An attempt to hold a harmonious session of the Farmer-Labor party in Chicago disclosed anew that when the farmers and the industrial workers are closest together they are farthest apart. The Labor wing of the Farmer-Labor party proved to be dominated by a radical and communist sentiment. They came with resolutions which would pledge the party to support a purely communist program; and, when the representatives of the agricultural interests found they were called upon to destroy what they sought only to improve, they quietly but firmly withdrew. That experience is not new. There are groups in the country that sincerely believe their interests are not sufficiently watched and tended by the government. They are not disloyal to the government; but think the machine needs renovating and, perhaps, the addition of some new parts. Other groups, foun dmainly among the industrial workers, are bent upon the destruction of representative government. They are apostles of a class dictatorship and, to attain this end, they would limit suffrage to the members of their own class. These radical groups are well aware that they are too weak to overthrow the federal government, either by the use of the ballot or by force of arms. So they ed in his effort to maintain his age as 16 before the court. Justice Cox took the only course remaining; that being to cite the prisoner to the juvenile court. "Well, he'll stay at lone for five years and have white whiskers when he comes out," declared Deputy Sheriff McClellan, who brought the prisoner into court. McClellan continued to emphasize the possibility of a five-year term at the industrial school. He stood near Armenta and uttered the lone prophecy in clear, almost ringing tones. But the Mexican only stared stolidly at the floor. "How old are you? About 17, arent you?" the officer suddenly asked Perez, who wore a long, flowing mustache. Perez admitted that he was 45. A dozen or more pop bottles filled with a white fluid, purported to be liquor, was offered as evidence in the case. The officers had captured the bottles and their content when the prisoners were arrested. Attorney A. E. Koepsel appeared for the defense and entered a plea of not guilty in behalf of Perez. RICHARDSON CONSIDERING APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE Coming to Orange County to Look Over Timber In a statement to the Anaheim Gazette Governor Friend W. Richardson said: "In appointing a judge for Orange county, I am anxious to select the best man for the place, regardless of politics. In making the selection I will be guided by three considerations: 1. Legal qualifications. 2. Integrity. 3. Ability to work. While legal qualifications and integrity are prime requisites, still these qualities are useless if there is not and preserve what it is welcome. Virtue will come able time is and half of the m the author of the book chosen by the other half will put into effect support of the competition end. No one wants matter of this bearing on the looks like a safe long before the $100,000 is paid. Unfortunately international peace been bedevilled ship and bitter and little can be of national agree feeling dies may take seven. MR. HULL From what Hull, of the Demittee, get there he bases his staff laborers and buys that Hardin constituted the block to the re-adjustment world, and not business and it is responsible for dented business three classes something that ord. Mr. Hull imagination. The depressst last Democratic clear in the m Harding admits out of the economy found it strugglingry. The pro Other groups, found dmainly among the industrial workers, are bent upon the destruction of representative government. They are apostles of a class dictatorship and, to attain this end, they would limit suffrage to the members of their own class. These radical groups are well aware that they are too weak to overthrow the federal government, either by the use of the ballot or by force of arms. So they stand ready to unite with any fairly numerous group that is opposed to the present laws and administration of the government of the United States. Their one dream of victory concludes the uniting of the farmers and the industrial workers. If these could be united they would have a majority. But, whenever an attempt is made to bring them together, the contradiction of their aims becomes apparent. They may agree in denouncing the existing order; but when they begin to consider a plan for government re-organization they find they are as far separated as the two poles. In the beginning agriculture was about the only important industry of the sovereign states. The farmers were the bone and sinew of the government and of the country. And the farmers were intensely loyal. That loyalty has not become extinct. The farmers, as a class, seek legislation which they think would be beneficial to the farming industry and to the country as a whole. But they are not seeking to wreck the constitution. They desire no disturbance of existing economic conditions. On the other hand, symptoms of disloyalty in the country are sometimes found among the industrial workers, although a majority of them are loyal. A primary cause for this condition in industry is to be found in the fact that the proportion of foreigners in industry is vastly higher than that among the farmers. In Chicago the radicals proved to be more numerous than those who sought to improve but not destroy; so the representatives of the farming interests withdrew. And with their withdrawal went all the hopes of the radicals for united action. Senator La Follette was the choice of the radicals for candidate for president next year on the Farmer-Labor platform. He had shown his interest by coming out in favor of the Farmer-Labor candidate for governor of Wisconsin, turning against the regular Republican nominee. But Senator La "In appointing a judge for Orange county, I am anxious to select the best man for the place, regardless of politics. In making the selection I will be guided by three considerations: 1. Legal qualifications. 2. Integrity. 3. Ability to work. While legal qualifications and integrity are prime requisites, still these qualities are useless if there is not the ability, desire and inclination to work. All candidates and recommendations will be given careful consideration. I propose to come to Orange county in the near future and interview the various candidates personally. One endorsement is as good as a hundred, as I am inclined not to appoint persons who have a multitude of endorsers. I propose to appoint a first-class man and one who can give the people the high character of service required." WRONG WAY TO ADVERTISE It is now spoken of as Shelby's folly. The unheard of Montana town went in for publicity. It offered $300,000 for the Dempsey-Gibbons championship match. It received reams of sport page and front page publicity. For a few days the town attained mushroom metropolitan portions. The fight is over, its temporary population gone, its merchants are in the hole, and in a few days it will be forgotten, or remembered only for its folly. For it went after the wrong kind of advertising. Advertising, unless it is directed to a well defined object, is not only of no positive value, but is actually harmful. In Shelby's case, there doubtless has been real injury. The only helpful advertising is the kind that would attract settlers. The publicity received did not show the opportunity for making a living, and it did not "tell the world" the attractions the city offered for home-making. On the other hand, it revealed the ideal of the town and its leading citizens. The ambition to be the scene of a prize-fight, even a world's championship—is not a quality that appeals to the home-seeker.

Senator La Follette was the choice of the radicals for candidate for president next year on the Farmer-Labor platform. He had shown his interest by coming out in favor of the Farmer-Labor candidate for governor of Wisconsin, turning against the regular Republican nominee. But Senator La Follette is known to have informed the radicals that he would not lead the ticket unless the agricultural interests were united behind them. Henry Ford had also been approached by the radicals; but he, too, declines to stand as the candidate of the reds alone for president. All of which proves that it is one thing to find fault with an existing government and an entirely different thing to build a platform to which all the malcontents will subscribe. It proves further that those who would destroy representative government, regardless of the method adopted, are greatly in the minority in the United States. HE WAS SWEET SIXTEEN Wearing a heavy stubble of beard, Henry Armenta, of Stanton, charged with manufacturing liquor-gained temporary refuge in the juvenile court, after officers, at his arraignment before Justice J. B. Cox, had failed to break down his contention that he was only 16 years old. Manuel Perez, a co-defendant, was held under $200 bail for trial, July 27, at 3 p.m. Officers groaned as Armenta succed- ANAHEIM GAZETTE and preserve world peace. As such, it is welcome. Whether anything practical will come of it within a measurable time is another question. Half of the money is to be paid to the author of the plan when it has been chosen by the purity of award and the other half when the plan has been put into effect, or has won the united support of the American people. The competition ends next November. No one wants to be pessimistic in a matter of this kind, with its solemn bearing on the fate of mankind, but it looks like a safe guess that it will be long before the second half of that $100,000 is paid. Unfortunately the whole question of international peace co-operation has been bedeviled by political partisanship and bitterness in this country, and little can be expected in the way of national agreement until the ill feeling dies a natural death. That may take several years more. MR. HULL'S IMAGINATION From what source does Chairman Hull, of the Democratic national committee, get the information on which he bases his statement that farmers, laborers and business men "now know that the Harding administration has constituted the greatest stumbling block to the business and economic re-adjustment of America and the world, and not only has delayed sound business and economic recovery, but is responsible for a long and unprecedented business depression? If the three classes know this, they know something that is contrary to the record. Mr. Hull seems to have a vivid imagination. The depression that came under the last Democratic administration is still clear in the memory of all. How the Harding administration led the nation out of the economic slough in which it found it struggling is fresher in memory. The progress made under the TOO OFT TO THE WELL Last October the radical element among the pottery workers succeeded in precipitating a strike in the pottery industry which has continued for eight months. At a recent conference in Philadelphia the decision was reached to abandon the strike, and the principal manufacturers declared they would take the strikers back as rapidly as they could find places for them, but they let it be understood that no one would be discharged to accommodate the strikers. The executive board of the brotherhood consistently held out against the strike, but the radical element succeeded in overruling the brotherhood for a time. Those who gave heed to the radicals have experience for their reward, and in the long run that may prove to be remuneration enough. The pottery workers as a rule have displayed a great deal of hard common sense, but we all slip up occasionally. CALIFORNIA'S AUTOS Motor cars and trucks registered in the United States on July 1 totaled 13,048,128, according to a survey just completed by Automotive Industries. This was a gain of 2,440,000 over the 1922 total, an increase of about 23 per cent. Registrations have already passed the December, 1922; high mark by 683,751, thus indicating that the final 1923 figures will show another gain of 1,000,000 or more. Every state had more vehicles registered than on July 1, a year ago, while 37 states have already gone over the final 1922 total. There is now one motor vehicle for every 8.5 persons in the United States. California shows the densest automobile population with one vehicle for every 4.09 persons. ORANGE SELECT THE EARLY DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION IS STILL CLEAR IN THE MEMORY OF ALL. HOW THE HARDING ADMINISTRATION LED THE NATION OUT OF THE ECONOMIC SLough IN WHICH IT FOUND IT STRUGGling IS FRESHER IN MEMORY. THE PROGRESS MADE UNDER THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION TOWARD ECONOMIC RE-adjustment HAS BEEN IN THE SIGHT OF ALL. THE RESCUE OF AGRICULTURE FROM DESTRUCTION THAT THreatened IT IS A MATTER OF RECORD, AND LEGISLATION PROMOTIVE OF AGRICultural INTERESTS WAS COMPLETED LAST MARCH. Every worker can compare for himself the unemployment that was inherited from the preceding administration with the labor shortage that is now reported from every quarter of the country. This comparison compels the conclusion that the Harding administration is to be credited with the revival of industry that has brought about such change. As for business men, they have been and still are practically unanimous in proclaiming marked betterment of conditions and in reading present signs as promising steady improvement. WHO HELPED AUSTRIA? "Conditions in Europe are steadily improving, and the success of the Austrian reconstruction loan marked a definite turn for the better." declares F. Gordon Hogarth, member of a large London banking house, who is making a study of the security market here. And who did more to make the Austrian loan a success than the American people acting through private banks and without running to the government about it? The money raised in this country to put Austria on her feet is not a tithe of what has been secured here to succor financially embarrassed governments in every part of the world, and all handled privately.

A fruit packing school will be conducted again this year by the Placentia chamber of commerce under the direction of County Horticultural Commissioner John Anton Winkleman. This will be the third annual school and each year the membership has been increasing. It is believed that this sort of instruction has done as much as anything else to keep Japanese and oriental labor out of El Dorado county. The Japanese population has been gradually decreasing and as there is no land owned by Japanese the outlook is held bright to lose them all when the present leases expire: The American Legion has been taking a prominent part in assisting orchardists to get white help and thus reduce the need for Japanese labor.
