REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
Resolutions Adopted Unanimously Commend
ing Congressman Mel LachIan

In Justice Morrison's court room
there was last night held meeting of
the Young Mems Republican league, at
Wnlcn Dut scant representation turned
out. What the meeting lacked in point
OIL numbers it made up in the way of
speech making and "resolooting." The
subject of Congressman McLachlan's
attitude on certain questions lately un-
uer discussion was brOached and a
series OF resolutions proposed COM
mending him for his course as a. con-
Sressman and representative of this
section. After remarks by several
speakers, among them Assistant Dis
trlct Attorney McComas. who paid a
high compliment to Mr.. McLachlan as
q gentleman and friend, the resolu-
tions were adopted unanimously. Roy
Jones OF Santa Monica was present and
followed in a few remarks, in which he
SAID that Santa Monica would be found
IN line to support SO able and capable
q legislator.
Tax Collector John Gish and c. C. Nc
Comas were elected to membership in
the league. and speeches were then in
order Judge Holton made a few re-
marks upon the necessity of sending a
united and harmonious delegation to St
Louis, and was followed by Mai. Red

no meeting will be- held, and adjourn
ment was taken until two weeks from

A debate, resolved that silver and
sold should be coined at the ratio OF lo
to 1 was the next feature of the evening,
and was conducted in spirited man
ner by A. M. Niles, affirmative, ano
VIM. J. Ford, negative. An excellent
speech was made on each side, leaving
the audience to form the conclusion.
Mr.. w. d. Ball, secretary of the asso-
citation, presented statement OF
Facts and Figures" in which he point
cd out the objects of the educational
course to he a systematic, thorough and
accurate training in commercial, sci
entifc and industrial lines for practl-
cal business purposes. In many inter-
esting statements of educationary sta
tistics, Mr.. Ball showed that out OF fiVe
boys who were in school at II years o!
age, four dropped out before IA and
three at the age of 16 and II. And
these, realizing the deficiencies of
education, constitute the class
the Y. NJ. c. A. is striving to
reach. He also proved in figures that
wherever religious influence was
thrown around Il school there had been
decrease of crime. The matter OF
vital importance presented by Mr.. Ball
was that means and opportunities
might be developed by which the in
dustrial element just introduced in the
educational course might be extended
whereby those boys who are not
wealthy enough to go to Throop and
not bad enough to be sent to Whittier
might find instructin in the Y. M. c. A.
The entertainment closed with the
important feature of awarding prizes
in each Departmental S. membership
in the association. In the Spanish class
two prizes were given, one to Mr.. +. j.
Harrison of the advanced course, who
is an engineer and does night work that
he may attend the classes, and the
other OF Mr.. c. c. Brewer, letter car
rier. Mr. Wright of the high school
took the prize for shorthand. In arith-
rnetic Mr.. Ragland was the winner; in
Ienmanship Mr.. J. Huehn and w. r..
Simms were both awarded prizes; in
vocal music the prize was divided be-
tween G. S. Green and F.. r. Lerrigo.
In mechanical and architectural draw
ing, bookkeeping and English the
awards will be made known later.
Samples of mechanical and architect
ural drawing of high standard of ex-
ceilence were exhibited after the enter
tainment, as well as specimens of car
pentry, marking the various stages of
advancement of the industrial class.

o'clock Thursday night, when q young
man mounted upon q wheel and going
in the same direction thought to light
en- his labor in pedaling by attaching
himself to the rear rail of the car by one
hand and thus allow himself to be
pulled along. All went we'll for a time.
The scheme worked beautifully until
Zip.-the pneumatic tire struck q

another direction and with equal We

turned and found the wheelman un-
conscious, and he remained so for some
time. When. at last, he regained his
normal condition he refused to give his
