A WARNING NOTE FROM SOLID SOUTH A WARNING FROM THE SOLID 6..6 HON. TOM WATSON OF GEORGIA MAKES ELOQUENT PLEA AGAINST LEAGUE OF NATIONS Says President Surrendered to Europe What Our Revolutionary Fathers Gained by Sword, and All Our Soldiers Fought for in Late War. Following are extracts from a recent speech on the League of Nations delivered by Hon. Thomas Watson of Georgia: "In the league, the great charter is engulfed, the sovereignty of the people disappears, and a universal monarchy is at last established. "The council of the league will absorb within itself judicial power, legislative power, and executive power. "It will be a supreme court of the world, a supreme legislature of the world, a supreme executive of the world. "It will evolve its own army, its own treasury, its own system of finance, its own civil service. "It will have in its hands both the purse and the sword, and nowhere on" "Let him separate the league from the treaty! "The two have no business together. "It was an artifice, and a very dishonest one, to so entangle the peace treaty with the league that they can hardly be separated except by the men who entangled them. "Let the treaty stand on its merits in the Senate, and let the league go before the people as a separate proposition. "What objection can be urged? "They may say a popular vote on the league would delay the treaty; but one answer to that is that our Government went swiftly into the war, on a congressional resolution; and if it wants to it can quickly come out in the same way." "Besides, American independence, which cost a war of seven years, ought not to be surerdered as hurriedly as though it were never worth the Revolutionary struggle. "It is high time the voters of this Republic were allowed to take a hand in their governmental affairs. "We have never had an administration whose methods were so full of secrecy, duplicity, favoritism for the lords of special privilege. "No other administration ever showed such a fixed purpose to shut out the people from knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes, and to shut them off from any real influence over the policies of the Government. "The people are now told that they shall have no chance to vote on the league, no right to self-determination, and no opportunity to effectively antagonize the men who propose to transfer our independence to a supreme council seated in Europe." sorb within itself Judicial power, legislative power, and executive power. "It will be a supreme court of the world, a supreme legislature of the world, a supreme executive of the world. "It will evolve its own army, its own treasury, its own system of finance, its own civil service. "It will have in its hands both the purse and the sword, and nowhere on earth will there be a power to veto its measures or resist its usurpations. "It will be another Venetian council of ten, meeting in secret, and despotically ruling not one small State but every State. "It pretends to assimilate the yellow race, the brown race, the black race, and the white race. "It pretends to harmonize democracy with imperialism, the kings with the republics. "It pretends to reconcile the Buddhist with the Confucianist, the Mohammedan with the Christian. "It pretends to make a seamless garment out of 33 variegated pieces. "It pretends to expect international melody out of 33 discordant national notes. "If its real purpose is to put an end to just such disorder as the American colonists created, and the French created, and the South Americans created when they broke the yoke of tyrannical kings, then the league will be a success. "If the real purpose is to create an international guaranty and collection agency for the great bankers and bondholders of indebted nations, then the league will be a success. "If the real purpose is to permanently fasten the yoke of the conquerors upon Egypt, Asia Minor, Africa, India, Oceanica, and the greater part of China, then the league will be a success. "The President of the United States had no authority to make a new government for this country—but so far as his signature and official conduct could commit you to it he has done so. "Sworn to defend, protect, and preserve your supreme law, he has usurped the authority to make a new law which your supreme law must obey." The people are now told that they shall have no chance to vote on the league, no right to self-determination, and no opportunity to effectively antagonize the men who propose to transfer our independence to a supreme council seated in Europe. "Already Wilson has bound us to keep an army on the Rhine for 15 years. Already he has sent America to the Danube. Already he has sent an army into Silesia and another into Siberia. "Already President Wilson is spreading the American Army over Europe and into Asia. "In the name of the Creator that made us, when and where is this Wilsonian madness to stop? "Never before in the history of the human race has any one man arrogated to himself the right to revolutionize the government of a people, unless he came as a foreign conqueror with a sword in his hand. "It is an amazing thing, a monstrous thing, an almost incredible thing, that a President of the United States should appoint himself a minister to a European peace conference, should leave the country and be gone seven months, should secretly spend a hundred million dollars of people's money while secretly juggling with foreign politicians, and should then come home bringing what he calls a peace treaty, but which is in reality another government to be imposed upon this people. "It is the most astounding betrayal of trust that history records. "Suppose President Wilson should tell you that during his private conferences with the kings and the capitalists of Europe he became convinced that the American colonists made a huge mistake when they fought to free themselves from European control. "Suppose he should tell you that his Tory kinfolk in England were right in opposing our Whig-kinfolk in America! "Suppose he should say that we must undo what our Revolutionary fathers did surrender to foreign such a fixed purpose to shut out the people from knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes, and to shut them off from any real influence over the policies of the Government.

"He, your agent, sells you into foreign bondage. "He, the representative of your Government, signs away your Government into subordination to foreign Governments. "The President admits that we will lose our independence in the league. Therefore he himself admits that he went to France and surrendered the very thing that our soldier boys fought and died to maintain. The martyrs of the Revolutionary War died in vain; the 50,000 martyrs of the Great War of 1914 died in vain. One man has betrayed everything that those martyrs won! "The President says he will appeal to the country against the Senators who are battling to save our constitutional liberties and our national independence. "An appeal to the country is just what the country wants. "Why is President Wilson afraid to refer to this change of government to the people whose vital interests are involved? "Let him divide the questions, because they are two different propositions." ANAHBIM GAZETTE And They Say Some people had an idea that the $75,000 would give this city a park. That sum was only a starter. Quite a number of impromptu speeches were made around the old city hall just after the votes had been counted. Beats all as how some gents get excited. Some of the gents down the rialto buttonhole the reporter and give him an earful something thuswise: "Say, why don't youuse guys give some of these fellers a roast—what's the matter widya—why dontsha hand it to them—they need it. Say, if I was running a paper I'd hand it to them with bellzon." Now what do you know about that? A number of sportively inclined young men have been trying to pick winners in the big baseball games and have dug down deep in their socks to back up their opinions. As a result some of them have been running in the high gear while others have doubts regarding the ump's ability. The manager of a local playhouse ironically remarked, "that if the lights keep going out on me I'll have to fetch out the old coaloll lamp." Anyhow, it wasn't so bad—the moon was out, too. The idea is gaining considerable momentum that there are too many hombres feeding at the municipal pie counter. department for machines that are to be equipped with appliances that will make aeroplanes the deadly foe of battleships, is word that was brought here by C. Y. Martin of Minter street, who has been on a visit with his son, Glenn L. Martin, at Cleveland, says the Register. The company has just finished ten monster bombing planes for the war department, and is now building a number of big machines for the post office department for use in carrying mail. The equipment for torpedo carrying has been devised by Glenn Martin working in conjunction with a naval officer. The appliance is such that a torpedo can be sent into an object with absolute accuracy. It is to be attached to an aeroplane, which will fly straight at its object at the rate of 135 to 150 miles an hour, and the torpedo will be fired through a tube. "They figure," said C. Y. Martin, "that with this equipment a flock of aeroplanes can blow up any vessel afloat, and whatever defensive measures a vessel might take, it could not possibly escape when attacked by a sufficient number of planes. With enough aeroplanes equipped with this attachment, it is declared that no enemy vessel could get within 100 miles of our coast." Francis Cuttle, chairman of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee, was in town Tuesday arranging for the annual meeting of the committee to be held at the Grand theatre today, beginning at 10 o'clock. This will be one of the most important meetings ever held by the committee from the fact kind of 'look-see,' for a road up Old Saddleback. "I have in mind what I consider the most feasible route, particularly so since it would be a continuation of the road that is to be build to the public camping grounds in the Trabuco canyon. My idea would be to have the road leave the canyon bottom at Yaeger's place, take the side of the canyon up through the six fine groups of Coulter pine and spruce and come out on the ridge between Trabuco and Horse Thief canyons. Those pine flats would all make ideal camping grounds, and the view along this route is wonderfully fine. From the ridge between Horse Thief and Trabuco, the road could take the ridge to the top of Santiago Peak. "The government engineers may be able to give us a rough estimate of the cost of building the road. "One advantage of this route is that it will give Riverside county a chance to build to it easily, for there are two or three good routes for road building from the Riverside side. There was a time when there was a wood-hauling road in Horse Thief canyon to about a mile from the top of the ridge." WALNUT PRICES The fixing of walnut prices this week by the California Walnut Growers' Association was an event of real consequence to a large number of residents of Orange county, for growers of the county are in the midst of gathering a 10,000-ton crop, says the Register. Orange county has had a large share in the development of the walnut industry in this State and it is dust time and strenght in the by clatlion worth that fifty The manager of a local playhouse ironically remarked, "that if the lights keep going out on me I'll have to fetch out the old coal oil lamp." Anyhow, it wasn't so bad—the moon was out, too. The idea is gaining considerable momentum that there are too many hombres feeding at the municipal pie counter. Some pointed questions are being asked regarding those options. Coming right down to brass tacks, how many were there? It might as well dawn upon the minds of a number of citizens that the site for a city hall is located on the corner of Center and Claudina streets. The young lady says, "I'll say so!" If anybody happens to ask you, tell him there is going to be quite a scrap next April. Big medicine chiefs are already sending up the smoke signals. Who killed Miehanna Gamut? Or was it a case of self-destruction on account of the christening? Whatever became of those 641 petitioners. Some may have gone fishing. It is reported that the civic center is going to stage a come back. Eddie, fetch up the pulmotor. "Abe" stepped in to get a shave and while all lathered up his understudy breathlessly rushed up and imparted the news that a lady customer was in the store and wanted a pair of shoes. "Vell, vy didn't you wait on her," said Abe, in excitement. "I don't know where the shoes are," replied the boy. "Go quick and tell the lady to wait—I come right away," and soon Abe shot out of the door and down the street he went at a two-forty gait, looking for the customer. It's just one dern thing after another. To the casual observer it is evident the press agent of an oil company is working overtime in liberating gusher enemies vessel could get within 100 miles of our coast." Francis Cuttle, chairman of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee, was in town Tuesday arranging for the annual meeting of the committee to be held at the Grand theatre today, beginning at 10 o'clock. This will be one of the most important meetings ever held by the committee from the fact that the movement for a tri-counties river protection district will be launched, and petitions for signatures probably started on their rounds. Another matter that is of vital importance is the question of fire protection. This question has been emphasized by the destructive fires that raged in the mountain region this sumemr and denuded large sections of young growth. The meeting is expected to be largely attended by persons from all three counties. Billy Knott went down to Long Beach Sunday and brought home his father-in-law, Ad Schneider, who has been in a sanatarium at that place for the past month. SURVEYING A ROAD TO SADDLEBACK'S TOP Best Way to Reach Peak Will Soon be Determined. Within the next month a rough survey for a road up Trabuco canyon to the tops of Santiago Peak and Modjeska Peak, the two peaks that make up Old Saddleback, the giant of the Santa Ana mountain range. That is the expectation of Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of El Toro. Recently the Orange County Board of Supervisors entered into an agreement with the forest service whereby each would pay $3500 for the building of a road up Trabuco canyon from the Trabuco school house to the proposed public camping grounds near what is known as the Tin Mines. The road is to be built by the United States Bureau of Roads. Surveyors from that department were on their way to the Trabuco last week to make the survey for the building of Choice Orange we have just list 5 acres Valencia lately perfect-h replied the boy. "Go quick and tell the lady to wait —I come right away," and soon Abe shot out of the door and down the street he went at a two-forty gait, looking for the customer. It's just one dern thing after another. —To the casual observer it is evident the press agent of an oil company is working overtime in liberating gusher propaganda, and, of course, offering stock for sale. —Scenes attendant upon the wild and woolly West film dramas have great pulling powers for the box office. There is something about the early frontier days that'll never fade. —A Los Angeles concern advertising tires at such low prices drew quite a number of patrons from this city a few days ago. It is just such cases as this that is going to knock spots out of Old High Cost all along the line. All it needs is a start and the profiteering house of cards is going to tumble. Shoot 'em over!

The road is to be built by the United States Bureau of Roads. Surveyors from that department were on their way to the Trabuco last week to make the survey for the building of the road, but were switched to another project when it was learned that both Forest Supervisor Tillotson of San Diego and Forest Ranger Stephenson of El Toro were away from home fighting fire in the Angeles forest. "The surveyors will be engaged elsewhere for about two weeks, and will then be ready to make the Trabuco canyon survey," said Stephenson this morning.

Many years ago that seven cents a pound,ears when the walnut very unhappy be his crop remained without a buyer association is regradual increase in saying. That fac-condition of the industry has been pointed out too many times to need further presentation, and no one will deny the association's strength and efficiency in that regard. In the fixing of the price this year, the phase of the conclusions reached by the directors of the Central Association that strikes us as most worthy of comment, lies in the fact that the directors did not set a price fifty per cent above last year's price of twenty-eight cents. There was an undoubted temptation to seize upon a situation that might in the minds of some have justified a radical advance in prices over those set a year ago. That the directors, with cool judgment, looking always to the future of the industry, settled upon a fair price rather than an extreme price is to the everlasting credit of the association. The directors might have set a price a few cents above 31.5 and squeezed by with it, but in doing so the association might have laid itself open to accusations of profiteering, and it might have encountered some difficulty in selling the crop. There are one or two associations handling other products that this year have set their prices so high that they have incurred the enmity of dealers, particularly the retail grocers' organizations, and things aren't moving as smoothly for those associations as perhaps they would like. The walnut men are not going to experience enmity. Instead, they will have the friendship and co-operation of the various agencies and dealers, and that friendliness is something that will help to move not only this year's crop, but also next year's crop. Celebrating an increase of membership from 45 to about 360, the Brea Chamber of Commerce had a joyfest Saturday night, with a steak barbecue and program on a large vacant lot in the heart of the oil town. The "Blues," captained by W E Spicer, annexed 185 new members, and the "Reds," led by Captain Ed Peterkin, only secured about 125, so the Blues were guests and the Reds, with Harry Ray as chief cook, put on the feed, which was thoroughly enjoyed by over two hundred men of Brea and vicinity. J F Schweitzer was the champion member-getter, having brought in 45 new applications for membership during the drive. W A Culp, president of the Brea Chamber of Commerce, presided during the program, after several musical numbers by the orchestra, when short talks were made by the captains of the two teams, Mayor J. C. Sexton of Brea, and J. C. Metzgar and Mayor Mitchell of Santa Ana. Much merriment was occasioned when Rev. Spicer presented the captain of the Reds with a red-beet, and Harry Ray with a red pepper. Peterkin came back, after Spicer's flow of oratory, by presenting Spicer with a red bull. Spicer then felt "bully" and the afar was over with everybody happy and everybody boosting for a better Brea. Mrs. J. S. Perry of Butte, Montana, is visiting friends in this city this week.
