Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. FOR CONGRESSMAN, J. C. NEEDHAM Although not an avowed candidate, and declaring that he would much prefer to sidestep the honor and devote his time to a consideration of his private affairs, ex-Congressman J. C. Needham made it plain at the Republican county central committee meeting at Santa Ana Saturday that if the call throughout the balance of the district is as enthusiastic, unanimous and spontaneous as it is in this county, he will sink personal preferences and accept the Republican nomination for Congressman in the 11th district. As all the counties in the citrus and sugar belt, which comprise the heavy end of the district, have already burdened his mails with letters and sent hundreds of telegrams asking him to enter the race, little doubt exists now that Mr. Needham will lead the fight against Congressman Kettner this fall. There is not a congressional district in the United States that has suffered more from the destructive policy of the present administration than this one. Industries yielding millions of dollars in products each year depend upon protection for their existence, and it is not mete that a free-trade Democrat should represent the district at Washington. During his 14 years in Congress, Needham was an earnest advocate of protection to American industries. He was an intimate friend of THREE EFFICIENT COUNTY OFFICERS County Clerk Williams and Assessor Sleeper Are the Right Men in the Right Place Declared by many attorneys to be the best county clerk in California, with a splendid record for efficiency and courtesy, with hosts of close personal friends, W. B. Williams is recognized as one of the strong candidates of the campaign. On the theory that no business man fires a capable, thoroughly satisfactory employee in order to give an untried possibility a job, Williams has the backing of voters of all parties. His friends not only make these declarations for him, but they go further. They declare that by habitual carefulness, by his knowledge of legal affairs, he being admitted to practice law, and by his experience as a public official he annually saves the county a great deal of money, that he has become an exceptionally valuable county official, the right man in the right place. Things done in his office are done right. Every person who comes to his counter is treated with the utmost consideration. Faithfulness and honesty are among the attributes urged by the friends of Joseph M. Backs backing him for county recorder. While Backs has been recorder only a few weeks, he has fully demonstrated that he is thoroughly capable of handling the job. His natural efficiency, his clerical training and his experience not only in business but also as a deputy county clerk had fitted him for the county office that he now holds. Backs was born in this county, and was brought up in the town in which he was born—Anaheim. He was county manager of the Home Telephone Company when he became a court house employee. He is known as courteous in his treatment of all who come to his counter, POLITICAL SNAP (By the Innocent By) The round of the week one or two additional polls, most important and perhaps being the announcement R. Y. Williams of his choice the superior judgeship. R. Y. Williams is so well men in Orange county mention of him here were as it is an accepted facet eminently fitted to fill the hosts of warm friends sentatives of all the various parties who recognize involved, honorable gentlemen a lawyer of exceptional acumen. And these friends are common this is the material outfit competent superior judge. This makes five aspirants two places to be filled Judges West and Thomas W. F. Heathman, L. A. H. Y. Williams. And although prognosis away below par and positions are possibly worth cents a peck, it's a safe guide ultimate winners will be West. Paste this point and see how far it misses. Another development of interest is the assurance Needham will be a candidate in the 11th district said here last Saturday not quite decided the mannerally understood that he choice of the Republican Kettner. Needham was here by attendance at a meeting lican county central co was endorsed by that b mous vote. J. S. Stearns, first a neer in the employ of th DUCKWORTH NOT A CANDIDATE J. W. Duckworth desires us to state that the statement published in a Santa Ana paper one day last week, that he would be a candidate for county treasurer on the Republican ticket, is altogether misleading and without any foundation in fact. Mr. Duckworth is not a candidate for any office, and he will devote his energy during the campaign to helping his friends among the Republican candidates to triumphant election at the August primaries. He will be in the game until polls close for the November election, and as he is one of the strongest and most popular Republicans in the county, will be of signal service to them. He believes all indications point to a sweeping Republican victory in this state and county this year, and he has his shoulder to the wheel, doing his best to help bring about this greatly to be desired state of political affairs. He is a consistent Republican of many years' standing, and is just as strong today for the party of protection and prosperity as he ever was. He is not a candidate, but is out to help his friends. Judge and Mrs. Frank Shanley have occasion to be proud of the splendid testimonial of esteem tendered them by the citizens of the community upon attending their golden wedding anniversary. Odd Fellows' hall was filled with a brilliant society throng on Monday evening to pay honor to them, and at the Shanley residence on Sunday afternoon many guests sat down to an of telegrams asking him to enter the race, little doubt exists now that Mr. Needham will lead the fight against Congressman Kettner this fall. There is not a congressional district in the United States that has suffered more from the destructive policy of the present administration than this one. Industries yielding millions of dollars in products each year depend upon protection for their existence, and it is not mete that a free-trade Democrat should represent the district at Washington. During his 14 years in Congress, Needham was an earnest advocate of protection to American industries. He was an intimate friend of William McKinley, the great apostle of protection, and seconded him in his policies. He stands uncompromisingly for protection to the citrus, sugar and other industries of California, and has few equals in debate, consequently the voters of this district, now suffering under Democratic misrule, are turning to him for relief. Mr. Needham was a member of the ways and means committee during his several terms in Congress and assisted in framing the tariff laws that fostered and protected the capital and labor employed in America against cheap foreign competition. The tariff will be the principal issue in the campaign this fall. Protection and a return to properous days will be the watchword of the Republicans, and Mr. Needham, with his long experience and able tongue, is the proper man to lead the forces in the 11th district. BUENA PARK ITEMS Business is beginning to look up in the Park. I. D. Jaynes' new houses are nearing completion. The two story brick building on the corner, opposite Bishop's store, will be ready about July 1. The lower part will be occupied by the postoffice with a grocery store on one side and another business in one corner. Postmaster Kirth will keep the grocery. The two apartments upstairs, modern and up-to-date, are already rented. The bungalow in the rear of this building will be occupied by Mr. Kirth and family in about two weeks. Mr. Jayne has already contracted for two more bungalows which will be built in the near future, and are already rented. This shows how badly the Park needs new buildings. The new boulevard through the Park is progressing splendidly. The taxpayers are seriously considering the matter of paving from curb to curb as far north as Wilson's lumber yard, and on the south to Orangethorpe road. This, in connection with the lighting of the same, would be a splendid thing for Buena Park, and something for the citizens to be proud of. "The Deestrick Skule," given on May 15 by the Ladies' Mutual Aid, was a grand success. The house was filled to overflowing, notwithstanding, the fearful condition of the road which had just been plowed up and was filled with immense boulders of oilled dirt as hard as rock. Mr. Ritter as master, was simply fine beyond words. Mr. Johnson as committeeman and Mrs. Another development of interest is the assurance Needham will be a candidate in the 11th district, said here last Saturday; not quite decided the manner understood that he choice of the Republican Kettner. Needham was here by attendance at a meeting of lican county central co was endorsed by that be mous vote. J. S.

Stearns was not believed his dismissal wi the immediate possibility he took time by the forethe highway commission. Consideration of the matter of the advising the poll tax, which the people will vber next, and sober-min already in evidence as ago to cut out the considera rived from that source, an percentage of those who pay tribute absolutely nothing defraying the expenses or state government. The amount of poll tax this county is approx 15 per cent of which is county treasury to the salary fund, the balance school fund. "With the loss of thie license tax, amounting oo00 a year after June 3 Controller Chambers in view," "and the fact that vote in November, next poll tax, which also runs a year, the State of Ca ing a serious financial s necessary that we see thie dollar justly due to the sta We have been fortunate increasing the revenue f itance tax, but there is of course, that it can be all actual and prospecti enue.

Odd Fellows' hall was filled with a brilliant society throng on Monday evening to pay honor to them, and at the Shanley residence on Sunday afternoon many guests sat down to an elaborate wedding dinner. Of the 300 guests at the reception on Monday evening all the pretty girls kissed the judge, some of them receiving a sounding smack, and at times we believe the judge took two. The gentlemen retaliated by kissing Mrs. Shanley, and all went merry as a marriage helle. We salute this worthy couple, and join with their many friends in expressing the hope that the future may have in store for them many years of wedded bliss and happiness and prosperity. Fifty years of wedded life is an honor attained by few men and women, and not another couple in this city is so highly esteemed nor so sincerely loved as this youthful man and wife, who plighted their troth across the sea half a century ago. May heaven's choicest blessings descend upon them. Our children are the most important crop we raise in Orange county, and it would be a public calamity to displace such an excellent superintendent of public instruction as R. P. Mitchell, who has been so energetic and so faithful in promoting their interest. Remember your little boy and girl on election day and vote for Mr. Mitchell, the most competent superintendent of schools the county has ever had. J. W. Sackett is right on the job as street superintendent, and is showing his efficiency as well as an eagerness to work, which is his distinguishing characteristic. If Mr. Sackett doesn't make the best street superintendent Anaheim ever had we are going to miss our guess. Dr. Hasson of Buena Park is again off the reservation and is burning signal fires in the mountains. He is a candidate for county treasurer and refuses mediation. The "Deestrick Skule," given on May 15 by the Ladies' Mutual Aid, was a grand success. The house was filled to overflowing, notwithstanding, the fearful condition of the road which had just been plowed up and was filled with immense boulders of oiled dirt as hard as rock. Mr. Ritter as master, was simply fine beyond words. Mr. Johnson as committeeman and Mrs. Henry Warren as visiting mother, were superb, Mrs. Martin in "Dinah," not to be excelled. In fact all die so well it is needless repetition to go on mentioning names. Entertainments of this character by their acquaintances appeal to the public taste. At some date in September the aid purposes giving a negro minstrel show which will be quite as good in every respect. This society recently purchased a fine organ for the Congregational church, and is now replenishing the treasury. The O. E. S. chapter purposes giving a masquerade on Friday evening, May 29, in the school hall. The annual whist party to be given in the school hall tonight by the whist club promises to be a grand affair. About 100 invitations outside the club were issued and few regrets were received. Miss W. Simpson is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Myers, on Mesa Drive. She will remain a week to assist Mrs. Myers in some local musical affairs. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kirth on May 15. Their many friends are tendering congratulations.

"Yet, does any anarchic create chaos than the who, by ridicule in popular attacks the marriage and undermines respect the very foundation of pose any song writer or flag of our country would the insult be ave flag is merely the same homes. To such an extra right indecent and daring songs been turned out into the impression of an old being made to corrupt generation. Any effort evil should be hailed w and encouraged." Another Richard in the fifth supervisor district there were three aspire place. The fourth man is resident of Tustin, de Santa Ana Valley Irrigate tleman farmer and parts. Although such arations are being Leck's hide on the poil near future, Mr. H nothing for publication to be busily engaged in POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS (By the Innocent Bystander.) The round of the week has brought one or two additional political developments, most important and acceptable perhaps being the announcement by R. Y. Williams of his candidacy for the superior judgeship. R. Y. Williams is so well known of all men in Orange county that further mention of him here were uncalled-for, as it is an accepted fact that he is eminently fitted to fill the place and has hosts of warm friends among representatives of all the various political parties who recognize in him a clean-lived, honorable gentleman, as well as a lawyer of exceptional ability. And these friends are convinced that this is the material out of which a competent superior judge can be made. This makes five aspirants for the two places to be filled, including Judges West and Thomas incumbents, W. F. Heathman, L. A. Daniel and R. Y. Williams. And although prognostications are away below par and political predictions are possibly worth less than 10 cents a peck, it's a safe guess that the ultimate winners will be Williams and West. Paste this pointer in your hat and see how far it misses the mark. Another development of more or less interest is the assurance that J. C. Needham will be a candidate for Congress in the 11th district, as while he said here last Saturday that he had not quite decided the matter, it is generally understood that he will be the choice of the Republicans to oppose Kettner. Needham was here by invitation in attendance at a meeting of the Republican county central committee and was endorsed by that body by unanimous vote. J. S. Stearns, first assistant engineer in the employ of the county high- and his friends say he will win hands down in the forthcoming fifth district marathon. A persistent rumor that P. L. Tople would try for the county clerkship has proved to be but an outburst of hot air, as it is reported that Mr. Tople has no intention of being offered up as a sacrifice, and will refuse absolutely to enter the lists against County Clerk Williams. Mr. Tople has resided here for several years and before coming here was a resident of Anaheim, where he was principal of the public schools in that city. Mr. Tople has a handsome home out A BIT OF HISTORY The original name of Vera Cruz, given it by Cortez, was la Villa Rica de la Santa Vera Cruz, signifying the Rich City of the Holy True Cross. It has at different times been conquered by Spaniards, Frenchmen, Britons and Americans. In March, 1847, General Scott at the head of 12,000 American troops landed near Vera Cruz. The city was invested and two weeks later a four-day bombardment began, resulting in the destruction of the forts, the killing of 1,000 Mexicans and the capture of the city, with an American loss of but 11 killed and 56 wounded. Another development of more or less interest is the assurance that J. C. Needham will be a candidate for Congress in the 11th district, as while he said here last Saturday that he had not quite decided the matter, it is generally understood that he will be the choice of the Republicans to oppose Kettner. Needham was here by invitation in attendance at a meeting of the Republican county central committee and was endorsed by that body by unanimous vote. J. S. Stearns, first assistant engineer in the employ of the county highway commission, has tendered his resignation to take effect the first of June and will enter the employ of the River-side county highway commission in the capacity of assistant to the chief engineer. Stearns was not fired, but it is believed his dismissal was well within the immediate possibilities, and that he took time by the forelock and beat the highway commission to it. Consideration of the alleged deficit in the state treasury again brings up the matter of the advisability of abolishing the poll tax, a question on which the people will vote in November, next, to abolish the poll tax, which also runs over $800,000 a year, the State of California is facing a serious financial situation. It is necessary that we see to it that every dollar justly due the state is collected. We have been fortunate this year in increasing the revenue from the inheritance tax, but there is no possibility, of course, that it can be made to cover all actual and prospective loss of revenue. It will do its share, however, and during the next fiscal year probably will show another gratifying increase." A movement that had for its first tangible result the appointment of a censor committee to regulate theatrical productions and moving picture shows, particularly the latter when conducted in conjunction with vaudeville performances is still in progress, and it may surprise no one if the next city council is asked to place the ban on all such entertainments on Sunday and also to include pool rooms in the prohibitory order. It is alleged that the Sunday pool room and picture show are traps for the youth of the county seat and that their suppression on the Lord's Day and their better regulation on all other days is an imperative necessity if the work of the churches is not to be null- censor committee to regulate theatrical productions and moving picture shows, particularly the latter when conducted in conjunction with vaude-ville performances is still in progress, and it may surprise no one if the next city council is asked to place the ban on all such entertainments on Sunday and also to include pool rooms in the prohibitory order. It is alleged that the Sunday pool room and picture show are traps for the youth of the county seat and that their suppression on the Lord's Day and their better regulation on all other days is an imperative necessity if the work of the churches is not to be nullified and religious teachings go for naught. The feature of the movies most strenuously objected to is the so-called popular song whose coarse and suggestive allusions are calculated to impress themselves both by words and music and are therefore doubly lasting in effect. Commenting on this phase of cheap entertainment a writer in "Woman's World," aptly says: "We pass laws against the anarchist and we reverently salute the flag. We do so because the former is the enemy and the latter is the protector of our homes. "Yet, does any anarchist do more to create chaos than the vile assassin who, by ridicule in popular song, openly attacks the marriage relationship and undermines respect for the home, the very foundation of society? Suppose any song writer dared ridicule the flag of our country, how quickly would the insult be avenged? Yet the flag is merely the symbol of our homes. To such an extent have downright indecent and daringly suggestive songs been turned out that one gets the impression of an organized effort being made to corrupt the growing generation. Any effort to curb this evil should be hailed with satisfaction and encouraged." Another Richard in the field in the fifth supervisor district, where already there were three aspirants for the place. The fourth man is Harry Lewis, resident of Tustin, director on the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation board, gentleman farmer and Progressive of parts. Although such elaborate preparations are being made to hang Leck's hide on the political fence in the near future, Mr. Leck is saying nothing for publication but is reported to be busily engaged in sawin' wood, The communication received from Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher was referred to the attorney. It was moved by Wickett and seconded by Hale that the company give a strip of land 20 feet wide for a county road along the south line of the Gomber trace, provided the Stern Realty Company would donate a like amount.

On motion duly seconded and carried the board agreed to furnish the city of Fulerton with the necessary pipe to cross the Amalgamated road, provided the city would properly protect the line with cement bulkheads. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to put in a gate for V. Browning. On motion duly seconded the secretary was instructed to change the rate card to read: "All water shall be charged for at the rate shown on the card at the beginning of the run, irregardless of ending of run." On motion duly seconded the board agreed to furnish the pipe and cement necessary to pipe the open ditch in front of E. Yorde's property on Lincoln avenue, Annaheim.

But how few take heed or pay attention to it; especially storekeepers. You often go into a store and see goods pushed into the shelves in "any old way," don't you? Even the clerks do not know what is there, although some of it may have been there 20 years and often has been. How different when you go into a store that "Does Everything Decently and in Order" Where you find all the goods so well displayed that it makes shopping easier for the customer and the salesman. Such a store is the ANAHEIM DRY GOODS STORE in the OPERA HOUSE BLK. where you will not only find a bright, new, clean stock of merchandise displayed "Decently and in Order."
