FREDERICKS A WINNER IN THE PRIMARIES LOS ANGELES MAN MAKING WINNING FIGHT THROUGH NORTHERN COUNTIES HAMMERING HIRAM JOHNSON'S ADMINISTRATION TO BEAT THE BAND Political quid nunc of the state are indulging their propensity to gossip and their tendency to predictions by outlining the probable line-up for the gubernatorial and other principal offices. It is pretty generally conceded by these wiseacres that the result of the primaries will give Fredericks, Johnson and Hall as the choice of the republicans, progressives and democrats respectively, with so good a lead for Fredericks over all other candidates that his election in November will be strongly foreshadowed in consequence. South of the Teachopli Fredericks has no competition, while his adherents in the north are enthusiastic in his support, recognizing that the south is entitled to name the governor this year, after an interregnum of 16 years. Fredericks has been in the San Joaquin Valley this week, revealing himself to the electorate in a manner that cannot fail to make friends for his cause. His earnestness, directness of speech and sincerity are so apparent that many who have been indifferent as to his candidacy, after hearing him, go away warm supporters and proselytizers in his behalf. The man has depth, he is a clear thinker, and a logical reasoner. His contact with the champions. Punishment, not exemplary but protective of society, would be certain. It was then that Fredericks resolved he would not gratify an ambition for a signal triumph which was probable in the end. He would yield and compromise. So the great trial closed with a confession by the dynamiters. There could have been no more forceful demonstration of his exalted views of exalted things, of his fitness for places higher than that of district attorney, than was this one incident. There are many other incidents in the life of Fredericks that exhibit his genius and courage and force. There is a matchless record of sixteen years of successes in the office of district attorney, but nothing that better proves that he can be depended upon in any position, no matter how glorious. John D. Fredericks would make a magnificent governor of California. KNOWLAND AT SANTA ANA A meeting of the Lincoln Republican Club will be held at Elks' hall, Santa Ana, Cal., this Thursday evening, July 23, at 8 o'clock. Hon. Joseph R. Knowland, member of congress from the 6th district, and candidate for United States senator, will be present and meet and address the club. Everybody Invited. WALTER EDEN, President. CREDITS REPUBLICANS It has been the custom of the present state administration to claim for the progressive party all the good legislation enacted in the state of late years. Even the state pure food law has been expropriated in this way, when the credit belongs without question to the republican party. Captain John D. Fredericks, in a recent address, pointed out that there had been a pure food law in the statutes since 1872, but it was inadequate to control many strong and selfish manufactures.

His earnestness, directness of speech and sincerity are so apparent that many who have been indifferent as to his candidacy, after hearing him, go away warm supporters and proselytizers in his behalf. The man has depth, he is a clear thinker, and a logical reasoner. His contact with the public in his sixteen years of service in the district attorney's office of Los Angeles county has resulted in the development of a strongly humane trend and an abiding desire to aid in ameliorating the lot of the unfortunates of society. His practical views on prison reform commend him to all those sincere people who, while they are non-partisan in politics, are decidedly in favor of the man in public life bent on devising ways and means to restore to right living the men and women struggling toward a firmer footing. In the entire history of jurisprudence there is probably no record of a trial where fairness more nearly became the absolute rule of the prosecution than was the case when the McNamara brothers were brought to book in the court of Los Angeles county. There have been few trials in history that attracted wider attention and where the lines between the conflicting interests were at the start more tightly drawn. It was a case where class was arrayed against class, where engendered prejudices were almost as strong as is the instinctive love for life. The man to whom nearly or quite all of the credit should be given for a fairness, almost unexamined, through that long, hard-fought legal battle, who never took an advantage that was not his by right, though the opportunities for taking such advantage were many and constant, was District Attorney John D. Fredericks. The culminating incident of that famous legal battle was when the district attorney consented to a compromise of the issues at stake. Clarence Darrow, the most celebrated criminal lawyer in America, came to Los Angeles to free the dynamiting McNamaran. He had $253,000 placed to his credit in banks as his fund for defense of the dynamitors. We all remember how many of our most astute attorneys declared that with Darrow conducting the dynamiters' defense,ent state administration to claim for the progressive party all the good legislation enacted in the state of late years. Even the state pure food law has been expropriated in this way, when the credit belongs without question to the republican party. Captain John D. Fredericks, in a recent address, pointed out that there had been a pure food law in the statutes since 1872, but it was inadequate to control many strong and selfish manufacturers of food who thought more of a dollar than of the health of the nation. He said: "This subject was seriously taken up in the thirty-seventh session of our legislature (Gillett governor) in 1907. Manufacturers of drugs and foods all over the United States sent lobbies to combat the movement, but without avail, and that legislature enacted a splendid and effective pure food law and provided the machinery to put it into effect. So far reaching was the act that in Los Angeles county, as district attorney, I found it necessary to employ men for months to explain the benefits and operation of the law to opposing merchants who today recognize and admit its efficacy and value. "Take the child labor laws. I care not what reforms are enacted or improvements proposed, if the childhood of the race is dwarfed, uncared for or neglected there can be no progress. Going back to the legislature of 1905 (Pardee governor), the republicans in control, the legislature enacted a law prohibiting child labor under certain ages, and regulating it under other ages. This was a new question then. The succeeding legislature, 1907 (Gillett governor), enlarged and improved the law and added compulsory education. The same legislature reduced the hours of labor for those selling drugs. "Our splendid election laws are the result of republican legislation, beginning with 1903 (Pardee governor), when the Australian ballot law was enacted, making the traffic in votes impossible. Following this came the direct primary, the registration of voters, and the republican legislature of 1907 enacted the purity of election law. Also it is well to remember that, beginning with 1907 the laws requiring fathers to support their children and husbands their wives were enacted by the republican legislature. If that is not progress and development, pray what is it?" Clarence Darrow, the most celebrated criminal lawyer in America, came to Los Angeles to free the dynamiting McNamaraa. He had $253,000 placed to his credit in banks as his fund for defense of the dynamiters. We all remember how many of our most astute attorneys declared that with Darrow conducting the dynamiters' defense, and with that vast sum raised by the labor unions, it would be impossible ever to convict the McNamaraa. Clarence Darrow supposed all along that it would be only a matter of court procedure before he would have the McNamaraas out of jail and free. But he was doomed to disappointment. As the chain of evidence was being slowly but surely forged about the two brothers by the prosecution, Darrow saw the end: It was he who began the negotiations for a compromise. Without hope of acquittal, he did cherish the hope of saving the necks of his clients. Knowing their guilt, he proposed their confession as an exchange for some kind of clemency. It was then that Captain John D. Fredericks rose to a height that surprised even his most enthusiastic friends. As capable as his great antagonist of seeing the end from the beginning, he knew that ultimate victory was ahead of him; but when? He thought he knew his jury, but suppose that jury had some weak member whose courage would shrink at finding convicted men guilty of a capital crime? Mafian threats had been made against some of the members if they did their duty. What if one or more of them would be weak enough to yield to such threats? Here was an opportunity to secure a confession which would forever silence the McNamaraa An "insidious lobby" has reached the White House and been very graciously received. Businessmen representing themselves and many commercial interests have been heard there in protest against pending legislation, the effect of which would, they fear, be injurious to trade and commerce. We hall the spread of light in dark places. Such intelligent individuals and bodies were, about this time last year, called insidious lobbies by Mr. Wilson himself for only trying to keep in touch with the congress and opposing then pending legislation believed to be as hurtful to business as any pending now. If it is true that such exertions of legitimate influence constitute insidious lobbies, it is equally true that the insidious lobby of the summer of 1914 is not less insidious than the one of 1913. In fact, it could not be less so, if psychological statesmanship has not found a method of subtraction which can work below the cipher mark. Putting such a miracle even beyond the power of psychological statesmanship, we must conclude that such statesmanship has learned the truth that there is neither lobby nor insidiousness in the exercise of the right of petition and remonstrance by any class of American citizens. FREE TEXTBOOKS DEMAND IS LOWER ONLY ONE-THIRD AS MANY REQUIRED THIS YEAR AS FOR PREVIOUS TERM TABLE SHOWING LATEST APPORTMENT OF SCHOOL FUNDS FOR VARIOUS COUNTIES The schools of California are only requiring one-third as many free text books for next year as for last year. Demands have already come in from 2,200 schools out of about 4,000, and since these include all the large cities of the state, it represents much more than half the total. A remarkable decrease in the demand is shown. Thus, San Francisco orders 47,730 books this year as against 127,349 for the same period last year. Los Angeles 41,643 this year, 124,253 last year, Long Beach 4,950 this year, 12,175 last year, a decrease of nearly two-thirds in each instance. San Diego orders 3,741 this year, which is less than one-fifth of last year's demand of 21,283; and Pasadena calls for 4,775 books this year, about one-fifth of the 23,050 needed last year. It was natural that a heavy call for books should be made at the inauguration of the system. The schools had to be stocked up. It was not sure that the state would be able to meet this emergency at all. The legislature appropriated half a million dollars, expecting it to be mostly consumed in this original stocking-up process. Those in charge of the enterprise hardly dared speak above a whisper. The result, however, is reassuring. Only The Candy Shop Next door to Postoffice PURE HOME MADE CANDY Get the Sweet Habit KIMBALL & JONES, Props.

The amount given from the state to the county is $250 per teacher and $9.06 on average daily attendance as reported by the county superintendent of schools June 30, 1913. This year was given out $291,025.24 more than for the last school year, but there were 556 more teachers than for the year before and 17,399 more pupils in average daily attendance; hence the rate per pupil fell from $9.08 last year to $9.06 this year.

It was natural that a heavy call for books should be made at the inauguration of the system. The schools had to be stocked up. It was not sure that the state would be able to meet this emergency at all. The legislature appropriated half a million dollars, expecting it to be mostly consumed in this original stocking-up process. Those in charge of the enterprise hardly dared speak above a whisper. The result, however, is reassuring. Only half the fund has been expended and the needs for the second year are very greatly reduced. The California free text plan is an undoubted success and the state will never recode from it. While a new project of such magnitude must be marked by an occasional small mistake or misunderstanding now and then, it is good to find the general plan working out according to schedule, and to find that the school people of the state, the many thousands of teachers and trustees, may be trusted to do the right thing in making it effective and economical. The individual school district is the unit in distributing free books. The principal of the school makes out a requisition for the books needed. This is examined and approved by the district clerk and by the county superintendent, to ensure a just and reasonable demand. The state superintendent questions and requires explanations in case requisitions appear excessive. Teachers and all other officers are enjoined to use all the care and moderation in ordering state books that would be used if the parents were buying them. Every order and every book contains an appeal to the teacher and to the pupil for co-operation and wise care in the use of the books and in getting full service from them. The proof of a pudding is in the eating. Following is the apportionment of school funds made to various counties of the state on July 7: Average daily attendance, June 30, 1913 Alameda 28,404 $50,843.16 Alpine 33 59.07 Amador 1,221 2,185.59 Butte 3,859 6,907.61 Calaveras 1,342 2,402.18 Colusa 929 1,662.91 Contra Costa 4,928 8,821.12 Del Norte 412 737.48 El Dorado 896 1,603.84 Total apportionment 1913 Great European Oil Company Will Construct $6,000,000 Pipe Line Fulfillment of the Royal Dutch-Shell combine's plans is proceeding with greater vigor than at any time since they entered this state. The scheme of their projected activities which will be on a greater scale than in any other section, with the possible exception of Orient, is well worked out. Construction of the big $6,000,000 pipe line will be started in the course of a few weeks. Nearly all of the necessary equipment has been ordered and is due to arrive in California shortly. Details of the surveys, etc., are almost complete, and other work is being cleared up rapidly. The pipe line is, of course, the fulcrum upon which will swing the activities of the combine. Without it they could do practically nothing toward expanding their operations unless they should decide to take over some other corporation. For a long time the latter course was contemplated. It is known that on one occasion the combine examined the Associated Oil Company's properties, etc., with a view to purchase, and that they were also seriously considering opening negotiations for the Union Oil Company on several occasions. Nothing came to maturity in either of these cases, however, and it is now evident that the combine will build up their business on self established foundations. FRUIT GROWERS ORGANIZE The Farmers' and Fruit Growers' Association Federation of Southern California was organized Wednesday at Los Angeles for the purpose of fighting the proposed eight-hour maximum day amendment to the state constitution. The federation will ask all the agricultural organizations to become affiliated with the federation. It is claimed by the new organization that the passage of the eight-hour amendment would increase the cost of production of citrus and deciduous fruits, as well as of agricultural products. F. Q. Story, president of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, was elected president. F. O. Wallschlaeger was made secretary and treasurer; H. B. Chase of Riverside, vice-president; E. G. Dezell, assistant manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, was elected second vice-president, and Alameda 28,404 $50,843.16 Alpine 33 59.07 Amador 1,221 2,185.59 Butte 3,859 6,907.61 Calaveras 1,342 2,402.18 Colusa 929 1,662.91 Contra Costa 4,928 8,821.12 Del Norte 412 737.48 El Dorado 896 1,603.84 Fresno 13,236 28,692.44 Glenn 1,208 2,162.32 Humboldt 4,531 8,110.49 Imperial 1,947 3,485.13 Inyo 649 1,161.71 Kern 4,658 8,337.82 Kings 2,578 4,614.62 Lake 756 1,353.24 Lassen 596 1,066.84 Los Angeles 66,952 119,844.08 Madera 1,070 1,915.30 Marin 2,556 4,575.24 Mariposa 415 742.85 Mendocino 3,060 5,477.40 Merced 2,544 4,563.76 Modoc 947 1,695.13 Mono 106 189.74 Monterey 2,884 5,162.36 Napa 2,062 3,690.98 Nevada 1,867 3,341.93 Orange 5,902 10,564.58 Placer 2,056 3,680.24 Plumas 596 1,066.84 Riverside 4,798 8,588.42 Sacramento 7,219 -12,922.01 San Benito 893 1,588.47 San Bernardino 7,538 13,493.02 San Diego 9,428 16,876.12 San Francisco 38,096 68,191.84 San Joaquin 6,308 11,291.32 San Luis Obispo 3,689 4,813.31 San Mateo 3,704 6,630.16 Santa Barbara 3,140 6,520.60 Santa Clara 10,416 18,644.64 Santa Cruz 3,130 5,602.70 Shasta 2,214 3,963.06 Sierra 426 762.54 Siskiyou 2,254 4,034.66 Solano 2,851 5,103.29 Sonoma 6,694 11,982.26 Stanislaus 4,776 8,549.04 Sutter 1,056 1,890.24 Tehama 1,833 3,281.24 Trinity 337 603.23 ORANGE COUNTY'S SOIL "From a soil standpoint Orange county is the richest district of any we have visited in Southern California and we have been in every section in the southern part of the state including the Redlands and Riverside districts. "The prospective future of Orange county is far ahead of any other section. "You do not have to depend upon your citrus products alone to assure your success in agricultural activities; the soil in your county admits of the cultivation of a greater range of products than is possible in any other section that we have visited." These and other equally enthusiastic remarks were made by representatives of the Lord and Thomas advertising agency which has headquarters in New York and Chicago. The Lord and Thomas agency is one of the largest concerns in the United States devoted to publicity. The party was taken to various points of interest throughout the country by the managers of the Orange County Fruit Exchange. J.P.Hatzfeld and wife were visiting old friends in Anaheim last week.
