CO-OPERATION of the pedestrian, as well as the driver, is needed to reduce the number of serious traffic accidents. )x( THE PHONOGRAPH has improved the musical taste of the masses, but it has not, in many instances, improved the temper of those who live close neighbors to the phonograph. )x( THE TARiff, now before the people, is not a startlingly new question. They were talking tariff and enacting tariff laws back in the days of George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. )x( TOUGH Theodore Rosevelt takes hold of his duties as assistant secretary of the navy with much of the vitic and alacrity that were characteristic of Mr. Roosevelt's distinguished father. )x( IF ONE takes at face value the controlling assertions made, one is driven to the conclusion that railroads will be ruined without high freight rates and that shipments will be ruined with high freights. Why not get on middle ground and ruin neither of them? )x( THERE SHOULD be broad, generous freedom of the press in this country. But the press should not turn this freedom into license and abuse it by flooding homes with objectionable unpleasant debasing matter. It is but fair to say that there is none of this among the newspapers which may be regarded as typically American. )x( AMERICANS sympathize with Europe suffering from famine and pestilence, but do not concern themselves about the prejudices and selfish ambitions of European powers. The only international attitude that appeals with favor to Americans is the fair, disinterested, peace-promoting attitude that is typical of the United States in its relations with all foreign countries. )x( FARMER IS TO RECEIVE DUE PROTECTION. President Harding is greatly concerned about the welfare of the farmer. He is urging tariff relief as quickly as possible after congress assembles in extra session. He is reported to be in favor of a modified agricultural emergency tariff bill to protect wool, mutton, beef, wheat and dairy products. The president is reluctant to resort to embargo, by presidential order, of importations of farm products which most disastrously compete with American soil productions. But he may take this step, if no other form of relief is forthcoming. Fruit growers should have relief, as well as farmers. The citrus industry here in California, is suffering greatly and needs tariff protection as well as more favorable transportation rates. Relief should be sought and insisted upon for the growers o foranges and lemons, as well as the producers of wheat, meat and woll. REPRIMAND ME, IS PLEA OF MOTORIST Arrested by Traffic Officer Vernon Myers on a charge of cutting a corner at Orangesthorpe boulevard and the state highway, J. R. Anderson, of Los Angeles, appeared before Justice Leo Goepper, sitting in the Santa Ana justice court, and attempted to enter into a compromise with the court. Anderson first secured a pen and a sheet of paper and wrote a statement of the circumstances involving his arrest. This he read to Judge Coopper, with the latter's permission. The recital was somewhat involved and contained a frank admission of guilt. "I was driving my Ford for the first time," said Anderson after reading the paper," and as I didn't know how sharp a turn I could make I didn't try to go around the button."

If it's from Wil AMERICANS sympatize with Europe's suffering from famine and pestilence, but do not concern themselves about the prejudices and selfish ambitions of European powers. The only international attitude that appeals with favor to Americans is the fair, disinterested, peace-promoting attitude that is typical of the United States in its relations with all foreign countries. PERSONS CONVERSEANT with court proceedings are impressed with the alarming increase in instances of obvious perjury on the part of persons giving court testimony. In some cases this is so palpable as to shock even hardened habitues of court rooms. Screediness of the oath never should be fostered or violated. Perjury should be dealt with as the shocking crime it is. The perjurer should be punished severely, and his crime should be held up to public reprehension. If rigorous punishment is not meted out, would-be perjurers will become more and more emboldened, until the oath will have less and less solemnity and significance. This never should be. ANNUAL MOTOR EVENT "The Call of the Open Road." Mr. Motorist, you are being paged. The long, shaded trails that lead to California's scenic treasures are calling you. Perhaps you have already board—and obeyed—the "call," but if you haven't by the end of the coming week it will not be the fault of every motor car dealers' association and automobile organization in the state. Wherever you live "The Call of the Open Road"—the slogan adopted by the various dealers' organizations to carry the message to every motorist that the time is at hand to "hit the trail"—will reach you. The week of April 3 to 9 has been designated the "Call of the Open Road Week" and all during the week a series of events will focus the attention of the public on the many points of interest in California that have been brought to our very doors through the means of the motor car. Although the motorist in this clime knows no season and is not hindered by weather whither he goes, spring and summer are the ideal seasons to motors. The winter's rains have mantled the mountains and valleys with carpets of green, fragrant scents perfume the air, and a California sun tempered by mountain and ocean breezes, bids one for sale the "grind" of business affairs and enjoy on the "open road" what nature has to offer. Dealers all over the state are arranging to decorate their showrooms in a laborious manner, carrying out the spirit of the movement, and retail dealers in every line are going to co-operate with them. So enthusiastic has everyone been about the idea that it has been decided to make it an annual event. Anderson first secured a pen and a sheet of paper and wrote a statement of the circumstances involving his arrest. This he read to Judge Cooper, with the latter's permission. The recital was somewhat involved and contained a frank admission of guilt. "I was driving my Ford for the first time," said Anderson after reading the paper," and as I didn't know how sharp a turn I could make I didn't try to go around the button. There was another car behind me and I feared that if I slowed down to make the turn the fellow at my rear would hit me. "Now Judge, there were no aggravating circumstances and I recommend a severe prerimand or a suspended sentence." Judge Goepper informed the defendant that the latter had no right to make any recommendations and told him that the fine would be $2. Traffic Officer Myers said that he was sitting on a water pipes on the corner when he saw Anderson "dodge the button." Anderson paid the fine. Among others who paid fines for alleged traffic law violations were W. Gielow, $6; C. Silcox, $3; W. W. Bartlett $10, and B. Caulfield, $10. 36 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported the week ending April 2: show 26 new wells started compared with 30 previous week; total new wells this year 368, compared with 229 same date last year.

The Village Gossip One of the leading articles in The American Magazine for April is devoted to a write-up of Charles C. Chapman, whom it refers to as “the dominant figure in the citrus industry of America.” The article is one of a series which tell of men who have been “wiped out at forty,” but who have “come back” and made a big success after that period of life. It tells of Mr. Chapman’s early success in Illinois and of how the panic of 1893 “wiped him out.” Following that disaster, he came to California and started into the business of raising oranges, although he had never seen an orange except in a store or on the table. This, however, did not deter him and he learned both how to grow the mand how to market them, the latter being, perhaps, as much a feature of his success as the former. The article was written by Merle Crowell, a staff writer for the American, who came to Fullerton especially to get the material for the story. Uncle Sa mis nothing if not careful. A. W. Gentry, of Santa Ana, testified to this today when he received from a deputy disbursement clerk of the department of agriculture, Washington, a check for 30 cents, representing a refund on excess profits accruing from a transaction in Kansas City in 1817. In that year Gentry conducted a sheep ranch at Pawnee, Okla. He sent a $1000 consignment of wool into a pool formed at Kansas City. The government took over the wool, paid for if FINED $25 FOR INTOXICATION H. H.
