NEW GR THEATRE BEAUTIFUL SAFE AND SANITARY Best Photo-Drama This Year By Winston Churchill The critics are unanimous in their praise Otheman Stevens, Examiner—Few pictures can compare with this, and none can excel it in acting.

ALL SEA Prices: Matinees, 25,35c; Ch THE JAPANESE DEBATE In the course of the senate debate on the immigration bill the other day, Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, leader on the republican side, made these remarks: "I hope this discussion about Japan will end soon. Japan is a great power, and she is in control of the Pacific. Our relations with her are friendly now, but I don't know what effect this debate will have on those relations. We may some time have cause to regret these remarks." While nothing is ever to be gained by treating the Japanese question as tinder, too inflammable to admit of free and frank interchange of opinions, sentiments and feelings, yet there is good sense in what the New Hampshire senator has in mind. Certainly it is time, in the more intimate and delicate relationships which the country now bears to all the world, that the old fashioned hair-trigger statesman whose conception of the suitable attitude of an American public man was to bluster about and figuratively Dr. A. Zimmerman has opened an office here for the practice of dentistry. He came originally from Ohio. He has been in California, however, a number of times during the past fifteen years. Three years ago he purchased "The Peppers, a 42-acre orange grove, two miles from Anaheim, where he intends to make his permanent home. He has traveled extensively throughout the old world. He practiced for a short time in Panama, Buenos Ayres, London, Paris and Berlin for the purpose of getting an insight into the profession in those places, and to study methods and conditions. He comes here with the assertion that a close comparison of dental methods in this and foreign countries leads him to believe that America leads the world in this work. He is also of the opinion that there is no place to live that can compare with California and that Orange county is the best place in the Golden state. Dr. Zimmerman is a graduate of the Ohio Normal University, the Ohio Medical University and Washington- OLD WAR VETT Peter Martin of By Peter Martin, Grand Army me died at his home of slow starvation old.

Certainly it is time, in the more intimate and delicate relationships which the country now bears to all the world, that the old fashioned hair-trigger statesman whose conception of the suitable attitude of an American public man was to bluster about and figuratively shake his fist at other nations should be retired to private obscurity. The jingo can be nothing but a menace to good feeling, and upon good feeling tolerable relations must be founded, and on no other basis. Aside from flamboyant jingoism senatorial discussion of the Japanese question should be rather helpful than otherwise, and the franker and more sincere the debate the better. The adage as to letting sleeping dogs lie does not apply to the relations of important nations with more or less conflicting interests and aspirations. We should know what the actual sentiments of the Japanese are and not permit American sentiments as to Japanese immigration to be covered up, to encourage misleading ideas as to actual American feeling. Senator Gallinger's hope that discussion about Japan will end soon is foredoomed to disappointment. This does not necessarily imply that continued discussion perfectly frank and open, must tend to defeat or postpone a satisfactory adjustment. Quite the contrary.

WANT SIMPLE DRESS The wearing of jewelry, silk hose and fine and fancy clothes by the pupils of the Long Beach public schools was denounced at a meeting of the Woman's City Club at the Hotel Virginia. A resolution supporting Dr. Lewis P. Crutcher, president of the Long Beach board of education, in his campaign for the elimination of the extravagance in dress was passed following a lively discussion. Members of the club expressed themselves practically unanimous in favor of adopting a uniform dress, but not a dress uniform, as worn by a great many school children in European countries. Silk hosiery and jewelry were especially condemned, and President Crutcher was notified that the Woman's City Club would back his movement to prevent local students from wearing their "best" clothes to school. Great sacrifices are often made by the parents of some poor children in order that their offspring may appear at school garbed in just as good clothing as their wealthy neighbor's, according to the argument of one of the women in favor of adopting some rule to moderate the dress in the public schools.

OLD WAR VETERAN IS MUSTERED OUT Peter Martin of Fullerton Summoned By Death Peter Martin, one of the prominent Grand Army men of Orange county, died at his home in Fullerton Saturday of slow starvation. He was 73 years old. In an effort to save his life, physicians at the Anaheim Sanitarium performed an operation known as gastrochomy, in which they removed his stomach, in the hope of lengthening his life, but weakened by the affliction before the operation was performed, he failed to recover and died on Saturday. Martin was taken to the sanitarium in a dying condition, and at first the case was looked upon by the physicians as hopeless, but in a last effort the operation was performed. In the operation, the end of Martin's esophagus was cut off and his entire stomach removed. The stomach was treated with a medical process and returned to the man's body five hours later. Mr. Martin was born in England in 1844. While he was still a boy his parents came to America. pected to furnish strong opposition to the bill. At the present time Indian contends there is practically no limit to the appropriations for running their offices. The tax commission, he says further, from the nature of its work, is best qualified to pass on county budgets. Incidentally, the bill furnishes a way to keep the state tax commission in existence. Otherwise, it would wind up its affairs with the report to the state legislature this month. Another move is to abolish the state board of equalization, turning its work over to the tax commission. QUESTION INVOLVING SAILORS FROM ORIENT Supreme Court to Pass Upon Matter Important to California An industrial case of particularly keen interest to Pacific coast shipping interests and sailors shortly will come before the supreme court of the United States. In general the case involves the contract labor law and specifically the right of American shipowners to sign oriental crews on vesicles but a short time until Japanese and Chinese crews will replace American sailors and practically all ships engaged in the Pacific trade because of the considerable difference in the wages for which they will work. 12,000 TAKE MAIL COURSE Besides the six thousand students who began work on the campus of the University of California, January 15, twice that number, through correspondence courses, will be students of the university, in college subjects or in agriculture, during the coming half year. Announcement has just been made by the Extension Division of the courses in English to be given to non-resident students during the next half-year by the aid of Uncle Sam's mail bags. There will be courses for plain folks who want to master good grammar, who want to overcome language difficulties of a foreigner who has come to make his home in a new land, or who want to acquire skill in business English, the writing of business English, or other related areas. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Dalaware county, New York, into the United States service at Delhi, N.Y. He was assigned to Capt. William Plaskott's Co. F., 144th Regiment, N.Y. Volunteer Infantry. For eighteen months he served as a drummer, taking part in all the engagements of his regiment. He was alwas at his post of duty and achieved a gallant record for meritorious service. Although in numerous engagements, having fought through the entire war, Mr. Martin escaped without being wounded. STATE CONTROL OF COUNTY EXPENSES The running expenses of county offices in California will come under state supervision and control if a bill proposed by Senator J. M. Inman of Sacramento is adopted by the legislature. Inman's bill provides that each county yearly shall submit to the state tax commission a budget showing how much is wanted for the county offices for the coming year. The tax commission would be the final arbiter as to the amount to be allowed. It would be at liberty to slash items from the county budget just as the state board of control slashes from the state budget. Of course, county officials are ex- SAILORS FROM ORIENT Supreme Court to Pass Upon Matter Important to California An industrial case of particularly keen interest to Pacific coast shipping interests and sailors shortly will come before the supreme court of the United States. In general the case involves the contract labor law and specifically the right of American shipowners to sign oriental crews on vessels in far eastern ports and then, after the ships have reached an American port, assign the foreign crews to other vessels. The case comes up from the federal district court of California on a writ of certiorari just issued by the highest court. That the case will be reviewed is largely due to the efforts of Paul Scharrenberg, secretary of the California State Federation of Labor, who was the moving spirit of the presecution in the lower court. It appears that the Pacific Mail Steamship company brought forty-two Chinese to American to man their steamer Venezuela. Mr. Scharrenberg alleged the importation of the orientals to be in violation of the contract labor law and appealed to Commissioner General Caminetti of the immigration service. While the commissiener was investigating the charges, the case got into the California court and a decision was rendered in favor of the defendant, mainly on the precedent of a similar case a few years ago in which the Dollar Steamship company was held not to have violated the contract labor law in signing oriental crews in much the same manner. Pacific coast labor organizations fear, it is understood, that unless the decision of the federal district court of California is reversed, it will be Announcement has just been made by the Extension Division of the courses in English to be given to non-resident students during the next half-year by the aid of Uncle Sam's mail bags.

Its aim is to teach correct and effective use of words, good construction of sentences and paragraphs, and the writing of letters, reports and narratives. There will be courses also in the English subjects required for admission to the university. A number of other correspondence courses in English of college grade, will be offered, including courses in "the foundations of writing," in exposition, in argumentation and in narrative and in descriptive writing, and in the theory and practice of reporting for newspapers and of news writing. There will be a course giving a general survey of English literature, from its beginning to Milton, and another such course carrying the story on from Milton to the end of the Nineteenth century. There will be courses in the writing of the short story, in writing typical forms of English verse, in literary study of the English Bible and of the contemporary drama, in literary criticism, in representative English novels, and in representative English comedies, and a course on Shakespeare. day, Mon., Tuesday JARY 21==22==23 Y MATINEE 2:30.

Special Orchestra DEMOCRATIC NEW YEARS GREETING The Wilson administration's New Year's greeting to the nation is a bond issue. After casting about for weeks to find some effective manner of making up the huge deficit which the administration had brought to the federal treasury, the ruling party has decided to take a short cut to solvency and it will soon put on the market a number of millions—in a sum not yet determined—of Panama canal bonds. From the White House comes word that this course has been adopted to meet an emergency. By general definition, an emergency is something unforeseen; whereas the present condition of the national strong box has been foreseen and predicted many a time and oft since the passage of the tariff of 1913, with its reduction of duties ruinous alike to American manufacturers and the American treasury. Meantime many expedients have been resorted to to bolster up the faltering treasury balance. Taxes, novel, oppressive and inequitable, have been devised and applied; the arts of the bookkeeper have been used in its scheme of democratic administrations—is to be thrust upon us in time of peace; and for fifty years the tax bills of the voters will carry a specific and costly reminder of Woodrow Wilson's term of office. The day of reckoning now is financial only. There will be another day of reckoning—political in its nature—in 1918. The party which has shown such inaptitude in practical management of the country's business will then find that words and phrases and the plea of false peace will not avail. The country will have to pay these bonds. The democratic party will have to pay for them in another way. Because Assemblyman J. C. Burke refused to sign the statement indorsing the present state administration, G. B. Brown was unable to get a position as an attache of the state legislature. Brown was told by Burke that there was no question about the job. However, that was what Burke said before he went up against the administration program at the opening of the session. Burke says he found that if he did not sign a statement indorsing everything the administration had done he could not go into the caucus.
