MAKING YOUR CHOICE Many a gust of hot wind will sweep over California before the elections next Tuesday. Many a heated argument will take the place of cold reasoning. Fanned by a stiff breeze of intolerance, many a temper will rise to the boiling point on many a street corner. But, as we jot down these thoughts and you sit down to read them, let us strip the veneer off the political situation and try to arrive at a sensible solution. We'll air our opinions in public. You'll write yours secretly at the polls on Tuesday. The Crossroads of Government In the gubernatorial contest we might just as well realize from the opening sentence that Californians will write history with an indelible pencil in choosing between the traditional American form of government which arises from the belief that government is a servant of the people, and the Sinclair conception of the people as servants of government. Of course, there is a lot of blather about programs, about care of the hungry and destitute, about providing work for everybody by some fantastic scheme which has been tried out innumerable times but never in history has worked. There was considerable discussion, our history books tell us, about pros and cons of liberating the negro slaves in the South. The good old American principle, however, decreed that it was better the negro should give up the security of food and shelter provided by his master in order to gain freedom from the auction block. In principle, the same question arises in the race between Governor Frank F. Merriam and Socialist-Usurper Upton Sinclair. Under one you retain the right to choose your profession, you about programs, about care of the hungry and destitute, about providing work for everybody by some fantastic scheme which has been tried out innumerable times but never in history has worked. There was considerable discussion, our history books tell us, about pros and cons of liberating the negro slaves in the South. The good old American principle, however, decreed that it was better the negro should give up the security of food and shelter provided by his master in order to gain freedom from the auction block. In principle, the same question arises in the race between Governor Frank F. Merriam and Socialist-Usurper Upton Sinclair. Under one you retain the right to choose your profession, you keep the privilege and opportunity of bettering your conditions. Under the other you go a long way toward forfeiting your present inalienable rights guaranteed by our grand old constitution. And what do you get in return? The assurance of regimentation into every phase of your existence—and, what is far less than you might expect, the promise of economic security by supplying from governmental warehouses the bare necessities of life. Nobody with an iota of understanding of our people and our government will for a minute believe that Upton Sinclair can achieve all the drastic changes in government and set up his dream structure. But the principle remains — are you going to vote to keep the kind of opportunities our forefathers shed their blood for, or are you going to vote to sacrifice your ideals of individual liberty for a glittering promise of a dreamland paradise which, from its very nature, must turn out to be a nightmare instead? There is some discussion of voting for Raymond Haight, the commonwealth-progressive candidate. No question but what he is a fine young man with the ability to be a good governor. It is unfortunate for him, however, that the main issue this election is not like ordinary elections, because in that event choice at the polls largely means a choice between individuals. On November 6, the choice is not between individuals, but between actual and uncompromising principles of government. No matter how friendly you feel toward Haight, you cannot vote for him without facing the fact that you are shirking the main issue of the campaign, and merely adopting a subterfuge to hide behind. Let us meet the issue squarely, and bravely. The Gazette believes in the fundamental soundness of Californians and in the principle of government which permitted us to progress to the forefront of modern civilization. In addition, we believe in Frank Merriam, a remarkably sound and progressive man who has the supremely good common sense to let people make up their own minds and carry out their own business without trying to tell them every move to make. His record of 16 years in state government is 100 per cent for the farmer; his action in assuring the movement of perishable crops despite “red” agitators certainly commends him to Orange county growers; his espousal of the federal reapportionment act which gives rural counties control of the state senate was in the interests of the whole state and particularly to the farmer; as speaker of he assembly he cast the deciding vote to break the tie in the oleomargine law, another big boost for farmers. In fact, his record, while not dramatic, is constructive, and what we want is constructive government. We are voting for Merriam and Hatfield. Ted Craig, A Real Leader Somewhat the same issue evolves in the assembly race. Edward (Ted) Craig of Brea, as a representative of constitu- certainly commends him to Orange county growers; his espousal of the federal reapportionment act which gives rural counties control of the state senate was in the interests of the whole state and particularly to the farmer; as speaker of he assembly he cast the deciding vote to break the tie in the oleomargine law, another big boost for farmers. In fact, his record, while not dramatic, is constructive, and what we want is constructive government. We are voting for Merriam and Hatfield. Ted Craig, A Real Leader Somewhat the same issue evolves in the assembly race. Edward (Ted) Craig of Brea, as a representative of constitutional government, has rendered yoeman service for Orange county in the state assembly. Opposing him is Sinclair's Epic candidate, C. R. Allen of Fullerton. Contrast the ability of the two men as shown in governmental service. Craig secured for Orange County a second assemblyman in the reapportionment several years ago, and proved highly instrumental in shaping the course of congressional districts within the state, tieing Orange county up with Riverside and San Bernardino counties instead of the prearranged plan to put this county with San Diego, where the overwhelming vote of the city would dominate the entire district. As a consequence, we have Sam Collins in he national congress, instead of some politician from San Diego. Allen like practically all of Sinclair's Epic candidates, has had no experience in governmental affairs. Because of his outstanding achievements in the legislature, especially in economic readjustments in which he has taken a leading part, Ted Craig looms as the choice of speakership, should he be re-elected. This position is one of the most important in state government and must deal largely with solving tax and budget problems and find a way to raise money to meet the tremendous state deficit piled up through four years of depression. Send Ted Craig to the assembly again, resting assured that you have made a wise choice. A Question of Efficiency Coming to Orange county selections, we at last leave the Sinclair issue strictly alone. In the contest for district attorney we have the choice between two good men, one of whom has proven his worth in office, the other trying to get into office by making a mountain out of a molehill. S. B. Kaufman's record as district attorney since appointment by the board of supervisors upon resignation of Sam Collins to accept election as congressman from the 19th district is one of remarkable achievement. Efforts have been made to cast aspersions upon his enforcement of gambling laws. As a matter of fact, not till he took office did any district attorney of California find a way to permanently stop gambling ships from cavorting off the Stand Fast —America! By Den Walters CONSTANT peril and discomfort was the daily lot of those courageous men and women who founded America! Lurking savages and wild beasts threatened them in their lonely log cabins. Uncomfortable corn-husk mattresses, candles or crude oil lamps, food from gardens and patches of grain literally "hewn" out of the wilderness, heat for all purposes by open fireplaces or inconvenient wood stoves, clothing hand woven and hand sewed—this was life in America in the early days. But these pioneers "stuck together"! They originated the "town meeting"—fore-runner of our present system of elections. They ALL attended these meetings—and they ALL voted! Today—even those of the most modest income, have electric lights, gas heat, radios, automobiles, telephones, attractive homes. But today—America faces new perils that threaten our homes and our very existence as a nation! Communism is organizing here in an effort to overthrow our Government by force and violence. Visionaries and radicals are trying to get control of our affairs through election to official positions. We, in America, TODAY must rally to the colors. Important national organizations are warning us that we must act together NOW—if the liberty we value so highly is to be preserved. E. R. West, President of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce; Ed. Hayes, National Commander of the American Legion and Michael F. Shannon, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks—these are only a few of the national leaders who are issuing solemn warnings to us all—based on their knowledge of actual facts regarding Communist YOUR HEALTH Contributed by DR. CARL SCHULTZ Dr. Schultz will answer all questions concerning health and diet. Address all letters to him in care of this paper and enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for his reply. Naturopathy Having had an opportunity to study almost all classes of therapy (treatment of the sick) I feel qualified to say something in connection with treatment by naturopathy. In my experience as a practising physician... earlier in my training in the health centers of Europe... I have, I believe, found the secret of good health. When I write this I believe that I am only stating the truth when I repeat that I believe I have found the secret of good health and if I can impart even a part of the secret to many of your readers... then I will feel that this newspaper column is worth the space given to it in your paper. Let me tell you... within a few short months I will have passed my eighty-fifth birthday... am busy every day with my practice and my writing, and with my efforts in teaching others how to live. Therefore, when I write about naturopathy... or any other method of healing... I feel that I can qualify to speak. Naturopathy... the science of helping the body to help itself... is not new... is as old as life itself, and has been practised by almost all peoples and all races from earliest times. Our bodies are wonderful things... probably better designed for the purpose intended than any machine made by man. Our bodies are intended to function under most adverse conditions; the extremes of climate from knife shores of this county and milching the public out of millions of dollars in crooked games of chance. As soon as this major issue was settled, he took up other gambling rackets and now has the county free of such unsavory pastimes. For the first time in the history of Orange county, the gun clubs are on the run on the issue of pumping water to attract wild game birds. Every district attorney Orange county ever had was called upon to fight the battle of the farmers, but not till Kaufman took office could an ordinance be devised which would meet constitutional requirements and stop waste pumping. The ordinance under which a permanent injunction now is sought to halt pumping by gun clubs was drawn at the personal direction of District Attorney S. B. Kaufman. This action alone should win the everlasting gratitude of farmers of this county. But that is not all Kaufman has done. His record of convictions in the courts is one of the highest in state history, and has won unstinted praise from law enforcement agencies throughout California. The main issue brought up by Candidate B. Z. McKinney is that of private practice—a practice which has been in force since the organization of the county. McKinney tries to show that private practice in the district attorney's office is costing the county a great deal of money, and pledges himself to discontinue it if elected. Look the issue squarely in the face. In actual practice, Kaufman has turned private practice into a public benefit. He believes that the people in this county, when they cannot afford to pay legal fees, have the right to legal advice, and so really has inaugurated, might be termed a "free legal clinic" to care for these cases. As a precaution, he prohibits any case being handled which would interfere with regular business of the office. Of course, there are some persons who get legal advice who are able to pay for it. Naturopathy... the science of helping the body to help itself... is not new... is as old as life itself, and has been practised by almost all peoples and all races from earliest times. Our bodies are wonderful things... probably better designed for the purpose intended than any machine made by man. Our bodies are intended to function under most adverse conditions; the extremes of climate from knife like cold of the arctic to the frying heat of the tropics. That is nature, and our bodies being natural, they provide for all such extremes. However, our physical beings were never intended to provide for the UN-natural, and by that I mean a great many of the abuses that women and men heap upon themselves. How many times have you heard, "She is a very sick woman... she can't eat," and how many times have you heard, "He is much better... he took nourishment today?" Yet when your old hound dog is sick he gives up food and you do not compel him to eat, and, if you watch him carefully you may find that he will go for three or four days without food. That ol' hound dog of yours is practising naturopathy... letting his body with all its wonderful means treating itself, work for itself. Of course I do not intend to compare you to a hound dog, but it is a simple and understandable illustration. The dog has never had the doubtful benefit of a certain type of professional advice... so he depends on nature... and feels beneficial results by going on a fast. Now I have said above... I do not compare ourselves to a dog... and in that respect we can go the dog much better because we can help nature to help ourselves. That is what I mean by the science of naturopathy. Everyone of us, if we have the common sense of the ol' hound dog, can help ourselves. Naturopathy is nothing that is not understandable to the average person... it is the most simple thing in the world... just the science of letting nature help itself... of letting the body care to a great degree for itself... the remainder to be done by you, and by a physician skilled in helping the body to help itself, It would be useless to try to tell you that you do not need a doctor. Do not over estimate the value of home treatments. They work out favorably in many instances; but, you should always have the advice of a reputable physician if you are not certain of just how to proceed in connection with home the organization of the county. McKinney tries to show that private practice in the district attorney's office is costing the county a great deal of money, and pledges himself to discontinue it if elected. Look the issue squarely in the face. In actual practice, Kaufman has turned private practice into a public benefit. He believes that the people in this county, when they cannot afford to pay legal fees, have the right to legal advice, and so really has inaugurated, might be termed a "free legal clinic" to care for these cases. As a precaution, he prohibits any case being handled which would interfere with regular business of the office. Of course, there are some persons who get legal advice who are able to pay for it, and some money is made by deputies in this way. But a large proportion of the cases mentioned by Kaufman's opponent are handled with no charge by the deputies and therefore really is an added service to people of the county which the district attorney is not under law forced to contribute. McKinney evidently would prohibit this free legal service. OBSERVATIONS IT'S ONLY A DREAM The candidate for governor on the democratic ticket advances some lurid and ridiculous reasons why he should be elected governor, so that he may be enabled to help the down trodden and depressed. For instance, in his issue of Oct. 8, he says: "If we can get the United States dollars, we shall be delighted to use them. We shall give the various federal relief and loan agencies every opportunity to supply us with United States dollars for the purpose of establishing our Epic plan." That sounds rosy, Mr. Candidate, but where in Heaven's name, is your security? Further along in the candidate's article, he makes this assertion: "We are going to give work to our unemployed and they are going to produce goods and they are going to make them available to themselves in the simplest way that they may find." But Mr. Candidate who will furnish the money to produce them? The Epic Candidate for governor, further says: "We will give these unemployed farmers warehouse receipts for their goods and make these receipts exchangeable for taxes and credit at our Epic stores." That theory is fallacious and a lot of folderol.. Would the county tax collector take those warehouse receipts for payment of county taxes? He would not! ! Further along in his narrative the democratic candidate for governor, said this: "Our warehouse receipts would be accepted by our banks." Wait a minute, Mr. Candidate, what bank would accept those warehouse receipts. That surely is deceptive, to make such a statement. The candidate makes the further astounding statement, "that bank would accept these warehouse receipts as checks, which circulate quite freely as currency." That is sheer nonsense. COFFEE CHATTER The democratic nominee for governor in seeking remedies to help the downtrodden, in his Epic News, offers this highly interesting, but absurd, statement: "Of course it is perfectly possible that we may perform some barter activities. We will perform them at any time, that we happen to find them more convenient. We can not grow coffee in California, but we can produce oil, and if our people should find that they can exchange a shipload of oil for a shipload of coffee from some country in Central America, why should they not do it." Any country down there that needed oil could step over to its next door neighbor, and get all the oil it needs for one-third less in price than the article produced here. ACID TEST The democratic candidate for governor, who by the way has been classed as a socialist for many years, prints in his Epic News the following: "But suppose they (meaning the United States and the various federal and loan agencies) won't give or lend enough dollars and suppose the bankrupt taxpayers of California won't vote the bonds—are the unemployed people of California to sit and starve to death? My guess is that they won't and I shall certainly not advise them to." Now, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, study that remark carefully. It is more revolutionary than constructive.

The zanjero was instructed to commence work thereon next Monday. The zanjero reports that the ditch on Edward's land had been constructed and altered to the satisfaction of all parties. He then presented bill for labor on Greely ditch, and Edwards' ditch, amounting to $17.45, which was ordered paid. The commissioner reported that the flume is drying some and that gophers were commencing to damage the ditch, on account of its being left dry. He was instructed to keep a little water running in the flume for protection. Mr. McGuffie presented bill for damages to his potatoes by overflow of ditch for $100, which was referred back to him. I. W. Clark, road master, appeared before the meeting and desired the company to make a bridge on road in front of C. Hille's place, over their ditch, as Continued Next Week THE BOOK the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible," and which contains Four Great Treasures by BRUCE BARTON PAUL WRITES A MESSAGE The work was going well everywhere, even in Thessalonica! And they hoped Paul would come back! Eagerly Paul called for parchment and, with Timothy as a volunteer stenographer, he dictated a letter to send back to Thessalonica. He told them how he had left with his two companions, but on reaching Athens had changed his mind and sent Silas and Timothy back: Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you. It almost killed him to think that they might have forsaken their faith. But they had not; they were standing fast. But when Timotheus came from us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: Therefore, brethren, we are comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. So he dictated, fast as Timothy could write, and sent the letter by a messenger going north from Corinth. He put in sundry exhortations, a little doctrinal teaching, and started the message forth on its eventful journey. He did not know that he had begun a new Bible. He never suspected that this impetuously composed first letter to the Thessalonians was to be the first volume in a sacred library. But it was; and that is the way the New Testament began. He had to write a second letter to the Thessalonians to answer some questions growing out of the first one: These letters were lent to near-by churches and copied and read to the congregations. Paul heard how widely they were used and so he wrote more and more. He had learned to supplement the living voice with the written page. If he were at work today he would not only preach; he would be a regular contributor to the press. After eighteen months in Corinth he went back to Jerusalem and gave account of his second missionary journey. He had a string of new churches through Asia Minor, Macedonia and Greece. He had developed his method, and he was happy in the knowledge of a great success. He learned that in Galatia, in Asia Minor, where he had established churches, he had been followed by fundamentalists who were telling the people that Paul was not really an apostle; that he possessed no real authority; that the good news was defective because he did not teach the Mosale law.
