OYSTER BAY, \. Y, Sept. 9.-The

Father Yorke Declares Union
Men Better for Public Life
Than College Graduates
Eight thousand People Attend
Fifth Annual Picnic of st.
AnthOny's Parish

OAKLAND, Sept. 9.-Eight thousand
people attended the fifth annual picnic
Of st. Anthony's parish, held at Idora
park today The feature of the day
was an address by Rev. Peter C. Yorke
on Who Owns the Laboring Man, He
said in part:
Il am afraid that the title of this
talk Will excite the resentment of the
laboring man. When one asks who
owns them it seems to be taken for
granted that somebody does. The ques-
tion is the identity of the owner. The
free and independent union man will
hotly deny that he is owned by any
body While it may not be very flatter-
ing TO the laboring men, it can not be
denied that the tone of The public press
and political discussion is that they are
owned by somebody.
The unions are frankly considered a
class apart The union man is supposed
TO have relegated his thinking to his
leaders. In making an estimate of the
strength of candidates the laboring men
are considered a valuable asset simply
and solely on account of the blind votes
they may deliver to the democrats or
republicans other parties. l do not
deny that there is certain element
that votes blindly on their leaders ad-
vice. A similar element exists in any
other body of men. Speaking for Cali
fornia, I can say that union men vote
as freely as any other element in the
community.
UNION MEN CAPABLE
Il am convinced that the union men
are better prepared for the duties of
public life than the much vaunted col
lege men, who are put forward as the
salt of the political world. The labor
ing man is above and beyond all a
man. In him human nature with all its
qualities exists as wide and deep and
as high as the man pillowed in a cradle
of gold.
"All this magnifcation of politics we
hear about is like the scare heads in
the newspapers which chronicle the
running over of a poodle dog on the
street and the declaration of war with
japan.
The laboring man is owned by his
home his family and by God. AT his
home the true interests of the COM
monwealth lie. If he strives. for bet.
ter wages it is that he may secure
comfort for his family and for a better
start in life, as well as for provision
for his old age"
Booths of every description were on
every side, women of the parish being
in charge, and the visitors patronized
them literally. With the receipts from
these and the commission allowed the
parish on all amusementS in the park
nearly $4,000 will be netted from the
picnic.
A novel feature held in honor of
Father Yorke was ancient Irish dancing

NO ROOM FOR ROYsTERERs

THE tradition of Stanford is that
it drops off the edge of the campus all
who do it more harD than Stanford
can do it good. One harm that a stu
dent may do is to hurt the reputation
of his college. One of the worst ad-
vertisements of a college is a drunken
collegian.
You will not find many laws here
telling you what you must do. You
must write your own prohibitions. To
say no at the right time is the best
test of manliness. You must choose
for yourselves and you must choose
right. Just now, you must cut out
Menlo or cut out Stanford. There is
no middle ground. Do not ask how
far you may go and yet keep out of
reach of the faculty committees. Look
the other way or else go home. If you
can not make yourself immune to the
temptations of evil resorts, we can not
train you for success in life. Inter
collegiate athletics must be clean in
side and out, or else the colleges must
cut loose from them.
"The flower of life is red. Red is
the color of Stanford, the color of
strength. 1t is not pale blue and amaze
mia, nor yellow nor dark brown. These
are of color Whatever Is off color in
conviviality, in good fellowship, in ath-
letics, in journalism. in life anywhere
is not for us. 1t is not the Stanford
shade. 1t does not bear the Stanford
mark 1t is not at home on our cam
pus."

Get busy, boys. You can earn a good months wages as well as win ming prize that will be useful.

Drinking Habit

sometimes, yes, very often, brings misery and misfortune into what was once happy homes. And it's queer that when once "stung" they don't seem to care how things so on at home, so long as they can get the diabolical drink when they THINK they need it. Of course they only THINK they need it, but the reader of this ad must remember we are telling of intoxicating and under mining health drinks. Oh me, oh my, don't think we mean nice tast- ing tea, coffee, cocoa or buttermilk. No, sirree, when our drinks are used you feel fine, look strong and robust, feel cheerful, delighted to meet your friends in your happy home and a whole lot of other pleasurable ex- periences that spring up every hour in the day at home where nothing but our tea, coffee, cocoa and butter milk is the sole beverage. To be sure you never know what taste of pudding is until you try it, and it's the same with our nice tasting tea and coffee. You won't know how much better it is than what the other fellow sells until you try some. That's the time you'll be de- lighted and if you don't think so try it once. Send the little boy after some.
