QUIT KICKING THE DOG AROUND There is a noticeable feeling of hopefulness prevalent among the republican senators and members of the house of representatives that has not been observed since the democratic victory of 1910. It is everywhere admitted that the platform to be adopted at the Chicago convention next month will be thoroughly progressive yet conservatively progressive, and will be such a one as will appeal to the business men of the country and that the republican nominee on that platform will receive the full republican vote—east, west, north and south. It will be recalled that in 1872 the republican party was also seriously divided—and it was feared that the national ticket would be defeated, so serious was the split before the national convention, but the republican party is fortunate enough in that while it often fights hard within itself before the convention, yet after the national ticket is nominated all hands as a rule get together and pull hard for the election as they did in 1872, and it is believed this will be the case in 1912. It is time to get together; time to quit kicking that dog around. NEW MASONIC TEMPLE Y.M.C.A. Will Occupy Basement of Building At a meeting of the Masonic lodge on Monday evening negotiations were entered into with representatives of the Y.M.C.A., whereby the latter will occupy the basement of the Masonic temple to be erected on East Center street. The Y.M.C.A. had in contemplation the erection of a building on South Philadelphia street, but will cooperate with the Temple association. A natatorium, gymnasium, assembly room and offices will be provided in the basement for use of the association. The following board of directors of the Temple association was chosen: Wm. Falkenstein, Chas. Eygabroad, Joseph Helmsen, J. F. Walker, A. Nagle. James Enearl and E. L. Goodrich were added to the building committee. Christian Church Notes. Where is the Christlan Church? Where handshakes greet you at the door And every turn brings one shake more: The whole concern seems glad you've come: Don't thereby be yourself struck dumb: Where no one leaves you in the lurch By holding back—there's the Christian Church. Where is the Christian Church? Where burdens grow a little lighter, Dark hours wax a trifle brighter, Sin and sinners part the while Benaath the great Sin Bearer's smile Where folks for souls so forth to search. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Open Bids for Construction Street Bride The Board of Supervisors day received bids for construction of the proposed bridge, two sets of ferred the contractors Thomas & Post and Maybury & Parker. En under consideration The bids were: Chas. 215; C. H. Deacon, S. Hogue, $18,189; and Stone Construction Co., $21,896; Mercereau Construction Co., $20,540; E. T. Wheeler, $25,000. The $10,000 school Yorba Linda school sold to J. H. Adams & geles, on a bid of $10. The California Nat Santa Ana was awarded bonds of the Ocean District on a bid of $13,000 Co. bid $70. The board granted Southern Pacific to thorpe avenue for a convenience of the factory and to cross at Los Alamitos for the loss of the Los Alamitos. The sum of $5 was amount to be paid for public buildings except Permits for laying county roads were given Mayes, M. B. Allen Neil, all of Garden City Mueller of Santa Ana. The board passed an ing that there be EDITORIAL SPARKS Santa Ana got the barbecue, but Anaheim got the cup. A life prisoner at Stillwater, Minn., refuses to accept freedom. The poor fellow has been reading about the Taft-Roosevelt struggle, the high cost of living, the Mississippi floods and the suffragist parade until he feels safer where he is. Some men would not go to a baseball game unless the players were all statuesque blondes in pink tights and ballet skirts. There's one good thing about a last year's straw, it doesn't smell like moth balls. In this age of high living it is difficult to see just what the merchants will sell us for these new half cent pieces. "Dewdabs" slang for kisses, has been banished from the Wellesley vocabulary, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the quaint old custom itself will die out. A poor New Mexico sheepherd dropped through a mound into a prehistoric house the other day, but most of us never realize our dreams of falling into a good piece of property. The recent report in Washington, that a man was crawling up the side of the 555 ft. Washington Monument was generally credited, as recent political events have indicated that some men will attempt anything. A Philadelphia explorer has gone to Brazil to obtain moving pictures of a boa constrictor, but we are inclined to think that the films will show some pictures of the Phila. explorer.

SILKWORMS Last April the pupils of the Fremont school received some 200 silkworm eggs from County Supt. of Schools Mitchell for study along with agriculture. They have grown very rapidly and have consumed large quantities of mulberry leaves. At the present time they are spinning their cocoons of yellow silk on the twigs placed in a box. They have changed from black to a light grey color. For a time they seemed to be asleep, but were only shedding their skin, coming out hungrier than ever. The fifth time they emerged they were no longer worms, but tiny white moths and will soon lay their eggs and die. Such is a moth's cycle of life. Y.M.C.A. MEETING All members of the Y.M.C.A., all who have contributed in any way to the building fund, and all persons interested in the Y.M.C.A., will please meet in the Board of Trade rooms, on Monday evening, June 3, at 8 p.m. to consider matters of importance, as submitted by the building committee. L. O. Culp, Pres., Y.M.C.A. CARD OF THANKS The undersigned desire to express their heartfelt thanks to all for many acts of sympathetic kindness and for assistance in the hour of their bereavement, consequent upon the illness and death of husband and father; with especial thanks to members of the Concordia Singing Society and to Crowther's Cadet Band. Mrs. C. Schindler and Family. Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKee spent Sunday at Ocean Park and Venice.

Will that democratic free breakfast table include a third cup of coffee. Won't some one please furnish Col. Watterson with a dictator?

HELMSEN BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Open Bids for Construction of Fifth Street Bridge The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday received bids for the construction of the proposed West Fifth St. bridge, two sets of plans being offered by contractors, one drawn by Thomas & Post and the other by Maybury & Parker. Bids were taken under consideration until June 5. The bids were: Chas. Steffgen, $16,215; C. H. Deacon, $19,650; R. L. Hogue, $18,189; and $19,150; Putnam Stone Construction Co., $22,896 and $21,896; Mercereau Bridge and Construction Co., $20,540 and $19,990; E. T. Wheeler, $25,000. The $10,000 school bonds of the Yorba Linda school district were sold to J. H. Adams & Co. of Los Angeles, on a bid of $141 premium. The California National Bank of Santa Ana was awarded the $10,000 bonds of the Ocean View school district on a bid of $138.50. J. H. Adams Co. bid $70. The board granted permits to the Southern Pacific to cross Orange-thorpe avenue for a spur track for convenience of the Anaheim Sugar factory and to cross Myrtle avenue at Los Alamitos for the convenience of the Los Alamitos sugar factory. The sum of $5 was fixed as the amount to be paid for election booths public buildings excepted. Permits for laying pipelines across county roads were granted to B. J. Mayes, M. B. Allen and H. H. McNeil, all of Garden Grove, and Chas. Mueller of Santa Ana. The board passed a resolution asking that there be provided state MR. WHALEN WRITES Expresses Words of Appreciation for Reception Here W. H. Whalen, division superintendent of the Southern Pacific, writes the following letter to J. W. Duckworth, in acknowledgment of his appreciation of courtesy shown him on his recent visit here: Los Angeles, Cal., May 28, '12. Mr. J. W. Duckworth, Anaheim. Mr. Dear Sir: I am indeed glad that Anaheim succeeded in winning the cup at Stanton. In fact it could go to no place that would please me more. Here I want to express my thanks and appreciation individually and on behalf of this company, for the favors extended by the board of trade through you, to us during our recent visit to Anaheim, and sincerely hope and feel that such relations may continue, and they will if we are guided by the proper spirit. There is everything for us to win by a continuation of such relations, and everything to lose by failing to have them continued. Yours very truly, W. H. Whalen. The Stanton silver loving cup is on exhibition at the S.Q.R. Store. It makes a very fine appearance. ANARCHISTS DEPORTED Former I.W.W. Prisoner in Santa Ana Jail Ordered Out of Country Two anarchists and haters of the flag, Abraham Joseph Dumont, Frenchman, and Albert Wilson, were ordered deported by the Federal authorities. Dumont will be taken Galveston, Tex., sailing from that port Saturday for Bordeaux; Wilson to SPEED OF BATTED BALLS. In Hard Infield Hits They Go at the Rate of Sixty Miles an Hour. Ask any fan how fast an average grounder travels during its first hundred feet from the bat, and his answer will be anywhere from 20 to 200 miles an hour. Split second watches and careful timing of many ground balls have established the fact that the average speed of many ground balls—that is, those struck by the bat of the batsman from a fair pitched ball, which strike the infield before they land in a fielder's hands—go at the rate of almost sixty miles an hour. Sixty miles an hour is eighty-eight feet per second. The bases are ninety feet apart. A man who can run 100 yards in eleven seconds, which is fast running for any one, but particularly so for a man with baseball shoes and uniform on, can run ninety feet in 8.3 seconds. Is it any wonder that a ball which is fielded in its first 100 feet of travel usually reaches first base just a fraction of a second before or after the runner sets foot upon it? Every fan knows that the many close decisions at first base form one of the fascinations of the game. The speed of a batted ball, the speed at which a fielder can travel from his position to the point where he can meet and field the batted ball, the speed with which he can stop the ball, pick it up, set himself for the throw, make the throw, the speed of the ball across the diamond from his throw and the speed of the traveling runners are so nicely balanced that it is always a question of whether or not the runner will get there in time for the crowd to see the umpire's hands go down or whether he will face a thumb over a shoulder indicating that he is out—Technical World Magazine. THE STORE PROPERTY ROOM. WORK AT SUGAR MILL Enlarging Capacity from 600 to 800 Tons Daily One hundred men are employed at the sugar factory enlarging its capacity from 600 tons of beets daily to 800. Among new machinery installed is a large diffusion battery, triple effect evaporators, maguin cutter, four crystillizers and enlargements to pulp dryer. Dr. Murke, the new superintendent is daily at the mill, giving personal attention to installing the new machinery. A. R. Peck, president of the company, was here on Monday from Los Angeles. George Biggs, slayer of F. A. Montee and Mrs. Montee, was in court on Tuesday morning with his attorney, Clyde Bishop. Biggs pleaded not guilty to each of the two murder charges against him, and one case was set for trial on July 8 and the other on July 10. Biggs is showing the strain of prison life. He appears even more haggard than when he was first imprisoned. A merry party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Combs, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Scenery, Mr. and Mrs. E. Saunders, Miss Zoe Thomson and Wm. Hart enjoyed an outing at Orange county park on Sunday. Capt. Williams, Mr. Troutmann, Mrs. Albright, Mrs. Duncan and Mrs. Brown went to Orange county park exhibition at the S.Q.R. Store. It makes a very fine appearance. ANARCHISTS DEPORTED Former I.W.W. Prisoner in Santa Ana Jail Ordered Out of Country Two anarchists and haters of the flag, Abraham Joseph Dumont, Frenchman, and Albert Wilson, were ordered deported by the Federal authorities. Dumont will be taken to Galveston, Tex., sailing from that port Saturday for Bordeaux; Wilson to New Orleans, whence he sails for Southampton. Inspector Collins of the immigration service and Detective Davis of the Los Angeles police accompanied the pair, who were placed in irons, to see that they were safely delivered. Dumont was one of the early rioters in San Diego, and when the jail in that city became overcrowded with I.W.W.'s he with others was taken to the county jail in Santa Ana. A complaint was sworn out against him by Immigration Commissioner Connell, charging him with being an alien unlawfully in the country. Dumont admitted the charge, and shouting that he not only was an alien, but an anarchist as well. "To hell with the dirty American flag," he yelled. He gloried in the fact that he was opposed to all law and order and gladly accepted the orders of deportation, declaring that he would come back as soon as possible. Dumont is a well educated French Jew, and according to advices received by the government officials, was among the leaders in a number of labor demonstrations in France before coming to this country. He admitted that he had come to the United States to take part in the fight against law and order. Wilson was arrested in San Diego on a similar charge and brought here by Inspector Chaffin. He admitted that he is an anarchist and is an I.W.W."public speaker." He has been in jail for some time on a vagrancy charge. Mark Twain and the Ministry. Orion Clemens thought of the ministry, an ambition which his brother Sam shared with him for a time. Every mischievous boy has it, sooner or later—though not all for the same reasons. "It was the most earnest ambition I ever had." Mark Twain once remarked thoughtfully. "Not that I ever really wanted to be a preacher, but because it never occurred to me that a preacher could be damned. It looked like a safe job."—Albert Bigelow Paine in Harper's Magazine. THE STORE PROPERTY ROOM. Holds Articles For Use In Window and Special Displays. Every one has heard of the theoretical property room—the place where storied artificialities are laid carefully away to be ready for the call of the next emergency. But few persons know that every big store has its property room, too, and that its wonders are even more entrancing than those of the funny cupboards "back stage." The shop's property room is filled with articles used for window display and special decorations, and, while the theoretical property is largely imitation, the store's property is real. Rare old tapestries are laid away in the dim hidden chamber, to be used when occasion requires as backgrounds for Paris hats in the Broadway or Fifth avenue windows, as draperies hung beside a choice collection of new hand bags or slippers or fans. Priceless vases from Italy, strange carved chests, wonderful screens—all these lend enchantment to the background of the window display or bring a real intrinsic loveliness to the salon wherein is shown the season's newest millinery. Many a fashionable New York shop decorates its windows now and then with but one hat, one costume, one piece of furniture. The rest is decoration, background, "property." The property room is almost always in some queer, faraway corner of the store, a room badly lighted, well nigh inaccessible. But it is full of treasures. It calls back the atmosphere of medieval romance. It is comparable only to an ancient English attic—New York Times. Why There Was No Tip. In a downtown restaurant which is usually crowded during the midday meal time a waiter took pains to secure places at one of his tables for two men who had been waiting for some time. The waiter received the thanks of both men and attended to their wants in a highly satisfactory manner. When the check was presented one of the men paid, received the change and left nothing on the salver for the waiter. "You forgot to tip the waiter," said his companion. "No, I didn't. He's my landlord."—New York Tribune. A merry party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Combs, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Scenery, Mr. and Mrs. E. Saunders, Miss Zoe Thomson and Wm. Hart enjoyed an outing at Orange county park on Sunday. Capt. Williams, Mr. Troutmann, Mrs. Albright, Mrs. Duncan and Mrs. Brown went to Orange county park on Friday and from there to Laguna Beach.

Many people are going without glasses who are ruining their sight by doing so. Don't you be one of them. If your eyes trouble you the least bit come and see me and be advised properly. Your eyesight is too precious to be slighted. My prices are very reasonable. Examinations at any time to suit you. Theo, Roberts Graduate Optometrist 113 E. Center St. Anaheim, Cal.

Old Wall Street. Wall street in the days when Washington was the first president of the United States, when Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were rivals at the bar, was perhaps the most popular and populous thoroughfare in New York. It was so named because it followed the line of the city's first defensive stockade or "wall," and throughout its length were enacted many scenes that are part of the nation's larger history. Christian Herald. Didn't Get Even the Brick. "Did that man hand you a gold brick?" "I should say not," answered the amateur financier. "He sold me an interest in the gold brick on credit and took a mortgage on that, together with everything else I owned. Then he called the loan and foreclosed the mortgage and took possession of the gold brick, along with the rest."—Washington Star. The Power of Beauty. "Brown's wife is a beautiful woman, isn't she?"

"I wouldn't drink out of that cup," said little Johnnie to the well dressed young stranger, "that's Bessie's cup, and she's very particular who drinks out of it."
