GIVE THE BOYS UNIFORMS.

HE fact remains that after all that has been saio there soldiers in camp in this city not pro
 vided with uniforms Perhaps they parade without them but in all probability they would fec more like doing If they had decent raiment. Ger tainly call to active duty would embarrass them Patience has been exhausted in waiting for Uncle Sam to act
 For the State of California to supply the needed uniforms would be excellent idea. In due time the expenditure would be made good by the General Government, and If it should not the loss would be a small one and easily to be borne California people anxious to do all they can to add to the comfort of the volunteers and by single act could >they do so much by clothing the brave boys the Governor of Kansas permitted to start out unpre- pared There IS naturally lack of precedents cover ing the matter. The suggestion that this action be taken must be unaccompaned by any suggestion as to the precise method, but there is an abiding faith that if Governor Budd to attempt to provide uniforms for the regulars quartered in this State would be opened and in due time way would appear by which the money would be returned
 California feels interest and takes pride 1n the soldiers who here. There is general regret that they have been neglected Cannot this great State do something for them?

THE MANTLE OF CHARITY.

THERE is no hesitation in giving money to the
 noble cause represented by the Red Cross. To
 alleviate the inevitable suffering of the boys at the front is project appealing to everybody. But there are others to whom charity will be glad to tend hand, and these are the women and children left without providers. It true that the great bulk of the volunteers unmarried but some of them leave families. Many among them have mothers or aged fathers who in measure depended upon them. The wage of soldier IS nothing. The pittance he receives will be of little avail n caring for anys wants but his imperative ones. He will at best be thousands of miles away Those who have leaned upon him for support will miss the sturdy arms
 There is movement started for the aiding of these dependents and 1t will appeal to all with almost the force that the needs of the volunteers themselves have done. When the boys have all sailed away, accom- panied by stores of comforts, with nurses, medicines and delicacies with funds for the purchase of more when need shall arise, there will be among us many who will require help. It will freely be given. Whether as branch of Red Cross work or as an independent scheme, the people will be ready assist all whose demand for aid is based on the fact that their boys are absent to fight the battles of their country, and perhaps never to return.
