke—saw one brief campaign result in a convention in which the Herrin machine was enabled to maintain a bare majority only through the disfranchisement of thousands of republicans and the most despicable political thievery. They saw men seated as delegates who made no attempt to conceal the fact that their alleged elections were fraudulent. They were edified by the announcement of Herrin's temporary chairman, who admitted the frauds, but declined to be "nasty·nice" about them. And, too, they saw more than 250 delegates chosen by the republicans of California, stand men against the Herrin They saw the convenence from the people. They people's minority within 20 a majority.

WHAT THE LEAGUE STANDS FOR In accordance with the announced intention of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league to give republican voters an opportunity to know what they are voting for at the August primaries, the Los Angeles county central committee of the league has adopted the following platform: The league of Lincoln-Roosevelt republican clubs of California hereby declares the following as its legislative platform for the ensuing term of the legislature: 1. The enactment of a direct primary election law whereby all elective officers shall be nominated by direct vote of the people, provided assembly constitutional amendment No. 3 shall be adopted at the general election in November, 1908. 2. A bill providing that the voters of California, acting within their respective parties, may cast an advisory vote for United States senator and that the candidate receiving the largest number of votes of his party shall be declared the party nominee for such office. 3. The enactment of such laws as will penalize any violation of the provision of Section 21, Article 12, of the constitution for bidding rebates and discriminations by transportation companies, but which sec- republicans of the north more than repeat the good May.

We have had hand and foot by the machine. How long are able going to endure this vassalage. is the day that every man longed to strike a solar low at boss rule and the machine in this state, has been hoping would come. We have been attempts now to rescue the state from Pacific domination and machine rule, but they can more or less spasmodic in organization. With an organization backed by visory vote for United States senator and that the candidate receiving the largest number of votes of his party shall be declared the party nominee for such office. 3. The enactment of such laws as will penalize any violation of the provision of Section 21, Article 12, of the constitution forbidding rebates and discriminations by transportation companies, but which section, for twenty-nine years, by the neglect of the legislature, has remained a dead letter and utterly inoperative. 4. A reciprocal demurrage bill, modeled after the Texas car law and substantially embodied in Assembly bill 225, which failed to pass the legislature of 1907, providing that railroads must pay shippers damages for failure to deliver cars to them for the transportation of goods within a reasonable time after such cars have been ordered. 5. The enactment of a law modelled after the Hepburn railroad rate law, which shall fully penalize and prevent the granting in any form of free transportation to any person except railroad commissioners and such persons as are excepted by said Hepburn law. 6. The enactment of a stringent anti-racetrack gambling law. Good Roads The office of Public Roads of the department of agriculture is to cooperate with the forest service in drawing up plans for comprehensive systems of roads and trails on national forests. For the last two years congress has provided funds for permanent improvements on national forests, and a large part of the money thus made available has been and is being used for road and trail building. The amount is too small, however, in comparison with the total area of the Forests, to make possible more than a very small beginning. With thicker settlement and increasing use of the forests, good roads will become more and more a crying necessity. The object of securing the help of the office of good roads is to make the work take the line that will not merely allow at boss rule and the machine in this state, has been hoping would come. We have been attempts now to rescue the state from Pacific domination and machine rule, but they can more or less spasmodic in organization. With an organization backed by all money, the railroad has gained its grip upon the government in state, county and city. The grip has cost the taxpayers an enormous sum: fines, which the railroad has paid and the people will to make good. Purchises and special privi-lege untold value, which the has obtained for nothing from subservient legislature officials. Corrupt government, which is wasteful of the money taxpayers as it has been inauched citizenship—perfect greatest cost of all, but cannot be measured in dollars. Is the people of California offered for a quarter of a cent not until now has there organized revolt through length and breadth of the long enough and strong so overthrow the entrench- The object of securing the help of the office of good roads is to make the work take the line that will not merely serve temporary convenience, but also count for most in the end. By building each year with reference to a carefully worked-out plan the danger of indirect effort will be escaped. During the present summer an engineer of the office of roads will go over the ground on several of the forests, and draw up plans which will be submitted to the forester, and will serve to guide subsequent work. Where the roads planned for cannot be built, trails will, so far as possible be made to follow the courses laid out, with the expectation that later they will be converted into roads. The roads, trails, telephone lines and fire lines already constructed on national forests are proving of great value both in the work of fire protection and in serving the convenience of the public. The further this work ban be carried the greater will be the usefulness of the forests to the surrounding regions.

Transplanting began on July, about two weeks later in preceding seasons. Long to the reduced acreage, the farms are able to put their land in better condition for transplantan usual. The crop is about one transplanted at this time. The which has been transplanted is growing excellently and the farmers getting much better stands than in years. Yeting has been prosecuted vigorously by the association members under supervision of W. E. Gerhart, Ramsey of Whittier furnishing instructions. Celery crop on Jersey Island has completely destroyed by floods in Joaquin valley and this fact affect the prices on the remainingonia crop. Harvesting at Smeltzer has be-ided the farmers believe that they will get a big yield as the beets have made an excellent growth. Lima beans are looking exceptionally well with every prospect of a big yield. Should lima beans prove as great a success as last year there will probably be a very large acreage set out next season. Celery, beans and beets make excellent crops with which to rotate in the peatlands and farming will probably be carried out on these lines during the next few years. It is not practical to grow beets after celery; beans how-ever seem to be an ideal crop. On the other hand beets follow beans with good yields. The Orange County Medical Association met with Dr. Beebe on Tuesday evening. The subject of the evening, "Gastritis of the Infant," was commented upon by Dr. Beebe of this city and Dr. Bruner of Santa Ana. The city board of equalization meets on Monday.
