To smoke or not to smoke" that is the

belch forth the b,ackest smoke and in
an incredibly short time give dusky

freshest gowns.

fifty strong in the rooms of the CONNER

A Plea for Local Option.

Eds. Record Union: Please give
space in your much read and appreci-
ated paper for this article, and oblige
many Of your readers.
To the California legislators now in
session in Sacramento, Cal.-Honor-
able Sirs: 1 saw in the last Sacramento
Weekly Union" that came to my table
that you have a bill before your hon.
orable body asking for local option on
the liquor traffic. Allow me, through
the columns of the Record Union" to
communicate with your honorable body
in regard to the needs of local option
on the liquor traffic. If you will give
your people local option, and they use
it as good citizens should they will free
your State from the greatest curse
known to civilization, and save your
young people from their greatest en-
envy.
l am an old California miner. and at
this time have an interest in a good
mine in your State, and have had much
trouble with men who were drunk.
Also. knowing that the liquor traffic is
the greatest curse that the human fam
lily has ever had to bear therefore.
take the liberty to address you, as a.
body of lawmakers, to ask you in the
name of God, and in the name of every
father and mother in your State, that
you pass the local option bill Cor some
thing better), that your people may
have a chance to vote out the un-
chained demon
While mining in your State last sum-
mer in the county where I worked
nearly every man / met drank, and a
good share of them We're drunkards.
Do you wonder that I want the demon
chained? The men who vote to license
this traffic, or any other that tends to
evil, ought to have the ballot taken
from them, because the franchise is
struction and that of our neighbor. The
liquor traffic does and will blight every
thing it comes in contact with. 1t is
doing more now to destroy the homes
of California than all other evils COM
bined. 1t is causing many wives and
mothers to give up child-bearing be-
cause they do not want their children
to be swallowed up by the saloons scat
tered all over your beautiful State.
Now, do you not see that to vote for
the liquor traffic you vote against the
best interest of your State? BY voting
in that evil you bring all the evils that
follow in it's train. Praying Gods Holy
Spirit to be with you in your delibera-
tons, and that you will give your peo-
pie local option, 1 am Yours truly,
JOHN w. GAY.

A QUARTER CENTURY.
Twenty-Five Years for Joe Martin
the Brighton Footpad.

Judge Hughes yesterday sentenced
Joe Martin alias THE Curly Kid" the
fourth member of the gang of ex-con-
victs who robbed and shot two Japs
near Brighton last August-to twenty
five years in San Quentin
Before imposing sentence the Judge
numerically scored the young hign-
wsyman, but if those cutting words
made any impression on him the sallew
features which stand out in strong
contrast to his raven-colored curly
locks gave no evidence of the fact.
During his trial it came out that
crooks almost have language of their
own. The words, the queer is on
means the moon is too bright for safety
in doing crooked work. Hitting the
grit" means going on foot on the rail-
road track. or walking instead of rid
ing. Bull stands for policeman.
'Slouse" means drunken man with
money in sight" yellow super" gold
watch white super" nickel or silver
watch. Making a Dip" extracting a
purse from pocket, or stealing a dia-
mend from shirt-front Rods
stand for pistols. Touching a peet,'
blowing a safe, and .hop-head,' an
opium smoker.
But the most unique burglarese word
is that which means a section boss and
his section men. In the lingo of the
knight of the sandbag and the jimmy
the section boss is known as THE
King-snipe of the Jerries."
When robber Burke was brought to
Sacramento under arrest for the
Brighton affair. and when nearing
Brighton Junction. he pointed out to
tthen) County Detective Max P. Fisher
the scene of the robbery, and when
nearing the section-house he pointed
out Mr.. Halloran, the section foreman,
and said There is the king-snipe Of
the jerrys. now. He got leery of us
guys, and he would give US no supper.
We hung around the next section house
for awhile and he got his rods ready.
We could have stuck bloke (stood up
a man. with a pistol, but the queer was
OF when the slouse was out No, the
Japs had no supers, neither white nor
yellow.
