Mr. Bryan retired from the cabinet because of irreconcilable differences between him and the president, as he alleges, is undoubtedly true; but that his retirement was caused because he could not sign the president's note to Germany which is a calm, dignified but firm state paper, may well be doubted. Mr. Bryan, since his advent into American politics twenty years ago, has been acrobatic rather than statesmanlike. That he has vaulted out of the cabinet at this moment merely to lay a foundation for making trouble for the president in the campaign next year, is probably not far from the truth. That his position in the cabinet of late has not been to his liking is also probably true, for the president has taken into his own hands the management of our foreign relations during the European war. There is nothing in the president's note which Mr. Bryan, could not as a pacificist, have agreed to. It is pacific, calm, dignified and friendly. It does not tend to bring the two nations into conflict; on the contrary, it leaves open the door to future friendly negotiations and concludes with acceptance of Germany's initiative that the United States act as mediator between Germany and England, with a view to bringing about a change in conditions of the naval struggle now. Mr. Bryan seems to have gone too bogganing. Will those booster and boosterettes at Newport Beach never get tired? Before a harbor can be built at Newport Beach, the Santa Ana river will have to be dredged to the ocean. If Orange county is to be taxed for the creation of a harbor at Newport Beach, we want to see the Santa Ana river dredged and made a navigable stream, so that ships can come up to Yorba Linda. How about it? Gov. Johnson has signed the bill providing for the formation of harbor districts, and we may now assume the people of Orange county will one of these days be called upon for the organization of an Orange county harbor district with a harbor erected at Newport Beach. After organization of the district, which will probably be balloted upon one of these fine days, an appropriation of money will very likely be asked for a survey, to be followed by a bond issue of a million dollars, or some such amount, for the harbor. Hold on there, Newport Beach! Wait a minute, till we catch our breath! Brother Bill Kettner seems to have given Newport Beach harbor the overlook, on the recent visit of members of the house committee on appropriations. If memory serves, Brother Bill promised the beaches an appropriation during his campaign last year, and great expectations were entertained at the coming of this important congressional committee. But Brother Bill steered them clear of the harbor, and after looking over the San Diego exposition the visitors beat it to the tall timber of the Yosemite. Newport Beach has not yet received the appropriation which Brother Bill There is nothing in the president's note which Mr. Bryan could not as a pacificist, calm, dignified and friendly. It does not tend to bring the two nations into conflict; on the contrary, it leaves open the door to future friendly negotiations and concludes with acceptance of Germany's initiative that the United States act as mediator between Germany and England, with a view to bringing about a change in conditions of the naval struggle now going on between these two countries. There will be no breaking off of diplomatic relations between this country and Germany. The two nations have been at peace since the founding of this government and neither will rush headlong into war because the other government maintains its position in counterious, dignified and firm negotiations. We expect that Germany will maintain her position in this manner, and that the President will base his conclusions upon equally as firm proposition, is not to be doubted. That the two governments need not clash in this friendly discussion is a matter which seems to us to admit of no question. Mr. Bryan states in one of his papers that he views with satisfaction the changed sentiment on the part of our warrior editors in discussing the probability of war with Germany. Granting his right to this sense of satisfaction upon the changed expression of these battlers of the press, what cause for alarm had he in the first place, might we ask, concerning these utterances? Does he not know that they were based upon his own statements, that his retirement from the cabinet was due to the fact that he could not append his signature to the note because it tended to promote war? Had he not perused the note, and did he not know that its terms were pacific, cordial and friendly? What right had he to vault out of the cabinet, besetting his chief as he did with added perplexities at a time when the president was entitled to the support of his advisors, his political adherents and the American people. He gives the intimation that these changed utterances on the part of our jingo editors were caused by changes in Mr. Wilson's note, but no one knows better than Mr. Bryan himself that not a single word nor phrase in that note was changed since he perused it at the state department the moment before his resignation took efface. OIL FIELD PROTECTION Gov. Johnson has signed the Maddux bill which provided for protection of the oil fields against underground waters. The new law places the matter under the jurisdiction of the State Mining Bureau, and provides that oil operators file all necessary data with the bureau. Engineers are to be stationed in various fields, in order that proper facility be given for the operation of the law. Legislation upon the matter of water infiltration in the oil sands of our California fields has been agitated for a number of years, and untold damage has long been recognized by the operators; but until this recent session of the legislature it seemed impossible to get the various operators to unite upon the proper means of regulation. The state bureau was requested to assist the oil industry, and its efforts have finally met with the hearty cooperation of all the various oil operators, resulting in a means of regulation to which there has been no opposition, and through which great benefits to the industry will ensue. CHARGED WITH GAMBLING Harry T. Caravantes is in a peck of trouble. He has been arrested on a charge of running a gambling point at Los Alamitos and he is having trouble raising $300 bail. The district attorney's office holds a $10 check that Constable Murillo of the sugar towns says was given by Caravante... when the president was entitled to the support of his advisors, his political adherents and the American people. He gives the intimation that these changed utterances on the part of our jingo editors were caused by changes in Mr. Wilson's note, but no one knows better than Mr. Bryan himself that not a single word nor phrase in that note was changed since he perused it at the state department the moment before his resignation took effect. There will be no war between the United States and Germany. Mr. Wilson is the last man in the country to bring about such a struggle. He is for peace with the whole world, but at the same time he is maintaining his position with dignity and firmness. We have been on friendly relations with Germany since the foundation of this government, and these friendly relations will, in our opinion, continue despite the fact that a difference of opinion exists between the two governments regarding recent events in the great European struggle. Germany has apologized for the Gulflight incident, and will make reparation for such losses as the vessel sustained. We fully believe she will deal with the other incidents of the war in friendly manner to this country, but if differences of opinion should arise between the two nations we do not believe that war will follow as an inevitable result. Editor Abbey of the Plaindealer, was held up and despolled of his valuables in the train robbery at Chatsworth the other evening. It is believed the robbers decided to hold up the train knowing that Mr. Abbey was a passenger thereon. They took from him his gold watch and a jolt of the long green bigger'n a link of liver sausage. These chaps know who's got the money these hard times. Harry T. Caravantes is in a peck of trouble. He has been arrested on a charge of running a gambling point at Los Alamitos and he is having trouble raising $300 bail. The district attorney's office holds a $10 check that Constable Murillo of the sugar towns says was given by Caravantes under the name of E. J. Cervantes. As yet no warrant has been issued in relation to the check, which has been reported by the National Bank of Long Beach as not paid on account of insufficient funds. It may be that no charge will be brought in the check case, since it is possible that it was a careless overdraft. Constable Murillo and about a dozen Mexican residents of Los Alamitos were in Santa Ana Saturday ready to back up a complaint made against Caravantes. M. Tapia swore to the complaint charging Caravantes with running a gambling joint. Caravantes has a barber shop at Los Alamitos. Sheriff Jackson went to Los Alamitos after the man, but he had gone. Saturday morning he appeared at Santa Ana and went to the office of Attorney Wallace W. Davis, and later to the justice's court, where a plea of not guilty was entered by Caravantes and his trial was seen for June 16. Swat the fly.

Depot at 9 o'clock, it has been definitely decided by the committee in charge. John Callahan has evolved a new scheme for replenishing his depleted pocketbook. He was arrested and arraigned before Judge Howard Tuesday on the charge of procuring money under false pretenses. His scheme was to hire men for an imaginary job, then touch them up for a small loan. One man from El Modena, came in with his team and was shown to a stable, belonging to somebody else by Callahan, who then borrowed two dollars from him. Other parties had a similar experience with him. After hearing the evidence the judge withheld his decision. Mrs. Cox and her daughter, Miss Mae Cayce, arrived in town on Monday from Paso Robles on a visit to Mrs. C. B. Polhemus, mother of Mrs. Cox. They made the trip south on horseback, riding a distance of 300 miles in four days. After a short visit here Mrs. Cox and daughter will return home. They are both enthusiastic horsewomen and are enjoying their outdoor trip to the fullest extent. J. E. Stroup and family returned Tuesday from San Francisco after an absence of a couple of weeks. They made the journey in an auto, carrying with them a camping outfit, and played Gipsy along the route. The weather being favorable the trip was an exceedingly pleasant one.

SUMMER SCHOOL OF RELIGION Never in its history has Berkeley promised to be so completely the Athens of the West as this year. An entirely novel feature is the summer school of religion under whose auspices such distinguished men as Prof. Walter Rauschenbusch of Rochester, Henry F. Cope of Chicago and Warren H. Wilson of New York are to appear. Besides the regular courses, for which a nominal fee will be charged, there are nine evening lectures which are open to the public. The timeliness of the topics may be judged from the fact that Dr. Rauschenbusch is scheduled for a lecture on Will the Woman Movement Save Society? and Dr. Cope for one on The New Democracy. Professors Charles E. Rugh and C. C. McCown begin their courses on June 21.
