is apparently ohscured by the white
metal epidemic, but only in the seeming.
es, some single-texers have the dis
ease. but always in a very mild form.
Some children will have the whooping
cough and hardly know it. That is the
way hysteria argenti affects single-taxers,
and yet there isn't goldbug among them.
You might have noticed that the
slngle-taxers have been writing the plat
forms for all the parties this year. They
got their resolution for constitutional
amendment adopted by the platform
committee at the Democratic State Con-
ventlon, and then some big landowners
got it turned down by trick. The same
men who did this have since boIted the
ticket. The Populists of Marin County
adopted the straight National single-tax
platform written by Henry George.
The favorite form of the movement in
California is a pledge by legislative con-
ventions and candidates to support con-
stitutionaI amendment removing restric-
tlons to legislative action on the subject
OF taxation and revenue. The Junta con-
vention adopted such a resolution, pledg-
ing It's candidates in strong terms. There
were few fossils there who frantlcally
hollered Single taxi but the majority
took the sensible view that the people
have right to vote on it if they want to,
and they also have right TO chance to
adopt the single tax if they want TO.
Tine same resolution was submitted to
the Republican County Convention, but
they threw it out. They thought it was
Terra del Fuegan war song, and by ris-
ing vote they declared The people amt
ready for it yet.' But tell it in whispers,
lest some one be scared white, they nomi-
mated several single-taxe for the Legis-
lature all the same.
But it is after all by saturating the
public mind with economic truth that the
| single tax philosophy is making its real
and its greatest advance, and not by the
passing of resolutions ana getting It's ad-
herents nominated for Office, or even
elected, until they shall be able to dictate
legislation. He is patient creature, the
slngle-taxer. and he rests secure in the
| knowledge that the single tax will arrive
on time; that 1t is due to arrive at the same
hour when the people of California gather
economic sense enough to perceive that
1t is not wise, does not conduce to their
| protection and prosperity and happiness
| withal to work five days out of every six
| for landlords and their agents and under
| strappers, the various Industrial monopo-
lies. A sure sign that it is coming is
found in the growing belief that the
| makers of our State constitution did not
| possess ali knowledge. They thought
they did and so they legislated to- the
| minutest particular for themselves and
their posterity, world without end. Hap
| PLY they are now all dead except General
Barnes and myself, whom Divine Provi-
dence preserves as awful examples"

The new Republican County Central
Committee met for the first time this
afternoon and organized. The personnel
OF the new committee is: F. ]. FIetter,
Alameda; j. H. w. Riley. Brooklyn; B.
C. Hawes, Eden; ]. H. Neal, Murray; ].
w. Striker, Oakland; S. c. Archibald,
Washington; W. w. Morrison, First
Ward; A. III. Breed, Second Ward; ]. I.
Palmer, Third Ward; Rod w. Church,
Fourth Ward; 7. NJ. Robinson, Fifth
Ward; Charles Mautalen, Sixth Ward, and
J. w. Evans, Seventh Ward.
After arranging for the debts that were
outstanding the old committee adjourned
sine die. After little speechiiying the
new committee proceeded to elect officers.
B. c. Hawes nominated f. ]. Fletter and
a. w. Breed nominated ]. W. Evans.
The vote was eagerly watched. 1t had
been given out, and the statement was es-
sentially true, that the vote for the chair
manship would determine whether the
old committee were to hold the balance of
power or whether the new blood would
prevail. 1t was known that there was
only one vote in doubt.
Evans took the floor and said that there
was no struggle between the members, and
paid a compliment to Mr.. Fetter. Mr..
Fletter did likewise. and when the vote
was taken Fletter courteously voted for
his opponent. The result was: Fletter,
z; Evans, 6.
The Evans votes were; Palmer, Breed.
Robinson, Fletter, Riley and Archibald.
The Fletter votes were: Mautalen,
Hawes. Church, Evans. Neal, Striker and
Morrison.
Mr.. Evans moved that Fletter's election
be made unanimous and it was imme-
diately done.
This was the first proof of harmony in
the County Committee for many years
and was quite a surprise to those who
have striven 10 preserve uDpleasantness
in the party. For the next two years
there is promise of bringing back the old
time Republican prestige of Alameda
County and il is q matter OF common con-
graduation among all members of the
party that harmony prevails at the outset
of 3 Presidential cam mpaign.

nounced as follows:

HYnariOn.

Fanny Davenport, supported by
competent company, headed by her
husband. Melbourne Mcdowell, pre-
sented Victorien Sardou's drama, "F'e-
dora" at the Hyperion theater last
evening before an enthusiastic and in
terested assemblage. Fedora" Is I'M
doubtedly one Of the most effective act
ing plays ever written. In all matters
Of plot reconstruction, stage device and
olimacteric development Sardou is pos
eessed Of astounding skill and amazing
ingenuity The character touches are
deft and clever, especially in the minor
personages of the plot. Fedora" Is
one of the most successful of the long
series contrived for the exploitation of
Sarah Bernhardt's strange genius.
Bernhardt's own magnetism and tenn
permanent were counted largely upon to
fill in the broad sketching of a charac-
ter like 'Fedora," and it needs the
warmth and color of Bernhardt's per-
sonaIity to make them human beings
and complete the semblance of life.

from vicious hate to tender affection,
from merriment to grief, were devised
Sardou's genius for providing acting
passages of overwhelming power and
in working up cli1naxes and dropping
the curtain at the moment of most ex-
ouisite suspense has never been sur"
passed. Even in translation and with
out the aptness of the French dialogue
ssFedora" remains powerful and breath
lessly exciting, even if not convincing.
Miss Davenport's name has been asso-
ciated with the character for many
years, and her acting has always been
warmly praised. She is an actress of
large experience. and she is now the
mistress of q ripened and chastened
art. and her playing last evening was
very deserving of all the applause it re-
ceived. The best scenes were those of
Loris' confession and the fnel scene.

Come to think about it, must be be-
cause they don't know what's made
them sick
If they knew that, they could pre-
vent it, and when they were SICK IN
some cases cure themselves. But, so
long as we don't take more care OF our
health, we shall always be more or
less sick.
The simple rules of health, are Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food.
scour out your stomach.
This last means Don't tolerate indi-
gestion Cure it with Shaker Digest
i've Cordial. A stomach full of undi-
gested, fermented, putrid food Is the
unhealthiest thing you can think of.
Helf our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons of undigested food.
More than half of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half because often when
we think we are sick we are only weak,
and a course of nourishing food digest
ed without effort by the stomach with
