EDITORIAL NOTES JUDGE WILLIAMS' ILL HEALTH MORE regret will be felt throughout Orange county that Judge Roger Y. Williams of the Superior court has felt himself impelled to tender his resignation to the governor because of ill health than will be felt for his loss to the bench, great as that regret must necessarily be. For no man has occupied this important position who was better qualified as lawyer and jurist to fulfill its duties than the man now retiring to private life. It was known a year ago that the judge desired to retire, and few men knew that he was in ill health. But there arose such a universal demand on the part of the bar association and the people that he continue in office, that he felt constrained so to do, until at the present moment his retirement simply means the prolongation of his life. More regret will be felt because of this fact than that this brilliant jurist will immediately retire from his office. Judge Williams has been for years at the head of the Orange county bar, his practice having been large and lucrative, and his talents being such as to take him out of the state to plead important cases in distant courts. Before ascending the bench, he went to Texas and won an important victory against some of the foremost lawyers of that state. We regard him as one of the foremost lawyers in the West. He has been offered a place upon the Appellate court, and his name has even been suggested for the Supreme court, but he has put these offers aside, preferring to reside in Orange county, where his private interests are large and constantly growing. It is felt that with a year's rest his health may be restored, and his many friends will indulge the hope that this may speedily come about.

It is felt that with a year's rest his health may be restored, and his many friends will indulge the hope that this may speedily come about. That he accepted a place on the bench at a financial loss to himself is known of all men, but he was patriotic enough to cast his personal wishes aside and heed the call of the people that he ascend the bench. Now he retires because of impaired health. Those who insisted that he retain his office, despite the fact that he felt that he should retire, ought to be satisfied. His resignation will create two vacancies, for Judge West will retire at the close of his present term, after serving the people as district attorney and superior judge for twenty-eight years. Successors will be named at the primaries in August. A number of gentlemen are seeking the place made vacant by the judge's retirement. Among them, H. G. Ames, Esq., of this city, District Attorney A. P. Nelson and Deputy District Attorney Menton of Santa Ana. Governor Richardson will make the appointment. WHY THIS TELEGRAM? HOW Senator Johnson must have smiled at receipt of a congratulatory telegram from D. Eymann Huff and other gentlemen at Santa Ana for getting the so-called Johnson-Swing bill out of committee! Here is the first of May, a day or two ahead, and congress is talking of adjourning in two weeks. The impression seems to prevail at Washington that the best thing congress can do is to adjourn and go home. What has Senator Jonhson done to merit this telegram? Congress convened the first of December, and it has taken the senator five months to get this bill out of committee. What prospect is there of the measure becoming a law in the present session of congress? Why this telegram? Senator Johnson’s committee seems to be doing politics at the old stand. Some of the names appended to the telegram occasioned surprise. THE LOWLY MUTTON WHAT greater friend has mortal man than the sheep, whose myriads of flocks are fast disappearing from this western land? That this friend may one day become extinct, like the buffalo, is not beyond the range of possibility. Man awakes in the morning, throws off blankets made of wool, treads upon rugs made of the same material, dons his undergarments made of the fleece, and puts on his clothing which comes from the same source. Later on, when leaving the home, he dons an overcoat and hat which have similar derivation. He goes downstairs, breakfasts on lamb chops and has mutton roast for dinner. Everywhere surrounding his domestic economy is the sheep, which is his best friend, and which is rapidly disappearing. Shiploads of mutton are being imported from Australia, New Zealand and Argentine, and the price is high and getting higher. There is an outflow of gold for these food products, which necessarily must be continually on the increase. Great herds of sheep have almost entirely disappeared in California and the Northwest, and flocks which still remain are growing smaller. The World war did much to decimate these flocks. Prices were high, and flocks were almost exterminated. We are now paying the penalty. Later on, when leaving the home, he dons an overcoat and hat which have similar derivation.

Prices were high, and flocks were almost exterminated. We are now paying the penalty. The Department of Agriculture at Washington suggests that western farmers raise a few sheep along with their other industries. Their fleece will pay for their keep and their increase will represent profit. This is a splendid suggestion and, if it were followed, much mutton might be grown and less imported and the outflow of gold curtailed. What do the farmers of Orange county think about this? We have many farms in this county where this could be done. What does Mr. Chapman, or Mr. Bradford, or Mr. Porter think about it? A BUSINESS PROPOSITION IN THE early days there lived a bailiff in the city of Los Angeles of the name of Sepulveda, who was affable, courteous and polite and had many warm personal friends throughout the community. One day a friend of his was arrested for horse theft, and he confidentially informed the judge that if he could bring about his release without upsetting things too greatly it would mean $300 good money in the judge's pocket. His offence was condescendingly overlooked, but he was haled into a kangaroo court to have a little fun. Of course, he did not know that his arrest meant anything but real business. At the appointed hour every lawyer in town appeared in court, weighted down with a multiplicity of law books. Sepulveda stood agast, thinking his time had come. Each lawyer read from the codes and addressed the court, charging him with felony. He said he would plead his own case, and proceeded: "What is all this that I hear? Me seeking to soil the ermine of this honorable court? I say to you, perish the thought, gentlemen, I assure you it was nothing but a plain business proposition." One way of effecting governmental economy would be to find some beneficial use for red tape. The quickest way for a doctor to lose a patient is to tell her it was only a minor operation. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Cypress Notes (By W. C. MILLER) J. P. Vilhauser, who was seriously injured when his auto was struck by a southbound car at the Lincoln highway Pacific Electric crossing Thursday evening, is doing very nicely. Mr. Vilhauser's right leg, thigh and lower jaw was fractured. The Ford coupe was a complete wreck. Witnesses said that Mr. Vilhauser waited for the upbound car to pass and evidently did not see the down car approaching. The cars are scheduled to pass lower down the line, and they very seldom pass at the Lincoln crossing. Late Friday afternoon, John Harrigan, a relief pilot on the Ryan Air Passenger Service from San Diego, was forced to land just southeast of Cypress. The engine of the plane died just over Cypress, and in making the landing the pilot almost collided with an Edison power line. In avoiding the power wires, Harrigan lost control of the plane and it took a short nose dive, badly wrecking the plane and severely lacerating the pilot's face. He was picked up by Gerald Thompson and rushed to the Artesia hospital, where he was given first aid. He was able to be about the next day. Harrigan was being flying since 1915, and this is his third wreck. He was on his way to San Juan to relieve the pilot of the Los Angeles passenger plane when the accident occurred. The engine had giving trouble for the last several miles. It was not known just what was wrong. G. L. McWilliams, for many years the manufacturer of the famous McWilliams sorghum, is building a new home for the sale of his product.

He will wholesale and retail his products from his new plant. The Cypress school will hold its spring picnic at Orange County park Los Alamitos News (By DORA H.

STANLEY, Seey Farm Bureau Undertaking a statewide appeal for registration in the rural sections, Earl Houghton, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, has addressed communications to all county farm bureau presidents and publications. Mr. Houghton calls attention to the fact that there will not only be a large number of measures on the ballot of particular interest to the rural sections, but also to the fact that it is necessary for voters to be registered in order to be eligible to sign initiative petitions. The farm bureau is contemplating placing an initiative measure on the Long Beach Pilot Falls to His Death Ray Freeman Drops 500 Feet in Collapsed Airplane The Brea "Humming Bird," the smallest airplane in the world, crashed to earth at the Anaheim Elks air meet, at Brea, Saturday, carrying with it the pilot, Ray Freeman of Long Beach. Freeman fell a distance of about 500 feet, when the wings of the "Humming Bird," which was manufactured in Brea, crumpled in the air. He struck the earth on a rise of ground a short distance from the landing field, and was dead when picked up. The machine, a tiny monoplane, was demolished. Col. William Mitchell, formerly of the United States flying corps, who was to have attended the meet, was unable to be present, having been detained by a previous engagement. The plane was the one in which Colonel Mitchell was scheduled to fly at the meet. Mitchell announced several days ago that he would fly the smallest, as well as the largest, airship on the field. Harry D. Riley, Orange county automobile distributor, was the first to reach the wrecked airplane. The plane fell one-half mile south of the field. Freeman's accident occurred a few minutes before noon. With perfect weather for flying conditions, the air meet was in full swing before a large throng of spectators, when the "Humming Bird," pride of Brea aviation officials, was seen to halt in its swing above the landing field and suddenly dart toward the ground, its wings collapsed. A crowd hurried up the slope to rescue Freeman, but he apparently had been killed instantly. Coroner Brown held an inquest over the body at the Seale parlor's Fullerton, Sunday, at 1 p.m. Freeman was married. He was not a professional pilot. He had been employed in the Parker Brothers' machine shop in Long Beach. NOT CAME HOME HOSPITAL WEDNESDAYS Teagarden of Saturday, bringMrs. McGregor, oles during Mrs. the hospital.

STANLEY, Secy Farm Bureau Undertaking a statewide appeal for registration in the rural sections, Earl Houghton, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, has addressed communications to all county farm bureau presidents and publications. Mr. Houghton calls attention to the fact that there will not only be a large number of measures on the ballot of particular interest to the rural sections, but also to the fact that it is necessary for voters to be registered in order to be eligible to sign initiative petitions. The farm bureau is contemplating placing an initiative measure on the ballot relative to reapportionment. The measure will prevent the large cities from gaining control of the state legislature, and is being promoted by the rural interests. Mr. Houghton points out that unless the rural members are registered and sign this petition, it may not receive enough signatures to place it on the ballot. Sam Green, secretary of the California Dairy Council, has joined the farm bureau in this "get registered campaign," due to the fact that the oleomargarine bill has been held up by referendum and will be submitted to a proper vote in November. Mr. Green stated that in our large cities we find a registrar at the corner of every block, but in the country we usually have to remind ourselves and make a trip to the nearest registrar or to the county courthouse. "Be sure to register" is going to be a common slogan from now until the close of the campaign. NEW JERSEY FOLK TO HOLD PICNIC REUNION All who ever lived in the state are called to meet under the auspices of the New Jersey Association of Southern California for a great picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, May 8, 1926, in Sycamore Grove park.
