The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation PRESIDENT HEARS THE CALL It is far from surprising that the determined stand which President Taft has taken in favor of tariff revision downward should have commanded the respect and approval of the entire country. The President says he hears the call of the country for lower duties and merchants and statesmen, manufacturers and retailers, producers and consumers in all parts of the country have hastened to assure him by telegraph and by mail that he hears aright, that the men in Congress who have been insisting on maintaining the Dingley rates are misinterpreting the wishes of their constituents, that the success of the party in the next election depends on the faithful fulfilment of the party pledges as President Taft interprets it. THE INTERESTS AND THE PEOPLE There is far too great a disposition on the part of members of Congress to confound the vociferous insistence of a few interested constituents with the wishes of the majority. A single manufacturer, head of a large organization of men more or less dependent on him for their daily deal of protectionists that by erecting a tariff wall American industries would be rendered possible and that once established American ingenuity and American enterprise would carry those industries on to a point where they could compete with all the world. To argue now that after twelve years of protection under the Dingley law American industries have made so little progress that they will be ruined by any material reduction of the rates is, in effect, to declare that protection has failed of the achievements claimed for it and implies a lack of faith in the protective principle. It is this confession of failure, this implication of erroneous reasoning and unfulfilled pledges which President Taft repudiates, not because he is lacking in loyalty to the protective policy but because he believes in it and is convinced there is no occasion whatever for the Republican party to go before the country in a position of tacit confession that their faith has been misplaced and the promises they have made of the beneficient results of protection have not been fulfilled. PINCHOT AND BALLINGER No one any longer pretends to doubt that there is a deadly feud between the Interior Department and the Forest Service. Secretary Ballinger had been opening to settlement, lands which had been withdrawn by the advice of Chief Forester Pinchot, and some of these lands include water sources and power sites which Pinchot's friends say will be gobbled up by the trusts. Ballinger is said to aim at the decapitation of Chief Newell of the Reclamation Service as well as of Pinchot, and Newell and Pinchot are working tooth and nail to justify their course. The latest phase of this fight is the determination by Ballinger of the cooperative arrangement heretofore existing between the Forest Service and the Indian Office in protection of forests on Indian crew of clever rested on their advenience ready for more promenade.

A single manufacturer, head of a large organization of men more or less dependent on him for their daily wage, can make a great deal of noise. Employees can be induced to write their member of Congress, some times, unfortunately, write the reverse of their private convictions, while the head of the concern itself is too often a past master in the art of insinuating that whereas he contributed most liberally to the campaign fund of the member of Congress last election, his coffers will be so depleted by the proposed reduction of the duty on his products that he fears he will be in no position next election to renew his contribution. It was a thorough realization of these conditions which prompted the President to assure those members of Congress who called at the White House to protest against decreased duties that he, as the titular head of his party and as President of the whole United States with all the American people as his constituents, was in a position to take a broader view of the proper rate of duty than was a member of Congress regarding a schedule which protected the products of his own district. LOYALTY OF THE PRESIDENT There are of course many statesmen and politicians who question the loyalty of the President to the protective policy, but we venture to believe that such men are short sighted. Those who are committed to the policy of protection have a dual responsibility. They must provide sufficient duty to protect the American industries and to maintain the present high wage schedule of the American workingman. But on the other hand, they must accomplish this without rendering the protective policy obnoxious. If they do the latter they will precipitate a change of heart in the people and thus jeopardize the entire system. Diplomacy is as incumbent on the advocates of protection as is the maintenance Ballinger is said to aim at the decapitation of Chief Newell of the Reclamation Service as well as of Pinchot, and Newell and Pinchot are working tooth and nail to justify their course. The latest phase of this fight is the determination by Ballinger of the cooperative arrangement heretofore existing between the Forest Service and the Indian Office in protection of forests on Indian reservations, and in the sale of timber and supervision of logging. Ballinger makes the point that such cooperation is in contravention of law. Pinchot declines to comment on this action, but he is known to be greatly disgusted and he has sent to the Secretary of Agriculture a statement of work done under the cooperative agreement in justification of it. The Senate Irrigation Committee is in the midst of an investigation of the Reclamation Service which may bring out valuable information. In Washington there is considerable speculation whether this fight will result in the resignation of Ballinger, or whether the Seattle man will prove stronger than Pinchot and Newell combined. The editor of the Squirrel Acres Bazoo, a dinky weekly published in a dinky little town of 731 inhabitants in the San Fernando valley, amuses himself by referring to Anaheim as "a sleepy and unprogressive town." If the Bazoo man ever stepped foot in Anaheim, far from his maddening squirrel herd, he must have been impressed with the humor of his observation. We have seen nothing in the Bazoo, nor at Squirrel Acres, which Anaheim might profit by patterning after. The population of the dinky San Fernando town gives no indication of the right of its newspaper to criticise us thus caustically, but in justice it should be said its population is increased somewhat during the open season for squirrels. Engineer Lippincott recommends the utilization of reservoir sites by the water companies as a means of conserving the water supply. This is what the Anaheim company is doing at Yorba and the Santa Ana company at Olive, where they maintain large storage reservoirs. Do we hear anybody "bucking" this advice "from the start?" Nay, nay. The bucker has been tamed so that he comes up and eats out of Boss Crow- THE FISHERIES DISPUTE The United States is bringing to a close its labors in preparing for submission to the Hague the New Foundland fisheries dispute which has tried the souls of American and British diplomats for almost a century, practically ever since the ratification of the Treaty of 1818. In submitting its claims to arbitration the United States is setting to the world an example which other nations may well profit by and which Bolivia, in her indignation at the award of certain disputed territory to Peru would do well to consider. There is no doubt in the minds of American statesmen as to the rights of this country, no question as to the injustice of the claims of New Foundland, and no small degree of misgiving as to the outcome of the arbitration. REVISION DOWNWARD The President in his public statement declared that the very proof of the correctness of the protective principle consisted in the possibility of gradually reducing the tariff rates. It has been the proud boast Engineer Lippincott recommends the utilization of reservoir sites by the water companies as a means of conserving the water supply. This is what the Anaheim company is doing at Yorba and the Santa Ana company at Olive, where they maintain large storage reservoirs. Do we hear anybody "bucking" this advice "from the start?" Nay, nay. The bucker has been tamed so that he comes up and eats out of Boss Crowther's hand. AMERICAN GUNNERS Hold World's Record With Coast Defense Guns SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—The world's record with the big guns, which are hidden in the hills near the Golden Gate, was made last Thursday afternoon, and the wonderful showing of the crew of the five-inch rapid-fire rifle of Battery Bouttelle, manned by Corporal Elmer E. Swanton and his six assistants, will be heard around the globe, wherever guns are emplaced and countries and ships are manned by fighting men. In this last half of July, following the usual custom of the War Department, there is rifle practice, with solid shell, by the batteries of the coast artillery. The world's record of Battery Bouttelle, made with the five-inch rapid-firing gun, is the talk of the army post. The record will not be surpassed, for it was perfect, the bull's-eye having been struck ten times in as many shots. More than that, it was all done in one minute and thirty seconds, and having done all they could do the ANAHEIM GAZETTE crew of clever artillerymen simply rested on their achievements, though ready for more potting of imaginary men-o'-war. KIND WORDS FROM RIVERSIDE The Anaheim Gazette has been enlarged to a seven-column eight-page paper. It recently installed a lino-type, and is giving evidence of other proofs of prosperity. The Gazette is one of the oldest papers in Southern California, having been founded in 1870, and it has been under the editorial management of Henry Kuchel for the past 22 years. We trust he will round out the full fifty years of the paper's history in the editorial chair and then some.—Riverside Press. SMITH HAS AN IDEA Washington, (D. C.) July 25.—Congressman Smith has evolved a plan for transfer by the government to the several States, of all unappropriated land necessary for storing and conveying water and generating and transmitting power, in trust for the benefit of the people. A state desiring to avail itself of the terms of the proposed statute shall present to Secretary of Interior an application for the particular lands desired, accompanied by appropriate maps, name of beneficiary, and terms and conditions of which easement is to be granted. Unless the government itself needs the land so described, the grant shall be made. Smith does not believe in any conservation charges for water, right of way, or other government possessions, and he thinks this bill may solve a much vexed problem. PERSIA AND GREECE AT PEACE Historians will be interested to know that that little dispute between Persia and Greece, dating from 546 B. C., has been satisfactorily settled. As proof of their future good will, the Persians according to cable dispatches, have appointed for the first time in 2,398 years Big Reductions ON Summer Goods BARGAINS IN ALL DEPARTMENTS. Ladies’ Suits, Waists and Skirts are greatly reduced to make them move. We will not carry any over to another season. Men’s Summer Suits and Trousers at a big cut in price.

C., has been satisfactorily settled. As proof of their future good will, the Persians according to cable dispatches, have appointed for the first time in 2,398 years an envoy extraordinary, etc., to Athens Marathon has at last been forgotten. It will be remembered by old inhabitants that in the year 490 B. C. there was a war in progress between these two nations, and the memory of that bloody encounter at Marathon, when after the Persians had lost 6,400 men, the referee gave the decision to Greece, will not easily be forgotten. It was at this time the Persian Minister to Athens was hastily recalled, and the Persian Embassy closed, never to open again, it was at that time believed. Happily that is all over now. Students of ancient history recalled that in B. C. 500, when the Ionians revolted against the Persian rule, they were assisted by the Athenians and the Eretrians, who took, sacked and burned the city of Sardis, capital of Lydia. The irie of Darius, the Persian king, was aroused, and after the failure of one expedition against the Greeks, in B. C. 493, he sent an overpowering force two years later, which was overwhelmingly defeated on the plains of Marathon by the Athenians under Miltiades. Later, an expedition sent out by Xerxes, the Persian King who followed Darlus, was defeated at Salamis, since which time Persia has not molested Greece. After nearly 3000 years the Persians have buried the hatchet, or the spear, and now the situation, as summed up by a Greek paragrapher, is a personification of "hands across the (Aegean) sea."

A traveling man was heard to say one night last week that the Kamama Free Shows are the best of the kind ever held in California. "Kamama is a prince of good fellows, and I have seen his good work and heard excellent reports, also, all over the State of California." The crowds congregate for the concert and entertainment, but they are more interested in this wonderful Doctor when he appears. Kamama makes one demonstration after another in what appears to be miraculous results. The past week many prominent people have appeared upon the platform anxious to take advantage of Kamama's offer to treat the sick and afflicted on the platform free of charge. With assistants Kamama applies his peculiar medicines and bloodless surgery in less time than it takes to tell it. The cripples throw away their crutches and canes and walk away from the stage. An Old Citizen Relieved. Mrs. L. Melendez, of Oak Street, for years has been a sufferer and was unable to move without assistance, and was a pitiable sight. Last evening when Kamama called for the sick and afflicted she was one of the first to ask to come upon the platform. With the assistance of kind friends she was carried to the platform in an invalids' chair and her case was diagnosed by Kamama as paralysis adjtans. A committee of ladies was then called upon the platform as it was necessary to partially disrobe the lady. Kamama then began a demonstration. In fifteen minutes from the time she appeared on the platform she walked out from the curtain without canes and without crutches. When Kamama appeared he was vigorously applauded by the audience. Mrs. Melendez' daughter says it is the first time she has walked without assistance for three years. Mr. Bidal Badilla, another citizen of Anaheim, was relieved of a severe case of rheumatism by Kamama. Never in the history of our city has appeared such a man. His offices are crowded from 10 o'clock in the morning until late at night; people coming from Santa Barbara, Riverside, Santa Ana and the whole was vigorously applauded by the audience.

To a newspaper man Kamama stated that he would be here for two weeks longer. It is expected that a great deal of sickness and disease will be cleared up in that time. FREE LECTURES TO MEN AND WOMEN Kamama's manager has engaged the Opera House for two lectures to be given by Kamama Sunday afternoon and evening. In San Francisco, Oakland and other cities where Kamama has delivered these lectures in halls and opera houses they have been unable to hold the large crowds. Kamama is an orator, linguist, author and traveler, and never fails to interest the people. The subject to ladies, in the afternoon, will be "Woman, Wife and Motherhood," and all above the age of 18 should not fail to attend. In the evening the subject for men only will be, "Man Know Thyself." The lecture in the afternoon will begin at 3 o'clock sharp, in the evening at 8 sharp. Kamama's offices are located above the First National Bank. Office hours from 10 to 12, 2 to 4 and 7 to 8. Consultation fee, $1.00.
