General Pershing America lost one of its most famous soldiers in the passing of General John J. Pershing. Although he gained fame in the fight against the Indians, the Moro tribesmen in the Philippines and as the leader of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, his fighting spirit was also in evidence off the battlefield. In France he fought and won the behind-the-scenes battle with the British and French military leaders who wanted our troops to be under their command as replacement units. More than a decade ago he won the fight against death when he was taken seriously ill and given up by the doctors. At one point he was not expected to live through the night. General Pershing's career was one of phenomenal success and stark tragedy. At one time he was advanced from the rank of captain to that of brigadier general in one jump, passing over 862 ranking officers. In 1915 his wife and three daughters died in a fire at the San Francisco Presidio. Although he retired from active duty nearly a quarter of a century ago he was consulted regularly during the recent war by General Marshal and it is not unlikely that his advice had much to do with some To sum up: We have a tremendous plus of politics and too little statesmanship in our government. The big cities and newspapers and politicians, and gab-folks are weakening what we call the life of our people. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution are accepted patterns for Republican-Democratic form of government. The founders were right. But we people of 1943 have gone over political issues. The south puts bogus "State Rights" ahead of the events handed down by Washington and ferson—and approved by Cleveland, Wash., and other able patriots who thumbed noses to bosses of their time.—J. E. J. National Industries News Service. 100 Million For a contraption that "would amount to anything," the automobile done pretty well. Quite a few of them been built since Duryea put together first sputtering gas buggy back in fact, the 100 millionth motor vehicle expected to roll off the assembly line time during August. In view of suchduction during the past 55 years it is possible that even the most ardent General Pershing's career was one of phenomenal success and stark tragedy. At one time he was advanced from the rank of captain to that of brigadier general in one jump, passing over 862 ranking officers. In 1915 his wife and three daughters died in a fire at the San Francisco Presidio. Although he retired from active duty nearly a quarter of a century ago he was consulted regularly during the recent war by General Marshal and it is not unlikely that his advice had much to do with some of our most important military decisions. In life, a grateful nation bestowed upon him its highest honor, the title of General of the Armies. In death, a grateful nation mourns the loss of one of its most able defenders. Enlarging the Vice-Presidency In case Dewey and Warren are elected in November the new President will unload many of the duties that now fall as a burden on the President and widen the activities and duties of the Vice-President. The preliminary arrangement for such a change has already been considered by Dewey and Warren. The Vice-President is to be promoted from his place as Presiding Officer of the Senate by adding on to his responsibilities many duties that virtually amount to making him an "operating manager." That would place the Vice-President in charge of many of the activities that come under the direction of the President. While Mr. Warren would direct many of the regular and general activities of the executive branch of the government the President would be left free to devote himself to general policies, comparable with those falling to the chairman of the board of a business firm. This would not interfere with the duties prescribed under the Constitution for the Vice-President—for instance, casting the deciding vote in the Senate in case of a tie. These are among the plans contemplated, but up-to-date they have only been discussed. If the voters select the Republican candidates those two gentlemen will have no trouble in lightening the duties of the President and increasing the activities of the Vice-President. City Bosses Rule American Politics Jimmie Roosevelt, who inherited the post as 'big Democratic boss in California arranged with other 'big bosses' in 16 states for a meeting two days before the convention to crack down on the nomination of President Truman. The big city newspapers across the land featured the story and seemed to take it for granted that the jig 100 Million For a contraption that "would not amount to anything," the automobile done pretty well. Quite a few of them been built since Duryea put together first sputtering gas buggy back in time during August. In view of such duction during the past 55 years it is possible that even the most ardent and buggy enthusiast of the 1890's will not admit that the automobile has come stay. The motor car has done a lot America. It has provided the nation good roads—and traffic jams; it has spired the building of innumerable burger stands, orange juice dispensers, road houses and comfort stalls which also sell gas; it has taken people their feet—both those who ride and those who try to cross the street; and it created millions of jobs—nearly all for pic cops, so it seems. Yes, wonderful to the automobile. Some day maybe it will possible to buy one. Truman's Strategy President Truman's plan to conduct knock-down-drag-out fight this fall will liven the political campaign but it isn't likely to change the expected final result. His dramatic move in calling Concave into session on July 26 is looked up smart strategy by many political experts could backfire, however. The President's nounced aim is to put the Republicans on defensive by demanding legislation with their platform favors, but which was passed during the recent session. This may prove embarrassing to the leaders. It may also embarrass Democrats who have found a majority of party members siding with the Republican on a good many issues. No doubt Mr. Truman is well aware of risks he is taking in calling Congress into session. But he realizes that through dramatic and drastic action can have even the faintest chance for eleven November. The decision for the congressional also may have been dictated by the condition of the Democratic party treat With little money available for costly around the country the President proclaims to get in some of his best camp licks right in Washington. At any rate, it's going to be a double summer in the nation's capital, but the vember outlook for the man from Mississippi still looks cold and bleak. City Bosses Rule American Politics Jimmie Roosevelt, who inherited the post as 'big Democratic boss in California arranged with other 'big bosses' in 16 states for a meeting two days before the convention to crack down on the nomination of President Truman. The big city newspapers across the land featured the story and seemed to take it for granted that the jig was up so far as Truman was concerned. The little bosses in states and cities, jigged and danced to Jimmie' music and performed as usual—"Me, too," stuff. Mr. Truman has been saying that Congress has failed to meet the problems of American agriculture, housing, health and education. But: If Mr. Truman has functioned half as well as Congress no one has proved it. Political job-holders in Washington joined the Pendergast crowds in defense of Mr. Truman, but the big city newspapers jumped through the hoop for 'big bosses' in New York, Chicago and elsewhere—to the tune of Prince Jimmie. The daily newspapers, radio broadcasters and the 'big bosses' drowned out the still small voices in the grasslands. There are about 3,000 counties in our broad land where family dailies and weeklies keep right on printing the news without trying to raise excitement and sensations seven days in the week. Make no mistake: Politics and political bosses rule the roosts! Family newspapers have done excellent service to Democracy in cleaning out radicals and Communists in their communities. Family papers are the backbone of American journalism today because they disapprove low grade radio programs, metropolitan bosses and subservient daily newspapers. This writer has been an active newspaper correspondent for newspapers outside the metropolitan areas here in Washington for over 30 years and this letter leads all the test in its field. Change Overdue Isn't it about time that our national litical conventions were made less populous and wearisome? Twice every fourth a couple of thousand delegates and then ternates gather in a spacious hall with thousands of spectators looking on and lions listening in. Then comes a long series of long-winded, flag-waving, eagle-screaming speeches. Orators never spoil speeches with freshness and originality; voices drone on for hours. The convening drag on for days. There are carefully placed "spontaneous" demonstrations in which lot of people who know better, yell and march and sing just as if they know better. By the time the convenants are over the delegates are exhausted—so is the radio audience. It seems to us each party conclave could easily be completed in 48 hours if the unnecessary he was cut out. Then both parties could busy sooner to carry out all the pleads they made during the convention. We Have Something of a Cold War Russian roughnecks closed the gates of Germany but that did not stop us from livering food by air—and if that does keep Stalin and Company quiet we have valuable atom supply on hand that can start a war with the Soviets before they can keep the peace—even when we have to fight for it. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago July 26, 1873 On Monday last the cornerstone of the Odd Fellows' Hall was laid with all the ceremonies usual on such occasions. Never before had the streets of Anaheim been graced with such a throng of beauty and eloquence. From eight o'clock in the morning until noon a constant stream of carriages poured in from all parts of the county, and when the ceremonies commenced it was estimated that at least two thousand people were present. At 2:30 p.m. the procession was formed at the Masonic Hall on Los Angeles street in the following order: Grand Marshal of the Grand Lodge, Isarl's Band, Marshal of Lodges, Lodge Banner, members of IOOF Lodge, Lodges of Anaheim, Los Angeles, Les Metos, G., R. of California, Grand Chaplain and Orator, Anaheim Lodge F. and A. M. The procession marched down Center to Lemon, along Lemon to Second and up second to the site of the Hall on Los Angeles street. The officiating officers took their places in a raised platform contiguous to the northeast angle of the building at the corner in which the cornerstone must be placed. The assemblage was called to order by G. M. Wartenburg, Rev. Edelman invoked the divine blessing and then P. G. John Fischer handed the articles to be placed in the stone to the Grand Treasurer M. L. Goodman who placed them in the box. The following is a list of the articles: Bylaws of the Odd Fellows building Association; list of members, Mr. S. Goldstein and E. W. Champlin went to Los Angeles yesterday as delegates to the Convention to meet at that place today. Mr. Goldstein has the proxy of D. Eney, who is unable to attend, owing to indisposition. The unpledged Democrats turned out in force last Saturday. One hundred votes were polled in Anaheim and the delegates elected were E. W. Champlin, D. Enny and S. Goldstein. We were interviewed on Thursday by our friend Gen. Phineas Banning. For the information pumped out of us we make no charge. Do not, in fact, even ask him to subscribe to the Gazette a source from which much valuable and reliable information may be derived. Messrs. Polhemus and Howard of the Los Angeles Land company left Los Angeles for San Francisco via the Overland route on Thursday morning. Active operations upon their canal will probably soon be inaugurated. Subscription books have been opened in Los Angeles for the purpose of establishing and operating an oil refinery. Messrs. Temple Beaudry, Austin, Nollenstein and Capt. Haley have subscribed amounts varying from $1000 to $5000. Enough stock has already been taken to commence operations at a very early date. Mr. E. A. Saxton is erecting a handsome residence. Judging from A nation that "would never bring," the automobile has quite a few of them have Duryea put together the gas buggy back in 1893.

July 26, 1923 One of the severest shocks of earthquake experienced in Anaheim within the memory of the oldest inhabitant occurred at 11:30 o'clock Sunday night. The shock lasted fifteen minutes and was preceded by a waring noise and a series of sharp cracks. No damage was reported. The center of the disturbance appeared to be at St. Andrew's fault, in San Bernardino county. Sunday was a day of peculiar occurrences here. Late in the afternoon a brilliant rainbow appeared in the east and hung in the sky for a quarter of an hour. Just at dark a slight shower of rain fell, an unusual occurrence for July. Later in the night brilliant lights in the eastern sky could not be accounted for. Then came the earthquake, but it is not presumed that the other phenomenon had any connection with the quake. ton Beach has entered into contract with the transportation company for the delivery of lumber.

An effort is being made to change the itinerary of President Harding on his suburban tour after landing from the vessel bringing him down from the north and having him and his party pass through Anaheim.
