Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE Preservation of American national independence is the issue presented by the proposed league of nations. All else pales into insignificance before the ominous cloud that has risen over the eastern horizon and that threatens to destroy all that Americans have cherished and fought for during their life as an independent nation. If ever there was a time in the history of the United States for every real American to rally to the support of his government it is now. We were told, and it was a fact, that the German menace of 1917 was the greatest catastrophe that ever impended over our liberty—that if Germany won in her contest with the Allies of Europe she would then turn her attention to America and substitute the will of a despot for the popular form of government under which we have prospered and been happy. But, even if we had not entered the Great War when we did we would have had at least the satisfaction of putting up a fight to the finish before yielding to be ground under the Teuton heel. But the dangers of German invasion Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, Mrs. Annie Gardner and Johnny Holcomb returned from Oakland on Monday evening. They departed for the north on Thursday morning last. Mr. Holcomb transacted business in the northern city. The trip was made in their Packard and consumed about 17 hours. They left Fullerton at 4 o'clock in the morning and arrived at Oakland at 9 o'clock in the evening. The same rate of progress was made on the homeward trip. Horace Howard returned on Tuesday from Camp Lewis, looking fine and fit as a fiddle, after seventeen months of service with Uncle Sam's army. Horace was in the hospital corps and applied several times for service overseas, but was informed that he could not be spared from his work at Camp Lewis. We never saw our young friend looking better, and while he regrets being unable to see service overseas, he did his duty manfully and well, and finds on all sides a warm welcome home. M. F. Reagan of Los Alamitos was a business visitor in town Saturday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Reagan has a large acreage planted to beets, but is somewhat alarmed over the shortage of rainfall. It is expected, however, that during the next few weeks sufficient rains will descend to insure a good beet crop. One of the topnotch sales reported during the past week or two was the ten-acre grove of William Geedes on South Los Angeles street. Mr. Geedes sold his place for $35,000—$3500 per acre. It is reported that a few days later the new owner could have sold for $40,000. ESTRAY.-On March 6th, young Jerome Noel Noel that if Germany won in her contest with the Allies of Europe she would then turn her attention to America and substitute the will of a despot for the popular form of government under which we have prospered and been happy. But, even if we had not entered the Great War when we did we would have had at least the satisfaction of putting up a fight to the finish before yielding to be ground under the Teuton heel. But the dangers of German invasion were slight when compared with the perils that confront the republic today. Our President, elected by the people to support and defend the constitutional form of government bequeathed to them by the fathers, returns from Europe with a so-called constitution of a league of nations. The document, according to Mr. Wilson himself, was drawn by the British representatives at the international meeting at which it was adopted. Similar papers prepared by the American, French, and Italian delegates were cast into the discard, and the English plan is urged upon Congress and the people as the one we should endorse and become a party to. Under its terms our independence of legislation, of action, and even our right to national self protection are to be taken from us Bound in advance by our agreement to the restrictions upon our liberties imposed by the new constitution we, as a nation, are to be handed over to the tender mercies of a council of the league composed of nine members, including a representative of the United States. The vote of those nine delegates is to decide the fate of America in all matters that may arise in the future to disturb our national peace and welfare. Not only are we called upon to surrender our right to determine our own affairs according to our own standards, but we are to assume the burden of settling the disputes of other nations the world over, and to join with the other members of the league in the enforcement of those settlements. In plain language we are called upon by our own President to cease existence as an independent nation and to become merely a state of a world federation subject to the will of a central governing body controlled, eight to one, by nations jealous of our marvelous prosperity and rapid rise to world power, and eager to seize every opportunity to accomplish our overthrow and their own advancement. In 1861 the country was threatened with a division into two republics. The One of the topnotch sales reported during the past week or two was the ten-acre grove of William Geedes on South Los Angeles street. Mr. Geerdes sold his place for $35,000—$3500 per acre. It is reported that a few days later the new owner could have sold for $40,000. ESTRAY. On March 6th, young Jersey cow and one horse. G. Schneider, Broadway and Garden Grove Road. Phone 182R2. WOMEN OF U.S. LOOK TO WOMEN OF CALIFORNIA By Mrs. E. R. Brainerd, California State Chairman National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee Women of California, hark! Our Government comes to us next April with the last Liberty Loan—the Victory Loan. We women of California have been accorded a place in the affairs of state. We must justify that trust by recording ourselves further as financial factors in the state and nation. Our work must stand out boldly by itself so that all may see that women can actually conduct financial campaigns when the Government calls. MRS. E. R. BRAINERD Not only must we do a large share in swinging the Golden State over the top in the Victory Loan, but we must make such a showing that women In 1861 the country was threatened with a division into two republics. The challenge was met and defeated at a huge toll in life and treasure. But at the worst the Union and the Confederacy would have continued to exist as separate and independent states of the world. Now both North and South joined again into one independence-loving country, are called upon to surrender their sovereignty and yield to the yoke of European and Asiatic domination. It is a crisis like of which we have never faced before. Although the Republican party is destined to lead the fight for national liberty, Americans of all faiths should rise as one man against the cowardly abdication of principles for which our forefathers did not hesitate to lay down their lives. Persons who fly off at a tangent and frothily condemn the Senate for refusing to swallow, without stopping to taste, President Wilson's league of nations dish, should pull themselves together, pause and reflect a bit. The senators were elbected by the people to safeguard their interests, and it would be a crime against those constituents if they should accept without consideration the iridescent dream of a scholarly theorist. The league of nations is the most momentous question that ever came before a legislative body, and should not be accepted until its provisions are well understood. MRS. E. R. 3RAINERD Not only must we do a large share in swinging the Golden State over the top in the Victory Loan, but we must make such a showing that women throughout the nation can point to us and say: "Women can be all around citizens. It is not theory. The California woman proved it in the Victory Liberty Loan." Let this be our slogan for the next few months: "A hard job but for that reason the best." It is a challenge. Women of California, don't fail! Start now. "At a time when the divisions on its flanks were faltering, and even falling back, the Ninety-first pushed ahead and steadfastly clung to every yard gained."—Official Communique. The Ninety-first was from the Pacific Coast. Remember those boys in the Victory Liberty Loan. A Canadian Baptist minister, who chose a rifle rather than a chaplaincy and had his leg shot away in action, was being commiserated on the "loss" of the leg. "I did not lose my leg," he replied. "I traded it for a dear conscience." Better trade your dollars for a clear conscience in the Victory Loan. You won't regret it if you will get the dollar back with interest. Victory has been won, but it must be kindly done. The person is asked to give only to leeds Buy War Savings Stamp.

The man who succeeds President Wilson on March 4, 1921, will not be a blind advocate of the league of nations in its present form—a cat's paw to rake Great Britain's chestnuts out of the fire. One slip of the tongue may damn a man forever no matter how glorious his previous career. Champ Clark's unfortunate remark that there was little difference between a conscript and a convict will always be remembered against him. Perhaps he had no thought of comparing the two classes except as to the freedom of their movements, but people will put a different construction upon his speech. The past two years have been strenuous ones for the American people. They have fought a great war and whipped the world's last autocrat, they have fought and vanquished the Spanish flu, they have overthrown uprisings of the Bolsheviks, and have endured with fortitude a Democratic congress. But their cup is not yet full. Gen. Jacob Coxey is threatening to break out of the reservation and lead another army to Washington. If Jake's followers and the I.W.W. could be induced to lock horns and fight to a finish, both organizations would accomplish some good in the world. Official Washington is all shot to pieces and it looks like this nation ought to be going to the demilition bow-wows.

A number of German officers applied to the American commander at Coblenz for commissions in Uncle Sam's army, bringing with them credentials proving their efficiency, but the hard-hearted officer told them there were no vacancies at the present time. It is to laugh. A German officer knows only one method of controlling men, and should he adopt much tactics with the Sammies he would last probably as long as a snow-flake in a fiery furnace. Good news for Riverside and San Bernardino residents who drive through Orange county is contained in the announcement just made that the new Santa Ana Canyon road is completed and has been accepted by the Board of Supervisors.

Somebody some time ago, made a remark to the effect that our universities and colleges should be everhauled and the dreamers, socialists and reds weeded out of the faculty. This is becoming more apparent every day. Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of government at Harvard made the statement in a speech a day or two ago that George Washington, John Hancock, James Otis and Samuel and John Adams were "pestilent radicals and I. W. W.'s." Hart is making speeches attacking the Constitution of the United States. Only a short time ago a large number of eminent educators were cited as seditionists. These are not the kind of men to entrust with the training of young American minds. Four hundred workmen at the Hog Island shipyards became dissatisfied at the miserable pittance of $64 per week which the government was paying them, and struck for $72.$12 per day. They got it—at least they returned to work. Looking back over their record perhaps inspired them to demand higher pay. The Hog Island shipyard cost the American people sixty million dollars—and turned out one ship to help win the war. After devoting the past nine years of his life to the fascinating pursuit of nursing a young orange grove, E. N. Cook has decided to loaf for a time Ten years ago Mr. Cook came here from Colorado and purchased twelve acres of virgin soil on the Olive road, paying $6700 for the land. He set it to Valenclas, and a couple of weeks ago sold it to a gentleman from Whittier for $36,000. Mr. and Mrs. Cook will leave in a week or two for the east, visiting first in Colorado and afterward going to the home of their infancy in Illinois. They expect to return to Anaheim some time during the summer.
