PAIR OF VAGRANTS CONFESS TO ROBBERY Admit They Looted Express Car on Santa Fe Grilled for more than an hour by District Attorney A. P. Nelson, deputy sheriffs and railroad detectives, Frank Becker and Joe Fatin of Chicago, serving thirty days in the county jail on vagrancy charges, confessed, according to the authorities, that they were guilty of robbing a Wells-Fargo express car between Chicago and Fullerton. With the alleged confession a story of hardships and privations was told the officers. The two men declared that they nearly starved before reaching Fullerton. One man said he was so hungry he chewed paper. They had nothing to eat for three days and three nights. Upon breaking into a trunk which was being shipped in the express car they found a private stock of liquor. This, they said quenched their thirst to some extent, but a glass of water would have been appreciated, they said. While Joe Fatin was being grilled in the district attorney's office Beckler was endeavoring to answer or evade a volley of questions being put to him in the sheriff's office. Bit by bit the two men unfolded their story. Fatin, the authorities say, now accuses Beckler of being a squealer." Using an axe which they found enclosed in a glass case inside the car the two men broke into several packages. They made two bundles of fourteen silk dresses and threw them out of the car between Prado and River-side county, and Gypsum, Orange county, expecting to get the bundles later. 103 ACTS IN BARNES SHOW No Other Show On the Road Offers Such a Wide Range Of Entertainment Just as the ponderous, pea-eyed, palm-eared pachyderm towers above the miserable, morbid, and melancholy mouse, does the Al G Barnes Big 4-Ring Wild Animal Cirus overtops all other tented aggregations. In the steel-barred cages of the Barnes show are to be found the greatest collection of wild animals ever gathered on group. Even opposition circus men reluctantly admit it. Animals, like figures, can't lie, and all may be counted. It is the boast of Al G. Barnes that under the canvas of his big 4-Ring show may be seen the finest and best examples of jungle, plain and desert life. Each in his way is a perfect specimen. In all, 103 animal acts are presented. Years have been spent in making the collection unique, novel, and extraordinary. Patrons of previous years have been lavish in their praise not only of the animals as exhibited, but in the remarkable prowess of the Barnes trainers, for each has in his way, achieved the hitherto impossible. But the merit of the past is naught compared with the supremacy of the present. Scarcity and prohibitive prices have prevented circus owners generally from increasing their collections. But not the Al G Barnes Big 4-Ring Wild Animal Cirus. Throughout the winter, while the big show was in its Southern California winter quarters, agents of Owner Barnes have scoured Europe and Asia for newer and finer specimens of forest and jungle beast. Even now the great managerie is not com- Using an axe which they found enclosed in a glass case inside the car the two men broke into several packages. They made two bundles of fourteen silk dresses and threw them out of the car between Prado and Riverside county, and Gypsum, Orange county, expecting to get the bundles later. They got out of the car at Fullerton with their pockets filled with silk stockings. Becker is said to have admitted that they sold the stockings at Fullerton and bought food with the money. One of the pair also had a rubber heel tacked on one of his shoes at Fullerton, his original heel having been lost in getting into the car. According to Deputy Sheriff Chas. Holbrook, Frank Becker admits that he, his companion Joe Fatin, James O'Malley and Ed Reiter all of Chicago, were arrested under similar circumstances a year ago at Albuquerque, N.M. He said that all four were tried by a jury in the federal court at that place. On the first trial the jury disagreed and on the second trial they were acquitted. The two suspects were grilled by District Attorney Nelson, Deputy Sheriff Charles Holbrook, Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr, Santa Fe special officers, Joe Murrillo and Fred Vomer, and Wells-Fargo Detectives Le Roy Crane. In addition to the rubber heel evidence against the two men the officers had a Chicago street railway transfer which they had found on one man. The train on which they traveled left Chicago on the night of Feb. 20 and the street railway transfer was dated three hours previous to the train's departure. On one of the men the officers found a paper of safety pins which they claim had been torn from a longer sheet in the express car. The seals on the express car were not broken. The two men are said to have admitted that they got in and out of the car through the ventilator on the roof. The two bundles of silks/which they threw out of the ventilator as the train passed between Jepson and Prado were recovered by railway detectives. Both bundles were found at the spot specified by the two men. District Attorney Nelson says he The seals on the express car were not broken.

District Attorney Nelson says he will draw up, before the expiration of their term for vagrancy, complaints charging the pair with robbing a railway express car. WHAT IS EFFICIENCY? Efficiency is doing things, not in wishing you could do them, dreaming about them, or wondering if you can do them. It is knowing how to apply theory to practice, turning defeat into experience and using it to achieve success. It is the ability to mass one's personality at any time or place and the elimination of weakness, regret, worry and fear. It is self-reliance, clothed with modesty, persistence, plus politeness and the hand of steel in the velvet glove. Efficiency is alertness, presence of mind, readiness to adjust one's self to the unexpected, impigning the ego against the combination of events—luck, fate, custom and prejudice—until they give way. It is purpose, practice, patience, the measure of a man, the real size of his soul, the ability to use one's passions, likes, dislikes, habits, experience, education, mind, body and heart and not to be used by these things. It is self-mastery, concentration, vision and common sense, and the sum total of all that is in man.

What are his assets? What is his business? What is his taxation? What are his assets? He owns $100,000 square miles of territory expanding by reason of nine purchases of real estate. What are his business? He owns a population swelling from 3,900,000 in the days of Washington to 110,000,000 in the days of Harding; or a national wealth increasing from $100,000,000 when Hamilton "smote the rock" and brought forth a gushing stream of national credit. When was he born? To John Adams: "I believe there is hardly another instance in the world of a people risquing their credit so much who unfortunately have so little," and who must by this procedure if continued soon have none at all;" and since John Adams in 1784, in the dead of winter, traveled from London to Amsterdam Holland, in a desperate effort to restore American credit which he wrote was "dead never to rise again."

HARDING NOT A DICTATOR ThePeopleoftheUnitedStateshave evidentlybecomesoaccustomedtoautocraticcontrolofthegovern- The tragic story of that perilous trip, the repeated refusals of loans first from the money lenders, then from the regency, and the final acceptance of a loan of one million guilders (about $400,000) at ruinous rates of interest, all guaranteed by France, is almost unbelievable now. The years between that desperate period and the present measure the possibilities of American courage and triumph of American independence. In 136 years, the United States has risen from the poorest to the richest of all nations—from the perils of the pawn shop to the authority of affluence. In 1919 the national wealth of the United States was eighty per cent greater than the wealth of Great Britain before the European War, and greater than the combined national wealth of Denmark, Germany, Italy, Austria, Turkey, Belgium, Roumania and Serbia in 1914. History affords no parallel to the marvelous success of the perilous adventure whose three hundredth anniversary was celebrated so recently. While Uncle Sam typifies the United States as a whole, he stands for a government—a political organization. The federal Constitution is the foundation and frame work of what is known as political America. It is the heart of the nation, beating the blood into its citizenship, protecting life and property and affording it an equal opportunity before the law. Uncle Sam as a political enemy or organization is a magnate, conducting the biggest and most important business in the World—the business of "forming a more perfect Union, establishing justice, insuring tranquility, providing for the common defence and securing the blessings of liberty." This requires a machinery increasing in size and growing in complicated parts. It requires money, energy, skill, brains—the best—and highest ability. With this side of Uncle Sam, comparatively few people are familiar. Yet this is the Uncle Sam who, in the last analysis, gives credit and standing to the whole national fabric makes or breaks the business world and revives or ruins the "man in the street," the private and corporate broad winners. What is Uncle Sam's property? By ship in them; but there is little to satisfy the inquirer as to what Uncle Sam's property is. Few people know how vast the federal government is, and how enormous its assets, real and personal. Government officials do not know exactly. The machinery operates from year to year, grows and expands annually, reaches out into the islands of the seas, touches the tropics and the arctics, and nobody seems to know just what the assets are. The vastness of the operations are not realized until the appropriations to keep the machine in operation are footed up, and the annual expenditures are assembled. In 1800 the ordinary expenses of the Federal Government were $10,-800,000. In 1900 they were $487,700,-000. In 1919, nearly two years after the war they were $15,365,000,000. In 1921 they will be $4,000,000,000 or $5,-000,000,000. In the face of these stupendous figures the property or the assets of Uncle Sam become a mighty important factor. No nation could stand such a gigantic expenditure of public funds unless backed by enormous assets. What is Uncle Sam's property? Nobody seems to know in Washington or elsewhere when the preparation of this article was begun. No official in the ten departments of the federal government, save one (the nevy) knew or could even give an approximate figure. In fact, it was confessed that no statement of Uncle Sam's assets and liabilities had ever been compiled. The national wealth is estimated every ten years; but that is not Uncle Sam's property or assets. His property is wholly apart from the private and corporate property which goes to make up the wealth of the nation. Primarily the government's credit is based on its own assets. True, these assets belong to the whole people as citizens and taxpayers; but no private citizen or corporation can touch Uncle Sam's property or assets. They belong to a political organization entirely separate and distinct from the citizenship of the country. What is Uncle Sam's property? Does any know? It consists of buildings, land, equipment, forts, guns, ships, canals, cash in the Treasury or Federal Reserve banks and notes and bills receivable. Obviously the biggest item in land and buildings is in the city of Washington. Here the government owns 80 public buildings or groups of study or these many ramifications of federal business reveals their gigantic size and their tremendous extent, in real and personal property. They contribute to the sum total of Uncle Sam's property and measure Uncle Sam's credit. HARDING NOT A DICTATOR The People of the United States have evidently become so accustomed to autocratic control of the government and of political parties that they cannot conceive of any other procedure even under a new administration." remarks the Republican Association in a statement given out today through President of that organization, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "One of these has recently written for his paper a speculative article indicating the opinion that President Harding will name a new chairman for the Republican National Committee upon the appointment of the present chairman to a position in the cabinet, designating a Senator for the chairmanship. The suggestion is not at all complimentary to Mr. Harding—in fact it is a broad hint at insincerity in his campaign utterances. In the opening paragraphs of his speech of acceptance, Mr. Harding said: "Let me be understood clearly from the beginning. I believe in party sponsorship in government. I believe in party government as distinguished from personal government, individual dictatorial, autocratic or what not—No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such dominion (was never intended). Tranquility, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rendered in the cataclysmal war." "The Republican National Committee is composed of 53 members, chosen by the forty-eight states and five districts or dependencies. When a change takes place in the chairmanship of the committee, the members will go through the form of electing. If that be a form only, with the real selection made by an individual, then there would be established in the party organization, a personal government, 'individual dictatorial,' autocratic." To assume or assert that Mr. Harding would undertake to designate a man to be chairman is not only to question the sincerity of his campaign utterances but to reflect upon the ability of the members of the committee. It requires money, energy, skill, brains—the best and highest ability. With this side of Uncle Sam, comparatively few people are familiar. Yet this is the Uncle Sam who, in the last analysis, gives credit and standing to the whole national fabric makes or breaks the business world and revives or ruins the "man in the street," the private and corporate bread winners. What is Uncle Sam's property? By Uncle Sam is meant the government of the United States—the people's public property, real and personal used in the conduct of Uncle Sam's business, so vital to the business of all. What are Uncle Sam's assets? It is well known that the public debt, that is the debt of Uncle Sam, of the United States government, is about $22,000,000. This is the money borrowed from the people by Uncle Sam, that is by his representatives elected and appointed to run the government. There are not a few who seem to think that Uncle Sam, the government, in some magical way, can create wealth and make riches by a mere "flat or act of Congress." But Uncle Sam must tax the people or borrow from the people, in order to raise every dollar required to operate the business known as the federal government machine. The political organizations known as the federal government operates under the same laws that govern all other business institutions. It must raise enough money by taxes to pay all operating expenses, or borrow to make up the deficit. Borrowing is difficult or easy, rates of interest are high or low, according to the relation of the assets to the liabilities—precisely as in the case of an individual or corporation. Hence the matter of long to a political organization entirely separate and distinct from the citizenship of the country. What is Uncle Sam's property? Does any know? It consists of buildings, land, equipment, forts, guns, sh'ps, canals, cash in the Treasury or Federal Reserve banks and notes and bills receivable. Obviously the biggest item in land and buildings is in the city of Washington. Here the government owns 80 public buildings or groups of buildings erected on public land. This is Uncle Sam's largest nest egg. Roughly speaking the public land in the city of Washington is estimated to be worth approximately $30,000,000. According to the official figures as furnished by the Secretary of the public building commission, in Washington, the 80 government buildings and group of buildings cost approximately $112,700,000. For public purposes their value has not depreciated—in fact some of the newer structures could not be duplicated for twice the money. At the risk of burdening the reader the cost of the buildings in groups is here given: Agriculture Buildings ... $2,008,408 Capitol and 2 buildings ... 33,936,652 Commerce 3 bldgs. ... 1,537,034 Library of Commerce ... 7,179,454 Court of Claims ... 300,000 Gov't Printing Office ... 2,697,000 Int.

The same fundamental principles which apply to one apply equally to the other. In his farewell address to the Senate, on the opening day of the present session, Mr. Harding said: 'When my responsibilities begin in the executive capacity I shall be as mindful of the Senate's responsibilities as I have been jealous for them as a member, but I mean at the same time to be just as insistent upon the responsibilities of the executive.' "Some newspaper correspondents have seen fit to remark that, as President, Mr. Harding may be embarrassed by the deficit incurred by the National Committee in the recent campaign. For such embarrassment there can be no occasion whatever. The Republican National Committee perfected its own organization, managed its part of the campaign, collected funds and controlled expenditures. Responsibility for the expenditures rests solely with the committee and need embarrass no one else. If Mr. Harding had selected the chairman or the executive committee, or had ret himself up as a personal 'individual,' dictatorial, autocratic director," responsibility would, of course, be his. "Mr. Harding's whole course has been consistent with his declaration in support of 'restoration of representative popular government.' As no man is big enough to run this republic, so no man is big enough to run the Republican party. There is nothing in his utterances or in his acts to justify the assumption that he will attempt to do either. Those who endeavor to place him in a false light before the country as either a party dictator or as responsible for party deficits are engaged in a despicable propaganda which will meet the public rebuke it deserves." GIRLS' DRESS AGAIN The Ohio Service Star Legion is considering a plan for a national movement toward dress reform for school girls. It wants to place a ban upon too short skirts, rouge, lip sticks, low-necked waists of thin materials, bobbed hair, jewelry and high-heeled shoes. It will advocate the middy blouse and dark skirt, low heeled shoes, simple hairdressing and an absence of jewelry save for a watch and class pin. Two motives are back of the movement, the cultivation of better standards for girl's dress and the establishment of fashions which will lift from the mother's shoulders the burden of toll and sacrifice too frequently entailed when the young girl of moderate means tries to keep pace in dress with her more affluent associates. In sponsoring these ideas the Service Star Legion is falling into line with a well defined movement. SUIT OVER ROAD Pointing out that the coast road between Seal Beach and Anaheim Landing has been recognized as a county highway for more than six years, District Attorney, A. P. Nelson, acting attorney for the county of Orange, today filed an answer to the suit brought against the county in January by the Ord Land Company of Seal Beach to quiet title to the property. The plaintiff company asserts that the county claims title to the 60-foot strip of roadway by virtue of a resolution passed by the board of supervisors on April 14, 1914, this resolution having declared the property to be a county road. The Ord Company further asserts that on December 7, 1920 it asked the board of supervisors to abandon the strip as a country road and that their request was denied. In his answer District Attorney Nelson denies that the Ord Land Company was the owner of the property prior to April 14, 1914. The land at that time, he says, was known as "desert land" and under control of the federal government. He holds that an act of congress made the land available for county highways. The county's answer asks that the court declare the strip a county highway and set aside any claim to the property that may be presented by the Ord Land Company.
