Mr.. Rea does not gloss over his own

know when he says that the pohtcaA
system in this state Is corrupt through

REVELATION To UNSOPHIsTICATED
Jim Rea's confession in The Call is
the liveliest reading supplied to the
California public in many day. The
old politician undertakes to make out
the best case possible for himself. but
hardly succeeds. His glimpses into
the Indian language OF politics will
serve to enlighten the public far better
than any or all OF the books that have
been appearing on the subject. Rea
deals from first hands. He does not
conceal the fact that his motive is re-
venge, but the lively interest that he
maintains throughout his long diatribe
is so pregnant OF fact as to give il a
place in contemporary politics that
cannot be disputed. While the select
few on the inside will not experience
much of a sensation on reading the dis
course, il cannot fail to have a pro-
found effect on the Unsophisticated. AS

publication is the best and biggest

vAssALAGE OF CALIFORNIA

designed to illustrate the idea of "ex-
posing the grafters."
Some thought in the morning that

the idea was a reflection upon our
own honorable higher ups" but when
The Call arrived at noon with four
pages full OF Jim" Rea's remarkable
confession it seemed very fitting that
attention should be called to The Call
of that date. If any one has any doubt
about the vassalage of California citi-
Zens, the contamination of the press
and the wide reach of the tentacles of
the octopus, Jim" Rea's story should
disillusienize them.
Jim" Rea, as is well known, has
been a field marshal in the service of
the Southern Pacific political bureau,
with headquarters at San Jose. He
has at last quarreled with Herrin and
not in contrition, but in reYenge-nOw

interest throughout California. 1t was
published in the San Francisco Call
of Saturday, and occupied more than
three pages of that newspaper. 1t is
a revelation of the political methods
OF the Southern Pacific bureau, and

REVEALS A BRUTAL FACT

REVEALS A BRUTAL FACT
The San Francisco Call has secured
a remarkable statement from Jim
Rea, long time boss OF San Jose. ex-
posing the methods of the Southern
Pacific railroad machine. But. remark
able as the statement is, it still shows
the self-seeking politician. Jim" Rea
has no epyiable record in California,
and he pretends TO no higher mo9ve
in this statement that a desire for per-
sonal revenge on W. f. Herrin. But.
at his worst, Jim" Rea's enemies
have always conceded him two vir-
tues-personaL courage and veracity-
You can't scare Jim" Rea, and he won't
lie TO you. That makes his testimony
worth more than most states evil
dence. His successor, Johnnie Macken-
zie, in San Jose, was both a liar and
a coward. That, perhaps. is the reason
he was more valued by Herrin.
But the statements, general as they
are. reveal first hand the state of af-
fairs which everybody has known about
second hand. And they are a startling
revelation of point of view-sOrdid,
immoral, cynical and despairing Of
good. This man, who thus reveals him
self and the system of which he was
part is the natural product and was
once the proudest leader of the system
that has ruled US all. He himself glim-
meringly sees that if it continues the
republic is doomed. His confession may
serve at least TO open the eyes of those
who stubbOrnly refused to see the ter
rible, brutal fact.-Fresno Republican.

Going to Chicago.

MIR. Ben Bear, Decorah's square
dealer will depart for Chicago the end
OF the week, by appointment with the
well known clothing firm of Hart,
Schatfner & Marx, to make his selec-
tion of clothing for next winter. Mr..
Bear is one of the merchants who be-
lieves in getting in on the ground
floor, and thus in preparing and
selecting months ahead he secures the
very cream of the market and the very
latest and best in the clothing line.
The immense stock OF goods he pur-
chases and brings to DEBORAH every
year takes an exceptionally amount of
nard work on his part, as nothing but
the very latest and best in cloth and
styles can enter his store. and in his
trip to Chicago this week, and with
his we'll known semi-annual trips to
the great metropolis of New York,
Mr.. Bear intends to bring to DEBORAH
one of the grandest stocks of clothing
that it has ever been his privilege in
the 80 long years of his business ca
reer here.

Disastrous Fire Averted.

Last night about 10 80 fire was dis
covered in the paint aud wall paper
s@tore of q. L. Bailey on Winnebago
street. and but for the prompt re-
Spouse of the department, one of the
worst fires that DEBORAH has had to
combat with in years would have been
the result. The fire started no doubt
from spontaneous combustion, in the
paint room of the store and was gain
ing pretty good Roadway when dis
covered. The flames were spreading
around in the room in close proximity
to can of gasoline, which fortunately
did not explode. and il it had the re.
suit would have been disastrous per-
haps to the whole block. the st. Cloud
hotel being in close proximity to the
building.
But when it comes to fires the De.
corah fire department is never found
wanting, and for a volunteer depart
ment we feel that we have the best in
the state, because their worth has
been demonstrated on many an occa-
sion such as last nights, and the
citizens of DEBORAH should feel proud
in having such an excellent and we'll
organized department.
The loss to Mr.. Bailey by fire and
smoke is quite heavy. but we under
stand is fully insured.
