HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No.—Orange-co: Per year, $2; six months, $1.25. Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. DAILY GREETING TO READERS And be in sparkling madness, a star. Gilds the bright summit of some gloomy cloud. Brightening the half-veiled face of heaven afar. So when dark thoughts my boding spirit abound. Sweet Hope celestial influence round me shed. Waving the silver pinions o'er my head! John Kentz. Politics is occupying the back seat and seldom speaks up. Europe should keep as far away from war as it possibly can get. The person who has lived so long as six months in California finds it hard thereafter to live anywhere else. Wherever there is disaster, distress and turmoil in the United States, there is great heart in the American people concentrated in generous giving. The main strength of the United States navy should be in the Pacific, where this country will be attacked, should another war come, involving the United States. The good example of the good citizen who manifests good citizenship by voting in every election, even though he may have to discomode himself to get to the polls, is salutary. Congress should not postpone action on revision of federal taxes. It is initiated in Washington dispatches that it many do so. The people should have relief as quickly as it can be given. To neglect World War veterans and not provide for the disabled and not to give work to the able-bodied, is to neglect a duty that manifestly a grateful nation and people should perform with alacrity and good grace. The race problem in this country, as between the whites and the negroes, cannot be settled in passion and bloody clashings. It must be wrought out in peace and with mutual respect and with co-operation between the best elements of both races. Dangerous aerial feats should not be performed near large crowds. If aviators will endanger themselves, they should not draw bystanders into the zone of danger. There is plenty of room in the open, away from crowds, to perform daredevil acts. Do not pour out a ceaseless stream of "don't" to children. Give them a liberal sprinkling of "you may do this," or "you may do that." The best way to keep children from doing what they should not do is to point out the innocent, wholesome things that they may do. The Puerto disaster has brought out much of the best in human nature. There has been much heroic action in rescuing the imperiled. There has been indefatigable labor to give quick relief. And from all over the country there is generous response to calls for aid. Colorado has had its object lesson in the perils of lack of flood control. It would be economy, in the long run, to establish scientific control systems throughout that state, just as it would be a good business investment to control California' floody rivers. As the country in the basins of America's rivers becomes more thickly populated and more highly developed, oped, the perilously respondingly runs wantonly Kansas has in damage is immensely inevitable. Scientific flora the United States numbers of livestock of millions amount equal front floods so effective control out the country. President Kaiser some excellent true eloquence liverances.

When a river runs wantonly to flood, as the Arkansas has in Colorado, the property damage is immense, and loss of life is inevitable. Scientific flood control throughout the United States, would save great numbers of lives and property losses that total tens of millions—even hundreds of millions—annually. An amount equal to the yearly damage front floods soon would establish effective control of freshest through-out the country. President Harding is making some excellent speeches. He rises to true eloquence in some of his deliverances. And in all of them there is a pungency and a solidity of thought that must have come to him through long years of active newspaper work. Mr. Harding is saying things that will be remembered and treasured. AID FOR PUEBLO COMES FROM ALL PARTS The cry for help has come from the governor of Colorado in behalf of stricken Pueblo. President Harding has made appeal. Governor Stephens closes his proclamation with this sentiment: "California must not forget the response made to her needs in 1906." California will not forget 1906, Colorado, and all the other states responded nobly when San Francisco lay in ashes. California is not so selfish, not so ungrateful, as to forget that ready assistance. From this community and from other communities throughout the state prompt and generous contributions may be expected. Survey of the stricken city shows disastrous effects of the flood. Any other people than Americans, or those of Anglo-Saxon blood, would be dazed and daunted by such a catastrophe. But Pueblo, like Galveston, like San Francisco, like Dayton like every American city that has suffered disaster from flood or fire—quickly begins to plan rebuilding. The Colorado city will not sit, dumb and inactive, beside its ruins. But, proud, energetic and invincible of spirit, it will arise — already has arisen to gird its loins and to replace what the flood ruined — to build ever than before. And, what is consummately wise, it will build a scientific flood control system, in which it should have the assistance New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, June 14. In one of the smartly gay restaurants of this city are two tablets, memorials to sentiment, imbedded in the walls. It doesn't seem a New Yorkky sort of thing to find, except that almost anything in the world can be considered belonging here. Anyway, two men met the women who became their wives in this restaurant, the Beaux Arts, and in spite of all the husbands who forget wedding anniversaries every year, these two men made a romantic gesture to the importance of the even. The jewelled tablets are in the grill. Both are bronze plaques inlaid in alcoves and enclosed in glass. The first is set with a fiery opal and carries the mystic inscription: "Happy Dawn, September, 1905." Andre Bustonoby, the roprietor, remembers who put it there but he does not tell. The other tablet was the work of a well known New York lawyer. It is set with a large turquoise and engraved, "A, and L, Aere Perennius XVMIX." The inspiration for both came from a similar tablet in the walls of the art room of the cafe; put there by friends of Louis Bustonby, founder of the place, on his return from France. Picnickers are pretty hardy folk. I've always thought. Otherwise they wouldn't be picnickers for any length of time. But I never realized how much more durable there digestions were than those of sturdy animals, like sheep, for instance. However, 30 of the named Dorset horned sheep, which graze in the meadows of Central Park, became deadly ill of gasflirtis, from eating the remains of the Memorial Day picnics held in the meadows. The care-takers tried to make the place all neat and clean before they let their charges back after the special dispensation for picnics over the holiday, but bits of dill pickles and deviled eggs were still about. They were entirely too much for the gente shee. When it comes to mileage, the stay at home New Yorker has it pretty well over any of his traveling friends. One of the travelers remarked proudly the other day that he had taken a 5000 interest are identical. We build trucks to carry a definite given load continuously over a long period. The highway engineers builds roads to bear certain traffic for a long period. We are both confronted with the situation where a truck operator loads his truck 50 or 100 per cent over capacity and wears out both the truck and the road in a shorter time than the original design and construction calls for. It is the overload that causes the grief to both. The next year we are compelled to build tricks to carry that overload. This process has been going on constantly with us for ten years until now we don't build a truck but that can carry successfully twice its rated capacity, because we know from experience a large number of users will overload to that extent. In many instances the individual truck operator is not to be blamed. Much of the condition is brought about by the competition among contractors for hauling on a ton basis, until it has come to the pass where a man who does not overload cannot compete in price, and live, with the man who does. Bids are made on the 5, 6, 8 of other ton-load basis. The consequence is that the highways go to pieces and the state, county, city and truck manufacturer really pay for the excess load. The remedy is clear. The truck operator must haul capacity loads and bid for business upon that capacity. If all operators followed this system the result to each would ultimately be the same, the highways of the state preserved and the trucks live a longer life. As long as the highways of the state are built to carry certain loads the capacity of trucks must be limited to fit these conditions. It is beyond the capacity of the taxpayers to build roads that will stand up under unlimited loads. We can afford no more bond issues. Economy is the watchword. The ability of the state, county and city to maintain its roads and keep down the cost of such maintenance must be considered. In order that the truck maker and operator shall be used fairly under these existing conditions it is absolutely necessary that uniform capacity ratings be adopted by all counties. The manufacturer cannot build a truck for use in every individual county, limited to that county in its scope. The truck should not be regulated in its inter-county operation LIMITING IMMIGRATION IS NOT UNFRIENDLY The federal immigration law — which for a stated period is to limit the number of aliens entering this country — is not a measure unfriendly to the peoples whom it affects. It is not an anti-allen law at all. It is inspired by that "first law of nature" self-preservation. This country must look carefully to its economic weal. In justice to its own people it must not permit its shores to be teeming with incoming hordes of immigrants to complicate an economic situation that already is more or less distressing. In assuming this attitude the United States not only is wisely and properly protecting its own people, but it at the same time is giving would-be immigrants a square deal. If they came to this country in unlimited numbers they would share in the economic stress. But by limiting the number permitted to enter this country, there will not ensue over-crowding of industry and swelling of the ranks of the unemployed. Witman, Kyesight Specialist. When it comes to mileage, the stay at home New Yorker has it pretty well over any of his traveling friends. One of the travelers remarked proudly the other day that he had taken a 5000 mile trip around the country last year. "I guess that ought to be enough for any man," said he, "5000 miles! A mere nothing," retorted the stay at home. "I traveled 5,840 miles last year without going outside of the city. I live in 116th-st, and work at Park Place. That 8 miles one way, or 16 miles a day. Figure it out for yourself." Every singer and instrumental musician in New York City may have a chance to display his or her talent at public concerts this summer, no matter how unknown or bithertorious successful they may be. The Stadium concert committees are organizing an audition committee, which may choose the best six or eight of the applicants who appear before it. The committee, of which Miss Anne Shingleur is the head, hopes that it will in this way uncover much new and valuable musical talent. Anyone may appear before the committee, the requisite being name, address, and statement of the wish to appear. The applicants will be heard from behind a curtain and not for a moment be in view of any of the committee, in order at acquaintance or "pull" of any kind will have no effect. City boys don't have such a terrible dull time, after all. The old cellar door in the regions of rear houses with cellars and doors has absolutely nothing at all on the great, impressive stone stairs of the States Courts building. And the boys have discovered the glory of its possibilities. With the first days of summer, they start repairing to the courthouse each afternoon, armed only with a plain board. Climbing to the top of the stairs, the boy who grabbed the plank first, places it on the top steps, seats himself and is off. It's a terrific slide before he reaches the bottom and he usually lands over in the middle of Chamber-st, from the momentum he acquires. It's rather terrifying to the onlooker, until he gets used to it, and its particularly terrifying to the person who sidesteps just in time to escape the avalanche of boy and board. But onlookers, policemen and judges alike grin reminiscently and forget to enter any complaint. In this day of feminism and this city of feminism, one would certainly expect to find women taxi drives, a dozen or so, at least. But there's only one—and she is not only in Brooklyn, but in the domesticated section known as Flatbush. UNIFORM RATING OF TRUCKS IS URGED BY WASS L. MORELAND Gen. Mgr. Moreland Motor Truck Company In all consideration of the relation of truck loads and truck operation to highways, and all matters of regulation pertaining thereto, it should be clearly understood that the Moreland Motor Truck Co. places first in importance, above the mere selling of trucks the protection and preservation of these highways in the interests of the state of California and all its people. We are first of all citizens, citizens who for 20 years have earnestly advocated good roads and consistently worked for their construction and extension. We have plowed through the dust, chuck holes and occasional mud of the trails of the days of yore and we have seen them give way to the hard, level paved roads of today. We have seen the state grow agriculturally, commercially, industrially and in population, and become a better place to live and do business in as this development has come. The benefits to all the people of the state, keeping pace with this development, have been incalculable. But, not only as citizens, we believe that it is distinctly to our own selfish interests that the highways of the state be kept up and not destroyed. In a real analysis there is no point of issue between us as builders of motor trucks and the people of the state as builders of highways.
