trust that it may. When a people

But already predictions are made

Prohibition means prohibition, or it
does not. IF the people merely want
restriction then license law is what
they ought to enact. 1t was said at

But there is against this to be put
another estimate. namely,the saving

the gain that will come by reason OF
the more continuous industry ON the

of drink waste all they earn. Make
this estimate and we undertake to
say that Auusta will be far ahead on

leave out of the account something
not to- be thus measured, the moral
gain. the relief from the heartache
and the thousand unnatural shocks
that flesh is heir to from this ac-
cursed habit. Purely on the dollar
and cent basis the whole community
will be far richer at the end of the
year with that prohibition law COM
piled with than it is now under its
present license system.

Whiskey-That's All.

All? Why, no; there's a great deal
more;
There's an arm that's weak and a
heart that's sore
There's a home that's filled with
grief and woe.
And a wife that's felled with savage
blow.
All2 Why, no; there's job that's
lost,
There's an empty purse thar can meet
no cost;
There's watch TO pawn and chair
TO sell;
There's money to borrow and thirst
to- quell;
There's an empty glass and fight or
A fine to pay and crime to rue
All? Why. no; There's demons
There's child abused wound to
nurse;
There's a home broken up, a wife
abused
To drudging toll. life's JOY erased;
There's a free lunch served in sam
pie room.
And some chores to do with a rag or
broom;
There's the price to beg for burn
ing drink,
And place to Sleep All, stop and
think.
All do you say? There is half un-
told;
Th~r's a heart grown sick and
limbs grown cold;
There's a son gone down and sub
sertute
THAT Is half fiend and half brute;
There's a place TO rob and man TO
kill;
There's prison cell for man to fill;
There's conscience scared with wild
remOrsc.
And a grave now digging for pau
per corpse;
There's a speedy trial, verdict read,
And wife that weeps as the doom IS
said;
A curse ard prayer as the gallows
fall,
And as for your whiskey why-that's

Ridiculous Texas Laws

OF all the ridiculous and totally un-
called for laws ever enacted by any
state legislature. those carried
through the last general assembly of
Texas are the supreme and extreme
limit They are absolutely foolish,
containing really no logic one way or
the other Among the laws now on
the statute books OF that states are
the following:

sheets nine feet long.

MATCH COMPANY AFT TER
GREAT TRACT OF TIMBER
Has Option on 10000 Acres
of Sierra Company's
Chico Land

Barring an unforeseen hitch, deal
involving the transfer of 10000 acres
of timber land from the Sierra Lumber
Company to the Diamond Match Com
pany will be consummated this week
President o. C. Barber of the match
concern and Directors Edwin A. Potter
and Granger Farwell have returned to
Chicago with an option on the tract
and they will place it before the COM
pany at once While here they negOti-
ated the deal through President Ed
ward Coleman of the Sierra Company.
The big acreage of timber practi-
cally surrounds the match -companys
extensive holdings near Chico. Timber
experts are now examining the prop
erty and the deal will depend upon
their report. The terms are said to be
most favorable for the purchaser, but
the figures have not been divulged.
The officials of the match company
believe that their timber holdings in
California have been enhanced in value
very largely by the Governments re-
cent reservation OF 100000 additional
acres of timber in forest reserves. The
company is having an era of prosperity,
it's earnings for the past year having
surpassed the s2,O00.0O0 profits of the
year before.

L|KENs OUR GRAFTERS
To CHR|ST's BETRAYER
DR.. RAIDER Says Judas Would
Be in Charge of Elisor
if Here Now
TRAITORS OF TODAY
Men Who Seek Office for
What There Is in 1t
Country's Curse

"Judas IscarfOt was the type of i'm
sincere, practical man who would
change everything into hard cash; and
II he lived I'm San Francisco today he
probably would occupy n room at the
st. Francis"
This pointed remark with its un-
mistakable reference to the local sit
uation and the man chiefly in the pub
lie eye was made by Rev. William
RAIDER in the course Of his sermon on
the subject of Graft and Fidelity
yesterday morning in the Colonial The
ater.
The clergyman took his topic from
the scene where Mary Magdalene broke
the box OF precious ointment upon the
head OF Christ and the criticism that
Judas Iscariot made because of her
wasteful extravaganza. DIR. RAIDER
made the point that these were the two
extreme types OF human character-one
was Judas, the CRATER, who, In the
name OF the people, criticised the SEN
timental expression of the woman; the
other the lavish love of the woman, a
sinner, who gave her all to Christ.
Dr. RAIDER then took up the general
subject of sentiment. discussing the
FIVE ruling passions. Disinterested love,
he said. was the rarest but the great
est thing in the world. Friendship or
1oNe without slrlhs 10 II was d
rarity, he said, but this woman had
shown a disinterested and spontaneous
affection In striking contract to the
hypocritical contention of Judas. who
believed that the perfume should have
been turned into money for the poor.
The clergyman said that, instead of
getting everything out of life, I'VE
should give our best to the world"
Success did not mean graft. but fidelity
to the highest and best, he declared
Dr. RAIDER said that If Judas Iscariot
had occupied political Office it would
have been for what he could get out of
il and that the country was being
cursed by this type of practical man."

SCION Of OLD MEXICAN
FAMILY DIES IN CITY
Islais Greek Is Said to Have
Received Name From
His Ancestors

Florencio Yslas, aged rs years, died
at his home at 1745 Clement street
Friday night. and In his passing fam
lily prominent in early California his
tory lost another member and a Cali
fornian-Spanish romance came to an
end.
A story vouched for by his daughter
is TO the effect that Islais Creek. a
center OF discussion at present was
named after the grandfather of the de-
ceased. the difference in the spelling
representing the English pronunciation
and spelling Of the Spanish name.
The deceased came to California as
a youth with his father, Don Francisco
Yslas, from Sonora, Mexico, In 1S49.
They travelled overland with a large
number of Don Francisco's retainers
and servants. Don Francisco amassed
a fortune in the mines, but changing
conditions carried the yellow store
away and he died poor. The son fell
in love with an actress whom he mar
ried and by whom he had two daugh-
ters. They are left to mourn him.
Florencio Yslas came from one OF
the most prominent Standardization
families. A cousin is the wife Of Qua
temalan Minister Lopez in Washington
and another cousin married a president
of one of the Central American re-
publics. Though he died possessed OF
but modest means Yslas represented
the type of rapidly disappearing Span
ish-Mexican residents which has given
much of romance to California history.
The godmother of his daughter Flora
is Mrs. F. Smith, great granddaugh-
ter of De Arrillaga, one of CALIFORNIA;
Spanish governors.
The funeral will be held from the
residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Interment will be in the 1. o. o. F..

of $50. Miss Simmons deserves great
deal of credit for the energetic way
in which she is trying to improve her
circumstances by winning some of The
Calls gold coin. She is making
house to house canvass in Berkeley
during her spare moments. and appre-
ciates greatly the kindness of most
people whom she asks for subscrip-
tion to The Call to enable her to win
some of the prize money. She is the
only present contestant of African de-
scent. Her father was native of the
West Indies, where he was employed
as a teacher prior to coming to Cali
fornia. He was a well educated man
and formerly was stenographer at
the Capitol at Sacramento; he was also
for some years clerk in San Fran
cisco bank Her mother was a native
of Sacramento and was a highly re-
spected woman. Both of Myra's parents
died when she was about IL years old,
and she has since made her own living
and is endeavoring to educate herself.
She has a good voice for singing and
her highest aspiration is to become a
trained vocalist She is highly recon-
mended as an intelligent and deserving
girl by those who know her.
OTHER LUCKY ONES
Miss Gladys Adcock has received an
other windfall in the shape of $500
votes. which has enabled her to move
up again to tenth place. Fritz Werner
of Livermore cashed in years sub
scription in her favor and is therefore
added to the sick refugee girls list of
benefactors, who are becoming quite
numerous.
Magda Steinkamp has received do
nation of 1900 votes from friends at
Grizzly Flats and moved up from No.
10 to No. 13. Miss Steinkamp is still
brayely trying to win a prize, though
she has a difficult field to work in. She
often drives many miles TO secure a
subscription and risks the danger of
fording torrential mountain streams.
Miss Ethel Potter of Newman, who
won $50 in the second period of the
contest and stands to win $50 in the
sweepstakes. being No. 8 in the ap-
proximate score, has resumed opera
tions and enters the score list for the
third series of prizes with total of
1900 votes.
Alex Burns, who was No. % with a
score of 1900, has Joined the also ram
but will try to get a footing again
among the speedy ones who are slated
as prizewinners.
