Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation THOSE FEDERAL SHIPS AGAIN The untruthful charge made by Franklin Hichborn against Mr. Stanton, that he voted against the federal-ships bill in the last legislature, has been so effectually set at naught in these columns that it is hardly worth while referring to it again; but we entertain such high regard for Arthur Pillsbury, editor of the California Weekly, who has done more than any other one man in the state to deify Hichborn and place him upon a pedestal above his fellows, and who, it would seem, has been led into error by this absurd charge, that we feel ourselves impelled to refer to the matter briefly once more. In the California Weekly of Saturday last Mr. Pillsbury writes: "The United States government maintains a line of steamships between New York and the Panama canal, thus affording a great advantage to eastern dealers in furnishing supplies for the construction of the canal. Western men started a move these preambles was to strike out the eulogium of Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas, and substitute therefor the names of Senator Flint and Congressman McLachlan of California, who had recently introduced in congress bills appropriating $10,000,000 for establishing and maintaining this line of federal ships; the only other change was the striking out of a bit of verbiage against the Pacific Mail, which was not substantiated by the democratic senator making it. Otherwise the Sanford resolution passed without change. Stanton voted for it. H voted to reject the two preambles until they had the desired changes made in them, and he voted in favor of them when they had been so amended. The other six preambles and all the three resolutions embodied in the Sanford bill were not changed. Will Mr. Pillsbury look this matter up and inform himself upon this subject, which is one of the issues of the campaign? As he indicates in his article, the Gazette has said, and says again, that if Stanton voted against this federal-ships bill, he is not fit to be governor of California. Will Mr. Pillsbury be as frank and fair? Will he say, if he finds that Stanton voted in favor of the Sanford bill (as amended in these two preambles)—will he say as much in the columns of the California Weekly? Will he give Stanton a square deal?

Western men started a movement to have the government establish a similar line of steamships running from Seattle to Panama, by way of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc., and, to this end, there were introduced into the state senate of California by Senator Sanford, a series of resolutions relating to the then recent advance of transcontinental rates, protesting against the same, and addressed to our representatives in congress. Among these resolutions were the following: "Resolved, That we request the congress of the United States to speedily give consideration to the report of the Hon. Joseph L. Bristow, special Panama railroad commissioner, as submitted by him to President elect Taft, and that we recommend the speedy establishment of the line (referred to in that report) at as early a date as possible in order that relief may be afforded to the manufacturers, merchants and producers of this state; and, "Resolved, That we denounce the arrangement made by the Pacific Mail steamship company with the transcontinental lines whereby they have never solicited any of this through business, and urge our representatives in congress to give this matter their immediate time and attention." "These resolutions passed the state senate without a dissenting vote and went to the assembly over which P. A. Stanton presided for concurrence, where, on motion of Johnson of Sacramento, the two resolves given above were stricken out of the series on a vote of 43 to 30, the speaker voting to strike them out. If the senate had concurred in the assembly amendments to strike out these two resolves, for which striking-out Mr. Stanton had voted, that would have been the end of the matter and the legislature of California would have lifted no voice in favor of a government line of steamers on the Pacific coast. But the senate refused to concur and a conference committee was fair? Will he say, if he finds that Stanton voted in favor of the Sanford bill (as amended in these two preambles)—will he say as much in the columns of the California Weekly? Will he give Stanton a square deal? THAT PROPOSED CONFERENCE The suggestion which emanates from machine republicans of the north, that a state conference of republicans be called to endorse candidates for state offices, meets with distrust and disapproval on the part of republicans of the south. It is fitting to observe at this point that Mr. Stanton has shown his independence of the machine in no manner more thoroughly than when he announced that he will not attend such conference if called, and that he will ask his friends and supporters to remain out of it. Inasmuch as the south is rallying solidly to the support of Mr. Stanton, it is doubtful if any numerous body of representatives from the southern counties will attend; and it is more than probable that such conference will prove a boomerang to the man it endorses for governor. The fate of the candidates named by the Los Angeles machine conference last year is recalled, when it is remembered that every candidate endorsed met with defeat at the polls. The proposed conference is undoubtedly called in the interest of either Mr. Anderson or Mr. Curry. Whichever one of these gentlemen shows the greatest element of strength will probably be endorsed by the railroad machine. The conference seeks to make puppets of the party for the bosses. Republicans of the south want none of it. The primary election August 16 will be good enough for the rank and file of the party. Let the people rule. THE EQUALIZATION DISTRICTS Too much stress cannot be put upon the fact that the state of California will be redistricted after the federal census this year, and that new lines will be laid for the four equalization districts, now so unevenly divided. The south, instead of having a single representative upon the board, should have two, in which event no more such jabs as was administered by the state board of equalization last year will be possible.

If the senate had concurred in the assembly amendments to strike out these two resolves, for which striking-out Mr. Stanton had voted, that would have been the end of the matter and the legislature of California would have lifted no voice in favor of a government line of steamers on the Pacific coast. But the senate refused to concur and a conference committee was appointed. Here, again, the speaker showed his unfavorable attitude toward the government line of steamers by appointing Johnson and Transue on this conference committee, Drew being the only man that could be relied on to stand for it. However, the free conference committee reported the Sanford resolutions with the two resolves placed back in them and then it was, and not until then, that Stanton voted for them. He had been beaten and there was nothing to do but take his medicine and he took it. For verification of this statement reference is made to the amended assembly journal, page 772. This issue becomes important because it has been denied that Stanton opposed the adoption of these resolutions, the denial coming from one who conceded that if he had opposed them Stanton would thereby have proved his unfitness to be governor. The record is in black and white and can not be explained away." Printed upon the third page of our last week's issue will be found the Sanford resolutions entire. Composing the resolution were eight "preambles" and three "resolutions." We hope Mr. Pillsbury will look this matter up, and inform himself upon the subject. Only two of these "preambles" were changed—they were not "resolutions." The rest of the Sanford resolution remained intact. The only change made in one of Too much stress cannot be put upon the fact that the state of California will be redistricted after the federal census this year, and that new lines will be laid for the four equalization districts, now so unevenly divided. The south, instead of having a single representative upon the board, should have two, in which event no more such jabs as was administered by the state board of equalization last year will be possible. The Fourth district comprises, as has already been pointed out, a territorial area one-third larger than the three other districts combined, and its assessed valuation and voting strength are greater than the three other districts combined. Yet our single representative upon the board is outvoted by his northern associates (the solid three of the state board of equalization) and an unjust and arbitrary raise in our values of $321,500,000 imposed upon us. Of this raise, Orange county was made to bear $10,000,000. Is it not time that Southern California named the governor? With a governor from the south in the governor's chair, an equitable adjustment of the lines of equalization districts will be made, and no more such intolerable jabs as is here referred to will be possible. Is it not time to cease talking about the Party Circle fol-de-rol, the Non-Partisan Judiciary humbug, and the other trivialities that have been sprung in this campaign, and to face the greater issue now before the people of the state—the unjust division of the state into equalization districts which do not equalize our taxes, but clinch us instead?

No A COURAGEOUS AND KEEN-VIS-AGED MAN It would appear that the Lincoln-Roosevelters of Orange county, who for a year past have deified Franklin Hichborn as the exemplar of all the political virtues, have at last come to regard his "charges" against Speaker Stanton, for voting "five times wrong on reform measures," as being "on the bum." Mr. Stanton's vote upon the Party Circle bill and the Non-Partisan Judiciary bill have been shown to meet with the unqualified approval of the party. His vote denying second reading to the bill seeking to abolish the Party Circle, which is one of the five charges made against him by Hichborn, is brushed aside in the approval of his course in standing for the Party Circle. The "gag-rule" charge is the merest nonsense, for Mr. Stanton himself amended the rules to meet the approval of republican members of the assembly—all except Grove L. Johnson, who stood for the original draft of the temporary rules. Stanton's vote for the Leeds' amendment to the Direct Primary bill is also sustained by his party, and so far from voting against the federal ships, the record shows that he voted squarely in their favor. These five Hichborn "charges" have been shown to be tommyrot, and are so regarded by all right-thinking men in Orange county, as elsewhere in the State of California. A number of Lincoln-Roosevelters have informed us that these "charges" are altogether without merit—that they are, so to speak, "on the bum." So be it. Another single "charge"" lags at the heels of the procession—Stanton's ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR THE ASSEMBLY The consensus of opinion of a number of leading republicans in the northern portion of Orange county is that another candidate for the assembly will be brought out, and his name will probably be announced in a few days. Of the two candidates now in the field, Col. Coulter is a supporter of Hiram Johnson for governor, while Clyde Bishop favors Curry's nomination. As it is confidently predicted that Orange county will be overwhelmingly for Stanton, it is pointed out that a man more in harmony with his candidacy than either gentleman now in the field should be nominated and elected. Moreover, both candidates are residents of Santa Ana, which city has now more than its just share of candidates for county office. To nominate the larger portion of the party's candidates from the county seat would, in the judgment of many republicans, be not only a political mistake of the first magnitude, but it would show up the political workings of the new primary law in bad fashion. The names of Assemblyman Melrose and C. C. Chapman have been mentioned in connection with this nomination. Mr. Melrose some months ago declined to permit the use of his name, and Mr. Chapman's inclinations are not in line with the ideas of republicans who would place him in the running. Either gentleman could be nominated, and would grace the lower house at Sacramento. If both persist in declining, another candidate will probably be brought out. That Santa Ana has grown rapidly is shown by the fact that the city council deems it necessary to enlarge the water system. The present reservoir of a capacity of 1,300,000 gallons holds no more than the city uses in a day's time. It was decided to buy fifteen lots on Olive street from Mrs. Lottle Grouard. Half of these are taken up with an old brickyard pit. The city buys the property for $2000. The hole in the ground is just what the city wants, as an excavation for the proposed reservoir would cost $4000. The annual meeting of the Orange county bankers' association was held at Huntington Beach on Tuesday evening. W. B. Tedford of Santa Ana was elected president, and John Hartung of this city vice president. Among those present from this city were Adolph Thomas and wife and Charley Boege and wife. Sixty people were in attendance. Mr. Thomas was honored by being suggested for the office of president of the association, but he declined. Don't take chances with your eyes.

These five Hichborn "charges" have been shown to be tommyrot, and are so regarded by all right-thinking men in Orange county, as elsewhere in the State of California. A number of Lincoln-Roosevelters have informed us that these "charges" are altogether without merit—that they are, so to speak, "on the bum." So be it. Another single "charge"' lags at the heels of the procession—Stanton's effort three years ago to sever Bay City and a portion of the coast strip from Orange county and annex it to Los Angeles. What are the facts? Mr. Stanton and his company at Bay City had paid into the Orange county treasury no less than $25,000 in taxes, and had not received in return a penny for police protection, for roads, bridges or school facilities. The people of Huntington Beach were also desirous to secede, for reasons perfectly well known to every citizen of the county. However, when Mr. Stanton was assured that he would in future be given a square deal, the division measure was tabled, and all effort to pass it was withdrawn. Against this "charge," what is there to be said in his favor, from a purely Orange-county standpoint? He resolutely opposed the Black and Johr son irrigation bills, which were aimed at confiscation of irrigators' rights in this county and throughout the state. These bills were the most important in the last legislature so far as Orange county was concerned. They were promptly killed by the speaker. He stood against the attempted grab of Newport harbor by private interests, and for the capping of artesian wells by the gun clubs—two measures of no little importance to this county. He saved the state nearly $400,000 on the pending sale of the Los Angeles normal school. Three years ago a bill was carried through the legislature by the machine providing for the sale of this property for $200,000. He prevailed upon Gov. Pardee to vote the measure, and a year ago passed a bill providing for its sale at not less than $500,000. The normal school trustees have today an offer of $583,000 for the property, and it is believed $600,000 will be secured for it. He saved the state $16,000 in salaries of employees and attaches in the last legislature, and he cut the mileage of junketers from 10 cents to 6 cents per mile, allowing members a The names of Assemblyman Melrose and C. C. Chapman have been mentioned in connection with this nomination. Mr. Melrose some months ago declined to permit the use of his name, and Mr. Chapman's inclinations are not in line with the ideas of republicans who would place him in the running. Either gentleman could be nominated, and would grace the lower house at Sacramento. If both persist in declining, another candidate will probably be brought out. Orange county will not support a man for the legislature who is not in harmony with its favorite candidate for governor, and it would be politically unwise to send either to Sacramento in the event of Stanton's election—of which, we may be permitted to say, there is now very little doubt. Some weeks ago the report went the rounds of the Lincoln-Roosevelt papers that Stanton had the support of only one paper in Orange county—that of this journal. A more accurate count of these newspapers would seem to indicate that Stanton has the support, not only of this newspaper, but of five other papers in Orange county as well, with one Johnson and one Curry supporter showing signs of a desire to get into the band wagon, and one other engaged with the bellyache in the back alley. The Santa Ana trustees have adopted plans for building a new outfall for the sewer system of that city. The city attorney was instructed to prepare resolutions looking to a bond election to raise the necessary funds. The attorney and Sewer Superintendent Reid were appointed to secure a right of way from the foot of Baker street to the edge of the San Joaquin ranch. From that point it is proposed to take the outfall over the Irvine company's lands to the narrows between the upper and lower bays of Newport. The outfall will cost $35,000, exclusive of rights of way. The present outfall cannot be reached from all points of the city. All kinds of street and ornamental trees, Cypress, Guavas and Ferns.
