ARE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOOLS? In an address delivered before the World Alliance for International Friendship at Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the League of Women Voters, said: "The United States never fought a war of defense, but the common people who did the fighting were fooled into the belief that they were engaging in such a war." Continuing in her reproach of the United States, Mrs. Catt declared that "we started the Revolutionary war." She declared that while the Spanish-American war was ostensibly begun in the interests of humanity, its sordid aim may have been to acquire sugar cane lands for American capitalists. It is, of course, unfortunate in the view of pacifists of the Mrs. Catt variety that the American colonists ever took up arms in the defense of liberty. It would have been better for America to remain a colony of Europe, involved, as in the French and Indian war, in every conflict that has shaken the continent of Europe during the past century and a third. It was a mistake to resist the effort to break up the Union. Lincoln should have refused to uphold the authority of the nation by force when Fort Sumter was fired on. The blood shed in the Civil war was a useless sacrifice. For waging that war Lincoln was what his enemies said he was, "a tyrant and a butcher." That is the logical result of the philosophy of pacifism. Fortunately, this is not now, never has been and probably never will be the philosophy of the American people. Mrs. Catt's citation of the Spanish-American war as one in which the American people were fooled on the government's theory that it was a war of defense, is an unfortunate one.

Hearing set for March 31, 1923, at 10 a.m. The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on map tract No. 741. BIDS BELOW ESTIMATE Bids below the engineer's estimate were received by the California Highway Commission Monday, when bids were opened by the state highway engineer in Sacramento for the construction of a reinforced concrete bridge over San Juan creek, on the Los Angeles-San Diego state highway. The new structure will replace an inadequate wooden bridge erected sacrifice. For waging that war Lincoln was what his enemies said he was, "a tyrant and a butcher." That is the logical result of the philosophy of pacifism. Fortunately, this is not now, never has been and probably never will be the philosophy of the American people. Mrs. Catt's citation of the Spanish-American war as one in which the American people were fooled on the government's theory that it was a war of defense, is an unfortunate one. President McKinley resisted the popular demand for war after the blowing up of the Maine until he was violently vilified on the floor of congress, and threatened with impeachment. The charge was made that Wall Street was opposed to the vindication of the national honor, and that as tools of Wall Street William McKinley and Mark Hanna were suffering insult to our government, while the blood of the dead of the Maine went unregarded. It was only after every resource of diplomacy had been exhausted that the declaration of war against Spain was made, and it lagged far behind public sentiment. It is not surprising to note that leaders of the Mrs. Catt type are ardent advocates of internationalism, of American entry into the league of nations. From such a background it is impossible that they should believe otherwise. But a comparatively small number of the American people believe that they were "fooled" into the wars they have fought. Every one of these wars has had the support of public sentiment, and the theory that the people have been included into the support of these wars by a blood-thirsty government eager for conquest is an unwarranted reflection on the character of the American government and the intelligence of the American people, without the slightest historical basis. RED CROSS LUNCHEON AT LOS ANGELES TODAY Local Red Cross chapter representatives and others interested in the American Red Cross have been invited to meet Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the American National Red Cross, Washington, D.C., at a luncheon to be held in Los Angeles, Thursday, March 12, at the Hotel Biltmore. Miss Boardman, who is visiting seven of the larger cities on the Pacific coast, will speak on eRd Cross volunteer service and its development BIDS BELOW ESTIMATE Bids below the engineer's estimate were received by the California Highway Commission Monday, when bids were opened by the state highway engineer in Sacramento for the construction of a reinforced concrete bridge over San Juan creek, on the Los Angeles-San Diego state highway. The new structure will replace an inadequate wooden bridge erected a number of years ago, following floods in San Juan creek. Stevens Brothers & Hass of Lomita were the low bidders, with an offer of $26,792.50 against the estimate of $33,582.50. The contract will be under consideration when the commission meets next week in Sacramento. It will be financed from the state's share of the 1925 gasoline tax revenues. PILLSBURY RELEASED Released from jail and required to pay $45 per month to his wife, William H. Pillsbury, Anaheim business man, has ended four months' imprisonment, caused by his failure to meet a prior court order of $100 per month allony. Superior Judge Z. B. West had jailed Pillsbury, after holding him in contempt of court. Pillsbury remained there until his wife, Mrs. Louise Pillsbury filed a separate maintenance suit against her husband and Mrs. Laura B. Resh of Anaheim, his business associate. The case came to trial before Superior Judge F. C. Drumm Tuesday, and Pillsbury's release was ordered, with the requirement of a new alimony schedule. The arrears, under the old order, which now total $1600, were not mentioned in the new court order and are supposed to have been "wiped off the slate." The proceedings Tuesday were marked by introduction of the "Dear Haskell" letters, written to Pillsbury by a Miss Mabel Hyers of Pueblo, Colo., in 1909. Mrs. Pillsbury claims these missives of 16 years ago were proof that Pillsbury deserted her. Pillsbury, prior to his arrest, was manager of an ice business and dairy for Mrs. Resh. SANTA FE IS HIT BY FULL CREW BILL As an example of what it costs the Santa Fe railroad to comply with the Local Red Cross chapter representatives and others interested in the American Red Cross have been invited to meet Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the American National Red Cross, Washington, D.C., at a luncheon to be held in Los Angeles, Thursday, March 12, at the Hotel Biltmore. Miss Boardman, who is visiting seven of the larger cities on the Pacific coast, will speak on eRd Cross volunteer service and its development in the peace-time program of Red Cross chapters. She has been secretary of the national organization since its reorganization in 1905 and, herself a volunteer, has devoted both her time and money to the American Red Cross for many years. She is the author of "Under the Red Cross Flag at Home and Abroad," the recognized history of the American Red Cross, and in speaking she recounts thrilling incidents of service that have come under her observation during a score of years. Miss Boardman is also largely responsible for raising funds for erecting the beautiful Red Cross building in Washington, D.C., which stands as a memorial to the women of the Civil War. Miss Boardman heads the organized group of chapter volunteer workers who feel that though the war is over, Red Cross work continues to claim service such as was generously given during the World War. She will, in her talk, recount the many calls that come to the American Red Cross for service to disabled veterans of the war, their children and other dependents, as well as emergencies such as epidemic or disaster. The man upon whose desk is found the motto, "Do it now," often is found doing it on the golf links. SANTA FE IS HIT BY FULL CREW BILL As an example of what it costs the Santa Fe railroad to comply with the provisions of the California Full Crow law, now on the statutes, $3442 were expended for the five months ending January 31, 1925, merely to provide swing brakemen over a stretch of three miles between South Klondyke and Siberia on the Mojave desert, where there is a descending grade of 2.3 per cent. This statement was issued by W.K. Etter, general manager of the Santa Fe, in directing attention to the inconsistency of some laws in effect and proposed in California that hamper rather than help the railroads in serving the public and add a large and unnecessary expense in operating costs. "The Santa Fe is compelled, by provisions of the California law, to add extra brakemen to its freight trains on a basis of cars and percentage of the grade," said the general manager. "This means that the extra men ride over the three miles into Ludlow at an average cost of $688 with no benefit to us. The modern airbrake and equipment of our freight trains do not require the additional brakemen and it is a dead loss to our company." The official further stated that the proposed Murphy bill, pending in the legislature at the present time, would tend to add still greater expenses to the railroads, as the object of the ob- ANAHEIM GAZETTE JECT OF the measure is to limit freight trains to 48 cars with full crews for each and every train. Such legislation, he said, would cost the Santa Fe a tremendous sum both in locomotives and in extra train crews all of which would have to be made up by increase in freight rates. AMERICAN LEGION NEWS A plea for 1000 additional beds in California hospitals for the World War veterans is recommended by the hospitalization committee of the American Legion, according to Major Walter Garrison, chairman of the committee, following a state-wide survey. Five hundred beds are needed to replace those in wooden structures at Sawtelle, Letterman and Camp Kearney hospitals, and 500 new beds are needed immediately. Although California furnished but 4 per cent of the total quota of those who served in the army and navy during the Warld War, the transfer of men to this state has brought the total percentage of the disabled who are being cared for in California hospitals to 10 per cent. To share in the movement for adequate naval protection for the Pacific coast, the state department of the American Legion has created a naval affairs committee composed of representatives from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vallejo, Alameda, Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, Pasadena and Colusa. State Commander Nathan F. Coombs has named Eugene Bennett of San Francisco as chairman of the committee. Mrs. O. D. Oliphant, national president of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion, is to be the guest of the California units of the organi- NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT OF HIGHWAY Notice is hereby given to all freeholders in the Third road district that the hearing of the petition of R.
