OUR FOREIGN TRADE How the allies' blockade has gradually shut off supplies from Germany and Austria-Hungary until the point has been reached at which these two countries receive absolutely nothing from the United States, is determined in figures published by the department of commerce. In August, 1915, despite the war, we sent $38,743 worth of goods to Germany. This August, according to the official figures we sent nothing. In the first eight months of 1915 we sent $11,688,510 in merchandise, etc., to Germany. This year in the same period we sent just $1,008,233. The bulk of these supplies, however, were sent early in the year, before the blockade reached its limit of intensity. To Austria we sent in August, 1915 $6698. This August we sent nothing. Our exports to the dual monarchy for January to August, 1916, however, exceeded those of the same time last year. The figures are respectively: 1916—$68,385; 1915—$43,334. In the same period we were shipping millions to the allies. Our exports to the United Kingdom leaped from $93,190,955 in August, 1915, to $159,437,554 in August, 1916. Exports for January to August, 1915, to the United Kingdom were $753,470,395. This year they were $1,207,750,939. Russia took an enormous advance in our goods. In August, 1915, we sent to Russia (European Post Office) all necessary government to murder, robbery and rape. For instance, there is the case of the teacher who was held as a member of Villa's harem for many weeks, Villa being the champion of human liberty Senator Lewis says this government at one time intended to recognize, and who was at the time fighting with ammunition furnished him through the consideration of the Wilson administration. This woman tells the story in a recently published magazine article of how many girls were whipped and beaten to death because they resisted entrance into the horrors of the household maintained by the "people's friend" who enjoyed the friendship of the present national administration for so many months, and in whose behalf American sailors died at Vera Cruz in President Wilson's demonstration against Huerta, the undesirable citizen to whom Villa, the cattle thief, murder and rapist was preferred by the administration's tender conscience. WON'T MORTIFY HIM President Wilson has allowed himself to be trapped into a most un dignified position through his sharp answer to the wily Irishman who heads the American Truth Society. To a telegram of censure on his British policies, sent by one O'Leary—a sufficiently impertinent telegram—the President replied that he would feel deeply mortified to have such a disloyal person vote for him and to please convey the information to his disloyal friends. Now it is probably that O'Leary could not have written a reply more suitable to his purpose than the one the president sent. The inference which can justly be drawn is that the president considers disloyal all who disagree with his policies toward England and would feel mortified should they vote for him.

In August, 1915, we sent to Russia (European and Asiatic) $12,485,431, and in August, 1916, we sent $61,553,560. January to August, 1915, exports to Russia were $81,292,833. This year in the same time we sent $300,362,626. Exports to Italy and Japan doubled from one August to the other, increased one and a half times for France and quadrupled to Belgium. Imports were also much affected. In August, 1915, Germany exported to us $725,244; August, 1916, she sent just $82,579. In the first eight months last year she sent $36,819,943, this year but $4,896,031. Austria-Hungary's August, 1915, exportation to the United States was $113,061. This year it was $18,818. Her January to August, 1915, export was $4,540,-168. This year it was only $515,026. The allies' imports increased largely. The figures for August last and for August this year for the allies were roughly: United Kingdom, $24,500,000 and $18,500,000; France, $10,000,000 and $7,500,000; Japan, $19,900,000 and $10,-000,000; Italy, $3,000,000 and $2,000,-000; Russia, $1,000,000 and $400,000. ANOTHER MEXICAN INCONSISTENCY The members of the Carranza-Wilson commission seem to be deliberating not upon the international problems which alone could give it legal and rational cause for being, but upon the domestic politics of Mexico. We have again and again been assured that it was our bounden duty to let the Mexicans work out their own salvation, even at incidental sacrifice of American life and property, but now we have a commission that is deliberating upon Mexican domestic problems of taxation, finance and rehabilitation. This doesn't seem to fit in very well with the theory of letting the Dons do it, but it has long been understood that this administration has one set of theories to tell about and write on feel deeply mortified to have such a disloyal person vote for him and to please convey the information to his disloyal friends. Now it is probably that O'Leary could not have written a reply more suitable to his purpose than the one the president sent. The inference which can justly be drawn is that the president considers disloyal all who disagree with his policies toward England and would feel mortified should they vote for him. eW do not think that the president meant anything of the kind. He was merely angry with the impertinence of the attack and in a moment of foolish irritation, made a public statement that will probably bring down upon him the hostility of Irish and German sympathizers throughout the country. It is certain that a large per cent of the voters of these two classes in the country disagree with the president in regard to his British policies and, in view of his statement, will hesitate to cause him any deep mortification when it can easily be avoided by voting against him. When President Wilson wrote to John Lind that if he couldn't force Huerta out by promoting the Carranza-Villa revolution he "would resort to other means," just what means had he in mind? Can it be that this holy conservator of the peace intended to put the American army on the job? Yet what other means were left him had his furtherance of domestic sedition in Mexico failed him?

This doesn't seem to fit in very well with the theory of letting the Dons do it, but it has long been understood that this administration has one set of theories to talk about and quite another set to work on. The latest suggestion from the conferees is that Mexico shall be invaded by an army, not with guns, but with plows and school books in its hands. American farmers are to teach the peons how to plow and reap, and American school teachers are to instruct the Mexican idea how to shoot, although knowing how to shoot seems to be a natural attribute of the Mexican mind, especially when the target is gringo or a government soldier. This is probably the most beautiful international idea that has developed since the days of the Children's Crusade, when tens of thousand of boys and girls started forth to accomplish that conquest of the Holy Land the mailed warriors had failed to achieve. That was a perfectly lovely idea, but the children who thus set forth never came home. They were drowned at sea, massacred, or carried into slavery. Yet it was a perfectly lovely idea. So is this idea of sending American farmers and school ma'ms into Mexico to be welcomed, as Tom Corwin put it, "with bloody hands to hospitable graves." They have before them, both as incentive and encouragement, the experience of hundreds of American men and women, engaged in a similar work, abandoned by their C. J. "RHEINBERGER, WH. RHEINBERGER. RE-UNITED PARTY That the republican factions of Orange county have been completely re-united and are working in earnest and sincere accord in behalf of the election of the entire republican ticket was further evidenced at the meeting gof the Orange County Republican County Centrall Committee and auxiliary precinct committeemen at republican headquarters Saturday afternoon. Thorough and effective work in behalf of the ticket was arranged for. Reports of committeemen by precinct will be made at a meeting to be held next Saturday at headquarters. There was a large attendance of representatives of both factions of the party and the utmost harmony prevailed, evidencing the fact that there is a real union of republicans in this county. Predictions of a sweeping victory in the county were made by different workers who expressed themselves. Plans were made for getting the full republican vote out on election day by the appointment of precinct workers and on arranging for an advance poll. R. C. Harbison, Republican nominee for Congress from the Eleventh district, will be in Orange county all of next week, and an itinerary which will cover the entire county was arranged.

Indications point in that direction. A Salt Lake surveying crew is reported to have been running surveys along Batavia street, north and west of Orange for the past few days. Some time ago a rumor was current that the Salt Lake was negotiating for a considerable piece of property in Orange. The plan, as originally announced, was that the Salt Lake would use the Southern Pacific line from Anaheim to Santa Ana, and thus pass west of Orange. However, the fact that surveyors are working above Orange indicates that the new road has not finally determined to pass that city up in its plans. Suit for Damages:— Suit for $25,375 damages was brought against the Pacific Electric Saturday by Mrs. Fannie M. Coultas, widow of Rev. George W. Coultas, who was pastor of the Methodist church at Whittier, when on July 9 he was killed. The accident that brought death to the minister occurred on South Main street, Santa Ana. An automobile in which Rev. Coultas, his wife and her sister were riding, was struck by a Pacific Electric passenger car. The complaint alleges that the electric car was going at an excessive speed and was driven carelessly. Orange Hours in War:— There are no Orange men in the European war zone, but undoubtedly some Orange horses are straining at heavy guns of French and British batteries today. suddenly she was confronted by a man that Miss Carriker says wore a black mask, and who is described by her as being tall and slim. Without a word the man seized her by the wrists. Terribly frightened and given the strength of desperation, she struggled with the man, and managed to break his hold. She turned and ran. Blindly, frantically, she fled. Fearing that the man was still after her, she ran for four blocks to the Palmyra Hotel before she even dared think of stopping. Exhausted, she stumbled into the entrance of the building and there she falted. A physician was called, and it was some time before she was revived. In the meantime her parents had become alarmed over her failure to return from her errand, and they had started a search for her when a telephone message was received from the Palmyre, telling them that their daughter was there. She had revived and had given her address. Packing Plant at Stanton:— A vegetable packing plant is being erected at Stanton and it is expected to be ready for business within a week. The owner of the house is W. E. McCaslin, a prominent vegetable shipper of Los Angeles, who will pack Orange county grown vegetables of all kinds, including tomatoes, cauliflower and cabbage for shipment East. Some of these products have been shipped from the Stanton section to Anaheim, Santa Ana or Fullerton for packing, but the new house will develop and encourage the planting of much additional acreage to vegetables near Stanton, besides making unnecessary the long haul to other packing houses. The new building will be 36 by 60 feet, and of frame construction, the building materials for which were ordered from the Stanton City Lumber Company, of which F. D. Turner is manager.

Coultas, his wife and her sister were riding, was struck by a Pacific Electric passenger car. The complaint alleges that the electric car was going at an excessive speed and was driven carelessly. Orange Hours in War:— There are no Orange men in the European war zone, but undoubtedly some Orange horses are straining at heavy guns of French and British batteries today. According to E. G. Stinson, Orange contractor and tractor dealer, over 200 horses have been sold to the French artillery from this vicinity in the past eight months. "I have sold a great many myself," said Mr. Stinson, "and undoubtedly, the Santa Ana buyers are stripping many in this section. "The French buyers are stripping the country of horses. The other day I saw 900 in one bunch ready for shipment. They are bought by the Los Angeles dealers and. inspected by French officers." Killed by School Truck:— Ground beneath the wheels of a heavy truck, Fred W. Gilmore of Richfield was fatally injured early Friday morning. He died on the way to the hospital. The accident happened east of Placentia and almost in full view of 30 student passengers who were on their way to the high school at Fullerton. The truck was owned by the high school district and was driven by Frank Velasco. Gilmore, who was 28 years old and unmarried, was riding a bicycle, and, according to the students' version of the accident tried to pass the bus on the right side. As he reached the rear end of the machine the truck driver, unaware of the approach of the cyclist from the rear, swung to the right of the road. Gilmore was hurled from his bicycle, and the 7500-pound truck passed over him, inflicting internal injuries and mangling his leg terribly.

The building is located adjoining the Pacific Electric switch, and all shipments will be made over this line as far as Los Angeles. Got Second Money:— The drill team of Santa Ana Canton, No. 18, was a close second for honors in Class B. (18 men) in the competitive drill held Wednesday at the Grand Encampment, I. O. O. F., and was awarded second prize at the grand ball when announcement of the drill score was made. Santa Ana's score was 92. Santa Rosa Canton was first in this class with a score of 93 points, and Los Angeles was third with a score of 90½. There were three entries in this class. Sacramento Canton was the only entry in Class A (24 men teams) and was awarded first prize with a score of 96 points. Fresno Canton was the only entry in Class C and won first prize with a score of 89. Bumped by Locomotive:— Seven Santa Ana people are congratulating themselves on being alive, for they had a narrow escape from death when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by a switch engine at Seventh street and Santa Fe avenue, Los Angeles, Sunday. Although the automobile was pushed about 80 feet by the engine before it was stopped, the automobile did not overturn, and to this alone is due the fact that all are alive today. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. E. L. eDacon and son, Clark, Mrs. A. B. Watson, Miss Irene Shute, Miss Sylvan Schugold and Rudolph W. Dargel, and Mr. Deacon, one of the proprietors of the Crown Stage line, was at the wheel. All occupants of the car were more or less injured, receiving bruises and cuts from broken glass. Mrs. Deacon is perhaps the most seriously injured. After the accident, all were taken to the Receiving Hospital, and then to the home of friends, who brought them Advertisement CALIFORNIA DRY A great statesman gave us the expression "Where are we at?" On referring to our former article we were "at" the final clapboard of our Great American KNOW NOTHING party platform. We find a coincidence between the time of the origin of theKnow Nothings and the present. The states of the South seceded, and had to be reconstructed before being allowed their former places in Congress. Now WE, "Me" and George, High Mucky Muck propose that some nineteen states shall be reconstructed backwards. Our only point of difference is that of what is and what will be. This we will settle between us before we take the stump and to make our campaign. Two things are necessary for a whirlwind campaign—money and brains, and like the fellow who said if his intended would furnish the bread he would skirmish around and find the water and they would get married; so I am willing to furnish what little brains are necessary if my running mate will supply the Spon-du-licks. We must remember that another George made a fool of himself by trying to collect revenue, not on Booze, but "Tea," and about the most important part of the legislation in the District of Columbia has been to REGULATE the Booze traffic revenue. That we may be posted on the Boooze legislation in the home of that other "George" who "couldn't" tell a lie we will, through kindness, to our ticketmate relate some history. In 1886 there were 1384 licensed Booze establishment in that six miles square—District of Columbia. There were no restrictions. Hotels, saloons, clubs and groceries sold when and to whom they pleased and Sunday was the biggest day of them all, a-la-Anaheim. The license was $100 and easy to get. In 1893 a new law was enacted, approved by the liquor men and signed by President Benjamin Harrison, REGULATING the traffic by raising the license to $400 for retailers and $100 for wholesalers. Then they reg Contract to be Let:— Pending an investigation of the proposed right of way for the coast highway connecting Seal Beach and Huntington Beach by Chairman Talbert of the Board of Supervisors, the contract for the construction of the road was postponed at Wednesday's meeting of the board until October 17th. There is some dispute over the right of way through the grounds of the Bolsa-Chica Gun club and it was thought best to straighten this out before work on the highway was started. The two lowest bidders for the job were James S. Hillend, who bid $18,890 and Brasher-Burns whose bid was $16,728. Other bidders were the C. L. Hyde Construction company, $21,860; M. D. Goodbody, $23,488.05; Bressler & Kells, $22,241, and ogers Bros. Company, $23,365. The contract for the Myford road near Irvine was let to Max L. Huberman on his blide of $2,994.35. Other bidders were Bressler & Well, $3,754.55, and M. T. Shafer, $3,305.85. Man in Mask Attacks Girl:— Wednesday night soon after dark, Miss Nellie Carriker of Orange was attacked by a masked man. Struggling frantically, she broke loose from her assailant, and escaped. Miss Carriker, a milliner, lives with her parents on Washington street. Facing the street back of her home is the residence of her grandfather. Miss Carriker left her home Wednesday evening by the back door, intending to walk through her own back yard to her grandfather's house. She had gone but a few yards when Watson, Miss Irene Shute, Miss Sylvan Schugold and Rudolph W. Dargel, and Mr. Deacon, one of the proprietors of the Crown Stage line, was at the wheel. All occupants of the car were more or less injured, receiving bruises and cuts from broken glass. Mrs. Deacon is perhaps the most seriously injured. After the accident, all were taken to the Receiving Hospital, and then to the home of friends, who brought them back to Santa Ana. Bad Check Artist: C. C. Forbes, accused of passing several bad checks at Westminster and for whom two warrants are out has been arrested in Los Angeles. Forbes gave two checks to O. J. Day of Westminster, one of them being for $48. Monday morning the sheriff's office in Los Angeles notified the shoriff's office in Santa Ana that Forbes had been arrested. Deputy Sheriff Fowler started at once for Los Angeles to get Forbes. Later a telephones message was received stating that it was probable that Los Angeles authorities would prosecute Forbes in that city. CARD OF THANKS I desire to thank A. B. Markle for valuable publicity (taxation of all private property) given me in his ad in Gazette page 4, column 2, of Oct. 5. I hope he will be regenerated from the talit of Political Prohibition, retaining his virtue of Personal Prohibition, and vote NO on Amendments 1 and 2, proposed political cancers on state constitution. By voting thus, Mr. Markle will be a factor in making the majority votes against Political Prohibition on Nov. 7, total 237,144. GEORGE BAUER. American Party (Anti-Prohibition) candidate for President of the Republic. will, through kindness, to our ticketmate relate some history. In 1886 there were 1384 licensed Booze establishment in that six miles square—District of Columbia. There no restrictions. Hotels, saloons, clubs and groceries sold when and to whom they pleased and Sunday was the biggest day of them all, a-la-Anaheim. The license was $100 and easy to get. In 1893 a new law was enacted, approved by the liquor men and signed by President Benjamin Harrison. REGULATING the traffic by raising the license to $400 for retailers and $100 for wholesalers. Then they regulated it some more and raised the license to $800 for retailers and $300 for wholesalers. This reduced the number of places to 1100, one to about each 200 of the population. There were two saloons in the capital building under permission of Congress, and paid no license. They were especially for the convenience of the members of both Houses. At another time later the Vice President of the United States owned one of the leading hotels with bar attached. In 1906, Mr. Webber of Ohio introduced a bill for prohibition; but the bill died in the House Committee of the District. That Committee has been a "Cemetery" for temperance bills. A Booze Congress would appoint a Booze Committee and it was about as easy for Dives to get out of H—or reach to Lazarus as for a prohibition bill to pass that Committee. In 1908 Senator Galliger introduced a bill in the Senate which with some amendments was finally passed in 1913; five years on the way. This bill is known as the Jones-Works bill for Jones of Washington and Works of California. In 1912, when this bill came up the liquor interests made a strenuous effort to defeat it. It was not a prohibition bill, but a regulator. The number of saloons were restricted to 300 and the license raised to $1500. No saloons should exist within 1000 ft. of the Navy yard or Marine barracks. No saloon could remain within 400 feet of any church building, or school house. No saloon could remain in any residential section of the city.

REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C. Advertisement DRY VOTERS TAKE NOTICE Mr. Harbison, the Republican candidate for Congress, announces that his campaign fight is not to be waged against Mr. Kettner, the Democrat, who voted in Congress against the only dry measure that came up, but that the big guns are to be directed against Mr. Edwards, who was nominated by the Prohibitionists and endorsed by the Progressives, and who was in the field five weeks before Mr. Harbison was nominated. HOW DRY is Mr. Harbison, Mr. Dry Voter, when he suavely announces his intention of working solely to split the dry vote? When, in nine cases out of ten, his newspaper, the San Bernardino Sun, supported wet men, tried to defeat dry men, advocated the election of men who would nullify dry laws? When he supported Kettner, a Democrat, for Congress, and knifed the dry candidate of his own party, S. C. Evans?

The session closed. At the next session another effort was made but no results. Congress would adjourn March 4th and whiskey had seemingly won. Then it was made a "rider" to the District appropriation bill and became a preferential bill before the House, and was passed July 1st, 1913. Whiskey dies hard; the bill provided for an Excise board of three members to be appointed by the President. Those appointed by Wilson were all favorable to the saloon. Joseph Sheely, a Catholic, resigned to become the advocate for the saloon keepers before the Board. He proved a grafter charging $5000 for the transfer of one license. An investigation was appointed which reported adversely to the Board in the strongest terms. The Board didn't resign, but when the time came for reappointment, the President, Wilson, appointed Gen. Smith of New Jersey (of course), but the Senate refused to confirm. There is now a prohibition bill before the Senate which has passed the Committee and will doubtless pass, but what will be its fate in the House is an unknown quantity. Edwards, Harbison and Kettner will one or the other, help to decide that vote. To conclude 1384 Booze shops in 1886, now 282, a decrease of 1102, about 36 per year, will soon make Washington, D. C., so dry that the "Darkies" can't spit. Don't invest in Corner saloon hotels for it would be like trading good income orange groves for saloon property, and then have the blamed old town go "DRY."

When he was against the dry fight being made in 1914, and also against the dry fight being made in 1916, declaring it cannot win? Editorial, Nov. 19, 1914. HOW DRY is Mr. Harbison, who says in his paper August 27th, that prohibition is not a tenet of his party, and he hopes it will not become such? When he goes into the unlegal San Diego convention, agreeing to support the candidate of that convention though wet? Can Mr. Harbison be called dry at all? Mr. Kettner voted against the only dry measure, the Hobson amendment, that came up in Congress. Mr. Edwards circulated a petition against the saloons in Redlands nearly 30 years ago, and established a newspaper, the Redlands Facts, 26 years ago, in which no liquor ads were accepted, and used it to fight the saloons, so that for 25 years there have been NO SALOONS in Redlands, and has worked every year for 35 years for prohibition. These facts make it clear that JAMES S. EDWARDS nominated by the Prohibitionists and endorsed by the Progressives of the 11th district is the ONLY DRY CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS Vote DRY by voting for EDWARDS
