ON THE LOOKOUT in and about Anaheim with Lowell E. Jessen
Buzzing around again
Orange county's bumper crop this year is politicians.
They're as thick, so it seems, as whiskers in Russia; but, sober as we try to be, we cannot take this popular race for sheriff too seriously. When eight candidates are in the field the issues are like last year's valenclas—mostly small sizes.
When the electors get through culling the crop in the August primaries, we'll find the two strongest candidates and settle down to determine which is the better. Just why the contest for sheriff is the most popular is a mystery. Maybe the reason will appear during the course of the primary campaign. In the meantime, we can devote our attention to some of the other offices.
Call of the wild
When folks in the cities begin to swaltier, and the trout in mountain streams begin to strike, Mr. Average Citizen's mind slips away from mundane cares and views with pleasure a delightful mirage of creeks, tree tops gently swayed by a cool breeze, and the luscious odor of boiling coffee after a hard day trekking along creek banks. Those who don't care for the mountains take a mental stroll to the seaside where they leaf on the hot sands, take an occasional plunge, and eat hot dogs.
Either way, the effect is the same—a vacation from duty.
Evidence that Anaheim men folks are looking forward to vacation is seen on every hand. Business folk get in a huddle and live over, again and again, their past trips to the seashore or mountainous retreats, and anticipate with unceased joy their contemplated two weeks from business cares.
In this way the "big guns" use the very weapon developed by the people for their self protection—the law—to defeat the purpose of the law. Technicalities have prevented many a murderer from hanging, prevented many a deserved harsh prison sentence, and have so hindered the progress of justice that justice today is fully a quarter of a century behind times.
Infringement on the people's rights, unless stopped by energetic measures such as the newspapers of Chicago are fostering now, eventually will lead to the citizens taking the law into their own hands. Just as vigilante committees of years ago operated in Western cities.
Gangsters rule by force. Any person stepping too far into their territory is "taken for a ride" because "dead men won't talk." And the gang leaders like Al Capone, after milching the public for millions of dollars and spilling blood on nearly every street in Chicago, take up residence elsewhere to "lead a quiet and peaceful life."
Capone and his ilk must pay the price of justice before large American cities are free of graft and murder, and a respectable place for decent citizens to live. This is not Chicago's fight alone; opposition to gangster tactics must become so deep-rooted in America that imported lawlessness will suffer a violent death.

Ministerial President Announces Program for Ten Sundays of Evening Worship
Joint services by nine local Protestant churches, to begin Sunday evening, June 29, at 7:30 o'clock, will be held for ten successive Sundays in the Anaheim City Park, according to announcement made this week by Rev. Edward Burgl, president of the Ministerial association of this city.

Bad men of today
Bad men of the Wild and Wooley West, who were so successfully subdued by militant vigilantes, have a more vicious successor today.
The two-gun man of yesterday, whom old timers in Orange county can remember well, made a lot of noise but not quite the same kind of trouble that is found in such metropolitan centers as the Windy City. The gangster, cold-blooded creature who gets "fat" on lawless and immoral "business" methods, had to be imported. There wasn't enough downright meanness in the bad men of yesterday to compare with the gangster of today. The two-gun man was open about his dealings—he went into the saloon and held up its patrons, stuck up the stages, and other acts that required a certain amount of courage. He generally had a sense of decent treatment of his victims. He didn't particularly want to hurt the poor, but he thought that taking riches of the rich was fair bounty. Of course, that rule didn't always hold true, but it did in the majority of cases.
The bad men of Chicago, however, are an entirely different breed. They take part in politics, organize all the hoodlums in their control, and demand the appointment of men who will be susceptible to their wishes. Also, they buy their way into favor, corrupting government officials and under the guise of honest men rob the citizens, rich and poor alike.
They conduct red light districts, bootleg joints, and demand a "slice" of all illegal transactions they can secure by hook or crook.
Crime in Chicago is organized like a big business. The leaders themselves do not often do the actual killing, but order their subordinates to perform the joint services by nine local Protestant churches, to begin Sunday evening, June 29, at 7:30 o'clock, will be held for ten successive Sundays in the Anaheim City Park, according to announcement made this week by Rev. Edward Burgi, president of the Ministerial association of this city.
As each pastor, on behalf of his church, takes over his services for the evening, he will be responsible for furnishing a pianist, song leader, choir, ushers and somebody to collect the special offering. The ten-week program, with name of minister, church, and dates of services follows:
June 29, Thomas H. Walker, First Presbyterian; July 6, L. T. Barkman, Calvary Baptist; July 13, Bernard Voll, German Methodist; July 20, C. H. S. Hunziker, Grace Lutheran; July 27, C. C. Root, First Christian; August 3, O. R. Schroeder; Bethel Baptist; August 10, H. L. Thatcher, Wesley Methodist, South; August 17, Edward Burgi, Salem Evangelical; August 24, open date, and August 31, R. W. Lee, White Temple Methodist.
Boykin Equips for Auto Accessories
George Boykin, who last week opened the Boykin Electric Service at 156 South Los Angeles street, this week announced that he rapidly is equipping his plant to handle practically every line the United Motors Service, composed of such well known automotive accessories as Deleco-Remy, Klaxon, AC, Delco Batteries, North East, etc., produces.
Mr. Boykin and Paul McShane, who is associated with the former Pasadena automotive expert, have had years of experience in the electrical equipment on automobiles. They specialize in generator repairs, in batteries and fix up all makes of accessories on automobiles.
"I find that Anaheim is one of the busiest centers for its size, in Southern California," Mr. Boykin said this week."When I first came here I believed that there was need here for a firm to repair United Motors Service products, and to furnish factory parts. Since opening here I more than ever am firmly convinced that we can offer an unexcelled service to motorists of this district."
