 But" you ask, what are those strange looking vines crawling up the sides of say: "Why, they are the vines of the wild grapes See how fine they are! I must take some home to the children "Ah," I say lis that so? Is that tree covered with the grapevines? Then when you are eating the wild grapes you are eating the lifeblood of the tree" If you will care fully examine the stems of the wild grapevine, you will find them filled with a lot of rootlike suckers. These suckers fasten themselves into the tree and draw the life out of the tree, and, give them time, like all vampire ivies, they will grow bigger and bigger. Then the suckers will sink deeper and deeper into the tree until after awhile that mighty tree will droop and die.

gard it as an inconceivable folly on our part to have put our hand into such Q hornets nest. They should remember, however that the Morocco problem has been with us ever since our conquest of Algeria made us the neighbors of that turbulent community along a frontier of 1.200 tkilometers, and forced upon France the double obligation of watching over the peace of Morocco, and of seeing that 1t did not become the prey of any third party. Sixty years experience has taught us the close similarity between these ad- joining populations and their mutual in terdependence. When Morocco is disturb ed, Algeria is restless, and the chronic anarchy in which the Sherifian empire has been plunged for many years, es- pecially since the accession of the new Sultan, constitutes a daily danger to our colony, which, be it remembered, contains about 360,Ooo Frenchmen to 100000 na- tives, who are of the same race and

and drunkard wanted the same man elect as he (Pearson) was going to vote for. Then MT. Pearson stopped and solilo- quized: 'Do 1 desire the same men to govern this city that those corrupt men want? Am l going to travel with the same crowd they run with? No; am responsible to God and my country for the actions of the men whom I help to elect to office. You had better either purify your party and kick these disso- lute members of society out or else help start a new party which these men will condemn. What they want you don't And what you should want these men do not want" There is the whole question of political life in a nutshell.
 Now, I care not how brilliant Saul may be when he Is king. I care not to which political party he belongs, but this is what you should want to know: Whom is Saul serving? What kind of men wish him to be elected to the throne? Is this Satl who is seeking office today prepared to fight the saloon? DDes the Saul promise to obliterate the gambling hells of the city? Does he promise to close up the dens of infamy? Does he want the Bible in the public schools? Is he the friend or the foe of the dissolute mem bers of the community? With whom is he training? Do you elect Saul to position of political life and keep him there merely because he is brilliant of tongue and overlook the fact that he is rotten in morals? That is the question Samuel had to answer. And that is the reason God is hurlng the rebuke of my text at the prophet of old, as well as at some of today: How long wilt thou mourn for Saul? How long? How long?"
 His Political Protege.
 But there was still another reason why Samuel clung to this recreant king. Saul was Samuels political protege. Samuel was the instrument in Gods hands chosen to make him king. Samuel lifted the anointing horn to pour the sacred oil upon SauTs head, and in one sense Samuel looked upon him as loving parent some- times looks upon the erring deeds of a favorite child. He tried to shield him and protect him and to ward off his com- ing doom. And when Samuel did this he was like Eli. He only hastened the com ing tragedy of this handsome king. Oh, 1t is an awful thing to see a father and mother shutting their eyes to the sins of the child! I almost tremble when speak upon this. Yet I am firmly con- vinced that many young men and women have gone to destruction in the past not because their parents have been too strict, but too lenient with the self-evident short- comings of their children.
 There is only one way to deal with the sins of children, and that is to eradicate them while they are young. And the more insignificant those sins seem to be if let alone the more surely they will de- stroy the temporal and spiritual life of the child. Do you see that magnificent oak tree growing there on the hillside

These are little things in a

to church. These are little things in cnild's life. But. though the wild grapes are appetizing, remember these little sins are the vampires sucking away the chids spiritual life. That fruit is made out of the lifeblood of the child's spiritual ex- istence. Beware, parent, how you, like Samuel, allow the sins of Saul to develop unrebuked
 No One Like Saul.
 But, lastly, I think Samuel grieved for Saul because he said If Saul fails, who can make a success? Why, in all Israel there is not another like him. He is the handsomest and the best. What shall we do? What shall we do?' But God said: Fear not, Samuel, I will raise up au- other. Take thy amounting horn and SO where I tell thee. David will do for me what Saul has failed to do." So when we find great man go astray we say: "Oh, what shall we do? What shall we do?" But God will bring us another. Fear not Fear not Only follow God and He will bring the right man to thee. If God anoints a man, then 1t is Gods work, and we have only to do His will.
 And is it not a blessed thought that no one is essential to the Lords work? God is always able to send some one to take the vacant place. Oh, how often We think we are necessary to the church or society. We say, What will the home do without us?" or What will the church do without us?" or What will our busi- ness do without us?' Never fear, friend. When the time of our going Is at hand, God will always have another to take our place. Therefore, does it not. behoove us to do our work so well that when the time of our departure is at hand our sue cessors. will find the foundations we'll lai for b1,i16ipg f'ba slIpprsfrurtllre7 God can send another minister to follow us In the pulpit. He will send another teacher to follow us in the Sunday school. He will send another person to bless our loved ones in the home. May we today be like David, when he surrendered his throne to Solomon, rather than like sinful Saul, who had to be pushed aside by the divine hand to make room for David. Use. us, God! Use us as thou didst thy sweet singer of Israel! Use us, Master, and use us now!

The Bands of Authority.

nc Bands Of Authority.
 But there was another reason why Sam uel elung to the royal apostate Saul was king. He had been anointed by the order of the Lord God Almighty. He had been selected from all the tribes to rule over Israel There was certain sancity about him. Of course he had proved false to his trust, but still Saul was king. As king the people had been taught to do him reverence. The hardest bands to break are the bands of regal authority We are ready to send the common thief to tho penitentiary but we hate to impeach the honesty of those who have been placed over us in properly constituted authority. And yet when the king does wrong, should he not suffer? When the President of the United States or legislator or governor or a mayor does wrong, should he not also suffer? And when wickedness and corruption fasten themselves upon our political life should we not by the grace of God cast off those sins and also cast off those politicians who are responsible for the moral obliquity?
 I had this truth most wonderfully DOT trayed before me some time ago when heard Samuel P. Pearson addressing a great popular meeting in Chicago. MT. Pearson had been elected few months before sheriff of Portland, Me. Although Maine was dry state, there were many "speak easies' being run on the sly. The people of Maines capital said those places could not be shut up. but MT. Pearson said: Elect me your sheriff and in six weeks there will not be a speak easy in all the county" The people took him at his word. He shut up those speak easies so quickly that the saloonkeepers did not have time to ship their beer and whisky out of town, but had to empty the barrels in the gutter and let their pols- onous liquors run away into the sewers, where they belonged. Well, of course, Pearson's name was heralded from the Atlantic to the Pacific and praised by all good people. He was invited to address a ministers mass meeting in Chicago, and there he told us how he became a prohi- bitionist, and why he was so bitter against the other two political parties.
 Sheriff Pearson's Story.
 This was his story, as l remember 1t. When Pearson was a young man, there was an election going on in Portland He stood in line waiting to cast his vote for a certain candidate. Ahead of him he saw a disreputable saloon keeper. He accosted him and said: Hello. So-and- So, For whom are you going to voter Strange to say, MT. Pearson found out that this disreputable saloon keeper was eoing to vote for the same candidate that he CPearson) was supporting. Behind him he saw notorious libertine, gambler and drunkard. Mir. Pearson asked him whom he was going Nto vote for, and, strange to say. he fouhd out that this libertine

SMALL BANKS TO MEET
RULE OF CLEARING HOUSE
All Except Four or Five Have Made
Provision for Increased Capt.
tai Stock-Favor ln-
spccton

Further investigation among the so
called "small' banks of Los Angeles
and environs seems to demonstrate
that the expected resistance to the
clearing house rule requiring 100000
capital will not be formidable. 1t is
stated that only five or siv of the
small banks will be affected by the
rule by the time it becomes effective
September 8.
The other banks now having less
than 100000 capital have made, or
will make, provision for an increase
Most of them, while regarding the ae-
ton of the clearing house as a little
arbitrary, say it will work out all
right and in the long run prove
benefit. Those banks which are de-
prived of clearing house facilities by
reason of deficient capital will OF
course suffer much inconvenience, but
not enough, it Is said, to seriously en-
barrass them.
So far as could be learned yesterday
there is no effort making for another
clearing house. The purpose of many
duces the number that would find a
new clearing house necessary that the
scheme is regarded as impracticable.
All the banks approve the inspection
system provided for by the clearing
house. They say that a system of in
spection such as is proposed, when adj
ministered by disinterested compe-
tent person, is sure to benef1t every
one and is a most desirable addition to
the discipline of the organization.

BOARD WITHH0LDS PAY
FROM MILK INSPECTOR
Hotchkiss Spent Two Weeks Trying
to "Cinch" His Pay and Chief
Inspector Gave Him No
Credit

Milk Inspector e. w. Hotchkiss will
not get any pay for the two weeks time
he spent in trying to make his job
secure.
The board of health yesterday
adopted the report of Chief Milk In
spector George Hood, who made out the
time slip for a month, dividing it Jointly
between Inspectors Hotchkiss and Nc
Clean.
Hotchkiss, is is claimed, failed to re-
port on the appointed day, but spent
his time appearing before the civil SER
vice and health boards, and McClean
was put on his district, which is in the
Downey neighborhood.
Chief Hood reported yesterday that
some time ago the board had decided
to drop Hotchkiss, Cherry and Ford, all
inspectors, as the finance committee of
the council had ordered retrenchment.
There was some uncertainty as to the
legal standing of Hotchkiss, hence ne
was not laid off Immediately. How
ever, he did not present himself for
assignment to work.
I'VE have no money to pay for the
men we have, let alone for those who
do not work." remarked Commissioner
Newell as he moved that the time roll
be approved.

DENVER READY FOR
GREAT CONVENTION
Hotels and Auditorium Prepared for
Vast Army of Democrats That
VIII Meet There In
july

"The people in Colorado are worked
up over the coming of the Democratic
national convention to that city July
T." said a travelling man yesterday.
'"I was out there short time ago on
a business trip and the citizens OF
Colorado, regardless of party, are join
ing hands to make the welcome
warm one to all who come. Denver
people have an idea that their city
is a great convention center. The
Grand Army has met there, as have
the Elks, the Eagles and the knights
Templar. All these bodies found the
city handsomely decorated when they
arrived there and perfect arrange
ments for their accommodation.
1t has been a rule in Denver for
years that anyone overcharging a
guest at one of these great national
conventions was practically ostraclsed
from the city's business world. The
hotels and restaurants all charge the
same price, no matter how large the
crowd. The Elks and Eagles and
Grand Army and Knights Templar and
all have given such good reports or
Denver that the number of conven-
tions held there every year is steadily
growing larger. Last year there were
about thirty conventions held there.

Democratic convention was contract
that few cities would have undertaken
with such vim as the residents of
Denver did. The people there, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike, put up
a purse of 100000 and sent a commit
tee east with it to get either the Re-
publican or Democratic convention.
The Republican convention went to
Chicago, but the efforts of the Denver
committee were redoubled and the
Democrats finally decided to go to the
Queen City of the Plains. This was
the largest sum ever expended to get
a national convention, although the
citizens of Denver spent $4,000 In en-
tertaining the Elks when their national
body met in Denver.
'There is probably more ready money
in Colorado at the present time than
i'm any state in the Union. The readi-
ness with which the citizens put up
500, 900 for the convention illustrates
the financial conditions there.
"They are building an immense fire-
proof auditorium which costs 5000. 900.
This building covers nearly block of
ground and is built of stone. brick
