are no grand pianos in Whites hotel. but In the

This opening OF Hotel White marks the

DEFEAT THEM AT

THE DUTY OF EVERY MAN.

Ceasing For Honesty, Law
and Order as Against Re-

"The way TO restore confidence Is to de-

which Major Mckinley puts It,

8 as being foul in the sight of man and de-
stfuctiye to morals and all good govern
Inent
Demagogues and political trioksters
must on that date be taught IN eyerlast-
ing lesson. The country at large should be
given an illustration Of its own strength,
Of its own virtue, of Its own intelligence.
The way to do this is TO work until the
last hour and work without ceasing.

They forget that you must make cloth
before you measure it, and that the weaver
must be employed before the yardstick is
required. But they say that the yardstick
is too long. answer, if you make the
yardstick 10 inches instead of SO inches,
Its present length, you will not increase
the output of cloth or its value or give an
additional days labor to the American
weaver, nor will SO cont dollar increase
our industrial enterprises to the actual
earnings of anybody or enhance the real
value Of anything 1t will wrong labor
and wreck values and has done so wher-
ever it has been used. More cloth might
require more yardsticks but more yard
sticks or shorter ones will not create de-
mand for more cloth.

Stand Tn For Your Country,

This is a year when old party devotion
counts for little, when some of the old
parties are united in the common object of
saving the country from dishonesty and its
currency from degradation. 1t is always
safe to range yourselves on the side Of your
country. 1t is always wise to stand
against lawlessness and Reputation. 1t is
always patriotic to stand against those
who are opposed to law and order, and
who would raise artificial barriers between

ly removes. That is why it is the only

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
VINO value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the

which is manufactured by the California
