SOME THINGS BETTER THAN "EXPEDIENCY" There are some things in American politics and public life more important than temporary expediency. There are things more important even than party success, if that success involves the betrayal of justice, even to a single individual. This nation has been too much governed by fear in recent years. There has been too much yielding by men posing as leaders, to mere clamor, regardless of the thought of motives behind that clamor. False issues are often raised by the mere process of noise making. Outcry is organized against some individual or institution, and the pussy-footing type of polician is read to unload his convictions, or his sense of justice, as excess baggage in the hope of calming the claque. Great men do not proceed on any such principle. They do not throw principles or persons to the dogs merely because for the time being that would appear to be the popular thing. Pontius Pilate, who saw no wrong in the Redeemer, but was willing to turn Him over to the mob for crucifixion merely because the crowd howled long enough for the sacrifice is not rated as one of the world's heroes or sages. Honesty in politics is the best expediency. The political leader who has never learned to weather a storm is not a safe pilot either in clear or rough weather. What is needed in American public life today more than all else is not so much more brains as more courage. And after all, there is nothing the American people so much admire as courage. They admire a Washington, who fought hardest when things looked telephones throughout the United States. Similarly, only a few minutes elapse after the ship has docked on her return voyage before this same service is resumed, and the passengers may again remain within their staterooms and greet their friends ashore by telephone. AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT EXTENDS MARKET NEWS Extension of the market news service of the United States Department of Agriculture involving the establishment of one of the largest commercial leased telegraph wire and radio telegraph systems in the world took effect July 1. The main extension is from Kansas City to the Pacific coast with new offices at Denver, Salt Lake City and Portland, Oregon. In the Southeast a branch office is to be established at Atlanta in addition to the that territory. Field stations already operating in Additional branch offices for reporting the markets on fruits and vegetables will be opened early in July at Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland and Atlanta. Offices are now located at San Francisco and Los Angeles. A livestock and meats service will have additional branch offices at Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland and Atlanta. The leased wire system will run into San Francisco and the entire west coast will be effectively covered both by radio and wire telegraph from San Francisco. Authority for extension of the department's service is contained in the appropriations voted by the last congress providing for an increase of about $300,000 to carry on the work making a total approximately of $700,000. Under present extensions of the and 1922 amounts fourths of a million mate that in addition lumber for local forests can be made continually 2 million annually.

The political leader who has never learned to weather a storm is not a safe pilot either in clear or rough weather. What is needed in American public life today more than all else is not so much more brains as more courage. And after all, there is nothing the American people so much admire as courage. They admire a Washington, who fought hardest when things looked blackest; a Jackson, who told an insultor that if he and his friends did not like Old Hickory's views on the tariff they could support some other candidate; a Lincoln, who made a speech he knew would defeat him for senator because he was farseeing enough to see that it would defeat Douglas for President a little later; a McKinley, who went willingly to defeat for a principle in 1892 and immediately thereafter affirmed his allegiance to what seemed an unpopular issue and declared that "the Republican party stands by its principles, in defeat as well as in victory." And so they like the calm courage of Calvin Coolidge, who now sits unmoved by hysteria or hullaballoo in the invincible confidence of rightness. Throwing officials to the wolves in the hope that with their appetites gorged the pack will desist from pursuit is not in his line. What is there within a man, either in public or private life, that can compensate him for the loss of his own self-respect involved in asking an official to abdicate his office and take an undeserved badge of dishonor "for the party's sake." A party capable of demanding or accepting such a sacrifice in the vain hope of saving itself from criticism would not be worth saving. It is not safe in politics to underestimate the intelligence or the underlying sense of justice of the American people. They may for a time misunderstand, or misjudge, but in the long run they comprehend the facts and render their judgments accordingly. Whether this were true or not, it would be better for any leader or any party to go down fighting for what it believes to be right and just, than to commit wrong and injustice for the sake of holding place and power. It is better to be defeated than discredited; better to be whipped than disregraced; Better to stand up to an adversary and take punishment than to run for some supposed place of authority for extension of the department's service is contained in the appropriations voted by the last congress providing for an increase of about $300,000 to carry on the work making a total approximately of $700,000. Under present extensions of the service the leased wire system will cover approximately 7,000 miles. The circuit will extend from Boston south to Washington, thence west to San Francisco or Los Angeles. En route it will connect New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago. Fond du Lac, Wis.; Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City. A special line will run from Kansas City to Fort Worth and Austin, Texas. Contracts will also be made on route at various offices operated by state departments of agriculture. These will include Trenton, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Columbia, Waupaca, Wis.; Jefferson City, Mo.; Sacramento, and Austin, Tex. The southeastern circuit contemplates reaching Richmond, Raleigh, Clemson College and Jacksonville. The leased wire circuits are in operation from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. daily except Sundays, and through the development of code systems are more intensively used than any other leased wire system in existence. Official estimates place the amount of traffic handled by the circuits prior to the present extensions at approximately $650,000 per year based on commercial rates, with an actual cost to the government of $160,000, a saving of nearly $500,000 annually. IN THE FAR NORTH "There are 51 employees of the Department of Agriculture in Alaska," says Sec. Wallace of the Department. "Of these, 27 are in the forest service and have general supervision over 20 million acres of government forest. Eight are in the biological survey. Six are in the bureau of public roads. Eight are in our experiment station service, and two are in the Weather bureau.

'PHONES GOES IN FOR TRAVEL Six Hundred Instruments Cross Ocean on Every Trip of Leviathan The United States Steamship Levilathan, the Queen of American ships, is widely known for her up-to-date equipment and conveniences, not the least of which is a complete telephone system of six hundred instruments. The service afforded by this system makes possible constant communication not only among the numerous staterooms, but also to the most remote parts of the vessel, and because of the ship's magnitude both in surface space and number of decks, the system is a great time saver and convenience to both passengers and crew. A further service is afforded the passengers by the telephone system in that up to a very few minutes before the "floating city" is ready to steam across the ocean, it is possible for any of the passengers to transact business or to talk with any of their friends, whether in New York City or Los Angeles, as these stateroom telephones are connected with a switchboard on the pier, through which access is afforded to the fifteen million "Of these, 27 are in the forest service and have general supervision over 20 million acres of government forest. Eight are in the biological survey. Six are in the bureau of public roads. Eight are in our experiment station service, and two are in the Weather bureau. "The work of the department in Alaska is almost exactly the same as in the states, except that our department people located in Alaska have greater authority to make decisions on the ground than the department people in the states, and with the further exception that in the case of the agricultural experiment station work the federal government bears the entire cost instead of only partial cost. "So far as the administration of the forests is concerned, there is absolutely no difference between our administration in Alaska and our administration in the various states. National forests in Alaska were first created by President Harrison in 1892. In 1905 all the national forests were transferred to the Department of Agriculture. Our forests in Alaska are located mainly in the southeastern panhandle, extending up to within 10 miles of Seward, from which place the government railroad starts. The total stand of timber approximates 80 billion feet. Sixty-five per cent is western hemlock and twenty per cent Sitka spruce. In 1906, the year immediately following the transfer of the forests to the Department of Agriculture, 86 per cent of the lumber requirements of Alaska was imported and 14 per cent cut from the national forests. By 1919 these percentages were reversed and 86 per cent of the local requirements was cut from the national forests and but 14 per cent imported. The normal cut now is about 45 million board feet. The receipts from forest sales between 1906 ANAHEIM GAZETTE and 1922 amount to more than three-fourths of a million dollars. We estimate that in addition to supplying all lumber for local needs, the Alaska forests can be made to produce continually 2 million cords of pulpwood annually. One pulp and paper sale has been made for approximately 100 million feet of timber. Other projects have been laid out and are now being advertised. Of the amount received from timber sales, which aggregated about $824,000 including the fiscal year 1922, over $205,000 was paid into the territorial road and school fund, which fund gets 25 per cent of all the government timber sold. There is no locking up of the timber resources of Alaska, but quite the contrary. "The biological survey is trying to help Alaskans establish the reindeer industry on a sound basis. It administers the laws protecting land and fur-bearing animals, the federal bird act, alds in the administration of the Alaskan game laws, which are mainly under the jurisdiction of the governor of the territory. Its work in Alaska is very similar to its work in the states. "The agricultural work proper in Alaska is carved on at five experiment station, located at Sitka, Fairbanks, Matanuska, Kodiak and Rampart. These stations are conducted without cost to Alaska, although in the states state governments bear most of the expense. The purpose at these stations is to study grains, other crops and livestock best adapted to Alaskan conditions, with a view to helping Alaska to become self-supporting agriculturally. "The department maintains an office of public roads at Juneau. The road and trail work in the national forests is under this office. Our work with public roads in Alaska is exactly the same as it is in the national states. Outside the wa- kind of meat and of all meats combined. Pork and lard are listed separately. The total quantity of meat consumed in the United States during the year was 18,481,000,000 pounds. Of this 6,918,000,000 was beef, 873,000,000 veal, 574,000,000 mutton and lamb, 3,000,000 goat and 10,113,000,000 pork. The total is an increase of over 2,000,000,000 pounds over the average of the last 5 years, and the per capita increase is 18 pounds. About 90 per cent of the increase was represented by pork products. After the heavy increase in meat exports during the war there was a precipitous drop in this trade, but 1923 saw a decided improvement, most of the business being in pork products, chiefly in bacon and hams. The total meat exports for the year were 969,000,000 pounds, an increase of 226,000,000 pounds over the preceding year. All but 35,000,000 pounds of the meat exported last year was pork. The lard exports for the year broke all records, the best buyer being Germany, which took 378,548,000 pounds and paid for it $46,590,000 a large sum considering the value of the mark. Previously the British had been the best of customers for our lard. The great increase in meat production and consumption in the past year was made possible because of the politicacy and rapid growth of the hog. The severe depression of 1920-21, when raising hogs was a losing business, was followed in 1922 by raising prices for hogs and a big surplus of corn. Thus was brought about a heavy increase in the number of hogs the number estimated to have been slaughtered in 1923 being $1,532,500. NARCOTIC EDUCATION WEEK Cooperating with national state son is president, has named the following committee to promote cooperation of the authorities, federal, state and municipal: Gov. Friend W. Richardson of California, chairman; Harry New, postmaster general; Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas; Gov. E. C. Trinkle of Virginia; George L. Baker, mayor of Portland, Oregon; Frank X. Schwab, mayor of Buffalo, N.Y. During narcotic education week it is proposed that there shall be systematic instruction in all schools, and that literature shall be distributed to all homes relative to narcotics and their effect on the human system. Boy Scouts will be enlisted to aid in distributing literature, as has already been done in California. "Save the boys and girls" will be the slogan of the week's activities,and emphasis will be placed on statements of police officials,socialologists and criminologists that narcotic addiction is preying particularly on the youth of America. "School children furnish the recruits for the army of the living dead,as narcotic addicts,now a vast army in number,have come to be called," says Capt. Hobson."We must save the children by teaching them the truth about narcotics.Education is the surest means of prevention." Change now to the brand that never changes and you'll never change again. the state governments bear most of the expense. The purpose at these stations is to study grains, other crops and livestock best adapted to Alaskan conditions, with a view to helping Alaska to become self-supporting agriculturally. "The department maintains an office of public roads at Juneau. The road and trail work in the national forests is under this office. Our work with public roads in Alaska is exactly the same as it is in the national forests in the states. Outside the national forests the road work of Alaska is carried on by the Alaskan road commission, and with this Department of Agriculture has nothing to do. "The department maintains a Weather bureau office at Juneau, with a meteorologist and an assistant in charge. In addition, we have ten special meteorological volunteer reporters who collaborate with the bureau by transmitting daily telegraphic weather reports. "There has been a good deal of talk about declining population in Alaska If the 1900 census was taken in mid-summer when the temporary population was greatest, the 1910 in April, and the 1920 in January, the results would not be fairly comparable. Examination of other census statistics indicates that in fact the development in Alaska as distinguished from exploitation is proceeding perhaps as fast as economic conditions permit. "According to census figures the number of farms in Alaska increased 64 per cent between 1910 and 1920. The improved land in farms increased 116 per cent. The value of all farm property in Alaska increased 68 per cent. The value of buildings, livestock, implements and machinery increased 76.9 per cent during the same period. The white children of Alaska under fifteen years of age increased 49.7 per cent during the decade. The number of families in Alaska increased 7 per cent. The number of Chinese, Japanese, negroes and other orientals in Alaska decreased 77 per cent. The number of school teachers increased 68 per cent. The number of towns and villages increased 115 per cent. The imports and exports increased 238 per cent, not including shipments of gold and silver. The decrease in imports for Alaska in 1922 as compared with 1920 amounted to 28 per cent, but the decrease of imports for the United States for the same period amounted to 41 per cent. The exports of merchandise from Alaska decreased 16 per cent in value NARCOTIC EDUCATION WEEK Cooperating with national, state and city authorities, Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, leader in the anti-narcotic movement, plans to have the fourth week in April observed throughout the nation as "narcotic education week." With the press, the pulpit, movies, radio broadcasting stations, civic clubs, lodges, parent teacher associations and other organized groups assisting. Capt. Hobson hopes to send a tidal wave of information surging across America which will act as a warning of the nature of narcotic drugs, whose increasing use he contends is a peril to civilization. The International Narcotic Education Association, of which Capt. Hobson is a member, is responsible for promoting awareness of narcotics and their effects.

The greatest increase was in the use of pork, which was a bumper crop, but there was some increase in the consumption of all other kinds of meat. Foreign countries, particularly Germany, in spite of financial troubles, helped to dispose of the enormous supply of pork. The production and consumption of meat for the year was the greatest in our history, though the consumption per head of the population was exceeded once, namely in 1908, when the figure was 170.9 lbs. as compared with 16700 pounds in 1923. The figures for each year as compiled by the department include the total slaughter, divided into federally inspected and that not inspected; exports and imports; and consumption, total and per capita, of each The bids must be addressed to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, California, all material to be furnished and all work to be done in accordance with the plans and specifications adopted by said Board and on file with the County Clerk, in his office in the Court House in Santa Ana, in said County, each bidder must submit, with his proposal, a satisfactory check certified by a responsible bank and payable to the order of the County of Orange, or a bidder's bond, for an amount not less than five per cent. of the aggregate sum of the bid, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed contract if the same is awarded to him, and in the event of failure to enter into such contract, the bidder's check or bond shall become the property of the County of Orange.
