THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-cot: For year, $2; six months, $1.25 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. They once accused George Washington of conspiring to make himself king of America! There was much bitterness and prevarication in politics in the early days, and some of it has come down, from generation to generation. Happily, abusiveness and mean, petty partisanship are being eliminated gradually from political campaigns. Care should be exercised, in filling positions in the public service, by civil service rules or other methods, to get honesty as well as competency in those chosen. The public service would noe be bettered by having regues in it, no matter how capable they might be. Honesty should be the first requirement in all public service. What a wonderful thing is a handclasp! It may express deep religious fervor; it may carry the message of fondest love; it may bear the enheartening influence of sincere sympathy; it may convey the warm impulses of cordial friendship. It enlives, cheers, comforts and happifies. When you shake hands, do it not coldly and mechanically; throw your heart, and soul into it. The hurtfulness of factionalism is obvious in every community where its baneful presence has been felt. California should rid itself of this pestiferous influence, in state, county and municipal affairs. Differences of opinion there must needs be, on public questions—such differences should be, for the public welfare. But, whileing as to civic policies, there is no rhyme or reason in neighbors becoming embittered toward each other and separating into hostile factorial camps, to carry on protracted feuds, to the deriment of the community and to the retaliation of healthy, normal progress. It means a vast deal, too, to have a community-at peace, with conditions of life pleasant and inviting to the stranger. No peacefully disposed person is attracted to a locality that is in endless factional snarls. NEWSBOY TO PRESIDENT. IS HARDING'S RISE Warren G. Harding, in early life, trod the paths that were anything into the water unless it was driven in by a rider. There is also some speculation as to whether the driver of the machine drowned. NEW YORK, May 12—Salvatore Concillaldi, equally proud of his profession and his citizenship, has had large porcelain letters placed upon the window of his barber shop. In Amsterdam avenue, reading "Salvatore Concillaldi, American Citizen, Tonsoralist." WHAT has become of the hand organs? They have left New York City, that's certain. Long before this time in April, other years have marked the coming of spring by the grinding of their tunes. This year, it's only two or three times a week that the strains of one reaches you. Both the little boxy ones that strapped over the shoulder and usually bore a monkey for company and the "improved" street pianos have vanished. Hosts of people will give a sigh of thanksgiving for the disappearance, but personally I miss them grievously and between us, so do most of those who speak with so much scorn. Stanley with the longest and hardest last name I have yet met spent the other night in a telephone booth. He regretted being wakened earlier than necessary by a passing policeman who took him to the station, and in the unfortunate way of a police man notified his family. Stanley had been taken to see his cousins and at the same time given ten cents which he was to donate for the heathens at church services. Not caring much for cousins, he decided to use the dime to go looking for the heathen. It seemed a good arrangement to him and he insisted that he liked the telephone booth for a sleeping place when his dime gave out. The policeman, lacking Stanley's logical mind, still didn't understand his motives. "Why do you run away?" NEWSBOY TO PRESIDENT. IS HARDING'S RISE Warren G. Harding, in early life, trod the paths that were anything but easy and rose-strewn. He was a newsboy in a small town. He had to struggle to get on. He was not born to penury, it is true, nor was he surrounded with opulence. He began early in life to make his own way. Like thousands of other plucky, self-reliant boys are doing today—here, there and everywhere—he became a little merchant of the streets, vending newspapers. It is not fullsome flattery of the newsboy to say this, but in that very experience in selling newspapers the future President of the United States doubtless imbibed much-worldly wisdom and laid the foundations for keen insight into human nature. The newsboy, to be successful, must touch the hidden springs that influence men. Mr. Harding, in his campaign for the Presidency, was waited upon by a delegation of former newsboys of his own paper, the Marion Star. Of this visit he says: "The testimony of their friendship and loyalty touched me very deeply." The typical American "newsie," as he is affectionately called, plays his part in the public eye. He develops a pride in his calling. He rubs elbows with the world as it is. He absorbs the nucleus of wisdom and sound judgment which, in many instances, has carried newsboys to exalted positions in politics, business, invention and industry. Treat the newsboy with courtesy and consideration. He may be the human raw material out of which a really great and useful man may develop. The Village Gossip Here's a new fish story. Roy M. Silkwood, chief engineer of the Santa Ana water works, was fishing for grunion the other night at a point about 300 yards west of the Bolsa Chica Gun club near Huntington Beach. He was wearing high rubber boots and walking through the salt water when he stumbled over something that gave him a cold chill. Silkwood thought he had been attacked by an octopus. He pulled himself together and proceeded to free himself from the monster. Reaching down into the water he grabbed the submerged project and dragged it upon the beach sand. It proved to be an Excelsior motorcycle. Silkwood says it appeared to have been recently ruined. the Bolsa Chica Gun club near Huntington Beach. He was wearing high rubber boots and walking through the salt water when he stumbled over something that gave him a cold chill. Silkwood thought he had been attacked by an octopus. He pulled himself together and proceeded to free himself from the monster. Reaching down into the water he grabbed the submerged project and dragged it upon the beach sand. It proved to be an Excelsior motorcycle. Silkwood says it appeared to have been recently painted and in good condition. He left it on the beach near the point where he pulled it out from the water. He notified Sheriff C. E. Jackson, who in turn notified C. E. Tinsley, city marshal of Huntington Beach, and an effort is now being made to locate the owner of the machine. The authorities are at a loss to understand how the motorcycle got SUE AMACK, D. C. Ph.C. Chiropractic Palmer Method Hours: 10—12 a.m. 2—5 p.m. Tues., Thurs., Sat., 7 to 8 p.m. Room 5, Casson Bldg.

It was driven also some specthe driver of We don't have very much permanence of occupation in a family or locality in this country—least of all, perhaps. In Greater New York. And a little book shop in Ann street seems decked in a certain romance of tradition because for over 100 years, the room has been a book shop. The owners of the building have died and the property has passed from their families. The book shop keepers have sold to pthers. But ALWAYS it has been a book shop. I don't believe that there is another building in New York, except a church or two, that has that record. Ned Wayburn has established himself as an independent producer. He is going to stick pretty close to staging musical plays, and for an opening effort will present next fall a play with music entitled "Flying Island." The book of which is by Fred Jackson and Mr. Wayburn, the lyrics by Clifford Grey, score by George Gershwin, and the settings and costumes by Wilt Pogany. Food prices are dropping, even on Broadway. We never believed it would happen. Market quotations meant nothing to the restaurants, everyone assumed and it was actually a shock the other day to drop into one of the popular eating places around Times Square and discover new prices on the menus. I tried two other places of the same sort the next two days and found the same thing true. 25 per cent reductions right; there in the mirrored cabaret one time cork popping restaurants of Broadway. Letters From People Editor The PLAIN DEALER: It is said that justice is blind. A few thoughts are brought to mind by decisions in two cases recently before one section of our Superior court. One of a lady chiropractor and the other of a man for driving an automobile while intoxicated. The lady, while she may have violated the law, was trying to relieve suffering and cure sickness. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail. The man, who not only endangered his own life, but the lives of all who might be on the road at that time, was given probation. It brings to our mind when the Jewish mob erried to Pilate to crucify Christ and release Barraban, a robber and a murderer. Respectfully, WILL HUNT. NINE GERMANS TO ASK NATURALIZATION Next Monday is the date set by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams for the hearing of the naturalization class. There are 18 petitions on file in the county clerk's office. Petitions filed by Germans will be heard for the first time since the U.S. declared war on Germany. Among the petitions are nine Germans, one Belgian, two Canadians, a Swiss, an Englishman, a Hollander, a Pole and a Swede. There is also on file the petition of C.E. Rossler of Santa Ana who desires to have his citizenship restored after filing on a land grant in Canada. GRANDSON CHAMPION BASEBALL PITCHER Frank F. Davis, instructor of manual training at Fremont school, is feeling pretty foxy since he received a copy of the Seattle Times containing a long story on the front page and a picture of his grandson, Ray Steele, 13, winner of that newspaper's baseball pitching contest. Young Steele struck out 23 consecutive battles before with an automatic umpire. BOOST CAMPAIGN TO CUT FREIGHT RATES A resolution was passed yesterday by the Fullerton B. of T. directors endorsing the "Save the West" campaign against high railroad rates between the Pacific coast and the east. The present high rates will ruin the fruit industry of the entire coast. It was stated: The board also endorsed the Junior College May day fete Friday afternoon. Mr. Irwin was instructed to write the state highway commission urging completion of the bridge at Montebello before the winter season.

B. West ordered the case submitted on briefs. He then will render a decision. Decision on a motion on the part of the defense for non-suit was held in reserve by the court. A counter suit brought by the high school district to collect $6900 damages alleged to have been caused by the destruction by fire of the high school will have to be tried as a separate action, according to a ruling of Judge West.

On the island, land rents for from $50 to $60 per acre per annum. In Holland, cows are kept on land valued at from $1000 to $2000 per acre. And cows are kept at a profit in such high-prized land, even though less is received for dairy products than in this country. Profitable dairying is possible in these countries because it is conducted on a business basis and the cows are bred to a high state of efficiency.
