IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of June 14, 1873. Five new houses are in process of construction at Richland. (The town of Richland is now known as Orange. —Editor.) San Juan Capistrano is trying to get artesian water. The Fairview school house will open Monday with Miss M. Austin as the teacher. J. M. Guillot will leave for San Francisco today. He will return about July 1st. "Mitch" in a fit of liberality, fed his horses with barley. Natural consequence—a runaway. The business houses along Los Angeles and Center streets, having subscribed seventy dollars a month for the purpose of having these streets sprinkled; Tim Boege will perform the work and will commence operations in about fourteen days. He proposes to dig a ditch through Kuchel's vineyard, and with water from the Anaheim Water company's ditch to thoroughly saturate the streets and then it will be comparatively easy to keep them in good condition with a common street sprinkling cart. The good effects of having the streets kept damp will be apparent during the coming summer months, making the atmosphere cooler and preventing dust from blowing. Presbyterian church, now in process of construction, will be given on Wednesday, June 25th, at Enterprise hall. The entertainment will be what is known as an "Old Folks' Concert," the performers appearing in the costumes of one hundred years ago, will sing and play ballads and instrumental pieces in vogue at that time. This species of entertainment has been all the rage for some time past in the eastern cities and more recently in San Francisco. From the preparations that are being made and from the great interest manifested in the matter by the ladies connected with the church organization, the affair will undoubtedly prove a brilliant success. We trust the good people of Anaheim will turn out en masse and reward in a substantial manner these ladies for their deserving efforts. Dr. A. Heyerman and family will leave for San Francisco today per steamer Mohongo. As soon as his family are comfortably settled, the doctor will return, probably in about two weeks. His departure was the signal for one of those pleasant gatherings for which Anaheim is so famous. His friends assembled at the house of Mrs. Raehm, where the doctor and his family reside temporarily, to give them a good "send off." The inevitable result of such a gathering was a dance, in which all participated with vigor. (Dr. Heyerman was the grandfather of County Clerk Joe Parks). ports from far disglobe.

Webber is quite ill and has been unable to hold his regular Sabbath services for two weeks past. Messrs. Lyon, Ott, E. and H. Polhemus left on Thursday morning for the Arlington mining district. Messrs. Jansen and Campbell left for the Arizona mining districts on Friday. On Monday last, while Otto Des Grances, who lives near the foothills about four miles north of town, was at work in the fields, his house was entered and robbed of fifty dollars in gold. The burglar is supposed to be one Jones, who had been discharged from the employ of Mr. Des Granges several days before. He entered through the window, and seemingly fully acquainted with the secret recesses of the place evidently experienced no difficulty in possessing himself of the money. It is thought he left for San Diego. The concert for the benefit of the SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Franchise under application of the Associated Oil company, was sold to them for $200.

U.S. WEATHER SERVICE BEST IN THE WORLD The weather bureau service of the United States department of agriculture covers the largest area of land and sea and does the most practically useful work of any similar service in the world. Its observations and forecasts are made not only for continental United States, including Alaska, but for all important bodies of water touching American shores or immediately affecting American waters. The Atlantic ocean, the gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean sea, the Pacific ocean, the waters of Alaska and the great lakes are all under constant observation by shore observers and ships which report weather phenomena by wireless. These ships also receive warnings of storms, hurricanes or other dangerous conditions. In addition the weather bureau collects, exchanges, and redistributes by wireless all possible information on world weather conditions indicated by re- ports from far distant parts of the globe. Most other countries also maintain meteorological services. Great Britain regards climatology and meteorology from the angle of maritime rather than agricultural interests. France gives a great deal of attention to investigations of value to flyers. Norway is doing very fine work in polar research. But meteorology in America is applied to everyday needs of every person in every walk of life, particularly to those engaged in agriculture. In no other country can the farmer depend completely on a weather bureau like ours for frost warnings, lest he plant too soon; for rain and storm warnings to protect his crops or livestock; for harvest forecasts, telling him when to expect fair rdays for getting in his crop. He knows that shippers' forecasts will enable transportation agencies to save his perishables, whether fruit, vegetables or livestock, in transit. Livestock men in the great plains or Rocky mountain states, orchardists in New Mexico, owners of cranberry bogs in Cape Cod, have all learned the value of cold wave warnings issued by the weather bureau. Ships scurry for shelter before hurricane warnings from the gulf of Mexico. A ship that disregards the weather bureau's storm signal on the great lakes can collect no insurance if damaged. Receiving immediate word of the coming of heavy snow or even extremely cold weather, gives railroads a chance to have extra workmen ready and to take other steps to keep the tracks clear. More engines are used or smaller loads sent out. River and flood warnings down the Mississippi and other great river valleys habitually flooding in the spring enable engineers to strengthen protection for vast acreages of valuable crops. Other nation attempts to forecast floods as we do, although the Nile, the Amazon, and several large rivers of CONSTITUTION VS. STATUTE Various proposals for limiting the authority of the federal supreme court have been brought forward recently, with more or less plausible argument. The general theory of their proponents seems to be that statutes should not be held unconstitutional where the members of the court are nearly equally divided. Recent decisions b y vote of five to four are cited and it is argued that if four justices consider a statute consistent with the constitution, the contrary opinion of five should not prevail. We do not follow this reasoning. If it is followed it will presently arrive at the transformation of constitutional system. It will dispose of the supreme court as an independent branch of the government and of the constitution as the fundamental law of the republic. It will make the legislative branch supreme and open the way to the substitution of legislative enactment for constitutional principle. If we establish the rule that if a minority of the justices hold a law valid, we give a weight to minority opinion greater than that of majority opinion, which does not seem to us sensible. But there is another objection founded on what should be an established policy—namely: That if there is doubt as to whether or not a law contravenes the constitution, the doubt should be resolved in favor of the constitution and not of the statute. Sound policy will jealously guard rather than diminish the defense of constitutional principles. Our fundamental law can be changed and has in fact been amended and enlarged nineteen times since its original statement. It is not rigid, but it should be enduring. Most of the proponents of modification, it should be noted, are men who show least respect for American traditions and institutions and who are most attracted to theories of social and political organization pre-organization capable of issuing decrees like that in the Saar region aimed at the democracy for which we have so often been told the world was saved. The Versailles peace conference hit the high water mark of stupidity and injustice in the so-called "settlement" 'of a war which, nearly five years after the cessation of active hostilities, remains unsettled. The trouble with Europe is the spirit which found expression in this decree of the Saar commission. Until that spirit, born of envy, hatred and cupidity, is stamped out, the American people will get their fingers burnt every time they thrust their hands or their noses into European affairs. What Europe needs is not so much American interference, as the American spirit of unity and fair play which has made the United States a homogeneous nation instead of an incongruous collection of petty, warring states. THE BREADLESS TOWN It was a sad day in Hugo, Okla., when the town baker was summoned for jury duty. Twelve women got together and sent a telegram to the federal judge at Moskogee explaining that if the baker had to serve the town would have no bread. But the judge seemed heartless and set balk this telegram: "Let the women go to work and bake their own bread. I feel sorry for their husbands who will have to eat the bread they bake, but the work will do the women good." The individual cases to which the meteorological work of the weather bureau is applied can not be enumerated in a small space. Matrimony, style shows, water companies, motion pictures, people seeking a change of climate, court disputes—pleasure and business often wait on word from the weather bureau. At the same time American meteorologists are by no means behind those of other nations in research work. Of primary importance are our investigations of upper air conditions of temperature, humidity, wind direction and velocity, and other matters of direct benefit to aviation. Studies of cyclones and anti-cyclones contribute to an understanding of normal weather conditions. No other nation has undertaken to chart meteorological reports from such widely separated areas as the United States weather bureau which is charting records from western Europe to eastern Asia, from the Philippine islands to the Panama canal and Alaska. An important study of the relations between weather and crop yields, going on at the present time, is expected to furnish valuable data to add to the large reservoir of meteorological knowledge. GEOGRAPHY BY NEWSPAPER Pine a map of the world on the living room wall, follow the daily news on the map and acquire a knowledge of geography better than that offered by most study courses. Every part of the world today is strangely thrillingly active. Every paper records its share of these activities. One day it is a great reclamation project in India. The next, the papers record an epochal railway opening in Alaska. Tut's tomb beckons us to Afrika, the European news to Ireland, England or France, to central Europe or the near east where nations are milling around like frightened cattle. Sound policy will jealously guard rather than diminish the defense of constitutional principles. Our fundamental law can be changed and has in fact been amended and enlarged nineteen times since its original statement. It is not rigid, but it should be enduring. Most of the proponents of modification, it should be noted, are men who show least respect for American traditions and institutions and who are most attracted to theories of social and political organization prevailing in Europe. The American system of constitutional liberty is indigenous and under its roof the American people have lived in ever growing prosperity for nearly a century and a half. We do not find in the proposals of the critics of our system a superior wisdom, and if the American people have regard for the lessons of experience they will jealously guard against gradual infringements of their birthright. WHAT EUROPE NEEDS IS THE AMERICAN SPIRIT The governing commission of the Saar region, a subsidiary of the league of nations, has issued a decree imposing fines and imprisonment on people who criticize the Versailles treaty, the league of nations or the commission itself. It is unfortunate for the league of nations advocates in the United States that this system of preventing discussion of the treaty and the league was not invented prior to the "great and solemn referendum" of 1920. Over here the league spirit developed only to the point of calling the senators who refused to swallow the treaty and covenant "pygmy minded" and conferring upon them other choice epithets expressive of the spirit o fintolerance and tyranny back of about all the proceedings that were had in connection with the attempt to thrust the neck of the United States into the yoke of Europeanism. This is the one country in the world where the Versailles treaty and its attached covenant were exposed to the free play of public opinion. Both of them were repudiated here with an emphasis which would not have been lost upon propagandists less persistent than those who continue to preach here the gospel of either imperialistic or socialistic internationalism.

Tut's tomb beckons us to Afrika, the European news to Ireland, England or France, to central Europe or the near east where nations are milling around like frightened cattle. Palestine and Paris occupy the front page side by side. Russia starves or threatens. Germany discovers a new trade route to Persia. Australia wants to kill its rabbits. There is civil war in China. Japan makes a new move. All the countries of North and South America meet at a great conference in Chile. Central America steps to the front with peace pacts and archaeological discoveries. Any number of municipal, state or regional matters throw first one section of the United States and then another into relief. Hardly a country in the world or an island of the sea but has its line or column not in some stuffy atlas, but right in the daily press. To follow these matters merely as current news is broadening in itself. To supplement reading with map study is to become a citizen of the world, with all its physical and political divisions, its land routes between them growing as familiar as streets of the home town. Geographical knowledge and mental horizon expand together. Five minutes at the map a day will do it. When a man has "more luck than sense," he gives all the credit to his sense. This is the one country in the world where the Versailles treaty and its attached covenant were exposed to the free play of public opinion. Both of them were repudiated here with an emphasis which would not have been lost upon propagandists less persistent than those who continue to preach here the gospel of either imperialistic or socialistic internationalism.
