DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS This, above all, to thine own self be true, And it will follow, as the night the day, Then must not then be false to any man—Shakespeare. MAKE OF "MONTICELLO" A NATIONAL SHRINE "Monticello," the historic estate of Thomas Jefferson in Albemarle-co., Virginia, is offered for sale by Jefferson M. Levy, its owner. It will go to a private purchaser if the national government does not buy it as a memorial to Jefferson. Mr. Levy would sell the estate to the nation for $500,000, but a private purchaser would have to pay much more than that. It has been suggested that the nation buy the mansion and estate as a summer White House for the occupancy of the President: The estate consists of the historic mansion, well preserved, and more than 700 acres of land. Thomas Jefferson should be memorialized. No more ardent apostle of democracy, free institutions and "government of the people, by the people and for the people" has arisen in American history than the Sage of Monticello. Generally regarded as the patron saint of the Democratic party of today, Jefferson was not a Democrat, by party name. The political organization of which he was the most distinguished leader, was generally known as Republican, or Anti-Federalist, party, although sometimes called Democrat. Jefferson, at the head of the Republicans, or Anti-Federalists, and having the support of Madison and Monroe, was pitted against Alexander Hamilton and John Adams, leaders of the Federalists. The Federalists were favorable to a strong central government, while Jefferson and his cohorts were for a large measure of state sovereignty. Not as a political partisan, but as author of the Declaration of Independence and advocate of freedom and democratic institutions should RUSSIA'S FATE ENIGMA TO THE WORLD Knowledge of what has occurred in Russia under Bolshevik rule and what is occurring now, is fragmentary and uncertain. Forecasting that country's future is exceedingly difficult because of the meagerness of that which is known of its recent past and present. But its plight is so terrible tragic now—there is so much hunger and privation, so much desperate battling against starvation—that revolution and chaos again may stalk that land. The immediate future of Russia offers little that is bright and promising. As to that later future, there is nothing but mere conjecture upon which to base prophecy. This much seems sure — either government essentially democratic will be established, or else there will be a return to reactionism, with possible return to czarism. God pity Russia! Premier Lloyd George and Lord Curzon have instituted a boycott of Lord Northcliffe, by barring him from British embassies in America and other countries, as he tours the world. If anybody is worrying about this, it is not Lord Northcliffe. Such policy on the part of British government leaders only forges weapons and places them in the hands of their political foes. The doughty Northcliffe will not be slow and reluctant in using this weaponry. JUST THE GIST Coming down. Hotel rates in Pasadena hotels will be reduced. Maryland, Green and Huntington all doing it.

Not to speak of the excessive heat over large areas of the United States, which has prevailed this summer. Europe is scourged with high and deadly temperatures and the shortage of rainfall has brot calamitous conditions. In England the situation is grave indeed. The city of London is menaced with an actual water famine, and the supply available soon will be rationed. In other parts of Europe crops, livestock and human beings have suffered from the dry weather and blistering heat. Europe is ill able to bear this disastrous state, added to its other scourges resulting from the World War, in some portions of the continent, particularly in Russia, typhus and other deadly ailments are prevalent. Millions in Europe are so weakened by hunger and privation as to be unable to withstand added troubles. But Providence, which "tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," doubtless will give Europe kindler dispensation ere long. Drought, in due time, will be succeeded by refreshing rains. Famine will give way to plentifulness. This lean year will be followed, no doubt, by years of abundance. There is no cloud without its silver lining, even for scourged Europe. EQUITY IS DEMANDED FOR U. S. SHIPPING So much adverse criticism is passed upon the Shipping Board, it is a refreshing innovation to be able to say something favorable to that body and its activities. The Shipping Board's course in aggressively demanding fair treatment for American merchant ships in the award of trade privileges in foreign ports, is commendable. Other countries are being told, in effect, that they must give every proper and reasonable opportunity to ships which fly the American flag, or else suffer from retaliatory measures, which it is within the power of the Shipping Board to institute, under the new shipping act.

In a campaign that will take them night and day to the middle of November, two of Orange-co's sugar factories, the Santa Ana, located at Dyer, and the Huntington Beach, at that place, got under way yesterday on the turning of the 1921 beet crop into sugar. Unless accidents occur they will not stop for approximately 100 days.as General Manager C.A.Johnson.of both the Holly Sugar company mills commencing operations today,figures it will take that long to run thru the 1921 crop. Nearly 600 men will be employed by the two mills on their two shifts, which last 12 hours each.it was said. The Anaheim sugar factory will start the season's grind Friday, Aug.5,and the Los Alamitos will open the following day.The So.Calif.mill on South Mainstreet Santa Ana will refreshing innovation to be able to say something favorable to that body and its activities.

Other countries are being told, in effect, that they must give every proper and reasonable opportunity to ships which fly the American flag, or else suffer from retaliatory measures, which it is within the power of the Shipping Board to institute, under the new shipping act. American trading ships should have treatment just as favorable in foreign ports as the merchant ships of any other country—just as favorable as the United States itself gives in its own ports to the shipping of all nations.

Store 23 North ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE SLAIN MAN HAUNTS WOMAN IN CO. JAIL (Continued from Page One) loned pictures of the court ordeals that she must face, of the staring eyes, the barely subdued comments of commendation or of blame. Hadassed by her imaginings, by the mental torture, she jumped from subject to subject as she poured out the details of her life. She reverted to her mother. "She is there among her flowers. And here I am, her daughter, not knowing what the future holds. It would break her heart if she were to learn. She must never know." The memory of the flowers and the pleasant gardens of her girlhood is sweet to the little dark-haired woman, and no matter what the subject of conversation, sooner or later it veers back to the great outdoors from which she is so shut away. And the flowers, always the flowers, caused her to confide intimate details of her family, pioneers of California who did their share in the upbuilding of the state. "My husband was from Alabama, you know," she said, "but I am California born and bred. My people were among the first settlers of the Santa Clara valley and the family is one of the prominent ones of the valley. "My grandfather, a pioneer, occupied a prominent place in the state's early history. They had large families those days. My grandfather had 19 children. All were happy and prosperous, and so fond of a simple home life. We were all reared that way. My sisters and I joined our brothers in field sports and in hunting. We always went to the mountains in the hunting season, and life was so sane and sweet. "Their happy home life is undisurbed. None of my people know or realize what has come to me. Mother is getting old and frail. She hasn't been strong for years. Her heart is weak and if were to learn where I aim, it would kill her. "I used to come from Anaheim to has lost weight and her rest at night is broken. "It is so terrible when night comes and I cannot get to sleep," she said, with a little shudder, and her great dark eyes filled with tears while her hands, white and beautifully kept, with slender shapey fingers, clasped convulsively. Then is when the fear comes, and I have to try to remember that God is still with me. The religion in which Mrs. Campbell was raised is her solace now and she is eager to see the Rev. Father Patrick O'Donohue of Los Angeles. "He has always heard my confessions," she said, "and it was he who married us in Taft. I know that he would come to me at once, if he knew my plight. He is so good, and he would understand and help me." CLUB SAYS DETOURS CAUSE OF TROUBLE That the people of California have been put to great inconvenience, expense and subjected to accident because of detours around state highway construction work is charged by the Auto Club of So Calif., following a survey of the detour situation by its engineering department. Many of the detours have been necethairy and unavoidable during construction, the club statement says. Others have been made necessary by reconstruction work on roads that have failed because of inadequate construction in the first place and others caused more trouble than necessary because of ill advised arrangements. "The lower end of the Ridge-rd" the club says, "will be virtually impossible to detour. The reconstruction of about eight miles of this road which the club's reports show will need to be reconstructed in the near future will necessitate the closing of the entire road. "Reconstruction of the northerly end will make necessary a detour which is very narrow, steep and dangerous throut. Many accidents occurred on this detour when it was in use during the construction perfet. It is impossible to use this de" Dangerous conditions on a provided by the state at Grade on the Valley route described in a club report of Jan. 1920. Observers noted a mile of 42 cars and at times more 75 waiting to get over the road than one-fourth of a mile highway trucks. The cars were able to make the grade which steep and slippery. Six man turned over in one day, one of turning over three times. This was reported closed to travel for struction work the previous So far and the attention of their way commission had been taken by the danger of the detour in rainy season.

Closson Veterinarian SPECIAL ATTENTION RAIL DOGS AND COWS. Phone: 288J—128 W. Adole Anheim M EUCENE DUED We were all reared that way. My sisters and I joined our brothers in field sports and in hunting. We always went to the mountains in the hunting season, and life was so sane and sweet. "Their happy home life is undisturbed. None of my people know or realize what has come to me. Mother is getting old and frail. She hasn't been strong for years. Her heart is weak and if we were to learn where I am it would kill her. "I used to come from Anaheim to Santa Ana so many evenings," she said dreamily. "We drove over here and passed so many pretty homes, and I would say to my husband, 'Some time I should like to make Santa Ana my home.'" "I used often to picture having a home here, such as home as I knew when I was a girl, with flowers growing everywhere. For there at mother's home are passion flowers, great purple and white blossoms—my sisters and I used to pull the petal apart to get the honey from them; then there were sprays of jasamine and a great tree of lemon verbena, and oh, I wanted to know if all again. How little I thought that I should be in Santa Ana so many weary weeks and under such circumstances. "And now I am trying to gain strength to face the weeks ahead. How will I ever stand the gaze of all those eyes? Will they think I am a wicked woman do you think? Oh it will be a terrible ordeal—will it be possible for me to believe that all those people who will come to look at me are friends? I have always known friends, and I need them so much now. Will I have any in those crowds which will gather?" "I wonder why God wants me here?" she questioned pathetically. "He has saved my life so many times, when no one thought I could live. Why, one of my physicians to this day calls me 'Miracle' instead of my real name, and it was just because God saved me. I've tried so hard to be good. No one could say I was wicked, but I wonder what he plans for me now! I am sure of one thing, that my faith has carried me through grief and sickness, it will not desert me in trouble." Accustomed all her life to an active out-doors existence, the confinement has naturally told on the physical condition of Mrs. Campbell. She caused of ill advised arrangements. "The lower end of the Ridge-rd the club says, 'will be virtually impossible to detour. The reconstruction of about eight miles of this road which the club's reports show will need to be reconstructed in the near future will necessitate the closing of the entire road. "Reconstruction of the northerly end will make necessary a detour which is very narrow, steep and dangerous throughout. Many accidents occurred on this detour when it was in use during the construction period. It is impossible to use this detour for heavy loads. "North of Bailey's on the Ridge-rd a steep and dangerous detour has recently been in use during the reconstruction of about 2000 feet of original pavement. "On the Ventura-rd the construction that has been done and is now under way necessitates detouring traffic over much longer distances, and especially thru the Conjo dnstrict. Sometimes reconstruction work in this district prevents the use of any road, thus inconveniencing the farmers in that neighborhood. "On the Coast-rd north of Santa Barbara the reconstruction which must soon be done will necessitate the providing of detours at great expense. The old-rood which usually leads thru this district has been out of commission because of the removal of bridges and the sliding of banks and cultivation of fields. "The possible detours on the San Diego-rd will be over rough, broken country and will be dangerous and impracticable for heavy loads. In all the locations mentioned detours..."
