A PROSPEROUS INSTITUTION.

A representative of The Republican had the pleasure recently of visiting 1.-the Los Angeles Business College. He
 was surprised at the magnitude of the IinstitutiOn and the scope of the work done there. Even at this time of the
 year he found the school in full prog
 Tcss. In the commercial department | the students were all busy at work, studying or recitirg the various com- mercial branches.
 In the bookkeeping work, after few preliminary drillse in journalizing, the student begins the work of real book 1 keeper. and continues this work | throughout the course. He takes po- sition in which the proprietor gives him ] full directions as to his duties, and ex- plains to him fully the different prin- ciples of double entry bookkeeping. | He makes all his entries from the various business papers, just the same as the bookkeeper does in actual busi ness.
 He is taught how to brief and file every business paper received. His work covers the entire range Of business transactions from the simplest to the most difficult
 
 at maturity. and attends to the general banking business of the firm. He writes and receives letters per taining to all of the affairs of the business. and thus secures first-class drill in correspondence Each student gets a thorough drill in commercial law. In this subject ?le is taught the law of contracts. negotiable paper partnership, agency. and all about deeds. mortgages notes, drafts, bills of exchange. checks. etc.
 He is taught how to organize and conduct a corporation.
 The business practice department is a special feature of the institution. Here a great variety of business trans actions is represented. The student buys and sells goods on his own respon- sibility, makes shipments. receives cor signments. sells goods for consignors. opens account with the bank. makes collections through the bank. remit tances through the mail. and conducts a general business correspondence, re- oeives and issues all kinds O. commer- cisl paper. The offices of this depart ment are fitted up in regular counting house style, the books used being the same in like office in actual business. The school maintains large and thoroughly up-to-date shorthand de- pertinent, and we understand that ap- rlications for stenogra phers from busi- ness houses in Los Angeles and adjOin- ing cities are greater than the school can supply. The salary paid sten- ographers and bookkeepers varies from S1O to $25 per week.
 The school occupies the entire fifth floor of the Currier building. which is located in the heart of the city and accessible by street ear from all sec tions
 The school maintains a department of telegraphy which affords young men and women unsurpassed facilities for learning railroad and commercial tele- gra uhy in the most thorough and prac- tical manner.
 There is also a department of assay ing and mining in connection with the institution. This course consists of in structiCns in the assaying of gold. sil- yer. lead and tin ores, and gold and

THE SCIENCE OF LOANING
 MONEY.

There is a new announcement in this mornings paper from the well-kuowu business man and capitalist. z. P. Creasinger. For nearly twenty years Mr. Creasinger has been a leading
 inancier of Los Angeles. and has all ways made the leaning of money for clients a leading feature of his busi- ness. He points with pride to the fact that he has lost not one dollar of money placed in his hands for investment. H.. has an invariable rule of being sure of the reliability Of the propositions he handles. He pays interest every month and principal when desired.
 The business activities of Los An ge1es at the present time make that city a good point to loan money, and q financial agent of the standing Of Mr Crcasiager offers facilities for invest ment far better than one can ihdividu- ally find. As he says in his advertise ment many of the Los Angeles invest ments are as safe as a government bond. but to know the safe investment is the difficult point. And it is hera that MT. Creasinger's services are valu- able. He guarantees to secure as high as one per cent a month on money placed with him.
 Mr. Creasinger is proprietor of the famous Matilija Springs, where many Arizonians have passed part of their summer vacation. He has recently eX- pended a fortune in improvements on Matilija, and it is this summer recog- nized as one of the social centers of th9 coast.
 Enterprises fostered by MT. Creasin- ger always succeed. He owns a valua ble stock farm and is said to be an eX- pert in the judge of horse flesh.

a LONG RANGE OPINION.

The Minneapolis Journal gets its
information at very long range, which
justifies the belief that it does ont
know what it is talking about when it
says that Iowa democrats did not
think it necessary to bind themselves
to the dead corpse of the Kansas City
platform, in which respect they differ
from the Ohio democrats. But then
the Iowa convention was not dominat-
ed by boss who has presidential as
pirations which will not let him antag-
onize the Bryan ring, although he pro
fesses no faith in the Is to PROPOSE

The Iowa convention was dominated
by boss and that boss was Horace
lRoies. of Waterloo. The good faith of
the one time democratic governor of
Iowa cannot be questioned, but he is
out of tune with large part of the
democratic party in Iowa. There are
several strings on the old instrument
that need attention but the populists

mesh not only such leaders as General
j. B. Weaver, but the entire populist
party in the state which had become
affiliated with democracy. The time
was when the democratic party was
glad to give the populsts all they
wanted in order to prevent division
of the vote which would have showed
that the populists were in the MAORI
ty. But now when the democrats
have secured such hold as they have
at present and have seduced the pop
ulists into disbanding, the reins are
frightened and populists are not only
made to swallow democratic doctrine
but are in future to be led by the gold
standard men of the party.
1t is humiliating position but the
populists must either submit, join the
ranks of socialism or go back to their
former organization.
Already the straight out populists in
this district are raising their voices in
loud protests against the policy adopt
ed at Des Moines and are blaming
such leaders as General Weaver with
having been responsible for the initial
step which led them into the folly OF
disbanding the organization.

MR.. REESE ONCE MORE.

1t has been stated with a seeming
show of authority that John P. Reese,
democratic nominee for congressman
in the Sixth congressional district, has
for a part of his political faith the
principles advocated in the Kansas
City platform. In the absence of an
expression from Mr.. Reese the state
ment cannot be taken as authorita-
tive. One reason is because the Cour-
Ter wants to be fair to Mr.. Reese and
not attribute to him something which
might be unfair.
Neither as man nor as a candidate
can the democratic nominee afford to
evade the question. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the Courier to embarrass Mr..
Reese but in view of the fact that he
was nominated on platform which
declared for the Kansas City expires,
sion and the state convention of his
party repudiated it. there is room for
doub. as to the exact position of the
democratic congressional standard
bearer.
The Courier has expressed this SEN
timent every day for nearly a week
and has failed to elicit the information
which Mr.. Reese's constituents desire.
To say it is not an issue is to direct
ly slap those democrats who emphat-
ically say it is.
If Mr. Reese has one foot in the
camp of the gold men and the other
in the tents Of the silver element he
can readily make 1t known by saying
the money question is not an issue
this year.
And it is up to Mr.. Reese.

MR.. REEsE,s MISTAKE.

No person acquainted with John p.
Reese, the democratic nominee for
congress, questions his sincerity. Mr..
Reese is simply mistaken in his esti
mate of himself born of inexperience
for which he Is not to blame. He has
said fatty he believes he can do more
for the miner in congress than Major
Lacey, the present incumbent, can.
This statement was undoubtedly
made when the first flush of victory
In the Oskaloosa convention was on
and would not have been made had
Mr.. Reese had time for reflection.
The facts do not bear out Mr.
Reese's assertion.

management of the mines in the

MEASURE Of PROSPERITY.

There is no measure by which the
prosperity of country can be judged
with so great accuracy as by the num-
her of business failures which occur.
This being the case the business and
commercial interests of the United
States must certainly be i'll a most
heaithful condition During the month
of July Bradstreet reports IT'S failures
in the United States. This number is
l3 per cent more than occurred during
the month of June. 1t is also s per
cent less than the number reported for
July, 1901. 1t shows that the number
of failures for July has but once dur
ing the past ten years, reached as low
a number as it did during the past
July.
1t cannot be doubted that the bust
ness methods and the wise and judi.
clous administrations of Presidents
Mckinley and Roosevelt since 1897
have been most potent influences in
UIfiSiuS duOuG lucS0 IS6ullS. SOuu'
dence has been restored to the bust
ness and industrial movements of the
country. Money has been free
and largely used in consum.
nation of plans for the ex.
tension of the commercial interests OF
the United States. Such considera.
tons cannot be ignored by the people
if they would preserve prosperity
Confidence can best be placed i'll the
administration that can give such
practical results.
This should be remembered by ev
cry voter when he goes to the poles tc
cast his ballot at the coming fall cleo
ton. The republican party can be
! safely entrusted with the continued
management of the affairs OF this ma
| ton.

me that in dealing with this problem
of the trusts (perhaps it would be
more correct to. call it a group of
problems) we have to class all our fell
low citizens. One is composed OF
those men who refuse to admit that
there is any action necessary at ALL

REPUBLICAN DUTY.

The indications are that full dele
cation of republican congressman will
be returned to Washington few
weeks hence The policy of the party
has been such that it has given gener-
al satisfaction. Its acts have been on
part with its theories and this has
engendered confidence in cumulative
way. It will lead the busy man to
reason that the country is safe even
if he does not go to the polls. This
has been one of the greatest sources
of annoyance to party organization in
the nation, county and state but this
year it should be. greatly minimized.
There is too much at stake for a. sin
gle voter to stay at home. Effective
legislation would be INSTRUCTED were
democracy to obtain control of the
house. A continuation of prosperity
demands action. 1t is the duty of the
individual voter to act as if the cleo.
tion was in the profoundest doubt and
for the county, congressional and state
committees to bring out every republi-
can vote
The situation is rosy and in view of
this it will be hard to impress upon
the individual that he must come to
the polls, especially in view Of the dis
sension in democratic ranks.

stigation of the politicians and not at

stigation of the politicians and not at
the behest Of the rank and file.
This is in support Of the contention
that reorganization in Iowa did not re-
organize. 1t shows there are insur-
gents within the ranks who will not
bow down to the rule of the alleged
majority and that the free silver senti-
ment in Iowa among democrats is a
very live issue. If it had leader just
now it's activity would be surprising.
Taking tht ground that the action
of the recent democratic state conven-
ton does not represent a majority of
the voters, the Dubuque Telegraph
Herald says:
1t remained for lot of office seek
ers, for the men who deserted the par
ty in it's hour of need, and for other
men, sincere but too credulous and too
willing to grant concessions on a
doubtful proposition, held out as bate
for votes, to announce to this great ma
ton, to the national democratic party,

and Independent of it. It remained
for them to declare the money ques-
ton dead" for certain of their num-
Der to abuse the greatest champion of
the rights of the people in modern
times William Jennings Bryan,-with
epithets and maledictions. 1t remain
ed for these to even Guido that man
who has basely betrayed the party In
Illinois, John P. Hopkins.-who di-
rected that the party in that state
should endorse past party platforms. y
This is harsh language coming from
a democratic newspaper which has the
standing among the free silver element
that the Dubuque Telegraph. Herald
has.
But above and beyond this is the de-
termination of that newspaper to not
give up the fight. 1t declares that its
kind of democracy is the only genuine
sort, lives only for principle and to la
Dor for it and will not rest content I'M
til that principle is unalterably fixed
where it belongs.
This is but an indication of the un
rest and dissatisfaction among demo.
Gratis who believe in the principles OF
the Kansas sity platform all over the
state.
Mark the prediction: They will yet
assert themselves and form an indie
pendent organization.

MR.. REESE AGAIN.

At present the voters in the Sixth
congressional do not know where to
place Mr. Reese, the democratic nomi-
nee. He should come out unequivoc-
ally and say where he stands since his
party formulated it's principles in state
convention and have let his constitu-
ents know it. 1t is the manly thing to
do and he can do no less without any
attempt at evasion or plead that he did
not make the platform. His party did.
He must make a choice.
This is about the situation:
The congressional convention at Os-
kaloosa which nominated Mr.. Reese,
declared for the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform 1t did not re-
pudiate the accepted doctrine of the
party since 1896, but stood shoulder to
shoulder with it.
This week at Des Moines the dem
ocracy repudiated the whole of the
Kansas City platform. 1t had the dem
ocratic nominees, actual and prospec-
tive, of what it hoped would become
the congressional delegation in this
state in mind when it did it.
Beyond this is another considera-
ton: The chairman of the democratic
congressional committee has said
specifically that the only democracy
we know anything about is that con-
tanned in the Kansas City platform"
Mr.. Reese's party has contracted for
him entangling alliances. 1t makes
him carry water on both shoulders and
in his hands. We submit that Mr..
Reese is not to blame. Neither are his
constituents. He did. not shape the
destinies Of the PARTY. Neither did the
men whom he asks to vote for him.
But they do demand that he elect to
stand with his feet firmly planted
either upon the Oskaloosa platform or
the Des Moines code of principles.
This demand is fair. Before men
vote for candidate they want to
know whether he represents their prin-
ciples or some, other idea. Party
fealty receives severe wrench when
the voter is asked to support candi-
date with two platforms, each diamet-
rically opposed to the other.
1t is self evident that Mr.. Reese can
not claim as his ideas on the silver
question those contained in the state
platform and be silver democrat.
Neither can he stand on the Oskaloosa
declaration and be. the kind of dem
ocrat the state platform. says he ought
to be.
These are facts.
Where is Mr.. Reese?
