The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. THE BOUGHTEN PRESS James D. Phelan in an address delivered before an audience of 10,000 people at San Francisco on Saturday evening, which was called as a result of the attempted assassination of Francis J. Heney, referred to the boughten press as being in great part responsible for the crime. Mr. Phelan named the following papers as being in the pay of the "higher-ups" to poison the minds of the people with reference to the graft prosecution: The San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner and the San Francisco Evening Globe; also the following weeklies: The Argonaut, News Letter, Wasp and others of lesser light. Newspaper men who read these papers and periodicals have for more than a year been aware of the fact that they have done and are doing all in their power to discredit the graft prosecution, and to glorify Ruef, Schmitz, Calhoun and the gang. We make bold to say that in no other city of the land could this intolerable state of newspaper ethics prevail for a moment. The Examiner in the days following the civil war was dumped into the street by an irate populace, and at a later date, when the Chronicle's editor had been assassinated, armed In these days of subsistence papers it is pleasant to prospectus of the California a new independent news published in San Francisco but less exponent of the truth. Pillsbury. Mr. Pillsbury, foremost editorial writer coast, will be editor of the Weekly, which will be published in San Francisco. Mr. Pillsbury of his venture: "It is something new sun. It is a paper financial persons, not one of whom than $500 invested in them and not one of the numbers a primary purpose, the most prof't on that investment thought, hope and expect establish a thoughtful week state-wide in its range of that will be free from all alliances and dedicated to ing of public affairs from point of absolute good faith public, good faith in seeing the truth as well as good telling what is true. "The California Weeklytain lighter reading matters men and the home—some talk to the hearts of its well as to their heads—binding purpose will be to the powers of government the hands of The People a safest place, for all co- have those powers reside." "Accordingly, The California will be republican with a party hack. It will ad principles of the Lincoln league without being that league or any other. To cooperate with the Government league and the Lea-ties in San Francisco and..." in their power to discredit the graft prosecution, and to glorify Ruef, Schmitz, Calhoun and the gang. We make bold to say that in no other city of the land could this intolerable state of newspaper ethics prevail for a moment. The Examiner in the days following the civil war was dumped into the street by an irate populace, and at a later date, when the Chronicle's editor had been assassinated, armed men stood in the building to prevent a threatened demolition of the office. A few months ago the Chronicle was proven by the grand jury to have accepted $10,000 from the Home telephone company to conduct a "campaign of education" while Ruef bribed the board of supervisors to grant the company a franchise. Mr. Phelan boldly denounced these newspapers and periodicals, and urged his hearers to withdraw their support from them. Good advice. How many men in Orange county subscribe to these daily or weekly papers? They should be shunned like a pestilence... Let our people withdraw their support from them, every last one of them. The Argonaut, which under Frank Pixley's control, became one of the leading weeklies in the country, has degenerated into the gutter-snipe class, and is edited by a man who, as a noted satirist once said, "was kept in the office to chew Pixley's beefsteak." Samples of this publication are being sent into the homes of many Orange county residents as it is understood sample copies are being mailed all over the coast. It comes into your house to poison your mind. Exclude it as you would a polecat. The attempted assassination of Francis J. Heney, the intrepid graft prosecutor, in San Francisco last Friday evening, sent a thrill of indignation throughout the state — throughout the nation. The prayers of the people are for his recoevr,y which now seems probable. The sympathies of the people are with this brave prosecutor, who placed Schmitz in state prison, only to be released by the appellate court, and who has been his way to wearing convict Accordingly, The California will be republican with a party hack. It will adopt principles of the Lincoln league without being that league or any other. To cooperate with the Government league and the League in San Francisco and organizations looking to the public life but it will not self in such an attitude of organization, individual or individuals, as will stop hering to its announced maintaining absolute good in the public.

Heney, the intrepid graft prosecutor, in San Francisco last Friday evening, sent a thrill of indignation throughout the state — throughout the nation. The prayers of the people are for his recoevr,y which now seems probable. The sympathies of the people are with this brave prosecutor, who placed Schmitz in state prison, only to be released by the appellate court, and who has Ruef on his way to wearing convict stripes. In this connection, it might be worth while to state that Tom Dozier, one of Ruef's council, was chairman of the last republican state convention. Let decent people hang their heads in shame. May Heney speedily recover, and resume his task as prosecutor of the graft-boodlers, is the fervent wish of the people. An "elder statesman" of the Japanese empire asserts his solemn conviction that war between the United States and Japan is inevitable, that it will be "terrific and devastating," and that it will last 10 years. Softly, softly, Mr. Jap. If war comes between the two nations, and it will not come, it will require Uncle Sam no longer to polish off the Japs than it took him to put away the Don a decade ago—only long enough to let our warships at the enemy—only that and nothing more. A press dispatch from Arizona says burglars blew open a safe in a newspaper office in the territory and stole $1000. And Arizona not admitted to statehood yet? THE CALIFORNIA WEEKLY These days of subsidized news it is pleasant to read the status of the California Weekly, an independent newspaper established in San Francisco by that fear component of the truth, Arthur J. Murray. Mr. Pillsbury, one of the first editorial writers on the will be editor of the California Weekly, which will be published in San Francisco. Mr. Pillsbury says adventure: This something new under the sun is a paper financed by 200,000, not one of whom has more than 100 invested in the enterprise, but one of the number has, as primary purpose, the making of a loan that investment. The one who, hope and expectation is to wish a thoughtful weekly journal, made in its range of interests, will be free from all entangling issues and dedicated to the view-public affairs from the standpoint of absolute good faith with the good faith in searching for truth as well as good faith in what is true. The California Weekly will consider reading matter for tired and the home—something to fill the hearts of its readers as they go to their heads—but a domestic purpose will be to help to get answers of government back into hands of The People as being the place, for all concerned, to those powers reside. Ordinarily, The California Weekly be republican without being hack. It will advocate the views of the Lincoln-Roosevelt without being the organ ofague or any other. It expects operate with the Good Govern-ague and the League of Justice in San Francisco and any other. Not one voter out of five hundred made any pretense of recalling by their legal designation the long list of constitutional amendments that were voted upon last week. "Senate constitutional amendment No. 26" suggested little to the average voter; it appeared fourth in the column of amendments, but there was nothing in its title to indicate that it did. Why can not the legislature, as the Sacramento Bee suggests, provide a way of numbering all amendments in regular order from one up, as they are to appear upon the ballot, and without regard to the order in which they originate, which is a matter of no concern to the voter? Thus, "Senate constitutional amendment No. 26," which appears fourth in the column, would be designated by the simple title, "Amendment No. 4." Such an arrangement would greatly simplify the discussion of the amendments and enable the voter to recognize any particular amendment by number. When the voter learned, for instance, that the amendment dealing with the mortgage tax was "Amendment No. 4" he would easily remember it; and when he entered his booth and proceeded to mark his ballot he would have no difficulty in finding "No. 4" and identifying it. ASKS FOR DAMAGES Declaring that the bringing of a suit against him in 1906 by Blanche L. Dolph who was then and still is his partner in the ownership of 153.47 acres of land near the mouth of Ali-so creek caused a $100,000 deal to fall through, Priestly Hall has filed a cross-complaint in an action taken against him by Miss Dolph in which he asks $25,000 damages. On April 3, 1903, Miss Dolph and Hall found they could purchase 153.47 acres of land for $700,000 living on them. Returns of the vote upon national amendments were lookhis week from the secretary but it will probably be some before the result is definde known.

Simpson, missed his new bicycle on Monday evening, which he left in front of the family residence on Philadelphia street. Virgil was unconsolable until the next afternoon, when it was found some blocks away, having evidently been abandoned by the man who was making away with it. Bicycle thefts are numerous, and scarcely a week passes but one or more are stolen. Tom Wilkie came down from the oil wells on Tuesday to see the sights and hear the latest news.

Western Tea suit against him in 1906 by Blanche L. Dolph who was then and still is his partner in the ownership of 153.47 acres of land near the mouth of Allso creek caused a $100,000 deal to fall through, Priestly Hall has filed a cross-complaint in an action taken against him by Miss Dolph in which he asks $25,000 damages. On April 3, 1903, Miss Dolph and Hall found they could purchase 153.47 acres of land for $700, the land lying on the bluffs adjoining the Thurston ranch. Miss Dolph put up the money. On July 27, 1906, Hall agreed to sell the land to Horace J. Pullen, who wished to turn the site over to wealthy associates for the sum of $100,000. Pullen had all things arranged, when suit was brought by Miss Dolph against Hall for an accounting. Pullen's people heard of it and called negotiations off. Then the suit brought by Miss Dolph was dismissed. This year another action was brought by her for a half interest in the property. The agreement entered into by her and Hal' in 1903 was set up. Hall's cross complaint follows. He does not consider his half interest worth more than $25,000. Had the deal with Pullen gone through he would have received $50,000 for his half interest. He thinks he is entitled to $25,000 damages. To help boost Market in our store. Our for one day only w all the latest sha plete line to selec money.

Home 2063, Sunset 1$31 CASH GROCERS Kincaid Bros. SWEET POTATO FUNGUS Bowers are discussing the report on the black rot is finding its way into the sweet potato districts of large county. Fullerton alone ships 15,000 sacks. Many growers there is no sign of the disease their ranches. It was first discussed on the land of O. H. Schumacher in Placentia. Samples were sent to the pathological station at older, and Prof. Smith said the bees showed the rot very plainly. O. H. Schumacher has just received a letter from Prof. Ramsey, calls attention to the fact that one of the worst sweet potato diseases in New Jersey and other states, and is the cause of serious loss back there every year. Days it will be extremely unfortunate to have this trouble become prevailing in Southern California. F. Ramsey continues: "If the crop fails it appears now is limitless." PLACENTIA L. P.

Days it will be extremely unfortunate have this trouble become prevailing in Southern California. Ramsey continues: "If the disease, as it appears now, is limited to a very few places in your district, I would earnestly urge you to send of it completely before it is further." Schumacher says many other patches show signs of the disease, but he believes it is worse in place than on any other ranch section. West Anaheim citizen while living in the gutter some days was surprised to unearth a quan-barley a short distance under surface. Excavating further, he entered a gopher hole which led deposit of a large quantity of buried under the sidewalk. Rows had evidently been laying their winter's supply of food.
