Narcotic Traffic Menace BY HENRY C. MACARTHUR WESTERN NEWS SERVICE Despite all of the propaganda against "dope," narcotics remain a first-class menace in California, according to officials of the Division of Narcotic Enforcement, State Department of Justice. Even innocently, public officials may contribute to the growth of the traffic, the Division indicated in its report to Governor Earl Warren this month by citing three cases where narcotics were growing on public property. The first was in Bakersfield, where inspectors received a tip that the marihuana traffic was increasing. Marihuana is the leaf of a plant, rolled, after drying, into a cigarette. It is a dangerous narcotic. Investigation in Bakersfield revealed the marihuana was growing in a public park, so the narcotic inspectors made short shift of the plants, unrooting them and destroying them in garbage disposal pits. The Division also is charged with keeping a lookout for opium poppies, which are illegal to grow. Two instances of poppies on public property were discovered, one in William Land Park in Sacramento and the other at the U.S. Army Air Base in Stockton. Many persons innocently plant oriental poppies without the knowledge they contain the makings would face the same threat of war we today. But then, we would be so weakened rally and militarily—we'd be disarmed by time if Wallace had his way—the Russians could dispose of us in no time at all. Not all of Wallace's criticisms of our eign policy, however, should be ignored. Policy is by no means perfect. It should improved. But the former vice-president would, in effect, kill the patient to cure ailment. He would abandon our foreign policy as improper and yield to the Russian icy which is one hundred times worse. The American people earnestly desire peace. But they don't want the Wallace-Stalin brand of peace. They want the thing. Under False Colors Aside from a deluded few, Americans have an outspoken aversion to anything reminding of communism. We see only too what is happening to those European countries that have fallen under the yoke of the munist police state control—and we do not think that such a fate could happen here. But not by direct means. There is an intermediate which must be taken first and this is why all of us must be on guard. This step iscialim, loudly acclaimed by many who themselves "flipped."

The Division also is charged with keeping a lookout for opium poppies, which are illegal to grow. Two instances of poppies on public property were discovered, one in William Land Park in Sacramento and the other at the U.S. Army Air Base in Stockton. Many persons innocently plant oriental poppies without the knowledge they contain the makings of a destructive narcotic. And speaking of opium, the Division indicates the old days of opium smoking dens in San Francisco aren't over yet, or at least constant vigilance must be maintained to prevent their operation. Division inspectors arrested four Chinese at a house in the bay city they had watched for several days. On entering the house, the inspectors found a complete opium smoking layout, consisting of opium, four pipes, several bowls, lighted lamps and other paraphernalia. In the back yard of the residence, a freshly dug hole was found, and it was learned the opium smoking materials were buried in the hole when not in use. Further investigation disclosed the defendant was going to Chinatown, picking up customers and then driving them to the residential district for the purpose of smoking opium. A late model automobile of high class make was seized. Seizure of automobiles in narcotic cases is providing the state with a large number of late model, high priced automobiles. The Division said 13 were seized during the past month. The extent to which addicts will go to obtain narcotics was shown in a Los Angeles case, involving the theft of a physician's bag. Several unused triplicate narcotic prescription blanks were in the bag. Several days later, a pharmacist called the Narcotic Division, stating a man was waiting for one of the prescriptions to be filled. The man was arrested immediately, and admitted being a narcotic addict for several years. It was his first attempt, he said, to buy drugs on a prescription. Up! Up! Up! Strange conditions exist in our own United States because we continue to drain our own resources, right here at home. The value of the American dollar is nearing a state of collapse. Prices are booming because our money had been devalued and only worth about half its normal value. Money is so cheap that it takes twice as many dollars to operate our great manufacturing plants—and that boosts prices of all Aside from a deluded few, Americans are outspoken aversion to anything reminding smelling of communism. We see only too what is happening to those European countries that have fallen under the yoke of our munist police state control—and we do not think that such a fate could happen here. Yet, it can happen here. But not by direct means. There is an intermediate which must be taken first and this is why all of us must be on guard. This step is critical, loudly acclaimed by many who themselves "liberal." Actually, in the sense that the word "liberal" signifies the freedom of the individual, this self-assertion is fine. These "liberals" are urging bigger and larger government. They constantly deny more powers and controls and, by so doing reveal their love for governing. Whether wittingly or not, when they sail under flag of true liberalism, they sail under colors. It has been said that communism and socialism can be compared to an express train and a slow freight. Both eventually get the same destination but the social freight train takes a little longer. The destination for both, of course, is a rigidly trolled police state. Politics and fear have never produced results stimulated by individual pride or complishment and hope of reward. The portunities offered to the individual should be encouraged, not regimented. The free enterprise system has provided Americans with more opportunities than anywhere else in history. This country has grown gregoriously because this freedom of opportunity has given men and women the incentive to pushward to new horizons. Any other course is not true liberal despite the waving of the "liberal" flag those who would plan our lives for us. Luck of the West Industry in the United States is on move. The military, the Supreme Court industry itself have decreed that the nation would be better served with less industrial concentration. For some time, military planners urged a fanning-out policy on the part industry, fearing that a lightning war might cripple the nation's production capacity. The Supreme Court's recent anti-rulings have accelerated the trend to lose plants closer to markets. Industry itself found it advantageous to decentralize in order to tap new labor pools and keep in touch with changing population trends. The west has been the chief beneficiary this emerging industrial migration. California, statistics show, outstripped all states in non-residential building in Up! Up! Up! Strange conditions exist in our own United States because we continue to drain our own resources, right here at home. The value of the American dollar is nearing a state of collapse. Prices are booming because our money had been devalued and only worth about half its normal value. Money is so cheap that it takes twice as many dollars to operate our great manufacturing plants—and that boosts prices of all goods and wares. In fact, every advertisement in the daily papers shows that prices of food, clothing and the necessaries of life are continuing on the up-and-up. Even the railroads and the bus and street car lines have been boosting rates. In short, the country has poured its billions out into new and strange directions until moneys, securities and goods are not as valuable as they used to be. The Wallace Slogan "Wallace or war!" That was the chant of the delegates at the Third Party convention. That is the chant we shall hear from now until November. The Wallace supporters are sure—or pretend to be—that he can keep America out of an open conflict with Russia. First, it should be said that even without Mr. Wallace in the White House we are not necessarily headed for war with the Soviets. Second, the Wallace method of voiding war is as nauseating as it is simple—just give Stalin anything he wants. Such a system would work well—for a time. But the lesson of the past is that dictators cannot be appeased. Make one concession and they demand two. Make two and they demand four. Unless we are willing to live on our knees—and the American people aren't even if Henry is—we would have to call a halt somewhere. When we did we urged a fanning-out policy on the parity industry, fearing that a lightning war might cripple the nation's production capacity. The Supreme Court's recent anti-trollings have accelerated the trend to lose plants closer to markets. Industry itself found it advantageous to decentralize in order to tap new labor pools and keep in touch with changing population trends. The west has been the chief beneficiary this emerging industrial migration. California, statistics show, outstripped all other states in non-residential building in 1915. And the end is nowhere in sight, according to economists. To California, the decentralization of eastern industry means new growth and press, new problems and temporary disruptions. But it's the luck of the west that addition to being endowed with nearly all resources nature can bestow, such divides agents as the military, the Supreme Court and industry have combined to rearrange the industrial map of the nation—with no phasis on the west. A New Picture It won't be long now before Johnny Jenkins no longer will be delivery boy at Smith Grocery. Men 18 through 25 are ready themselves to go before the draft board register in compliance with President Taft's order. If the scene unfolding today were a mere epic, many would think they had seen a picture before. But Hollywood didn't make facture this plot. World developments subject to change at a moment's notice and no one can say," I know the end, this where I came in," and leave. Our only comment is the thought who must be uppermost in the minds of Americans everywhere: God willing, may this picture be different, may the world find a peaceful solution to its problems and may our nation be spared the ordeal of another war. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago August 9, 1873 The Fairview Grange was organized on Wednesday at the school house at that place and officers were installed by W. H. Baxter of Napa county, Grand Deputy of the Patrons of Husbandry for California. Following are the officers installed: E. Evey, W.M.; B. F. E. Kellogg, W.O.; David Evey, W.L.; Geo. Greeley, S.; Byron Clark, A.S.; C. Gridley, W.C.; D. W. C. Cowan, Treas.; John Taylor, Sec.; Erastus Johnson, G.K.; Miss Austin, Ceres; Miss Frances Evey, Pomona; Miss E. Kellogg, Flora; Miss M. Boswell, Asst. Stewardess. The charter members are, E. Evey, J. J. Hill, B. F. E. Kellogg, D. Evey, J. D. Taylor, B. Clark, D. Snodgrass, F. A. Gates, G. A. Greeley, A. Bittner, D. W. C. Cowan, J. Gwin, Rev. C. Gridley, H. C. Kellogg, W. M. Hill, W. M. Richter, Thos. Boswell, W. Newbeck, Alex Henry, E. Johnson, Mesdames Evey, Kellogg, Clark, Gridley, Zeckie, Snodgrass and Misses R. A. Evey, Fannie Evey, Kellogg, Austin, Gwin and Boswell. The Grange is now awaiting its charter from Washington. It is likely that regular meetings will be held in Anaheim. On Thursday night the West-minister Choir gave a concert at Enterprise hall, for the purpose of raising funds to procure an organ. The audience was small but select and appreciative. Of the singers naught but praise can be said, and the readings of Mr. Poor elicited much mirth. The entertainment was repeated at Santa Ana last evening, with what success we have not heard. gentleman loses his claims to election (Mr. Bush is running for the Assembly) on the fact of his being unpledged to any man, party, or measure. The steamer which arrived yesterday, brought us some of the latest styles of job type. We can now print visiting cards, circulars, etc., in the highest style of the printers art, and at rates extremely low. Mr. Ed Miles has so far recovered from his accident as to be able to put in an appearance on the streets again, although sadly delapidated. To be an object of such general interest is almost a temptation to go and do likewise. No greater tribute can be paid to the merits of Anaheim as a health resort and summer residence, than the fact that an old Californian, like our friend, Mr. A. Schmolz, who has visited and knows every section of the state, selects it as the only enjoyable spot, wherein to pass a few weeks of recreation. The announcements of Jas. D. Byrd and David Davis as constables of this township appear in our column of political announcements today. Both men have filled the office to which they aspire and each gave satisfaction. We recommend them to the notice of the public. Theo. Reiser and wife and Ben Dreyfus have gone to the San Juan Hot Springs. There are now about twenty persons from Anaheim at that place. Frank Ey Visits Scene of Birth Major Frank F. Ey, Junct Angeles attorney and counties landowner, last visited the very room in which he was born at 1:40 in the afternoon seventy years ago, at South and Elm streets, bringing him as a moment of the day the woolen shawl in which first wrapped and also a pair of baby shoes.

Colony Quip (Continued from page) traveler a beautiful crop on the way. Knowing much about corn (exceed 100 proof) as we go the atom bomb we had the word of the natives say the crop will be a one. Of course, back in the west one always has to sudden hail storm into cation. And so into the 'Wind.' On Thursday night the West-minister Choir gave a concert at Enterprise hall, for the purpose of raising funds to procure an organ. The audience was small but select and appreciative. Of the singers naught but praise can be said, and the readings of Mr. Poor elicited much mirth. The entertainment was repeated at Santa Ana last evening, with what success we have not heard. We were pleased to receive a visit from N. H. Mitchell, candidate for Public Administrator, on Thursday. Mr. Mitchell was one of the earliest acquaintances made by us, on coming to Los Angeles county and has impressed favorably ourselves, as well as all his many friends by his eminent personal merit. As he has no opposition, he does not need the active support of his friends, but yet we cannot refrain from endorsing him as gentleman and an able lawyer. When Mr. Crowther, in his song on "County Division" hailed A. L. Bush, as the "Great Redeemer" he evidently forgot that that command of the military escort on the Harding funeral train from San Francisco to Washington. Holderman received medals for heroism during the war and also wears four wound stripes. Mrs. A. L. Winney was hostess to a five hundred party at her residence on Resh street, Thursday. First prize in the game was won by Mrs. K. Suiter, second by Miss Dorothy Keith and the consolation by Miss Marie Robertson. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Scott entertained the Anaheim postoffice force at their Balboa cottage, Thursday evening. Eighteen or twenty persons were in the party. Mrs. Scott was formerly Miss Alice Robeson, for many years in the postoffice here. The guests spent an enjoyable evening on the beach. In view of the fact that the city will probably extend the ornamental light system to the city limits, a company manufacturing such lights installed a sample on the city hall corner Monday. There are only two lamps on the pole, but it is claimed they give as much light as the cluster of five now in use. 25 Years Ago August 9, 1923 Announcement of the death of President Harding, Thursday evening was a stunning shock to the nation as bulletins from his bedside during the day told of improvement and it was believed the danger point in his illness had passed. News of his death reached Anaheim by radio less than an hour after he passed away at the Palace hotel in San Francisco and was proclaimed by the tolling of bells. Only a few days before the people of this county were making extensive preparations to welcome him to southern California. A few hours after the president's death vice-president Coolidge took the oath of office as president of the United States in a little farm house in Vermont, his own father administering the oath. Memorial services of Warren J. Harding, will be held at the city park tomorrow at 1 o'clock. S. C. Hartranft will deliver the oration, Rev.

Where in sight, according to decentralization of easts new growth and programs and temporary dislocation of the west that in windowed with nearly all the ocean bestow, such diverse military, the Supreme Court combined to rearrange of the nation—with eminent is the thought which in the minds of America will willing, may this picture the world find a peace problems and may our Neardeal of another war. Governor Friend W. Richardson has set tomorrow, Friday, August 10, 1923, as a holiday in respect to the memory of the late President Harding whose funeral will occur at that time in this home town of Marion. Sue Dauser formerly of Placentia was one of the two nurses in attendance upon President Harding when he was stricken, and administered the last aid to him. Miss Dauser is a graduate nurse and headed a corps of nurses in France during the war. About the first of November, it is reported, Samuel Kraemer will begin work upon his new building at the corner of Center and Claudina streets, the site now occupied by the Boston Bakery. Mr. Kraemer has definitely decided to put up a six-story structure, making it the tallest business block in the county. It is to be of steel. Seventy-four cars of oranges were shipped from Anaheim last week. The Anaheim Co-operative association closed its house during a portion of the week owing to low prices caused by the eastern market being over stocked. A substantial increase in price is expected soon. Colonel Nelson M. Holderman, formerly of Santa Ana, was in administering the oath. Memorial services of Warren J.

Frank Ey Visits Scene of Birth Major Frank F. Ey, Junior, Los Angeles attorney and southern counties landowner, last Thursday visited the very room in which he was born at 1:40 in the afternoon, seventy years ago, at South Helena and Elm streets, bringing with him as a momento of the occasion the woolen shawl in which he was first wrapped and also his first pair of baby shoes. Major Ey's first job was with the Gazette 56 years ago as carrier. He maintains residences at Los Angeles, in Laguna Beach, and frequently visits his Rancho El Ochoa hunting and fishing grounds at the western bridgehead of the California side of the Colorado river, east of Blythe. Preceding his visit to Anaheim, Major Ey called at "Quo Vadis," his Laguna Beach home, where in the presence of Mrs. Ey and daughters and grandchildren, he conducted a unique raffle of his late mother’s two pairs of drop earrings, his eldest daughter, Ramona, wife of Dr. Gerald P. Kinkler of Laguna, drawing the antique pair of handmade gold pearl set earrings, which had been a wedding gift to her grandmother. Colony Quips (Continued from page 1) traveler a beautiful crop of corn on the way. Knowing about as much about corn (except sweet and 100 proof) as we do about the atom bomb we had to take the word of the natives and they say the crop will be a bumper one.
