II indications can be relied upon as
depicting the general sentiment Of the
democrats Of the county, a straight
ticket win be put in the field for the
coming June election. Many OF the
prominent democrats have declared
themselves emphatically during the
past few days, and they are marshall
Ing their forces for the convention on
the afternoon Of April .. They pur-
pose turning out in force and will
strive TO secure the adoption of re-
port from the committee on order Of
business that will settle what they re-
fer to as the harum-scarum citizen
movement for all time to come. This
scheme will meet with opposition from
those democrats who have nursed the
citizen baby but the stralght-out sem
timent is expressed by such prominent
men that their wishes in the matter
win doubtless be respected. The demoA
cratic convention gives promise Of be-
Ing the most interesting held in years.

Frank L. Parker, chairman of the
committee of ten, said yesterday that
the action OF the council on the COM
mittee's communication would so far
toward settling the question as to
whether or not the sea wall Is to be
built. The council may order that all
the streets be filled In, and II this Is
done property owners would be forced
to follow suit. The council Is known to
regard the project with favor and
there Is little question that IT will
cause a big 'yes" to be written across
the face Of the committees letter. Mr..
Parker also made the interesting an
nouncement that the committees re-
port would have the effect of putting
the matter up to the Seattle company
that sent its representative to this
city. The representative OF the com
rany, former Governor Semple, said
definite action would be justified by a
favorable expression from majority
of the property owners. The replies
of very large majority Of the prop
erty holders have been favorable, and
1t will soon be up to the company TO
make good its promises. A few days
ago sub-committees were appointed
for the purpose Of interviewing those
delinquent property owners who had
neglected to respond to the letter, The
average number assigned to each COM
mitteeman was six, and Mr.. Parker
expresses the hope that the sub-com-
mittees will finish their work in time
to permit 'of report to mass meet
ing to be called some time next week.
Thus far the owners Of about rs per
cent of the property in the district
have responded to the committees let
ter, and after the subcommittee re-
port only few nonresident property
holders win remain to be heard from.

Helen Nj. Cougar. Noted Americns
Writer, Describes William
Randolph Hearst.

In these days, when much is being
written about leaders in national life, q
woman's estimate of prominent indi-
viduals is always apropos. Helen NJ.
Cougar, who has met nearly all Of
Americas noted men and who has
written numerous interesting stories
and interviews, published the following
in the Lafayette Qnd) Call:
"Who is William Randolph Hearst?
II will answer as know the man.
"Mr. Hearst is forty one years old.
"He was born in San Francisco.
"He is the only child of the late
United States Senator George Hearst
and Phebe A. Hearst.
Ellis ancestors We're of North Caro-
lima and Virginia stock, his mother be-
ing a descendant of the Randolphs Of
Virginia. His mother is noted for her
great charities, having endowed the
University of California.
"He is a most devoted son and CO.
operates heartily with his mother in
business and benevolent enterprises.
LAC was SouSalSo al lAC
schools Of San Francisco and in Har-
ward college.
"He is a man of fine physique, robust
health, indomitable energy and great
executive ability. He is n business
man in every sense Of the word.
HE is exceedingly temperate in hab-
Its, never CANDLES or races horses, but
is devotee of the automobile. He
once owned yacht, but during the
Spanish-American war it was fitted up
as cruiser at his expense. aud he pre-
scented it to the government, then en-
listed himself as private in the war
and risked his life on the firing line
before Santiago.
"1n April, 1903, he married Miss MILL
cent Wilson of New York. There Is
charming romance connected with
this marriage. Miss Wilson was a
poor girl Mr.. Hearst met her and fell
desperately in love with the vivacious
miss. His affection was reciprocated.
He requested her parents to put her in

college and he would furnish the mon.
ey for her highest possible education.
After her graduation he took her
and her mother on tour Of the world
that she might have the culture of
travel. She is very beautiful wom-
an, with charming personality. She
is much beloved by the mother Of Mr..
Hearst
'.Mr. Hearst is strict moralist and
holds women in high esteem.
Ills charities are unbounded. Ev-
cry winter he furnishes free coal, food
and raiment to thousands Of the suf-
fering poor of the tenement districts
Of New York, which city is his pres
ent residence. He sent out three re-
lief trains-one from New York, an
other from Chicago and another from
San Francisco = and hurried supplies
to the Galveston sufferers. He gave
large sums for the relief Of the Jews
in Russia; also to the victims of the
| st. Pierre volcano district.
"As newspaper man he has had q
remarkable career. He understands
the business in every detail, from set,
ting type to editorial writing and
business management. His first ven
ture was the San Francisco Examiner,
which he took when 1t was almost de-
funct. He put life and enterprise into
1t until 1t has the largest circulate
OF any newspaper on the western coast.
He owns the Los Angeles Examiner,
Chicago Examiner, morning paper,
and the Hearst Chicago American, an
evening paper, the latter having the
largest circulation Of any Chicago
daily. In New York he owns and runs
the New York American, the Evening
Journal and Das Morgen Journal.
He Is devoted advocate Of the
/ principle of equal rights for. all; spe-
cal privileges for none He is an
aggressive foe of the new form Of hu.
man slavery known as trusts
"He prevented the waterworks of
New York from going into the hands
Of few monopolists known as the
Ramapo robbers. He smashed the ice
trust Of New York at an expense Of
$250,O0O to himself, and the babies of
the tenement districts call him blessed
He killed the food trust and is now
locked in deadly embrace with the coal
trust, at the head of which is Mr.. Baer,
who claims that the Almighty and he
are in partnership to rob, the fresides
Of America in the interest of this most
grnsping combination.
Doubtless If he is nominated for
president on the Democratic ticket he
would cause these combinations to
tremble in their boots.
"With such man for candidate on a
wise and conservative platform the
Democratic party will doubtless make
lively campaign that will put natal
in Republican ranks"

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear. {
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too. but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
lion is when you begin trying
TO hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
> take SCOTS Emulsion. If
isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
Treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
esslnt you VII win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Quired the man. II am seeking the

That is precisely what Representative
McDermott of New Jersey is doing in
offering an amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States limiting
the membership Of the house to 200
after March 4, 1911. Brother McDer-
mott is a very able man, an indefatiga.
bic worker, valuable legislator, but
to use an expression which learned
down in the hill country of Kentucky
In the possum hunting days Of my
youth, "He is barking up the wrong
tree" To begin with, 1t is almost Inn
possible to amend the constitution. No
amendment was adopted from 1904 I'm.
til the close of the civil war, when the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments were added. Nobody with
any considerable information believes
that the last three would ever have
received the sanction of two-thirds Of
each house Of congress and of three
fourths of the states If large num-
Der Of voters had not been disfran-
chised. Times out Of mind other
amendments have been proposed only
to fail in congress, never reaching the
state legislators at all. Nothing ex-
cept most extraordinary set Of cir
cumstances will cause it to be amend
ed in the future. But that is not all.
Only about one.fourth of the members
retire every two years on the average,
voluntarily or Involuntary, or, say, in
round numbers 100, whereas Mr.. Nc
Dermott's proposition would turn 1856
out to grass at one fell swoop. Does
anybody believe that he can force it
through the house? Not much. The
eighty,six extra ones to be thrown out
would be almost enough without help
to defeat it and surely they could find
eleven more to vote with them. His
amendment is already dead. "Said
Aaron to Moses, Let's cut of our
noses" but Moses, refused. So Will the
members.

Groule was q frequenter of restau-

prietor gave him credit, until one day
he found that Groule had run up stag

"I'll tell you what to do" said his
creditor. Insure your life in my favor
