Perfection in
Every Garment
Made by Us

There are houses in our line which
make every effort to compete with the
Hub. but they use poor wires and have
cheap operators. They pose as manufac-
turers' which fact is certainly unknown
in Los Angeles even among the merchants.
1t is possible, judging by the class of mer-
chandise they offer, tempting the people
with Mems Suits at four dollars and some
odd cents, that if they manufacture at all,
is it not in Chinatown of San Francisco
If not, the Hub would like to know, for the
benefit of merchants who wish to be at all
times posted in manufacturing, where their
factory really is. Ask the gentleman whose
picture is herein portrayed, and who is the
president of tn. Merchants Association, if
what we say is not the truth.

CHILIANs BUILDING RAILWAYS
Government Borrows Money From Eu
ropeans for This Purpose

1OPCdAAS AoA l 44S Z uI HOSS
The Chilians, the Yankees of South
America" are moving in the matter of
railways, and the Chilian government is
considering an offer from German syn
dicate of $35,OOO.00O at AZ per cent to be
expended in building lines. The offer
is stroke of enterprise not merely as
an investment. but because of the foot
hold it will give Germany in South
American industries. In a mountain
GUS country like Chilli $35, ,OOO, 900 will not
build many miles of road, especially
since the first effort will probably be to
scale the Andes and establish communi-
cation with the Atlantic states, but it
will build so much that more must he
had in order to make the first available.
In the end. it is most probable the sum
will amount to $100,000.O0 or more, be-
sides which many other millions will
have to be invested in equipment, and
Germany will be in a favorable position

A PHILADELPHIA Street Car Idyl.

The old Callowhill street horse cars,
relics of the antetrolley days, were never
remarkable for great speed. A lady and
gentleman boarded one of these cars the
other night about 1890 O'Clock and
after jogging along for several blocks
the car came to standstill. Then the
front door opened and the drivers head
appeared. "Say, Bill" it called back
to the conductor, won't you run O. r
to the drug store and buy me q stamp?
I've got to write to my girl tonight. !"
Nothing loath, Bill did as requested and,
after a short chat with the clerk, saun-
tered leisurely back to his car. At Six
teenth street the lady and gentleman
alighted, expecting to take north
bound car, but none was in sight. Turn.
ing to the conductor, the gentleman re-
marked jestingly: "You kept us waiting
while you got your stamp. Why not
wait here until our car comes?" Bill
motioned to the driver, who was watch
ing him, and said: Jim, this gent
wants me to wait here until their car
comes. Can't we do it?" "Why, cert, {"
replied Jim. The Sixteenth street cars
were blocked, and it was ten minutes
before one came along. GOOD night, 1"
called Bill as his two passengers alight-
ed. "See youse againP'-Philadelphia

continued with renewed vigor and the In
domitable hero was placed in the White
House by the votes of the common people
In 1898, ana again in 1882. His benign
administration of eight yers broke the
chains Of bondage with which pl tucracy
had bound the limbs Of thu people. The
money sharks, however, did not give
up their occupation, but they were unable
to combine their forces and obtain the
control Of the government until the
war between the sections, was hagrant.
They took advantage Of the distress of
the country, organized a money COM
bination with the plutocraoy of Europe,
and have controlled the legislation and
administration Of the country up to the
present time The combination now in
cludes the entire civilized world. The
two old parties were the tools Of plutoc-
racy for more than twenty five years. The
common people had no organization
against them uutil the Peoples Party was
formed, and there was no union between
the forces of the common people in
favor Of a restoration of the money Of
the constitution and the laws of Q
better days of the republic until the
patriotic, liberty-loving forces united In
the support of william J. Bryan for
president.
Be not discouraged. The wicked
who hate free institutions are di d
from the righteous, who believe in the
right of the common people tp rule
them sci yes. The line OF demarkation
Is drawn and will be maintained until
the government Of the United States
shall be wrested from the Anglo-Ameri-
can syndicate and restored to the
people. The progress made in the cam
paign of 1895 is far greater than the
campaign of jackson, in 1924, and the
victory of the people in 1900 will be
grander and more glorious tnan the
victory Of the old hero in 1926.
Yours very truly,

one GREAT DISCOVERY
Follows Another - Read and Keep
Posted.

The advance in medical science Is
greater than in any other branch. The
discovery ofthe x rays and the finding
of malaria in the blood by analysis are
the most recent discoveries, but not
the greatest by any means. The dis
covery of remedy or medicine that
will instantly bring relief to almost any
form of disease we think Is beyond
conception. A remedy that does not
require hours and hours of patience
and pain before relief comes has been
discovered. Poohl you say. Would
you have believed few years ago that
the telephone is such great invention
as it is? Just so it is with the great
discovery of Lightning Hot Drops, a
remedy that stands today without an
equal, without parallel for the cure of
all stomach and bowel troubles, caused
by over-eating, indigestion, dyspepsia.
Relief comes so quickly you will be
astonished, and the fact that 1t leaves
no bad results is the beauty of it. The
action of Lightning Hot Drops is mar
velous, yet harmless, and you will be
surprised to know how many different
kinds of ailments you will find it good
for, and ifyou once use 1t you will have
no occasion to keep cupboard full of
different kinds ofbottles, for Lightning
Hot Drops will do the work of plasters,
pills, ointments, tonics, ETC., and save
you lots ofmoney, for it costs only 25c,
and the SOC size holds % times as much
as the 25c size, and it is sold with the
positive understanding that if it gives
no relief your druggist will give your
money back. Made by Herb Medicine

Jennings Bryan, as we'll as in honor OF
the great patriotic Democratic leader,
Andrew Jaoskon, has been received.
wish to express my regrets that cannot
personally attend yo1r banquet and enjoy
the hospitalities you have SO kindly ex-
tended. The campaign begun at Chicago
in July last, SO ably and gallantly led
by our distinguished leader, william j.
Bryan, was one OF tine most remarkable
in our history. Remarkable from the fact
that the Democratic party, aroused to
the true spirit OF Jeffersonian and Jack
sonian Democracy, broke the shackles
by which the administration had sought
TO enslave the party and proclaimed to
the world at the Chicago oonventio n
once more the great truths Of Democracy,
MS given to us by the founder Of that
party, Thomas Jefferson and so ably de-
Tended and enforced by that great warrior,
patriot and Democrat, Andrew jackson,

United States. For the first time In

growing out Of these subjects, that had
divided and distracted the people Of our
country and had interviewed to prevent
the coming together Of our great party
upon great economic Democratic issues
that were presented In the better days
Of our republic. The issues growing
out Of the great controversy between
Thomas jefferson and Alexander Ham
liton with regard to the great principles
underlying our free institutions, that
great Democrat, Thomas jefferson, In
sisting upon the largest liberty OF the
citizens, the equality Of the States
and the reservation to the people every
right not specifically delegated by them
or through their States TO the Federal
government. The great fight that
Jefferson made against national banks
and all forms of federal monopoly OF
whatever character laid the foundation In
the discussions of these subjects for that
great party that has lived from the time
of our constitution until the present.
the party of jefferson.
The Chicago platform Of July last
followed closely the teachings oi
Jefferson and the practice of jackson
and the Democratic fathers upon the
currency question, the rights OF the
people an dignity of the states; but the
Hamilton plutocraoy, by tho corrupt use
of money and by unblushing domination
with their ill-gotten wealth in terrorizing
and bribing their way to power, succeeded
in defeating our efforts to restore our
government to Democratic rule and has
aroueed in the minds of the people as
never before the consideration as TO
whether we are to be free people or to
be ruled for all time by an insolent
and arrogant plutocracy. That on edu'
Gated, patriotic people such as ours, once
aroused upon this subject, will re-assert
their rights and restore their government
to that purity Of character, with equality
and justice intended by our fathers n
taught by jefferson and enforced by
Jack son, there can be no doubt. That
we will win q glorious victory in the
near future Oh the lines of the Chicago
platform is certain.
wish to convey to you and through
you to the Bryan Free Silver Club, Of
Canton, my thanks for the courtesy
you have shown me, and my hope is
that ou tjEGI i7triCD iIttsI Ui6jly all
such as yours, will keep the campflres

put, prepared to rejoice in their success

Municipal Time at Glasgow.

scribed as municipal time for the entire
city. Some years ago the experiment
was tried of placing municipal clocks
in prominent positions all over Glasgow
and regulating them by synchroniza.
ton. The present scheme is much more
elaborate and is nothing less than the
establishment of system of standard
time, by means of electrically controlled
clocks, regulated every second from the
stellar clock at the observatory. A reg
ulating clock, directly controlled from
the observatory, has been placed in the
city chambers, and this in turn controls
three circuits of public clocks at vari-
Gus points in the city. In the meantime
only about a dozen clocks have been
provided, but if the trial proves sue.
cessful the corporation intends to erect
from 200 to 800 18 inch dials, thus pro.
viding reliable system of standard
time for all parts of the city. This ex-
tension of the circuit will involve the
laying of Gl miles of wire. 1t is hoped
also to include time keeping in private
houses. Westminster Gazette.
