THE BROKEN PLEDGES There is one plank of the democratic platform of 1912 that will certainly not be repeated in the platform at St. Louis in 1916. That is the closing paragraph which asserts that "our pledges are made to be kept when in office as well as relied upon during the campaign." To insert that plank in the platform of 1916 would make the democratic national convention the laughing stock of the whole country. The convention itself could not restrain its expression of mirth over such an assurance as that. The first pledge in the platform of 1912 related to the tariff and asserted the purpose of the party to revise the tariff "by legislation that will not injure or destroy legitimate industry." Every citizen of the United States knows, and the records of the department of commerce demonstrate, that the democratic tariff threw our markets open to competition with the products of cheap labor in Europe and Asia, with the result that our factories were either closed or went on part time, employees were thrown out of work, their purchasing power was reduced and the injury was reflected upon every legitimate industry in the United States. That injury was overcome by the outbreak of the European war, which established an almost absolute protection of American industries. PACKING HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE FULLERTON SUFFERS FROM A DISASTROUS BLAZE EARLY SUNDAY EVENING LOCAL DEPARTMENT RESPONDS TO CALL FOR HELP AND DOES SPLENDID WORK Two and one-half minutes after the sounding of the siren Sunday night the Anaheim fire department was at the scene of the blaze in Fullerton with thirteen of the nineteen members of the company present. The call for help came in shortly after nine o'clock. Many minutes before it came the illumination in the sky proclaimed that a fire was raging in our sister town. After receiving the massage it was necessary for Cooney Mauerhan, engineer of the fire truck, to communicate with Mayor Schneider and get permission before taking the truck out of the city. As soon as permission was given he directed the siren to blow and started for Fullerton. Thirteen of the boys were able to respond in time to accompany the truck. The fire was a disastrous one for Fullerton. It originated in the packing plant of the Benchley Fruit company, and when discovered it had made such headway that it was evident the plant was doomed to destruction. The Anaheim boys were put to work on the packing house of the Fullerton Mutual Orange Growers' association, and suc- kets open to competition with the products of cheap labor in Europe and Asia, with the result that our factories were either closed or went on part time, employees were thrown out of work, their purchasing power was reduced and the injury was reflected upon every legitimate industry in the United States. That injury was overcome by the outbreak of the European war, which established an almost absolute protection of American industry from foreign competition and created a market for our goods unequaled in our history. The next plank in the platform of 1912 pledged the democratic party to "reduce the cost of living," but government records show that the cost of living increased, even before the outbreak of the European war, and that cost has risen by enormous strides ever since. The next plank pledged the democratic administration to a vigorous enforcement of the criminal as well as the civil laws against trusts, the party having asserted that the record of the republican party in this respect was one of failure. Upon this pledge the democratic party secured many votes, but it has absolutely nothing in its records to show that any illegal trust has been successfully prosecuted, either civilly or criminally. The next plank pledged the democratic party to keep each of the coordinate branches of the government within its own bounds and not to permit one to encroach upon the just powers of any of the others. Notwithstanding that pledge, it is notorious that the democratic majority in congress has accepted dictation from the White House in matters of legislation. The income tax and popular election of senators were the next planks in the platform, but upon these there was no issue as the republicans had already submitted the constitutional amendments for these measures to a vote of the state and they were advocated by both parties. The next two planks advocated presidential primaries and a single term for the president, both of which pledges have been ignored or violated. The next important pledge was protection of the personal and property rights of American citizens at home and abroad, and the upholding of the honor and dignity of the nation—a pledge that has been so frequently violated as to make it hazardous for a man to claim American citizenship in precedented number of executive orders permitting deserving democrats to be placed in the classified civil service without their taking the competitive test to determine their merit or ability. Extension of the rural delivery service was another pledge. The character of extension this administration has made in the rural delivery service has been such as to bring protests was given he directed the siren to blow and started for Fullerton. Thirteen of the boys were able to respond in time to accompany the truck. The fire was a disastrous one for Fullerton. It originated in the packing plant of the Benchley Fruit company, and when discovered it had made such headway that it was evident the plant was doomed to destruction. The Anaheim boys were put to work on the packing house of the Fullerton Mutual Orange Growers' association, and succeeded in saving that building. The Fay building, occupied by the Sutherland Fruit company, caught fire and was destroyed. The Anaheim boys were away from home two hours and did heroic service in preventing the spread of the fire. The building where the fire started was owned by E. K. Benchley. In addition to fruit, walnuts were packed in the house, the Golden Belt company owning the machinery. The orange packing machinery was owned by William Benchley. The fertilizer building adjoining the Benchley building was partially destroyed, and its contents ruined by water. All the railroad signal circuits controlling the switches and signals in the yard were put out of commission, also two Home telephone cables and the telegraph wires south of the track. A car loaded with oranges on the track was destroyed, as the flames were so hot it was impossible to roll it away. The total loss is placed at $55,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery. It is attributed to tramps, to crossed wires, and to spontaneous combustion. If it was spontaneous combustion it probably started in a pile of walnuts that became overheated in drying. The Anaheim boys turned on the water just twenty minutes after the Fullerton department got to work and would have been on the ground sooner had it not been necessary to communicate with the mayor and get permission to go. The boys did splendid work in preventing the spread of the flames. SOLICIT YOUR PUBLIC ON TUBES AND PAIRS. Tube R PUNCTURES 25c, 1-35c, 4 TO 6 INCH 75c, 12 INCH AND CTRA CHARGE IN CO TO PATRONS.

The next important pledge was protection of the personal and property rights of American citizens at home and abroad, and the upholding of the honor and dignity of the nation—a pledge that has been so frequently violated as to make it hazardous for a man to claim American citizenship in our nearest sister republic. A "return to simplicity and economy," and "reduction in the number of public offices" came next in the democratic platform of 1912—a pledge that has been followed by increases in offices, multiplication of appropriations, and public extravagance combined with inefficiency in public service. The establishment of a merchant marine "without imposing additional burdens upon the people" was the next important pledge upon which the party made an issue in the last campaign. The only effort toward the fulfillment of that pledge has been an appropriation for government purchase of ships and the expenditure of an unknown sum of money, beginning with an appropriation of $50,000,000. That pledge was followed by one for the exemption from tolls of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the Panama Canal, a pledge that was not only ignored but expressly and openly violated at the earliest opportunity. Honest enforcement of the civil service law to the end that merit and ability shall be the standard of appointment came next in the platform. Instead of keeping that pledge, the democratic congress has at every opportunity passed laws which set aside the civil service rules and regulations, and the president has issued an un- precedented number of executive orders permitting deserving democrats to be placed in the classified civil service without their taking the competitive test to determine their merit or ability. Extension of the rural delivery service was another pledge. The character of extension this administration has made in the rural delivery service has been such as to bring protests from farmer's unions, from granges, and from local patrons of the rural mail service. Another plank of the democratic platform provided for the retention of the law granting exemption from tolls to coastwise ships plying through the Panama canal, and President Wilson in his campaign speeches upheld this doctrine. But, after his election as president, he forced a bill through congress repealing these exemptions and placing American coastwise ships sailing through the canal upon a parity with vessels of foreign. There were other minor promises in the democratic platform, which cut no figure in the last campaign. The foregoing enumeration of important promises that have been ruthlessly broken are sufficient to make it manifest that the platform of 1916 will contain no assurance that "our promises are made to be kept when in office as well as to be relied upon during the campaign." The Orange county school masters association met at the Anaheim high school auditorium Saturday evening and enjoyed a banquet prepared by the domestic science department of the high school. W. A. Parker of Pomona college, spoke on the question of peace, and the Temple Square quartet rendered some excellent vocal selections.

The Tampico charges may not be called new, in the sense of being the first made by Americans which have been forwarded to Washington. It may be significant, however, that they are the first to be given out by the Washington authorities for general distribution through the medium of the Associated Press. They differ from many other complaints forwarded to Washington only in kind. The Tampico charges are, in brief, that for a year or more the Carranza regime in Mexico has been issuing decrees preventing the exercise of rights guaranteed by treaty to Americans resident in that country. A striking part of the complaint forwarded to Washington is to be found in the expression of opinion that, "We believe that the authorities had not the remotest idea, when they began issuing such decrees, that they would be able to enforce them, but that when nothing was done by our government to secure their repeal these edicts have been made more stringent, until now our property is threatened with confiscation, and in some cases has been confiscated, and our personal liberty is menaced. All of the decrees violate Mexican law and are in contravention of the rights of Americans guaranteed by treaty between Mexico and the United States. Even more striking than this is the question asked by the 84 Americans signing the Tampico protest which has reached Washington: "We desire to know if the government will permit these decrees to remain in force where their lights of Americans are in- ANAHEIM CONCORDIA WILL SING AT LOS ANGELES Ladies From This City Will Also Assist in Picnic at Selig Zoo Park The Anaheim Concordia is making preparations to take part in a big picnic given by the Turnverein at Selig Zoo park, Los Angeles on Sunday, June 11. In addition to a feast of music there will be many good things to eat, and Anaheim people will also have a part in supplying this. If there be any truth in the old adage "that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," then the hearts of all who attend this German fest will be cheered and strengthened by the toothsomeness of the good old-fashioned German dishes. The delicately browned and tender wienerschnitzel, the succulent sauerkraut and the satisfying leberknoedel will appeal to all lovers of good things to eat. One of the main refreshment booths will be the Anaheim booth under the auspices of Anaheim lodge No. 39, O. D. H. S., managed by Mrs. H. M. W. Wilchers and Mrs. Theodore Roberts, assisted by members of the society. The entertainment program offers a great variety of attractions. The one sure to interest all will be offered by the singing section of the Turnverein Germania, which last year won for the second time the gold cup offered by Emperor Wilhelm, and by the Anaheim Concordia, which won the first prize in Class B at the great I SOLICIT YOUR PATRONAGE AND I HAND YOU MY REVISED PRICE LIST ON TUBES AND CASING REPAIRS.

Hobile. Gymnastic exercises and esthetic dances by the young men and women of the Turnverein Germania will furnish a most attractive part of the entertainment. A carnival of games and contests for men, women and children, with prizes for the winner, should prove most alluring, while the great collection of rare, wild, and trained animals at the Selig Zoological park will be a source of much interest and amusement for the kiddles. The affair is given for the benefit of the German-Austro-Hungarian relief society. The committee from Anaheim assisting in the work is composed of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Wickers, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Plepenbrink, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Krastel. INFERIOR TELEPHONE SERVICE When one is awakened from sound slumber, before six o'clock in the morning, and again at midnight, only to hear the words, "Wrong number," come sweetly over the line—that seems to be inferior telephone service; but when one's telephone rings time after time, only to be told, "party has hung up,"—that's exasperating. What's the matter with the old Sunset telephone company anyhow? MILK FOR POULTRY Milk is the most beneficial to hens when mixed in mashes, as then it can be served clean and counted as a meat product. Creamery skim milk is worth five cents a gallon to any poultryman. Whole milk is not worth so much because of its higher fat content. When milk is skimmed by hand methods care should be taken to take off all the cream. Buttermilk is not so good for poultry as good fresh creamy skim milk, the university advice to the contrary. Whey is too good to throw away, but is less value than buttermilk, and been confiscated, and our personal liberty is menaced. All of the decrees violate Mexican law and are in contravention of the rights of Americans guaranteed by treaty between Mexico and the United States. Even more striking than this is the question asked by the 84 Americans signing the Tampico protest which has reached Washington: "We desire to know if the government will permit these decrees to remain in force where therights of Americans are involved. An understanding as to the future should not be sufficient. The decrees already in existence should be repealed." Such a strong statement should strengthen any resolve made to stay in, now that we are in, until some semblance of responsible government in Mexico is restored. The U.S. Secret Service has recently taken possession of a million rounds of ammunition on its way into Mexico. Please note the word recently. This watchful waiting policy extending over a period, of more than three years permitted unknown quantities of ammunition to go into Mexico for use against the peace and stability of government in that country and against the safety of Americans both north and south of the boundary. And we are asked to vote approval of the watchful waiting policy. In his Press club speech Mr. Wilson taxed the newspaper boys with reporting things of which he never heard until he read the newspapers. It was not so very long ago that the President publicly announced he never read the newspapers, but he has doubtless changed his mind.

Daniels, Prop. 134 South Los Angeles St. Sunset 259 Buttermilk is not so good for poultry as good fresh creamery skim milk, the university advice to the contrary. Whey is too good to throw away, but is less value than buttermilk, and when used should be neutralized by adding lime water to it in proportion of one quart to five. Curd is perhaps the best form of milk that can be served to all young stock, including turkey poults, but it should be mixed with other foods as it is very high in protein and nearly all albuminoids. It is very easy to digest and chicks will eat a lot of it. Being so rich, of course it should be fed in proper quantities. Nearly all forms of milk are better for a little sourness, but that does not mean that you can feed decomposed milk to young stock or old without injury. Camp 16702 of the M. W.

The rural credits bill is taking final shape and seems likely to become a law within a very short time. The experiment will be watched with great interest, but so far as can be judged at this time, it does not seem likely that the law will secure prompt and easy access by owners of land to the lending power created. The individual farmer, desiring money to buy or improve his land, can only approach the throne through the medium of a local association, whose stock he must buy and for whose debts he must become, in some measure, liable, in addition to the liability for his own debt. It is regrettable that the rural credits banks are not permitted to take mortgages direct from state banks, in much the same way that the Federal reserve banks now discount paper from their members. What is needed in rural credits is not new supplies of credit and new reservoirs of credit, but an effective method of reaching existing reservoirs.
