A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Los Anaeles Times.


The San Francisco CALL, which has
livened up considerably under its new
management, announces that it will not
publish any advertisements of lotteries.
The CALL very properly says that these
schemes are fakes of the worst kind; that
their existence is violation of law; that
the law is a just one, and that it deserves
the support of every decent citizen and
every legitimate newspaper. 1t would be
good thing if some other newspapers in
this State which lay claim to decency and
responsibility would follow the example of
the CALL. A lottery is the most danger
Gus kind of gambling device, because it
places the opportunity for gambling at
every freside where a newspaper which
contains advertisements of the lottery is

to encourage these fraternal visits between
councils.
Grand Secretary Burton reports the order in
good condition financially. 1t was never bet
ter, considering the general depression of the
past three years. The order has done exceed
ing well in this State in the increase of its mem
bership.
The grand officers will soon visit the coun-

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Escondido Times.

The San Francisco CALL is strongly adj
vocating the holding OF the next Republi-
can National Convention in that city, and
back up its advocacy by offering to con-
tribute $4,000 toward the expenses. If San
Francisco will arise from its silurianism it
ought to get the convention as easily as
did Minneapolis two years ago. The bene-
fits that would accrue therefrom, not only
to San Francisco and this coast, but to the
whole West, are apparent to all. Let San
Francisco and the whole State put its
shoulder to the wheel and help push the
car for the National Convention started by

The members of Company e of the Third

been no second lieutenant for some time,
SO that First Lieutenant Fontaine is now
the .onl y commissioned officer of the or

Fontaine is the only man metioned so

OF the Second Brigade, has been detailed

Redtagds Citroaraph.

The new CALL, since coming into the
hands of Charles Shortridge, has had not
only a new life, but new kind ola new
life, infused into it. 1t has brought the
energy of youth to bear on its old-fash-
toned platitudinous columns, and the re-
suit is the discarding of all the old fake
methods used by its contemporaries, and
it relies on IMPARTIAL reports of all news
matters, disdaining all garbled local and
news reports. 1t has also quit keeping
shop in giving brass watches, glass-set
rings and all such ''truck" in attempting
to boom circulation

CLEAN JOURNALISM.

The San Francisco CALL has decided to
make another move in the right direction
in clean journalism by refusing henceforth
to publish the accounts of lottery drawings
and similar flake" schemes, and in fact

many supporters throughout the State,

THE JUMBO FRAUD.
Neoman Banner.

The San Francisco CALL has taken an
othe forward step in the direction of legiti-
mate journalism. Henceforth it will elm
mate from its columns all lottery adver-
tisements and lists of lottery drawings.
OF all the frauds of the age in "sure-shot'
gam bling, the lottery fraud is the Jumbo
of them all, for it reaches all kinds and
conditions of people, and under the allur-
ing promises of prizes that never come, ex-
tracts the money from the pockets of its
dupes, whose name is legion. We heartily
indorse the course of the CALL in this step
toward clean journalism and trust that its
laudable example will be followed by the
other metropolitan papers and the interior
press.
