PAGE FOUR Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kychel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter WORDS FROM A FRIEND Representative Dies, a Texas democrat, expressed his sentiments on the floor of the house a few days ago. He said: Mr. Chairman, when members talk about loaning money to the farmers of this country, and talk about democrats and republicans, it makes an honest non-partisan man laugh. The best thing you can do for the farmers of this country is to let them alone and quit spending their money and taxing the eternal life out of them. I wish the farmers of this country and the taxpayers of our land might have a return of the old democratic and republican theory that government is not created to support the people, but that it is a creature to be supported by the people. The great mistake we are making, my friends, here now is that we are practicing hypocrisy upon the people. We are leading them to believe that the government can support them and lift them by their boot straps out of their financial difficulties when, as honest men, we should say to them that all that the government can do is to protect their life and their liberty and tax them to support the government. people or any other people should be definite, explicit in its language, and its effect made known long enough in advance to permit full and free discussion. Particularly is this true of an international agreement which imposes new obligations upon us—obligations which other nations may call upon us to fulfill at the peril of our national honor. In our internal affairs we may sometimes excuse looseness of language in the framing of laws, although even this is an evil serious in its nature. But self-interest will point out the paths of harmonious adjustment where internal controversies alone are involved. It is not so with international rights, obligations, and controversies. Where a multitude of diverging and adverse interests are certain to be involved, as in a world peace treaty, no word or syllable or punctuation mark should be inserted or omitted that will leave room for possible doubt as to the new rights we acquire or the new obligations we assume. Our own laws we can change at will—our international obligations are beyond our control. In every essential, the proposed league constitution is vague and incomplete. It does not define the limitations upon the powers of the league of nations. It does not prescribe the powers and duties of the proposed body of delegates. It places no boundaries upon the powers of the executive council. It mentions without defining the secretarial or the secretary general. It imposes a general and vague obligation of financial support without prescribing any means or limitations upon the power of raising funds. Unlike the American constitution, which was a perfectly clear description of the form of government which should constitute the republic, the proposed constitution of the league of nations is involved, and utterly lacking in either but that it is a creature to be supported by the people. The great mistake we are making, my friends, here now is that we are practicing hypocrisy upon the people. We are leading them to believe that the government can support them and lift them by their boot straps out of their financial difficulties when, as honest men, we should say to them that all that the government can do is to protect their life and their liberty and tax them to support the government. You have taken the fairest and best government ever known among men and you are making it into the most despicable socialism. You took the American people at a time when they believed they could support themselves and their government, and you are teaching them hour by hour and day by day to expect that their government shall support them. Instead of telling our magnificent army, when the boys are coming back from France and are being demobilized, to go back to their jobs and engage in their former industries, you are leading them to believe that the government shall take it upon itself as a duty to support them. My friends, you are tearing down the greatest government, the greatest democracy, the world has ever seen, and you are building up in its stead the poorest fabric of socialism that history can record. Is it your intention to help the people? No. You will not help the people unless you tell them that the government has but one duty to the citizen, and that is to protect his life and property and give him an equal and fair race in this world. And you are teaching him that the duty of the government is to help him. My beloved country! I do not know; we are losing the greatest republic the world has ever seen. Talk about international democracies! It is being swamped amidst nebulous phrases and unintelligible jargon. Would to God the president of the United States would get on the Tennessee and come home and preserve this republic rather than meddle longer with the politics of Europe. We are casting the lot of the people of America, the peace and destinies of our country into what? Into the hotpotch of the quarrels and poverty and woe and destruction of Europe. There is not anything new to be said. Human nature is just the same as it was when our fathers made this republic. The president of the United States, representing what has been the greatest republic the world has ever seen, may speak of justice, and of the aricles upon the powers of the executive council. It mentions without defining the secretarial or the secretary general. It imposes a general and vague obligation of financial support without prescribing any means or limitations upon the power of raising funds. Unlike the American constitution, which was a perfectly clear description 6. The form of government which should constitute the republic, the proposed constitution of the league of nations is involved, and utterly lacking in either logical order or specific provisions. With all its clearness and directness, the American constitution has required much interpretation by the courts, but upon only one point was there an essential lack—a specific declaration as to the indissolubility of the union. Upon that question we fought a war. The constitution of the league of nations is weak in the same respect. But it is weak and uncertain in almost every other respect, as well. Republicans generally, and republicans in the Senate particularly, are cordially favorable to some plan, which shall commit the moral forces of mankind to maintain peace, to frown upon war and to promote justice in the international relationships, but there is good reason to doubt the wisdom of the United States becoming a party to a league of nations which puts at an end our cherished national rights and our boasted Aemrican advantages. WANT MORE SIGNERS FOR TAX MEASURES Conventions of County Officers at Sacramento Look Over Bills The assessors, auditors, recorders, tax collectors and treasurers of the counties of this state, in a convention at Sacramento, declared themselves in favor of a constitutional amendment that will have provisions of a nature that will prevent a single tax amendment from appearing upon the ballot every two years. Monday afternoon County Auditor W. C. Jerome and County Assessor James Sleeper returned from the Sacramento convention. They are enthusiastic over the success of the conventions. Each declares that the conventions did more real good for the people of the state than any conventions of the kind ever held. Joint sessions of all of the county officers represented were held, but most of the work was in the individual offices. The assessors, for instance, met separately, and reported their son- We are casting the lot of the people of America, the peace and destinies of our country into what? Into the hotch-potch of the quarrels and poverty and woe and destruction of Europe. There is not anything new to be said. Human nature is just the same as it was when our fathers made this republic. The president of the United States, representing what has been the greatest republic the world has ever seen, may speak of justice, and of the league of nations, and the end of the sorrows of mankind; but the best hope of this republic and of this people is upon our own shores, defending the Constitution of our fathers, protecting the liberties of the people and independent self-government, a representative democracy. And I wish, O God of Nations, that our president would come back home, and that we might leave upon this hemisphere a great democracyp, unentangled and unengaged with all the European broils that exist abroad today. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The first duty of the Senate and the country in the consideration of the proposed constitution of the league of nations is to find out what the document means. The draft of the constitution cabled to America and printed in the press is in very general terms, vague, indefinite, and incomplete. For the information of the country and Congress, and particularly of the Senators who are alone responsible for the ratification of any treaty before it becomes effective, the president should appear before Congress in open session to explain the various provisions and to answer questions regarding their purpose, meaning and probable effect. Any agreement binding the American W. C. Jerome and County Assessor James Sleeper returned from the Sacramento convention. They are enthusiastic over the success of the conventions. Each declares that the conventions did more real good for the people of the state than any conventions of the kind ever held. Joint sessions of all of the county officers represented were held, but most of the work was in the individual offices. The assessors, for instance, met separately, and reported their sentiment to the joint convention. The conventions were called for the purpose of considering proposed legislation. It was found by the county officers that a good many bills have been presented. All of the bills were studied with an eye to whether or not they were practical improvements upon the work as it is now being done. Those that were good were approved and those that were useless or worse than useless were disapproved. The opinion of these conventions will go a long way with deciding the legislature as to what shall be done. Hitherto, under the initiative law, it has been an easy matter for the single taxers to get proposed legislation upon the ballot every two years. Organization to defeat the measures as they came up have been necessary and the fights have been expensive. The single tax idea has so far been defeated in this state every time that it has been put up. Stability in taxation systems was urged by tazation experts for the state. A constitutional amendment has been proposed whereby upon taxation measures an initiative petition must have a petition of twenty-five per cent of the vote cast at the preceding general election. Under existing laws a petition with eight per cent of the signatures is all that is necessary to get the matter on the ballot.

The pulpiteers keep telling us thereworld, but due on the first oused to before w ANAHEIM GAZETTE BEACH CHAMPS UNMERCIFULLY TROUNCED (Continued from Page 1) the score 28 to 0 against Santa Monica, Coach Brennon exclaimed: "I thought we knew something about football, but these boys are showing us that we don't know a thing about the game." Santa Monica showed clever work in off-tackle bucks, but were completely at the mercy of their husky opponents. Tom McFadden, a Stanford star, and Attorney Allen, star of eastern gridirons, assisted Coach Culp in putting the team on its metal, and praise is due them, along with Coach Culp for the splendid showing made against the visitors. Manual Arts held the honor of administering the worst defeat to an opponent this year, taking a game with a 40 to 0 score. Fullerton now takes the honors with a victory against Santa Monica of 60 to 0. HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED "Santa Monica ready?" "Fullerton ready?" At 2:30 sharp Jerry Abbott, the class of Southern California football officials, bawled these words to the captains of the two football teams lined up on Fullerton field to fight for the right to a place in the Southern California football championships. With a tion. He was all over the field blocking tackling, bucking the line, and receiving punts faultlessly. The little fellow is a wizard and should not pass under the eye of the all-Southern judges without a blue ribbon. And General John. We must never overlook this lanky lad. True it is he had a wonderful team to direct but the beauty of it all is that he could direct them and do it right. Never a bobble or a slip did he make. Santa Monica was guessing at every stage of the game. Fullerton plays, players and generalship were at John's Caposal and he played them all well. He too, of the four back-field men, will get a place on the all-Southern. Where can a better back-field be found? Generalship, dash, passing, puncting, blocking, bucking, tackling or anything you want. Where is their equal? All should make the first team of the honorary squad and no one who has seen them in action doubts that they will. Then there was the line. Santa Monica had won by overwhelming scores in the bay league. Every one of her opponents had tasted defeat. She had circled their ends or bucked through their line. She expected to turn the trick Saturday, but oh boy! what a sad undertaking. Those stocky determined little lads from the "Town of the Palisades," had calculated without their hosts. Only occasionally could they dint the wall the Red Men made and never could they get round those ends. Goodwin at right end and Hetebrink at left, were sentinels of the kind who were at their post all the time. Both were equally good. Pete and his 128 pounds tackled and blocked till sometimes it looked as though he would not possibly be able to go longer but each time the sturdy little man came up for more, while the wiry Dick complained that "he wished some one would turn a real team loose." HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED "Santa Monica ready?" "Fullerton ready?" At 2:30 sharp Jerry Abbott, the class of Southern California football officials, bawled these words to the captains of the two football teams lined up on Fullerton field to fight for the right to a place in the Southern California football championships. With a wave of his long right arm Captain Hogan of the Santa Monica team signified that all of his men were ready, while an instant later Captain Stogsdill, with a toss of his head yelled, "Let her go," and one of the most memorable football games in the annuals of Southern California high school athletics was on. From the instant that Jerry's whistle blew putting the ball in play, till the close of the game after full 60 minutes of play, the two teams were at one another with the ferocity of men who knew that no quarter was to be shown and none was to be expected. Both teams were in win, both had been told to give everything they had and so it was from start to finish. Each went the limit and though one won by a monstrous score the other fought and lost only after the gamest exhibition against odds that any team has ever put up on any Southern California field. From the very instant of the kick off Fullerton began a drive that sent the classy, fighting Santa Monica boys reeling back toward their own goal line with monotonous regularity. Only once in the whole contest did the beach boys make any dangerous onslought on the Red Men. In the second quarter after Fullerton had trampled over them for her first three touchdowns, the Santa Monica fellows took the ball on the 50-yard line and started a march through the Fullerton line and for four successive attempts made their downs, planting the ball on the Fullerton five-yard line. With four attempts it looked like a sure score for the visitors but here the famous Fullerton fight stood out as it has so many times this year. Carnes who had carried the ball so well, and who is a real player, was called upon to make the first try. Bang he went. Meiser caught him and down they went. Santa Monica had lost a half yard. Again Carnes carried the ball. This time Osborn and Hale nailed him. The third attempt a crisscross was smeared by Dick Goodwin and the fourth attempt through center BORN OF WAR It is difficult yet to value succubaly or in some instances to perceive all the war has brought to our national life or prumed from it. The things we think little now may appear to posterity the greatest. The Thrift Stamp idea seems to be one of these. Originated as a war emergency measure, it has taken hold; has appealed to the common sense of America, and may yet shape the destiny of the nation. It is patent, now that the war is over, that the Thrift Stamp has come to stay. If we get nothing else out of the war but the habit of saving, which begets the corollary simple living, we will have reaped the full fruit of the war. For a thrifty democracy is a firm democracy, a potent democracy, a democracy strong enough to preserve itself. A man who saves is a better citizen than the man who does not save. He becomes a stockholder in his government with a victory against Santa Monica on 60 to 0. Thus you have the Fullerton team. Not much has been said of the game. It was the team. They scored three touchdowns in the first quarter, one in the second quarter, two in the third quarter and three in the fourth quarter. Arch Hawkins was the shining light. His running with the ball was a real demonstration of speed, and headwork, while his passing was nothing less than phenomenal. Captain Stogsdill was the equal of the speedy Arch, each scoring three of the Fullerton touchdowns. Stogy could not miss a ball, receiving two neat forward passes with one-handed catches and intercepting two Santa Monica attempts which he carried over for touchdowns. Goodwin scored twice on long forward passes from A. Hawkins. One was a pass of nearly 60 yards which "Windy" took on the dead run, and which he converted into a touchdown after a run of 20 yards. Travis made his score through the Santa Monica county field. A republicarly, are one plan, forces of frown in out there wisdom of party to仕 at an rights and ages. A judge Assessor the Sacramento县 held, but individual instance, their sen- It is patent, now that the war is over, that the Thrift Stamp has come to stay. If we get nothing else out of the war but the habit of saving, which begets the corollary simple living, we will have reaped the full fruit of the war. For a thrifty democracy in a firm democracy, a democracy strong enough to preserve itself. A man who saves is a better citizen than the man who does not save. He becomes a stockholder in his government and he is jealous for the welfare of that government in war and in peace. In war he will fight for it with his life. In peace he will protect it from those who would tear down. As America saves from this day on so shall she grow in benign power and in the eyes of mankind. "A bank account for every American citizen" should be one of our national ideas is freighted with a mighty change for the better in our national life. The Thrift Stamp is backed by the United States government. Without doubt it is the greatest investment ever offered and it is in such a form that every American, big and little, can take advantage of it. American soldiers who waded hip deep in the hog wallow at Brest are glad to learn from war department officials three thousand miles away that the mud was purely psychological. They will continue, however, to do their own thinking, and the people to wonder why conditions of this kind are not remedied instead of being defended. The pulpiteers and the pamphleteers keep telling us that we are living in a new world, but life rent seems to fall due on the first of the month just as it used to before we were all done over, here the famous Fullerton fight stood out as it has so many times this year. Carnes who had carried the ball so well, and who is a real player, was called upon to make the first try. Bang he went. Meiser caught him and down they went. Santa Monica had lost a half yard. Again Carnes carried the ball. This time Osborn and Hale nailed him. The third attempt a crisscross was smeared by Dick Goodwin and the fourth attempt through center found the whole Fullerton squad on the ball though the determined and fighting Carnes had pushed and fought his way to within a yard of the Fullerton goal. After this the Red Men never allowed their opponents another chance. Santa Monica though game to the core and fighting well, was no match for the superior skill and versatility of attack that the Fullerton team, under the direction of General John Hawkins, presented. In the last three years Fullerton has had many occasions to proclaim her football teams as among the best of the South, but the squad that Coach Culp turned loose on Saturday, football fans and eminent critics, aver to be the best the South has shown in years. Every thing a team needed seemed on tap. Arch Hawkins and his running and passing were sensational. This boy should make the all-Southern without a doubt. Capt. Stogsdill demonstrated that a team needs a line plunger and his dash carried the ball across the goal three times. He fought and was deadly accurate in his play both on offense and defense. Travis, a former Santa Monica man, and now the Fullerton quarterback, treated his former team-mates to an exhibition that they thought he could not give for the best they thought he was worth last year was a sub-posi- Arch, each scoring three of the Fullerton touchdowns. Stogy could not miss a ball, receiving two neat forward passes with one-handed catches and intercepting two Santa Monica attempts which he carried over for touchdowns. Goodwin scored twice on long forward passes from A. Hawkins. One was a pass of nearly 60 yards which "Windy" took on the dead run, and which he converted into a touchdown after a run of 20 yards. Travis made his score through the Santa Monica center defense. He worked the fake for eight yards and piled his former team-mates in a jumbled mass. Fullerton had everything. Her plays were varied and worked as though machine made. Santa Monica has but one attack and it was soon solved. Her warriors fought magnificently, till the last minute, but they were outclassed, and outplayed at every turn. They had met a real team. An organization that is balanced and possessed of football ability that few teams possess. Fullerton will now wait a week before going into the finals. Her opponent will be the winner of the game that will be played between Coronado and Redlands at Coronado next Saturday. The place of the game is not as yet determined. The teams lined us as follows: Fullerton.....Santa Monica Goodwin.....R.E.L....Sexton Meiser.....R.T.L....Hogan Osborne.....R.G.L....Davis Kuchel.....C....McEwan Hartranft.....L.G.R....Togo Hale.....L.T.R....Stotts Hetebrink.....L.E.R....Nelson Travis.....Q.B....Edinger A. Hawkins.....R.H.L....Gunther Stogsdill.....L.H.R....Judy J. Hawkins.....F.B....Carnes Abbot, referee; Leonard, umpire; Trotter, head lineman; Crandall, timer. FINAL GAME FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Fullerton is prepared to meet the winner of the Redland-Coronado game to be played at Coronado next Saturday. The final game will be played on the following Saturday, the place to be determined following the Coronado game. Experts declare Fullerton will have little difficulty in defeating the winner. Should Fullerton defeat the winner of Saturday's game, and thus become champions of Southern California, it is understood Fullerton will challenge Bakersfield for the championship of the state. General Jacob Coxey says he is a candidate for President. Well, perhaps General Jake is justified in thinking that almost anything might happen. There is a good deal of talk now about what the colleges and universities ought to do hereafter. Well, they might try becoming more informative and less inflammatory for a change. Secretary McAdoo says the Reubli can party was atrophied when McKinley died. Well, Mc. must admit, in view of what happened on November 5th, that the Democratic party was paralyzed from a biff on the bean when he retired to the movie belt.
