NO NECESSITY FOR THIRD PARTY Governor Johnson, in opening his campaign at Oakland is reported to have said: "The campaign issues are performances by the progressives on the one hand, versus promises by our adversaries." It seems unfair of Governor Johnson not to acknowledge that he was able to do his part solely because of the loyal support he got from Republican progressives who, indeed, elected him. He did say according to his published address: "We could have won the progressive principles through the Republican party in California, but not in other states." An examination of the presidential vote does not indicate that Governor Johnson is correct in assuming that what was accomplished in California through the Republican party, could not have been accomplished in other states. The Progressive party voters in November, 1912, were undoubtedly drawn principally from the Republican party ranks, and these voters, together with the very large number of Republican progressive voters who voted for President Wilson, if properly organized and led, could easily capture the Republican organizations everywhere. Men and women of California should register as Republicans for that party has demonstrated that it is capable of advancing and safe-guarding the people's best interests. Do not divide pro- IN AND ABOUT THE CITY At a dinner party given at St. Michael's rectory Monday night a scheme to establish a men's club was hatched and William Falkenstein, H. M. Adams, A. C. Pearson and Rev. David Todd Gillimor were appointed a committee to organize the club and get it into working action. Its object will be to enhance the business interests of the members and the town. Although Newport and Balboa beach have not suffered from the high tides and heavy seas, the southeast storm Monday proved too much for the bulkheads toward the point of the peninsula, and every available man was called out early in the morning to protect the houses fronting the ocean that threatened to be washed into the sea. To the patrons of the Fairyland theater, Manager Bilger wishes to announce he has secured another three-reel feature of the exclusive service, entitled "The President's Pardon," featuring ex-President Taft, for Sunday and Monday, January 1 and 2. Regular admission 5 and 10 cents. Sunday matinee at 2:30. Nine inches of water was the record caught by Mr. Dickel's gauge during the month of January and there are still two days to hear from. This is the heaviest precipitation for the month ever recorded. Its value to Anaheim and the surrounding country cannot be estimated, and very little damage is reported from inundations in this immediate region. Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson returned from San Diego on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, having been on their way since Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. They were detained by a washout at Serra where 300 passengers were marooned on several trains unable to continue their journey. On Tuesday morning Mr. Simpson and several other gentlemen walked to San Juan for provisions, and on their return to Serra found that their train had returned to Oceanside. The track was repaired on Tuesday afternoon and they returned to their home without further mishap. WHERE WAS DR. CHAPMAN? November 1912, were undoubtedly drawn principally from the Republican party ranks, and these voters, together with the very large number of Republican progressive voters who voted for President Wilson, if properly organized and led, could easily capture the Republican organizations everywhere. Men and women of California should register as Republicans for that party has demonstrated that it is capable of advancing and safe-guarding the people's best interests. Do not divide progressive strength by registering in a new party, the formation of which can but serve to renew the hope of the reactionary forces. If any considerable number of our citizens blindly follow the lead of the impulsive men whose judgment has unfortunately become clouded because of their prominence in a new national movement, which, if they but realized it, has already demonstrated that it cannot succeed, or become really useful, we will needlessly invite possible defeat for progressive principles in this state. What was accomplished through the loyalty of the Republican progressive voters of California, can be accomplished in other states through the Republican party. There was no excuse for the division of Republican progressive strength nationally by the creation of the Progressive party. There is far less excuse or reason for such a movement in California. Mark well the published words of Governor Johnson in his speech at the opening of the Progressive party's campaign: "They can beat us at the polls, my friends, but they cannot take away what we've done for the State of California." While much of what has been accomplished is most gratifying, it is nevertheless disappointing for progressive citizens to now contemplate the possible disruption of the Republican progressive movement after its splendid service to the people. Governor Johnson's words, above quoted, cannot be very reassuring to those Progressive party members who followed him in his previous campaign, when, as a Republican progressive candidate, he felt and expressed such full confidence in victory for the people. We would be less than just if we failed to give Governor Johnson full credit for doing many fine things for the general good, but proper public appreciation can be shown him without now endangering progressive principles by registering in a new party, the creation of which can but bring anxiety and doubt regarding future success. Whereas, under the Republican progressive movement we are assured of certain victory. I again urge every progressive citizen to register as Republican and help to make certain future progressive control of that party at the primary election next September. If that is done those progressives who have strayed away for the present can later come back to the Republican party without sacrificing their principles. WANTS TO BE SHERIFF WHERE WAS DR. CHAPMAN? The American people drank 70,000,000 gallons of whisky, smoked 4,090,300,000 cigars and puffed 8,711,000,000 cigarettes during the six months ending December 31, according to figures announced by Commissioner Osborn of the Internal Revenue Bureau. The revenue collected from distilled spirits amounted to $85,862,712, the whisky tax being $16,142,854; tobacco $41,296,593; corporation tax $3,110,720; cigarettes $10,890,000, and cigars $12,270,000. The total collection of taxes for the six months totaled $167,647,905, an increase of $4,175,630 over the corresponding period of 1912. The income tax paid under the new law aggregated $1,509. This tax did not have to be paid until March 1. OLD-TIME COSTUMES DISPLAYED AT PARTY Mrs. Burgess Entertains a Unique Party in the Style of Long Ago Last Thursday evening, the third of the series of parties, planned for this year by the grammar school teachers, was held at the home of Mrs. J. T. Burgess, on North Philadelphia street. The hostesses of the evening were Miss Moritz, Mrs. Burgess and Miss Kellenberger. In response to the following invitation: "Ye are herewith invyted Our party to attend, Dressed as a sweet Colonial maid, Much charm to it ye'll lende." Every one came dressed as courtly dame or winsome maid. A number of the gowns worn were heirlooms. The living and dining rooms were attractively decorated with pink Cochet roses and feathery ferns. The soft light of many candles replacing the electric lights, gave an added charm to the whole scene and carried those present back to the courtly days of long ago. Every one seemed filled with the spirit of the past and danced the Minuet and Virginia reel, the principal amusements of the evening, with old-time stateliness and grace.

Mason, who has just finished a term of 30 days on the rock pile at Santa Ana last Saturday, had evidently kept his eyes open while in jail, for no sooner had his sentence been served than he proceeded to boost himself as a candidate for the office of sheriff. Fortified by two bottles of alcohol he went about the streets, buttonholing people, promising deputyships with lavish hand, soliciting votes, offering a pull at one of his bottles, panhandling men for money to carry on his campaign, and otherwise disporting himself, until he ran up against Officer John Ryan, who took him into custody for drunkenness. Mason claimed to be a soldier, having passed through a severe campaign in Mexico. He offered his hat in evidence. The headgear showed signs of having seen rough usage, and there were several holes in it which he claimed were bullet holes. When asked how it was possible to have so many holes in his hat, and his head uninjured, he replied that when the holes were made he was on the run, and his hat was in his hand and thus caught all the bullets. He was before Judge Cox and in default of ten dollars to pay the fine imposed, he was remanded to jail for ten days. He will have more opportunity to learn the inner workings of the sheriff's office. He said that his arrest was a piece of spite work on the part of the rest of the candidates, who feared him in the race for sheriff. BROWNE'S BILL ALLOWED BY BOARD Supervisors Upheld the District Attorney and Pay the Detective Samuel Browne, who presented a bill to the supervisors for $447.75 for ferreting out registration frauds in Anaheim during the recent wet and dry campaign, has received his money. The board on Tuesday allowed the bill after it had ben held up by Auditor Lester, and Browne is happy and prosperous. Supervisors Schumacher and Leck opposed the bill, but Talbert, Struck and Smith voted to sustain District Attorney West in his contention that he was privileged by the law to hire detectives to ferret out crime. R. Y. Williams represented Browne and after a long argument on both sides of the question the board decided by a vote of three to two to allow the bill. Browne's bill was for services rendered during the Anaheim wet and dry campaign. He charged $6 a day and expenses, part of the bill being for automobile hire at $10 per day. Browne, after several weeks' effort, succeeded in hailing three persons into court on charges of false registration and all were discharged. He was a costly luxury.

INSULTED HIS COLONEL. An Offense For Which a French Soldier Had to Die. By deliberately insulting a superior officer at a court martial a French soldier at Lille incurred the death penalty. The incident is a deplorable one. The fact that the officers had to condemn the man is likewise painful, but the military regulations were plain and left no alternative. A dragoon in one of the regiments at Lille was being tried before a court martial. Another dragoon of the same regiment, who was undergoing arrest for some other fault, was summoned as a witness.

The fact that the officers had to condemn the man is likewise painful, but the military regulations were plain and left no alternative. A dragoon in one of the regiments at Lille was being tried before a court martial. Another dragoon of the same regiment, who was undergoing arrest for some other fault, was summoned as a witness. When this dragoon entered the room of the court martial he was asked by the presiding colonel to take off his cap. The man took this in bad part and flung his cap at the colonel, following it up with a storm of abusive language. When he had finished, the colonel, out of sheer good nature, asked him to reflect and express regret for his action, which he was willing to look upon as a momentary outburst of temper. The dragoon merely repeated his insults. The court martial immediately deliberated and at the end of a quarter of an hour gave judgment condemning the dragoon to death. Boston Transcript. Book Without Errata. A London publisher once determined to publish at least one book which should be faultless in the matter of errata. He had the proofs corrected by his own proofreaders with the greatest care until they had exhausted their skill and patience and assured him that there were no longer any errors to be eliminated. Taking duplicate proofs of the last revise, he sent them to the universities and other large publishing houses, offering large money prizes for each error discovered. A few errors only were found, and after every one had a chance to detect any additional errors the plates were made, the book printed, expensively bound and sold as an absolutely perfect book and unique in all literature. For a long time this was conceded, but six or eight months after its publication a letter called the publisher's attention to an error in a certain line and page. Later a second was announced, and before the first year had elapsed some four or five errors had been reported. Charles Winslow Hall, in National Magazine. Natural Turkish Baths. Preston, Ont., about seventy miles from Toronto, enjoys natural Turkish baths. Near the town is a lake the waters of which are impregnated with sulphur and other chemical properties. The lake is government property, and the cost to those availing themselves of its virtues is merely nominal, about sixtence being sufficient to remunerate the services of the halfbreeds preparing the bath.

That twelve boys of twelve years of age do run for 112 yards for a hat at the cost of 12 shillings. That a flag be flying on said day thirty feet high. That after dinner the royal health, his honor the governor's, is to be drunk. That a pair of silver buckles be wrestled for by a number of brisk young men. That a pair of handsome shoes be danced for. That a pair of handsome silk stockings of one pistole value be given to the handsomest young maid that appears in the field. It is probable, says the Ohio State Journal, our tastes are too much changed to enjoy such a list of attractions, but one may imagine what fun they must have caused. Ocean Cannibals. Such fierce carnivorous fishes as exist in the depths of the ocean are unknown at the surface. There is a "black swallower" which devours other finny creatures ten times as big as itself, literally climbing over its victim, first with one jaw and then with the other. Another species is nearly all mouth, and having no power of locomotion, it lies buried in the soft ooze at the bottom, its head alone protruding, ready to engulf any prey that may wander into its cavernous jaws. There is a ferocious kind of shark resembling a huge eel. All of these monsters are black as ink. Some of them are perfectly blind, while others have enormous, googling eyes. No ray of sunlight ever pierces the dark, unfathomed caves in which they dwell. Each species is gobbled by the species next bigger, for there is no vegetable life to feed on. Spare Moments. As Others See It. Every two or three weeks I approach my house from the unusual side and make a note of the effect of porch, windows and the curtains. Then I try to go into the house as a stranger. Pictures which have become so familiar that they were a part of the wall I see the need of changing, and so I see things all through the house. I think more than anything else I find the rooms overcrowded and fussy and something can be banished. Of course I can't always do these things at the time, but I make a note of them. This has worked so well with my house that I am trying it for myself. When dressed for the street or house I step to the glass and say, "Let me present you to Mrs. —," and try to look at myself Railway Time Table SANTA FE—GOING NORTH Leave Anaheim Ar.

The lake is government property, and the cost to those availing themselves of its virtues is merely nominal, about sixpence being sufficient to remunerate the services of the halfbreeds preparing the bath. This is taken in what is locally called a "sweat lodge." The lodge is made by digging a hole four feet deep, lining it with small bowlders and covering it with an air proof tent. A fire is then built in the hole and kept burning until the stones are thoroughly heated. Water from the lake is sprinkled on the hot stones, and a steam arises which is laden with medicinal properties.—London Graphic. Nature. "We say that nature is blind," says John Burroughs in the Atlantic, "but she has no need of eyes, she tries all courses. She has infinite time, infinite power, infinite space, and so far as our feeble minds can see her delight is to play this game of blind man's buff over and over to all eternity. Her creatures get life and the joy and pain that life brings. But what is augmented or depleted or concluded or satisfied or fulfilled who knows?" A Thorough Test. "Inspector, that woman I said was always listening on my party line must have quit." What makes you think so? "Why, my wife has been listening for three weeks and hasn't caught her yet."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Pessimist. Tommy Cod—What is it they call a pessimist, pa?

The shell of the lobster is imbued with a black or bluish pigment secreted by the true skin, which also gives out the calcareous matter after each molt, so that lime and pigment are blended together. This pigment becomes red, pale and intense in water at a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and the same effect is produced by the action of alcohol, ether and various acids. A Sad Discovery. "How does Brown like the high position he was recently promoted to?" "Not very well." "But I thought it was paying him $10,000 a year?" "So it is. But he's discovered that his employers expect him to earn it."—Detroit Free Press. With Variations. Smithers—He who courts and runs away may come to court another day. Jenkins—But he who courts and does not wed may find himself in court instead. Time misspent is not lived, but lost.—Fuller. In the Superior Court OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
