THE waning fortunes OF the pee

of the world than now. Never be-

In closing this series Of the DAILY
JOURNAL . parting word 10 In order
about the welfare Of our city. We
are on. the verge OF an era Of general
prosperity. This seems the univer-
sal belief. and when people believe
themselves prosperous they are
generally not otherwise.
Salinas advantages are known
and need no explanation, but we
hope to see every man In his own
way pushing the town to the front.
We have gained much but we need
more. In today's paper are to be

entering the field Of greatness In
material things.
1t Is hard to find a single person
here who has not uudoubted faith In
our city's prospects. Would that
there were more who were giving
that faith an active exercise. In
times past we have seen the folly Of

tious real estate boom does more
harm than good, and we have also
learned that II We take care OF other

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

What easy times our fathers had they lived a
natural way,
To earn half dollar then they had the whole
long day,
Some fourteen hours did they have this meager
sum TO win
The whole. long. blessed day to earn half a
dollar in.
How light their lot compared with ours I'VE have
TO squirt and spin
We who are granted but six hours to earn
twelve dollars in
1"ohundred dollars in a year was all they had
to earn
But we mnst earn ive thousand-Wiu those
old days ne'er return2
And they had twelve months to earn It, four
teen hours to the day
put We have TO have vacations which steal half
our time away,
We've only six hours in the day and eight
months in the year
IN which to earn five thousand-ah, too great
the strain fear.
They had so long to earn little. but our hard
life is such
That we have little time to work in order to
earn much
How rich our fathers were-in tine-hoyy prodi-
gal and rich
What vast amounts nf time they gave for small
amounts Of cash
And how we sigh for those old days Of moderate
events,
When one had fourteen hours in to which earn
his nifty cent;
But now we work like galley slaves, and wreck
and waste our pow
For sixty cents in sixty seconds, an, what a life
is ours.

The Origin of BENEFIT orders.

A humble mechanic in a small
Pennsylvania village, twenty-one
years ago, quietly, unOstentatiously,
and even to himself unconsciouslY,
touched a spring which set IN opera
tiOn a movement which has proved
in itself to be the most valuable and
important system Of protection for
the home mankind has ever possessed.
He lived to witness the development
of his simple idea into the great
Fraternal Beneficiary system. He
saw the army of brothers from his lit
tie band of men in Meadville increase
year by year in numbers, in strength
and character, until there had passed
in review before his happy vision al
most million of fraternal men en-
listed under the standard which he
had raised, and confident of protec-
tiOn assured to their homes. The
records spread before him evidenced
the distribution, by virtue of its sim
pie operation, of more than one hun
dred millions in the homes of the
common people of his country; those
who needed could have, because the
beneficent system had brought the
price of protection within the means of
the humblest mechanic at the bench,
the clerk at his desk, and the labOrer
who titled the soil. A few years ago
his spirit was borne by the angels to
the eternal realms, there to receive
the reward due the faithful who had
served well their fellow men; and to
hear the messages of gratitude which
shall arise from thousands of homes
made, and to be made, comfortable
by the benefaction of fraterntties
founded upon his simple plan. His
body was tenderly laid to rest by his
mourning brethren. His memory is
held in loving remembrance by the
fraternal men of every society and as
ISOLATION, and the grand Order which
he founded has erected, and dedicated
by fitting ceremonies, and with
words which will enGure, even after
the material which cOmpoSes it shall
have crumbled into dust, a magnif1
cent monument to perpetuate the
name of John j. Upchurch.-J. Has

The King of Siam is said to per-
ambulate the streets of his capital
disguised in plain clothes for the pur-
pose of learning the true condition of
the people and initiating reforms,
several of which have already been
started. The chief evils in Siam are
ser'dom, slavery, the farming of taxes
and the corruption of justice. Serf-
dom is universal. with the result that
a man is quite uncertain when he
may call his time and labor his own.
for so many months in the year he is
bound to serve his chief, and at any
time he may be called on for Especial
Kings service. For instance, when
a King is on his travels every district
through which he passes is called
upon to supply him with food and
transport. If news comes that a
prince or high Official is travelling it
is not uncommon for owners of boats
to request a European subject to take
temporary charge of them, while
they themselves disappear in the jun

His mother believed that a little
hardship would soon bring him to his

trifles as waiting upon himself. In
