Thursday, May 2 Roosevelt's Inconsistency Managers of the Taft campaign call attention to the inconsistency of Colonel Roosevelt as exhibited in his candidacy for the presidential nomination on the republican ticket. On various occasions before retiring from the White House three years ago, he made it known that he would neither seek nor accept a nomination for the office, he was about to relinquish at the hands of his party. There is plenty of documentary evidence to bear out this statement. Four years ago Mr. Roosevelt said, when asked if he would be a candidate for renomination: "The wise custom which limits the presidency to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate or accept another nomination." As late as August 18, 1911, Colonel Roosevelt wrote to A. P. Moore, publisher of the Pittsburg Leader, the following letter: "Dear Mr. Moore—I very greatly apreciate your friendly feelings, but I am sure you will understand me when I say that I must ask, not only you, but every friend I have, to see to it that no movement is made whatever to bring me forward for the nomination in 1912. I feel that I have a right to ask all my friends if necessary, actively to work to prevent any such a movement. I should esteem it a genuine calamity if such a movement were undertaken." In spite of these protestations, however, Colonel Roosevelt is fighting harder for the republican nomination than any aspirant was ever known to do in the history of the country. He is also using means that have been deprecated by high-minded men everywhere and which are bringing him into discredit wherever his candidacy has been projected. He has not only deluded his friends but he has betrayed the leaders of his party in seeking a nomination which he asserted he would not take under any circumstances. Probably the most injured and aggrieved of all the aspirants as a result of the colonel's inconsistency and treachery is Senator La Follette. Senator La Follette and his managers have documentary evidence to show that he entered the presidential race on the strength of the statement made by Roosevelt himself, that he would not be a candidate, and that he would take no part in the nomination of anyone.

Thurlow Weed that he must post passage of any Grant's administra resolution would Reciprocity With Canada Colonel Roosevelt, in his mad desire to be president a third time, is stopping short of nothing in his abuse and misrepresentation of President Taft, for whom he is more responsible than any other man in the country. In the farming countries that he visited in the present campaign Roosevelt railed against the reciprocity pact with Canada, which was one of the chief attainments of the present administration, with all the invective and vehemence at his command. His present attitude is in striking contrast with his utterances at the time the Canadian reciprocity treaty was before congress. While it was pending Roosevelt urged democrats and republicans alike to support the president in the accomplishment of what he regarded as one of the best evidences of mature statesmanship he had witnessed in years. In the course of a speech delivered at Grand Rapids, Michigan, Feb. 11, 1911, the Colonel said: "Here, friends in Michigan, right on the northern frontier, I have the peculiar right to say a word of congratulation to you and to all of us upon the likelihood that we shall soon have closer reciprocal trade and tariff relations with the great nation to the north of us. And I feel so pleased primarily because I wish to see the two peoples, the between Canada and the United States." In an address at Sioux City, Ia., Sept. 3, 1910, the colonel dwelt upon this question of reciprocity in the most emphatic language. The following is an excerpt from his speech furnished to the press by himself: "There is another feature of the tariff law and points our course in the right direction, the maximum and minimum provision, and here again the provision has depended largely I wish to point out that the value of upon the work done by the administration in the negotiations with the Dominion of Canada, which were the most difficult of all, and yet in my eyes the most important, because I esteem it of vital consequence that we should always be on relations of the highest friendship and good-will with our great and growing neighbor on the north." No better endorsement of President Taft's course on the Canadian reciprocity pact has been adduced than that given by Colonel Roosevelt during the time it was pending in congress and after it had been adopted by that body. Yet in spite of his emphatic approval he turned a complete somersault, politically speaking, and tried when speaking in Illinois and other farming countries, to belittle the very policies he had praised by saying they would be high. Thurlow Weed that he must post passage of any Grant's administrative resolution would access at the general said: "If they pay you must tell them else as their canceled If the Tribune did in what the veneer Weed had said, ititor, Whitelaw Released similar views. A few weeks publics of Newvention, and although nominations, under ex-Governor Fenton Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Charles E. Hughes Fred Conkling, Geothers, they resourced. "The presidency is a public treasure perquisite, and the third term of it." On this issue, democrat, and Genre republican, were elleutenant governor, which seems to change of 102,000 years, and that Nervously opposed to the presidency. General John F. elected governor of his merits as a officer by a republican, 34,368 in October; later the same state Grant a majority of second term of the Republican state 1874 Mr. Allison offered this resolu- "Resolved, That be a candidate for republican party would support him." Here, friends in Michigan, right on the northern frontier, I have the peculiar right to say a word of congratulation to you and to all of us upon the likelihood that we shall soon have closer reciprocal trade and tariff relations with the great nation to the north of us. And I feel so pleased primarily because I wish to see the two peoples, the Canadians and the American peoples, drawn together, by the closest ties on a footing of complete equality of interest and mutual respect. I feel that it should be one of the cardinal policies of this republic to establish the very closest relations of goodwill and friendship with the Dominion of Canada." Two days later Mr. Roosevelt delivered another speech on the same subject before the New York republican club at New York City on the occasion of its dinner on Lincoln day. In this speech he was more demonstrative in favor of the Canadian reciprocity pact, saying in part: "I want to say how glad I am at the way in which the members of the club here tonight responded to the two appeals made to them to uphold the hands of President Taft, in his effort to secure reciprocity with Canada, and in his effort to secure the fortification of the Panama canal. "And in addition to what has been said about Canada and reciprocity I would like to make this point: it should always be a cardinal point in our foreign policy to establish the closest and most friendly relations of equal respect and advantage with our great neighbor on the north. And I hail the reciprocity arrangement because it represents an effort to bring about a closer, a more intimate, a more friendly relationship of mutual advantage on equal terms be- No better endorsement of President Taft's course on the Canadian reciprocity pact has been adduced than that given by Colonel Rocsevelt during the time it was pending in congress and after it had been adopted by that body. Yet in spite of his emphatic approval he turned a complete somersault, politically speaking, and tried when speaking in Illinois and other farming countries, to belittle the very policies he had praised by saying they would be highly injurious to the agricultural interests of the nation. Nothing better shows the insincerity and instability of Colonel Roosevelt than his change of front on the reciprocity question for political purposes. In his speeches he not only shows the chameleon but he manifests the gross and grovelling politician who will not hesitate at character assassination to curry favor and support with the voters. HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE TIME The hotel was on fire, but the husband insisted that his wife should not leave their room until she was fully dressed. "We have plenty of time," he told her, "and I won't allow you to make such a spectacle of yourself as I've seen other women do in case of fire." He proceeded with his own dressing, urging his wife to neglect nothing. When she was fully dressed they left, and outside the burning building found the usual crowd in all stages of undress. Looking complacently at his wife, Mr. Jones remarked: "Now aren't you glad we took time to get dressed?" "Yes, dear," gently answered Mrs. Jones. "But I wish we'd waited just a minute longer so that you would have had time to put on your trousers." ANAHEIM GAZETTE THIRD TERM DANGER SIGNALS That the American people are irrevocably opposed to a third term of the presidency is evidenced by facts of comparatively recent occurrence, which demonstrate clearly that the trend of public opinion on this important matter is unmistakable, and the interpretation is as plain as anything could possibly be. A third term agitation for General Grant began almost immediately upon his election to a second term of the presidency. It started in New York, in which state the friends of Grant, in control of all the government offices, led by United States Senator Roscoe Conkling, adopted this declaration, written by Conkling: "Resolved, That the administration of General Grant has been distinguished for achievements in domestic and foreign policy unsurpassed in the history of the country." General John A. Dix had been elected governor of New York in 1872 by 51,825 republican plurality. As chief executive of the state he served the people with great ability, integrity and patriotism. Senator Conkling believed that the commanding prestige of Governor Dix would result in his re-election in 1874 by an increased plurality over that of 1872, even under the thinly veiled movement for a third term, thereby securely gaining the first point in the third term conspiracy. The patriotic General Dix was accordingly renominated. Thurlow Weed told General Dix that he must positively prohibit the passage of any resolution endorsing Grant's administration; that such a resolution would be fatal to his successor. FIFTY MILLION MELONS Imperial Valley Growers Will Reap Rich Harvest The growers of cantaloupes in the Imperial Valley estimate this season's production at 50,000,000 melons. Apparximately 5500 acres have been planted this spring, the yield, under normal conditions being computed at 50,000,000 melons, about 1,000,000 crates, or 2600 carloads. At least 30,000 tons of ice will be required for the shipping of this fruit to the markets of the country. The Southern Pacific, which handles practically all of this crop, is already beginning to assemble its refrigerator cars in that section. To get the melons to their various destinations in good condition necessitates considerable skill in packing the crated cantaloupes inside of the cars. In addition to seeking an attractive appearance in the arrangement of the fruit in the car, which appeals to the car-lot buyer when he inspects it at its destination, the shipper must see to it that the crates are securely fastened to prevent them from shifting and to see that they are loaded and packed as to allow free ventilation and refrigeration. The story of how the railroad has outgrown its swaddling clothes has been told hundreds of times, but here is a new one that comes from the Sacramento division of the Southern Pacific, of the horse that has outgrown its stall in the stable. This story, however, is about an iron horse and it refers particularly to the new, monster locomotives of the Southern Pacific company that haul the city. Mary E. Flannery of Monterey, Mex. and a niece and two nephews in Southport-Ind. STANTON WILL CELEBRATE Stanton chamber of commerce is planning for a barbecue and jubilee to mark the progress and development of that locality during the year that has passed since incorporation of the town. May 23d is the date for this event, and committees to look after all details of the preparation have been named by President W. H. Kennedy, Jr., as authorized at a meeting of the members held recently in the city hall at Stanton. A real big time is expected, and all plans will be made accordingly. City Trustees J. H. Bradford and F. J. Buntain returned Monday evening from a trip of several days in San Diego and Riverside counties. They arrived home too late for the regular meeting of trustees. prestige of Governor Dix would result in his re-election in 1874 by an increased plurality over that of 1872, even under the thinly veiled movement for a third term, thereby securely gaining the first point in the third term conspiracy. The patriotic General Dix was accordingly renominated. Thurlow Weed told General Dix that he must positively prohibit the passage of any resolution endorsing Grant's administration; that such a resolution would be fatal to his success at the general election, and he said: "If they persist in passing it you must tell them to get some one else as their candidate for governor." If the Tribune did not openly concur in what the venerable and sagacious Weed had said, its distinguished editor, Whitelaw Reid, personally expressed similar views to General Dix. A few weeks later the liberal republicans of New York met in convention, and although they made no nominations, under the inspiration of ex-Governor Fenton, General Merritt, Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Dorsheimer, Hon. Charles E. Hughes, Dr. Swinburne, Fred Conkling, General Cochrane and others, they resolved "That we declare our uncompromising hostility to any pretensions toward perpetuating power in the hands of the same person beyond a second term; such pretensions deserve, and should receive, the indignant condemnation of the people." A week or two later the democrats met in convention and declared: "The presidency of the United States is a public trust, not a private perquisite, and there should be no third term of it." On this issue, Samuel J. Tilden, democrat, and General Dorsheimer, a republican, were elected governor and lieutenant governor by 50,317 plurality, which seems to indicate a change of 102,000 votes in just two years, and that New York was irrevocably opposed to a third term of the presidency. General John F. Hartranft was elected governor of Pennsylvania on his merits as a soldier and public officer by a republican plurality of 34,368 in October, 1872. A month later the same state gave General Grant a majority of 135,000 for a second term of the presidency, but at the republican state convention in 1874 Mr. Allison of Juniata county, offered this resolution: "Resolved, That if General Grant be a candidate for a third term the republican party of Pennsylvania would support him." The story of how the railroad has outgrown its swaddling clothes has been told hundreds of times, but here is a new one that comes from the Sacramento division of the Southern Pacific, of the horse that has outgrown its stall in the stable. This story, however, is about an iron horse and it refers particularly to the new, monster locomotives of the Southern Pacific company that haul the heavy freight trains over the mountain divisions. On all of the mountain divisions where these new locomotives have been placed in operation it has been found that they are too large to fit into the stalls that had been built years ago for the locomotives of that period, therefore there is now before the officials of the railroad the problem of enlarging the stalls, and in some instances, the roundhouses. The length of these new Southern Pacific engines, including the tender, is nearly 106 feet. It has a tractive power of 94,880 pounds and weighs 616,100 pounds. The engineer's cab is located at the head of the locomotive, just the opposite from all other locomotives, for the purpose of enabling the engineer to see clearly and instantly, in rounding sharp curves in the mountainous sections.

WOMAN'S ESTATE IS $12,000 Joseph O'Donnell has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of his sister, Mrs. Cassie B. Montee, who was murdered with her husband by George Biggs on April 12. The estate is valued at $12,000, of which $7000 is real estate in Los Angeles, which was the separate property of Mrs. Montee, and the remainder in real estate, including the ranch east of this city, which was community property. In the estate is $1500 insurance on the life of F. A. Montee, the husband, which comes to the estate of the murdered woman because Montee died first.Montee was killed on the spot, and was dead before Mrs. Montee, rushing to him, was struck down by the shovel in Biggs' hands. Mr. and Mrs. Montee left no children. The heirs named in the petition are James Montee of Pittsburg, Kan., aged 80, father of the dead man, and three brothers of Mrs. Montee, they being Joseph O'Donnell of Anaheim, Charles O'Donnell of Fullerton, and Arthur O'Donnell of Indianapolis, Ind., one sister, Mrs. A P'ea for road improvement was presented by R. Holtby Myers of the townsite company in a brief talk to the board and the city was asked to undertake the oiling of all the principal streets and roads with the understanding that the work of grading and preparing for oil will be done by property owners. This policy was approved by P. A. Stanton, W. H. Kennedy Jr. and other prominent taxpayers, and the board was urged to levy a tax sufficient to meet the expense of such improvement. After a general discussion of the situation all of the large number of citizens present appearing to favor the movement, the board decided to levy a tax for all purposes of the city government for the coming year of one dollar on the hundred valuation. Instructions were given for the city attorney to prepare an ordinance covering the levy of the tax in accordance with this plan. The city assessment will be made in June, and taxes will be payable at the same time as county taxes.
