WEASEL WORDS AND SUGAR No one knows President Wilson's ability to deceive with "weasel words" better than the Louisiana sugar growers and, incidentally, the beet sugar growers of California. When, during the Baltimore convention, the Louisiana delegation was asked to swing its vote to Wilson, the chairman said they would vote for Wilson only if he would "play fair" on the tariff on sugar. Accordingly, Mr. McCombs got Mr. Wilson on the long distance phone, and the Louisiana chairman asked him where he stood on the duty on sugar. "Get a pencil and take down my words," replied Mr. Wilson. "Now write this down: 'I will not advocate taking the duty from any legitimate industry.'" The Louisiana sugar men were satisfied and voted for Mr. Wilson's nomination. It is not hard to imagine their consternation when, the Underwood bill being under consideration, and Mr. Underwood having let the duty on sugar stand, President Wilson insisted that sugar be put on the free list. The chairman of the Louisiana delegation in Congress, who had been a member of the delegation to the convention, rushed to the White House. He had with him the little penciled note made in the telephone booth at Baltimore. "Oh, yes, I said that. That is just what I said," replied Mr. Wilson, to his brother. CARNIVAL OPENS WITH AUTO PARADE ORANGE COUNTY INDUSTRIAL PARADE OF FLOATS TAKES PLACE TOMORROW FOLEY & BURK AGGREGATION IS COMPOSED OF ENTIRELY NEW CONCESSIONS Down on the Deutsch property on Lemon street, there is something of interest to be seen this week, and people from all over the county are coming in to enjoy it. Under the auspices of the board of trade the Foley & Burk company is holding its carnival, and the novelties there are various enough to please everybody. Foley & Burk have been here before. They belong to California and have a reputation for giving good, clean shows, but many new attractions have been added since their former visit to this region. It would require too much space to give a list and description of all the concessions with the company, but there are various kinds of curiosities and monstrosities, big men and little women, big snakes and little horses, wild men from the South Sea Islands, and things that you never saw before. Everybody should see them, especially those who believe that 'there ain't no such animals.' Donald McGregor, the giant, is a lineal descendant of Rob Roy. It only costs a jitney to get past F. K.

"But I do not consider sugar, or, indeed, any other industry which can live only by protection, a 'legitimate' industry. Therefore, I insist that sugar be put on the free list." GETS BIRTHDAY PRESENT Sergt. Leon S. Hatfield son of J. S. Hatfield of this city, who has been with the troops at Nogales, returned on Tuesday, and was in town meeting his many friends. Sergt. Hatfield took the examination for lieutenant in the regular army and the papers have been forwarded to the war department at Washington. He expects to hear from the national capital within a month, and says he hopes to obtain the commission. Mr. Hatfield presented his son with a birthday present in the shape of a gold watch fob, made out of the medal won by him at target practice while a member of Company E. He won the medal 11 times out of 15 competitions, having been the best marksman in the company. Leon was 21 years of age last May and is very proud of his birthday present. A. W. Black of East Anaheim was in town yesterday, and stated that people in his vicinity are busily engaged in doing temporary work on the west bank of the river from the Olive bridge to the Garden Grove line. More team work is necessary and Mr. Black makes an appeal to all people with teams to report at the river and help nut in the temporary construction work.

It is a clean show, and everything is worth the price. Thousands of people were in town from adjacent neighborhoods to witness the opening Tuesday evening, and the streets were almost impassable. There were miles of autos parked along the streets, and each one brought an overflowing load. In Orange county there are 4867 autos, and it is believed none of them were missing. The automobile procession started at the Santa Fe depot promptly at 7:30 o'clock and made its way down congested Center street headed by the Anaheim band. Some of the cars were artistically decorated with carnival colors. Yesterday was Knights of Pythias day. There are 165 Knights in Anaheim and about 1500 in the county and invitations were issued to all the lodges in this section of the state to be present. Each lodge in the county has had a committee of three working in conjunction with the Anaheim committee. Last night the D. O. K. K. were scheduled to give a drill. Those initials stand for Dramatic Order Knights of Korrassan, and they are so well drilled that not a word of command is given. A big program of sports and contests was arranged and carried out, and a parade of all the Knights was held in the evening. Tomorrow afternoon the industrial parade will be held in which the business houses of Orange county will participate. It will start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and prizes will be given to the most artistically decorated. The parade will start at the Santa Fe depot, marching down Center to Lemon, north on Lemon to Adele, "In the pre-went out that is easy to know ed.

C. Hazzard, one of the leading attorneys of San Francisco. Hazzard was in the east when the Republican presidential nominee, in 1905, was appointed counsel of a legislative committee that investigated the gas situation in New York City. He was in a position to study Hughes' work closely during that year, and in 1906 to watch the way in which Hughes handled the legal end of the insurance investigations. When Hughes became Governor of New York, Hazzard was in Albany and was in close touch with the chief executive throughout his administration, so that Hazzard probably knows more inside facts regarding Hughes and all that nominee stands for than nearly any other man onew living on the Pacific Coast. Based upon first-hand observations of the work of the Republican Presidential candidate, Hazzard has made the following statement, a statement that gives a more intimate view of Hughes than could be obtained at this time probably from any other Californian. Hazzard says: "Distance lends enchantment to some candidates for public office. The closer range one gets on Governor Hughes the more he becomes certain that there is no post within the gift of the people that would be too big for the man to fill through his own forcefulness; his own brains, and When he is elected President there When he is elected President there will be no doubt who is President, Hughes will need no secret springs of influence; no power behind the throne. He will recognize the voice of no master saving that of the people's will. And he will be able to discover the people's something in dollars and cents to Charles Evans Hughes. "In 1912, after California had sent a representative to New York state to investigate what that commonwealth was doing through regulation of public utilities, adopted its present railroad law. That law and similar laws in most of the other states are modeled on the New York law, and the New York law was the law Hughes put through as Governor. "He was elected Governor of New York in 1906, and in 1908 he was re-elected, and was the only Republican on the ticket who was re-elected, too. He got efficiency both terms. "When he first went into office, fresh from the insurance investigations, he found a Republican at the head of the insurance department who was honest and square, but a figurehead, nevertheless. Hughes requested this superintendent to resign and give way to a man who would prove himself competent. The superintendent refused. Governor Hughes preferred charges against the superintendent in the State Senate and got his removal. It was the first move against the bosses and for efficiency. The second came in the appointment of public service commissions. Ten commissioners were to be named, each receiving $15,000 a year. Commissionerships were naturally nice little political plums and they were wanted for party organization. Governor Hughes from the start, established an innovation in American public life. He innovation in American public life. He believed that highly paid public officials should be as competent and as fitted for their jobs as highly paid executives in private life would be. He lived up to his belief, too, and when he is elected President the United States is going to witness the starting spectacle of every public office being filled by men appointed not for HIGHWAY EXPENDITURES Increase of More Than 250 Per Cent In Total Outlay for Roads and Bridges in Twelve Years Rapid increase in total expenditures for roads and bridges, growth of building and maintenance activities under State supervision, and a sharp decrease in the proportion of contributions in the form of statute labor mark the development of highway work in the United States during the past 12 years. These facts are brought out by statistics for the calendar year 1915, recently compiled by the Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering of the department. The total length of public roads in the United States outside the limits of incorporated towns and cities was about 2,452,000 miles on January 1, 1916. Of this, about 277,000 miles, or 11.3 per cetn, were improved with some form of surfacing. The mileage of surfaced roads has been increasing at the rate of about 16,000 miles a year, and in 1915 aproximately one-half of this increase was made under the supervision of State highway departments. In addition, these departments supervised the maintenance of nearly 52,000 miles of main and trunk line roads. The increase in expenditures for road and bridge work in the United States has been from approximately $80,000,000 per year in 1904 to about $282,000,000 in 1915, an increase of more than 250 per cent. The expenditure of State funds during this same period increased from about $2,550,000 to more than $53,000,000. In addition, more than $27,000,000 of local funds was spent under State supervision in 1915, bringing the total road and bridge expenditures managed by the States to $80,514,699. This amount is greater than the total expenditures for nor Hughes the more he becomes certain that there is no post within the gift of the people that would be too big for the man to fill through his own forcefulness; his own brains, and When he is elected President there When he is elected President there will be no doubt who is President, Hughes will need no secret springs of influence; no power behind the throne. He will recognize the voice of no master saving that of the people's will. And he will be able to discover the people's will, too, because he has the human warmth and sympathy that is going to bring him close to the hearts of the people. "In the pre-campaign days the cry went out that he was cold—aloof. It is easy to know wheer that cry started. It never came from those who were able to meet him upon his own level of frank American manhood. It came from the political bosses with whom he had declined to deal saving right in the open. Hughes may be cold to men who are afraid to deal in the open. Nobody who ever met him in a square and straightforward manner ever noticed any coldness—any aloofness—in the man. They couldn't because it isn't there. "Hughes struggled, and fought, and conquered problems in New York that to the Empire State were just as vital and far-reaching in effect as any national problems during the last half-century have seemer vital and far-reaching to the nation. "The New York State Commission of Gas and Electricity, with power to regulate gas and electric light companies and to fix the rates charged by them, was organized because of Hughes. He had been appointed counsel of a legislative committee in 1905 that was formed to try and allay an all-pervading discontent regarding franchise rights and prices of gas. Hughes appeared before the State Legislature and urged the establishment of a commission, and through his urging and insistence New York took its first step in the direction of sound regulation of public utilities. "From Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, men are today holding liberal life insurance policies and, while they are alive, are receiving dividends and other cumulative features solely because Charles Evans Hughes defied one of the greatest combinations of capital the United States ever saw and forced it to be organization. Governor Hughes from the start, established an innovation in American public life. He innovation in American public life. He believed that highly paid public officials should be as competent and as fitted for their jobs as highly paid executives in private life would be. He lived up to his belief, too, and when he is elected President the United States is going to witness the starting spectacle of every public office being filled by men appointed not for their political prestige, but for their specialized knowledge. "One other point in Governor Hughes' record at Albany cannot be too clearly emphasized, and that was his attitude on the race track problem. "Race track owners at that time were a power to be reckoned with. Their investments were enormous and their followers were legion. It was freely predicted that any man who tried to combat them might as well give up any chance of future political preferment. Hughes started to combat them, and in combating them he had arrayed against him political bosses with their well-oiled machinery, backed by the enormous monetary resources of the men who demanded protection for the race track game. "The constitution of New York declared it to be the will of the people that race track gambling should be stopped, and provided that the legislature should enact suitable laws to prohibit the evil. Hughes demanded that the legislature do its duty. The legislature balked and Governor Hughes, single-handed, went into the districts of the state senators who were opposing the remedial race-track measure and, by direct appeal to the people, forced the legislation through. "These will give something of an idea of what Governor Hughes did for New York State. They are just examples of some of his fearless methods, but they ought to be sufficient to show the country what manner of man he is. "When he becomes President of the United States there will be no vacillation, no hesitation, no hedging in Washington. President Hughes will not only have the respect of the American people, but he will have the respect of the world, he and the nation he represents." Hazzard, who is actively working for the head of the Republican ticket in this state, is certain that New York the "pivot state" in the present election, will go for Hughes. "It can't urging and insistence New York took its first step in the direction of sound regulation of public utilities. "From Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, men are today holding liberal life insurance policies and, while they are alive, are receiving dividends and other cumulative features solely because Charles Evans Hughes defied one of the greatest combinations of capital the United States ever saw and forced it to behave. "He was counsel of the Armstrong Legislative Committee formed in 1906 to investigate insurance companies. At that time insurance companies, with countless millions behind them and surrounded by greater political influence than probably any other combination of wealth ever has acquired in one state, were operating so that a man had to die to benefit from an insurance policy. The entire insurance system was defective, there were tremendous frauds going on—and there were millions in money ready to be spent to perpetuate these frauds. "Hughes started his investigation. First he obtained assurance that no political considerations would hamper his work and that the inquiry would not be prematurely called off. This once obtained he instituted the biggest whirlwind one-man fight against seemingly overwhelming odds this country ever saw. "They tried to make him Mayor of New York City and call him off that way. It didn't work, because the results showed that there wasn't enough money in the world, or enough political preferment in the world to make Hughes neglect the duty at hand. "Hughes won, and it is a safe thing to say that every man, woman and child in these United States who today holds a life insurance policy owes "When he becomes President of the United States there will be no vacillation, no hesitating, no hedging in Washington. President Hughes will not only have the respect of the American people, but he will have the respect of the world, he and the nation he represents." Hazzard, who is actively working for the head of the Republican ticket in this state, is certain that New York the "pivot state" in the present election, will go for Hughes. "It can't help it," he said today. "The people of New York know him, and everybody who knows Hughes—really knows him—are supporting him." Dr. M. M.
