Moreover Los Angeles is the abode
OF progressive thought, where the free
lance of opinion is shot abroad, whether
in sharp attacks upon the injustice of
present social and economic conditions
or in quest of moro occult psychological
phenomena.
"On an excursion to Santa Monica,
the seaport Of Los Angeles, we were the
guests of the Southern Pacific railroad,
and were carried by rail far out from
shore en- it's extended ocean pier, the
length OF which is 1920 feet"

Misfts.-Yeu cannot put new wine in
old bottles wasa truth uttered by the
Nszarene, doubtless from his own per-
sonal observation, and seen with varia-
tons in our own everyday experience.
The misfit goods auctioned by the OPP
pressed, vendors of the odds and ends of
the sold-out bankrupt manufacturers
give no little annoyance to the pur-
chaser who, in his eagerness to supply
his ergrowing wants, thinks to satisfy
them at the cheap cash store without

man that suffers from the untimely
forced sale of shop-worn goods he tries
by dint of economy to fit on and make

that the link is cut none OF US would

little misapplication "All men are
created equal" when the old constitu-
ton OF 1887 was voted in and a colored
man was counted 10 to in numerical
value for the white mans sail are
equal" And then there was a little
misft Of this same count in number for
Legislative representation when the
colored quantity, as to fitness, was
brought up in the great bred Scott
case when the three.fifth equation
of the colored population was, by jul
dicial Interpretation. valued as goods
or ctattles to be handled as the five
fifth white man desired. Then there
was another misit when this three-ffth
value as an individual was given the
ballot without previous fitness by meas-

We have some other mistits, though not
quite go old, that hang as a weight OF
metal armor on our body polite than
as an elastic garment made for national
growth. Our John Sherman gold basis
