Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $.50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter JOHNSON'S WATERLOO Two hundred California editors had responded to the Literary Digest's request for an expression of their presidential preference up to Saturday last. Of these 200, President Coolidge received 127 votes, Hiram Johnson 60, and 13 were neutral. Among those who favored Johnson was William Randolph Hearst of the Examiner. Hearst is unquestionably the Republican party's bitterest enemy. He opposes everything the Republican party advocates, and endorses every issue the Republicans oppose. He is an avowed Democrat, but he goes the Democratic party one better. He is glamorizing for recognition of Soviet Russia, and he is in sympathy with the I. W. W. and the Reds. His advocacy of Johnson will not be relished by the senator's Republican supporters. The attitude of Johnson's opponents Argonaut: "They see him (Johnson) is summed up by the San Francisco not as a thinker, but as an adroit 'spell-binder' skilled in the arts of an anxious demagogy, without definite principles, bold in declamation but void of courage in action. They see him as a man of virulent temper controlled by his animosities and re- The American representatives, and apparently the British, too, are interested in benefitting both countries. America, at least, would rather help France than Germany, because of sentimental considerations growing out of the World war and the American Revolution. But the American experts realize that at present, they can best help France by helping Germany to get back on her feet, with industry once more productive and some assurance of financial and political stability. Only thus can Germany pay reparations large enough to do France any good. And only with Germany recovery can Europe as a whole recover and prosper. At present the great, potentially profitable "plant" of German industry lies idle, a drag on world industry and trade and a source of peril. The problem is to start it to working again, for the benefit of the Germans, the French and indirectly the rest of the world. If the French can be made to see that, taking the long view of wisdom instead of the short view of politics everything may work out satisfactorily. THE ANTI-GUNMAN LAW There is some hope, at least, for the protection of honest citizens against gunmen, in the bill introduced in congress by Senator Copeland, at the suggestion of the chief magistrate of New York City. This measure seeks to prohibit the importation of revolvers and automatic pistols and to impose a heavy tax on such weapons manufactured in the United States. It would also place an almost prohibitive tax on cartridges. Such legislation has been recommended by two international conferen- The attitude of Johnson's opponents Argonaut: "They see him (Johnson) is summed up by the San Francisco not as a thinker, but as an adroit spell-binder skilled in the arts of an instinctive demagogy, without definite principles, bold in declamation but void of courage in action. They see him as a man of virulent temper controlled by his animosities and resentments, one whose only arguments are detraction and defamation. They see him a man of lofty moral pretensions in politics, yet falling at points of moral obligation and affiliated with the least moral influence in American life. They see him as a self-seeking politician, regardful of political principles and legislative proposals only as they may stand related to his personal fortunes." The third week of the Presidential straw vote, which is being conducted among farmers by The Farm Journal continues to show large pluralities for President Calvin Coolidge. The results for the first three weeks with votes beginning to come in in quantities, are as follows: Coolidge 1417, Ford 501, McAdoo 403, Johnson 240, Capper 216, La Follette 169, Bryan 114, Raison 104, Cox 91, Debs 42, Smith 39, Pinchot 33, Lowden 26, Watson 20, Underwood 17, Borah 12. Total 3444. These returns are from all parts of the United States, but chiefly from the important agricultural States of the Mid-west, where the vote is being taken by The Farm Journal in R. F. D. routes. The straw vote taken by The Farm Journal in Presidential years has been remarkably accurate in the past. It correctly forecast the defeat of Mr. Taft in 1912, the close victory of Mr. Wilson in 1916, and the enormous majority of Mr. Harding in 1920. The Pictorial Review's February issue is just out announcing the figures in its straw vote up to date. Coolidge lead Ford, his nearest opponent, nearly three to one, his vote being 8038, while Hiram Johnson stood next to the last of the table with 141 votes. Truly, Hiram's stock is very low. HELPING GERMANY AND FRANCE The settling down to work of the international committee of experts, to straighten out German finance and balance the German budget, finds two very different points of view. One is gunmen, in the bill introduced in congress by Senator Copeland, at the suggestion of the chief magistrate of New York City. This measure seeks to prohibit the importation of revolvers and automatic pistols and to impose a heavy tax on such weapons manufactured in the United States. It would also place an almost prohibitive tax on cartridges. Such legislation has been recommended by two international conferences of police chiefs and by the American Bar association. It is in line with suggestions made for several years past by the American press generally. It is not an attack on any vested interest; and though the immediate effects might be annoying to manufacturers of deadly weapons, that would be amply compensated by the immense benefit likely to accrue to the public as a whole. Almost every violent crime is accomplished with the aid of a pistol. That is what gives the gunman his false courage, and does the killing. Police everywhere agree that if the criminals were disarmed, there would be only a small fraction of the present volume of robberies, hold-ups and murders. Objections to legislation against such weapons have been based mainly on the fear that they would disarm self-protecting citizens while leaving gunmen armed. Experienced policemen reply that as matters stand, there is little protection in defensive "gum-toting," and that it is not impossible to disarm the criminals by strict regulation of the manufacture and distribution of pistols and cartridges. With the ammunition under legal control, pistols now in possession of crooks might be rendered harmless. The traffic in weapons of slaughter could never be absolutely ended, but there is no reason for believing that it would not be greatly lessened, and the modern type of criminal rendered comparatively harmless, by such a remedy as Senator Copeland's. INSPECTING WELLS Mr. N. Herrick, the representative of the Tri-Couties Reforestation Committee, is now inspecting wells in the San Bernardino artesian basin to ascertain where water is being wasted and, if possible, stop all waste of artesian water. The first day 32 wells were inspected and no waste found. This is certainly encouraging as it indicates that people are much alive to the necessity for the prevention of HELPING GERMANY AND FRANCE The settling down to work of the international committee of experts, to straighten out German finance and balance the German budget, finds two very different points of view. One is that of France, the other is that of America and England. France fears that an effort may be made to "put something over on her" in the way of a report unduly friendly to Germany. She is interested only in her own welfare, as she sees it, which means primarily the immediate extraction of the largest possible reparation from Germany. She will be suspicious of any action which appears to be intended for Germany's welfare. INSPECTING WELLS Mr. N.

No way to do this has been found, yet it is remarkable that lower Mesopotamia has operated practically on the single crop system for at least 4,000 years—and probably for centuries longer—without the record of one crop failure. Mesopotamia's rop is dates, which not only form the staple food of the people but that country's chief export.

It was to water edge the date growers of those early those date palms that the first irrigation system known to man was devised. From the appearance of boxed dates now in the Los Angeles wholesale market, bearing the burned into-the wood words: "Direct from Mesopotamia," one might judge they were of that first recorded crop of 4,000 years ago. It would seem that they must have been packed by thousands of boxes in a ship's hold inundated by "bilge" water and so remained during the long journey to America. The contents of the boxes have evidently swelled, expanded fermented or so ated as to force date flesh out of all cracks in the stout wooden boxes, as they are a nasty "oozey" mess on all faces and of a blackish soil color. Evidently every box had to be mined out of the solid mass. One look at them is enough to disgust one forever with dates "direct from Mesopotamia." No wonder discriminating buyers are willing to pay from 50 cents to a dollar a pound for good, clean, whole some dates grown in California.
