If competency in office counts for anything, County Clerk Williams should sweep the county at the primaries next month with but few if any dissenting votes. That he will do this, carrying every precinct in the county by a flattering vote, leaves little room for doubt. Mr. Williams is at the present time the most industrious official at the court house, and while other candidates are glad-handing the voter in every precinct, he is tied down to his office with more work in hand than ever massed up in the clerk's office before. In the first place, he is preparing the great register for use at the primaries, and this is indeed a herculean task. The register will probably contain the names of 20,000 voters, and each voter must be accurately placed in his voting precinct. Each name carries with it six subdivisions, there being thus 120,000 of these subdivisions in the register. Mr. Williams is at work upon this task day and night, and in passing it may be said that he receives no extra compensation for overtime put in for the good of the people. He rarely takes off his full noon hour, is at his office before other officials at the court house, and remains on the job long after hours. A single error in the placing of a voter upon the register means his practical disfranchisement, as each voter must be in his designated precinct, and all subdivisions pertaining to his name must be accurately set forth, or he will have trouble on election day. Mr. WILLIAMS SLEEPER STILL ON THE JOB Angressor Jim Sleeper on Wednesday last received a check from the Standard Oil Company in amount $62,736.43. He had previously received from this company over $3,000 which makes the total payment for this company $66,200. This sum of money was paid him for taxes due Orange county for the past year. These taxes were due on the first of July, and as the company had refused to pay the amount, Sleeper notified it he would proceed to attach its property forthwith. The check came along in the mails without further notice. This is the largest sum of money ever paid by any person or corporation for taxes in Orange county, but, large as it is, it represents only about a week's output of the company's colossal well on the Emery ranch. This well produced in four months no less than $890,000 worth of oil. It is one of the largest oil wells in the world, and Sleeper has done nothing more than to assess it adequately. Sleeper continues right on the job, assessing rich and poor alike. A slush fund of $10,000 is said to have been raised by millionaire tax dodgers to defeat him and other county officials, among them County Clerk Williams and Supervisors Talbert, Struck and Lock. We imagine this amount of money is not enough to defeat these men. Indeed, all the money of these plutocrats put together would fall of this purpose. They have proven their honesty and capability in office, and no slush fund, however large, can make any impression with the people against them. A vote for these men, and each of them, will be a vote for honesty in public office. A vote against them would be a dishonorable act on the part of any voter in Orange county. What would you say of the gall of a man who aspires to a county office at the court house, and who, securing possession of a county warrant due another firm in the amount of $800, POLITICAL (By the Innocent) Any possible war may have lingered those uninformed about "Jim" Sleeper to find a sessor of Orange county been removed by the Sleeper in collect property taxes of Company, when they forced to hand over $62,736.43 under paid attachment of the city near Fullerton common with other this county, has much less than its size Sleeper took things has been made equitable basis even applied to the actual lands we have come to be the most feared officials these particular intents Sleeper, however that his figures we delivered his ultima in spite of remorse and even threats, bluster and bumpee him the big oil company do the coon act as when Sleeper threatens. What Sleeper did and was performed and between you and post it just happen exact psychological to the attention of sterling qualities of perhaps the most in the county, and wh able and manly meet to the place. receives no extra compensation for overtime put in for the good of the people. He rarely takes off his full noon hour, is at his office before other officials at the court house, and remains on the job long after hours. A single error in the placing of a voter upon the register means his practical disfranchisement, as each voter must be in his designated precinct, and all subdivisions pertaining to his name must be accurately set forth, or he will have trouble on election day. Mr. Williams has promised that there shall not be one single error in the register, and we have no hesitation in saying that this statement will be found true to the letter. All this work is being done under his personal supervision, and not a single precinct register will be put out for the election before receiving his eagle-eyed scrutiny and endorsement. It's a man's job, and the county clerk is making good. He is also preparing to mail out 20,000 sample ballots to voters throughout the county. Under the new primary law sample ballots are an intricate and difficult piece of composition, and a single error in them would spell disaster. But there will be not a single error in them, for County Clerk Williams is not built along those lines. Competency in his office is his watchword, and this great task of preparing sample ballots and mailing them to voters is being done under his personal supervision, as in the case of the great register. The preparation of the call for the primaries, the designation of precinct polling places, and the selection of election officials is another task now demanding his attention. Added to these duties are the multifarious demands upon his time which the office imposes upon him. He is right on the job, early and late, attending to all these duties. He attends the meetings of the board of supervisors and the board of equalization, keeps their records accurately, files all papers submitted to him in his office, issues marriage licenses and birth certificates, hunts up a justice of the peace to join in lawful wedlock two loving young hearts that beat as one, kisses the bride, sometimes helps the bridegroom pay for his license to marry, is roused out of bed at midnight's mysterious hour to issue more marriage licenses, and does a general land office business. He has been quite unable to leave his office in order to grab the horny-sliush fund, however large, can make any impression with the people against them. A vote for these men, and each of them, will be a vote for honesty in public office. A vote against them would be a dishonorable act on the part of any voter in Orange county. What would you say of the gall of a man who aspires to a county office at the court house, and who securing possession of a county warrant due another firm in the amount of $800, cashed it, converted the money to his own uses, and failed to pay it over until the lapse of nine months, and then only in part, and only after prison doors seemed to yawn before him? Wouldn't it get your goat? How would you like to vote for this little rooster? We don't believe you would think of doing it for a moment. Shooting off firecrackers may be all right for the Fourth, but have you noticed that the mocking birds have temporarily disappeared? City and County Briefs Yes, Madame, you can really save money at Roberts' Removal Sale. Miss Ida Bentz leaves today for a visit of several weeks with friends at Portland, Oregon. George W. Terry attended the convention of the Southern California Undertakers at Santa Barbara on Saturday. Jot Wood was in town on Tuesday selling cigars. He makes the entire western part of the country, and has just returned from a trip through Montana and the northwest. On watches and clocks you can save 20 per cent at Roberts' Removal Sale. Misses Katherine Enreal, Ottille Steckert and Pearl Requarth left Tuesday for Oakland to attend the Christian Endeavor convention. They go as delegates from the local society. Constable C. E.

He ently pushing his superior judgeship making good headway by pushing is not vying along as if it were advancing it suave elegance; ease and the gallant colonel various ramifications soelal life. A telling stunt laid by the colonel in his support as they judgeship there dates to elect, and sure enough vote-go-colonel offers to eff extent it would be a person who would ref him on a 50-50 basis. It's Williams a Heathman is reported recently at al equally careful constander is willing a colonel comes within. By the way, it is ally known that Colonel an ardent disciple outside of a chance an aspirant for politi suits him better than to trip the light faint measures of the dawn. The colonel's report of the old dances and runs all the way "split," his execution and the tango being just now colored. issues marriage licenses and birth certificates, hunts up a justice of the peace to join in lawful wedlock two loving young hearts that beat as one, kisses the bride, sometimes helps the bridegroom pay for his license to marry, is roused out of bed at midnight's mysterious hour to issue more marriage licenses, and does a general land office business. He has been quite unable to leave his office in order to grab the horny-handed voter by the mit, and will probably not be able to attend many social functions this summer, from San Juan to Seal Beach, or from Delhi to Olinda. He will be unable to sleep in the haystack with employees of threshing outfits on the San Joaquin, and he will be unable to occupy the bridal suite at the Mendleson hotel at Capistrano. He is attending strictly to the multifarious duties of his office while other candidates roam the county at large, seeing the merry voter from afar with the eye of a hawk. If capability and an inborn eagerness for hard work merits retention in office, Mr. Williams should sweep the county. We believe he will do this. If close attention to his duties and day and night application to his job are favored by the people, then he should have no fear of the result of the election. It is up to you, Mr. Voter. We commend him to your thoughtful consideration when stamping your ballot. Vote for him, and keep an honest, capable and hard-working man in the county clerk's office, where such a man is needed. An incompetent man in this office at this juncture would be a public calamity. Standard Oil is the heaviest taxpayer in Orange county, but when a weeks' product of one of its many wells is sufficient to pay the company's yearly taxes, John D. will have no difficulty in digging up the deniro.

Her daughter-in-law has been ill at a sanitarium in that city for some weeks past, but is convalescing. Ted is superintendent of a large gold mining company at Republic in that state. She will be absent several weeks. La Habra has started a crusade against that time-honored institution, the greased pig, which has hitherto been so popular at country 4th of July celebrations. The pig at La Habra on Saturday lay down and yielded up his life before the butcher could assist in his demise, and the La Habrans were so affected by the sight that they are going to start a campaign against the custom of catching pigs. J. W. Newman came in from Mexico last week and will remain with his family here until the 15th. He is located 120 miles south of Mexicall, where he is engaged in doing repair work for the Southern Pacific railroad company. The road had been destroyed by revolutionists and is now being placed in commission again. Mr. Newman states Mexicans are still maintaining a large force at Mexicall while American soldiers are in camp just across the line at Calexico. Several Mexicans have been killed by rebels at Mexicall and the country seems to be in turbulent condition. The Southern Pacific company is preparing to spend $2,000,000 in railroad construction south of the line. Secretary of State turned down an offer a life-cast of his cause of the inconvenience from being forced to closed for even the essary for the operative told in the press dispatched Emilion Garet, that at the State Department to make a life cast Secretary of State Garet, who made it the late Pope Leo I of Portugal and other Garet was met by vate secretary and sion.

"Well, first you say an operating chair barber or dentist or applying cold cream prevent the matrix whole face is covered mass of soapy clay," POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS (By the Innocent Bystander.) Any possible wavering doubt that may have lingered in the minds of those uninformed as to the fitness of "Jim" Sleeper to fill the office of assessor of Orange county must have been removed by the action taken by Sleeper in collecting the personal property taxes of the Standard Oil Company, when that corporation was forced to hand over the nice sum of $62,736.43 under pain of seizure under attachment of the oil company's property near Fullerton. The Standard, in common with other oil operators in this county, has in former years paid much less than its dues as taxes, but since Sleeper took office a new order of things has been inaugurated and assignments have been advanced to a more equitable basis, and this rule has been applied to the holdings of agri-lands as well as oil producing property with the result that Sleeper has come to be the most disliked and most feared official in the county by those particular interests. Sleeper, however, assured himself that his figures were right and then delivered his ultimatum and stood pat in spite of remenstrances, entreaties and even threats, and after all the blister and buncombe directed against him the big oil company was forced to do the coon act and "come down" when Sleeper threatened to shoot. What Sleeper did was a man's job and was performed in a manly manner, and between you and me and the gate-post it just happens to have been the exact psychological moment to bring to the attention of all concerned the sterling qualities of the man who holds perhaps the most important office in the county, and who seeks by honorable and manly means to be re-elected to the place.

He was gone after salting and sands of animated conversation ensued. When he responded he shook his head and said: "He was all ready to say yes until I told him about plastering up his mouth, but the secretary wouldn't stand for that part of the program." Another instance that may be cited where British court procedure is more speedy and the ends of justice more satisfactorily met than in this country is found in the case of a village blacksmith in the village of Tunstall, England, who was sent to jail for singing hymns in a loud and raucous voice regardless of the pitch and beat observed by other members of the church congregation taking part in the service. damage suit against a corporation and thereby demonstrate his callibre as a civil lawyer, his record as a prosecutor of criminals being already in evidence to satisfactorily speak for itself. When West was first elected to office he was an unknown quantity as a lawyer, being as he was a comparative stranger, but he soon proved his mettle and by sheer ability and unvarying fairness and courtesy he won the respect and esteem of both bench and bar, and every reputable attorney who has appeared against him may be depended upon to vouch for him in these particulars. It used to be the practice when West's predecessor held the office for certain local attorneys to try the district attorney instead of the case at bar, but West's coming changed all this and now these same attorneys laughingly admit that West is too good a criminal lawyer to permit any monkeying on the part of opposing attorneys, and they have accepted the inevitable and made a merit of necessity and now attend strictly to business when before the court. District Attorney West has made What Sleeper did was a man's job and was performed in a manly manner, and between you and me and the gate-post it just happens to have been the exact psychological moment to bring to the attention of all concerned the sterling qualities of the man who holds perhaps the most important office in the county, and who seeks by honorable and manly means to be re-elected to the place. Comparisons are odious and so the Bystander won't make any in this case, but it goes without saying that comparison will be made between Sleeper and his possible opponents before the time comes to decide the matter at the primary election, and if this comparison is fairly made it will be Sleeper first and the others nowhere. Colonel W. F. Heathman is persistently pushing his candidacy for the superior judgeship and is said to be making good headway. What is meant by pushing is not vulgarly trundling it along as if it were a wheelbarrow, but advancing it suavely and with that elegance, ease and precision for which the gallant colonel is noted in all the various ramifications of business and social life. A telling stunt lately put in practice by the colonel in his canvass is to ask for support as the second choice for the judgeship, there being two candidates to elect, and this is said to be a sure enough vote-getter, as when the colonel offers to efface himself to that extent it would be a hard-hearted person who would refuse to divide with him on a 50-50 basis. "It's Williams and me," Colonel Heathman is reported to have announced recently after a careful summing up of the situation, and after equally careful consideration the Bystander is willing to admit that the colonel comes within one of it. By the way, it is perhaps not generally known that Colonel Heathman is an ardent disciple of Terpsalchore, and outside of a chance to air himself as an aspirant for political office nothing suits him better than an opportunity to trip the light fantastic in the merry measures of the dance. The colonel's repertoire includes all of the old dances and most of the new, and runs all the way from the stately minuet to the sand shuffle and the "split," his execution of the hesitation and the tango being simply wonderful. Just now, the colonel is practicing a Another instance that may be cited where British court procedure is more speedy and the ends of justice more satisfactorily met than in this country is found in the case of a village blacksmith in the village of Tunstall, England, who was sent to jail for singing hymns in a loud and raucous voice regardless of the pitch and beat observed by other members of the church congregation taking part in the service. The charge against the blacksmith was disturbing the peace, and the complaint was sworn to by one of the church wardens who testified that the blacksmith's singing was so loud and so bad that the nerves of other church-goers gave way and the blacksmith became almost the only regular attendant at service. Jail sentence was imposed in lieu of a one-pound fine with costs, which the defendant refused to pay. The moral pointed by this story is that if similar action were taken here, several choir lofts would soon be decimated and the jail filled to overflow. A new sickness has made its appearance to plague the transcontinental traveler, the malady being akin to the mal de mer so dreaded by ocean-going voyagers. The place of its discovery is the heart of Kansas, the geographical center of the United States, and thousands of miles from the deep blue sea, and its cause is one of the greatest blessings of mankind—the Kansas wheat field. Travelers on railway trains in Central and Western Kansas tell some weird tales about the sickness. On nearly every line in the state, long, unbroken fields of wheat, five and six feet stalks, can be seen as far as the human eye can reach. And it is known far and wide that a wind or less gentle, blows most of the time in the Sunflower state. The wind, blowing against the thousands of acres of wheat, produces a billowy wave. The stalks go back and forth in continuous motion. It is a beautiful movement the wheat fields present to the eye of the traveler. It is even prettier than the hesitation waltz. A gentle sway is all there is to it, but railroad officials in Topeka have received a lot of trouble because of the activity of the Kansas humorist, the wheat field. There has been several cases where the traveler aboard a Kansas train has become sick because of the gentle wind which blows the wheat fields. West's predecessor held the office for certain local attorneys to try the district attorney instead of the case at bar, but West's coming changed all this and now these same attorneys laughingly admit that West is too good a criminal lawyer to permit any monkeying on the part of opposing attorneys, and they have accepted the inevitable and made a merit of necessity and now attend strictly to business when before the court. District Attorney West has made some enemies, of course; as who would not if he properly filled the office, for "no thief e'er felt the halter draw with good opinion of the law," and West has certainly made himself a menace to male factors of both high and low degree. But to these he has no apology to make, and he is presenting himself for re-election merely on his reputation as a man among men and his record as prosecuting attorney for the county. Nine gubernatorial candidates are now hard at work educating the dear people to a knowledge of the failures, weaknesses and shortcomings of the state administration, and the time has arrived for Governor Johnson to give a detailed account of his stewardship instead of the general statement made by him that he has made good and then some. Capt. John D. Fredericks, Francis V. Keesling, Charles M. Belshaw and William C. Ralston are the republican candidates, and Fred Hall, Edward White, John B. Curtin, Sydney Van Wyck and Charles King are the democratic aspirants for the place, and all are pouring hot shot into the Johnson camp, and each one is engaged in pointing out the weak points in the "progressive" policies. Psychological facts are the rule today. One of them is found in our imports of cotton cloth for the first three months of 1914, amounting to $4,539,295. During the first three months of 1913 the total was $2,407,120, a balance in favor of the foreigner of $2,132,175. Of woolen and worsened goods our imports for the first three months of 1914 were $7,664,370; for the first three months of 1913 they were $2,254,010 balance in favor of the foreigner for $5,410,360. As the amount of labor is at least 50 per cent on such manufactures, the factory workers of this country have lost $3,771,268 in wages during the first three months of this year an ardent disciple of Terpsichore, and outside of a chance to air himself as an aspirant for political office nothing suits him better than an opportunity to trip the light fantastic in the merry measures of the dance. The colonel's repertoire includes all of the old dances and most of the new, and runs all the way from the stately minuet to the sand shuffle and the "split," his execution of the hesitation and the tango being simply wonderful. Just now the colonel is practicing a two-step, that is, trying to keep in advance of either West or Thomas, and within that distance of Williams in the race for the judgeship. Secretary of State Bryan has recently turned down an offer to have made a life-cast of his classic features because of the inconvenience resultant from being forced to keep his mouth closed for even the brief period necessary for the operation. The story is told in the press dispatches which say that Emion Garet, the sculptor, called at the State Department the other day to make a life cast of the features of Secretary of State Bryan. It was Garet, who made the death mask of the late Pope Leo XIII, King Carlos of Portugal and other men of note. Garet was met by an assistant private secretary and explained his mission. "Would the assistant secretary kindly ask permission of the great man and arrange a date for a sitting?" "Tell me about it first so that I can explain the process to Mr. Bryan," said the assistant secretary. "Well, first you seat the subject in an operating chair something like a barber or dentist chair. Then after applying cold cream to the features to prevent the matrix from sticking, the whole face is covered with a plastic mass of soapy clay, which remains for Doctors at first tried to diagnose the trouble, but failed utterly. Finally one of them reached the conclusion that it was a new illness, wheat-sickness, that had caused the grief. And later circumstances point out that it is true. Trainmen report daily that several passengers have slight or serious attacks of wheat-sickness. Passengers declare that the train, running through the heavy stands of wheat, is similar to the sensation that occurs when a steamship plows through the "briny deep." Poor old Kansasail Life in the Sunflower state seems to be just one d—d thing after another. District Attorney L. A. West won a notable victory a few days ago in a stunt go back and forth in continuous motion. It is a beautiful movement the wheat fields present to the eye of the traveler. It is even prettier than the hesitation waltz. A gentle sway is all there is to it, but railroad officials in Topeka have received a lot of trouble because of the activity of the Kansas humorist, the wheat field. There has been several cases where the traveler aboard a Kansas train has become sick because of the gentle wind which blows the wheat fields. The sickness is akin to the popular one attained by nearly every person who crosses the ocean. One or two persons have become violently ill because of the wheat. And now the railroads are in receipt of several complaints because of this. They are powerless to stop the action of the wind, it would be unwise to cut the wheat near the railway tracks before it becomes ripe. And so, unless the wind ceases its operations in Central and Western Kansas, tourists going to the mountains and the Pacific Coast will experience seasickness in a new modern form. At the special election held in Placentia to vote on the proposed library district the proposition was defeated by a vote of 31 for and 45 against. It is said that some voters believed they could register and vote the same day, through a misunderstanding and that another election will be held on the same proposition. Canning Season!
