TODAY'S FIGHT NOTARELIGIOUS ISSUE REV. FATHER DUBBEL MAKES DIGNIFIED REPLY TO WRITER IN PROHIBITION ORGAN QUESTION BEFORE THE PEOPLE IS ONE OF SOCIAL ECONOMICS Rev. Father Dubbel, rector of St. Boniface Catholic church, has written the following dignified reply to the prohibition organ which is self-explanatory, not to say timely and to the point at this moment: To the Editor of the Anaheim Herald: Sir—In your editions of October 8th, October 15th and October 22nd there appear articles evidently intended to draw out a statement relative to the attitude of the Catholic church on the prohibition movement in our community. The melancholy views of the German pessimist who weeps because the shepherds of souls in the Catholic, Lutheran and Episcopal church do not rush to the tent of the drys, judges them for lack of courage and Christian self-denial and then consigns them to the judgment of God, may thus be answered. There will be found more justice, truth and mercy at His tribunal than evidently he is willing to mete out to them. Certainly, what is most to be dreaded in a community is religious strife. The last four centuries have enough to answer on this score. We had hoped that the twentieth century meant death to religious prejudice. We rejoiced at the spirit of tolerance. Each one to serve His Maker according to the convictions of his conscience. The battle of the ballot of November 6th is not a religious issue. It is not the stand of one church against another. He who would make mer, Bishop Foley, have clearly expressed the church's stand on this subject. To quote the words of Archbishop Messmer: "I would not be understood as favoring the drink habit. I regret deeply its abuses and the misery which it causes, but I do not believe that prohibition is the cure. The stand which I take against the imposing of laws by any community which interfere with personal liberty is the stand taken by the Roman Catholic church. The church holds that any attempt to curtail this liberty is to be discouraged. Prohibition is such an attempt and on the whole I believe it to be an unwise movement which would not bring the results claimed for it." While this is the general position of the church, it must be clearly understood that there might be certain local conditions which would demand a protest from the diocesian authorities. Thus, for instance, Archbishop Messmer states: "I can believe also that as a temporary measure and in certain locations, prohibition might be advisable. Prohibition in the South, where there is a vast preponderance of negroes, for instance, is a different proposition from prohibition in the North. In certain Southern localities prohibition might be a good thing for a while, but that is not saying that prohibition is the only way to get the desired results nor is it saying that it is the right way for all places and all times." And thus we have heard the warning voice of our bishop when there was danger that road houses were to be planted near the shrine of one of California's missions. It is a grand acknowledgment by the liberty loving that in the Catholic church men, priests, and prelates are found belonging to all political parties. Thus also if in the enthusiasm of a convention certain resolutions be passed, or if among the large number of the clergy some will express extreme views such must not be accepted as the established teachings of a church ever liberty-loving and the upholder of justice. Thanking you for yours space, Respectfully, F. J. DUBBEL, Rector of St. Boniface's Parish. Anaheim, Cal., Nov. 1, 1913. PUPILS' EXHIBITION SUCCESSFUL The pupils' exhibition held Saturday, October 25 at the Fullerton Y. M. C. A. grounds attracted a large crowd of pupils and their parents and friends the judgment of God, may thus be answered. There will be found more justice, truth and mercy at His tribunal than evidently he is willing to mete out to them. Certainly, what is most to dreaded in a community is religious strife. The last four centuries have enough to answer on this score. We had hoped that the twentieth century meant death to religious prejudice. We rejoiced at the spirit of tolerance. Each one to serve His Maker according to the convictions of his conscience. The battle of the ballot of November 6th is not a religious issue. It is not the stand of one church against another. He who would make it thus, is a disturber and not a desirable citizen in a liberal community. The question before the people is one of social economics. And as such it must be squarely faced, argued, and then let reason, not prejudice nor fanaticism, decide. Every registered voter and resident citizen has had his mail increased during the last weeks, and plenty of reading material left at his door. The views of both sides stated. It is for him to decide what is the best for the material and social progress of the city. He who cannot think is a fool, he who dares not think is a slave, he who will not think is a bigot. Why then force religious influence into the combat. Is there no other work to be done by the churches? Is it to their credit that for all these years they have been dormant and have not used their power for the uplift of men? Once more they err in their view-point who seek to make this a religious quarrel. A safe and sane leader lays aside impetuosity and intolerance. The Catholic View The virtue of temperance is one of the cardinal virtues in Christian life. This virtue has a large domain. It is a moderation of all passions. All excesses are opposed to it. Inordance joy or sorrow, unbridled temper, overbearing self-opinionativeness, undignified indulgence of the appetites, all wound its delicateness and mar its lustre. It becomes, consequently, the great power of self-constraint. It regulates life to be led according to the design of the Creator. Hence its importance, its necessity and its force in the Christian life. The church must continually preach it, to have its moderating influence felt in the daily life of its members. In a very narrow and restricted sense the word temperance is used as effecting the use of intoxicants. Total abstinence from intoxicating beverages or complete prohibition would be clearer terms. The attitude of the Catholic church on this subject may thus be clearly stated: Preach temperance and universal temperance at all times, in season and out of season, to use a Scripture quotation. Temperance being a Christian virtue, true Christian perfection will not exist unless the sparkle of that virtue will be noticed in the Christian crown. Prohibition as understood by its advocates does not meet with the approval of the Catholic church's teachings. It is an infringement on personal liberty, it is coercion, even considering that the motives prompting such action are intended for the best. War measures, extreme legislation may have to be Temperance being a Christian virtue, true Christian perfection will not exist unless the sparkle of that virtue will be noticed in the Christian crown. Prohibition as understood by its advocates does not meet with the approval of the Catholic church's teachings. It is an infringement on personal liberty, it is coercion, even considering that the motives prompting such action are intended for the best. War measures, extreme legislation may have to be resorted to at times, but they always leave that feeling of force and constraint which the emancipated citizen will desire to cast aside, even as the prisoner longs to break the shackles that fetter him. No church teaches temperance and moderation stronger, more constantly and more consistently than the Catholic church. Notice her days of abstinence and fasting. Her Fridays, her Lent and days of Vigils. In the pastoral letters of her bishops, she pleads with her people, "A most commendable custom is that of abstaining during Lent from all intoxicating liquors, and we commend this as one form of mortification to those who have the habit even of the moderate use of liquors." At the time of confirmation the bishops appeal to the young to pledge themselves to total abstinence at least to the age of 21. Many are the sodalities of total abstainers and men like the famous Father Matthew, the apostle of temperance, have done good by their example, their gentle instructions and kind persuasion to lead men who would only be antagonized through coarse and savage tirades. What is the principle of the Catholic church leading men to temperance? Not legislation but moral persuasion. The Lord desires a reasonable service, no slaves in his vineyard and thus also the Catholic church desires first of all to demonstrate the excellence, beauty and necessity of a means of virtue and then lead men to strive for it nobly. Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Messenger. D. W. McDannald, Orange county representative to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, is gathering material for a special exhibit of Orange county products at the Chicago Land Show, for which place he will depart in a few days. He visited the orchards of C. P. Taft, the well known grower of rare fruits, and also the Thompson nursery. The exhibit at the land show is for the purpose of displaying the rare tropical fruits which are grown exclusively in Orange county. W. T.

The Orange Commercial GOOD ROADS THE TOPIC AT ORANGE ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE INDULGE IN TALK ON IMPORTANT SUBJECT SUPERVISOR STRUCK DECLARED THAT SAN FRANCISCO IS TRYING TO HOLD US UP The Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county met at Orange last Wednesday night, the principal topic under discussion being good roads. It was an especially interesting meeting and was well attended. J. L. Birnbaum, of Orange, made the address of welcome, and Charles Eygabroad, of this city, president of the Anaheim Board of Trade, responded. Highway Commissioner D. C. Pixley, of Orange, was called upon for a talk upon progress in the good roads work, and in a clear, concise statement he set forth the situation. "Five sections of the highways are now under way," said he, "and a sixth contract will be let next week. Six miles of base have been laid by the contractors now at work, and the contractor on the Orangethorpe road is now putting on the top.on that road. "The wisdom of this county in establishing its rock crusher at McPherson has been demonstrated. We are producing crushed rock at less than we can buy it plus the freight rates that must be paid where transfers from one railroad to another are necessary." "Tuesday night the plant of the Pacific Rock & Gravel Company at Azusa burned. The plant is on the to be an exceptionally hospitable and courteous host, and from a social point of view the meeting was one of the best the Associated Chambers has held. The address of welcome for the club was aptly given by J. L. Birnbaum, a real estate dealer of Orange, and Charles Eygabroad, of Anaheim, replied. Y.M.C.A BOYS WILL HOLD CONVENTION R. A. Waite, International Secretary, Will Speak at Santa Ana Nov. 23 The Young Men's Christian Association of Orange county, through its boy's work committee, is arranging for a convention of older boys of the county to be held in Santa Ana at the First Congregational church, Saturday, November 22 and 23. It is expected that 150 delegates from all parts of Orange county will be present at this convention. The older boys' conferences of California have been held for the past eight or ten years and have been instrumental in doing much good, and now the counties which have Y. M. C. A. organizations are also conducting county conferences along the same lines. This is the first time that Orange county has held such a conference and it is believed that it will interest a large number of the older boys in considering moral and religious problems. It is very fortunate that R. A. Waite, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has been secured as the principal speaker at this conference and Mr. Perry O. Hill, who is state Y. M. C. A. secretary for colleges and high schools, will also be present to assist. A large number of high school fellows will also be used on the program.

"The wisdom of this county in establishing its rock crusher at McPherson has been demonstrated. We are producing crushed rock at less than we can buy it plus the freight rates that must be paid where transfers from one railroad to another are necessary. "Tuesday night the plant of the Pacific Rock & Gravel Company at Azusa burned. The plant is on the Pacific Electric. We have a contract to buy crushed rock from that company at a very low figure. Our plant is on the Southern Pacific and that company has another plant on the Santa Fe. It costs us 35 cents a ton for freight, which doubles if we transfer from one line to another. On account of the fire we will be short of rock on Pacific Electric points for a time, unless we pay the extra freight for transfers. "Our plant at McPherson cost $12,000 or $14,000, and our saving will pay for it in six months. "We will advertise for bids for the Santa Ana canyon road within one or two weeks, and work will probably commence within 30 days. We will average building from a mile to a mile and a half of good roads per week." Deputy District Attorney Walter Eden said that right-of-way matters are in good shape. No suits for condemnation for county highway deeds have been found necessary. He thought it would be but a short time until right-of-way matters will be settled with the Irvine Company. County Surveyor J. L. McBride, who has had charge of getting rights-of-way for the state highway, said that some hard propositions were run up against, and condemnation suits were absolutely necessary. About 225 persons and corporations had to be dealt with in getting title to the state road between Santa Ana and the La Habra line. The contractor is ready to go to work immediately upon the road as soon as he signs the contract. The state will not wait for the outcome of the suits before starting work. W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, said that up to Tuesday the contract had not been signed, but it might be almost any day. W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, and H. A. Wassum, of Tustin, as a committee, reported that negotiations for building the new road from Olinda to Chino are such that the road is assured. San Bernardino has promised to build to the county line, leaving four miles to be built in this county. Surveyor McBride and Supervisor Schumacher went over the road last Saturday meeting a large number of the older boys in considering moral and religious problems. It is very fortunate that R. A. Waite, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has been secured as the principal speaker at this conference and Mr. Perry O. Hill, who is state Y. M. C. A. secretary for colleges and high schools, will also be present to assist. A large number of high school fellows will also be used on the program. A committee of teachers and boys will select delegates from the high schools, and it is expected to allow each eighth grade to send one delegate. Sunday school classes are also being asked to send one delegate. All delegates must be between the ages of 15 and 20 years. It is planned on Saturday to have a conference of teachers of boys and religious workers with boys to consider moral and religious problems of the adolescent boy. R. A. Waite will have charge of this conference. A banquet will be held on Saturday evening at which all the delegates will be invited, and the two football teams which play here that day, San Diego and Santa Ana teams, will also be guests at this banquet. On Sunday it is planned to have some strong religious meetings at which not only delegates, but all boys who can come, will be invited. Delegates will be entertained over night in the homes of Santa Ana, and it is hoped that those who will assist in this will present their names soon to Martin Warren, chairman of the entertainment committee, postoffice at Santa Ana. H. P. C. Lent is chairman of the Anaheim committee on delegates. Further announcements of this conference and the program will be printed at a later date. NEW USES FOR CRUDE PETROLEUM Cream Wafers Adulterated With It Is Late Discovery A new adulterant - namely, petroleum oil, it is alleged has recently been found to be used in the manufacture of the popular form of biscuit or wafer which consists of an upper and lower crust covering a cream filler in sandwich form. Selzure of these cream wafers at Cincinnati, Ohio, has just been made pursuant to proceedings instituted by the United States attorney at Cincinnati on the report of the Secretary of Agriculture. W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, said that up to Tuesday the contract had not been signed, but it might be almost any day. W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, and H. A. Wassum, of Tustin, as a committee, reported that negotiations for building the new road from Olinda to Chino are such that the road is assured. San Bernardino has promised to build to the county line, leaving four miles to be built in this county. Surveyor McBride and Supervisor Schumacher went over the road last Saturday, meeting the surveyor and supervisor of San Bernardino county. The Associated Chambers indorsed the road, and urged that the Board of Supervisors take the necessary steps to build the road. A representative of Brea stated that it has solved some roads problems there, including the cutting down of a bluff by the Pacific Electric to protect a crossing. W. H. Bentley, of Westminster, asked questions concerning the expectations of this county to exhibit at the 1915 fair at San Francisco. Vice Chairman L. H. Wallace said that Orange county is represented by W. W. Wilson on the Southern Counties Exposition Commission, in which seven counties are joined. Supervisor Struck stated that at present the commission has refused to rent space, taking the view that since the bonds were issued free space should be given the counties of the state. "San Francisco is trying to hold us up for that space, and we won't stand for it," said Struck. The next meeting of the Associated Chambers will be held at Placentia on December 10. The Orange Commercial Club proved Late Discovery A new adulterant, namely, petroleum oil, it is alleged has recently been found to be used in the manufacture of the popular form of biscuit or wafer which consists of an upper and lower crust covering a cream filler in sandwich form. Selzure of these cream wafers at Cincinnati, Ohio, has just been made pursuant to proceedings instituted by the United States attorney at Cincinnati on the report of the Secretary of Agriculture. The shipper was the Leonard Products Company, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Seven full cans and 10 cans partly filled were seized. Adulteration was charged in that the cream filler of the wafers contained 20 per cent of mineral oil, which amounts to approximately 3 per cent of the total weight of each wafer. According to the findings of the Department of Agriculture, this petroleum oil, which is a lubricant rather than a product containing food value, was used in connection with sugar and milk in the preparation of the creamy filler and substituted, because of the cheapness, for coconut oil or butter, which might have been used. The use of this substance in an article of food is considered an adulteration and in violation of the federal food and drugs act, and selzure was recommended by the department of the consignment which had been sampled. The court has not yet decided the issue whether the product was actually adulterated, and this issue will be tried out.
