ALLIANCE NEEDS
NO SPECIAL
ORGAN.

Editor The Call: Persistent rumors
have been running that the Citizens
Alliance intends starting a newspaper,
daily or otherwise, as it's organ in San
Francisco. To set such rumors at rest.
L wish to say that the Alliance has not
and never had such Intention. The
purpose of the Alliance is to enforce
the law in industrial matters against
all violators; to protect all labor In the
proper pursuit of it's vocation and the
peaceable use Of the streets and the
highways on it's way to and from its
toll; to protect every business man and
taxpayer in the exercise of his lawful
rights. and the profitable use Of his
property. and to enfranchise all labor.
non-union as we'll as union, and Hber-
ate every man from bondage to the ar
bitrary will of another and put him in
full enjoyment Of civil liberty.
The Alliance is well assured that
these purposes. so necessary to indus
trial prosperity, have the sympathy,
and when needed will have the support
Of the press Of this city, and ii needs
no organ OF it's own through which to
support a policy so necessary to the
good Of the whole community and so
entirely in line with true Americanism.
Like all organizations, as 1t has shown
its strength, as it has successfully in
voked the law in defense of the rights
Of person and property, as it has curb
ed lawlessness and made the city freer
than it has been for years, parasites
appear who try to get some personal
prestige or profit by soliciting advan-
tages In it's name. To them must the
origin of such rumors be attributed.
They merely demonstrate that the Al
lance is something that must be reck-
oned with, and the public will soon
learn to discriminate between its au-
thorized and it's pretended representa-
tives.
The Alliance is fulfilling It's mission.
1t Is among the permanent forces nee
essary to the Industrial equilibrium
upon which the peace and prosperity
OF all must depend. 1t is in no more
need Of a special organ than is the
principle of morality or the spirit OF
liberty. HERBERT GEORGE,
President

MISS FLORENCE
WAS, INDEED,
RIGHT,

The mention Of the common name Of
Smith causes one woman In Chicago
a thrill of horror in the memory OF
very embarrassing situation in which
her haste in jumping to a conclusion
placed her, says the Journal OF that
city.
She and her daughter were going
West for the summer. When they
reached the depot the rain was coming
down in torrents and she Immediately
retired to the Pullman. Just hVe min
utes before the time for the tram 10
leave her daughter remembered tele-
gram to be sent. Her father had just
gone to the platform and she hurried
after him.
A man with a satchel rushed past
| them into the next car. Her rather
stopped him with a demand TO knO"
where he was going.
san Francisco" was the reply.
I'm awfully glad you're going 10 De
on the train, old man.
I'm sorry I'm not My wife and
daughter are going. My daughter Mr..
Smith,
I Just then the train began TO move.
The girl went into one car. the man
to another. Two hours afterward ne
passed through the car where she and
her mother were trying to while away
the tedium Of an overland journey
The girl smiled and the man nodded.
Her mother saw the latter. She
turned sharply to her daughter.
Florence" she said, do you know
that MANI"
Why Florence did It she cannot ex-
plain. 1t was the only prospect OF fun
in the three days journey. "Well-not
exactly" she replied.
Did you bow to him?"
well. yes"
Florence, I am ashamed that
daughter of mine should descend to
, such cheapness. 1t grieves me- 1
never thought you would fiirt. You
must promise me never to do anything
of the kind again"
For an hour she discoursed upon her
Indignation at the thought. Florence
listened dutifuIIy and with apparent
penitence At Omaha she took care to
walk past the window where her
mother sat after she had managed to
meet Mr. Smith on the platform An
other lecture lasted as far as Denver.
The climax came when at Denver
Florence met Mr.. Smith at the door Of
the car and went out Of the station
with him. When she returned her
mother transfixed her with an angry
stare. You are never to speak to that
man again." she announced.
The man was standing within ear
shot.
But mother''-the girl began to think
she had carried the joke far enough
"he is a friend of fathers. Father in
troduced him to me at the depot. His
name is Smith
Il did not think that with your other
faults you would descend to falsehOod.
Smith He does not look like the kind
of man who would be a friend Of your
father. You cannot expect me to be-
lieve such a tale"
All through the West she kept Flor
ence under a surveillance that would
have done credit to a duenna- When
they returned last week her husband
telephoned that he would bring friend
to dinner.
With her most gracious manner she
| advanced to the library to meet-Mr.

GIRL Furnishes
MA SHER WITH
a NEWSPAPER

In the presence of a crowd Of passen-
gers new version of Beauty and the
Beast" was rehearsed on a Third Ave-
hue Elevated Railroad car in New York
the other morning.
On train was an exceedingly pretty
girl, tastefully dressed, and with a
wealth of naturally blonde hair. She
occupied a corner of one of the cross
seats and was absorbed in a news
paper. At One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street the Beast entered and took
seat immediately facing Beauty. He
was evidently of foreign origin.
From the moment he sat down he
never took his gray eyes from the face
Of the girl Although she kept her
eyes fixed on her newspaper 1t was
evident that Beauty keenly felt the in
suit.
At the Twenty third street station
Beauty. who had been nervously
squeezing her newspaper into a hard
club, suddenly arose with cheeks
af1ame and struck the Beast across the
face. Again and again did she strike
him, on the right cheek, then on the
left, while he covered and tried to
ward off the blows with his arms.
Then he, too, rose, crying out, 1.-THE
woman's crazy" For an instant he
seemed about to strike the Beauty, but
every man in the car was on his feet,
and the Beast thought better of it.
Dashing down the aisle he reached the
open gate, jumped to the station plat
form and sprinted down the stairs to
the street

at which her husband, then a strug-

his business partner, and bought for
her controlling interest in the steamer
Argand, of which for more than a year
she was sole master, plying the Ohio

winning the appreciation and the BUSH

WANT TO GET
RID OF COMIC
VALENTINES

Members of the Friday Club of
Hillsboro, Ohio, ask club women the
world over to assist the movement
they have inaugurated to suppress the
comic valentine in its present dis
graceful form, which poisons the pure
atmosphere of childhood and teaches
a false conception of humor. The
women of that town have already ap-
pealed to all shops dealing in valen-
tines and many proprietors have prom
iaed cooperation. It seems that most
OF the comic valentines are bought by
children, who distribute them among
themselves.
A club woman was recently inter-
viewed about the matter and she said
that the pictures were very disgrace
full and she could not see why they
are not forbidden circulation by the
Board of Education. She was certain
that st. Valentines day was not meant
to teach children to make fun of one
another and be spiteful.
Such valentines teach no one any
good and are of no possible use," said
this woman. II don't see why they
were ever put on sale. They ought, at
any rate, not to be sold to children. 1
have see youngsters buy them by the
dozen, inclose them in envelopes and
send them to their friends. 1t causes
a great deal of ill-feeling among the
sensitive children and will bear no
good fruits. The sooner that these
valentines are banished from the
stores the better. I hope that club
women will take some steps in regard
to the natter
