State Register Is Out.

The state register for 1907 has been printed by the state secretary and copies are ready for distribution, one having been received at the Dem ocrat office to-day. It is volume of 606 pages and from cover to cover it is filled with important and interest ing data relating to the state. The data is reliable and shows the ex- treme care which the state secretary and his subordinates take in collect ing the facts and in compiling them. The register for 1907 makes it's ap- pearance about five or six weeks earlier than it's predecessor in 1906 appeared The changes in state of fees and in towns are brought down to date. Secretary Bodenwein and his staff of assistants are to be con- graduated on their customary sue cess in compiling volume of such great value to the state and so use full to citizens generally.

Laughter the Best Tonic.

Laughter is good. healthy, muscle making. lung-developing exercise, and it is as good for girls as boys. And humor can be cultivated in a girls mind without any abatement of the dignity and modesty and charm of her womanhood. Not the unpleasant and constant frivolity evidenced in smart" speech or quickness of rep artee. but the humor that looks at the world with a twinkle in the eye and sees its absurdities. its smallness and its fun. says a writer. It should be part of every woman's mental equipment, for women are called up on to bear so many of life's small worries as well as Its greater ones. The bringing up of children. the care of servants. and the many social du- ties that become a burden. are all made easy and possible to put up with by the woman with an unfailinz sense of humor and of the bright side of life.

w VdculuStOu, hpIi O.-SOutiuuiue s his argument to-day before the in terstate commerce commission in support of the legality of E. H. Har- riman's railroad operations, John c. Milburn laid down the following gen. eral propositions:
 1. A restraint of trade to be with in the antitrust act, must be the di- rect, immediate and necessary effect of the transaction, and not merely an indirect or incidental result.
 2. A restraint of trade consequent upon purchase of property, in any of its various forms, is incidental merely and therefore not within the act.
 3. The purchase must of course, be real, if mere device for the SUI pression of competition as 1t was held to be in the northern securities case, while 1t may be eeffctive to op- crate upon the legal title sa between the parties, 1t Is In fact unsubstantial and may be disregarded.
 f. Provided the purchase be real and substantial, the motive which in- duces it cannot affect the result for any resultant restraint of trade is still only consequential and incidental to the exercise of an absolute and un- doubted right, that is. the right to ac- quire property.
 5. Therefore, the purchase by a railroad company, within its cor porate powers of an interest in an- other line of railway, is not within the act, because the restraint upon trade, if any, Is not direct but mere ly incidental to the purchase.
 6. If, however, the purchase by a railroad company, within its corpor- ate powers, of a line of railway, made to suppress competition, be obnoxious to the act, that result does not follow if the purchase be made for a legitimate and proper purpose of the purchasing company.
 z. In any event, purchase by a railroad company of an interest in a line of railway which is not parallel and comepting, is not within the act.
 s. The purchase by the Union Pacific of its interest in the Southern Pacific was not made to suppress competition. but to protect its prop erty by an extension of its line in that way to the Pacific coast.
 g. The Union Pacific and South ern Pacific are not parallel or com peting lines or systems.
 This summary proved to be the outline of his entire speech. He con- tended that the purchase of the Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific was a legitimate business transac- tion He said that if the laws of the state by which the Union Pacific was chartered had prohibited such a purchase 1t could not have been le- gitigately made, but that in no event could the federal antitrust law be held applicable.

Seashore city's Funds II Is
Arrested on Bench
Warrant

Fearing to face the charge Of embezzle-
ment yesterday, N. e. Devore, former
superintendent of streets for the city or
Redondo, attempted suicide by taking two
ounces of laudanum, but the prompt as
sistance of two doctors, who worked on
him for several hours, brought him out
of what was a precarious condition.
Powerful emetics and repeated use OF
the stomach pump were necessary before
he was pronounced out of danger, and he
passed~a comfortable night.
Devore was arrested last night by
Deputies Woods and Henry on bench
warrant issued by Judge Smith.
Devore, who is charged with the em-
bezzlement of $500 of the citys funds, was
to have appeared for trial before Judge
Smith yesterday morning.
His bondsman, William Usrey, was in
court and said that he had seen him on
Los Angeles street shortly before the
time for opening of court, and the de-
fendants attorney, f. w. Allender, asked
that the case go over until later in the
day.
At 2 o'clock the court declared the bond
forfeited but a few minutes later the
bondsman rushed into court with the
statement that Devore had attempted
suicide and was in the custody of City
Marshal Maxey at Redondo.
The court Immediately issued a bench
warrant, and Devore will now have to

unioue Theater

The new bill at the Unique, consisting
of an unusually attractive olio and a
laughable skit by the reorganized Unique
stock company, drew two large audiences
last night. Hy Greenway took first
honors on the vaudeville list with a
comedy juggling act Cqnlon and Carter
furnished pleasant twenty minutes
amusement. Shale and Cole, dancers and
singers, also made hit. III. w. Brinkley,
late of the Ferris stock company and one
of the new additions to the Unique forces,
created a favorable impression by his
singing of the illustrated songs, and the
Unfque-o-scope operator showed a couple
of splendid films. If the excellence OF
first performances count for anything
the reorganized stock company bids fair
to establish higher standard under the
direction of Richard Cummings Dear
Alphonse,' the slsit presented last night
touched the right spot.
