Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! (Continued From Page 1) is supposed to be a days work! But they should have tried newspapering, then those would be about the regular working hours, not once, but month in and month out. I have worked for years at a stretch until 12, one, two or three o'clock at night, starting at eight o'clock in the morning. the country as business grew more and more wealthy under war's synthetic profits and the "day of liberation," presumably under the republican party, seemed to approach. We quote Mr. Whitney further at some length: "Within the past 18 months I have talked with businessmen from the east to the west coast, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. I have been greatly disturbed by the universality and the positiveness of the opinions expressed that there will be little hope for private enterprise after the war unless government is forced to withdraw from participation in what we have traditionally regarded as private economic activities. That objective of the postwar aims of many able men is so contrary to what I believe to be desirable and indeed inevitable" IN THE DAY OF LONG AGE Extracts from file Quarter Century History in Print and Orange County 25 Years December 4 Extracts from a citorial of this date): One of the adminisagents sets forth tha what the country w abandon political palect for president a above party policies that never before in this country was th demand for another ident who presents superman who can country an administraly separated from peociples. — The counof the exalted ego The American people not want a Presidenobsession that he i the party and the elected him, but tha on that sort of an e seeks to override o trol and dominate leadership. We have domination of polititions by candidates holders. The time have leaders in this do not attempt to is supposed to be a days work! But they should have tried newspapering, then those would be about the regular working hours, not once, but month in and month out. I have worked for years at a stretch until 12, one, two or three o'clock at night, starting at eight o'clock in the morning. Many, many times I have worked two and three days and nights without stopping because we thought the show had to go on and the world seemed to be resting on the shoulders of that particular newspaper. The longest shift I ever worked without going to bed was from Monday morning until 11 o'clock Friday night of the same week, five days and four nights. It's not so bad after the first night or two, if you've never tried it. I figure that in the 38 years I have been in the newspaper business I have worked at least 59 years, based on the 8-hour working day. What for, I don't know, except that when printing ink gets into your blood stream you seem to want to do the things that can't be done. Everybody, I suppose, realizes by now that we are not "going back" to very many of the outmoded economic and political practices that have invariably led this country into periods of prosperity, then depression, then war, with much individual suffering and poverty even during the periods of so-called prosperity. But if you talk about the situation you get in bad with the group that brands everybody as a Communist who would like to see the situation improve. So, to take some of the curse off of myself I am reproducing an editorial from the Marshfield (Ore.) Coos Bay Times which quotes no less an authority than Dr. Nathaniel R. Whitney, economist for the Procter and Gamble company, who confirms some of the things I have been trying to say. Incidentally, I lived in Marshfield, Oregon, at the outbreak of World War I, and was with the opposition paper 'when Mike and Dan Maloney who came here and founded the former Santa Ana Times, were then owners of the Coos Bay Times. The editorial from that newspaper follows: In the grist of corporate publications coming to the editor's desk appears currently an intelligent monograph, "Business and Government." "We have learned through dozens of experiences during the years of depression and of war that there are many situations which cannot be satisfactorily dealt with by the efforts of private individuals alone. In fact it seems to me, the greatest discovery of our generation, from an economic point of view, has been the recognition of the possibility of using the State for organizing our cooperative efforts for the achievement of objectives beyond the reach of any individual efforts. It is unfortunate that unnecessary animosities have so beclouded the national scene that so much of the most intelligent opinion in the country has not yet grasped the significance of this discovery. "Free enterprise cannot survive unless it uses the resources and machinery of government without reluctance when an economic task beyond its own capacity presents itself. We can no longer say, with respect to a bad economic situation, 'We will do nothing; let nature take its course.' Bad economic situations must be corrected promptly by private enterprise alone, by public enterprise alone, or by private and public enterprise in cooperation. "The possibility of a stronger nation and a happier world after the war depends upon the acceptance by both government and business of the fact that private and public enterprise are not rivals but inevitable partners." This newspaper must continue to say much in similar vein because it believes a moderate, tolerant, understanding view between so-called "business" and "government" imperative to the modern day and the vast problems of the postwar period. We shall continue to look with disfavor on those political or business leaders from the east to the west coast, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. I have been greatly disturbed by the universality and the positiveness of the opinions expressed that there will be little hope for private enterprise after the war unless government is forced to withdraw from participation in what we have traditionally regarded as private economic activities. That objective of the postwar aims of many able men is so contrary to what I believe to be desirable and indeed inevitable that it seems to me national consideration and discussion of the proper relationship of government and business is of the utmost urgency. We need closer rather than more distant relations between government and business.

Incidentally, I lived in Marshfield, Oregon, at the outbreak of World War I, and was with the opposition paper 'when Mike and Dan Maloney who came here and founded the former Santa Ana Times, were then owners of the Coos Bay Times. The editorial from that newspaper follows: In the grist of corporate publications coming to the editor's desk appears currently an intelligent monograph, "Business and Government Cooperation for Postwar Prosperity." (Government bureau are by no means the sole offenders in over-planting editors' desks with the hope that a few seeds will germinate and grow. Business puts out a plethora of propaganda, usually better-printed and more costly than government.) The monogram is by Nathaniel R. Whitney, economist for the Procter and Gamble company. He writes with a clear mind and without a scintilla of acrimony and fluff which so unfortunately accompanies the outpourings of the "representatives of business." Whitney frankly admits that our "national economic policy may be said to have three aims—to abolish poverty, to diminish unemployment, and to reduce inequality." He wisely adds: "These results cannot be accomplished by either business or government alone. We need private enterprise to preserve democracy and we need the help of government to preserve private enterprise." Such statements may seem the epitome of the obvious—as we think they are—but their reiteration is highly important in the fast-approaching post-war days. This newspaper has been much disturbed by the plethora of "free enterprise" statements, pervading This newspaper must continue to say much in similar vein because it believes a moderate, tolerant, understanding view between so-called "business" and "government" imperative to the modern day and the vast problems of the postwar period. We shall continue to look with disfavor on those political or business leaders who see only in "free enterprise"—business with the brakes off and no bureaucrats around—the hope of America. In truth, economic affairs in this country, from the first patent law, to the first tariff, to the initial public utility regulation, ad infinitum, have been affected with a public interest, and the question no longer is, shall business be controlled, but only when, where and how. The "inevitable partnership" of which Mr. Whitney writes, is the fairminded approach which will enable the American nation to progress; the stand-up-and-slough-it-out viewpoint is communistic when applied to government's attitude and productive of nothing but ultimate failure when held by business. TO LEAVE FOR VACATION IN MEXICO CITY Fred Tuffree and family of Placentia plan to leave about December 7 for a visit and vacation in Mexico City where they will remain for several weeks. Although he isn't being sent by the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Tuffree says that he expects to get in a few boosts for southern California while a guest of our southern neighbors. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago December 4, 1919 Extracts from a Gazette editorial of this date): One of the administration's press agents sets forth the theory that what the country needs is to abandon political parties and select for president a man who rises above party policies. The truth is that never before in the history of this country was there a lighter demand for another personal president who presents himself as a superman who can promise the country an administration entirely separated from permanent principles. — The country is weary of the exalted ego in politics. — The American people not only do not want a President who has the obsession that he is bigger than the party and the people who elected him, but they are fed up on that sort of an executive who seeks to override congress, control and dominate all political leadership. We have had too much domination of political organizations by candidates and by office holders. The time has come to have leaders in this country who do not attempt to be dictators, 50 Years Ago December 6, 1894 At this time last year our rainy season was about over. We had 13.01 inches altogether during the year, but only 2.04 inches fell after the 1st of January. The year was "dry" although an abundance of rain fell, had it fallen at the proper season, to have yielded bountiful crops. This year the nations have held off to a more auspicious time and there is every indication that the down pour will usher in a rainy season that will surpass in all respects in point of wealth-producing features, any we have hitherto had. The first drops of the precipitation were felt early on Tuesday evening, and the gathering storm clouds portended a heavy downpour during the night. At 10 o'clock there was quite a sprinkle and at 3 o'clock yesterday morning the rain commenced and has kept up with but slight intermissions until this writing Wednesday afternoon. The precipitation up to 5 o'clock last evening, according to Herman Dickel's gauge was .92 inches. The wind was from the (More 25 Years Ago) last Thursday evening in honor of three newlywed couples living in the apartments. Forty-five guests were present. Superintendent Wallop has a force of men engaged in laying a pipe line on East Orangethorpe Avenue for the water company. George Bauer has moved to Cucamonga and for the present is making his home with his brother E. C. Bauer. Rev. Father Dubble came down from Santa Maria the first of the week and spent a few days greeting his numerous friends here. Father Dubble has a warm place in his heart for Anaheim where he spent many years as head of St. Boniface's church and always receives a warm welcome from its citizens irrespective of their church affiliations. Mrs. Anne Everhardy of Los Angeles spent the past week in Anaheim as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider. (More 50 Years Ago) and the coffee mill tacked on to the rear of Hank Stough's blacksmith shop. Mrs. King and daughter have returned from their trip to Canada, bringing back with them Mrs. Minor's oldest daughter, Naomi. Frank Smythe has been confined to his home for some weeks past with an attack of typhoid fever. Beebe & Co. have opened a candy kitchen in the Metz block on Center street and will keep on hand a line of freshly made candies, which we can testify to are as fine as any.

We have had too much domination of political organizations by candidates and by office holders. The time has come to have leaders in this country who do not attempt to be dictators, and who do not profess to be so far above the common level that they must be regarded as omniscient and infallible. No man is big enough to run this country alone. — No man is greater or wiser than many men. No man should be made President of the United States who believes that such an election makes him so much greater and wiser than those who elect him that he need no longer give consideration to the opinions of anyone but himself. — The next President should be a team-worker, who will respect the limitations of his own authority and pay due regard to the perogatives of other departments of the government, who will not turn his back upon the great organization of public opinion which chooses him not as its loss, but as its representative. — Then only may we expect to escape from the chaos into which party and public affairs have fallen. — This country is weary of political redeemers. — It wants a plain ordinary human being in the presidency of the United States and in every other place of great public responsibility. After nearly seven years of something so different, how could it be otherwise. Mrs. Amalie Frohling, Anaheim's oldest citizen measuring her years of residence here, was married in this city on November 24, 1859. Her sixtieth wedding anniversary fell on Monday of last week.

The precipitation up to 5 o'clock last evening, according to Herman Dickel's gauge was .92 inches. The wind was from the northeast at 6 o'clock and indications were favorable for the rain to continue during the night. Fred Lewis has resigned his position as driver of the street car and has been succeeded by Billy Woods. Billy lets the car run off the track once in awhile to make it interesting, and the other day one of the little mules ran away, but he has the making of a good driver in him, and will no doubt make a success of his new job. Mr. Louis Ledger, brother of Mrs. L. C. Bailey, arrived in town on Monday evening from Galesburg, Illinois, accompanied by his wife and child.

Since the death of Mr. Reiser several items have appeared as to the number of the original settlers of Anaheim still in the land of the living. All of the accounts leave out Mr. Gunther and Mr. Kroeger who were of the original settlers, and who with the names of the other pioneers given make the fifth and sixth of the number who have survived the years of hardship and privation of the earlier times to find themselves with a comfortable competency as the nightfall of life gathers about them. These original settlers are Mr. Zeyn, Mr. Langenberger, Mr. Werder, Mr. Lorenz, Mr. Gunther and Mr. Kroeger, all of them well along in years but each of them active in their business affairs and good for many more years of usefulness in our midst. The others have passed on to their reward on high.
