PASTE THIS IN YOUR OLD HAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN WORTH KNOWING Primary Law Provides that Fullest Publicity Be Given Voters Regarding Candidates—Dates of Special Interest to Electors—Points on the Election Law—Notes from Capital (Correspondence of The Gazette) Sacramento, March 7.—For the edification and convenience of the ubiquitous individual who makes his hat a political scrap book, the following primary and general election calendar for 1910 has been prepared. It is accurate and is published herewith by courtesy of A. Carlisle and Company of San Francisco, who compiled it. July 27—Registration closes. June 17—Secretary of State must send to County Clerk a notice designating the offices for which candidates are to be nominated. July 16—Prior to this date party committees file petition for holding convention with county clerk. July 16—Last day to file nomination papers with county clerk; July 26—Last day for county clerk to forward secretary of state nomination papers of state senators, assemblymen and all candidates to be voted for in more than one county. July 22—Secretary of state shall transmit to county clerk a list containing the name and address of each person whose nomination papers are filed in his office, who is entitled to be voted for in such county, with designation of office and party principle.

Exhibit A is a series of photographs taken at intervals of one to five minutes showing well-groomed men, an emaciated hobo, a negro, daintily attired young ladies, ragamiffins, and even pampered pets, all drinking from the same cup. The state authorities say that neither the fellow who “takes one once in a while” nor the abstemious water-wagoner can be sure of avoiding disease unless the cup that inebriates and the after matinee glass that tickles and chills, are scalded or steamed between draughts. But Carthage must be destroyed, so abas the public drinking cup. Record and Attainments of California’s New State Forester G. H. Homans, formerly chief of silviculture, United States Forestry Service, District 5, San Francisco, who succeeds G. B. Lull as California state forester, brings to that office a record of work in the federal service which has enabled him to become familiar with forest conditions in all the states and territories, with the exception of Alaska and a half dozen southern states. His appointment was made by Governor Gillett upon recommendation of the U.S. department of agriculture. Mr. Homans received his first training in forestry at the Biltmore forest school of North Carolina, graduating therefrom in 1903, to serve six months as forest student in the for- 26—Last day for county clerk to forward secretary of state nomination papers of state senators, assemblymen and all candidates to be voted for in more than one county.

By clerks with clerks of other counties where county is part of district which has enabled him to become familiar with forest conditions in all the states and territories, with the exception of Alaska and a half dozen southern states. His appointment was made by Governor Gillett upon recommendation of the U.S. department of agriculture. Mr. Homans received his first training in forestry at the Biltmore forest school of North Carolina, graduating therefrom in 1903, to serve six months as forest student in the forest service the following winter. He successfully passed the examination for forest assistant in 1904, receiving appointment as such in July. His work for the first year consisted in the examination of timber lands in the eastern states, the preparation of working plans, looking toward the conservative management of mixed hard wood forests, and assisting in making commercial tree studies of cotton wood, white ash and red gum in the Mississippi river bottom lands. During the summer of 1906 he was one of a party assigned to an examination of timber lands in Idaho in co-operation with the Northern Pacific railroad to determine the practicability of applying forest management to its holdings, for the purpose of securing a sustained annual yield of railroad ties. Upon completion of the Idaho work Mr. Homans was appointed assistant forest inspector with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and was assigned to the inspection of timber sales upon the national forests in Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Later he was appointed assistant chief of the section of timber sales, Washington. Califrnia Becoming the Automobile Mecca California's superlity in climatic conditions, development of good roads and other attractions which lure the automobile enthusiasts to this coast is evidenced in the compilation of registered machines and chauffeurs made by R. C. Bell, superintendent of the motor vehicle department in the office of Charles F. Curry, secretary of state. The complete record of machines since registration was first begun gives a total of nearly 29,000 machines; while the number of registered chauffeurs is over 12,000. In 1909, 9073 motor cars were registered, while 1339 ownerships were transferred, showing the trade in second hand machines. As the registration fee for machines is $2 and as chauffeurs also pay $2 for registration the state derives an annual income of about $25,000 from this source. The estimated investment in automobiles and attorneys will be paid for by the treasurer or by the court. The first deputy field deputies in the court were entitled to a month to $130. Therein W. R. Newborr's deputy was placed case Judge Wilbur Held that the salary so far as payment of terms of office is concerned. Attorneys William into the appellate court of mandate against and secured a written drawing of Newman Torney Williams counsel decision settled the fices. District Attorney clarified it settled it where deputies already being a distinction that had a deputy no deputy provided Lester drew warrants fices, declaring he though the district notice to withhold decision in San Mateo case that he said he named here. Warrants were paid and pay and the warrants treasured. A month ago, when case was decided cisco appellate counsel guilty of allowing offices where non-Attorney Davis agreed on Auditor Lester Lin, but the warrant paid. The new commission $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, the amounting to about $5500 has been paid under the act, Sept. 14—State convention must be held by this date. Sept. 25—Before this date supervisors and superior udgje must fix the amount of bonds of county officers. Time for filing. Time for filing independent nominations: With secretary of state—Between Sept. 9 and Oct. 4. With county clerk—Between Sept. 19 and Oct. 8. By clerks with clerks of other counties where county is part of district for same offices—Oct. 12. Oct. 14—Prior to this date secretary of state shall certify to county clerk names of candidates, the office and their party designation, entitled to receive votes at November election.

Nov. 23—Last day for county officers to file statement of receipts and expenditures. Duty of county clerk—Must enter results of canvass on board's records; TO ENJOIN SALARY UPLIFT TAXPAYER THOMAS BRINGS HIS TROUBLES INTO COURT Payment of Salaries to Deputies Contrary to Law, Claim—Two Decisions of Appellate Court Apparently At Cross Purposes—Treasurer Pays J. C. Thomas, on behalf of himself and other taxpayers, has brought an action in the Superior Court asking for an injunction against County Treasurer J. C. Joplin, prohibiting him from paying warrants drawn for the additional deputies and help provided for under the 1909 Orange county salary act. District Attorney S. M. Davis is attorney for the plaintiff and E. E. Keech is of counsel. The injunction action will probably be heard in the superior court at an early date. The suit concerns the deputies in the offices of clerk, sheriff, auditor, treasurer, tax collector and school superintendent. The complaint states that warrants have been paid under the salary act, and that the treasurer expects to pay other warrants. The salary act has bobbed up periodically for the last year. Two suits were brought in the superior court. The first determined that the field deputies in the assessor's office were entitled to the raise from $100 a month to $130. The second was one in which W. R. Newman, an assessor's deputy, was plaintiff. In this case Judge Wilbur of Los Angeles, held that the salary act was illegal so far as payment during the present terms of office is concerned. TRAINING OF CHILDREN How Best to Educate Men and Women of the Future At a recent meeting of the Parents-Teachers' Association Miss Clar I. Carpenter, principal of the primary school read the following interesting paper upon The Training of Children: To fit boys and girls to become creditable members of society is the chief object of the schools. Knowledge of books is essential, of course, but the teacher who confines her instruction to that alone, or who makes it paramount, has failed utterly. She has built the superstructure of her house with not even sand for a foundation. What, then, is necessary for the school to furnish for this foundation? Social training may be divided into two classes—training for character, and training for polish, the superficial training, if you please, but a needed one, I assure you. Honesty and truthfulness, purity, obedience, respect, human kindliness—all should figure and figure largely in the child's training. Added to these, perhaps not of equal importance, yet very desirable, are the little courtesies and manners which afford so much pleasure to associates. The moral welfare of the child necessarily deserves first consideration; but the "I thank you," "I beg your pardon," "I am sorry that I hurt you," the uplift of the cap, allowing some one older to pass first, the surrender of seats—are telling factors in the lives of the children. Dishonesty in school shows itself in comparatively few ways, the most deplorable being the appropriation of another's work. Most pupils recognize the right of individual ownership so far as books and pencils are con- little less pronounced it is in the primary schools, partly through fear of punishment and partly because the bump has not assumed its proper proportions. But if allowed to pass unreproved, the succeeding years develop this tendency and we have the finished product in our high schools—and a most grotesque figure it presents. Are we Americans justly condemned as the producers of a disrespectful nation? If so, whose the fault? Yours, my friend, and mine. We have not exacted respect. How can we reasonably expect to have it accorded us? Well might we learn a lesson in this, from that unprogressive nation—China, whose ancestral worship stops little short of superstition. This, then, is what we are trying to accomplish in the school today—to help your sons and daughters become noble men and women; but we need help—your help. Without it, our task assumes herculean proportions. The friendship of the child means much, but of infinitely more value to us is the friendship and cooperation of the parents. CLAR I. CARPENTER. SANTA ANA That an open ditch on a street is a nuisance that the city may abate is the decision of Judge Oster of San Bernardino, who tried the case of the city of Santa Ana against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. The city will be granted an injunction prohibiting the company from maintaining open cement ditches on East Seventeenth street and West Washington avenue. Judge Oster would not specify as to whether the irrigation company shall put the ditch underground or remove the ditch beyond the property line. Either method would ab- The salary act has bobbed up periodically for the last year. Two suits were brought in the superior court. The first determined that the field deputies in the assessor's office were entitled to the raise from $100 a month to $130. The second was one in which W. R. Newman, an assessor's deputy, was plaintiff. In this case Judge Wilbur of Los Angeles, held that the salary act was illegal so far as payment during the present terms of office is concerned. Attorneys Williams & Rutan went into the appellate court for a writ of mandate against Auditor Dester, and secured a writ compelling the drawing of Newman's warrant. Attorney Williams contended that the decision settled the case for all offices. District Attorney Davis declared it settled it only for offices where deputies already existed, there being a distinction between an office that had a deputy and one that had no deputy provided by law. Auditor Lester drew warrants for all the offices, declaring himself satisfied, though the district attorney served notice to withhold until there was a decision in San Mateo county on a case that he said touched the offices named here. Warrants were drawn for back pay and the warrants were paid by the treasurer. Each month since then, last November, the deputies have been getting their money. A month ago, when the San Mateo case was decided by the San Francisco appellate court against the legality of allowing added deputies in offices where none existed. District Attorney Davis again served notice on Auditor Lester and Treasurer Joplin, but the warrants were drawn and paid. The new complaint shows that $5500 has been paid out in salaries under the act, the added salaries amounting to about $7500 per year. Treasurer Joplin has held that he would be in contempt of the appellate court of this district were he to refuse to pay the warrants after the writ of mandate had been issued by that court in the Newman case, that he had nothing to do but follow the order of the court, that being the only case taken from this county in regard to the salary act of this county. The complaint just filed recites in detail all the warrants that have been paid, and gives the words of the notices served by the district attorney upon the treasurer. The complaint ends by stating that the payessarily deserves first consideration; but the "I thank you," "I beg your pardon," "I am sorry that I hurt you," the uplift of the cap, allowing some one older to pass first, the surrender of seats—are telling factors in the lives of the children. Dishonesty in school shows itself in comparatively few ways, the most deplorable being the appropriation of another's work. Most pupils recognize the right of individual ownership so far as books and pencils are concerned, but haven't the slightest conception of wrong-doing in handing in another's work for their own. In the little people this is entirely free from deceit; the child openly compares his paper with his neighbors. If this tendency is not checked as the child advances, he becomes underhanded; copies when the teacher is not looking or conceals a paper about his desk or person. He is now consciously dishonest; and often neither fear of punishment nor the contempt of his fellows can break the habit. The old saying that, "Children and fools speak the truth" may still hold good for the fools and some children. Many of them have outgrown the class. With us, this also is manifest in petty forms—forms often so trivial that they scarcely seem important enough to merit the teacher's interference; a denial of blame, shifting responsibility upon some one else, false reasons for conduct. And yet if a child is to be a truthful man, he must be taught to be a truthful boy. A woman riding a hobby is apt to be even a greater bore than a man similarly engaged—possibly because she rides so fast and furiously. I warn you fairly. I am about to ride mine. With Darrell, that dear old tinker, whose heart was so full of human kindness and charity for the frailties of his kind, I most heartily agree that "Obedience is the first law of life." "That one thing life has to teach is: Obey." There are laws everywhere—laws of nature, God, man, self. We couldn't live without them. But they were made to be kept, not broken. Not too many should be imposed, for that tends to disregard for all. A child has an inborn right to the pursuit of happiness; but only so far as he does not infringe upon the rights of others. He might learn this by experience, but experience is a dear teacher at best, and often rather painful. It thus becomes the duty of parents and teachers to guard the little one lest he lose sight of life's aim in constant nursing of bumps. But he must be made to recognize your position—reasonably if he be nuisance that the city may abate is the decision of Judge Oster of San Bernardino, who tried the case of the city of Santa Ana against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. The city will be granted an injunction prohibiting the company from maintaining open cement ditches on East Seventeenth street and West Washington avenue. Judge Oster would not specify as to whether the irrigation company shall put the ditch underground or remove the ditch beyond the property line. Either method would abate the nuisance. Assurances have been given local people by Southern Pacific officials that if a right of way between Tustin and Santa Ana is secured a two-mile road will be built, thus completing a loop that rings the center of the county, and gasoline motor car service installed. The points touched on this loop would be Santa Ana, Tustin, El Modena, McPherson, Villa Park, Anaheim, Westminster, Wintersburg, Smeltzer, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Harper and Pollorino. Civic bodies of this city will invite Andrew Carnegie to visit this city and view the library. The supervisors have passed an ordinance making it necessary for all bees shipped into the county to be inspected. This is to protect the apiaries from the possible introduction of the European foul brood from Central California. Cecil Dubols and A. G. Thurston have brought suit against L. H. Padgham asking for $300 damages and for an injunction prohibiting him from getting out a city directory. The complaint states that Padgham on January 11 sold his interest in the Santa Ana directory company and signed an agreement not to go into the business in the county, and that he is now getting out another directory. Padgham is working with Jno. Fairley, Jr., who, he contends, is issuing the directory. The Orange County Beekeeper's club will ask the supervisors to pass ordinances requiring all bees brought into the county to be inspected and quarantining the county against the bees from counties where the European brood is known to exist. A brick building and a ten-acre ranch belonging to Theodore Kling estate was sold at auction under a trust deed agreement. C. E. French had a claim of $9250 against the estate. The brick building and the lot upon which it stands was sold to Oliver Halsell for $6200, and the ten-acre ranch lying in West Orange that period was $1,804,145.43. Receipts and Expenditures of Cities in California According to the tabulation of receipts and expenditures in 150 California cities and incorporated towns for the last fiscal year, completed by State Controller A. B. Nye, the small incorporated towns depend on a considerable extent on business licenses for their revenue, some of them drawing more money from that source than they do from property taxation. In the larger cities licenses cut proportionately a smaller figure. The total receipts reported were $47,106,307.55 of which $30,533,408.21 represented ordinary income and $16,572,899.34 consisted of receipts from sale of bonds. Of the ordinary receipts over 60 per cent or $18,599,332.86 came from the taxation of real and personal property; 12 per cent or $3,693,636.18 came from business and other licenses; a little less than 7 per cent or $2,126,-598.46 was from public utilities, such as water works, wharves and electric light plants; 14 per cent or $4,-332,301.46 is credited to fees, fines and miscellaneous receipts. Not too many should be imposed, for that tends to disregard for all. A child has an inborn right to the pursuit of happiness; but only so far as he does not infringe upon the rights of others. He might learn this by experience, but experience is a dear teacher at best, and often rather painful. It thus becomes the duty of parents and teachers to guard the little one lest he lose sight of life's aim in constant nursing of bumps. But he must be made to recognize your position—reasonably, if he be old enough to reason, because you are you, if not. An uncle of mine used to caution his wife, "Steer clear of the breakers," when questions of discipline presented themselves; meaning, of course, to place as few restrictions upon the child as possible. Well and good, but in our zeal, have not we overstepped ourselves. If the results of our modern psychological teaching prove as disastrous as the present indicates, we will be unable to steer clear—the breakers will engulf us. A child who from infancy is allowed to disregard the requests and demands of those whose duty it is to impose them, cannot be expected to exercise greater respect for the laws made for the help and protection of society. At best, he becomes an undesirable citizen, if not a legal law breaker. Closely allied to this, is that wholesome respect of youth for age which in this generation has become a lost art. The youth of the land have developed a prodigious bump of conceit, which makes impossible much respect for the opinions or positions of their elders. We see it in the jeer at the old man on the street; in the jostle of the grandmother; in the contempt for the request of the teacher who doesn't happen to be in "our school;" in open criticism of father, mother, teacher, minister. A brick building and a ten-acre ranch belonging to the Theodore Kling estate was sold at auction under a trust deed agreement. C. E. French had a claim of $9250 against the estate. The brick building and the lot upon which it stands was sold to Oliver Halsell for $6200, and the ten-acre ranch lying in West Orange to N. H. Leonard for $3400. The estate realized but $350 over the indebtedness. Suit for divorce has been begun by Zinetta G. Robertson against Ellis R. Robertson. Spring C.S. Examinations We have had many inquiries regarding the dates on which the U.S. Civil Service Examinations will be held in San Bernardino, and for the benefit of our students who are out of town, and all others who are interested, we are taking this means of giving the desired information. On March 16th and 17th an examination for Forest Clerks (men only) will be held; on March 21st one for Stenographers and Typewriters (both men and women), and on April 13th another for Bookkeepers. If you are coming into the city to take any of these examinations—or for any other purpose—don't fall to visit the San Bernardino Business College and Civil Service Institute. Your time will be well spent in going through this up-to-date school. Steinmesch Chamberlain And West Coast CHICKEN FOOD and Other Poultry Supplies AT H. A.
