THE DAILY DIME NOVELS.

It was mere matter OF fact to state
that a certain order of newspapers
have literally become daily dime novels.
They distort the great honest life of the
nation In a way TO give the impression
to a growing army OF comparatively lg-
norant readers that falseness and crime
are almost dominant in the life of the
American people. This Is a situation
wherein are wrapped great possibilities
for evil. 1t becomes all the more i'm
portant that decent men In Journalism

ness which are always present and
which VIII exalt a nation.

ages, and the substitution therefor of
state and national legislation utterly
abolishing them. The union or all
enemies of the liquor traffic in a
political party unequivocally COM
mitted to the enactment and enforce
ment of such legislation is the only
method of accomplishing the desired
result We insist upon the right of
the people to vote out the saloon by
counties.
2. Widespread graft and corrup-
ton of public life menace the stabil-
ity of our government. The license
system is the most insidious and pro-
life parent of all graft. The eleva-
ton of the Prohibition party to power
will put the government in an atti-
tude of hostility to every form of cor
ruptiOn, wrest it from the control of
private and selfish interest, corporate
greed and bossism, and bring the peo-
Pile again into the possession of their
own.
3. We recognize the danger to pop
ular government in the growing power
of corporate wealth, trusts and COM
bines. We favor legislation that will
curb the power of the railroads to
regulate railroad rates. The pubic
must either rigidly control or own the
means of transportation and COM
munication. We believe that the issu-
ance of passes to public officials is
bribery and should be prohibited by
law. We favor the removal of the
tariff upon goods manufactured by
trusts. We heartily commend Presi-
dent Roosevelt because of the brave
stand which he has taken in relation
to rate regulation and other reforms,
but we deplore his silence on the
liquor question.
4. We favor the initiative and
referendum. ~
5. We favor just laws in behalf of
the laboring classes.
6. The right of suffrage should be
conditioned upon intelligence rather
than upon sex.
Z. We renew and emphasize the
demand which the Prohibition party
has made since the beginning of it's
history for the election of United
States senators by popular vote.

WHEN SALOON BUSINESS PROS
PERS THE PEOPLE SUFFER,

For the business argument that
favors the prosperity of the brewery
and the distillery, that favors the pros
perity of the organized forces of the
liquor trade, is the argument that al
ways proves the poverty, the destruc-
ton and the desperation of the peo-
pie. 1t is the one business among
all other kinds of traffic whose pros
perity always indicates the poverty
and degradation of the people. When
any other business prospers in the
community, everybody is proud of it,
When we hear that the building trade
is prospecting, we say that is evidence
of prosperity and progress. When we
hear that the dry goods merchants are
growing rich, we say, "How prosper
GUS this community is becomingi"
When we hear of the farmer paying
off his debts and mortgages we say,
What splendid evidence of our coun-
try's prosperity" and everybody re-
joices. We even rejoice when we hear
that the plumber is making money
Gaughter), for we say "Of course that
is a legitimate trade, and we are glad
to hear of it" But when we hear that
the saloon trade is prospecting and
that the brewers in the city are get
ting rich, no one is prepared to claim
that that is any evidence of prosperity
and progress in that community On
the contrary, everybody says, "That
is surely an indication that people in
that community are going backward
and that they are inviting poverty
and want and degradation and ruin
for themselves" So it is particular
kind of business that never can be
classed with any other kind of bust

LOOK OUT!

hAany who would turn red in the
face and use language not found in
the Sunday-school lesson, if accused
OF being Prohibitionists, are saying
very severe things about the saloon
these days. If they don't look a leedle
oud they'll find themselves on the Pro-
hibition firing-line some fine morning.
It's very dangerous to monkey with
logic when one is thinking about the
saloon and the efforts which are be-
Ing made to keep it decent. One is
likely to land at a point for which he
didn't set out.

Carpenter Assaulted by Two Strangers

Efforts are being made by the police
to find two men, the assailants of w.
It Worth, a carpenter who recently ar
rived in Los Angeles from Bangor, Me-.
who was assaulted by two strangers in
East First street, near the viaduct,
early yesterday morning.
According to the story told by Worth,
he entered rooming house shortly be-
fore that time, but was unable ito
secure accommodations When he left
the place he saw two men coming to-
ward him, one of them appearing to be
under the influence of liquor. Worth
claims they assaulted him with knives,
but the sober man suddenly shouted to
his companion to hold up" The
drunken man then ran away, while his
companion famed Worth with hat.
Worth was taken to the receiving hos
pital, where he was found to have three
wounds in his neck. None of them are
serious. The police believe the two
men had been laying in wait for some
person against whom they had a
grudge and mistook Worth for him.

WANT BOULEVARD IN ARROYO
Club Women Undertake to Save Old
River Bed from Being Cut
Into Lots

Club women of Los Angeles declare
that the Arroyo Seco must be saved
There have been rumors for some
time that the Arroyo Seco is to be cut
up into town lots, and the club women
demand that this be stopped. For
interest the city officials in it's preser-
walton, but so far have been unsuc-
cessful.
Those living near the Arroyo Seco
say that the beautiful trees growing
through it are being cut down ruth
lessly and that handsome sycamores
whose trunks have seen years of
steady growth, and whose death Is a
loss to the city, are being destroyed
like so many shavings and with as lit
tie thought.
Some suggest, as practical, the turn
ing of the Arroyo Seco into boule-
vard which would thus make a con-
tinuous roadway between here and
Pasadena. 1t has also been planned
that, in conjunction with the coming
Arbor day celebration, a drive be taken
through the arroyo as a part of the
program, and thus have the people
loss to everybody if it is spoiled in
any way.
Very few people know anything
about this beauty spot which is so near
the town, and so care nothing about
| its perpetuation; but some OF the wom-
en- interested think that If in some way
| the place was brought before the pub
| lie, and picnics and entertainments
were arranged to take place there, il
would be more feasible than any other
thing, because then the people them
selves would raise up In wrath wher
some one attempted to destroy theiI
pleasure ground. ~
