DISGUISE FOR THE TWINS

Omaha has pretty twins who are a
great puzzle to all with whom they
come in contact in connection with the
business of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, by which both are en-
ployed. Miss Gertrude Lynch has for
some time been in charge of the West
ern Union office in the Bee building.
Miss Agnes Lynch is often sent up to
relieve her sister. When Gertrude
goes and Agnes comes no one can tell
the difference. Agnes smiles and says
nothing when they address her as
Gertrude. I'VE are so used to being
taken for each other that 1 do not mind
1t any more" she said. I'm fact, we
are something like the twins that Mark
Twain used to tell about that looked
so much alike that they could not tell
themselves apart. When we were lit
tie, mother used to distinguish us by
tying pink ribbon on Sister Gertrude
and blue ribbon around my waist. One
day she forgot when she was bathing
us and took off both ribbons at the
same time, and mixed us up so badly
that even she herself couldn't tell us
apart. She puzzled over it for long
time, and finally shut her eyes and
grabbed UP the first one she touched
and tied the pink ribbon on. So, you
see, 1 really do not know whether l
am Agnes or Gertrude

sHALL cALIFoRNIA BE FRHE Z

Every Democrat and every patriotic
Republican in Southern California re-
joices with exceeding great joy over
the splend.l opening Of the campaign
In this city. and over the strong. em-
phatic and explicit speeches made by
the Democratic orators on Saturday
night.
The issue is now before the people
for consideration and final decision, and
in thinking It over, as ex-Msyor Phelan
wisely says I'VE should forget party
lines; we should forget that we are
Democi Is or Republicans, and simply
know that Il is a question whether the
Southern Pacific machine or the people
shall rule this state?"
Are you on the side of the people,
or on the side of the railroad bosses 2
That's the issue. Answer it as suits
your own conscience and your own
interest in the welfare of California.
Theo. A. Bell heads the state Demo-
cratic ticket as the nominee of the
people for governor, by unanimous
action at Sacramento. He wears no
corporation collar, but stands pledged
instead to force the Southern Pacific
railroad and Hearst out of the politics
of this state, to the end that California
may be free and it's citizens regain the
powers of their own government.
This is the only question now before
the citizens of this state. No national
issues are involved. The tariff, cur
rency, coinage or other Federal gov
ernment matter is utterly foreign to
the subject in hand.
It's as plaii as a pikestaff. He who
runs may read, and the people may
understand that national politics or
policies will cut no figure in this con-
test.
It's for you to say whether you will
sustain Herrin and Hearst, the South
ern Pacific Railroad company and the
yellow anarchist, by voting for Gillett
and Langdon and the machine-made
ticket, or whether you will overthrow
those corrupt autocratic powers by vot-
ing for Theo. Bell and the free-born,
anti-corporation Democratic ticket.
There must be change from the
domination of California by railroad
bosses. Believing that the people are
ready to rise together, independent of
political lines, to effect such a change,
the Democrats have reorganized their
party, put their best men to the front,
adopted decisive platform and named
ticket that speaks for itself against
boss rule and in favor of popular gov
ernment.
| Thus all the circumstances and con-
'ditions are propitious for a complete
overturning of the corporation control
and the destruction of the machine.
1t remains only for every citizen to
declare himself whether he favors the
corporations and their rule or the rule
of the people themselves.
The answer to that question will
determine the next election. Shall
California be free or continue to be
hoss-ridden and robbed?
Answer that question-each man for
himself

SOUVENIR POST CARD CRAZE BECOMES APLAeUE
POstOHoes Delay th
Mails the Clerks
he New York;

currences of this kind had caused much
extra work.
An official of the railway mail SER
vice said that regular letters averaged
about forty-iive or fifty to the pound,
while the post cards veraged about 16O
to the pound. Hence the postage on a
pound Of the former would be 30 cents
or 81, and that on a pound of the SOU
venlr cards, placing 1t at 1 cent apiece
with no writing on the face sides),
would be $t.60. AS the average cost of
carrying one pound Of mall Of any kind,
including that of all postal operations,
the entire expense OF collecting,
handling, delivery, etc.--was II or is
cents It was easy to see how great a
profit there was TO the government in
the extensive Use of private post cards.
There was no doubt, he remarked, that
their use i'm Europe had been fostered
by the postal authorities for this rea-
son. As an instance Of their vogue
here, he said that at a very small and
isolated village on Long Island, where
his family had passed the summer,
there were post cards OH sale with a
number of local views, which were
bought by visitors by the half dozen at
a time Postmasters at small summer
resorts, where there were fewer visit
ors this year than usual, had told him
that the stamp cancellations were
heavier, because of the souvenir cards.
Post Gard Manufacture
An officer of a news company in this
city, which does a great business in
these cards, said that the pioneers in
it were the Japanese, who began to
make them twenty or twenty-five years
ago. Japan still produces large guam
titles, both for home circulation and
for export, but Germany. which began
their manufacture about ten years ago,
is now the leading producer. For land
scapes and buildings the German cards
are the best, but the Japanese excel
In fancy designs of figures and flowers,
and Japan continues to make finer and
more expensive cards than any other
country in the world including num-
bers which are hand painted. Com
paratively few of the Japanese cards
are exported to the United States, the
demand for them being limited.
The news company official said that
his company alone had sent to Ger
many for color printing from 1000 to
5000 photographs of views in this coun-
try. There are many other concerns in
the same business in all parts of, the
United States, including from twenty
five to fifty in New York city alone.
Demand for their output has been
growing steadily and rapidly for the
last five or six years The same speak
er said that his own company had
sold from 25,000,000 to 3O,0OO,000 souvenir
post cards since January 1, 1906. and
was now from 100000 to 12,000,000
cards hehird on its orders

PuT On. ON IHR STRHETS

For less than the present cost Of op-
Grating sprinklins carts over the un-
paved streets Of this ity--considerably
iess-the roadways could be sprinkled
with oil This would lay the dust for
whole summer, make a better drive
way, prevent the dust clouds which
now disgrace them when the sprink-
ling dries up. and save the city money.
Doesn't II seem wise thing to do?
OF course. merely coating a dusty
road with oil does not make an "oiled''
road Of it; not by any means. To make
really good oiled road entails some
considerable expense and labor. The
ideal condition i'm Los Angeles would
be TO have all the downtown and hill
streets, as we'll as the main arteries out
into the residence regions, paved with
asphalt or brick where grades are
steep. and the less travelled streets
properly made with oil on disinte-
grated granite basis. And in time this
will come about. A long start was
made toward this last week.
But In the meantime there are miles
and miles of light-traveled roads from
which clouds of dust arise, which the
sprinkling carts make pitiful attempts
to subdue These streets are lined with
pretty homes and dainty lawns. The
dust settles down upon and penetrates
everywhere It ruins and destroys.
And of 1t the water carts make mud,
which is little better
A good coating of oil on every dusty
street would be disagreeable for day
or two, perhaps. Then it would inn
pregnate the soil, lay the dust. and do
away with this evil. When it's use was
past, another could be spread. Thus
the dust question would be solved; the
water carts would be eliminated and
the city would save money. Try it.

WOMAN

Man may fondly imagine himself tc
be the dynamo of the arc light, but
woman is the golden sunset over the
eternal hills.
All fundamental facts are feminine
Man can imagine no softer, loveliel
fabric than the velvet of a woman's
cheek.
He can imagine no warmer, rarei
color than the ruby of her lips.
He can imagine no jewel one-half as
radiant as the luster of her eye.
He can imagine nothing so gentle
and tender as the pressure of her hand
He can imagine nothing so mystical
so alluring, as the dimple in her chin
The sky has not the blue of her eye
The sea has not the depth of her
glance.
And the mountains do not compel
distance with that inscrutable glance
of attunement with the infinite.
She is the sum total.
She is the last word.
She is the final analysis.
She is absolute.
She is supreme.
