NATION'S DEVELOPMENT UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE Home Building and Upliftment of Humanity Republican Doctrine When not in power a political party is merely a society to propagate its ideas. When in power the party is the government. Its winning candidate for president is the chief executive, who chooses the heads of the various government departments. Its winning candidates for congress dominate the legislative branch of the government. Between the executive and the legislative branches the party's policies are enacted into law and become the policies of the nation. If a party runs to such doctrines as states' rights, fiat money, sixteen-to-one, paternalism, free trade, foreign entanglements, etc. and it is elevated to power, those doctrines are imposed upon the people and become a part of the nation's policies. Because the people of the United States fully realize this they have the Democratic party in power but 19 years since 1860. During the period of 62 years there have been but two Democratic presidents—Cleveland and Wilson. Both are what are known as "minority" presidents—that is, they did not receive a majority of the popular vote cast. During the administrations of both Democratic presidents there were put into practice Democratic doctrines affecting the economic, industrial, commercial and agricultural life of the country. In both instances the inauguration of these doctrines and their application brought the economic life of the United States to the brink of disaster. In both instances the administration of these Democratic presidents closed with the nation in the midst of a panic, the administration of public affairs marked by extravagance and incompetence, the They were mere clerks carrying information to give him if called for. Neither directly nor indirectly did he take the advice of the senate nor keep the senate informed as to the steps he had taken. Moreover, it having been reported that President Wilson intended to incorporate in the peace treaty the league of nations covenant, thirty-nine members of the senate notified him in writing and by the adoption of a resolution that they could not support the treaty with such a provision in it. With that knowledge before him and before the other nations represented at Versailles, President Wilson continued in his determination to interweave the league of nations covenant in the peace treaty in such a way that the whole must be accepted or rejected. He undertook to force the senate to give its sanction to agreements with which the senate disagreed. No such methods were pursued by President Harding. Instead of going personally as a delegate to the conference he appointed four of the ablest men in the United States, two of them members of the senate and leaders of their respective political parties. These four men in constant consultation among themselves and with the president and with members of the senate represented the interests and desires of the United States government. Moreover, the senate had already, by adoption of a resolution, declared its desire that treaties be made providing for limitation of armament and settling vexatious questions in the Pacific. Thus it will be seen the president made the treaties with the "advice" of the senate. In one other respect President Harding's position was much stronger than that of President Wilson. At the same time that he submitted the treaties to the senate he placed before that body a complete copy of the minutes of the proceedings by which the THE WATER A warning to ownership not to representations and power act has been V.

It is not t into practice Democratic doctrines affecting the economic, industrial, commercial and agricultural life of the country. In both instances the inauguration of these doctrines and their application brought the economic life of the United States to the brink of disaster. In both instances the administration of these Democratic presidents closed with the nation in the midst of a panic, the administration of public affairs marked by extravagance and incompetence, the wage earners of the country unemployed by the millions, the failure of business concerns running into the thousands. In addition, the close of the Wilson administration of eight years found the nation in poor repute abroad, its foreign policy the laughing stock of strong nations and the object of contempt by the weak ones. Practically the entire internal development of the United States has taken place under Republican administrations, and by reason and virtue of Republican policies. Under the direction of Republican administrations the agricultural west was settled and developed; the transportation systems of the country were built and expanded until it became the greatest industrial producing country of the world. Nor has it been in material things alone that the nation has developed under the Republican rule in the last 64 years. The ethical, the human side of things has been equally the concern of the Republican party. Free popular education for the people is one of the cardinal principles of the Republican party, practiced in Republican states where there is the least illiteracy of any section in the United States, humanitarian laws for those who labor, laws for the protection of the weak and the helpless, laws which work for the upliftment and betterment of those who toll, laws which restrain the greedy and selfish, laws which make for social justice. These have all been the first concern of the Republican party. The result is that under the control and direction of these policies America has grown to a mighty nation, richest, most intelligent, freest, the most progressive on earth. Women should think of this in making up their minds with which party they are to cast their lot. They should think which party it has been that has made this country a desirable place for the erection of the American home and the rearing of families, for it is the security and certainty of home clared its desire that treaties be made providing for limitation of armament and settling vexation questions in the Pacific. Thus it will be seen the president made the treaties with the "advice" of the senate. In one other respect President Harding's position was much stronger than that of President Wilson. At the same time that he submitted the treaties to the senate he placed before that body a complete copy of the minutes of the proceedings by which the terms of the treaties were arrived at. In other words, he placed before the senate all the information in his possession bearing upon the agreements by which it was proposed the United States should be bound. Not so did President Wilson. A vast amount of data pertaining to the peace conference at Versailles was hidden away in what has since been called the "steel box," and only in recent weeks have the senate and the public been permitted to know a portion of the contents of that box and even at this late date only such portions as an editor acting under the direction of Mr. Wilson saw fit to make known through the columns of a limited number of newspapers. President Wilson proceeded to negotiate a treaty in violation of both the spirit and the letter of the United States constitution. President Harding paid due respect to both. IF MARTIANS CAN SEE US Periodically the planet Mars comes nearer to the earth than it is at other times. Whenever this getting together takes place the astronomers here on earth are filled with hope to find out more than is now known about the earth's fellow-traveler in space. How the Martian astronomers, if there be any, feel about it is, of course, not known. During the next two summers Mars is again to be near the earth, only a matter of 41,000,000 miles distant. But no telescope now in existence can bring the planet near enough to this sphere so that there is the slightest hope of settling the age-old question of the Martian canals. Even if a magnifying power of 1000 diameters were employed Mars would be still 41,000 miles off, and at that distance the canals would still remain a mystery. But suppose the Martians have excelled us in the making of telescopes and have succeeded in bringing the earth so close to them that they can take over private power to hire eminent absolute power at will." said Lester that is above the courts will civil service recess parts are laid out our political machine 000,000 to spend few words, we are 000,000 for a verism.

BONDS ST The war bonds brought there by Women should think of this in making up their minds with which party they are to cast their lot. They should think which party it has been that has made this country a desirable place for the erection of the American home and the rearing of families, for it is the security and the certainty of home life and of the economic life which rests upon home life that the nation depends eventually. Sixty-four years of history which have been made and cannot be erased or altered demonstrates beyond cavil and doubt the American home an all its environment and needful protection is safest under the administration of the Republican party. HARDING AT HOME AND WILSON ABROAD In presenting to the senate the treaties agreed upon at the armament conference, President Harding occupied a position much stronger than that occupied by President Wilson when he presented the treaty agreed upon at Versailles. Mr. Harding was in a position to argue that the honor of the country require dthe ratification of the treaty. President Wilson and his supporters undertook to make such a claim in behalf of the treaty of peace with its league of nations encumbrance, but the plea gained no credence anywhere. The difference between the two situations is clear. President Wilson went to Paris practically alone. He took with him a few subordinates, but he neither counseled with them nor received from them any suggestions. His speculation on why man seems to be unable to patch up his differences should be interesting. And when he comes to look upon him in his more peaceful occupations and diversions, the Martian might find him always devising new and faster ways of getting about, but aside from the fact that they get there more faster, such inventions and such getting him there faster seem to have no other purpose. These and many other similar reflections the Martians might draw from man's antics, and if he could get hold of them, such reflections might be worth more to him than anything that he could learn about the canals on Mars. BEWARE OF POSTPONED WRATH Notwithstanding the public is bigger than anybody, it has been known to stand for a lot of abuse before getting every little thing? ANAHEIM GAZETTE THE WATER AND POWER ACT. A warning to friends of municipal ownership not to be misled by false representations about the water and power act has been issued by Percy V. Long, who as city attorney of San Francisco successfully directed the legal battles that won for San Francisco municipal ownership of street railways and municipal ownership of the Hetch Hetchy water system. Long points out that the proposed constitutional amendment, which purports to be a municipal ownership measure, is instead a dangerous scheme that would take control away from the people and place it in the hands of a political clique. Paid propagandists covering the state for the water and power act have talked of the municipally owned railway, lighting and water systems of San Francisco Los Angeles, Lodi, Roseville and other places in a manner calculated to create the false impression that the fight on the water and power act is one for or against municipal ownership. "Many good citizens have confused public ownership with a venture in state socialism," said Long, "and unequivocally are working hand in hand with the forces that would subvert our form of government." "The measure gives a new commission absolute power to fix or change rates of service, absolute power to take over private property, absolute power to hire employees without limit, absolute power to dismiss employees at will," said Long. "The commission that is above the legislature and the courts will be above the state's civil service restrictions. All the parts are laid out for the rearing of a political machine that will have $500,000,000 to spend. To sum it up in a few words, we are asked to vote $500,000,000 for a venture in state socialism. It is not that all the advocates statement we do not know, but the condition represented is one reasonably to be expected. It is significant that the secretary of agriculture is pressing a program for greater protection against fire in existing forests and extensive planting of timber trees. The result of deforestation, which deprives the land of natural cover and root systems to hold back rain-given moisture, is a progressive draining of the soil. There are other results no less serious. Italy's present agricultural poverty is directly due to the cutting of the trees on her mountains. The rainfall is shed immediately from the hills in floods, which have washed away the soil and destroyed great areas of fertile lowlands, either by covering with rock debris or transforming them into swamigs. Greece suffers in the same way. In countries which, like California, depend on irrigation the mountain forests have an immense reservoir value. Protection of our woodlands is here a matter of great economic interest. STATE ADVANCES SOUNDLY California is going forward steadily. Its growth is uninterrupted. Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, its population increases, by the addition of very desirable settlers from other regions. This state is, and always has been, particularly fortunate in the quality of families it has attracted to it, to become residents. They are, as a rule, substantial, progressive folk who soon become a part of the community life here and outvie native-born Californians in boosting this state. The growth that California makes is of the very soundest type. Its material progress is very real and permanent. It does not go forward today are many countries crowded in point oof population which nevertheless raise large numbers of sheep and produce a great deal of wool. That is true of Great Britain to a very high degree. There is no reason of climate or pasture to prevent the existence of large numbers of these small flocks kept by farmers throughout all the northern states; at least, of the union, but for some reason it is not done." Senator Lodge probably recalls the saying that the three worst enemies of sheep are "death, dogs and Democrats," and that if we could have permanent protection of the wool industry, and fewer sheep-killing dogs, our farmers could overcome losses by death and find profit in raising small flocks of sheep. The necessity for independence of foreign sources of wool supply on the part of the United States is keenly appreciated by those who stand for "America First," and consequently for adequate protection to the wool industry. SOUTHERN CRUSHERS AT ODDS President Grogan, of the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' association, attacks the duties advocated on exportable commodities of the south by the Southern Tariff association as "grossly unsound and if adopted by the congress would be empty, impotent tario rates by which none of the cotton growers or cotton seed oil mills would profit. Mr. Grogan accuses the American producers of butter, milk and cream of trying to lead southern cotton growers into a trap through the agency of the Southern Tariff association, and says: "These same dairy interests are seeking to exclude foreign vegetable oils, peanut oil, coconut oil, soya bean oil and cottonseed oil from the United States under the erroneous idea that they are used extensively in butter." take over private property, absolute power to hire employees without limit, absolute power to dismiss employees at will," said Long. "The commission that is above the legislature and the courts will be above the state's civil service restrictions. All the parts are laid out for the rearing of a political machine that will have $500,000,000 to spend. To sum it up in a few words, we are asked to vote $500,000,000 for a venture in state socialism. It is not that all the advocates of this hare-brained experiment are socialists. Many of them are good patriotic citizens who staunchly believe in our present form of government. But they have confused municipal ownership and its watchful electorate with state ownership. They cannot see the menace of the great machine that would inevitably grow out of such a royal grant of power, and so unheedingly they work hand in hand with the forces that would subvert our form of government." PERPETUAL LOGGING CHANCE A logging "chance" on which 50 to 60 million board feet of timber can be cut annually for all time is the unparalleled offer to American lumbermen by the forest service. United States department of agriculture. This means that the industry established to utilize this timber will never have to be moved, and that it will always be assured of an ample supply of raw material. The first block of this timber to be placed on the market is located on the Bear valley watershed of the Silvies river, Malheur national forest, near Burns, Oregon. The stand is estimated to contain $90,000,000 feet of western yellow pine, Douglas fir and lodgepole pine, which will be opened for logging development under government regulations. Tributary to the Bear valley area are virgin forests containing over 6,000,000,000 feet of merchantable timber which will be available for future cutting. These timber units contain the finest and most extensive forests of yellow pine owned by the government. They will be so developed, federal experts say, that under the plan of management proposed the forests will produce an inexhaustible supply of timber. BONDS STILL GOING UP The war bonds all above par now brought there by lower interest rates. WILLIS ON WOOL Branding the opposition to the wool schedule as "the most unfair, the most deceptive, the best calculated to misrepresent, of any propaganda that I have ever seen in the country." Senator Willis, of Ohio, in the recent tariff debate on wool made a thundering attack on those who are more interested in maintaining their particular profits than they are in the building up of the industries of the country and the general prosperity of the American people. "I may say here," said the senator, "that I think one of the things which enters into the propaganda is the influence of certain international bankers in the country, who, because of their investments, are more interested in foreign countries and in foreign bonds than the yare in the prosperity of this country. They are, therefore, willing to stand behind this propaganda of misrepresentation in order to build up somewhere else and make their bond holding more secure, not caring particularly what happens in this country. Starting out with that sort of idea, they make these misrepresentations * * * I have here letters from manufacturers in my own state protesting against the protection for the 'farmers' products,' and I have in another folder letters from the same men asking for protection on their own products. Well, either we shall have a protective tariff to take care of every legitimate industry in the country including agriculture and desirable settlers from other regions. This state is, and always has been, particularly fortunate in the quality of families it has attracted to it, to become residents. They are, as a rule, substantial, progressive folk who soon become a part of the community life here and outvie native-born Californians in boosting this state. The growth that California makes is of the very soundest type. Its material progress is very real and permanent. It does not go forward today and retrogress tomorrow. Virtually every developmental industry represented in the state is making advancement. California came through the period of economic depression and subsequent readjustment without much deteriorous experience. It is pretty well through the readjustment period. There are symptoms of returning economic normality on every hand. California evidences these symptoms. WILLIS ON WOOL What motive Mr. Grogan's organization has in mind has not yet betn ascertained, but it is only fair that the statement of other southern vegetable oil producers be printed in connection with his. Not long ago Senator Sheppard, of Texas, received a telegram reading as follows: "The emergency vegetable oil tariff has saved the cotton oil industry from disaster and has given the southern farmers $8 per ton additional for cotton seed for past crop, aggregating $25,000,000. Texas and Oklahoma Cottonseed Crushers' association, both on record and 80 per cent of the independent crude cotton mills. These two states are now for a tariff on vegetable oils, with duties as high as provided in present emergency bill. Many millers who were at New Orleans meeting, the results of which are the present brief submitted to the finance committee by the Interstate Cotton Crushers' association, have changed their minds and feel that they were misled by the importers, exporters, and what are known as the large interests of the business." The rates on the vegetable oils referred to in the tariff bill now before congress are as follows. Olive oil, 40 cents a gallon; cocoanut oil 4 cents a pound; cotton seed oil, 3 cents a pound; and soya bean oil, 3 cents a pound. MOVE TO GUARD WATER SUPPLY OF THE COUNTY BONDS STILL GOING UP The war bonds all above par now brought there by lower interest rates, lower dividends on stocks, sounder financial conditions in this country and a growing appreciation of the value of the government securities. And they will not stop where they are. Financial authorities say that improving business conditions will enhance their value. Those who have held on to their war bonds through thick and thin are now justified. Those who bought the bonds in large quantities from foolish or unfortunate owners a year or two ago have reaped a rare profit. Those who keep the bonds they now possess for the next few years are pretty sure to make a liberal profit over and above this interest in increased market value. FORESTS ARE RESERVOIRS "The tree is the mother of the fountain," says an Arabian proverb. Every country which has permitted the extirpation of its natural forest cover knows to its cost the truth of that saying. The statement has been made that the cutting of the great forests that once covered a large part of the Ohio river region, with no adequate regulation of trees, is already showing results in growing aridity in states like Indiana and Illinois. Just how far the facts back up this caring particularly what happens in this country. Starting out with that sort of idea, they make these misrepresentations * * I have here letters from manufacturers in my own state protesting against the protection for the farmers' products, and I have in another folder letters from the same men asking for protection on their own products. Well, either we shall have a protective tariff to take care of every legitimate industry in the country, including agriculture and wool-growing, or else there will not be any protective tariff for anybody. If legitimate protection is to be denied to the American farmer, in my judgment the American farmer will see to it that if he has to sell in a free-trade market, others are to sell in a free-trade markket." Senator Willis again paid his respects to the statement which has been spread broadcast that a duty of 33 cents a pound on scoured wool (11 cents on the raw wool) would add $5 or more to the cost of a suit of clothes, and showed how utterly reprohensible that falsehood is. As a matter of fact, the 33 cent duty is 12 cents below the house rate. "If," said Senator Willis, "these propagandists are to increase the price of a suit of clothes $g because we decrease the rate of duty 12 cents a pound, I wondered how much they would increase the price if we took the tariff off altogether?" He then showed that the bill as reported by the finance committee is based upon the plan whihh the tariff commission has thoroughly examined and most explicitly recommended. Following Senator Willis' speech, Senator Lodge showed that our production of sheep had decreased from 62,000,000 (in 1902) to about 45,000,000 today, and remarked that "there MOVE TO GUARD WATER SUPPLY OF THE COUNTY Steps to conserve Orange county's water supply commencing with an inventory of resources, has been taken by the board of supervisors with the appointment on an advisory committee to assist in conducting a county-wide survey of conditions. Five prominent conservationists were named on the committee, which was selected last Wednesday as follows: J. Fr ederick Ahlborn, Anaheim; H. H. Hale, Placentia; John Durstan, Tustin; Harry W. Lewis, Santa Ana, and Charles M. Hollingshead, Anaheim. While a definite campaign remains to be mapped out, the committee's purpose was outlined in a general way by the resolution calling for their appointment "as an advisory committee to co-operate with the board of supervisors, in the matter of investigations, having for their object the conservation of water for the use of the people of Orange county." It is expected that the committee will seek to formulate plans for procedure, based upon the proposed study of available resources. Such plans, according to a member of the board, will be submitted to the board of supervisors, and, if deemed feasible from a physical and financial standpoint, will doubtless result in official action upon a conservation program: CONFIDENCE I stay from haste, I take my seat and wait Outside this door whose key I hold, nor shall Unlock, nor enter there. No word I'll give, Nor send commands; instead, the act neglect, That falls so easily from out the hands. Do ye that are so driven by your desire And your immediate need to do, rush by— A sentinel will not be moved by thoughts That sting him—let them swarm and hive again: For bye-and-bye, when all has fallen quiet, When vast plans have evolved themselves, and waxed The bright orbed fullness comes the messenger To seek them that would be the instruments Of God, and shall not find me here—to serve, Unless I wait. GESTURE PLUS PUNCH President Lewis says that the president's order that work be resumed at the coal mines is merely a gesture. Perhaps; and then again it may be a blow from the shoulder. The less speed the fewer the fines. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms—which vary widely but may include pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic palms, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right the danger is overcome. Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an effective kidney medicine. Mrs. G. Click, 411 N. Philadelphia St., Anaheim, says: "I am glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I know they will do what is claimed for them. My kidneys were weak and inactive. I felt dull and languid and my back was weak and lame. Doan's Kidney Pills had been used in my family for years, so I decided to try them. Doan's cured me of all signs of kidney complaint." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfs., Buffalo, N. Y. When they say of a man, "He's good-hearted, but—" they've usually said about all.
