ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers KNOW YOUR CANDIDATE With so much heavy cannonading in the national political picture we who live in areas remote from the arena are hard put to determine just what is the wheat and what is the chaff. Many of us who come within the meaning of the "average" or "forgotten" man and are not looking for any political preferment will probably change our hidden likes and dislikes a good many times before election. This will surely happen on candidates that we do not know personally or have no friends who have a personal connection with our choice. Most of the political arguments taking place on the sidewalks these days are concerned with Mr. Roosevelt's fitness to be returned to office or whether Mr. Landon will take us along the right road. These are debatable questions and while there is no question as to where this newspaper stands we still believe that everyone is entitled to his or her belief. There are, however, one or two offices to be filled with men who most of us know, if not personally at least by close association and reputation in our community. One candidate stands out in bold relief in this regard: Thomas H. Kuchel of Anaheim, who is running for the State Assembly. His family, background and reputation are well enough known for almost every voter to at least find out whether a vote for him is in the best interests of the district. Remember that our state government is one that will affect all of us directly. Be sure it is in honest, capable hands. WORLD WAR NOW WOULD SPELL RUIN So far away seem the tumult and the shouting of the warlike hosts of Europe that we on the far-distant shores of Pacific pay them little more than casual heed. But war in Europe, which again seems ready to burst forth at any hour, would directly affect the lives of every man woman and WORLD WAR NOW WOULD SPELL RUIN So far away seem the tumult and the shouting of the warlike hosts of Europe that we on the far-distant shores of Pacific pay them little more than casual heed. But war in Europe, which again seems ready to burst forth at any hour, would directly affect the lives of every man, woman and child in America. How desperately and direfully no man dare predict. But so close-knit is the world today by material, intellectual and spiritual cables that a major shock on the other side of the world must shake us even here. Fortunate indeed was the world that no general conflagration grew out of Italy's aggression in Ethiopia. The Spanish revolution, now at white heat, is a far more sinister menace to world-peace. Europe sits in the shadows beyond the crimson glare of the fray watching with jealous, angry eyes the tide of battle. Each armed and leashed power is suspicious of its neighbor, ready to risk its national integrity, the very existence of civilization itself, in the bloody arbitration of war for trivial cause. Well may the lovers of peace, the thinkers, preachers and philosophers, raise their earnest voices in warning and appeal. Well may they pray that an American president may call the heads of the great powers of Europe to an international peace council before it is too late. Europe cannot stand another great war and America cannot afford to have her try it if there be any path of peace open to prevent it. OBSERVATIONS: HANDING INDEPENDENTS A DUSTER Oil from Columbia and Venezuela was shipped in here about six years ago free of duty. Then a small tariff of 42 cents a barrel was put on it. The oil is high grade cheaply produced. The by-products from that oil are tremendous. The big oil shots here want it. This country then went in for conserving oil here for future generations. Wells were shut down making tramps out of about three million oil workers. Their labors gave work to three million other men. Those six million men joined the ranks of the unemployed. That started the economic troubles here. But congress doesn't seem to know anything about it. Nothing is done to change it. Congressmen should step on the gas and cut in ahead of the big shot guys and try and stop them for a conference.

For many years there has been ad point of giving up the Presidency confidence and friendship. "You can work for him and me both, if you will," she began pressing his hand. "You mean you offer yourself in exchange for my idea said Randolph grimly." "I offer myself to you," Peggy, "to help guard the fate of a new country, together." "A woman's right," ree Randolph slowly, "is to cheer before politics. A man's reer, on the other hand, is reason for being, his pride, birthright—" "I can't leave Uncle Andy but it's impossible." "Peggy," said Randolph, ask me to choose between and my long devotion to the state of Virginia. Is that correct? "If you insist on stating it way, but—" "There is only one choice Randolph cut in, an uneasy tone in his voice." I choose ignial! Peggy wanted to reach our appeal, but she know him too Nothing in the world could save his decision, no matter how people's lives it shattered. As started for the door she turned back, threw her arms about gave him one final kiss. He motionless as a statue, while left. A few nights later Peggy joined an evening party on Potomac. When moonlight bathed the river in its radiant glow, Eaton found opportunity to decorate her from the group on board boat. He took her hands, put an about her waist. Peggy looked out the outline of his strong, senses-likeable face, but at the same time the echo of Randolph's words in her ears: "I choose Virgini." "John! John dear!" she wished, thinking of that fare scene. Eaton, having no sigh she was calling on and "John," enfolded her in a sur rush. "Then it's true," he cried ousely. "You do care for me—Would it make you very happy, John Eaton?" asked Peggy looking at him with a wave tenderness. Peggy's marriage to the active young Secretary of shocked Mrs. Beall's circle gratified Andrew Jackson. GIVE 'EM THE AIR An 85 year old friend of the Grass Root governor, who has acquired the Euphonic appellation of Sage of the Potato Patch, ups and tells the candidate he would chuck at least half of his advisers out the window, and he said it without shifting the chaw of terbacey from one side to the other.

MUST KEEP ON MAIN TRACK This is a democratic form of government of the people, for the people and by the people. For many years there has been advanced foibles, fancies and isms as a panacea for the ills that beset mankind. But they have all been of no use because they are class legislation, and consequently unconstitutional. MUST STAND ON YOUR OWN BOTTOM If a man get anything he must earn it by the sweat of his brow, otherwise he is a chiseler. Charity is a blessing but you should get that only when you are destitute. RUNNING ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE Over in Arizona politics are hot from the governor down. However, the weather out there is holding its own with 117 in the shade—and no shade! Failure of the only departure from the traditional policy of "no foreign entanglements" under President Wilson, has caused the United States to return to its isolation stand. This view was presented by Prof. E. C. McCormac, in the first of a series of lectures being given on the Berkeley campus of the University of California by the Committee on International Relations. "Good evening, Senator," the visitor, with a suave sword Randolph stared at him several moments before recognition cried. He had not seen Prof. La Sunderland since that time with the palmist had incited the Franklin Inn. "I may not be exactly come," said Sunderland, "but think you will change your nature as you learn my business colleagues and I have worked months in secret. The time now arrived to strike. Jacksew wavering. A million men are only the word to dissolve their ion!" "Is this the way," replied Dolph with deadly calm, "that mere principles can be twisted spell blood and rebellion?" "I know in your heart you with us," smiled Sunderland. "Tell this to your friends," said Randolph, rising.

Bow is killed government service, and Pegtrying to forget, immerses itself in the presidential aspirations of her friend and conflit, Andrew Jackson. Five is later, in 1828, Jackson is sed. Randolph finally consents his love for Peggy, but Johnson, as his political antagonist, says such a marriage will in desertion of him and his ciples. Peggy angrily storms saying she will marry Ranh anyway. CHAPTER THREE the afternoon sun was wan-ngy stood in Randolph's livoom, a pleading look on her. She had told him how she main awake all night, feeling she could never come the day of giving up the President's silence and friendship. You can work for him and for both, if you will," she begged, asking his hand. You mean you offer yourself to an exchange for my ideals," Randolph grimly. Offer myself to you," said "to help guard the future new country, together." woman's right," replied Randolph slowly, "is to choose politics." A man's caption but I'll be the first to shoot the blackguard who dares falsify my position and lead the nation into bloodshed! And I'll tell Andrew Jackson exactly where I stand!" Sunderland vanished as silently as he had come. But when Randolph stepped across the room to summon his butler a shot rang out from the garden. The senator crumpled and dropped to the floor. Peggy, worried about the mounting crest of opposition to Jackson, accepted the public report that Randolph was slightly indisposed and thought this explained his absence from the Senate. She herself attended the great Jefferson Birthday memorial celebration in Congress. The President was to give the chief address, and it was rumored that his power would be openly challenged from the floor. But Jackson had never been so forceful, so sure of himself as when he launched into the high point of his speech and called to mind the words of Daniel Webster: "When my eyes shall be turned for the last time toward the meridian sun, I hope to see, spread all over my country's flag, blazoned in the letters of light and proudly floating above land and sea: Union and Liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable!" The applause was thunderous. Jackson had won his greatest popular victory. Peggy hurried home in a happy frame of mind, but when she caught sight of Cuthbert, the servant from the Frankwithin the waiting carriage, and make sure she was safely off, while he remained to face the consequences. When the gossipers of Washington found out Peggy had accompanied Rowdy on the night of the fatal shooting, wildly distorted rumors were circulated. It was said that she had gone to keep a love tryst with him, and that while both were under the influence of alcohol, Sunderland had been killed. Finally there came to the President's office John C. Calhoun, and with him Horatio Peabody, Chairman of the Society for the Protection of Public Morals. Before he would permit either of them to speak Jackson insisted on the presence of Peggy and John Eaton. Peabody squirmed in his chair as he was asked to state specific facts of misconduct. He depended on the reports of others, he said. By the Eternal!" cried Jackson. "I bin waitin' for this moment. Now git this, Mr. Peabody, and take it back to your people. Mrs. Margaret Eaton traveled to Warrenton under my express orders to visit the late John Randolph o'Roanoke—God rest his loyal soul—an' Mr. Roderick Dow escorted her there through the request of her own husband, Mr. Secretary Eaton!" When Peabody and Calhoun left, speechless, Peggy came forward and pressed Jackson's hand. "You've won a great victory for me, Uncle Andy," she said. "But WASHINGTON SNAP-SHOOT The New York Sun's pleted survey of unemployment attracting unusual attention Washington. The reason is the first detailed study subject made since the start. The Sun finds that in 1830 were 6,000,000 unemployed 1935, of course, thousands millions of the jobless but put to work so that today would be appreciable than that. The Sun's figures have tacked, notably by the Federation of Labor who insists that somewhere 10,000,000 are unemployed Federation, however, bases upon reports from unions. These include trading trades, and even Walmart "experts" concede that a structure industry may slight progress in 1935. "Study covered all brave trade and industry, and reports from employers than 10,000,000 persons." One interesting fact is by The Sun is that even the manufacturing and cal industries employed or only 807,000 less than census listed as employ these industries. for the last time toward the meridian sun, I hope to see, spread all over my country's flag, blazoned in the letters of light and proudly floating above land and sea: Union and Liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable!" The applause was thunderous. Jackson had won his greatest popular victory. Peggy hurried home in a happy frame of mind, but when she caught sight of Cuthbert, the servant from the Franklin Inn, she stopped short in anxiety. "I wanted to see you, ma'am," he explained, "it's about Mr. Randolph o' Roanoke. They say 'e's been shot and e's dangerously ill at Warrenton Manor." Peggy waited to hear no more. Her mind working quickly, she dashed off a note to the one person she could trust in such an emergency, Rowdy Dow, asking him to meet her with a coach at nine. Rowdy was on hand with the carriage, as she knew he would be. They exchanged few words on the way. When Peggy entered the sick man's bedroom he seemed asleep, but he put out a hand, sensing her presence. "You couldn't keep me away, darling," whispered Peggy, taking a place beside him and seizing his limp fingers. "Peggy," he said, slowly gaining energy to speak, "if I hadn't been a fool all these years, this wonderful moment would never have been so perfect." Peggy glancing at the servant across the room, knew that his strength was almost gone. His hands gentle caressed him, as she pulled back a wisp of hair. "I've loved you, darling," he continued. "Only because of you have I continued an otherwise painful life. Now it's finished, but with a beautiful ending . . . you with me, at the end, to know that I love you." Tenderly they kissed. Peggy clenched her hands and held back her tears. "Smile for me," he said. She tried her best. "Now go." Knowing it was his wish, she obeyed. As she went through the doorway she fought to keep control of herself, but on John Randolph's ashen face was a smile of new and utter contentment. When Peggy reached Rowdy's Margaret Eaton traveled to Warrenton under my express orders to visit the late John Randolph o' Roanoke—God rest his loyal soul—an' Mr. Roderick Dow escorted her there through the request of her own husband, Mr. Secretary Eaton! When Peabody and Calhoun left, speechless, Peggy came forward and pressed Jackson's hand. "You've won a great victory for me, Uncle Andy," she said. "But there's just one sensible thing for me to do now." "What do you mean?" asked Jackson. "When they keep talking about me," said Peggy, "people forget the real issue of state. The one thing for me to do is 'git!'" Jackson looked at her quizzically. "Maybe you're right," he replied, "an I got the answer. How would it suit you if I made John Minister to the Court o' Spain?" Peggy stood at the rail of the sailing vessel, and beside her was John Eaton. One of the last to say farewell was Rowdy, who had been pardoned by Jackson, and who had pressed Peggy's hand could never really care for anyone else, hopeless as his suit was. Andrew Jackson looked at Peggy earnestly as he paused to say good-bye. "Maybe Spain'll git your putry smile for a while," he said, "but you heart's stayin' right here with me, to help me keep goin'." "There's a new tune," continued Jackson, "that I want you to hear. It's written by a friend o' mine named Sam Smith. He's here this afternoon and I'm a-goin' to have him and the boys play it for you." As the boat glided away the strains of "America" floated across the water. Peggy, misty-eyed, stood at the outer rail. "Good-by, John Randolph," she said to herself, her gaze fixed on the distant Capitol. John Eaton stepped to her side, and she turned to him with one of the rare smiles which only she could command. "It's a pretty tune," she said. "Isn't it, John?"

"Smile for me," he said. She tried her best. "Now go." Knowing it was his wish, she obeyed. As she went through the doorway she fought to keep control of herself, but on John Randolph's ash-en face was a smile of new and utter contentment. When Peggy reached Rowdy's side, in the driveway, a shadowy figure suddenly emerged. It had been so long since Peggy had even thought of La Roy Sunderland that she was doubly startled to see him now. She did not dream (Randolph had kept it secret) that Sunderland was the assassin attacking her loved one. But ever since that night of terrible rioting he had been an object of loathing to her. "What are you doing here?" Rowdy asked him sharply. Sunderland ignored the question and turned to Peggy. "You're a woman of means, Mrs. Eaton," he said blandly. "I am poor. It was unwise for you to come here tonight. Surely your reputation in Washington will be worth a trivial consideration." Rowdy, with an exclamation of fury, seized him by the collar. The two men struggled furiously; it was like a nightmare to the watching girl. Sunderland dropped a pistol. Rowdy picked it up, Sunderland whipped out a knife, and as he flung himself at Rowdy the latter fired. The would-be blackmailer fell to the ground, dead. At the sound people began to come from all directions. Rowdy had barely time to shove Peggy self, her gaze fixed on the distant Capitol. John Eaton stepped to her side, and she turned to him with one of the rare smiles which only she could command. "It's a pretty tune," she said. "Isn't it, John?"

The New York Sun's just-completed survey of unemployment is attracting unusual attention in Washington. The reason is that it is the first detailed study of the subject made since the depression started. The Sun finds that in 1935 there were 6,000,000 unemployed. Since 1935, of course, thousands if not millions of the jobless have been put to work so that today the figure would be appreciably lower than that. The Sun's figures have been attacked, notably by the American Federation of Labor which still insists that somewhere around 10,000,000 are unemployed. The Federation, however, bases its figures upon reports from trade unions. These include the building trades, and even Washington's "experts" concede that the construction industry made only slight progress in 1935. The Sun's study covered all branches of trade and industry, and included reports from employers of more than 10,000,000 persons. One interesting fact announced by The Sun is that even last year the manufacturing and mechanical industries employed 11,804,000 or only 807,000 less than the 1929 census listed as employable in these industries. the unemployed should be put into. The federal government has not even made acceptable estimates as to the number of jobless. As one Washington economist puts it: "A doctor wouldn't treat a patient without diagnosing his case first, yet we have been giving repeated shots in the arm to a sick patient without knowing what ails him. We even change the drug every few weeks." The secret, of course, is that the necessity of finding out the true facts about unemployment did not dawn upon some powers-that-be until this year. And then they were afraid of the political effects if such a survey were made in election year. It might show, for example, that more money was being spent on unemployment than was justified by the number of unemployed. There must be some "die-hards" around somewhere. Congress, at its last sessoln, twice rejected the idea of spending more money on the Passamaquoddy tides-harnessing project, so the work was stopped. But Washington hears that tourists who nowadays visit Passamaquoddy see a full-fledged model of the theoretical project in operation. It has push buttons and treadles, and when water flows through it the locks rise and fall and the power house lights up. The model is called an "educational exhibit." One phase of the widely-advertised World Power Conference must have impressed a lot of the illustrious visitors from foreign nations. American criticism of privately-owned utilities was long and loud that finally John C Dalton, manager of the County of London (England) Electric Supply, got to the floor and said: "Let us, for Heaven's sake, keep the politicians away from this industry of our to which we are also proud to belong. Private utilities in Great Britain are fortunately free from political violence and can rely on a square deal from the regulatory bodies." struction industry made only slight progress in 1935. The Sun's study covered all branches of trade and industry, and included reports from employers of more than 10,000,000 persons. One interesting fact announced by The Sun is that even last year the manufacturing and mechanical industries employed 11,804,000, or only 807,000 less than the 1929 census listed as employable in these industries. That, agree most Washington students, shows the absurdity of repeated demands that "industry" either put the unemployed to work or pay the taxes necessary to support them. Despite debate over the Sun's survey, it does emphasize one thing that has stood out in the last few years—since the depression began, billions have been spent to reduce unemployment, but no federal survey has yet been made to determine what jobs ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS KATE E.
