PAGE FOUR 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-co: Per yr. $3; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS God has lent us the earth for our life; it is a great entail. It belongs as much to them who are to come after us, and whose names are already written in the book of creation, as to us; and we have no right by anything that we do, or neglect, to involve them in unnecessary penalties, or deprive them of benefits which it was in our power to bequeath. —John Ruskin. The best sermon on goodness is a good life. Independent common sense is the safest guide in politics. There is no use in praying the Lord's Prayer unless one lives it. Consistency is a jewel not always fashionable in some social circles. When capital and labor fall out, the public should not be made the scapegoat. There should be no great strike in a vital industry unless and until the public consents thereto. The United States should have under its flag a merchant marine com-world. Observe every law, while it is law. If any law be inequitable and oxnoxious, move for its repeal. But do not try to nullify it by violating it. California is garnering, a golden crop of deciduous fruits. Where there is a shortage in yield there are better prices, so that orchardists are profiting. Fruit crops add tens of millions of dollars annually to the produced wealth of this state. Strife in industry is harmful to all INDEPENDENCE ISSUE IS NOT PRESSED Recent elections in the Philippines indicate that the Filipinos are not lured away by the chimera of immediate independence. Election results show that the element of the population which is not pressing for instant autonomy won at the polls. The slogan of this element was: "Let us have a clean house first." Very good indeed. The Filipinos will lose nothing by concentrating their thought and efforts upon the attainment of the highest state of efficiency in self-rule, meanwhile leaving to the good judgment and good graces of the United States the decision as to when full political independence should be granted. This country will not unnecessarily or unjustly delay the granting of this boon. The United States will be as fair and considerate toward the Philippines as it has been and is toward Cuba. Of this the Filipinos and their friends always may feel assured. STATUE OF COL. CODY IS PROJECTED Col. William F. Cody, better known for a generation as "Buffalo Bill," is to be memorialized by an equestrian statue, larger than life size, to be done in bronze on a base of pink native granite, at Cody, Wyoming, the picturesque spot where Colonel Cody is buried. Colonel Cody was one of the most rugged and daring figures on the Western plains during the pioneer days when riding the plains was extremely hazardous. He was a superlative "rough rider" and a skilled shot. His Wild West show delighted and thrilled multitudes for many years, in this country and abroad. Observe every law, while it is law. If any law be inequitable and oxnoxious, move for its repeal. But do not try to nullify it by violating it. California is garnering, a golden crop of deciduous fruits. Where there is a shortage in yield there are better prices, so that orchardists are profiting. Fruit crops add tens of millions of dollars annually to the produced wealth of this state. Strife in industry is harmful to all elements concerned and particularly harmful to the public. Against controversies and causes for serious clashes, everybody should strive. Strikes, lockouts, bitterness and violence are hurtful in the industrial life of the Nation—they always have been hurtful, and always will be. They settle nothing permanently. They leave a trail of dissension and dissatisfaction and breed other strife. Only through reasonable negotiations, marked by fairness on the part of all concerned, and by the spirit of conciliation and accommodation and willingness of all concerned to go to the utmost limit consistent with their respective rights, to keep peace in industry—only by such means can lasting justice and settledness be attained in industry. But if every industrial difference is to be distorted into class warfare, exaggerated and embittered, then indeed must capital and labor suffer. This should not be. A great many voters this year regard politics more with disgust than with interest. None should become so disgusted as to neglect the important duty of participating in primaries and general elections. If all the people at all times met their citizenship obligations in choosing the right kind of men for public office, there would be no reason for anyone to be disgusted with politics.

HURLBUT Now, there is one thing above all others that gets the "nanny" of a newspaper man—and particularly one of some twenty-one years' service—and that is to impugn his veracity or question his facts too carelessly. Just a week ago today I published in this column an analysis of the Booth-Johnson vote for Senator at the primary, August 29, 1916, in which it was shown by the book that Johnson only beat Booth, a weak candidate, by 15,064 votes for the Republican nomination. And Johnson at that time was at the very height of his machine strength and personal popularity. He was riding the waves and riding 'em high and fancy. Here Are Totals The totals were: Johnson 161,403 and Booth 146,339, and if my subtraction is not altogether out of kilter, that makes a majority of 15,064. And there were a good many Republicans that year who voted for Johnson just to "get him out of California." Probably nearly as many as there were Progressives who voted for him, and at that election, in the entire State, he was only able to muster up 16,227 Progressive votes. But let not that concern Charles C. Moore's friends and backers. Since then Johnson has lost Chester Rowell up here and Marshall Stimpson down south; he has lost 50 per cent of the executive committeemen and women who organized his southern campaign in 1916, and it is safe to say he has lost, with these leaders, the rank and file of the Progressive voters of California. Twenty Counties to Booth Booth carried the astonishing total of twenty counties out of fifty-eight in the State, and these are very generally scattered; and he came within approximately a hundred votes of carrying twelve more. With the results elsewhere very encouraging. Johnson carried San Francisco by 10,071, the vote being: Johnson 32-160 and Booth 22,089; and he carri- Del Norte ... 184 ... 321 El Dorado ... 464 ... 482 Fresno ... 1,746 ... 4,374 Glenn ... 460 ... 446 Humboldt ... 2,542 ... 3,026 Imperial ... 351 ... 540 Inyo ... 244 ... 141 Kern ... 1,322 ... 1,980 Kings ... 642 ... 227 Lake ... 290 ... 296 Lassen ... 394 ... 529 Los Angeles ... 37,523 ... 28,524 Madera ... 304 ... 558 Marin ... 1,804 ... 1,843 Mariposa ... 147 ... 303 Mendocino ... 1,344 ... 985 Merced ... 698 ... 618 Modoc ... 309 ... 270 Mono ... 52 ... 80 Monterey ... 1,229 ... 1,161 Napa ... 1,659 ... 1,079 Nevada ... 729 ... 1,216 Orange ... 3,004 ... 1,388 Placer ... 458 ... 824 Plumas ... 256 ... 320 Riverside ... 2,319 ... 2,049 Sacramento ... 3,097 ... 7,777 San Benito ... 560 ... 328 San Bernardino ... 3,757 ... 2,638 San Diego ... 6,015 ... 3,626 San Francisco ... 22,089 ... 32,160 San Joaquin ... 2,858 ... 3,006 San Luis Obispo ... 836 ... 1,618 San Mateo ... 1,863 ... 3,554 Santa Barbara ... 1,718 ... 1,604 Santa Clara ... 5,781 ... 6,938 Santa Cruz ... 1,460 ... 1,289 Shasta ... 804 ... 681 Sierra .....197 .....222 Siskiyou .....666 .....896 Solano .....1,248 .....2,331 Sonoma .....3,272 .....2,575 Stanislaus .....1,022 .....1,802 Sutter .....526 .....357 Tehama .....733 .....874 Trinity .....176 .....226 Tulare .....1,593 .....2,043 Tuolumne .....373 .....466 Ventura .....1,239 .....897 Yolo .....1,019 .....806 Yuba .....448 .....681 Totals .....146,339 .....161,403 HEALTH HINT Never come home with broken cigars in your vest.

CHILDREN A Wall street banker says that school children own the majority of Uncle Sam's $638,000,000 of "baby bonds"—thrift bonds. It is probable that American children own enough of these bonds to wipe out the entire national debt of Mexico. Financially, the children of our generation are extremely fortunate. Do you remember when a penny satisfied an eight-year-old boy, and a nickel looked as big to him as a wagon wheel? "Them days is gone forever." WE HOPE HE PICKS OUT A NICE DAY FOR THE EFFORT News item: Col. Geo. Fabian, who owns a farm near Chicago, where he raises prize dogs and cows, has announced that he intends to improve the human race. Jack Dempsey says he's broke. Now we know why Peggy Joyce said she wouldn't marry him. If you don't pay as you go, you are gone. This must be Nothing Much Doing week. And there is a happiness shortage, says Tom Sims. Don't lose any. AMERICA AN OLIGARCHY If after both houses of Congress pass a law and it is signed by the President, the Supreme Court declares it unconstitutional, the court may be right. But when such law is passed again in an effort to put it in constitutional form, and the Supreme Court still declares it unconstitutional and void, as in the case of the Child Labor Law, the court may still be legally right; but the decision is against the will of the people which, in a democracy, should be supreme. Supreme Court Judges are not elected. They are appointed. They are appointed for life. And a government in which a group above and beyond the reach of the people exert supreme power is not a democracy. Nor is it a republic. It is an oligarchy. Twenty Counties to Booth Booth carried the astonishing total of twenty counties out of fifty-eight in the State, and these are very generally scattered; and he came within approximately a hundred votes of carrying twelve more. With the results elsewhere very encouraging. Johnson carried San Francisco by 10,071, the vote being: Johnson 32-160 and Booth 22,089; and he carried Sacramento by 4680, the vote being: Johnson 7777 and Booth 3097. The two cities pretty nearly elected Johnson. But what will C. C. Moore, a northern man, do to cut that lead down? He will do a lot of things, my friends. Now, to come back to the introductory sentence; that story made considerable talk in Moore and Joanson circles and one or two overzealous Johnsonites, rather deeply bitten. I fancy, by the republication of the figures, charged me with manipulating the record.

Had he come out here six months ago to campaign against Johnson for Senator, he would have licked the senior Senatorial to the traditional well known frazzle. So the sets of figures are in no way comparable, nor can any comfort be secured by the Johnson machine from the Hoover-Johnson presidential primary figures. Moore Vote Getter And this same C. C. Moore headed that Hoover ticket, incidentally, as a vote getter. What has Johnson lost since 1916? His personal machine is badly shot to pieces; Governor Stephens has a battle on his own hands; all the biggest Stephens leaders are openly whipping off their coats in a desperate effort to prevent a Johnson debacle, thus forcing Stephens to his own resources; Johnson has aroused tens of thousands of citizens by his vote against the League of Nations and against the Four Power treaty. What has Johnson gained since 1916? His present publicity stunt, and he is full of publicity stunts, is the tariff. He is getting plenty of publicity on that issue through the aid of the Hearst papers. But on this score there is a curious reaction setting in. It must not be forgotten that there are eleven Congressmen back in Washington and another Senator, Samuel Shortridge, of considerable persuasive eloquence himself and popular with the administration. Up in Santa Rosa the other day, while sounding around on the Moore-Johnson situation, I found a number of Congressman Clarence Lea's friends bitterly castigating Johnson for attempting to "hog" the credit for the tariff fight for all California and citing the work Lea had consistently done for the interests of his own district. What of Kahn, Nolan? I wonder what Julius Kahn, or John L. Nolan, right here at home, think of the situation? They have been pretty valiant battlers for us and the State back there at Washington. And when these eleven congressmen came before their constituents as they are now coming for re-election, are they going to concede that they have all laid down on the job because the doughty Johnson was carrying on the battle single handed? I much misdoubt it; There's always the danger in handling publicity of "bulling" your market and overshooting the assimilative capacity of your public, and something of that sort seems to have happened here.
