TARIFF QUESTION PARAMOUNT ISSUE MAINE CAMJAIGN WAS FOUGHT ALMOST ENTIRELY ON DOC-TRINE OF PROTECTION ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIDE TRACK THIS VITAL QUESTION Since sufficient time has elapsed to permit careful analysis of the campaign in the state of Maine, several conclusions are irresistible. First, that national rather than local issues were deemed most important by the voters. Campaign speakers in both parties found they could arouse most interest and evoke most enthusiasm by discussing national affairs, and local questions were dropped early in the canvass. Second, that voters in Maine considered the tariff the paramount issue. Republican speakers and newspapers took pains to present the facts regarding increased importations of Canadian products that come into competition with Maine products, under the democratic tariff law, and there was everywhere a manifestation of resentment against the law which placed the Canadian producer first. Toward the end of the campaign the law enacted by congress raising the wages of part of the railway employees became a more prominent feature in the discussion, but it is evident, nevertheless, that the tariff question influenced streams, in buried channels and in bench gravels, but most of the gold has been won from the deep channels on Livinggood creek, which have proved to be far richer than either the stream or the bench placers. Some shallow placers have also yielded gold, notably on Olive Creek, but only prospects have been found in the benches. The annual statement on the production of gold, silver and copper in Alaska in 1915 is now available for distribution by the United States geological survey. The value of the total mineral output of Alaska during the year is stated as $32,854,229, as compared with $19,065,666 for 1914. FORMER ANAHEIM BOY BECOMES A BENEDICT Leland Miller United in Marriage to One of Berkeley's Fair Daughters The Mother Lode Magnet, published at Jamestown, Cal., prints the following account of the marriage of Leand Miller, a former Anaheim boy, who will be remembered and congratulated by numerous friends here: "In Berkeley, Cal., September 16, 1916, Leland Adrian Miller of Jamestown and Miss Bessie Boyd of Berkeley were united in marriage by Rev. William Wheeler, former pastor of the Sonora and Tuolume Episcopal churches. The groom is the son and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Miller, esteemed citizens of Jamestown. He was born in Anaheim, but was reared in Jamestown, where he attended the public schools of the county. After finishing at the Tuolume county high school, the young man entered the University of California and graduated as civil engineer and teacher with high honors, class of 1915. Shortly after graduating he was selected as one of the teachers of the Montezuma school for boys at Los Gatos. The past few weeks he BurGLARS STILI IN Two Stores and Buena Park Burglars are still in Orange county with their loot.

Attend from several different the Cash Store, Third that members of the former progressive party are practically all back in the republican fold. It was largely upon the tariff issue that the progressives came back. There has never been any difference between members of the republican party on the principle of protection. There was a difference as to the amount of protection needed, but it was a difference regarding details, and not regarding the fundamental principle of a tariff for protection. Upon other issues there were also differences, but it is evident that the progressives deemed these of minor importance. Fourth, that the voters of Maine were not influenced by the false plea that "he kept us out of war." This mainstay of the democratic campaign has been shattered. It has been perfectly plain to all students of international affairs that when such contiguous countries as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Spain remained out of the contest, it would be preposterous to assume that the United States would have any difficulty in staying out. Only the grossest kind of blundering could have involved this country. The democratic leaders thought however, that they could make the voters believe that by the exercise of rare diplomatic skill the president had "kept us out of war." The voters of Maine did not fall for a confidence game so crude as that, and there is no prospect that the plea will be made to work elsewhere. Fifth that the voters of Maine were not mislead by the claim everything tactics of the democratic party campaigners. From President Wilson down, the democratic leaders have been parading a long line of pretended accomplishments and have been ignoring the still longer line of broken promises. It was their expectation that by thus making assertions they could gain credit for supposed accidental products that come into competition with Maine products, under the democratic tariff law, and there was everywhere a manifestation of resentment against the law which placed the Canadian producer first. Toward the end of the campaign the law enacted by congress raising the wages of part of the railway employees became a more prominent features in the discussion, but it is evident, nevertheless, that the tariff question influenced more votes and that the people of Maine favor an economic policy that places America first. The bride is a charming young lady of Berkeley, who has chosen music as her vocation in life, and is a graduate of the King Conservatory of Music at San Jose. She has a large circle of friends in her home town, who love and esteem her for her genuine worth, and her many accomplishments will make her an ideal companion for the chosen partner of life. Scores of friends in Jamestown will extend best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Miller, and the Magnet joins in the wish for a long and happy wedded life." OTHER CAUSES THAN THE WAR Valuable as the war is as an off hand explanation of all phenomena in nature and business, it does not account for the soaring prices of provisions at this time. It is one of the several causes of the higher prices of meats, but government reports prove that there has been a market decrease in exports of nearly all other edibles. There were 10,569,000 fewer bushels of corn exported during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, than during the preceding year. The exports of wheat for the same period shrank over 86,000,000 bushels. Exports of flour dropped 640,000 barrels. Expressed in dollars and cents, the total value of exports of breadstuffs for 1916 was only $435,696,629, as against $573,823,676 for the preceding year. The general tendency in June showed a pronounced decline in exports of this character. There were nearly though it is supposed come visitor got in after midnight.

From President Wilson down, the democratic leaders have been parading a long line of pretended accomplishments and have been ignoring the still longer line of broken promises. It was their expectation that by thus making assertions they could gain credit for supposed accomplishments, and divert attention from their disregard of platform pledges in the past. It did not work. It is evident that the voters know that it was the Aldrich-Vreeland act that saved us from a panic at the time of the outbreak of the war and that the Federal reserve act, admittedly unsound in the form in which the administration offered it, was given its meritorious features by republicans. It is manifest that the voters of Maine recognize the republican party as the constructive party of the United States, and prefer to trust it with legislative and executive power, rather than continue in office the party that makes promises only to break them and makes claims which have no basis in fact. MINING IN TOLOVANA, ALASKA During 1914 and 1915 hundreds of people attracted by the reported finding of gold in the headwater region of Tolovana river in central Alaska rushed into the district, and systematic mining began there during the summer of 1915. Although considerable prospecting was done only about 10 mines were commercially productive, but these made a gold output to the value of $80,000. Gold bearing gravels occur in the beds of the present exports of wheat for the same period shrank over 86,000,000 bushels. Exports of flour dropped 640,000 barrels. Expressed in dollars and cents, the total value of exports of breadstuffs for 1916 was only $435,696,629, as against $573,823,676 for the preceding year. The general tendency in June showed a pronounced decline in exports of this character. There were nearly 500,000 dozen fewer eggs exported than in June, 1915, over $1,000,000 worth less fish, 700,000 fewer pounds of butter, and over 12,000,000 fewer pounds of cheese. The only marked increases were in exports of fruits and condensed milk. The quantity of condensed milk jumped from 2,329,446 pounds to 25,983,334 pounds for the month. The exports of fruits increased from $1,275,854 in value to $1,800,-426. There was an increase in the exports of beans and peas, but the entire quantity was insignificant. The same is true of potatoes, the total exports for June being only 250,657 bushels. The relatively higher prices are not due to the war. They cannot be due to the tariff, as our democratic friends insisted the prices of 1912 were. They are probably due to a combination of causes, not the least being the season, which has been so unfavorable in numerous large spots. Many people practice numerous economies, but somehow their bank accounts are a sorry succession of goose eggs. Why economise if you do not deposit something in a bank? The Anaheim National Bank welcomes small accounts. Ernest Heying was taking in the sights at Seal Beach Sunday. ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1916 BURGLARS STILL ACTIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY Two Stores and Blacksmith Shop at Buena Park Entered Burglaries are still plying their trade in Orange county and getting away with their loot. Buena Park was visited again Friday night, two stores and a blacksmith shop being raided, $11.80 in cash and $80 in jewelry and a bicycle being taken. In addition to the blacksmith shop the George H. Warren Grocery and the A. Osborn pool hall were entered. The cash was secured from the cash register and safe in the former, while the punch boar darticles and bicycle were secured in the latter. An effort was also made to enter the Cash Store owned by Joe Keith, but this failed. The articles secured from the punch board consisted of opera glasses cheap jewelry and watches and other trinkets. At the Warren store where the money was secured the cash register and safe were left unlocked in order that any one entering the place for burglary would not have to wreck either the register or safe to secure their loot. The cash consisted of small change, being mostly five cent pieces and dimes. No one could be found who had heard the burglars during their visit to town and the hour at which the places were entered is a mystery although it is supposed the unwelcome visitor got in his work some time after midnight. The fact that the burglaries had been committed was not discovered until the owners of the places arrived in the morning to open for the day. A heavy wood chisel was used in forcing entrance to the two places. In both instances the front doors were pried open. Attempts were made from several different angles to enter the Cash Store, and it is supposed The $15 Suits and Overcoats That the Jackson Store sells everyone says, are the best on earth for the price To see them is to buy them.

UNSCIENTIFIC DISTRIBUTION CAUSE OF HEAVY LOSS Col Harris Weinstock Explains His Plans for State Marketing Bureau Col. Harris Weinstock, state marketing director, who is endeavoring to have all citrus fruits grown in California turned over to a state board for shipments to the eastern markets, explains his plans and reasons as follows: "On investigation I have found that the great loss to the growers has been from an unscientific distribution of the fruit," said Mr. Weinstock. "This has resulted in frequent glutting of the market, resulting in a loss of $20,000 in one day in some of the auction markets. The loss is borne by the growers." "My plan is substantially the same as that used by the cantaloupe growers of the Imperial Valley with such great success," he continued. "There it was found that poor distribution was causing the growers to lose money each year, and an appeal was made to the government. A man was sent out and he organizel a bureau or clearing house for information. Each grower or shipper told the day before how many cars he would ship the next day and where he proposed to send them. These were all placed on a large blackboard and immediately any glutting of the market showed up. It was easy then to change the shipments, and thus every market secured each day the fruit it could use at a good price and no more." Mr. Weinstock says that all of the independent shippers have agreed to total for these three nations was 205 billions, or 20 billion below the figure for the United States. Since the publication of those statistics the wealth of the three European nations has decreased by reason of the war, while the United States had added 40 billionts to its former stupendous figure. DO YOU Maintain a polluted well and then complain about the undertaker's bill? Think screening is too expensive and then blame your malaria on the climate? Insist on sanitary cigar factories and then use a public cigar cutter? Carry a fine handkerchief and then forget to cover your mouth when you cough? WE MUST HAVE PROTECTION The public attention may be held for a time by this issue or that issue, but the one issue that can never be put into the background is the tariff. The factitious prosperity of the present should deceive no one. The European war, which is the sole cause of that prosperity, is approaching its end. When it is concluded the abnormal demand for American products will cease, not instantly but rapidly. The nations engaged in the great conflict will at once begin to concentrate all their powers upon rehabilitation. They will endeavor to the utmost to supply their own needs, to restore their commerce, and to pay the enormous indebtedness they have incurred. To this end, or these ends, they will buy as little as possible and sell as much as they can. It is supreme folly to imagine that they will or can do anything else. The notion that their necessities will compel them to continue to buy prodigiously from us is founded upon a vain hope. Such necessities, if they exist, will be but temporary. They would not go on pouring out money to use if they could, and they could not if they would. On the contrary, their policy will be one of rigid economy within and of pushing sales to the utmost without. The capture of the greatest cash market in the world will be their special aim. Nowhere else than here can the gold they will so badly need be ac- THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK Industrial strife and warfare in San Francisco was so common that the public had really become hardened to it and the killing of workmen in strife disturbances hardly created comment. This condition has been going on for years and San Francisco has earned the reputation of being the most radical labor town in the United States. Conditions became so bad there this summer that employers, shipper and manufacturers generally began to take a stand for their rights, and as a result a bitter union labor fight ensued. A number were killed and injured. Then began the bomb incidents. First a bomb was placed in the end of a Southern Pacific car on the Oakland mole. It injured a score of people and torre end of the car up. Second, several transmission line towers bringing power to the United Railways were dynamited in order to interrupt service and help toward the strike that outside agitators were try- Mr. Weinstock says that all of the independent shippers have agreed to the plan, but that the California Fruit Exchange has refused to do so. "I have a great respect for the exchange, and the place where we differ is on the point of distribution. They think that the citrus fruits are now well distributed, and I do not. There are two other causes for gluts that cannot be controlled—one is the weather and the other is heavy imports of citrus fruits," said Mr. Weinstock. He told of some of the objections to the plan and met them with arguments to disprove them. WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES At a recent dinner in New York Charles Hamlin, member and former governor of the federal reserve board, made the statement that the wealth of the United States had increased during the last two years $40,000,000,000. Bank deposits have increased between $6,000,000,000 and $7,000,000,000 and stock of gold has increased more than $700,000,000. Since the first of the year the importations of gold have amounted to $60,000,000. Two years ago the total wealth of the United States was 225 billion dollars. The next wealthiest nation in the world was Great Britain, its total being 85 billion, Germany was worth 70 billions and France 50 billions. The grower or shipper told the day before how many cars he would ship the next day and where he proposed to send them. These were all placed on a large blackboard and immediately any glutting of the market showed up. It was easy then to change the shipments, and thus every market secured each day the fruit it could use at a good price and no more." On the contrary, their policy will be one of rigid economy within and of pushing sales to the utmost without. The capture of the greatest cash market in the world will be their special aim. Nowhere else than here can the gold they will so badly need be acquired with facility. That the United States will be the dumping ground for the surplus products of all the fighting nations cannot be reasonably questioned. The election of Woodrow Wilson would mean four more years with the bars down, four more years with the gates open for the entry of European cheap labor products in competition with ours. Who can imagine a continuation of prosperity under such conditions? Gold would pour out of this country in a continuous stream. Factories throughout the land would close down, unable to compete with the foreign manufacturers. Labor would be thrown out of employment; prices of farm products would go down to unprofitable figures, and business of all kinds would suffer to the extreme. The only possible preventive of such a calamitous consumption is a tariff that will protect us from the flood of Europe, and the only way to establish such protection is by the restoration of a republican government which makes protection its fundamental principle.

The Anaheim National bank. Then began the bomb incidents. First a bomb was placed in the end of a Southern Pacific car on the Oakland mole. It injured a score of people and tore the end of the car up. Second, several transmission line towers bringing power to the United Railways were dynamited in order to interrupt service and help toward the strike that outside agitators were trying to create. Third, the terrible bomb tragedy on Market street which resulted in the death of eight people and the maiming of scores of others. This last act was the straw that broke the camel's back and the San Francisco people rose up in arms and through their Chamber of Commerce determined to wipe out conditions which tend to encourage such acts of violence. Thousands of dollars have been raised for rewards and thousands more have been donated for the families left destitute and people crippled as the result of the bomb outrage. It would be preposterous to say or think that these acts were done or authorized by orgainzed labor. The men themselves stand as a solid body against deeds of violence. eYt the strikes, lockouts, closed shops, etc., which have resulted from San Francisco's labor troubles have developed a class of floating, irresponsible and radical fanatics who figured there was no way to get their demands granted but to terrorize the community. As a result, the open shop war is on in San Francisco. Employers say they have no fight against labor unions, but that hereafter they will reserve the great American privilege of H. A.

It is a situation worthy of the closest attention of other communities for it has passed the stage of merely a local affair and has assumed aspects of state wide interest. Lawlessness and disorder must be stamped out and every citizen, be he rich or poor, must be made to realize that the rights of the individual and the public and the laws' of our land are paramount to any organization of either labor or capital. JUMBO TOMATOES Growing tomatoes that weigh 44 ounces and that measure 25½ inches in circumference, 8 inches in diameter and 4¼ inches thick is an everyday performance for M. C. Sutton, owner of the Van Nuys Pharmacy. This large variety is known as the Van Nuys Strain of the Ponderosa and was propagated by Mr. Sutton. It is positively stated by him that he and his father-in-law last year planted an eightieth of an acre, two rods square, to this variety and that from this plot they picked and sold $50 worth, canned 57 quarts, used all they wanted for the table and at the end of the season picked eight bushels of the best and largest green ones, wrapped them in paper and were eating ripe tomatoes at Christmas time.

AUSTRALIAN EMBARGO ON OUR CITRUS FRUITS OFF The embargo which Australia placed upon American citrus fruits last February has been removed for California and Arizona, according to word received from Director of Quarantine Compston of Melbourne, N. S. W., at the state horticultural commissioner's office at Sacramento. The only restriction is that the quantity of the shipment must be known and the fruit must be free from all citrus canker and disease. This ruling is of vast importance to Californi growers. DANGER FROM TYPHUS A general warning to physicians throughout the state advising them to be on the lookout for cases of typhus fever was issued Saturday night by Dr. J. C. Geiger, assistant director of the division of communicable diseases of the state board of health on his return from a tour of investigation in the Southwest. According to Dr. Geiger, about 20 cases of typhus have appeared in California, all brought here by Mexican laborers. Among the cities he named in which the typhus had appeared were: Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Hanford, Madera, Rosamond and Harold. He said that physicians had been advised of the symptoms and warned to be on the alert. He said also that the railroad companies had been asked to cooperate in the effort to keep the disease out of California.
