The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
THE SUMMER MONTHS.
Are You going TO the country on vacation {? II
70 It is no trouble for US TO forward THE CALL TO
your address Do not let It miss you for you will
miss it. Orders given 10 the carrier left at
Business Office will receive prompt attention.
NO EXTRA CHARGE. Fifty cents Der month
Sor summer month";
Chinese cigars are not only unhealthful
TO the smoker but give t. anybody in the
vicinity perfect right to protest.
America does not approach the task OF
feeding the world with any latent mis-
giving lest the contract be too great.
The Klondike tourist hanged by his fell
low-travelers may have had last COM
torting thought that he was going to miss
hard winter.
The day that passes now without the
revelation of at least one plot to murder
royalty certainly falls below the high
standard of the times.
II refusing to marry a man diplomat
ically chosen for her Hollands little
Queen shows that she is of good enough
stuff to be an American girl.
Up-to-date 1t is to be noted that the
hands iingling most of the coin derived
from the rise in wheat are not hands cal
loused by contact with the pillow.
An an-grinder arrested recently had
$685., the proceeds of one incom pIete day,
which shows that certain industries have
escaped the blight of hard times.
If everybody who claims to have seen a
balloon lowering over widely diverse
parts of the Arctic is correct, a Klon-
diker could not well shoot into the air
without bringing down an aeronaut
What has become OF the cheering rumor
that Gomez was about to lay his hand on
Weyler's collar and jerk that rufianly
monster out of the palace window? But
anyhow the rumor was soothing while it
lasted
In commendable effort to keep pace
with California cities several Eastern
municipalities have forbidden the copious
expectorator to deluge his environment.
1t is pleasing to observe a good pattern
thus be ing followed.
There is no particular harm in discov-
ering Murderer Durham once in awhile,
not even to Durham himself who has &C.
quired an almost Hearst-Iike facility for
not being present when he would add in
terest to the occasion.
John Bull ia said to be grabbing the
outskirts of Hawaii, and there is no doubt
that he would consult selfish interest by
letting go without delay. In the game of
grab on Pacific waters the United States
Government Is umpire.
To advance the welfare of California, to
promote the development of her indus
tries and the prosperity of her people is
the chief object of The CALL, and who
ever co-operates in these things may not
be working for THE CALL, but is certainly
working with it.
Ohio Populists are to be congratulated
upon having named Coxey as their candi-
date for Governor. Coxey is entirely &C.
customed to being licked, and there are
few people whom the country at large
could behold getting licked with such
entire equanimity, an emotion in this in
stance little short Of satisfaction.
The tendency to make heroine of the
young woman across the bay who DELHI
erately committed murder is already
manifest. Yet there is nothing really
brave in shooting a man who has been
given no warning, and has not been guilty
OF capital offense. The young woman
should be shut up and hysterical report
ers, be and she, should be shut up also.
One OF the murderers now in San Quen-
tin and hopeful of having a dsagreeabe
sentence to hanging committed to impris-
onment for life seems not unduly san
guine. His was double killing, more
than ordinarily brutal. According to the
mercy extended TO the assassin with only
one victim to his credit the assassin
who has achieved two can reasonably ex-
pect cemency little less than tender.
The sea captain who says he passed
close TO q collapsed balloon, but did not
stop to investigate, probably thought it
easier to tell lie of this easy style and
not bother with details. Many sea cap
tains from time to time are said to OBJ
serve marine serpents OF imposing magni-
tude, yet when they get 10 describing the
color of scales, the length of neck and the
blazing beacons that serve as eyes, it is
their habit TO get sadly mixed. The cap
lain with the balloon yarn was merely
cautious.
There is something in the war rumor's
tenacity strangely suggestive of the many
lives wherewlth the cat is blessed. Only
a few days ago this country was prepar-
ing to fight Japan, and with peaceful in
tervals while the rumor-makers are con-
irving other surprises continues to do so.
Spain also is booked for a iuoicious
thrashing by Uncle Sam, and now neces- |
sity has arisen not only for twisting the
lions tail but yanking 1t out by the roots |
and using it as fail to beat the animal. |
