WASHINGTON LETTER (From our Regular Correspondent.) Nomination of Calvin Coolidge as Republican candidate for President is now assured beyond possibility of doubt. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Oklahoma have clinched it and even the betting commissioners in New York report that they haven't a cent to bet on any other Republican. Incidental to the primary election in Pennsylvania was the overwhelming and humiliating defeat of Gifford Pinchot. He was snowed under 250,000 votes, the greatest defeat ever suffered by candidate in the Keystone state. Inspired by an overweaning ambition to be president, Pinchot strove vigorously to undermine the strength of President Coolidge and to that end attacked Secretary Melton, inspired Senator Couzen to retain at his own expense Francis J. Heney to add to the saturnalia of muck-raking at the Capitol, and in ways both various and devious sought to discredit the administration. The voters of Pinchot's own state who know him best, as he has been their Governor for several years, administered to him the sharpest and most humiliating rebuke they ever gave an ambitious politician, thus presaging his early permament and innocuous retirement from public life. Crown Prince McAdoo who, unlike all the rest of his party, is unaware that his presidential boomlet is dead and only awaiting decent burial at New York, has entered an emphatic denial that he prosecuted the claim of Albert C. Burrage against the Government and procured from the U. S. Treasury $300,000. McAdoo's defense is that he left it to his partner (and pal) Stuart G. Gibboney, to prosecute this claim. As everyone knows that Gibboney's standing in Washington the large public campground on the Bay side of the city. Following the completion of repairs to the pier at Newport Beach and the opening of new sanitary comfort stations at Newport Beach, East Newport and Balboa, all signs of construction have been removed. Timbers have been stored in the City Yard and everything is being done that will make it more pleasant for the great numbers of Orange County people who regard Newport Beach as their own particular family resort. A great increase in building permits is reported by J. A. Porter, City Building Inspector, who states that permits for the four months—January to April, 1924, reached the respectable sum of $214,325.00. Over thirty houses are now under construction. The large contract for sewer system paving and street lighting on the Peninsula tract is well under way and promised for completion about the 1st of August. The job will cost about $250,000.00. Balboa Island sewer system, costing about $140,000.00 is now being installed. A water system to supply Newport Heights will be finished in a few weeks and plans are being drawn by City Engineer, Paul Kressley for a complete water system for Corona del Mar. The outlook in all parts of Newport Bay district is very encouraging. GREATER LOS ANGELES PROJECTS ENDORSED Endorsements of the Greater Los Association and its campaign for industrial expansion through the financing of established manufacturing concerns in Southern California that wish to increase their output, and for new industries that with to build plants or branch factories in the Greater Los Angeles area, continue to pour in.

Burrage against the Government and procured from the U.S. Treasury $300,000. McAdoo's defense is that he left it to his partner (and pal) Stuart G. Gibboney, to prosecute this claim. As everyone knows that Gibboney's standing in Washington was due solely to his intimacy with McAdoo and that he was at all times regarded as McAdoo's alter ego, and as McAdoo shared, no doubt, the profits Gibboney made, the denial would be ridiculous, even were it true. The records of the Navy Department show however, that McAdoo was extremely active himself in the matter and the Navy files are filled with letters and telegrams regarding this claim, all bearing the signature of the Crown Prince. It is also shown that McAdoo introduced Gibboney at the Navy Department with the statement that Gibboney was his partner and would present the details of the Burrage claim, and one letter from McAdoo's firm flatly states that McAdoo "has charge of this case" and requests a postponement of a hearing on the ground that "Mr. McAdoo is out of the city." Having passed the bonus bill, the Senate has now taken up the tax reduction bill, designed to reduce taxes by $300,000,000 a year. Of course Congress well knows that enactment of a bonus bill and reduction of the taxes at the same time are wholly impossible, just as impossible as to save your cake and eat it too. The passage of the bill is simply a cowardly method of shifting responsibility to the President. The members confidently expect Mr. Coolidge to veto the bonus bill, while they can claim credit for having voted for it. But if they should pass it over his veto, they well know they will have to increase taxes—if not before the election, immediately after. Only seventeen Senators, 8 Republicans and 9 Democrats, voted against the bonus on final passage. Senator Walsh is still dragging out the oil "investigation," getting nowhere but spending vast sums of the taxpayers' money. The sole purpose of the investigation was accomplished when the case of Mr. Fall and the oil leases was confided to the courts and GREATER LOS ANGELES PROJECTS ENDORSED Endorsements of the Greater Los Association and its campaign for industrial expansion through the financing of established manufacturing concerns in Southern California that wish to increase their output, and for new industries that with to build plants or branch factories in the Greater Los Angeles area, continue to pour in, is stated by officials of the association. One of these letters from Marius de Brabant, of the Union Pacific traffic department, says in part: "The Greater Los Angeles Association, through its proposed finance corporation, will do more to insure the permanent prosperity of the Southland than any other human controlled factor. Its very existence will not only enable industries already established to expand, but will bring other needed industries here." Another letter that is characteristic of the feeling of business men throughout the Greater Los Angeles area is that of Charles O. Middleton, pioneer Los Angeles realtor and investment broker, who writes: "It gives me pleasure to hand you my check in the amount of $250 for ten memberships. I am quite sure that 2499 other men in this community will realize, as I do, that you have started the biggest thing that was ever started in Los Angeles. "When you are organized and ready to raise the $50,000,000 industrial finance fund you may count on me for the same amount pro rata of this fund; in other words I will be glad to be one of the 2500 men to invest $20,000, making up the total of $50,000,000 in the securities that you will issue, which I understand are to be based upon bonds or other evidences of new industries." Joseph M. Schenck, the moving picture producer, writes: "There is a great need for an increase in the number and variety of stable industries in this community. I believe the Greater Los Angeles association is sponsoring the right movement for the organization of a finance corporation that will assist the expansion of existing industries and bring new factors to our city. I heartily recommend this activity and predict that when the purposes of the association are fully understood by the public, every man and woman in Greater Los Angeles will be eager to subscribe to it." Senator Walsh is still dragging out the oil "investigation," getting nowhere but spending vast sums of the taxpayers' money. The sole purpose of the investigation was accomplished when the case of Mr. Fall and the oil leases was confided to the courts and the President appointed ex-Senator Pomerene and Owen Roberts special counsel to protect the interests of the Government. Since then the "Investigation" has reverted to its original purpose, an attempt to offset the opposition of the Ku-Klux to Senator Walsh's reelection to the Senate, primarily, and secondarily an effort to discredit the Republican administration. NEWPORT IMPROVEMENTS Newport Beach playground features are to be extended according to the officials of the Women's Civic League of that city. Plans are under way to establish Children's Playgrounds on the ocean shore at East Newport and at Balboa. The equipment on the beach at Newport is to be increased. Swings, Teeters, slides and several other types of playground equipment will be purchased by public subscription and installed at once. Everything that can be done to make the beaches still more attractive to visitors is to be undertaken by committees working at each of the different centers of the line of beaches which are included in the City of Newport Beach.

The man who believes some of the teachings of modern science are contrary of Biblical revelation has as much right to his opinion as has the scientist who finds no conflict between the Great Book and the "books in the running brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything" which his laboratory teaches him. Through discussion, talk, the printed word, teaching, and argument, man struggles through ignorance and darkness to truth and light. What is sunshine for one man is darkness for another, and each believes he is right. The forefathers of this nation decided in their wisdom that, so far as the law was concerned, both are right. Any attempt to take away that liberty of thought, to interpret the Bible or any religious belief, by law, for any one, is an encroachment upon the allenable rights of American citizens, and should be resisted stoutly by all who have the cause of true religion, true knowledge and true freedom at heart. FIGHTING THE PLAGUE Estimates of experts that 90 percent of the spreading of the hoof and mouth disease is done by human beings and motor vehicles has enlisted keenest interest of motorists in preventative measures. The strict quarantine measures enforced, which constantly are being made more drastic, have brought the public to realize that this epidemic among cattle affects the economic welfare of every resident of the state. The seriousness of the situation has forced individuals to recognize the rights of public policy, and emphasized the fact that it is up to everyone to aid in combating the disease. From the report of the first case in this section, the Automobile Club concerning the Campbell case and was introduced to the Commissioner by the solicitor who said that the Senator was "Interested in the Campbell case." According to the Commissioner's story, the Senator said that his interest "was only to the extent of seeing that Campbell got fair treatment and a square deal." There you have it. Did you ever know any attorney anywhere who ever said he wanted anything else but fair treatment and a square deal for his client? Did you ever know any Senator who said anything else but fair treatment and a square deal for his constituents? Apparently Wheeler conformed to custom. He says he had a distinct understanding that he was to represent Campbell as attorney only in state cases. In the Government case he merely went to the Department and asked that his client be given fair treatment and a square deal. Wonder what he asked for in state cases. PROTECTION FOR MINERS The prevention of accidents in the mines of California is receiving careful attention from the Industrial Accident Commission. Practically all the large mines have been inspected since July 1, 1923. The Commission has succeeded in securing very gratifying results among which are the installation of large blowers to control the mine ventilation at the three deepest mines of the state. In larger mines there has been provided proper fire-fighting equipment and trained crews are available to be used in case of emergencies. Inflammable material has been fireproofed, weekly inspections of second exits are made, safety committees have been organized to discuss accidents and the means of preventing them and general inspections are regularly made, ele- on the lower connection between these two mines is being actively prosecuted. The original connection made at the time of the Argonaut disaster in 1922, will be kept open until the lower connection has been completed. Adequate fire-fighting equipment has been installed in both mines. THE FARMERS' AID Up to date all Senator Magnus Johnson has done to help the farmers was to win second place in a milking contest in which there were only two entries. GET AT THE CAUSE! Many Anaheim Folks Are Showing How to Avoid Needless Suffering. There's nothing more annoying than kidney weakness or inability to properly control the kidney secretions. Night and day alike, the sufferer is tormented and what with the burning and scalding, the attendant backache, headache and dizziness, life is indeed a burden. Doan's Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys—have brought peace and comfort to many Anaheim people. Profit by this Anaheim resident's experience: S. C. Marburger, carpenter, 121 S. Ohio St., says: "My kidneys got out of order and I had severe backache and pains over my kidneys. When I stooped I had sharp catches in my back. My kidneys acted irregularly and I used Doan's Pills. They were just what I needed. Doan's soon fixed me up in good shape. The backache left and my kidneys acted naturally." Mr. Marburger is only one of many Anaheim people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your backaches—if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for DOAN'S PILLS, the same that Mr. Marburger had—the remedy backed by home testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.

Aneheim Creamery Company PHONE 666 Anaheim, California How to Avoid Grade Crossing Accidents Automobile drivers, when approaching railroad crossings, should go into second speed. Then look and listen. Absolute control thus is assured. Stop or go ahead, as conditions warrant. During 1923 one hundred and three persons were killed and four hundred seventy-four injured at highway crossings on the Santa Fe Railway. These regrettable accidents might have been avoided if these motorists had been careful. The rapid increase in grade-crossing accidents is due to the greatly increased and general use of the automobile in the hands of drivers ignorant or willfully disregardful of the perils which attend careless driving. Sometimes it is the careless driver alone who pays the penalty, but usually innocent ones pay it in part or entirely. Automobiles should be safer at railroad crossings than horses, because they do not become frightened and are better controlled; but the opposite seems to be the case. An experienced driver of horses describes the proper method of approaching a railroad crossing as follows: "Gather up the reins tight, take out the whip, and bring the horses to a walk." An experienced automobilist advises: "Always go into second speed." The method is precisely the same in either case. The driver has absolute control, can stop or go ahead as conditions demand, and is alert to the situation. If all drivers would but adopt this simple rule and adhere to it faithfully the problem would be solved. What a saving there would be of priceless human life, of grief untold, ambitions wrecked, and hopes lost forever! You are urged to give this “Safety First” suggestion most earnest consideration. Better be safe than sorry. W. B.

BULL DURHAM 2 bags for 15¢ 8¢ A BAG You can roll 100 Cigarettes for 15 Cents Is Five Cents on the Dollar of Valuation too Much to Earn? If a business worth $10,000 earned $500 net income in a year (or $41 a month), would it be considered an unreasonable profit and proof that its prices were too high? The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Commerce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,593,000... On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $997,610,000, or 4.69 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued—as repeatedly but erroneously claimed—the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Commerce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000.. On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $997,610,000, or 4.69 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued—as repeatedly but erroneously claimed—the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5% per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Transportation Act, has found they are entitled. If the roads cannot earn 5% per cent in a big year, what will they do in a small year? The Transportation Act provides that if a road in any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pay one-half of the excess to the Government. The Act is, therefore, a limitation rather than a guarantee. GIVE TRANSPORTATION ACT FAIR TRIAL The Transportation Act should be given a fair test and its merits judged by the results of a normal period of reasonable length. The year 1923 was the first since the war under conditions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is not more law but more confidence. The railroads have emerged from the welter of the war, restored their morale, made enormous investments of new money, and in 1923 handled a peak business with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act is the only really constructive railroad legislation of a generation. Previous acts were almost solely repressive. In framing the Act the public interest was paramount. The Act directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to "give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities in order to provide the people of the United States with adequate transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should make as good a record for efficiency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. R.
