Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 BIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER SERVICE MEN FOR MOORE Repudiation of the early-campaign boast that "the soldier vote" would be cast solidly for Johnson', and "Hiram is the veterans friend," has been made by Barney Goss, ex-soldier, and ardent worker in behalf of former service men. Mr. Goss returned to Los Angeles after accompanying Charles C. Moore on his recent tour of southern California, and rendered an interesting and enlightening account of the way this favorite senatorial candidate is being received, and the reasons former soldiers find for giving him their support. Mr. Moore's record for practical patriotism is one that particularly appeals to former wearers of the uniform. During the war he was head of the state council of defense, and before that he stamped himself as a lover of his country, and one who would show this love at the sacrifices of material things, and with all the time and resources at his command. When the United States entered the war Mr. Moore gave an immediate order. "Employees of the Charles C. Moore company are hereby notified good proposition to hand such a large sum of the people's money over to a board of unknown men, not of their selection, to be spent on unknown and unspecified projects. The mutual water companies provide for irrigation of practically all of the land under cultivation in southern California. This letter will have a far-reaching effect in creating sentiments against the water and power act. Opponents of the measure are stressing the fact that it has no relationship whatsoever to the Boulder canyon dam undertaking. The federal government is to build the dam. It and the power act are separate and distinct. BOY SCOUT NEWS The second contingent of Scouts to go to the Orange county Scout camp, located in Barton Flats, left last Wednesday morning at 7:30 from d'fertint points in the county and met at 7:45 at Olive, where the caravan will proceed to camp. The second period promises to be one of the best periods yet held. The registration up to this time showed sixty-one registered for the second period. Anaheim boys who went were Jack Mattis, Dick Ensign, John Shea, Joseph Shea, Leland Washburn, Winton Smith, William Utter, Paul Sloop, Robert Jensen and James Fitzgibbons. Everett Berkey has registered from Buena Park. Boys from Huntington Beach who went to camp were Eugene Belshe, Charles Mills, Paul Walter, Ralph Clapp, Owen Peters, Jr., Harold Watson, Lorris Moomaw, H. A. Moomaw and Horace Cooley. Greame Smith and Everett Smith went frim Laguna Beach. Boys registered from Newport were Eric Prior, Charles Ehrhorn, Janvier Briscoe, Orlando Briscoe, Robert Reed, Reuben Longmore, Harvey Durkee, Royal Sanford, Harold Bucklee, and Larry Wilkins in the United States formia. During the vision surgeon vision, and w Mr. Moore gave an immediate order. "Employees of the Charles C. Moore company are hereby notified that when they enlist in the service of their country, the difference between the salary they are now receiving and the pay they will receive as a soldier, or wearer of our country's uniform in any capacity, will be made up to them each month. At the end of their period of service their jobs will be open to them, and at the salary they are now receiving." Mr. Moore further endeared himself to the returned soldiers. After the armistice jobs were scare, and "the going was tough" for the boys who but a short time before had been feteed and cheered. Mr. Moore stepped in and, with his wonderful organization ability, formed the first soldier replacement bureau to operate in the state—a bureau that helped hundreds of needy veterans to gain a fresh hold in civilian life. Many instances lauding Mr. Moore for his kindness to employees or acquaintances who returned from war in immediate need, and who received quick and substantial assistance from him, have been volunteered to Moore-for-Senator workers, and Mr. Goss predicts that instead of Johnson receiving the "solid soldier vote" or even a respectable proportion of it, Moore will be the almost unanimous choice of those who saw service in the world war and who will cast a California vote at the August election. OPPOSE WATER POWER ACT Mutual water companies of California have fired a broadside at the proposed $500,000,000 water and power act. In a letter to 15,000 members and stockholders of the California Mutual Water Companies' association the executive committee urges the defeat of the measure on the ground that it is discriminatory and a nenace to their interests. Headquarters of the organization are in Ontario. After stating that the act creates a board of five political appointees and grants uncontrolled power to this body, the letter reads: Everett Berkey has registered from Buena Park. Boys from Huntington Beach who went to camp were Eugene Belshe, Charles Mills, Paul Walter, Ralph Clapp, Owen Peters, Jr., Harold Watson, Lorris Moomaw, H. A. Moomaw and Horace Cooley. Greame Smith and Everett Smith went from Laguna Beach. Boys registered from Newport were Eric Prior, Charles Ehrhorn, Janvier Briscoe, Orlando Briscoe, Robert Reed, Reuben Longmore, Harvey Durkee, Royal Sanford, Harold Buckingham and Llewellyn Smith. Orange Scouts who were in the list were Norol Evans, Kenneth Ward, Ralph Watson, Hal Henderson and Raymond Glessener. Olinda Scouts who accompanied the bunch are Maynard Scribner and Jesse Scribner. Santa Ana boys who left with the crowd were Norman McClay, Jas Trew, Glenn Tramel, Frank Alderman, Virgil Reed, Ned Johnson, Ray Lancaster, Henry Powell, Kenneth Price, Ben Tarver, James Snow, Joseph Warner, Van Pomeroy, Keith Beisel, Oscar Hansen and Jack Warner. Yorba Linda had registered one Scout, Paul Burnison. Those staying in camp besides the camp director, Victor E. Teaney, are Cook Walter Chop, Quartermaster William Reed, Lester Moon, Marie Mowl, Sidney Kredel, Phillip Kredei and James Holland. Two cars from Huntington Beach, two cars from Anaheim, one car from Orange and eight cars from Santa Ana conveyed the boys to the camp. The cars arrived in camp at 12:30 in time for lunch.

Courtesy on slogan of the au it has been in tional activity After stating that the act creates a board of five political appointees and grants uncontrolled power to this body, the letter adds: "It would be possible for the board created by this act to take over all or any part of the water of a mutual water company and distribute it as it wished and make any charge for the water as it saw fit, and directing the operation from an office, in most cases, hundreds of miles from where the water is being used. The personal touch, the personal understanding that exists between officers and stockholders of mutual water companies, and is of such value in successful irrigation, would be lost and irrigation would be under bureaucratic control of the state, and such control has never proved efficient." "Those who started the movement for the water and power act, before they ask the people of the state to turn the water of the state over to them to play with, should first show where they have made a success in either the development or use of water, and before they come to you with a proposal to turn over to them the water you have developed and are successfully using and at a cost to you less than this politically appointed board can do, should convince you that they can do these things for you better than you can do them for yourselves." The question is asked of stockholders and members if they deem it a RUSSIA'S EMBARRASSMENT As usual with these European economic conferences, the Russian soviet delegates find the other delegates at The Hague want to talk about Russia's debts. What Russia would like to find is an economic conference where these painful economic questions are not present. IT'S A VERY BIG ISSUE Many years ago a prominent personage injected gaiety into a presidential campaign by declaring the tariff to be a local issue. A contemporary calls it domestic and national. Signor Ricci styles it international. Local, national, international! Page the canny guesser who says it's all three. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Mrs. L. writes: "I am convinced there is a difference in baking powder. I have been using any old powder for ten years but my cakes are 100 per cent better since I bought a can of Royal Baking Powder. I recommend it to any housewife who thinks she knows all about cake making with any kind of powder."

Charles W. Decker, noted surgeon who did valiant work in France during the world war, and who for years has been a personal friend and a supporter of Hiram Johnson, has endorsed the candidacy of Charles C. Moore for the Republican nomination for United States senator from California. During the war Dr. Decker was division surgeon of the Thirty-First division, and was commander of hospitals in the Argonne sector. He is a terests, they resent the proposal that American tariff legislation should be framed for the benefit of the American people and with a view to the promotion of prosperity at home rather than to the enrichment of alien producers and importers. The significance of those close relationship between habitual alien portsmanship and opposition to the policy of protection will not be lost sight of by the American people. Americans have grown weary of foreign propaganda, and are no longer inclined to listen to the preachments of public obligation, but the situation was most distressing. Billions of dollars were owed to Great Britain that she could not hope to collect, substantial receipts from German reparations were practically hopeless, the British people were taxed to the limit, and the economic conditions in the empire were strained beyond measure. Those British pleaders were careful to make no mention of the tremendous potential richness of the mandate territory acquired by their country, and of the financial relief afforded by the destruction of the German fleet, although it has been estimated by some that those and other results of the war have added or will add $100,000,000,000 to the British national wealth. It is to be hoped that the sentiments expressed by the London Times will find a response in the sound sense of the leaders of British thought. Great Britain has an opportunity that has never been presented before, and that probably will never come again... By merely acquowledging her debt to America, and setting about arranging for its payment without further ado, she can set an example of international morality that will add immeasurably to her prestige in Europe and her position in the rest of the world. The cultivation of close relations with the United States, which she declares is of so much concern to her, would be stimulated as by no other means. She would have at hand an effective argument with which to induce nations that owe her money to liquidate their indebtedness. British citizens could point with pride to their mother country as the leader of the old world in standards of common honesty. GOVERNMENTAL MACHINERY "Any kind of government depends upon the man." Col. Charles W. Decker, noted surgeon who did valiant work in France during the world war, and who for years has been a personal friend and a supporter of Hiram Johnson, has endorsed the candidacy of Charles C. Moore for the Republican nomination for United States senator from California. During the war Dr. Decker was division surgeon of the Thirty-First division, and was commander of hospitals in the Argonne sector. He is a member of Sunshine post of the American Legion, and is a decided favorite with former service men, both for his personal kindnesses and for his skill as a surgeon. Dr. Decker's statement is as follows: "While I recognize that our senior senator has done many good things in the past, I deeply regret the developments of the past eighteen months, and the stand he has taken on vital principles that we usually sum up in the term 'Americanism.' His recent record in Washington is one of constant obstruction of every plan advanced by the Republican administration for national betterment or international harmony." THE "ROAD HOGS" ARE MENACE TO MOTORISTS Road "hogs" are going to be very unwelcome on local highways this summer. Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California have received so many complaints from motorists in regard to the "hoggish" tendencies of a certain class of drivers on the roads of southern California during the summer months, that some action against such drivers is to be recommended. The "road hog" is said to be that type of driver who propels his car along the center of the highway at a slow pace and refuses to pull over to the right to let any vehicle pass him. Another type of "hog" is said by auto club officers to be one who passes a car at a rapid pace and then slows up suddenly in front of the car he has just passed. One type is as bad as another, say local authorities, and where accidents are caused by this kind of malicious practice the prosecution will be extremely severe. Courtesy on the roads is to be a slogan of the auto club this summer as it has been in the past, with the additional activity of instilling courtesy framed for the benefit of the American people and with a view to the promotion of prosperity at home rather than to the enrichment of alien producers and importers. The significance of those close relationship between habitual alien portsmanship and opposition to the policy of protection will not be lost sight of by the American people. Americans have grown weary of foreign propaganda, and are no longer inclined to listen to the preachments of publications which have as their motto: "America last." GOLDEN RULE BANNED The Golden Rule, placarded in Kansas, is not strike propaganda and therefore is not in violation of that state's industrial court law. This is the holding of the attorney general of that commonweathth. But should propaganda words be added to the Golden Rule, then displaying it would be illegal in Kansas, in all probability. It would be a blessed thing for Kansas and the nation if both parties to industrial disputes not only displayed the Golden Rule on placards, but if they practiced it in their relations with each other and in their attitude toward the public. If there were more Golden Rule in industry there would not be strike-provoking grievances in the first place. And if grievances did arise, if capital and labor were practicing the Golden Rule they would not precipitate strikes and lockouts. Display the Golden Rule—and live it, in industry, and the whole country and every class in it would be the better therefor. WISE BRITISH COUNSEL The London Times has taken the lead in urging Great Britain to proceed at once to pay her debt to the United States. In a leading editorial that paper advocates the issuance of bonds to the amount of the debt, and the setting of an example to the rest of the world by discarding all attempts at compromise with the United States. The American viewpoint is presented by the Times in a convincing way. It is shown that the money loaned to Europe during the war did not come out of great surpluses in the United States treasury, but was raised through the sale of bonds to the American people themselves, including the farmers of the west who have recently been the victims of distressing would have at hand an effective argument with which to induce nations that owe her money to liquidate their indebtedness. British citizens could point with pride to their mother country as the leader of the old world in standards of common hiness. GOVERNMENTAL MACHINERY "Any kind of government depends upon the man." So we hear often. But does it? Machinery is intended to dispense with the need of men. Machinery permits one man to do the work of a dozen men, and to do it better. And in a proper distribution of social benefits, the work of each man will be lightened by machinery, and the enjoyment of each be increased. So it is with government machinery. The government runs smoother, with handling by ordinary men, than it could without the machinery, with the handling of extra clever men. Even governmental machinery may be made approximately "tool proof." It is imperative for our democracy that our governmental machinery be improved much faster in proportion than the skill of our statesmen. We may be suffering today from a lack of skillful statesmen. But we are suffering even more from a lack of machinery for ordinary statesmen to work with. Men used to boast of their skill in adding columns of figures. And now we have adding machines that are much more skillful than any human mind. It takes only a modicuf of brains to run a adding machine. It too ka genius to qualify for a bank position before. Our population is increasing by arithmetical ration. And the human problems that this increasing population is presenting are increasing by geometrical ratio. It requires all the human skill that we can summon to the support of society to deal in a human way with the ne wproblems. We must one by one reduce the old problems to a condition to be dealt with by mechanical methods. There must be rules of procedure, laws, institutional habits, precedents. These are all parts of social machinery. There is a danger, of course, from having social or governmental machinery that gets rusty from lack of personal attention. But machinery we must have, and the better it is, ALIEN-AMERICANS ARE AGAINST PROTECTION It is a noteworthy fact that the some powerful group of metropolitan newspapers which supported the unexpurgated covenant of the league of nations, which has been advocating the cancellation of Europe's debt to the United States and which in every matter growing out of the war has taken sides against the United States, is now violently opposing the enactment of a protective tariff law. Naturally American newspapers which, whether because they are subsidized or because they are just naturally perverse, always discuss American problems from the viewpoint of alien interest, are against any tariff measure which would benefit the American people. Knowing as they do that the existing tariff law is resulting in the sacrifice of American for the benefit of foreign industrial ing of an example to the rest of the world by discarding all attempts at compromise with the United States. The American viewpoint is presented by the Times in a convincing way. It is shown that the money loaned to Europe during the war did not come out of great surpluses in the United States treasury, but was raised through the sale of bonds to the American people themselves, including the farmers of the west who have recently been the victims of distressing financial reverses. The British people are urged to get away from the idea that Wall street is the whole Unitee States. While the sentiment of some of the international bankers of New York is undoubtedly in favor of the omission of a part or all of the loans, the Times points out that there is a vast country and many millions of people west of New York who do not take kindly to the suggestion that they shoulder the debts rightfully owed by Europe. It is recommended that the debts be treated in a business-like way, thereby not only enhancing British-American relations, but enabling Great Britain to turn her attention to European restoration with knowledge that the treatment of the American debt can be taken as a firm foundation for other settlements. The note-struck by the Times editorial is a refreshing contrast to the atmosphere of evasion, compromise, and cancellation that has surrounded almost every mention heretoof a debt settlement. A few months ago British propagandists were following one another closely in touring the United States and lecturing on European conditions. Most of them contrived to mention the British debt in such a way as to constitute a practical plea for its remission. Never, of course, would the British nation ask to be relieved of a single dollar of the HIGHWAY ACROSS CONTINENT There is promising prospect that the proposed transcontinental trunk highway from Jacksonville, Fla., to San Diego, with its connections to border points, will be established and constructed as a great national military road. It is regarded as "an essential element in the plans being formulated by the war department for national defense and should be completed without delay, according to the best federal standards for road construction. This great highway would be constructed so substantially as to be capable of carrying heavy traffic, and especially designed for military use in national emergency, but open to general traffic in times of peace and security. This Old Spanish Trail system embraces all the border defenses from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Military, naval, air and cavalry bases along the southern fringe of the country would be connected up by this great highway. Plans have progressed so far as to indicate definite, constructive action on the part of the national government. The states through which the route extends are co-operating, and the success of the great enterprise is assured.

CO-OPERATION A BOON There is one "open sesame" for the sealed doors of peace—one word, transmuted into action, which would transform the world. That word is co-operation. Nations must use it, in their inter-relations, if they would preserve peace. It must be used in industry, to avert frequent costly clashes which injure the whole body politic. Co-operation is needed in individual relations. Co-operation, in essence, is nothing more nor less than the Golden rule applied to human relations and actions. Mankind needs friendly, sympathetic co-operation. It needs the unselfishness which co-operation embodies.

"What Peary saw," he quotes Koch as saying, "was really a mighty stretch of valleys, with an immense lake only 200 meters above sea level." In a cairn on the cap of a glacier in Independence bay Koch was said to have found a report, dated June 1, 1907, by Myllus Erichsen, leader of the Danish north Greenland expedition of 1906-1908, from which Erichsen and his companions never returned.

Mankind needs friendly, sympathetic co-operation. It needs the unselfishness which co-operation embodies. It needs the helpfulness, the uplift, the constructiveness, which co-operation brings. There is no greater service to be done human society than to strive to eliminate the hostilities, the animosities, the antagonisms, the hatreds, the suspicions, the sordid selfishnesses, among nations and among classes and groups and among individuals, and to substitute therefor enlightened co-operation. But the spirit of co-operation into human relations and activities and the whole social, industrial and political face of the earth would be changed as though by magic. CLOSE TO NORTH POLE Danish Explorer Finds Relic of Last Erichsen Expedition Lauge Koch, the Danish arctic explorer, whose jubilee expedition was reported to have successfully traversed the northernmost point of Greenland, could easily have reached the north pole, says an article published by the National Tidende, Copenhagen, written by Aage Bistrup, a prominent Danish explorer, who describes a meeting with Koch near Upernivk, Greenland, on the last stage of the expedition. Bistrup writes that Koch discovered the existence of the much-disputed Peary canal, but says it was much INVESTIGATING THEIR PEDIGREE Many young men this summer are spending their vacation hunting up their pedigree in search of revolutionary ancestors. The Sons of the Revolution is encouraging them as a summer drive has been started for new members. The attendance at the historical and genealogical library of the Sons of the Revolution, 424 South Broadway, Los Angeles, is greater than ever before the society's history. Many of these young men seeking information about their ancestors are from other parts of the country, from Texas and Colorado and the northwest. Of course the intervening places are largely represented also. Searchers from surrounding districts of Los Angeles are finding information that local libraries have neglected to gather. The accumulation to date in the reference libraries of the Sons of the Revolution in Los Angeles, is the largest of its kind in any patriotic society anywhere in the United States.
