Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE, HON. R. Y. WILLIAMS The present campaign is an unique one in this state in that partisan politics are, for the most part, barred, and the enclivity and fitness for the office which a candidate aspires to hold is the test to be applied by the voter. Judging by this test, and it is certainly one that appeals as one of greatest importance, there seems no reason in the world for doubting the success of R. Y. Williams as a candidate for judge of our Orange county superior court, at the coming primary election. No man of the legal profession in this whole county has a better reputation as a practicing attorney and it is safe to add that no member of the Orange county bar stands higher in the estimation of the people generally than does R. Y. Williams. He is a square man and his friends have just reason to feel proud of his record. R. Y. Williams is essentially an Orange county product, he having since early boyhood, lived in what is now Orange county. Some months ago the bar of this county endorsed him, with practical unanimity, as fully and in all respects qualified for superior court Judge, and as its choice for the position. The people of this county know him and have all confidence—not only in his legal ability, but in his disposition to deal fairly and justly with all persons and interests. As superior judge he would be an unqualified success and it is perfectly safe to assert that he will be given a magnificent vote of confidence when the day of the primary election arrives.—Santa Ana Ward has practiced law in San Diego, and today he stands well up in his profession, and is undoubtedly one of the best known attorneys of the state. At one time he was district attorney of San Diego county, and later elected to the senate. He was a member of the senate when the extraordinary session was called, immediately after the disaster in San Francisco. During all the years he has lived in San Diego he has been active in public affairs, devoting much of his time to those things that have to do with the advancement of the interests of the people of the state. Mr. Ward is a Republican, and firmly believes in the principles of that party. He is the only candidate for Lieutenant Governor whose home is in the southern part of the state, with the exception of John M. Eshelman, of Imperial county, who appears as a Progressive. CAPTAIN FREDERICKS A WINNER Reports from San Francisco and points beyond, visited by Captain John D. Fredericks, reveal a receptive condition most flattering to his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. In the northern metropolis the sentiment is decidedly pro-Fredericks, despite the rival candidacies of Messrs. Ralston, Keasling and Belshaw, all of whom have many friends in San Francisco. The feeling is paramount, however, that the Los Angeles candidate with no one to divide the Republican votes in the south, is a sure winner at the primary election, hence concentrating on him at this time is (the best way to insure his triumph in November). There is no doubt that Captain Fredericks' stock has taken an appreciable rise following his advent in the north. The same warm greetings that were a feature of his receptions in the San Joaquin valley have been markedly noticeable at points beyond, proving the truth of the assertion made several while the murderer Austrian territory; Emperor Franz clared the plot war and demanded a Servia, backed by Russia, backed by Russia began mobilier Wilhelm rushed Austria and that triple alliance; Italy time, but retreated trally. France, wiling with hostility since the session rained forty years as fray, ostensibly to sina, but in reality her ancient enemy has been hovering apparently unpractical cuse because German Belgian territory mired in the dispute. The affair now saw France and Russia groo and other suitors against Germany by the Anglo-Saxons, Muscovites against twenty million men within a day. The action in throwing the French frontier ber against Russias of the great Napoleon tines, and there be a peaceful settlement suit in the Kaiser's as did Napoleon ad or the disintegrated empire. In the meantime of the trouble has sailed. JIM SLEEPER Assessor Sleepers town, and in compassor J. J. Schneid leading business mills the community.

It was a notable gathering and the appearance of so many men who were anxious to serve the people threw the Buena Park ladies into despair for a time as they had not anticipated such an overwhelming crowd. While these candidates were banqueting and making merry with the voters from the uttermost corners of the county, Mr. Williams was immersed in the duties of his office getting out the great register. He was preparing copy with one hand and verifying proofs with the other, also pausing occasionally to transact some business relative to the office. Mr. Williams is now on duty from 7 A.

He is giving his personal attention to every detail of the work of printing the register, and will have little time to interview and glad-hand the electors unless he meets them in his own office. He will be overwhelmed until after the August primaries, but the voters throughout the county are keeping his memory green, and will see that he loses nothing by placing his official duties paramount to his private interests.

WARD FOR LIEUT.-GOVERNOR State Senator M. L. Ward, of San Diego, was in town on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by P. A. Stanton of Los Angeles, and Thomas B. Talbert of Huntington Beach, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors. Senator Ward is a candidate for the republican nomination for lieutenant governor, and while here met many leading republicans who pledged him their support in his canvass. He also spent some time at Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Placentia and other districts, in all of which he met many republicans who assured him of their support at the primaries. Senator Ward is one of the leading republicans of San Diego county, and indications point to his triumphant selection at the primary election August 25. State Senator Ward's campaign for the nomination for the office of Lieutenant Governor has received considerable impetus during the last few days. Senator Ward is soon to start on a tour of the state, going to San Francisco by the coast route and returning through the San Joaquin valley. A committee of San Diego County men and women has been organized to carry on a state-wide campaign for him. For the past 26 years Senator HOW ABOUT IT? Ed Vegeley of Santa Ana, who is a candidate for county assessor against James Sleeper, takes pains to inform the voter that he is a stand-pat republican. His brother, Pancho Vegley, who has a hand-in-the-management of his canvass, and who will doubtless be the dominant figure in the assessor's office in the improbable event of his election, is registered as a progressive. This is merely a matter of taste, of course, but when Pancho filled this office a number of years back, he placed a valuation of $100 upon producing oil wells in this district. Mr. Sleeper on coming into the office, raised the valuation of these wells to $15,000 each. Which of the two was the honest assessment, and who of these two men is the one best fitted to fill this office for the next four years? Sleeper, of course. Vote for him, and it is a cinch you will make no mistake, unless you want to go back to the old order of things, have the giant oil corporations pay less money for taxes, and unless you want to pay more taxes on your small holdings. Vote for Sleeper. THE DOGS OF WAR UNCHAINED The greatest war in all history is now imminent, and from appearances at the present time it looks, to a long distance observer, that no human agency can avert it. Great events sometimes develop from small incidents, and the present stupendous preparations for war which may possibly involve nearly all the nations of Europe, grew out of the assassination of Prince Ferdinand of Austria and his wife. KEEPING FAITH NEIGH Counties, as individual faith with those within solemn covenant voiced in no uncertain terms at the meeting of Chambers of Commerce Wednesday night. Practically unanimous pressure of opinion being of representative citizens that unnecessarily occurred in beginning of the Ollinda-Chino formation was opened after written by Supervisor nardino, who reminds that a mutual agreement tween the two councils construction of this high proposition had originated county; that San Becepted this county's faith and immediately its own end; that the county was just held that Orange county had work on its portion. entirely within the Fritz and Supervisor asked to explain the forces of the delay.

Kaiser Wilhelm rushed to the rescue of Austria and that other member of the triple alliance, Italy, bristled up for a time, but retreated and declared neutrality. France, which has been bristling with hostility toward Germany since the session of Alsace and Lorraine forty years ago, jumped into the fray, ostensibly to assist her ally, Russia, but in reality to strike a blow at her ancient enemy. England, which has been hovering on the outskirts, has apparently unparried a sufficient excuse because German soldiers invaded Belgian territory and has taken a hand in the dispute. The affair now stands with England, France and Russia, Servia, Montenegro and other small states arraymed against Germany and Austria. It is the Anglo-Saxons, the Franks and the Muscovites against the Teutons, and twenty million men may be in the field within a day. The German Emperor's action in throwing a million men at the French frontier and an equal number against Russia, recalls the deeds of the great Napoleon. If the war continues, and there is little likelihood of a peaceful settlement now, it will result in the Kaiser's dominating Europe as did Napoleon a hundred years ago, or the disintegration of the German empire. In the meantime the ostensible cause of the trouble has been lost sight of. JIM SLEEPER FOR ASSESSOR Assessor Sleeper spent Thursday in town, and in company of Deputy Assessor J. J. Schneider, met many of the leading business men and citizens of the community. He failed to find a single voter who was not his enthusiastic supporter pledging heart co-planation to the effect that this stretch of road was being constructed for the benefit of the entire county, and he did not feel justified in paying for it out of the funds of one district. He believed the county should pay the bill. Supervisors Talbert, Struck and Teck took issue with Schumacher and reminded him that the law prohibited the supervisors appropriating money in aid of a road district so long as it had funds lying idle, and that there was now available for use of the Fullerton district $17,000, whereas the Olinda road would cost less than $5000. There was no authority, therefore, for building this short piece of road except from the funds of the Fullerton road district. The responsibility for its construction consequently rested with Mr. Schumacher. If his fund was exhausted before next year's tax became available, the supervisors could, and gladly would, vote assistance in case of need, but they could not lawfully appropriate money for a road in any district until its own fund was exhausted. The fact that Orange county had taken no step toward carrying out its agreement with her sister county, although that county had practically completed its part of the whole contract, caused some of the speakers to feel that we could be just censured for bad faith and our neighbors commiserated for misplaced confidence. On a motion demanding immediate action in order to keep faith with our neighboring county and complete a valuable piece of highway, there was not a dissenting vote. Let work upon this road immediately begin, if for no other reason than to keep faith with our neighboring county. But, more than this, the road is necessary for travel between the two contiguous counties and furnishes the only means of reaching the upper valley, from the northeastern precincts of Orange county. This district is largely interested in the road, as are also residents in our neighbor- one of the most justly popular men in the county, and the best equipped, perhaps, of any to fill the important position to which he aspires. Three women and four men started in the race-for state superintendent of public instruction, but two of the women fell by the wayside, and but one remains to fight it out with four mere men. The women who failed to have their names certified by the secretary of state are Kate Ames of Napa and Margaret E. More of Sonoma. The successful woman is Mrs. N. E. Davidson, of Hanford. The other candidates are Hugh J. Baldwin, A. J. Cloud, Edward Hyatt, Incumbent, and Allison Ware. As the office is non-partisan, the names of the candidates will be on every ballot. With primary election but three weeks distant, the more astute political prophets are reported to be able to see with clearer vision what-the ultimate outcome will be, and these are touting Williams and West to win in the fight for the superior judgelships, although it will be a close race between West and Thomas. From the beginning of the campaign until quite recently West's chances seemed much better than Thomas's, but the latter's stock has risen within last few weeks, and with the whipping finish expected from him between now and the date of the primary, he is considered a dangerous contender by West's supporters. The Mexican question belowthe line is serious enough in all conscience, but the Mexican question that confronts this county is still more serious in its local bearing. Briefly stated,the cost to this county caused by irresponsible Cholos is something enormous,and while,the matter is being handled bythe supervisors andthe sheriff'sofficeas well as it can be under present conditions, there seemsa needformoredramatic JIM SLEEPER FOR ASSESSOR Assessor Sleeper spent Thursday in town, and in company of Deputy Assessor J. J. Schneider, met many of the leading business men and citizens of the community. He failed to find a single voter who was not his enthusiastic supporter pledging hearty cooperation in an effort to secure for him unanimous endorsement at the polls. No candidate who has campaigned here has met with greater or more instantaneous success than has this incorruptible official. Mr. Sleeper during the week visited Fullerton, the oil districts and other precincts in the northern portion of the county, and in every one of them has found voters enthusiastic for his re-election. If he runs as well at the county seat and in other sections in the southern districts, there will doubtless be few votes remaining for his opponent. If Mr. Sleeper did no other one thing than to adjust values equitably in the oil fields, which required a man of considerable moral courage because of the fact that these properties were for years undervalued, and never paid their just proportion of taxes until he was chosen to fill the office of assessor, he should receive unanimous endorsement at the polls. Oil wells previously assessed at $100 in this district, and which produced tens of thousands of dollars of oil annually, he raised to $15,000 per well. Thus a poor man owning a house and lot valued at $1000, previously paid as much taxes as ten of these wells, while the increment from these wells was many thousand times that of the other and less fortunate taxpayer. The poor man's cottage serves only as a shelter for his wife and family, while these ten wells of a giant oil corporation produce hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars in oil annually; yet the poor man paid as much taxes into the county treasury on the home of his wife and children as did this giant oil corporation upon these ten wells. But this is not all that stands to the credit of Mr. Sleeper. He has adequately assessed all large and wealthy corporations in the county, as well as the millionaire land barons, who previously escaped just taxation. He is practically the only assessor Orange county has ever had, and that he will be retained in office by unanimous vote of the people is a matter that valuable piece of highway, there was not a dissenting vote. Let work upon this road immediately begin, if for no other reason than to keep faith with our neighboring county. But, more than this, the road is necessary for travel between the two contiguous counties and furnishes the only means of reaching the upper valley, from the northeastern precincts of Orange county. This district is largely interested in the road, as are also residents in our neighboring county, and that San Bernardino should have completed its road to our county line, and that work upon our section by the supervisor of this district not having yet been begun, is unfortunate, not only because it prevents travel over the thoroughfare, but that it also shows an apparent lack of good faith toward San Bernardino county. Good citizens of Orange county will have none of this sort of work. San Bernardino has completed its road to our county line, and it is at least up to us to show that county that we are men of our word. It was absurd to delay work upon the road, because funds for its construction cannot be secured from the general fund, when there are $17,000 in the Fullerton road fund, and the Chino road will cost less than a third of this amount. Moreover, should funds in the Fullerton road district be at any time crippled, Supervisors Talbert, Struck and Teck stand ready to offer all reasonable assistance to the supervisor of this district in carrying out road work. Further than this, many miles of roadway in this district have been paid by the state and county highway commissions, and these roads will not require appropriations of money from the road district funds. Let the work upon the Chino road begin immediately. POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS (By the Innocent Bystander.) The count of noses of bona fide registered voters in the county has been completed, and the roster shows 21,097 eligibles, of which nearly one-half are republicans, or to be exact, the figures are as follows: Republicans ... 9,008 Democrats ... 4,375 Progressives ... 3,200 Decline to state ... 1,968 Prohibition ... 1,687 The Mexican question below the line is serious enough in all conscience, but the Mexican question that confronts this county is still more serious in its local bearing. Briefly stated, the cost to this county caused by irresponsible Cholos is something enormous, and while the matter is being handled by the supervisors and the sheriff's office as well as it can be under present conditions, there seems a need for more drastic measures in dealing with the question. The average Cholo is about as amenable to law or reason as the average coyote, and when a couple of these dusky undesirables with skins full of dago red get together, the result is generally that one goes to the hospital and the other to the county jail, while the families of both go to the poor farm to be fed at the expense of the taxpayers. A case in point is the fracas at Buena Park last Saturday night, when one Cholo slashed another with a razor with evident intent to murder, during the progress of a drunken row. Booze was at the bottom of the trouble, as the men were drinking at a shack kept by "a rag and a bone and a hank of hair" in the shape of a Mexican woman, who is reported to maintain a blind plg for the accommodation of beet harvesters. The wounded man was sent to the Santa Ana hospital and the cost of caring for him will fall upon the county, while the expense of hunting up his assailant and dealing with him as the law provides will also be a charge against the taxpayer. Dismissal of Spanish War veterans from the government service in the Philippines, which is raising a storm at Washington, has elicited from United Spanish War Veterans in Los Angeles a set of hot resolutions. Taking the lead, Roosevelt camp upbraids the Wilson policy of supplanting Spanish War civil service men with Filipinos. "We demand that in providing for the larger participation of the Filipino people in the affairs of their government our government provide for the men who have made the condition possible." This is the word sent to Washington. The committee on legislation of Roosevelt camp is P. C. Mulqueoney, chairman; Dana R. Weller, E. A. Lane, Capt. John D. Fredericks and John T. Curtlin. Motley H. Flint, former postmaster KEEPING FAITH WITH OUR NEIGHBOR Countles, as individuals, should keep faith with those with whom they enter into solemn covenant. This fact was voiced in no uncertain terms by speakers at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Buena Park Wednesday night. Practically unanimous was the expression of opinion by the large gathering of representative Orange county citizens that unnecessary delay had occurred in beginning the construction of the Olinda-Chino road. The question was opened after hearing a letter written by Supervisor Pine of San Bernardino, who reminded the members that a mutual agreement existed between the two counties for the construction of this highway; that the proposition had originated with Orange county; that San Bernardino had accepted this county's promise in good faith and immediately started work on its own end; that the section in that county was just being completed; and that Orange county had not yet begun work on its portion. The highway is entirely within the Fullerton road district and Supervisor Schumacher was asked to explain the whys and wherefores of the delay. He made an ex- The count of noses of bona fide registered voters in the county has been completed, and the roster shows 21,097 eligibles, of which nearly one-half are republicans, or to be exact, the figures are as follows: Republicans ... 9,008 Democrats ... 4,375 Progressives ... 3,200 Decline to state ... 1,968 Prohibition ... 1,687 Socialist ... 849 This looks like 23 for Johnson et al, although certain progressives persist in the statement that a goodly number of those who registered as republicans will vote the Bullmoose ticket. Not that there is any earthly reason to believe that such will happen, but the wish is father to the thought, or perhaps political auto-intoxication would be the better explanation. Republicans are not doing the talking, however. The progressives are doing it them, and as in all other cases where people talk about things they know nothing about, there are apt to be some inaccurate statements made. The Bystander never bets, but if he were a betting man would like to make a little wager that Fredericks carries the county by anywhere from ten to fifteen hundred votes. Don't all speak at once, gentlemen. R. Y. Williams has been so busy with legal business that up to now he has had no time to devote to his campaign for the superior judgeship, but between now and the date of the primaries he will make it a point to see as many of his friends as possible to remind them of the fact that Orange county expects every voter to do his or her duty, that duty, of course, being to vote for R. Y. Williams. And, believe me, they are going to do it, for R. Y. Williams is Motley H. Flint, former postmaster in Los Angeles, and a brother of former Senator Frank P. Flint, stalwart leader among republicans south of the Tehachepil, seems sure of the situation so far as Fredericks' candidacy is concerned, as in a recent interview in San Francisco he talked as follows: "You may say for me," said Flint, "that 90 per cent of the republican vote in Southern California will be cast for Fredericks, and I shall estimate, in round figures, that 95 per cent of the registration of all parties will be voted. The primary election will see the biggest total vote polled in this state that has ever been counted. The reason for this is that there are so many candidates on the ballot; every candidate has his friends whether he is running for justice of the peace, chief justice of the supreme court or any of the officers. The ballot this year will look like a roll of wallpaper unfurled. "It's a poor office that hasn't a dozen candidates aspiring for it, and the direct primary system certainly has this virtue—that the drawing power of the multiplicity of candidates will bring to the polls every registered voter that is not a paralytic—this without regard to party."

California spends $9 per year per student in the schools of the state, according to the apportionment of the school funds by the state controller, the total apportionment for elementary schools aggregating $5,359,579, and a school population of 297,884 students. The amount apportioned to the various counties by the state is based upon the ratio of $250 to each teacher and $9.06 for each student of average attendance. Superintendent of Public Instruction Hyatt reports 556 more teachers and 17,499 more pupils in average daily attendance. Los Angeles receives the largest apportionment from the state. With 66,962 in daily average attendance, the county's credit is $119,844.08. San Francisco is second, with a total enrollment in elementary schools of 38,096, calling for $68,191.84. For the first time in her history, Canada last year was the leading wheat exporting country in the world. Her exports for the year amounted to 129,950,000 bushels, compared with 121,938,000 from Russia. Argentina, which stood third on the list, exported 102,275,500, and the United States was fourth with 99,410,000 bushels. These figures deal with wheat in the raw state, for in the exports of flour, the United States exceeded Canada by nearly three times, sending out 12,273,700 barrels to Canada's 4,894,500 barrels. Governor Johnson talks glibly of the "poison press," which includes every California newspaper opposing his re-election. In the governor's opinion, every newspaper which is opposed to him, is "poison," while those newspapers which receive state patronage from him, and which, therefore, are unanimous for his re-election, are pure and holy examples of the newspaper craft. Of course these papers are not poison. They are in the pay of the state administration, and are receiving large and lucrative orders for patronage from the governor. Of course they are not "poison," but those newspapers which are opposing Johnson's re-election, and which receive no patronage from him are, in the governor's opinion, "poison," because they are not his shouters. This appears to be queer reasoning on the governor's part. Seeing defeat ahead of him he loses his temper and becomes vindictive at every newspaper which has the courage of its manhood, and which easily opposes him and his army of battlers for the Lord.
