Stirring Response by Edward n. Hart
of Oakland

The silvery-tongued ora tor of the Ma
sonic fraternity, Edward Fl. Hart of
Oakland, i'm his response to the toast,
California" aroused spontaneous en-
thusiasm. Coming from the northern
end of the state he took occasion TO
chaff the real estate fraternity of Los
Angeles on soaring values and put his
points so well that each realty dealer
doubtless felt that he was 1T" The
sallies of wit provoked general merri-
ment. A great future was predicted
for Los Angeles because of the sturdy
character of its citizens and because OF
the rich and nexhaustlble resources Of
the state. Eloquent tributes We're paid
to the old states OF the union. In clos

TOAST, "GooD CITIZENSHIP
Says Best Type of American Man.
hood Is President Roosevelt

Senator Frank p. Flint was received
with prolonged applause and waving
of handkerchiefs Mr.. Flint said
Neglect of duty as citizens is one
of the perils of the nation.
We must give attention to civic
affairs.
"Why is it that the average business
of professional man of today cannot
find time to attend to the all-impor-
tant duties of citizenship? l. there
man anywhere who is largely in
terested in banking corporation who
would fail to attend a meeting of the
stockholders and see that proper Off
cials were elected to manage the af-
fairs of that corporation.
"It is not alone the poor man, or
the man of moderate means. even
though he may attempt to justify his
neglect of his political duty with the
statement that 1T is of no use, as the
corporations and the bosses will run
things to suit themselves who is al
together responsible for our present
political conditions. 1t is as well the
man of means who contends that he
is too busy with his private affairs
to take time to exercise his franchise
as a citizen.
1--WE have in our country today a
man whose example as a citizen it
would be well for all classes to imi-
tate, and especially those who have
had all the advantages of education
and training, and are financially we'll
to-do; one who although possessed of
sufficient private means to keep him
in comfort through life, and who has
no reason, other than his patriotism,
to trouble himself with the perplexing
political problems of the day. but who
refused to be a mere parasite on So
ciety. and who as police commits
sioner. an assistant secretary of the
navy, as soldier, as governor vice
president and president became the
ideal good citizen. the foremost Amer
lean of today! Theodore Roosevelt"

HUNDREDS GATHER
FOR ANNUAL FEAST
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BAN
QUIET GREAT SUCCESS
Prominent Men Of Los Angeles and
Southern California Pledge Loy-
atty to the Progressive
Organization

Patriotism. eoquence and good
cheer had full sway last night at
Turn Halle on the occasion of
the twelfth banquet of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce.

tive men of Los Angeles and of South
ern California-men of Golden state
grit and energy who have contributed
so largely to the growth of the sunny
southland, still banded together to con-
tlnue the work of extending the fame
and advancement Of the city and state.
And among the visiting guests were
prominent men from the northland and
from the neighborng states.
1t was truly a night of good cheer,
and the banquet goes into the history
Of the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce as one of the best and most en-
joyable affairs of a social character
ever given by the organization.
Patriotic Decorations
The interior of the large hall was
transformed into a conservatory of
plants and flowers. generously trimmed
with American flags, hatchets with red
handles, and the picture of George
Washington gracing the center of the
stage near the top.
The proscenum arch was hidden by
thousands of California lilies and the
stage was a veritable bower of tropical
plants, including Kentia Dracenia and
Phoenix palms, and banana trees, be-
hind which was screened the band
Across the stage was a colonial picket
fence for New England effect and over
hanging it was a profusion of mountain
ferns and smlax thus uniting the At
lantic and the Pacific coasts. Pendant
from the lofty ceiling were the mission
bells of the self-denying pioneer clergy
men. The bell in the center was six
feet in length, the four at the corners
five feet in length. each about four feet
in diameter. All of the windows were
6raped with the stars and stripes, the
walls laced with smilax dotted with
nyriads of poinsettas, and the whole
effect of the color scheme of red, green
and white was most pleasing and effect

Proprietor Struck Down and Work.
men, Failing Between the JoIsts,
Are Mirseulously Saved
From Death
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
MARYSVILLE, Cal, Feb. 22.-The
roof of the building which is being
reconstructed for a new theater col
lapsed today at If o'clock on account OF
defective truss supporting it from
above. A number of workmen and 9th
ers we're in the building at the time.
A. Merry proprietor of the theater
was killed; Guy Putnam, carpenter,
had his hip bone broken, head and
body lacerated, and Charles Bagge was
injured about the head. arms and legs.
No floor had been laid in the build
ing and to this fact Is due the escape
of several other workmen, who fell be-
tween the joists and were protected
until liberated by the fremen and po-
lice.
Merry was standing in the center of
the building talking to Ed Fox when
the crash came. The joists of the
roof crushed his head and body to
pulp. Fox was standing directly under
the slkylight and escaped injury.
Merry resided in Sacramento. He
came here a week ago and leased the
Brock building at Second and High
streets for theater purposes. He
brought a large number of artisans
from San Francisco and was hurrying
the remodeling of the building for
vaudeville shows He was well known
in many cities.

YOUNG WOMEN AND HOMES.

Are the young women Of the present
day becoming more and more es-
tranged to their homes and relatives?
What is 1t that takes young girls from
the home nest and gives them that de-
sire to be their own support ana man
ager? There are many, many cases
told each day by sad parents, which
bring TO light this discussion. Their
daughters have lcft home, each for n
different purpose, and all entirely
against the wishes Of the parents. A.
heart-renderng story came to light a
few days ago bearing on the disappear
ance Of an only daughter who had
been reared in luxury and had Just
been graduated from one Of the best
known colleges in the country. Her
parents were rather elderly and their
sufferngs were heartrendering She
had been quite an artist In college and
the desire to become famous in that
art overmled all cOnventlonalities, and
one day her trunks and herself had
disappeared. Her home was In the
West and she had evidently started for
New York. Her mother, beautiful
woman Of great dignity, received
letter n few days after her disappear
ance telling that home life was not for
her, That she is destined to be n great
artist and with present surroundings
"a studio lifeD it was probable and very
possible to obtain her goal. II also
told them not to worry, that she was
getting on "swimmingly," and making
her own living was quite a pleasure.
Perhaps the saddest part of all was
the absence Of her address. Since the
receipt Of the first letter no others
have been received, and 1t is indeed
a sad home with father and mother
waiting anXiously for just a word from
their daughter,
This is only one Of many cases,
Home nowadays TO majority Of girls
is the last place in her thoughts. The
comfort of n mothers love and atten-
tion are not greatly appreciated, and
rather than remain by the fireside they
prefer working for small sums of
money and merely existing and they
disdaln to accept money from their par
ents to help matters. The cause has
not yet been found why these cases
occur so often, and mothers and fathers
are at loss to know how to remedy
matters,-Newark Advertiser.
The new enterprise., 1905-05-11

A good vegetable garden is a real
luxury that even the poor may enjoy,
If willing to devote a little time and
energy to its culture. Vegetables and
fruits should be furnished freely to
the table all during the season, and a
supply Of winter varieties ready when
colp weather comes.
The size of the garden should be
regulated by the size Of the family
and their fondness for vegetables. 1t
should contain besides a full variety
OF vegetables, an asparagus bed and a
number Of the small fruits,
The garden spot should be rich,
sandy loan, well drained. The soil
should be thoroughly pulyerlzed and
mixed with some good manure. Most
people prefer well-rotted cow manure;
nut II fowl-house manure is used spar

the strength Of this manure, II used

MARRIAGE ron HAppINESs,

Professor FeliS Adler declared IN a
recent address. that happiness is not
the great end Of marriage, and that its
real end Is "the promotion OF the
worlds moral growth" writes Henry
+. Harris, In Madame. This will be
news TO thousands Of happily married
and contented people who have all
along believed that their mating was
for the promotion Of mutual joy, and
who are convinced that the pursuit Of
happiness is one of the principal aims
Of life: that 1t is an incentive TO the
greatest activity Of the mental and
physical forces. With Pope, they say:
80 happiness! our beings end and
aim"
The promotion Of moral growth is
best served and can only be brought
about when the handspring OF the
union is the perpetuaton Of happiness
"A bliss which makes for moral up
lifting, a willingness to endure sacrl-
fee, a desire to be helpful. A happy
marriage is the only marital union
which can IN any way promote or add
TO "thc worlds moral growth" One
Of the greatest delights which can
come Of a loving and loved wife Is the
knowledge that her husband is happy,
and his chief concern is the promotion
Of tEelr mutual felicity,
