IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of July 19, 1873. Louis Mendleson arrived from lower California on Monday. George H. Peck, of El Monte, is prepared to purchase castor beans. Frank Lecouveur commenced laying out a county road between Anaheim and Rutland's yesterday. A general meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Water company will be held today at the Planter's hotel, for the purpose of discussing the water question. Tim Boege commenced operations with his street sprinkler on Thursday to the great delight of the juveniles, who bathe as much of their persons as the laws of decency and the length of their legs will permit. Fine Sheep—Messrs. Barham and Bush passed through town on Thursday, with six fine Spanish Merino rams, which they had bought from Severance and Peet. One ram, "Durlock," cost $350. He was lately imported from Vermont, is nine years old, and has sheared in a single year 25 pounds and has averaged 30 pounds a year for the last six years. While in town they were surrounded by admiring buck-sharps, who declared them the best sheep ever brought to this country. Anaheim lodge. No. 199. I. O. O. F. will lay the corner stone of their hall. Nearly thirty members of the order are expected from Los Angeles. H. Wartenberg will be master of ceremonies, and F. Stanford, orator of the day. Desmond's brass band has been engaged, and, judging from other preparations, a very pleasant time may be expected. Operations on the artesian well at San Juan have temporarily ceased. At a depth of fifty-seven feet the pipe lodged on a large rock, which has resisted all attempts at its removal. Our people cannot shut their eyes to the fact that at no very distant day it will be necessary to increase the width of the principal streets. The number of teams that open now throng our thoroughfares, find great difficulty in extricating themselves from the jam occasioned by the narrowness of the streets. Dr. James McCoy, a son-in-law of Rev. John Marquis, has lately arrived from Illinois and has decided to locate in Anaheim. Being a gentleman of means, as well as one of sense, he has an idea of establishing a sanitarium in Anaheim.

Conrad will be gratified to learn that he is rapidly recovering from his late attack of fever and that in a few days he will be attending to his usual avocations. On Tuesday last R. Luedke was kind enough to present us with a large, luxious bunch of thoroughly ripened Mission grapes, a pleasure we did not expect until 2 months hence, at which time grapes of that variety begin to get ripe. There are, we believe, plenty of foreign grapes ripe at this time, but it is a pleasure, rarely enjoyed, to be able to eat Mission grapes in the month of July. Mr. Luedek informs us that to prevent the ravages of frost he will prune his vineyard twice—in October and January. This method, we are informed, will be largely followed by our vineyardists, the coming season, as the cheapest and most effectual way of preventing the destruction of their crops, should we again be visited by the frost. A rumor floated around town that there are sixteen dead cats under Menzel's store. We are requested to announce that said rumor is a baseless fabrication gotten up by rival business houses with intent to injure said Menzel in his business. The truth is that he received a large consignment of the finest imported limburger cheese, by the last steamer, which he sells cheap for cash.

Har of cerealator of the land has been other pre-emptive time may well at ceased. At the pipe which has removed. their eyes to instant day it is the width strong our difficulty in amm the jamcess of the non-in-law arrived and to locate gentleman of sense, he has nitarium in real farmers' held at Galapagos pose of per- to perform its part in the defense of the nation. When we consider the conditions of the world war, when our young men were drafted and sent to the front to face unheard of perils for a compensation of $30 a month while our wealth and civil labor were left free to reap all the huge profits that the emergency made possible, it is a wonder that anybody can be found who will dispute the inherent justice of the president's proposal. "Yet there are those who take exception to the conscription of wealth. Their criticisms of President Harding for its advocacy are directed not so much at the merits of the suggestion as at what they consider the impossibility of its realization under the constitution. They charge the president with urging a violation of the fundamental law, and assert that wealth cannot be drafted unless the constitution is amended. The public mind should be freed of any such doubts. The fifth amendment to the constitution covers the case completely. It reads in part as follows: "No person shall be * * * deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." It follows that life and property may be taken with due process of law, provided just compensation is paid for the property so taken. Furthermore, the constitution was established, among other things, "to provoke for the common defense," and to that end congress was specifically authorized "to raise and support armies." In conformity with those constitutional provisions, congress has raised and supports an army, paying for its supplies a just compensation. When the world war emergency arose and it became suddenly necessary greatly to expand our army, congress enacted a draft law that applied to every male Anglo-Irish treaty granting dominion home rule to southern Ireland, the United States has taken the initiative and has been the leading factor in each of the changed international relations which have furnished the basis for the better feeling. Similarly, an enumeration of events might be made which would show reasons for better feeling existing between the United States and Japan and between this country and our sister republics in South America. We have dealt with the utmost generosity with our allies in the recent war; we have been no less generous in our dealings with our late enemies. There is every reason why a more kindly international feeling should exist. SWEDES AS CITIZENS The results of an official survey of the Swedes of America by the Swedish consul general of New York are highly creditable to the representatives of that great Scandinavian race. It would be invidious to make any comparisons between the Swede and any other immigrant, but the facts speak for themselves and other races cannot complain if the finding is somewhat against them. For instance, it is shown that 87.6 per cent of all Swedish immigrants are virtually 10 per cent Americans within ten years after their arrival here. They are able to read and speak English and are naturalized citizens of the republic. The average for all immigrants in this respect is only 56.9 per cent, and this would, of course, be very materially reduced if the Swedes were eliminated from the calculation. About seventy-five per cent of every 100 of all immigrants are able to read and speak English within ten years after their arrival, as compared with 87.6 per cent of the Swedes. of the British fleet. Neither will the stipulated ratio of capital naval strength as between the United States and Japan be maintained if Japan increases the range of her guns and the United States does not. Because there was a mistreatment to the congressional committee regarding the time when Great Britain increased the range of her guns, and because of the desire of the administration to avoid even the appearance of a restoration of dreadnaught competition, it was decided not to expend the money appropriated for alterations in our capital ships. The question will be once more placed before congress, probably with the recommendation that the appropriation be again authorized, with a view to establishing and maintaining the big ships of the American, British and Japanese navies on not only a theoretical but a practical 5-5-3 basis as contemplated by the treaties negotiated at the Washington conference. Even if congress shall approve the elevation of the gun ranges, the United States cannot be accused of competition in general naval strength with any other country. Great Britain has a vast superiority to us in the matter of light cruisers, while the French navy is rapidly developing her submarines. Japan, too, has more sea-goining submarines than this country. Both France and Great Britain are possessed of air fleets that exceed our own in number of planes and personnel. SONS OF THE REVOLUTION At a meeting of the board of directors held July 10, it was decided for the purpose of stimulating a greater interest in life memberships in the Sons of the Revolution, to offer one hundred dollar life membership to each member of the society who will bring in between now and five o'clock on December 21 at least ten new members. IN CONFORMITY WITH THESE Constitutional Provisions, Congress Has Raised and Supports An Army, Paying For Its Supplies A Just Compensation. When The World War Emergency Arose And It became Suddenly Necessary Greatly To Expand Our Army, Congress Enacted A Draft Law That Applied To Every Male Citizen Alike. They Were Not Permitted To Take Advantage Of The Unprecedented Demand For Men And Bid Up The Price For Their Services Accordingly. Each Man Was Seized By His Government, Examined As To Age And Other Qualifications And, If Found Satisfactory, Sent To The Front Line To Fight For His Country. But While Congress Fixed New And Rigid Rules For Commandeering The Country's Wealth Of Man Power For Military Service, It Said Nothing As To The Conduct Of Material Wealth In The War Emergency Or Of Labor Employed In Civilian Pursuits And The Law Of Supply And Demand Was Left Free To Enhance Prices And Wages Out Of All Reason. Private Property, In The Shape Of The Outputs Of Hundreds Of Factories, Was Taken, But Instead Of The compensation Therefor Being "Just," As contemplated By The Constitution, It Was Highly Unjust. The Critics Of President Harding Make The Error Of Construing The Term "Just Compensation" Only As Fixing A Reasonable Minimum Below Which The Government Shall Not Go In Making Payment For Private Property. But That Payment Must Be "Just" Not Only To The Payee, But To The Government itself, That Is, The Taxpayers. Congress, therefore, Has The Power To Protect The Government Against Extortionate Prices, In Other Words, To Constrict Wealth. AMERICAN DIPLOMACY PROMOTES TRUE PEACE The Success of American Diplomacy Under the Present Administration Should be Highly Gratifying to The American People. Many People Are Inclined to Accept the General Assertion that The United States Is the Worst Hated Nation in the World Today and that Our Relations With Foreign Countries Are In Turmoil. Nothing Could Be Further From the Truth. Our Improved Relations With Great Britain, For Instance, Are Typical Of Our More Friendly Relations With All Other Nations. Americans Should Be Interested In A Recent Analysis Of The In Ten Years After Their Arrival Here. They Are Able To Read And Speak English And Are Naturalized Citizens Of The Republic. The Average For All Immigrants In This Respect Is Only 56.9 Percent, And This Would, Of Course, Be Very Materially Reduced If The Swedes Were Eliminated From The Calculation. About seventy-five Percent Of Every 100 Of All Immigrants Are Able To Read And Speak English Within Ten Years After Their Arrival, As Compared With 87.6 Percent Of The Swedes. A Majority Of Swedes Who Have Made Their Homes In This Country Are Either Technical Men, Highly Skilled Engineers Often Occupying High Positions In America's Greatest Industrial Institutions, Trained Workers In Technical Trades Or Farmers. Swedes Do Not Congregate In American Cities. They Go To The Farms And become producers and Contributors To America's Resources. They Are Found Most Numerous In The Spring Wheat Growing Sections. About One-fifth Of All The Swedish Male Immigrants—the First Generations Become Farmers. Reports Show That An Important Change Is Taking Place In The Occupations Of Swedish Women In This Country. About Two-thirds Of All Swedish Immigrants were Classified As Servants, House-Keepers, Maids And Waitresses, But Their Daughters Become Brain Workers. The Survey Proves What Has Long been Recognized, That The Swedes Make Citizens Of The Highest Type And Are A Contribution Of The Greatest Value To The Nation. Thrifty, Industrious, Intensely Dependable, The Swede IsWelcome From Every Standpoint Of Racial Value—and Vastly More So than Others Who might Be Named. The Country Needs Most Of All, So Far As Immigration Is concerned, New Comers Who Display The Very Qualities Which So Distinguish The Swede. NAVAL EQUALITY DESIRED Among the Questions which the Next Session of Congress Will Have Before It Will Be That Of Determining Whether The United States shall Expend $6,500,000 In Alterations On 13 Of Our Battleships For The Purpose Of Increasing the Range Of The Guns On Those Battleships By About 3000 Yards. Congress At Its Last Session Made Such An Appropriation But It Having Been Claimed That This Appropriation Was Made Under A Misapprehension As To Certain facts,the Navy Department Has Not Expended The Money. It Is the Present Understanding That The Money Will Not Be Expended For That Purpose Until Never Neglect Your Kidneys. If You Have Pain In The Back, Urinary Disorders, Dizziness and Nervousness, It's Time To Act And No Time To Experiment. These Are Frequently Symptoms Of Kidney Trouble, and A Remedy Which Is Recommended For The Kidneys Should Be taken In Time. Doan's Kidney Pills is a Good remedy to Use. No Need to Experiment. It Has Acted Effectively In Many Cases In Anaheim. Follow the Advice of An Anaheim Citizen. C. E. Jordan, carpenter, 319 S. Philadelphia St., says: "My work is a strain on My kidneys and back. I had Attacks of Backache and a Soreness across My Kidneys that made it Our improved relations with Great Britain, for instance, are typical of our more friendly relations with all other nations. Americans should be interested in a recent analysis of the reasons for the better feeling between the United States and Great Britain as stated by a prominent resident of England who has made numerous and extended visits to the United States for many years past. Some of the specific reasons enumerated by the writer for the improvement in British-American relations are thus summarized: The abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese treaty which was particularly disastrous to America; the Washington naval agreement which established the 5-5 ratio and practically assured equality of naval power; the Anglo-Irish treaty which met the dissatisfaction of those Americans who felt sympathy for the home rule movement in southern Ireland; the successful conclusion of the British debt negotiation; closer relations between the United States and the British colonial possessions; better news service, giving a better understanding in each nation of public opinion in the other. A review of this list of accomplishments will show that the diplomatic representatives of the United States have taken the lead in all of the more important movements and have brought about the international understandings which have improved our international relations. In fact, with the exception of the adoption of the United States shall expend $6,500,000 in alterations on 13 of our battleships for the purpose of increasing the range of the guns on those battleships by about 3000 yards. Congress at its last session made such an appropriation but it having been claimed that this appropriation was made under a misapprehension as to certain facts,the navy department has not expended the money. It is the present understanding that the money will not be expended for that purpose until congress has an opportunity once more to review the facts. It appears that in the British navy there is one ship whose guns have a range of 30,000 yards and 21 ships with a range of 24,000 yards. The American navy has 5 vessels with a 36,000 yard range and 13 with a 21,000 yard range. It is reported that French and Japanese ships are to undergo changes which will give the naval guns of those nations a range of 3000 yards greater than our own. When an official of the navy department explained to a congressional committee the disadvantage under which the American navy rests as compared with that of Great Britain, he made the erroneous statement that the range of the British guns had been increased to—the present standard since the signing of the limitation of armaments treaty. Whether the change was made before or after the signing of that treaty is wholly imaterial, for the treaty does not make any stipulations as to the range of guns. The treaty fixed the tonnage of the capital ships of the two powers, and made other restrictions, all for the single purpose of equalizing their battleship fleets. It is apparent, however, that the two capital fleets are not now equal because of the greater range of the guns.
