On Saturday night some person or persons unknown, effected an entrance into the store of Mr. Calisher & Co. Either on account of their experience in such affairs or from fear of being interrupted, they disturbed nothing but the money drawer. Two NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES (Correspondent of Gazette) Washington, March 26.—Of the most amazing and certainly the most amusing, things that have happened for some time here was the publication a few days ago of an alleged bootlegger's list. There were over 400 names in it, and fully 200 of them were very well known names in Washington. That list jolted the capital. It included the names of six officials of the state department, five admirals, four generals, a round dozen of naval commanders, twenty-six colonels, twenty-four majors, twelve captains, ten lieutenants, and forty-one women. Tuesday we had occasion to visit the town of Santa Ana, lying six miles to the southeast, and were it not that four years ago in passing over the same ground we had actually seen the absence of all signs of civilization we would have been incredulous when told its age. The land which it occupied was purchased by Messrs. Bush and Spurgeon in 1869 and laid out for a town-site. After devoting their whole energies to the successful accomplishment of their undertaking that they now feel a pardonable pride in the happy results of their labors is not surprising. In a town of between two and three hundred inhabitants, there are two large wholesale dry goods and grocery establishments under the management of Spurgeon & Bro. and Leavin & Herschfield, besides several smaller retail stores, blacksmith and carpenter shops, a first-class country hotel, a neat, unpretending church and a school house, whilst beenath the shade of the old sycamores, the white, rose-embowered cottages of thrifty farmers dot the plain. To the north, in emulation, the village of Richland has arisen, on the east with a name typical of its future lies Tustin City; to the south are the rapidly growing settlements known as Gospel Swamp and Williams, all connected by rustic lanes, dividing the fields of grain and the many beautiful young vineyards. The tourist can almost imagine himself amongst the scenes of his childhood and, except in the greater magnitude of the view, see no material difference between the bucolic scenery of the eastern states and the sunny fields of the Santa Ana valley. fornia Anti-Narcotic league to awaken interest and bespeak influence in combating the narcotic evil to which California seems to be more awake than some of the other states. Mrs. Fitzgerald is the wife of a well known California newspaper owner and publisher. She argues that the drug evil is an international question, one on which Washington must reach an agreement with other nations, for the consumption of imported habit-forming drugs is growing in this country by leaps and bounds. Among other officials who promised her sympathy and support she saw Senator Samuel Shortridge just before he started to his California home. He planned to go directly to San Francisco, and after a short stay at his boys he picked up Here is what it "Sacramento Goeble who admits written from Doe "At the present completed 35 mths the wind-swept at your famous sate with strange tramp and have three years.

Our troop Rhine at the requhe The validity ol not only has never the allies, but it It included the names of six officials of the state department, five admirals, four generals, a round dozen of naval commanders, twenty-six colonels, twenty-four majors, twelve captains, ten lieutenants, and forty-one women of good social position, and dozens of representatives of families that have bee nprominent in Washington for generations. Of course, getting down to brass taks, it was simply a list of names. There was nothing to prove that any man or woman in it had ever bought liquor from the man whose quarters were raided. Indeed, he rushed into print with an affidavit that it was a list of persons to whom he hoped to sell automobiles. And besides there was an anguished chorus of protest and denial from the persons listed. California did not figure in the list, it seems, unless some of the army and navy people on it may have been at one time stationed at the Presidio or Mare Island navy yard. Two rather unusually interesting Californians met in Washington during the past week—Edwin Markham and Mrs. William Fitzgerald; the one known certainly throughout the English speaking world, Ind the other well known to the women of her own state, for Mrs. Fitzgerald is the head of the California State Federation of Women's clubs. Edwin Markham was the star guest of Wednesday's Open Forum of the National Popular Government league, where he discussed the Politics of Jesus. Mrs. Fitzgerald, of Stockton, was one of his interested auditors. She came here for the Call- Mrs. Herbert Hoover is just now much absorbed in a campaign for the better physical education and development of girls and women. It is the natural growth of her work as active—very active—head of the Girl Scouts of America, of which Mrs. Harding is honorary president. The war department has endorsed Mrs. Hoover's plans and is greatly interested in a conference which she is arranging of representatives of public and private schools, universities and colleges, playground and recreational associations throughout the country, to be held 1 nWashington beginning April 6. Invitations for the conference were sent out in the name of the National Amateur Athletic Federation, of which Mrs. Hoover is the only woman vice-president. By the way, Senator Shortridge's predecessor, former Senator James Phelan, has been breaking into print, She argues that the drug evil is an international question, one on which Washington must reach an agreement with other nations, for the consumption of imported habit-forming drugs is growing in this country by leaps and bounds. Among other officials who promised her sympathy and support she saw Senator Samuel Shortridge just before he started to his California home. He planned to go directly to San Francisco, and, after a short stay at his home in Menlo Park, to take a motor trip through northern California. He is a member of a committee appointed by the senate to visit the federal prisons at McNell's Island, Leavenworth and Atlanta, for the purpose of devising methods for the establishment of productive labor among the prisoners. The validity of not only has never allied with without qualification Britain and France last year Lord Curdur Harvey that which his ma would not in any sire to question Ambassador Herr department that formed by the fact that "the French had intention of off of the United States reimbursed for the other governmenr the Rhine."

The on nation that has that the allies need and so distributed selves. The success of Some of his Washington friends have been receiving copies of his recently published reminiscences of his journeys in the orient. It is a welcome souvenir of one of Washington's most genial hosts, and patron saint of the debutantes. The book presents a clear picture of the Japanese as he saw them through admittedly prejudiced eyes. It is quite clear that he regards the Japanese problems as national and not merely local with California. "SACRAMENTO GOLDIE" DON'T LIKE AUTO SLOGAN Wobbly Compelled to Walk Because Drivers Refuse to Give Him Lift Some time ago the Auto Club of Southern California suggested to all auto drivers that they stop giving lifts to strangers the meet along the roads and evidently this has taken such good affect that "strangers" are getting mad about it. A letter to the auto club presents the strangers' side of the subject and shows how some of them feel about it. The whole trouble arose out of the fact that many good-hearted motorists have felt sorry for highway hikers and they have given them free rides only to get hit over the head with a sap-stick for their trouble. One man was killed on the desert recently by some strange boys he picked up. Here is what a letter received from "Sacramento Goldie," a hardy Wobble who admits it, says (This was written from Douglas, Arizona): "At the present time I have just completed 35 miles of hiking across the wind-swept desert all on account at your famous slogan—don't affiliate with strangers." I am only a tramp and have been for the last three years. But as you know the biggest part of the Bo's are all lined with Wadsworth's effort to collect the money will test the European sense of international justice. Great Britain, France, and the others have continually urged the entrance of the United States into the league of nations, and they were all jubilant when President Harding asked the senate for authority to become associated with the world court at The Hague. But here is a case that requires neither the league nor the court to determine. It is based entirely on facts attested by documents signed by all interested parties. Opinion does not enter the matter at all. The allies collected a sum of money part of which they received for us, as part owners, and they have thus far appropriated it all to their own use. Such a disposition of the money, if made by private individuals in personal business relations, would be illegal in any of the countries that have benefitted by the failure to pay the United States its due portion. The ethics governing international relations are not materially different from those which govern this relations of men in their private business affairs. THE LABOR DEMAGOGUE A parting shot at labor and "dirt" farmer demagogues which featured the swan song of Representative Carl Riddick, Republican of Montana, has caused considerable comment in political circles. "Beware of the demagogue whether he be a labor demagogue or a 'dirt' farmer demagogue," Representative Riddick warned. "The labor demagogue never works, he never strikes. He sits in luxuriously furnished offices and draws an annual salary greater than that paid the public officials of our federal government, greater than that paid the officials of the majority of private corporations." not sole, bid for popularity was their claim they wore no socks. "What did any of these labor and 'dirt farmer' demagogues ever do for the farmer and the wage earner? What law did they ever place upon the statute books that worked to the upliftment of either class? To any other classes of Americans? "All the demagogues collectively, from the days of 'Sockless' Simpson and 'Pitchfork Ben' Tillman down to the present time, have never written upon the pages of legislation a single law that was of benefit to anyone." PALM SUNDAY Palm Sunday, the Sabbath before Easter, commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, when he was greeted by ya great multitude who spread their garments in the line of progress and cut branches from the trees and "strewed them in the way," crying: "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." This enthusiasm waned, however, and five days later occurred the crucifixion. From a very early date this day has been called Palm Sunday, for it was ordained by the church that palm branches should then be carried in procession in infilation of those strewn before Jesus in Jerusalem. It is still the practice to preserve a portion of these palms and burn them for holy ashes to be placed on the head on Ash Wednesday of the following year. PALERTINE ALWAYS HOLY,LAND Whatever form each different creed may adopt in celebrating its Holy week the dominant note is the same—it is the spring of the year, the time for freedom, the true resurrection, the dawn of life and hope. To Christ, Moslem and Jew alike Palestine Here is what a letter received from "Sacramento Goldie," a hardy Wobble who admits it, says (This was written from Douglas, Arizona): "At the present time I have just completed 35 miles of hiking across the wind-swept desert all on account at your famous slogan—don't affiliate with strangers." I am only a tramp and have been for the last three years. But as you know the biggest part of the Bo's are all lined up and are putting the smear on your slogan. We are starting a campaign telling how it is a gippo game between the stage lines and yourself. I am hitting the old box cars east so your highway slogan can take a slump, but I'm just hoping one of you birds gets it in the desert without water and gets a touch of it. Experience is a dear school, but a fool learnest in no other. Hoping to line you up in the Wobbies I remain. "SACRAMENTO GOLDIE." "I'll be back next winter in California." So it seems that a lot of self-confessed tramps are angry with the auto club for putting out the slogan "Don't pick up strangers. But it is the fault of the strangers that they do not get picked up. If the highway hikers behaved like gentlemen when they were getting rides they would be helped out more often. WITHOUT QUALIFICATION The American people should not get the impression that the United States, in pressing its claim for reimbursement for the cost of our army of occupation, is asking for a part of the reparations that ought to go to the countries that suffered the devastation of war. Under the Versailles treaty, the first charge against receipts from Germany was to be the cost of armies of occupation, dating from the signing of the armistice. Those payments were to be made to the principal allied and associated powers, of which the United States was named as one. Furthermore, the separate treaty ratified between the United States and Germany specifically reserved all the rights obtained through both the armistice agreement and the Versailles treaty. Our troops were left on the Rhine at the request of the allies. The validity of the American claim not only has never been questioned by the allies, but it has been endorsed Beware of the demagogue whether he be a labor demagogue or a 'dirt farmer demagogue.' Representative Riddick warned: "The labor demagogue never works, he never strikes. He sits in luxuriously furnished offices and draws an annual salary greater than that paid the public officials of our federal government, greater than that paid the official of the majority of private corporations. He draws this salary not for the purpose of promoting the cause of the laborer, but for the purpose of creating discontent and fomenting discord in the labor world. If the labor demagogue, who is responsible for the eruptions in the industrial world were compelled to take his place in the line of men whom he has succeeded in getting to strike and take his turn in drawing his meager weekly strike benefits, we would soon have an era of peace in America like of which has never been witnessed since the angels sang together at the dawn of creation. The labor demagogue who prates about horny handed sons of toil exhibits no callous in his palms. He sees to it that when his dupes go with empty bellies to advance the cause, he continues to draw his fat salary, which enables him to shove his feet under the mahogany and break bread three times a day. No less dangerous is the 'dirt farmer' demagogue. The 'dirt farmer' demagogue is not peculiar to this day and generation. Within the memory of men now living and in public life we have had demagogues elected to the congress whose main, if for holy ashes to be placed on the head on Ash Wednesday of the following year. PALERTINE ALWAYS HOLY.LAND Whatever form each different creed may adopt in celebrating its Holy week the dominant note is the same—it is the spring of the year, the time for freedom, the true resurrection, the dawn of life and hope. To Christion, Moslem and Jew alike Palestine will ever remain the Holy land, the cradle of so many faiths, for which so many have faith for the future.

They amount to about 3,500,000,000 gold marks, half represented by cash payments, and the rest by payments in kind. In spite of reminders from Secretary Hughes that this country would insist on its share, all of those payments have been absorbed by the European powers, and no attention seems to have been paid to the American claim of about 1,000,000,000 gold marks ($250,000,000). The only sort of explanation that has been forthcoming is that the allies need the money badly, and so distributed it all among themselves.
