A POINT OF VIEW By ALBERT ABBOTT EVERSHARP PENCIL POINTS Candidate Harding says that if Candidate Cox is elected that President Wilson will be the "power behind the throne." So, we're not going to get rid of Mr. Wilson after all. Good! Some business blocks remind me of the fellow having on a clean dress shirt with dirty underwear. Some of the ear-laps that the ladies make with their hair to cover their dainty ears remind me of the eyeblinders on horses. Some people have autointoxication so much they don't feel like going anywhere; while others are so autointoxicated they are always agoing somewhere. Some "shear steals" ARE sheer steals. Just because there are 23 musicians in the Anaheim Elks Band does not mean it is a "23-skidoo" organization; on the contrary, it is an AI aggregation. Like in the personal courting field, the same is in the national political courting field—a third party is not wanted. on the town's topography, and boosting the improvements. It is announced that a Curtiss aeroplane factory is to be established at Riverside. A couple or more factories would be a good thing for Anaheim. Everybody that has a key to a bank is not rich. At the free medical show in town one has to imagine the scenery (stage settings are nil), and imagine he is sick. Some writers of pithy paragraphs need pity. If a fellow isn't registered in Dun's, he's done for. The injunction, "Love one another," is as applicable to nations as to individuals. It is one of the great laws of Heaven. And nations, like individuals, may well measure their nearness to God and to His glory by the degree to which they regulate their conduct by this duty.—Charles Sumner. If Christian Science succeeds in making us believe there is no such thing as pain, it will rob a lot of people of the pleasure they take in being miserable. Working in a bank and working the bank are two different things. When I was a kid, a kid's wish was to see the schoolhouse burn down. Nowadays it is the wish of kids to see the schoolteachers keep on resigning. Gene Debs being behind a number of of the crossing wires by an approaching en his or her gate should slow down estrain to continue sounding of horns.

Just because there are 23 musicians in the Anaheim Elks Band does not mean it is a "23-skidoo" organization; on the contrary, it is an AI aggregation. Like in the personal courting field, the same is in the national political courting field—a third party is not wanted. It takes the soft-drink business to bring in the hard cash. Harding asks the question: "Is the democratic ticket STILL for Article X?" If the ticket desires to win it must do something more than be still about it. A well-known preacher in Los Angeles announced that he would deliver an address on "When Will the World Come to an End?" Two days previous to the date of answering his own question, Los Angeles was shocked by several earthquake tremblors. Some people may have thought that there was "more truth than poetry" in his announcement. Others may have thought he was in league with "the man behind the scenes," the man behind setting off the "fireworks" ahead of schedule time. When one hears the clicking of a typewriter across noisy Los Angeles street, one might think oil is on a shortage spree. You can't judge by a man's fast life that he is getting the most out of life. Lots of people borrow trouble with the intention of returning it with interest. A fire in San Diego, in which two men lost their lives, is said to have been caused by a cigarette stub in a waste paper basket. It's time the cigarette fiend was getting a jolt. Doesn't it sound funny to again see the name of Roosevelt in the political news? Will the "psychology of a name" "pull him through"? The world must be coming to an end. A citizen of Anaheim refrained two weeks from going after his pay check stating that he didn't need it. Working in a bank and working the bank are two different things. When I was a kid, a kid's wish was to see the schoolhouse burn down. Nowadays it is the wish of kids to see the schoolteachers keep on resigning. Gene Debs being behind a number of bars ought to be a good candidate for the wets. Many a screen version of a play might as well be a stonewall version when it comes to seeing through them. An advertisement reads: "Light lunches at Fairyland Inn." Heavy lunches at a Fairy land inn would be inappropriate in such a country. Some people use the alleys as a street thinking they won't be seen. It's like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. Oil wells are now being christened. The next thing we will be doing, when we buy a new Lizzey, will be to ceremonize it. "O tempora! O mores!" ETIQUETTE OF AUTOMOBILE DRIVING When one becomes a lord of the automobile a sort of chemicalization takes place in the relationship of the lord to other people. Persons who drive automobiles seem to have a mind that they are the only dust on the street. Notice an automobilist when he or SHE approaches a crossing. Notice how inconsiderate they are. For instance, automobilists don't seem to have a consideration for a mother and her brood. Time and time again I have seen a mother and children scared into hysterics because an automobilist did not have consideration enough for the feelings of a mother to slow down and permit the over-burdened-with-children-care mother time enough to make the crossing without frightening the life out of her. Even should she be able to "move on" faster, common courtesy would suggest that a deviation from the mad struggle to get across be given a mother. And the irony of it all is that these autoists right of way. If both autoists mutually carry out an err traffic under annoyances of cars will be reduced. On the part of pecially should try to women and children I have seen an decidedly inhumane baby buggies. screech their hoops would not slow or suit being a dearly handicapped child. As yet automated a code of elemental change mind of a person of the automobile. A woman lives zealously cultivates sand by the houses parked in it the fruits of many outofists even move to the house. Out and remonish loads of autos in her face, come if the earth was crazy gas tankion of the work of an autoist, and It is COMMON cease from grazing will observe sympathy going on about will see that the people are ent evil if they do about the count. The automobile parts of our busy trying to m a license to run not mean a licious laws, let alo decency. A secret service in Los Angeles who persist in p has stopped. In small city traffic officer ontoists just make a crossing Stand at any minutes. Notice autoists have for Notice how some horns almost a Doesn't it sound funny to again see the name of Roosevelt in the political news? Will the "psychology of a name" "pull him through"? The world must be coming to an end. A citizen of Anaheim refrained two weeks from going after his pay check, stating that he didn't need it. What's going to happen to h. c., somebody has no use for money? It reminds me of the Bible quotation: "He that wish, it shall be given unto; he that hath not, it shall taken away." And this in money-mad Anaheim! It is reported that a woman in San Francisco married the man that was prosecuting her in a law struggle. This looks like a literal obeying of Christ's command to love your enemies. And this in San Francisco, too, after the democratic convention. The man came from Palo Alto and mingled in a Venice crowd and then dropped dead may have done the latter because of "O tempora! O mores!" The editor of The Pacific Printer and Publisher says: "Think of the other fellow as your contemporary, not as your competitor." That's a good way, isn't it? I think so! The line of autos each morning at the filling stations recalls winter scenes back east when vehicles would be stalled on account of the snow-obstructed streets. You hear some people say: "Anaheim is good enough for ME." Let's make it good enough for the other fellow by eliminating the "sore" spots scared into hysteria because an automobilist did not have consideration enough for the feelings of a mother to slow down and permit the over-burdened-with-children-care mother time enough to make the crossing without frightening the life out of her. Even should she be able to "move on" faster, common courtesy would suggest that a deviation from the mad struggle to get across be given a mother. And the irony of it all is that these autoists give the "ha ha" to the already-humiliated mother, and aged people. Often, often, and more often, an automobilist will sound his agonizing horn half way down the block. Those that don't do it half way down the block wait until they are on top of you, and then screetch at you with their develish horns. Here we have the two extremes. One class sounds the horn too soon, the other too late. There ought to be some kind of an understanding between the pedestrain and the automobilist. The automobilist is conducting, and has conducted, himself as one who has the sole right to the highways. The meek pedestrain has, and is now, humbly allowing the tyrant of the street to hold the assumed dominion. It has always been an acknowledged theory in law that the pedestrain has the right of way. In case of doubt, conflict, confusion, or question, the pedestrain is entitled to the right of way. But the way autoists approach crossings one would think a person on foot has no right to exist. It seems to me a code of understanding is now due between the two classes. A pedestrain leaving the right hand side of a street, who obtains the crossing, by a normal walk, before an automobile obtains it, should retain his or her position to continue on the rest TWO MORE BETTER FOR ANAHEIM A bus line to Anaheim is a nice place do not objectior town prince from" same is dena is a good town thriving, other side of Anaheim has always had connection with as the times p has maintained land city, became fortunate in his system that goes and from the times permitted. Other cities can be mentioned. If one will take these cities, it venient and methods connect has been a pa Anaheim is ANAHEIM GAZETTE of the crossing without being forced by an approaching automobile to quicken his or her gait; the automobilist should slow down and permit the pedestrain to continue without unduly sounding of horn. In other words, it should be the rule for the autoist to look out for persons approaching on his right, give them the right of way, if they have reasonably gained it, without causing the pedestrain any unnecessary apprehension by any further speeding or horn sounding; pedestrains coming from the left hand side of a street, approaching the left hand side of an automobile should look out for the automobile and give it the right of way, in most cases. It should be borne in mind the pedestrain always has the right of way. But, to facilitate matters, fifty-fifty ought to be agreeable to the lord of the highways. This rule of the autoist or person approaching on your right is simple. In nearing a crossing, all an autoist need to do in the main, is to look out for those persons on foot who are coming toward his right; the walkers on his left, in turn, will look out for him. The person who is crossing on foot should only put the most of his attention* to the automobile approaching on his right, permitting it reasonable right of way. If both autoists and pedestrains will mutually carry out this necessary modern traffic understanding, much of the annoyances of crossing a busy street will be reduced. On the part of the automobilist especially should this be a rule in regard to women and children. I have seen autoists who have been decidedly inhuman to woman pushing baby buggies. These autoists would approach their own outrageously and south all right enough as far as the bus service is concerned. In order that the many thousands of persons in the Anaheim territory who are not YET owners of automobiles may be able to get some happiness, pleasure and joy out of living in the Anaheim territory, a direct, convenient, quick, scheduled bus line FROM Anaheim to a beach point would contribute much to the welfare of these people. I know this is an automobile town. But, until the thousands who have not automobiles get automobiles, they ought to be considered in the scheme of things. What particular beach point doesn't matter. Any one will do. My idea is a bus line starting from NO other place BUT Anaheim, and going no further than A beach point. A short, quick, direct line at frequent intervals from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in BOTH directions. You see, the idea is to dispel that isolation fever one gets living here in the summer time. People don't care so much living in beach towns, providing living in an interior town they have easy and frequent means of access to the seashore. I know there is now a bus line that PASSES through Anaheim which goes to the beaches. But, that doesn't give Anaheim the psychological advantage of being the starting point. Many people would be attracted to live in Anaheim if they knew that it was "as easy as pie" to get to the ocean and back when they were ready, and as often as they wanted to. Before coming to Anaheim, while in Los Angeles, an opinion prevailed with many people with whom I inquired about Anaheim, that this burg was isolated.

On the part of the automobilist especially should this be a rule in regard to women and children. I have seen autoists who have been decidedly inhuman to woman pushing baby buggies. These autoists would screech their horns outrageously and would not slow down one lota, the result being a demoralized pedestrain, already handicapped with cares of children. As yet automobiling has not developed a code of chivalry. A certain elemental change takes place in the mind of a person when he grabs hold of the automobile steering wheel. A woman living in Balboa Beach zealously cultivated a "garden" in the sand by the house. One Sunday two cars parked in her garden, destroying the fruits of months of labor. These outoists even moved property accessory to the house. The lady finally came out and remonstrated. The two carloads of autoists arrogantly laughed in her face, conducting themselves as if the earth was made just for the crazy gas tank. This is an illustration of the working out of the mind of an autist, and is NOT a rare case. It is COMMON. Anyone who will cease from gratifying the senses and will observe sympathically the things going on about them when they travel will see that this is common. Other people are entitled to some rights, even if they don't CHOOSE to jazz about the country in a noise wagon. The automobile clubs and traffic departments of cities are exceedingly busy trying to make people realize that a license to run an automobile does not mean a license to violate legislative laws, let alone the laws of common decency. A secret service has been instituted in Los Angeles to catch these fiends who persist in passing a street car that has stopped. In small cities where there is no traffic officer on duty, these crazy autoists just make persons trying to make a crossing hop, skip and jump it. Stand at any busy corner for ten minutes. Notice the utter disregard autoists have for the persons on foot. Notice how some will yell at you with horns almost at the next corner right of way. Many people would be attracted to live in Anaheim if they knew that it was "as easy as pie" to get to the ocean and back when they were ready, and as often as they wanted to. Before coming to Anaheim, while in Los Angeles, an opinion prevailed with many people with whom I inquired about Anaheim, that this burg was isolated. This idea of a bus line to the beach is to eliminate Anaheim from being "a way station." Let Anaheim now rise and be a terminus; the starting place of a journey and the ending place of a journey. A bus line to the nearest beach town to serve this territory is an urgent need. Going south through Santa Ana is not just quite the "dope." What is needed is a line DIRECT west, in as straight a line as can be had. THEN, if the people want to go up OR down the coast by transportation facilities there available, they would be in a position to do so, according to their pleasure. Another bus line embodying all the factors and features of the foregoing is a line direct, straight to the county park FROM Anaheim and back again. Let's make Anaheim the CENTER of things. A SWIMMING POOL FOR ANAHEIM There is talk in Fullerton of building a swimming pool for young people. Good! Every town in the interior ought to have one. Many towns do have one. Anaheim has not yet a park. If, instead of building a downtown park, it will construct a CITY-EDGE park with a swimming pool and a band concert ampitheater in it. Anaheim will then be doing something of a public, civic nature that will be worth while. A downtown park is simply a waste of money. Let's have a CITY-EDGE park with a swimming pool and ampitheater in it. MAKING ANAHEIM THE HUB OF ORANGE COUNTY A popular "stunt" of communities to make themselves popular is to advertise, in the various methods open to the idea, the distances to other points. As yet, no such method has been thrust upon me by any Anaheim booster. I suggest that the business cards of the merchants have on the Anaheim the psychological advantage of being the starting point. Those who remember Yorba Linda section of ten years ago feel as though they were living through a portion of the Arabian Knights as they watch the development of this section Ten years ago a barley field—six years ago a thriving citrus section with orchards just coming into bearing and trees of golden fruit replacing seared fields of barly stalks. That seemed miraculous enough but the old-time residents of today are watching the phenomenal growth that has hardly been equalled anywhere else within the northern confines of the county. The well rigs seem to spring up over night and it is unwise to leave home for a few days as the horizon changes so quickly one might have to be directed to one's home after a few days' absence. Ten years ago a barley field patch was sparsely settled by Couley Brooks, J. M. Quigley, Ross Knight and Joe Buckmaster, supporting one small grocery store and a one-roomed schoolhouse. Now we have a splendid little town of over two hundred residences with a backing of splendid citrus and oil districts that supports three grocery stores, a drug store, a men's furnishing and shoe store, a restaurant, a hardware store and lumber yard and that points with pride to its civic accomplishments of a splendid seven-room school and a fine public library, as well as the nucleus of a fine park. Since the advent of the oil industry, Yorba Linda has absolutely exhausted her facilities for housing the new concerns. There are not available today more than one or two building lots in the residential sections of the town. Every day people are turned away from the town because of the lack of accommodations. It will be necessary for outside capital to step in and open up several sub-divisions before Yorba Linda can begin to care for those seeking entrance to her gates. In the past six months eighteen new wells have been started within a radius of half mile of the center of town. Yorba Linda has had a wonderful career in the past ten years and now with wealth welling its way out of the earth only a man of wondrous wisdom can predict what the next ten years may bring forth. IN small cities where there is no traffic officer on duty, these crazy autoists just make persons trying to make a crossing hop, skip and jump it. Stand at any busy corner for ten minutes. Notice the utter disregard autoists have for the persons on foot. Notice how some will yell at you with horns almost at the next corner below. Notice how some will wait until their fender almost touches you, then sound their agonizing alarm. It isn't right. A fifty-fifty consideration at crossings should be the rule—both the riders and the walkers giving the parties approaching on the right the right of way. TWO MORE BUS LINES FOR ANAHEIM A bus line to a beach town FROM Anaheim is a need for this city. People do not object to living in an interior town providing "going to and from" same is an easy matter. Pasadena is a good example of an interior town thriving, in spite of being on the other side of Los Angeles. Pasadena has always had as good a means of connection with the "outside world" as the times permitted. Los Angeles has maintained its position as an inland city, because it has been fortunate in having a transportation system that got the inhabitants to and from the ocean as good as the times permitted. Other cities in Southern California can be mentioned as examples, also. If one will analyze the growth of these cities, it will be found that convenient and quick transportation methods connecting the outside world has been a paramount factor. Anaheim is connected north and MAKING ANAHEIM THE HUB OF ORANGE COUNTY A popular "stunt" of communities to make themselves popular is to advertise, in the various methods open to the idea, the distances to other points. As yet, no such method has been thrust upon me by any Anaheim booster. I suggest that the business cards of the merchants have on the back thereof a list of various points of interest and their distances FROM Anaheim, so as to psychologize Anaheim as the "HUB" of "doings" hereabouts. SHOULD A CITY GOVERNMENT TOLERATE FAKE SALES? A list of businesses and proposed license fee for each have recently been published in all the papers of Anaheim. One of the items reads: "Sheriff's sales (except bona-fide)." Notice, it says "except." Must take this language to mean that the city government of Anaheim permits fake "Sheriff's Sales" to be perpetuated upon the unsophisticated citizens of the town. If so, I think it is poor business for any city government to connive with any fake business to fleece the public. MORE ADVERTISING NEEDED When the name of the president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is printed in an Anaheim (not some other town) DAILY paper as Harry C. Riley when it ought to have been Harry D. Riley, it seems to me it takes an awful lot of advertising to make things known to people who are themselves dealers of advertising. It is a case where Harry SEE Riley about it. ORANGE COUNTY IRRIGATION The director of the census announces, subject to correction, the following preliminary figures for irrigation in Orange county: Acreage to be irrigated by works either completed or under construction—109,341 acres, an increase in ten years of 37,897, or 53 per cent. Acreage to which existing works are capable of supply water—98,740, an increase in ten years of 35,254 acres, or 55 per cent. Acreage irrigated—86,060, increase of 31,004, or 56 per cent. Acreage available for settlement, to be supplied with water by works either completed or under construction—4,236. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets. Sunday service at 11 a.m. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. A meeting Wednesday at 7:45 p.m., at which testimonials of healing are given. Free reading room in the First National Bank building, rooms 304 and 305; open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Sundays and legal holidays, where the Bible and authorized Christian Science literature may be read, borrowed or purchased if desired. The public is cordially welcome. Examinations Free The chiropractor's popularity is steadily growing. Why? Because of the phenomenal success to which he has attained in treating acute, as well as, supposedly incurable, chronic diseases. For the good of the profession and patients I will say that diplomas of any kind are easy to get for money, at some institutions. But state certificates cannot be obtained so easily. As to myself I possess three chiropractic diplomas, have taken a course of osteopathic technic, made diligent study of electrotherapy and hydrotherapy. Have a California state certificate and am registered in Orange county, and have practiced in Anaheim for the last two and a half years, and previously in Los Angeles. Dr. G. A. Neth Suite 4.
