SMITH SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE ABLE EXPOSITION OF PRINCIPLES OF REPUBLICAN PARTY Tariff Revision as It Appeals to Voters in Eighth Congressional District—Consideration of Roosevelt Policies—Taft is the Man Congressman Smith's speech at the opera-house on Saturday evening was in many respects the best campaign address delivered in the city in years. He handled the tariff in a logical and sensible manner, and his allusions to President Roosevelt and Judge Taft drew prolonged applause. In part he spoke as follows: We have again entered upon a consideration of national questions, and are soon to settle the policy of the nation for the next four years. Both measures and men are being scrutinized as never before. It almost seems at times as if the American people had lost faith in representative government, and were becoming insistent upon taking the affairs of government into their own hands directly. John Sharp Williams, the minority leader in the House, stated the case rather bluntly one day during the last session when he declared "On Monday we are respected citizens; on Tuesday we are elected to congress, and on Wednesday we are objects of suspicion." That not unfairly represents the state of the public mind. But if one be asked to look around among his neighbors and designate those whose judgment and unselfishness he would fully trust to settle public questions at the ballot box, it might be found an American producer.

I can clared "On Monday we are respected citizens; on Tuesday we are elected to congress, and on Wednesday we are objects of suspicion." That not unfairly represents the state of the public mind. But if one be asked to look around among his neighbors and designate those whose judgment and unselfishness he would fully trust to settle public questions at the ballot box, it might be found that lack of faith is not confined to those in public station. Nevertheless, there is an urgent demand for changes in our laws that will bring the selection of public agents nearer to the people, and I earnestly hope that the legislature will enact a suitable primary law at the next session. The reason why the people take such a personal interest in public matters, particularly national questions, is because national affairs have come to have very much to do with our every day business. Theories of government or matters involving abstract questions of right or wrong, occupy but little of our time. We are engaged principally in "talking business" in these campaigns. This is especially true this year when, it seems to me, two matters overshadow all others. These are, the revision of the tariff, and the business control inaugurated by President Roosevelt, known generally as the "Roosevelt policies." Some other questions may be incidentally affected by the outcome of the campaign, but these two great and far reaching business problems will receive a coloring which will remain for many years to come. Both parties have announced an intention to "revise the tariff." But while they employ the same term to express their intentions, the real purposes of the two parties are as far apart as the east is from the west. Here is the great fundamental difference between the two parties. From its birth in 1856, the Republican party has stood for keeping our work at home, giving to American working men, American farmers and American producers of all kinds the first opportunity to produce the things which our people want to consume; there has identical with those sources of other occupations in the country. We can nationists for ourselves anders for our neighbors. weak, the foolishly worn taken by Democrats They invariably vote for on the commodities of active districts but against protective duties. I cannot battle if I take that nasty case, and I would not position if I could. Every factory hand, mill man, farmer is entitled to be sold the grinding competition prices. But aside from that these people are owned and are entitled to fail it is of the very first importance that we keep the country strong and working man or a farmer can get along without easy or drinking lemonade.

Taft is a man of great unquestioned integrity and express their intentions, the real purposes of the two parties are as far apart as the east is from the west. Here is the great fundamental difference between the two parties. From its birth in 1856, the Republican party has stood for keeping our work at home, giving to American working men, American farmers and American producers of all kinds the first opportunity to produce the things which our people want to consume; there has not been a national Democratic platform written during those years which has not denounced that policy and demanded that our markets be opened to tradesmen and producers of the world. When Bryan was in Congress he stood shoulder to shoulder with Wilson whose name was given to the most disastrous piece of legislation which this country has known in a full half century. When ever he has given expression to his views, Bryan has invariably called for the free importation of foreign-made goods. I need not point out to you here in this orange and walnut growing district what this means. You know without my telling you that the handicap put upon the foreign growers of oranges by the Dingley Tariff Act has been of tremendous value to you. To get your fruit in the eastern markets, you must pay railroad freight of $23 per ton. The foreign product comes in by water at a lower rate, but before it can enter the market to compete with your product it must pay to our government $20 per ton for the privilege! Quite naturally the foreigner seeks a market for his fruit where he will not have to pay such an import charge and thus a double benefit results to the Amer- FATAL ACCIDENT AT FU Youth Killed by Coming With Transmission Lucien Laplier, aged 18, was killed at Fullerton shortly on Saturday by contact with a heavily charmed mission wire of the Edison His father, E.

Personregard the fight for the interof this district as "the fight of me" and I can only promise you that I shall do the very best for your interests. It is important, I think, that we can view the wider meaning of tariff question. The benefits we claim for our industries are real with those sought by men over occupations in other parts of country.

One of the elder man's legs caught on the live wire and was burned in two just above the ankle. As soon as the foot burned off he fell to the ground. The son's death from shock was instantaneous. Mr. Boone, who has charge of the substation, heard screams, ran out, and when he saw what had taken place, shut off the power. A coroner's jury was empaneled and took evidence in the case on Saturday evening. Being desirous of hearing more evidence, it adjourned to Monday, when a verdict was brought in, blaming the electric company for the accident. The funeral of the unfortunate man occurred on Sunday, interment being made in the Anaheim cemetery. SANTA ANA GIRL DISAPPEARS Leaves Bicycle and School Books Near Railway Station Mary Measor, a Santa Ana highschool girl, has been missing from her home for a fortnight past, and her distracted mother is of opinion she has been enticed to Los Angeles. In a final effort to learn the whereabouts of her missing daughter, Mrs. Measor visited the Los Angeles police and enlisted their aid. A thorough search of the city is accordingly being made by the police. The greatest mystery surrounds the girl's disappearance.

A thorough search of the city is accordingly being made by the police. The greatest mystery surrounds the girl's disappearance. There is no reason known which could have made her leave her home, where every comfort and luxury 'were afforded her, and where she numbered scores of friends. Early on the morning of September 14th Miss Measor left her home and rode toward the high school on her bicycle. Just before leaving she told her mother she would be back at noon. That was the last her mother saw of her. Mrs. Measor grew anxious when her daughter failed to return home at noon as she had promised. She telephoned to the school, but the teachers had not seen the girl. She went then in person to the school and questioned friends of her daughter and other students, but no one had seen her. No one seems to have seen her after she left home. Every one acquainted with the missing girl speaks highly of her. They all believe that she would never have run away of her own accord. Miss Measor is an accomplished musician, and has been prominent in the Santa Ana society events and entertainments. She was a senior student in the highschool. "I have not the slightest idea of where my daughter can be," said the mother to the police. "We have searched and searched, but all our efforts have been fruitless. When the local police suggested that I go to Los Angeles I did so at once." Asked whether the girl might not have eloped, Mrs. Measor replied in the negative. "No," she said, that is hardly possible. I am sure if she were in love she would have told me."

He said he was driving between Orange and Olive, when the two men who were on bicycles, stopped him. They dragged him from his seat. One man rode off on a bicycle, leading the other wheel, and the second man took his seat in the rig and drove off with it and Ecerra’s wife. Early on Monday morning the Mexican telephoned to the sheriff that he had found his horse and rig in the river bed near Olive, and his wife in the same neighborhood. LOSSES BY MARINE BORERS Marine wood borers, which attack pilling and other timbers placed in salt water, are causing the engineers in charge of the construction of marine works on the Pacific coast much concern. They are particularly destructive along the coast from Southern California to Alaska, and shippers are beginning to realize that a cheap preservative treatment for this class of material would secure a big saving. On the average, an untreated pile lasts in these waters not more than three years. A great deal of time and money has been spent by individuals and corporations in the effort to prolong the life of these timbers. Different styles of pile casings, made of copper, zinc, cement and other mate- rials, have been constructed, and at the present thus encased are under many localities. Rewatched with great interest. In addition, a great has been done in devise conservative treatment to attack of the borers. in impregnating the piles or dead oil of coarse the piles are open-grain oil has been of a proper has been correctly injected has probably given the It is true that a greatly treated with creosote tacked by marine borers ed, but in such cases usually a good reason to the failure.

Results will be used with great interest. In addition, a great deal of work has been done in developing a preventive treatment to prevent the risk of the borers. This consists of impregnating the pile with creosote dead oil of coal tar. When piles are open-grained, and the soil been of a proper quality and been correctly injected, this plan probably given the best results. It is true that a great many piles laid with creosote have been attacked by marine borers and destroyer in such cases there is use of a good reason to account for failure. For instance, the use of air of such density that the preventive cannot be forced into it, use of green timber, the lack of cement preservative, or the use of preservative of inferior grade may not the treatment from being merely successful.
