Speaking 'of a proposed purchase of the Temple block as a site for a new city hall, it says: "Less than twenty-five years ago the Temple block, so-called, was the Downey block, then the finest office building in Los Angeles." In the words of the spectacular Mr. Runkle, who had a grouch, not so's you could notice it. Twenty-five years ago the two blocks were dissimilar structures, and so we believe have continued until the present moment—or until the time when the Downey block was torn down to make room for the present Federal building. The block was erected by the late Governor Downey in the early 70's, and ran from a point on Main street opposite Commercial to Temple street. Travelers entering Los Angeles by stage coach in those early days first beheld the imposing structure from a point on Commercial street several blocks away. V. Dol there conduct- THE INSOLENCE OF OFFICE We have been recently given an exhibition of practical machine politics in Orange county. We have witnessed these demonstrations hitherto, but it was reserved for the present instance to thwart the will of the people more insolently than ever before. A year ago we had one of these exhibitions of practical machine politics in the nomination of an unfit candidate for the senatorship. The incident is of too recent occurrence to need extended reference to it here; but a brief return to the subject may be worth while. The republicans in county convention assembled appointed delegates to the Thirty-ninth district senatorial convention and instructed them not to support a certain unfit man for the office. Immediately after the appointment of these delegates rumors became persistent that at least two of them were ready to disregard their instructions—that they had already offered themselves a sacrifice at the sanctuary of the big white boss in Los Angeles, and could not be relied upon to carry out the obligations so solemnly put upon them by the convention. A report soon emanated from railroad headquarters in Los Angeles that so far from claiming two men on the delegation, the boss could lay his hand upon six of the thirteen and make them vote as he dictated. This report, the republicans of the county soon learned to their amazement, was quite true. A caucus was called, the clean men of the party desiring to discuss the matter with their fallen fellow-delegates. The upright men on the delegation attended the caucus; the others remained away. They had not the courage to face their neighbors and fellow delegates and make concession to their informants. The road machine handled, it is ways a bluff. For its Estudy promising the individual install road has been son with the ioner job.

The block was erected by the late Governor Downey in the early 70's, and ran from a point on Main street opposite Commercial to Temple street. Travelers entering Los Angeles by stage coach in those early days first beheld the imposing structure from a point on Commercial street several blocks away. V. Dol there conducted the Commercial restaurant, a table d'hote of rare gustatory delight, and the young bloods of the Anaheim of those days thought nothing of driving into town of an evening for a dinner at this famous restaurant. The ground floor was occupied by stores and the upper floor by offices. Former Governor Gage had offices on the second floor and on this floor also was housed the public library. The Temple block was erected years later, and was in every way a more imposing and stately structure. In the gore at Main and Spring streets was housed the Temple and Workman bank, which failed in those early days, precipitating a monetary panic which old-timers yet recall. As we say, the two structures were dissimilar, and we believe have ever since so continued. Editor Clover having thus been set right, we extend to him our congratulations upon the excellent character of his weekly, which we read with interest every Sunday after services. SWINDLING THE GOVERNMENT The rascals in New York who have been cheating through the Customs House to the extent of millions, are after Collector Loeb. They represent hundreds of millions of dollars. No previous collector has had the nerve to make them disgorge. Unless they succeed in overthrowing Loeb they must go to jail. A procession of them are on their way to Washington with charges against the collector. They will see the President. Who are these people? They are New York millionaire importers, whose thefts have been detected. They are backed by thousands of their customers, and also by thousands of tourists, who have been smuggling in a smaller way, but the aggregate of whose thefts through smuggling amounts to millions. It is but another phase of the tariff question. Under the Common Law, a man a merchant thirteen and make them vote as he dictated. This report, the republicans of the county soon learned to their amazement, was quite true. A caucus was called, the clean men of the party desiring to discuss the matter with their fallen fellow-delegates. The upright men on the delegation attended the caucus; the others remained away. They had not the courage to face their neighbors and fellow delegates and make confession to their infamy. The senatorial convention was held, railroad money was said to be in evidence, the boughten delegates were counted like so many cattle, and the unfit candidate was nominated for the office. An indignation meeting, attended by a thousand republicans, was held and their action denounced. A republican majority of 3000 was scaled down to a paltry 100, but the unfit candidate pulled through on election day by a beggarly handful of votes. The governor of the state, a United States senator and other machine men stumped the district, making this man's candidacy the paramount issue of the campaign. One of these speakers mentioned Roosevelt's name not at all, Taft's once, and Estudillo's dozens of times. A few who had denounced the action of the boughten delegates were won over to the push, and upon these men, more than any other, rests the stain of this man's election. More recently the demonstration of machine politics has had to do with the appointment of a horticultural commissioner. Only one man out of the original number of five taking the necessary examinations qualified for the place. Instead of promptly appointing him, as the supervisors were in duty bound to do, they fiddled and sidestepped to the end that one of the unsuccessful aspirants might have another chance at the job. This unsuccessful candidate was one of the pinto delegates who voted for Estudillo at the Riverside convention. He led the revolt against the instructions; he sold his party out. He was now to come on for his reward. He failed in his examination before the state board, but this had little effect with the machine. One of the members of the state board was produced, and stated this man had actually passed the examination. Secretary Carnes replied positively that he did not pass, and moreover, that this man's markings law which th... Mayor Alexander showed a pair of clean official heels to his antagonists in last week's Los Angeles primary, and his name will appear upon the ballot at next month's election as a candidate of the Good Government league to succeed himself. He polled over 12,000 votes, while Smith and Mushet are so nearly tied with something over 7000 that a contest has been filed by the latter. Mushet asks a recount. Returns from the primary show the good government forces swept the field. Snow on the mountains, and green peas, tomatoes and other vegetables upon the dinner table. That is winter in Southern California for you. Nights are chilly, but the days are ideally perfect. If the hook worm is the really and truly cause of laziness then surely the little insect is not a Southern provincial but a cosmopolitan in the widest sense. He led the revolt against the instructions; he sold his party out. He was now to come on for his reward. He failed in his examination before the state board, but this had little effect with the machine. One of the members of the state board was produced, and stated this man had actually passed the examination. Secretary Carnes replied positively that he did not pass, and moreover, that this man's markings had been surreptitiously raised by some one after being passed upon by the state board. The man who passed the examinations, and who proved his competency to conduct the affairs of the office, was put aside by practical machine politics, which has nothing to do with law or morals, and sees nothing ahead of it but the stern mandate of the boss in an adjoining county. A writer upon current political economy recently made the statement that the railroad machine maintains its grip upon the politics of the state by controlling less than ten per cent of the vote. We think this statement is true. The returns of the election last year showed how the party regarded Estudillo, even in a presidential year, when no one is expected to scratch his ticket, and with the governor and United States senator and others actively campaigning for him. What would be the result of a vote in this county today as between Bishop, the man who passed the state examinations, and Morrison, who did not? The assessed valuation of all the railroads in California is something like $125,000,000. That of the entire state is upward of two billions. So that the repeated declaration of the railroad, that it is forced to go into politics to protect its large property interests, is, like its platforms, like so much molasses to catch flies. The much-vaunted rail- ANAHEIM GAZETTE OFFICE given an inane polication we have reasons hithing the prewill of whan ever and one of the machine in an unfit ship.

A men of mass the follow-deletion the other had not neighbors make confidence. road machine is a bluff, usually well handled, it is true, but ever and always a bluff. It lines up its men for its Estudillos and Morrisons by promising them support in their individual instances later on. The railroad has been trying to pay Morrison with the horticultural commissioner job. What right has a party boss in the neighboring county to say what the people of this county shall do in the matter of appointments to office? Dare he maintain that an unfit man shall be named at his behest, against the qualifications of a fit aspirant backed by the orchardists of the county as one man? What would be the result of a vote between these two men in the county? And yet we have seen the laws set at naught and nullified merely that the dictum of the boss might be complied with, and the people again dishonored in the very house of their servants. This machine ramifies into every county of the state, and by secret methods coupled with the apathy of the people has erected itself into a powerful organization. When such cases as the nomination of Estudillo or the appointment of Morrison arise, every influence at its command is at once exerted. Some times it "wins out," sometimes it loses, and then again it gets away with the bacon by downright illegality. It respects no law which the people must abide by. It has counted its tools into office after they have been fairly defeated at the polls. It has certified measures as having been approved by the people when the returns showed they were defeated. It is dangerous ground this political machine treds upon. Face to face with the people, it cowers in abject fear. But let it draw the mantle of darkness about it, let it operate in secrecy, and it runs the politics of the state for us. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS City of Santa Ana Cut Into Ten Voting Precincts The Board of Supervisors were in session on Tuesday, and among other business transacted was the dividing of the city of Santa Ana into ten voting precincts, which will take the place of the present five wards. Westminster precinct was divided into two precincts, the section line between 3 and 4 south to the ocean being the dividing line. The portion to the west is to be Bay City precinct. The reason for the divisions being made is that the precincts had grown too big. When over 300 votes are cast in a precinct it may be divided. A communication from the State Fish Commission was read requesting that W. K. Robinson, recently appointed a state deputy, be also named as county game warden, the county to help pay the salary. The supervisors asked that Commissioner Connell of Los Angeles be asked to come here on Dec. 9 to talk the matter over. Supervisor MacMullan was given permission to expend over $200 on the Yorba bridge. DAIRYING AND POULTRY Polytechnic Schools Offering Short Courses In These Industries The California Polytechnic school at San Luis Obispo has just completed and equipped a modern creamery at a cost of $16,000 and up-to-date poultry plant at a cost of $3000 Now that this additional equipment is ready for use, the school is offering to farmers, dairymen, and poultry raisers short courses of practical instruction along the lines of dairy EBELL LADIES IN INDIA Travel Section Discuss Interesting Subject on Saturday Afternoon The Travelers' Section of the Ebell met at Mrs. Pearson's on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 13, with fifteen members present. The meeting was called to order by the leader. Roll call was answered by facts concerning India. The program was followed: Darjieling—Miss Rehwoldt. Mohammedanism in India — Mr. Rehwoldt. Calcutta—Mrs. Storm. Great Eastern Hotel—Miss Walker. A Banyan tree—Miss Margaret Waiker. Baber—Mrs. Falkenstein. Akbar—Mrs. Pearson. Mogul Palace of Delhi—Mrs. Durton. Shan Jehan—Mrs. Rose. The next lecture will be on the Passion play of Oberammergau, which is to take place next year again after an interval of ten years. Members will answer roll call with facts concerning it. A committee of Miss Walker, Mrs. Dutton and Mrs. Storm was appointed by the president to see if there high school could be obtained as a meeting place for the section, as it membership is increasing so rapidly. The next place of meeting will be with Mrs. Storm.

It has certified measures as having been approved by the people when the returns showed they were defeated. It is dangerous ground this political machine treds upon. Face to face with the people, it cowers in abject fear. But let it draw the mantle of darkness about it, let it operate in secrecy, and it runs the politics of the state for us. Some day this bubble of railroad domination will be pricked. The bluff will be called. Machine agents will not always be able to hold up alluring nominations before the eyes of cupidity, and the mask of authority will be torn from its disguises. We shall have men applying to the people, not the railroads, for political preferment. When a man has earned an appointment, like Bishop did, the board of supervisors will forthwith appoint him, and not make it necessary to threaten mandamus proceedings to compel them to do their duty. CENTRAL BABES SPANKED Local Aggregation the Bad Bogie Men Chilly Fisher's hot bunch of ball-tossers spanked the Central Babes of Los and put them supperless to bed, 7 to 4, on the local diamond last Sunday. The day was showery, and the Babes fell in the sewer. The locals were the bad bogie men, Huntington being the worst of the lot, amassing three hits out of three times up. The game was well played throughout and furnished amusement to a large crowd of fans who gathered to see the trouble.

Now that this additional equipment is ready for use, the school is offering to farmers, dairymen, and poultry raisers short courses of practical instruction along the lines of dairy and poultry husbandry. January 5, 1910, three short courses will be begun, which courses are to be completed during the month of January. A course in General Dairying will pay special attention to methods of increasing the efficiency of the dairy herd. A second course in Dairy Manufacture is designated for butter makers and others specially interested in the manufacture of dairy products. A course in Poultry Husbandry will furnish practical information for the general farmer and poultry raiser. These courses will appeal especially to the busy man or woman who can leave home for a short time only. Much interest has been expressed in these novel courses of instruction, since they are packed full of practical work in the creamery and at the poultry-plant. Any person over seventeen years of age is eligible for admission. An illustrated booklet just published by the State Polytechnic School is sent upon request to any farmer interested.
