MIR. Smith, viee-president and managing

He was asked If he had read the article in
THE CALL TO the effect that the deal be-

Yes" replied Mr.. Smith, 81 have read

''Simply that we donate Mr. Spiers a GER

that within six months they must be work

principal motive that induced US TO grant

Rea's men there
Rea's man Kington Of Santa Clara found
this out at the last election.
Klngton was a Republican, but he was
one of the Jimreas and the people knew il.
Opposed to Kington was J. s. Whitehurst,
a Confederate Democrat, who would or
dinarily have been showed under by tue
Republicans in very sad way.
But knowing that the other man was a
Rea man, the Republicans voted for that
Confederate Democrat and elected him by
a large majority.
This sort Of history Is likely to repeat II
self.
Feeling this, the respectable Republicans
OF Santa Clara County want to rid them
selves OF Rea.
They want to sweep him and his gang
out.
They want to show once for all that a
Shiny creature such as this boss cannot sur
yiye In their midst.
The movement, headed by Francis Spen-
Ger, has already got a good Roadway. The
ranks of the indictments" are swelling
daily.
This worries Charley Sbortridge. as he
would lose good deal OF official pap IL the
decent element should gain full control in
San Jose.
He can be depended upon to stamp and
shake his fists and go into Mysteries from
this time until election day.
But every stamp and every shake loses a
vote for the gang, aud Charley ought to
know it.
He is known throughout the whole length
and breadth of Santa Clara County as Jim
Rea's prophet.
Nothing much worse could be said OF him.
Rea is worried, too He has the kind of
worry that attacks men who face defeat.
He will get his men togsther and work the
primaries as of old. He win fix up little
Jobs on this man and on that, and he will
throw all of his strength into the fight.

that Intoxicating liquors were great curse,
and that he would at once free his people
from the bondage of intemperance. He
therefore made IL grave crime to drink
palm wine and other intoxicating beverages,

reach of his people be Issued an edict that
all the palm trees in the country should be
cut down, and this destructive measure was
Immediately carried out. If the King had
stopped with this remarkable effort to
propagate the cause of temperance ali might
have Jared well with his people. but. un-
fortunately, he introduced practice which
was far more baneful than intemperance.
He introduced the culture of hemp. and
made hemp-smoking one of the religious
practices OF the country. TheneefOrth this
injurious vice was to figure among the rites
employed IN the worship of the native gods
The culture OF hemp rapidly extended
and the habit of hemp-smoking grew upon
the people until 1t has seriously injured

injurious than the excessive use of opinm.
Prince Ii. de Croy, who is the Commits

has been almost ruined i'm morals and
