Professor Baumgardt Lectures To-
night at Symphony Hall on POM
peii and HercuIaneum-Talk
Is Illustrated

The Baumgardt lectures have proven
to the people of Los Angeles that any
thing with merit will live and obtain
patronage. Several weeks ago Pro-
fessor Baumgardt delivered at Simp-
son auditorium his new lecture on
Pompeii and Herculaneum, the buried
cities, known in history and story as
the cities of the dead.
In this travelogue Prof. Baumgardt
has paid much attention to the recent
excavations in both cities, and their inn
portance from an archaeological stand
point. To secure the material for this
lecture many visits were made to the
national museum in Naples, the de-
pository of nearly all the important
finds in the two buried cities. The talk
is illustrated with over $50 beautifully
colored views. The lecture will be
given Sunday evening, May 10, at SYM
phony hall, Hill street entrance to the
Blanchard building, where the series
is now in progress.

The mere fact of trusting them edu-
Gates them so they become worthy OF 1t.
Distrust Causes calamitles
Distrust has in it the element of
egotism and suspicion. 1t brushes hope
and endeavor 1t binds the mortal In
letters. 1t corrodes, corrupts and de-
stroys until. finally, everything and
everybody Lecomes an enemy. IL
darkens the thought separates friends
and ruins business. The panicS in our
financial world are the result of dis
trust; first, in the individual, then In
the nation. 1t is the seed-thought for
church divisions. What do we desire
of these, our companions in bonds? Do
we expect them to be saints? If they
were perfected we would not be fit
company for them. Let us trust our
brother whom we have seen.
Many a father or mother has awak-
ened to the fact that distrust was max
ing a child black sheep. The base
element in human nature when 1t finds
itself suspected will never be true. We
cultivate the good until the evil has
nothing to- feed upon. When a child
sees he is trusted, it inspires him with
the thought that he is trustworthy, ana
this becomes an incentive for right
action. Trust your children and they
will manifest what you expect.
Hope in Science
1t is indeed a pitiful condition where
there is not perfect trust between hus-
band and wife. But there is hope In
Science. There have been numerous
cases where confidence has been re-
stored as they each came into the light
and saw the nothingness of error.
The fear of death is an undercurrent
in the human mind. and is often
greatest in the person who affirms he
has no fear. In Hebrews we read of
those who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage.
This fear manifests itself under all
kinds of DISCUSSES, from climate, lest
| that destroy Them to poverty, lest they
suffer for lack of supply. 1t hurries
them to the doctor. carries them to the
operating table and makes them wan
derers on the face of the earth. 1t di-
minishes as we learn to trust God and
| feel His presence. WHITTIER shall l go
from thy spirits or whittier shall
flee from try presence" Turning to
matter for help, increases fear: trusting
God, lessons it.
The simplest proof of Gods power in
healing sickness, plants us more firmly
on the rock Christ Jesus than years of
theoretical religion. Finally, we can
pass through the valley of the shadow
of death" and fear no evil
Our Leaders life is for an example of
trust in God, and we shall prove how
grateful we are to her, in what respect
We hold her teachings, by trusting and
loving each other.
Thus teaching, living, trusting, loving
God and our fellow man, truly it shall
be said of our nation, and finally of all

THORsON ON THE VICTORY.
South Dakota Republican National
Committeeman Talks.


Canton, Nov. 11-Thos. Thorson,
republican national committeeman in
speaking of the result of the election
in South Dakota, naturally feels high
y elated over the splendid majorities
accorded Taft and Vessey Before
election" said Mr.. Thorson," there
were all kinds of rumors and we
heard all kinds of talk about the
Scandinavians, the stalwarts and the
liquor people generally going against
Mr. Vsssey-and for the democratic
candidate for governor, MIR. Lee.
The result of the vote last Tuesday
happily dispels these predictions,
and in nearly every county we find
that the republicans practically show
ed a united front in behalf of the
straight republican ticket. Having
personally been rather sensitive to
the charge that the Scandinavians
would vote for Mr.. Lee-because of
his nationality am pleased beyond
expression to find in scanning the
vote of the precincts which are large
ly or entirely Norwegian, that they
have been loyal to the republican
candidates and voted at the election
even as they had voted at the June
primal ies-for the republican tick
ct"
MANY of the democratic candi-
dates seemed to rely upon defec-
ton among republicans and in this
they were beautifully fooled The
republican ranks to the dismay of
the opposition, closed in solid file
equal to any campaign in the his
tory of the state.
1T is a noticeable fact" contin-
ued MI. Thorson, that there were
mole straight ballots cast at this
election than is usually the case.
se vote given our candidate for
7oS@rncr and the overwhelming ma
jority that the republicans will have
in the legislature makes it incumbent
upon the incoming administration
to make good"-by carrying out
the pledges made in the republican
state platform. to avoid extrava-
gance in expenditures and extremes
in legislation-so that at the end
of Mr.. Vessey's administration there
will be no just cause for any loyal
| republican-no matter what his past
fractional Affiliations may have been,
to find fault or make any just crit
icism. We assume that it will be
the policy of the republicans to earn
estly strive to attain this object.
With the continuance of the Roose-
welt policies by Mr.. Taft there will
be natural tendency to pursue the
safe and sane course in the admin
istration of state affairs so that it
will appeal to the good will of all
the PEOPLE of the state"
