THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM APPROACHES ITS ZENITH "Pence hath h errictories no less renowned than war," quoth Milton more than three centuries ago. McLaughlin, in his 'History of the American Nation,' speaking of the period immediately following the war of 1812, says "When the war was over, America turned her attention to the tasks of progress and of peace." American historians of the present day find many parallels in the periods 1814-1920 and 1805-1816. Wilson, like Jefferson, preached democracy and practiced autocracy. Wilson, like Jefferson, was confronted with a situation where "an American ship might refuse to be searched and in consequence be blown out of the water." Efforts were made in 1806 to bring England to terms by some means short of war, and Monroe and Pinkney negotiated a treaty in London which Jefferson refused to accept as satisfactory. "He ought either to have accepted it or to have prepared for war he did neither." A similar situation fronted Wilson with respect to Germany, and he followed Jefferson's example. Wilson, like Madison, at length "timidly and reluctantly yielded" and "thus there fell upon his shoulders the unwelcome, ill-fitting task of lead in war." In 1816 James Monroe was chosen president by an overwhelming vote, and four years later he was re-elected with only one electoral vote against him. The eight years under Monroe's administration were commonly called "the era of good feeling." The "era of good feeling" from 18y6 to 1824 was national. An era of good feeling from 1921 to 1929, under Harding, bids fair to become international. The conference at Washington is achieving results looking toward peace far beyond the dreams of the president who initiated it and of the ships and fortresses. The C. B. Berger company has sold twenty-four acres for the Jotham Bixby company, of Long Beach, to Glenn Mitchell, of Los Angeles. The property is situated southeast of Anaheim and is a part of what is known as Cerro Villa Heights, the large citrus sub-division for which the Berger company are general sales agents. Mr. Mitchell is connected with the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company in Los Angeles and it was while visiting with friends on their orange grove near Villa Park that he and his family became interested in locating in this section. The property has a high and sightly building site and the Mitchells plan on improving it and making it their home, in the near future. Orange county council of the American Legion held its monthly meeting at Huntington Beach Monday night, following which members visited the post of the city. Council members present were Dr. Elliott H. Rowland, M. B. Hellington and Clyde Whitney, Santa Ana, and W. P. Webb and Arthur Shipkey, of Anaheim. The stormy weather was responsible for other members falling to report for the meeting. New farm and home aid regulations, as prepared by the legion bureau, was discussed. The Huntington Beach post recently elected new officers and it is said that there is great activity in the organization now, with prospects of it becoming a strong organization. Chris Nelson, of Wintersburg, was given judgment by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams, in his suit to cancel an oil lease on his sixty acres of land. Title to the property had been quieted to Nelson, also, as a result of the trial. Louis Whealton, J. M. Barnum, Dee Graham and other defendants figured in the suit, which was decided after the court had denied a motion by Clara W.

An era of good feeling from 1921 to 1929, under Harding, bids fair to become international. The conference at Washington is achieving results looking toward peace far beyond the dreams of the president who initiated it and of the able and farseeing American delegates who were appointed and have been given the widest opportunity to participate in it. It was truly predicted that the conference would center on Pacific problems and their solution. If there is any outside of war, it is to be found in the proposed four-power treaty, the basis of which is understanding, while the basis of the league covenant was force. Certainly it can be said that reflexes of the "get-together" attitude of the delegates to the Washington conference are already displaying themselves in other portions of the globe. The Anglo-Hibernian treaty which gives promise of culminating in the Irish free state is a case in point. If the English and the Irish are able to harmonize their difficulties there will no longer be good ground for the bitter feeling exhibited toward England by Americans of Irish decent. The overtures being made by Chile to Peru to end by peaceful means the 38-year old statemate known as the Tacna?Arica dispute is another example. The text of Chile's recent note proposes that the long delayed plebiscite in that territory be expedited so as to do away with the necessity for maintenance of excessive military establishments. Turning to economic questions it will be found that almost everywhere there is a change for the better, marked in some countries, slower in others, but generally perceptible. The Washington conference is creating world-wide return of confidence. The nations of the earth are encouraged by the belief that the vast sums herefore devoted to the upkeep of non-productive armament and men, are, in goodly portion, at least, to be turned to productive account for the benefit of humanity. This is a glorious season. Not since the birth of Him whose nativity we celebrate December 25th could the world have said with such fervor and faith as we now possess "Peace on earth good will toward men." Chris Nelson, of Wintersburg, was given judgment by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams, in his suit to cancel an oil lease on his sixty acres of land. Title to the property had been quieted to Nelson, also, as a result of the trial. Louis Whealton, J. M. Barnum, Dee Graham and other defendants figured in the suit, which was decided after the court had denied a motion by counsel for the defense for continuing the trial to a later date. The motion was based on the grounds that Dee Graham, one of the defendants, was ill. Nelson claimed that the oil lease was not fulfilled because the lessees had used a water well drilling rig and had operated only seven days going to a depth of thirty feet, then removing their rig. Attorneys A. W. Rutan and G. K. Scovel, of the firm of Head and Rutan, represented Nelson. At the weekly meeting of the newly-organized real estate board, held here Monday night, business matters were discussed and plans were completed for the proper functioning of the board. A communication from C. C. Tatum, of Los Angeles, was read by President J. S. Howard. This touched upon the details for the plans of the organization of local, state and national realty boards. The board unanimously decided to adopt the Los Angeles reality board's rate of commission. If state and national boards are joined the dues will be $25 a year. Uniform listings were discussed and a committee was appointed to work out these details and file a report with the board. This committee is composed of Romaine Berger, James Stewart and B. H. Sidnam. A special meeting of the board will be held on Thursday following Christmas and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. in the Chamber of Commerce building.

Stone, of Brea, charged with accepting a $100 bribe, was still in retirement Tuesday and the case against Stone, already delayed once by Chavez, was dropped. When Stone and his attorneys, Ames and McFadden, appeared before Justice J. B. Cox for Stone's preliminary hearing at 10 a.m., Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley moved that the charge be dismissed, all efforts to find Chavez having failed. It is understood that Chavez has gone across the border into Mexico, having fled precipitately from his home in Placentia when the preliminary court hearing, originally set for December 27, was set ahead on Stone's request to December 14. On the latter date, when Chavez could not be found, the hearing was continued until Tuesday in order to give time for a thorough search for the witness. Stone was arrested. December 1, after charges had been laid before the Brea city council to the effect that he had accepted from Chavez the alleged $100 bribe on not to impress alleged booty operations.

Cohen, Prop. 223 W. Center St. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Answering the damage suit of Mrs. Clara W. Gibbs, of Anaheim, who demands $500 for what she declared was her forecible ejection from rooms owned by Mrs. Clara L. Smith and occupied by Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Smith Monday objected to the superior court granting judgment. Her answer, filed through her attorneys, Harold L. Kiggens and Ames and McFadden, stated that Mrs. Gibbs had been occupying the rooms as a guest, without paying rent, and did not have the status of a tenant. Mrs. Smith, in her reply, admitted that certain property had been closed, that a portion of it had been occupied by Mrs. Gibbs, but that she was not there as a renter and that she had been served with two notices to move. For several weeks past, residents of Garden Grove district have been giving earnest consideration to the formation of a sanitary district, connecting with the Santa Ana and Anaheim joint outfall system, the route of the line being extended directly through Garden Grove from Anaheim to the Pacific Electric tracks, providing the expense was not deemed too great. At a recent meeting of the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce, the matter was taken up, and a committee composed of J. G. Allen and J. M. Woodworth was appointed to investigate the feasibility of the project. Later the word was received by the mayor of Santa Ana in which he stated that proceedings in the joint outfall had gone too far to permit of Garden Grove coming in on the proposition, and such action would cause a serious delay in the proceedings. The committee was undaunted by this turn in events and have kept steadily at work on the project, as the community is deeply in earnest in securing sewerage facilities, and the plan has received the unanimous endorsement of the chamber of commerce. A new bus of the Crown stage line was damaged, and the driver and several passengers were shaken up when it crashed into the rear of a Boulevard Express truck, near Buena Park. Driver Lurch, of the stage bus, claims that the truck, without rear light, was left standing in the middle of the road and that in the fog he was unable to see it in time to avoid the collision. He did, however, he said, succeed in changing the direction of the passenger car so that a head on contact was avoided. The right front wheel and fender of the Crown machine struck the rear of the truck and caused the body of the former to telescope. None of the passengers were injured beyond a few bruises and a severe shaking up. Stressing the necessity for honesty on the part of business men and stating that the Kiwanis organizations were primarily responsible for the improvement in business ethics, Bishop Bertrand F. Stephens, of the Episcopal church, Los Angeles, addressed a joint meeting of the Fullerton and Anaheim Kiwanis clubs at the cafeteria of the Anaheim union high school at noon Tuesday. Bishop Stevens' address was in a happy vein, and awoke a responsive chord in the hearts of his hearers. Malcolm Fraser, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, outlined plans as so far developed for the Valencia orange show, to be held at Anaheim next spring.
