Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. SOME BULL MOOSE MISREPRESENTATIONS The extent to which the Bull Moose cult affects even the ordinary obligation to state facts correctly is well illustrated in the last number of the Literary Digest—a magazine which pretends to give an impartial resume of current happenings and opinions. The Digest in common with all the periodicals which have an interest in revenging themselves upon President Taft for his proposal to make them pay higher postal rates to the end that he might give the American people 1-cent letter postage, is Bull Moose in its sympathies and invariably selects quotations from exchanges which will set Mr. Roosevelt's eccentric tactics off to the best advantage; but as a rule facts are not distorted. In the number dated September 14, however, the Digest deliberately falsifies the result of the California primary, stating that the "progressives" carried a majority of the congressional districts; whereas, as we all know there were seven regular Taft republicans nominated, two noncommittal, and two straight out Bull Moosers in a total of 11 districts. And in the two large districts in which the ablest of the Bull Moose leaders ran, they were decisively beaten by Joseph R. Knowland and Charles F. Curry on the straight issue of party regularity. It is pretty small business on the part of a professedly nonpartisan review so to misstate facts, and to cite a congressional primary in which the FOR GOOD ROADS, Voters of Orange county will on November 4 have opportunity for casting their ballots in favor of $1,270,000 in bonds for the construction of a system of Federal roads throughout the county. The election proclamation embodying the call for the election will be found published on the seventh page of this issue, and is commended to the careful perusal of our readers. The county highway commission has approved plans for building 107 miles of roads in the county, and all sections have been treated with equal fairness. The main highway through the county, running through this city, Fullerton and Santa Ana has been omitted from their estimates, for the reason that the high way will be constructed by the state highway commission. This road will run from the Los Angeles to the San Diego county line, a distance of 50 miles or more and will cost probably a half million dollars. The bonds now submitted to the people for their approval are for construction of laterals and should meet with cordial endorsement on life part of the people. The bonds should be voted to the end that Orange county may have a system of good roads. Our roads stand in need of such improvement, in fact we have heard much of their unsatisfactory condition to travelers. We have the means at our hands now for remedying this evil and we trust the bonds will be approved. The state highway commission will without doubt, begin work upon the main highway through the county in the not distant future and we there were seven regular Taft republicans nominated, two noncommittal, and two straight out Bull Moosers in a total of 11 districts. And in the two large districts in which the ablest of the Bull Moose leaders ran, they were decisively beaten by Joseph R. Knowland and Charles F. Curry on the straight issue of party regularity. It is pretty small business on the part of a professedly nonpartisan review so to misstate facts, and to cite a congressional primary in which the Bull Moosers were routed completely as a cheering indication that this state has ratified the desperate and dishonest attempt to steal the electoral vote. Californians can judge from this how much importance to attach to the claims of the Bull Moose gains in the East, exemplified by the assertions of Bull Moose organs that the colonel won a great victory in Vermont, whereas his candidate ran a bad third, polling but 15,000 votes, as against 20,000 republican and 20,000 democratic votes. POWERFUL ARGUMENT AGAINST THEIR ELECTION The wrath of Colonel Roosevelt was stirred to white heat at Springfield and Joplin, Mo., by the sight of voters wearing Taft badges. He denounced them as "dishonest men, unfit to associate with honest men." He asserted that any one who wore such a badge had "a yellow streak," and "stood on a level with the receiver of stolen goods." That is certainly a dignified and becoming manner of discussing national questions. That is surely a fair and mainly acknowledgment that citizens of a free country may honestly and in good faith hold opposite political opinion. That is the sort of language to elevate an American presidential campaign in the eyes of the peoples of other nations. Both the colonel and his understudy, Governor Johnson, have become unusually bitter and reckless in their speeches within the last few days. The truth is that the third term party's campaign has collapsed in all the great states of the East. It is clear enough now that it will end in a ridiculous flasco in November. And Roosevelt and Johnson are beside themselves with disappointment. Rage has overthrown prudence and even ordinary decency of language. They act more like men infuriated than like men who have appeals to make to the sober judgment of their fellow citizens. The least consideration should show Mr. Roosevelt that many millions of his countrymen will vote for Mr. Taft. Boy (exhibiting the laurel thought you catched 'em waving) "There isn't one man who would be so mean to children as you are," rwife, bitterly. "Now that mire in you, dear," ventured band, slowly—"you have no figure." "They say you can read handwriting," remarked teller of an important brace Harlem, "and I dare say I read more in the extra written on checks that I the bank than I do in these had a sample check too drawn by a saloonkeeper the margin he had written Prohibition every time." The check indicated a problem. The fact that he did most his name suggested that he worked or pressed for this nature of the inscription of a lively sense of humility sort. Another cheek line: "I hate to let go wager something that thou jolly chap and a good conde meanest citizen that this sort of literature—are numerous—is the divorce periodically writes across drawn in his ex-wife's favour 'For alimony,' so as to e-mail in presenting it anywhere to be kicked, you know." Nightwatchman Westange stopped two Los Angeles other night when they short cut through a close drove their automobile walk. East Chapman ave Orange and the Plaza is being paved. The driver he would take a chance walk, but encountered The officer stopped the police's name. He would appear in court. Two Mexicans and a producer used usual results on Friday. The outcome is one man in the house wounded from the blows one man in jail. Santiago man in the hospital.

Molina began host big knife and a dagger elbow blade, while his father the ax. The latter had the argument and cracked the head. Molina retreata couple of razors, but took him and cut him deep the ax penetrating to the lina will recover, although and should meet with cordial endorsement on the part of the people. The bonds should be voted to the end that Orange county may have a system of good roads. Our roads stand in need of such improvement, in fact we have heard much of their unsatisfactory condition to travelers. We have the means at our hands now for remedying this evil and we trust the bonds will be approved. The state highway commission will without doubt, begin work upon the main highway through the county in the not distant future and we should see to it that lateral roads are also constructed as mapped out and approved by the county highway commission. FACES OF FAMOUS MEN A list of famous men whose faces will adorn the fronts of greenbacks in the future has been completed by the treasury department at Washington. On the new bills all branches of the Government, executive, legislative and judicial, will be represented. All of the men selected were presidents excepting Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, John Marshall and Henry Clay. John Marshall, for years chief justice of the supreme court, will be the jurist represented on the bills. Henry Clay will be there for legislators. Contrary to the general supposition, the greater statesmen do not appear on the bills of high denomination. Big men on little bills appears to be the rule. The list puts Washington on the $1 bill, Jefferson on the $2, Lincoln on the $5, Cleveland on the $10, Hamilton on the $20, Jackson on the $50, Franklin on the $100, Marshall on the $500, Clay on the $1000, and Grant on the $10,000. Nothing reveals more clearly the unfitness of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Johnson for the high and dignified offices to which they aspire than the intemperate, unjustifiable and vulgarly abusive language in which they constantly indulge toward their fellow citizens who do not agree with them. Out of their own mouths comes the most powerful argument against their election. The Orange High school board met Friday evening and issued a call for plans for the additions to be made to the high school plant. Plans for two buildings were asked. One is for a building to house the departments of botany, physical geography, music and household science, the building to be 50x100 feet, with two stories and basement. The other is to be 60x100 feet, two stories and basement, and is to house the departments of manual training, commerce, art and applied art. It is specified that the buildings be of brick and wooden joist construction, classic in design and conforming with the present building in appearance. The two buildings when completed are to cost not in excess of $40,000.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE STATE SURVEYORS HERE One Party at Work This Side of Santa Ana and Coming This Way State highway surveyors are now at work on the main highway between Santa Ana and this city, headed north. The second party is at work this side of Juan Capistrano. SQUIBLETS A man came near having to take a kicking recently, because he chanced to remark in a crowd that he thought some men were honest. Willis—Your son has the true college spirit, you say? Gillis—Yes. He firmly believes that he is the greatest man in the greatest class that ever was graduated from the greatest institution in the country. Willie—Did your mother or your father punish you when you were young? Tommie—Both. Willie—How did your father punish you? Tommie—He used to sing to me. Casual Angler (who has left the packing of impedimenta to boy)—Haven't seen no rod, haven't you? What the deuce do you think I was going to catch fish with, then? Boy (exhibiting the landing-net)—I thought you catched 'em with this 'ere. "There isn't one man in a million who would be so mean to his wife and children as you are," remarked the wife, bitterly. "Now that's what I admire in you, dear," ventured the husband, slowly—"you have such a head for figures." "They say you can read character in handwriting," remarked the paying seller of an important branch bank in EDITORIALS One's everyday thoughts, like one's everyday clothes, need not be brilliant. Even the man who is his own worst enemy is always ready to forgive himself. If it were not for the trusts whom would a man who falls in business blame for it? Reputation is an invaluable asset. Do the products of your farm have a reputation? If not, why not? Those Mexican revolutionists who crossed the Texas line would be doing well to read up a bit on Texas history. The value of the brick, tile, terra cotta, pottery, and various other clay products made in California in 1911, was $4,915,866. This is an increase of $73,475 over the figures for 1910. Uplift the farm home through the education of the farmer's daughter toward greater usefulness and attractiveness in the farm home. During the absence of Postmaster Duckworth in the Hawaiian Islands, Elmer Imus is the high mucky-muck at the local postoffice and whatever he says, goes. That fierce Cossack who shot a defenseless prince the other day seemed to show more enthusiasm than the fierce Cossacks displayed in their recent unpleasantness with Japan. People who crave excitement and who are tired of running automobiles, submarines and aeroplanes, may now enter politics and join in the excitement of helping to run the steam roller. Give 'er a little more steam, Bill! Guest—That's a beautiful rug. May I ask how much it cost you? Host—Five hundred dollars. A hundred and fifty for it and the rest for furniture to match. Bowler—All ready for the bowling season! I thought you were going to make extensive improvements in the alleys this summer? I don't see any. Proprietor—Great Scott, man, the alleys will be fully six and a half inches closer to the bar than they were last year! "Your candidate's record does not indicate that he entirely agrees with his party platform." "No. That's part of our strategy. Voters who don't like the candidate may like the platform, and those who don't like the platform may like the candidate."

"There isn't one man in a million who would be so mean to his wife and children as you are," remarked the wife, bitterly. "Now that's what I admire in you, dear," ventured the husband, slowly—"you have such a head for figures." "They say you can read character in handwriting," remarked the paying teller of an important branch bank in Harlem, "and I dare say it's true. But I read more in the extraneous matter written on checks that pass through the bank than I do in the signature. I had a sample check today. It was drawn by a saloonkeeper, and along the margin he had written, 'Against Prohibition every time.' The size of the check indicated a prosperous man. The fact that he did more than sign his name suggested that he is not overworked or pressed for time. And the nature of the inscription was evidence of a lively sense of humor—of a certain sort. Another check bore this line: 'I hate to let go of it.' I'll wager something that the writer is a jolly chap and a good companion. But the meanest citizen that indulges in this sort of literature—and he is quite numerous—is the divorced man who periodically writes across a check drawn in his ex-wife's favor the words, "For alimony," so as to embarrass her in presenting it anywhere. He ought to be kicked, you know." Nightwatchman Westerman of Orange stopped two Los Angeles men the other night when they attempted a short cut through a closed street, and drove their automobile on the sidewalk. East Chapman avenue between Orange and the Plaza is closed while being paved. The driver thought that he would take a chance on the sidewalk, but encountered Westerman. The officer stopped the play and took the driver's name. He was asked to appear in court. Two Mexicans and a sack of beer produced the usual results at Smeltzer on Friday. The outcome of the fight is one man in the hospital badly wounded from the blows of an ax and one man in jail. Santiago Molina is the man in the hospital. His father-in-law, Victoriana Losano, is in jail. The two men, it appears, were discussing the contents of the beer sack amicably until Molina desired to take it to a neighbor's house. Right there the two fell out. Molina began hostilities with a big knife and a dagger eight inches as to blade, while his father-in-law took the ax. The latter had the better of the argument and cracked Molina on the head. Molina retreated to secure a couple of razors, but Losano overtook him and cut him deep in the back, the ax penetrating to the spine. Molina will recover, although very badly People who crave excitement and who are tired of running automobiles, submarines and aeroplanes, may now enter politics and join in the excitement of helping to run the steam roller. Give 'er a little more steam, Bill! What is your honest opinion of the detective who tempted the councilman of Santa Monica by offering him a bribe, and then arresting and prosecuting him for taking it? In our opinion, he is worse than his victim and ought to be condemned for offering the bribe. We in this country are troubled with the high cost of living. Inasmuch as the Emperor of Japan's funeral is said to have cost $1,000,000, are we to infer that the Japanese are troubled with the high cost of dying? A kind-hearted woman comes to the defense of the bachelor and gives the following reason why the suggested bachelor tax should not be levied: "Nine bachelors out of ten," she says, "have done their best to get married. Is an unfortunate man to be blamed if he fails to find any woman who will have him?" The lady thinks that to punish the one doomed to bachelorhood despite his best endeavors would be unwarrantedly cruel. Yes, it would seem like rubbing it in, but still it would possibly be cheaper to pay the tax than to get married. Mrs. Whimper—John, if I should die would you marry again? Whimper—Perhaps, if the trap was set different. "Why don't you marry Evelyn? Don't you think you could support her?" "Support her! Why, I couldn't even pay for her complexion." The politicians love the farmer so much, that they are willing during the fall campaign to take a trip through the rural districts in a parlor car. "Why should I marry you?" she asked superciliously. "Well, of course," he replied viciously, "you can die an old maid if you want to." one man in jail. Santiago Molina is the man in the hospital. His father-in-law, Victoriana Losano, is in jail. The two men, it appears, were discussing the contents of the beer sack amicably until Molina desired to take it to a neighbor's house. Right there the two fell out. Molina began hostilities with a big knife and a dagger eight inches as to blade, while his father-in-law took the ax. The latter had the better of the argument and cracked Molina on the head. Molina retreated to secure a couple of razors, but Losano overtook him and cut him deep in the back, the ax penetrating to the spine. Molina will recover, although very badly wounded. Losano is held until a charge is brought against him.
