A Plea From the Pulpit.

1t is popular thing in some pulpits
to-day, as in the past, to hurl flaming
denunciations against the rumseller
and the drinker. 1t is brave thing
to kick those classes, for they are
seldom found at church. But how
about the whiskyites in pulpit and
pew who by their ballots are not only
equally guilty with the others, but the
cause of the evil? How about the
purse-proud pew-holders who in the
face of these facts vote with rum-pol-
luted political porties?
In this holy reform we must not de-
pend on talk alone. Agitation is good,
but the ballot is better, when principle
is involved We should be as plain
and as 'harsh" as the truth of God.
People should know and remember
that the curse of God rests upon both
the vender and the consenting voter.
Nothing can be politically right that
is morally wrong. A man has right
to be a Republican or Democrat pro-
vided those parties do not stand for or
favor the saloons. But if they stand
for the saloon, they stand for all that
is wrong-"the sum of all villianies"-
and an immoral political party is no
better than an immoral man. The
Democratic and Republican parties
to-day stand for little else than "Beer,
Doodle, and Brutality" People may
call that "politics" if they will and
make the most of it. / call it pat
riotism.
In this day of light, liberty and
truth, any party platform that does
not protest against the saloon is a
base and cowardly platform. If you
doubt it, then read the resolutions of
references, associations, synods, and
assemblies. The General Conference
of the Methodist Church and the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyte terian
Church have declared that Christian
men ought not to vote for candidates
or parties that are not found openly
and aggressively opposed to the saloon
and committed to the cause of Pro-
hibition. And surely there ought not
to be no tie, interest, or consideration
that can bind Christian citizen to
any organization that will not stand
out and up for righteousness. Loyal
ty to party at the expense of princi-
pie is disloyalty to God; and men who
believe in Him will vote right whether
it takes them out of an old party or
into a new one; whether they win or
lose. Vote only for principle and the
party that stands pledged to put prin-
ciple into practice, and you can never
throw away your vote. The Iowa an
nual conference is right when it says
"our politics and religion should be
well shaken before using" / plead
for patriotic independence in politics
the Christian courage to apply NOR
ality to public affairs.

BARBED WIRE FORESTRY

The agricultural department. of the

wire fence on their forest plantations at
Santa Monica. Their inspector, Mr..
Shinn, says that this will be done on &C.

the forest trees at the station. In the
Santa Monica Outlook he says that at

some florist, botanist or scientific per-

ALL AROUND THE WORLD

Daniel Webster cigars are always n
demand because they are choice goods.
When you smoke 10-cent cigar suppose
you try Daniel Webster.
Many people have heard OF the Marie
Antonette cigar. There's no better sold.
When you can buy Marie Antoinette
cigars for 10 cents, why will you smoke
others?
Marie Antoipette was fam Gus in history.
The Decent cigar named for her Is just
as famous now.
There are many cheap cigars in the
word. but there is only one best one that
carries the worlds record for the biggest
sales, and the name Is the Grand Re-
public cigar. Costs nickel and pleases
the SID oker every time.
If you should place all the Grand Re-
public cigars that have been sold end to
end, they would reach six times from
New York 10 London, six times from
Los Angeles to Washington, and four
times from San Francisco to HongKong
20, 900 miles of them.
1t would take railroad train running
fifty miles an hour sixteen days and six
teen hours to pass a line of all the Grand
Republic cigars end to end that have been
sold. There's a reason why so many OF
them are smoked. 1t is not the price
alone. but 1t is the superior quality of
the cigar itself.
The Grand Republic cigar satisfies
SIN okers, leads The trade and makes
friends wherever it goes; that's some OF
the reasons why over 800, 900. 600 OF them
have been sold, and it is the reason why
their sale is steadily growing.
It's just like finding money to buy
Grand Republic cigars for cents save the
bands, take them to Adelsdorfer d.
Brandenstein, 232 North Los Angeles
street, and get one OF the money prizes
am bunting to $40.
Well-bred men smoke Grand Republic
cigar, and nobody knows the difference
because they are we'll made from long

You can find out all about the prizes
for the biggest number of ban( presented
from Grand Republic cigars by calling on
any cigar dealer or A. Sch wamm, 232

Yesterday a rnoon her husband went
there and forced her to give him the child

gone there, but without success. She then

Officer Rico went with her. Wicks was

A PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION

In connection With the sessions OF the
Woman's Parliament of Southern Cali
fornia, which is now being held in this

nent women? Are they the native born
women who have achieved distinction
here and elsewhere, or are they women
born in other parts OF the country who
have done or are doing their most note.
worthy work in California?
In the field of state biographies, for in
stance. where should the line be drawn?
The question "Who are California wo-
menu can best be answered by them
selves. Women seem to differ in local
attachments. But the more advanced
classes take deepest root where they can
individually thrive. It is largely a mat
ter Of feeling and sentiment. A woman
OF so, who was born in Illinois, but has
spent the last twenty years in California,
said recently: II can scarcely claim now
to be an Illinois woman. I never did
much there but keep the fires going in
winter and all the year around wash
dishes and peel potatoes. Here I
have painted pictures. Here only
would the best OF me seem to have been
born" Another woman said: IT wished
lately in giving data for my biography
that need not say was born any
whore. Ny pride consists in being a
Southern California woman, although l
did not come here until past 3O'
Therefore in strife among biographers
Of local celebrities there seems to be but
one solution of difficulties, and that is to be
given by the person most concerned.
However, it is pleasant thing to meet
women from all parts OF the globe and
find that majority of those who have
migrated to California prefer to have it
said that they belong to it.
OF Frances Willard some one said: "The
whole country claims her, but she was
born in Wisconsin,
One very highly gifted woman who
first saw the light in Ohio, but has
nearly always lived in California, and
would fain be considered a native, mod
estly smiled and said: Genius has no
age or birthplace" thus refusing to be
localized. though she did not assert that
all the privileges of genius were naturally
allowed her.
Is Gladstone's position right when he
says that no biography of man or wo.
man should be published until thirty
years after the death of the subject?
Perhaps be has been incorrectly reported.
At any rate, the newspapers of today
are much more interesting to the average
reader than they would be if cuts and
biographical paragraphs related only to
the men and women whose voices and
pens have been silent over quarter of
century.
