PERHAPS UNSUPPORTED?

NEARSHALL STIMSON was correct
I'VE when he said, 1.-The country at
A'A the present time is facing one
of the greatest crises in its history.
The attempt to break up the alliance
between the machine politics and cor
rupt business will be long and bitter.
The men who have been benefited
thereby are loath to give up their adj
vantage, no matter how dishonest or
how harmful to the body polite"
But we do not believe that Mr.. Slim
son was equally correct when he said:
"At the present time conditions are so
forming that the probability is that the
big, dishonest business man at the top
and the restless disconnected element
at the bottom will come together and
unite on the Democratic candidate.
Thus we will have the spectacle of
dishonest corrupt influence united in
a policy of action with the dishonest,
anarchistic element of the country"
We do not know and cannot guess
the premises from which Mr. Stimson
reaches these alarming conclusions
His suggestion that the Democratic
party will be composed merely of the
dishonest business man at the top and
the restless, disconnected element at
the bottom is not we'll taken by the
sane, studious, conserva-
tive Americans who have made up
their minds that the future prosperity,
nay the very safety of the country,
depends upon a return to system of
administration conducted in acacord-
ance with the first principles of
A disconnected man is
not necessarily an anarchist. He may
have excellent reason for his restless
ness and his discomfort. For instance,
it makes the father of a family rest
less and disconnected when he sees his
children's education imperiled or per-
haps stolen by circumstances that are
certainly referable to the conduct of
'the big dishonest business men," But
why he should join forces with the big
dishonest man in an attempt to punish
the big dishonest man--we give it up.
We are begged. There's nothing logical
about the proposition. 1t cannot be
discussed. We don't deny that big
dishonest men and little disconnected
men may get together, but we deny,
positively and Indignantly, the allega-
ton that the Democrats of this state
or of this nation will ally themselves
with rich thieves or poor anarchists,
Or even with merely and purposelessly
"discontented" men FOR ANY PUR-
POSE. The Democratic party is not
built that way Neither is William
Jennings Bryan.

My Uncle Jim's statesman bold
Though en- election day
He's always left out In the cold
They never vote his way,
So many men oblivion find
In office holding lifel
My Uncle Jim is not that kind;
He's always in the strife.
He's not a meteor rushing swift
To vanish In the air;
Whenever the country needs lift
My Uncle Jims right there.
He's not like those whom people Know
Awhile and then forgets.
He started running years ago
Ana he Is running yet.
The kind of man this country needs
Is he who braves the shock
And stands up for hts party creeds
Unyieldiug as the rock.
Though Uncle Jim has felt the smart
Full oft of fickle fate,
He's still a patriot from the heart,
And still a candidate.

Jim Jones was a oolorful painter man
Who ruled his life on the color plan.
A greeny in busInessane came to town
And the eaptafHk. of industry did him
''brown.'
Then Jim felt blue" and It wouldn't fade.
His 'ultramarine" was beautiful shade.
He frequently blushed and I've heard it said
BY those who knew: "rhat chaps well
read"
once jaundice attacked this artist fellow;
He promptly became "Chnese yellow"
The pink" of perfection social light
His friends all knew the man was white"
But why continue: The coiors he had,
Artistic instinct, too, by CAD.
So. well supplied, upon his palette
He mixed his moods and painted chalet.
The mountains were brown. Wall street
huej
The sky, of course. was n doleful blue;
His trees were an inexperienced green;
A jaundiced sun lit up the scene.
The chalet itself he panetd white,
While perfection pink gave a shaded light.
The critics approved-their praise was red:
Fame came to Jones but found Bjones
instead.

Let US be thankful every Monday
morning that in Los Angeles we are
free from sensational preaching. The
communities there are loud complaints
that some of the ministers still seem
to preach for effect, not for moral or
educative effect on their hearers, but
for the excitement and controversy
world is sensational and nerve rack
ing enough without sensational SER
mons. The old-fashioned discourses
are much to be preferred.

OF WORLDWIDE INTEREST
THE SEATTLE EXPOSITION
BY FREDERIC J. HAskIN

Yukon Pacific exposition means to
show the people of the world.
In the eyes OF the world the Pacific
northwest Is young--very very young
yet with the pardonable arrogance ana
unlimited ambition of youth that sec
ton has forged far ahead. Take the
"Oregon country" ITSELF for example.
Gold found around the Siskiyou In 1851
precipitated an exodus toward the
northwest that has had little parallel
in history. Thirty years ago there We're
lut ten huts In the country, lying 100
miles west of Spokane. Now there are
the comfortable homes of over 100000
people there. The Oregon river, navig-
able for 1000 miles, has had canal cut
around the cascades and dynamite is
making the Dalles passable. On the
trail of the "bunch grass hunters" and
their herds have come farmers and
homemakers who have turned the lands
largely to the uses of the agriculturist.
One twenty-sixth of the area of WASH
lngton has been titled, and last year
more than 100000 bushels of wheat
were harvested there. The trail blazed
by old John Mullan in pioneer days be-
came the route of the Union Pacific into
the northwest, and soon the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern followed to
help open up the. country.
Because she and her sister states of
the Pacific northwest have made good,
washington Is eager to prove TO the
world the resources of Alaska and the
Pacific islands. Washington knows, as
all the rest of the nation should know,
that bordering on the Pacific are other
nations than ours; that these nations
with over 904,000.000 people are traders
in the markets OF the world, spending
annually four billion dollars; and have
hardly begun to do all they mean to
do. Already the commerce OF this
country with China has grown apace.
Up to 1897 we had not done $10,00O,000
worth OF trading with China. In 1909 II
went to $24,500,000 and in 1906 doubled
those figures. Japan, with about $780,
100000 worth of imports, gives one
fifth of this trade to the United States.
The Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition is
to show to South America, Central
America and the Orient especially, and
to all the rest of the world In general.
just what the Pacific slope and the
islands beyond can supply in answer to
the demands of all countries.
The people of the Hawaiian islands
and the Philippines. alive and alert
to their own opportunities since the
American invasion, are ready to take
part in the exposition and prove their
own progress in their own special lines.
Anxious to learn the many great, un-
tried resources of their islands, these
people are ready to encourage immi-
grafton, ready to. be built up INDUS
trially and commercially, even as the
rest of the nation has been built.
Alaska and the Pacific islands await
the worlds realization of their re-
sources, their unbounded wealth, their
adaptability to the agricultural. min
ing, commercial and manufacturing
enterprises of the nation. This is the
lesson that the Alaska ukon-aPcific
exposition has come to teach.

Shippers of California oranges report
that more than half the Redlands dis
trict fruit has been shipped. Prices are
not as high as expected but it is be-
lieved that the market will improve.
The California orange has done much
to advertise California. But then on
the other hand California has done
much to advertise the home grown
orange. In the east an orange suggests
California, and when tourists come
here they ask the nearest road to
the biggest orange grove"

Mother invents Novel Method Of
Keeping Little Ones with Her
During Tour of Big De-.

At big Broadway department store
recently was seen sight which at

of both customers and clerks.
The principals in the incident, were
unconscious, however of the attention
they were given, which added all the
more to the charm of the occasion.
The crowd was big. and the aisles
packed with customers.
The usual woman with babies was
there, carrying them in her arms, or
dragging them along by the wrists.
The little tots would occasionally get
lost, and then would ensue the usual
search, ending up with finding the
fearful youngsters gripping the hands
of some tall. dignified floor walker.
\ But there was one who had most
novel way of managing her little ones,
and keeping them in safe calling dis

and shop to her hearts content.
She had with her two three-year-old
tots. clad in blue coats and With
dainty little hoods to complete their
picturesque appearance.
Now there was no dragging of her
offspring by the wrist, or toting them
along by sheer lifting process in her
arms. She was not to be among the
common horde.
Harnessed Together
The little tads were harnessed to-
eether. with white bands, and were

the shortening, whether butter, lard
or a mixture of both, very cold chop
in with a knife. For mixing use ice
water. Flaky pastry should be knead
ed and rolled three times. Puff pastry
requires eight times. For both fiaky
and puff pastry, wash the butter free
from salt to obtain results. Mix plain
pastry as quickly as possible; do not
knead. For puff pastry use equal
weights of shortening and -four. In
fiaky pastry three-quarters the amount
of shortening. In plain pastry one
third will be found sufficient. Before
rolling, slip knife under edge of dough
to prevent sticking and breaking. Do
not grease pans. Fold dough before

THE FLEETS VISIT

~ OUTHERN CALIFORNIA must
show it's characteristic hospitality
~ in the reception of the fleet and
sailors. San Francisco has expert
enced great difficulty in raising an en-
tertainment fund. In fact, at the end
of last week onl half the sum requi-
site had been contributed. Apologists
for poor old Frisco" say that this is
not due to lack of patriotism, but to
the fact that the city has been hard
put to it and has had to draw heavily
on the resources of generous citizens in
order to fight the plague. 1t will be
lamentable if the first bright break in
San Francisco's lor series of gloomy
troubles should be spoiled by lack q
funds. In Los Angeles-where, thanks
to heaven, we have been free from dis
aster and plague, and where even the
financial panic was only a slight afflic-
ton, hardly perceptible-it is our duty
to spare no pains and to begrudge no
reasonable amount of money in well
coming and entertaining the feet.
We will get more than we give, no
matter how much we may give. 1t
may be had form to count on returns
from patriotic >nerosity, but we might
as well be sensible" about it and ac-
knowledge that the visit OF the feet
will be of advantage to San Pedro, Los
