PASADENA, Sept. 4.-The Republi-
can caucuses last evening at the Wig
wan. to nominate delegates to the coun-
ty and assembly district conventions,
brought out fair representation of
most of the precincts. though the Eighth
precinct only succeeded in mastering
votes. 1t was new thing to hold the
caucuses all under one roof, instead Of
each being held in its own ward, and
also somewhat Of an innovation to be-
gin voting at z o'clock instead Of 8. Some
Of those who took their leisure in get
ting there-and consequently lost their
vote-fancied that the change to an
earlier hour was part Of the scheme
engineered by "the machine" and when
the fact developed that there was con-
siderable opposition to H. H. Rose, the
Pasadena candidate for the assembly,
they thought they saw through the
scheme. So 1t was not exactly love
feast, though, Of course, 1t Is quite the
thing this campaign to swallow any sort
of dose that may be presented by the
managers" without grimace, "for
the good Of the party" and anybody that
objects Is promptly sat down upon. That
the Republicans of Pasadena are not
exactly of one mind, however, is borne
out by the statement of the News, that
out Of twenty-five delegates elected,
there will be fifteen for Rose and twenty
against him. It is said that those op-
posed to Rose will support Melick Of
Lancaster.
w. c. T. U. LECTURES.
Mrs. Mary A. Teats, state lecturer for
the w. c. T. u, spoke yesterday after
noon to women, and last evening at the
Y. M. G. A. rooms to men only on the
subject of Purity

sincerity, and q desire to do good. She
spoke Of the need of the White Cross
society on account of the great amount
of corrupting literature and the thous-
and and one devices that are adopted to
lure young people from the path of recti-
tude and purity. She thought that chill
dren should be taught the truth-not
some flgment of the magination-re-
garding the most vital questions with
which they will have to do as they
grow older. If they are told the truth
in a pure, chaste manner when they first
begin to inquire, 1t will have a lasting
impress for good.
The double standard of morality
makes it more important that young
men should have education and instruct
ion upon these subjects. The double
standard is all wrong. A boy should be
as carefully taught and educated to
speak and act as purely and chastely
as any girl Mothers meetings are being
held all over the land every day, in which
the best ways of bringing up children
are discussed.

are discussed men and women

in the right light. The best medical au-
