Novel Campaign Argument
1t Is said that a dead man Will tell

stones and you will fnd this axiom
disputed to your entire satisfaction.
You will notice that the most Of those
who departed from this earth during
the dark democratic days OF 1~893-4-5-6,
have a small, cheap granite slab
headstone to mark their grave; many
of the graves are marked with . com
mon board, and some who have gone
before are buried in the potter's field,
all because those who were left behind
did not have sufhcient Of this worlds
goods to provide better tombstones
or more desirable burial lots. And
you will further notice that since the
year 1907, those who were called to
that land from whence no traveller
returns" have large, expensive. gran
ite shafts at the head of their grave.
Any one who will observe must ad-
init this to be true, and this speaks
louder and stronger than any cam
padm argument that can possibly be
made against democratic free trade
which always has and always will
bring disaseer and ruin to the people
Of the United States.

America two years ago on a cO-opera-
tive proposition. The concern was
known as the South American lumber
company and the investors subscribed
$50. 900. At Santa Clara, Paraguay,

ADD ONE YEAR TO
COURSE IN ARTS
Superintendent Recommends
That Polytechnic School
Have Longer Period
New System of Penmanship Will
Be Installed in Department
by P. Espina

Alfred Roncovieri, superintendent of
schools, recommended to the board of
education yesterday that the mechanics
arts course of the polytechnic high
school, covering now a period of three
years, be extended to a four years
course. The school vial continue to
give the regular course which pre-
pares for the university. The chief
aim of the new course will be to pre-
pare young men and women who are
compelled to complete their education
at the end of a high school course.
A committee from the West End bet
terment club called on the board to
ask for further improvements in the
polytechnic school. They were A. H.
Williams, Max GumpeI and General E.
s. Salomon. Previously the club had
asked the board of supervisors for i'm
provements amounting to $4,000. The
same request was made of the board
of education yesterday. The board
explained that the total appropri-
alton granted the board was 1924, 900
and must be divided among IS schools.
OF this total already $4,000 had been
spent for tools and other necessaries
to be installed in the polytechnic this
term The committee expressed salts
faction.
For more than 10 years, Superintend-
ent Roncovieri pointed out, the teach
ing of writing in the schools has been
in an unsettled condition. The changes
made in recent years have upset the
teachers and pupils, so that now. Ron
covieri said, the instructors needed ex-
pert lessons to get back TO the normal
The vertical writing reform, the super
intendent said, had proved a decided
| failure where speed and ease of exc
cution were required.
To remedy these defects, the board
appointed P. Espina, teacher OF pen
manship in the commercial school,
supervisor Of penmanship for one year.
Espina will use his own copy slips, dis
regarding the copy books OF the state
series.
Roncovieri also suggested that the
| board of supervisors and the board of
public works be requested to put down
| sidewalks and pavements in front of
the Irving NJ Scott and Richmond
schools. The work on the blocks in
which these schools are located Is COM
pleted. except in front of the school
buildings.
! Leaves of absence were granted to
Mary Parks, Jeanette Anderson, Daisy
WELL Lalia S. Richards, Esther r. Wolf
and Bonnie Wheeler.
| The designations Of Margaret ]. CAL
lagher and Edith NJ. Boyle were ac-
cepted.
Marion A. Jones was appointed a
| teacher in free hand drawing in the
girls high school and Miss NJ c. Dow
/ ling a teacher in Spanish in the Lowell
high school.
| All the schools will open on August
for the beginning of the new term.

STATE TO HANDLE
BIG FRUIT CROP

California will be able to finance
the handling of the great fruit crop
or this season without calling on east
ern or European money centers for
aid. according to prominent bankers.
While the fruit crop for this season
is far larger than it was last year the
prices will not be so high and the
farmers will not receive so much in
return, but the largeness of the har-
vest means the need for many men
and women to handle it, and their en-
ployment means the greatest general
distribution in wages for many years.
The chief trouble confronting farmers
now Is scarcity of help.
Frank B. Anderson. manager of the
Bank of California, said yesterday:
California financial interests are amply
able to supply the s41,000,00 or more
necessary to handle all the crops of
the west, including the salmon pack,
and also to handle the sugar crop.
which will amount to about ss5. 600. :
600 additional. The season will be a
profitable one and there seems no
danger of any financial hardships this
fall
P. n. Lilienthal OF the Anglo Cali
fornian bank reiterated Anderson's re-
view of the situation.
j.. K. Armsby of the commission
Arm stated that the California fruit.
vegetable and bean crops will bring
s36,212.000 for this year, while last
year the returns were about $50. 6.0OO,-
900. The farmers won't make as
much individually this year as they did
last" said Armsby, but the state
will get more. 1t will cost 10 times
as much to harvest this years april
cots as it did last year, and twice as
much to handle the peaches. and that
increased cost will benefit the labor of
the state. There is call for workers
in fruit throughout the state"
