Pending an appeal to the Supreme
Court he was confined in the County

TRYING HARD TO PULL CLARK OYER
O. A. Hale Of San Jose Has Now Joined the Army Of the

Dan Burns is presented to the people
of Santa Clara County. Had a single
member of the Santa Clara delegation
expressed before the election a pur-
pose to vote for Burns an overwhelm-
ing vote would have been cast against
him. A few of the politicians of San
Jose are for Burns but Mr.. Hale knows
quite we'll that the great majority of
people of Santa Clara County and a
large percentage of the citizens repre-
sented by Assemblyman Clark would
regard Burns election to the Senate as
disgraceful and disastrous

There is no question, therefore, con-

he did not in so many words ask As

suggested that he should vote for some
other candidate than Grant in order to

SALOONS FOR yINIrA.

The discussion OF the liquor
question begun in these columns q
few days ago and has continued
and crystalized into local politi-
cal issue, and it is presumed that
most of our citizens know which
side they are on. The statement
in local contemporary today that
perhaps a majority ofthe people Of
Vinita are in favor OF saloons and
gambling halls is startling, to say
the least OF ii. The full implica-
tion OF this remarkable statement
is that majority of our people
are in favor OF the open and flag
rant violation of the laws in force
In this country.
To place the issue upon mere
money basis does an injustice to
the spirit and moral standing of
tho people Of vinita. We cannot
believe that the tax payers Of the
town are willing to levy tribute
upon the poor drink-besotted
creatures whose unquenchable APP
petites drive them into the saloons
to spend their money for some
thing that is neither meat nor
clothing. The people who leave
town because there are no saloons,
houses Of i'll fame, or gambling
halls, are good radiance. The
travelling men who prefer to spend
their sabbath days in bacohanalian
debauch at Wagner and Musko-
gee, would not sweeten the atmos-
phere of Vinita. The suggestion
that our city government could
consistently license saloons and
get yearly income of $4,000, and
that gamblers and prostitutes
could be fined once a month, and
thereby lessen the taxes of the
property owners of.Vinita, is a.
monstrous proposition, and is an
insinuation that our city govern
ment is composed of men who
could afford to become partners
with habitIal breakers of the law
in order to replenish the city treas
ury. We do not believe the pres.
ent city government can be in
duced to take the step suggested
ndstultify themselves by agreeing
that the law may be violated for q
price.

key that escaped from a dog and pony
show then exhibiting on lot on West
Walnut Hills. Sandman was leisurely
pedaling down Stanton avenue on his
wheel about o'clock at night, when he
was attracted by "a peculiar figure
walking up the road before him. 1t
was a full-grown monkey dressed In
fire helmet, blue coat. brass buttons,
belt. and pantaloons. The monk was
running along on all fours. and Sand
man made a sprint to catch up. The
little animals acute hearing informed
1t that the officer was In pursuit, and
1t ran for the nearest tree, Sandman
followed and was lucky or unluchy
enough to grab 1t with firm hold by
the tail. The monk simply changed
hands on the bough, hanging on with
its hind feet. and grabbed Sandman's
hand In its mouth. The officer imme-
diately let go and did an impromptu
two-step about the middle of the street,
accompanied by some first-class rag
time swearing to the edifcatIon of a
crowd that collected. Numerous Of
fers Of advice now began to pour In.

breath suggestive of mixed ale stat
ed that he had read that monkeys are
often allured into captivity with whis-
ky, and II the officer would furnish him
with a bottle of that stimulant and
the crowd would retire he would seat
himself under that tree and when the
monkey came down he would get the
beast jagged UP and capture It, The
red-nosed mans suggestion was hooted
at Finally the officer decided to climb
the tree and capture the monk. Lay
ing his helmet on the curb, he Skinned
up the tree, which was a small one.
and slowly crept out on the limb to-
ward the missing link. Suddenly he
rubbed his eyes just as he was about
to reach forward and grasp the prize.

man. Hes over In that other tree!"
yelled the crowd, highly delighted.

ed a small boy. "Git down and climb

cluded that IL the monkey swung from
one tree to another with ease 1t was
useless to try to catch him. There
isn't anything in the police manual
about playing in tree tops with mon
keys, anyhow" explained Sandman to
the crowd; so he mounted his wheel
and rode away.
