FOR YOUNG AND FOR OLD.

ID Y the arrangements made for series OF articles
~ designed foT continuous home studies The Call
- will furnish every day papers OF instructive value
as we'll as of interest to the family The studies are
designed for the young well for the old While
the series upon the works OF Shakespeare will attract
the more thoughtful students OF the higher branches
OF literature the desk studies for girls and the shop
and trade studies for boys will meet the need OF
young people who wish to acquire information that
will be OF practical value them in the affairs of life
The education of the mind begins with infancy,
and so long the brain retains activity the educating
process never ceases. 1t is for each man and woman
to determine in what directions education shall go
forward The press furnishes information of all kinds
on matters of current interest the evil with the good
the trihing of life with those of the gravest
Importance but hitherto it has seriously set about
providing for its readers Of study having
definite purpose in the direction OF education That
which has been lacking in the past is to be made
up so far as The Call is concerned by the reading
courses which have been prepared under the direction
and supervision of Professor Seymour Eaton for
merly OF the Drexe Institute OF Philadelphia and one
Of the foremost educators in the United States
The studies selected sufficiently varied to please
the diverse tastes and interests For one class
Of students the articles the great artists of the
world will be most gratifying, while another will fol-
low with most attention those upon American states
men, or those which deal with domestic economy and
household science Each SERIES however, will have
something at least of attraction for all Boys can
profit much by following the articles designed as desk
studies for girls, while many girl who may have to
seek employment will find it to her advantage to study
carefully the instruction to be given in the shop and
trade studies prepared for boys.
The papers are, in fact, for the whole family. They
will be profusely illustrated and will supply pleasant
reading even to those who do not wish to take them
up serious studies To all persons engaged in
educational work they will be OF exceptional value
nasmuch every article is to be the work of man
or woman who has had large experience in educa-
ton in one form or another.

A GUERRILLA CAMPAIGN.

TIDE are the differences in the political stu
\Nj ations OF the various States where campaigns
are in progress this fall, there is one feature
common to ALL and that is the lack Of definite issue
upon which the Democratic party can ask the sup
port Of the people. In every State from Massachu-
Nebraska, the fight OF the Bryantes is scat
tering and ineffective 1t is like guerrilla warfare
futile sl,irmish along far extended line with no
direct assault anywhere.
From the Democratic campaign orators there has
been some denunciation of the gold standard of the
tariff OF trusts, and OF the general policy of the ad-
ninistration, but it that upon none Of these
issues have they succeeded in rousing any energy
among their followers and accordingly they run back
and forth from the other trying to find some
thing which if it be an issue will at least
form a campaign cry and serve to excite the masses
The trust question appears to be the favorite with
the campaigners in several OF the States and yet even
upon that issue there is lack OF conference and force
in the attack In Iowa the Democratic candidate for
Governor has endeavored to combine an old issue
with new one by attacking the tariff and de-
nouncing it the parent OF trusts Bryan in re-
speech tried fasten the silver question to the
theme by declaring the gold standard to be the
cause OF trusts, and in Ohio Mclean is attributing
the existence of trusts the general depravity of the
Republican party. Thus in one State Democracy
promises abolish trusts by the adoption OF free
trade in another by the reconciliation of silver and
third by the mere act of getting possession OF the
Offices
Such condition OF affairs in the counses of the
party is not conducive cearness OF thought among
the leaders OF the council and accordingly it is not
surprising to learn that when George Fred Williams
OF Massachusetts was asked by Boston reporter
what measures he would take to curb the evils of the
trust system he replied that "he believed that if

Success of the State Fair.
LIyermore Herald.

The State Fair was brought to close
last Saturday night after the most sue
cessful season in a decade. The State
Agricultural Society Will be enabled to
reduce the heavy debt under which 1t has
been staggering for years by at least half
and the way has been paved for equally
successful fairs in the future. All kinds
of causes have been assigned for this un
precedented success. The Citizens Fair
Association, a body Of representative
Sacramento business men, contributed a
great deal TO the success. An active and
able board of directors with a broad
policy was likewise a strong factor. The
press also contributed it's good offices.
But back of all these influences was the
directing hand of the new secretary of the
society, Peter ]. Shields. Mr.. Shields,
while retiring IN disposition, has rare ex-
ecutive ability and being in thorough
touch with all the interests represented at
the fair was able TO direct all the depart
ments to the successful issue mentioned
above. Under his capable administration
the State Agricultural Society should
wax stronger and stronger until its in
fuence upon the agricultural and racing
interests Of the State is as potent as If II
was a quarter of a century ago when 1t
was lusty infant and power for good

Does He Risk His HonorP
Rakersfield Californian.


Hon. Frank II. Short Of Fresno, stanch
Republican, astute politician and spell
binder of no mean order, is against ex-
pansion. He lately published an able
paper on the subject, and is again in print
in a forceful article in The Call arraigning
the policy of the administration with ref
erence to the Philippines. Among other
things Mr.. Short says:
1T is historically true that probably no
country or despotic ruler thereof ever un-
dertook to extend his jurisdiction over an
other country or people without asserting
some claim of right and an additional de-
sire to benefit not only his own country
but the country and people subjected
Alexander is reputed to have rather terse-
ly put It, If / have destroyed cities and
countries, / have founded greater The
Caesars destroyed civil liberty in Rome as
it had previously existed, and thought
they had more than recompensed
the Roman people by giving them an i'm
perial army and imperial power and the
imperial city of marble substituted for
the old Roman town of wood. But in the
light of subsequent history the change is
tage Of the Roman people"
If the Fresnan is not careful he will find
a wide chasm between himself and the
grand old party. Mr.. Short, by reason of
fitness, ability and location, is the logical
Congressional candidate of his party in
the Seventh District, and he should not
throw away his chance of Congressional
honors by refusing to follow his party
unless indeed, as is more than likely he
would rather be right than to win at the
game Of politics.
