PLANS TAG DAY TO RAISE
CASH FOR FIRE APPARATUS
Chamber of Commerce Of San Ber-
nardino viii Try to Secure Fund
for Machinery in Novel
Manner

SAN BERNARDINO. Dec. 12.-The
plan of conducting a tag day in San
Bernardino for the purchase of add
tional fire apparatus is being consid-
cred, the plan being put up to the
chamber of commerce for approval.
If the matter is favorably consid-
cred by the committee it is probable
it will be held in the near future.
The reason for raising funds in the
manner proposed is that there seems
to be a lack of money in the city
treasury for that purpose.

LOWE OPERA HOUSE TO BE
PUT BEYOND RISK OF FIRE

PASADENA, Dec. 12.-Peaee hovers
again over the Lowe opera house ana,
by a little mutual concession, neither
Manager Coyle nor City Electrician
Reeves has lost out in the plan to
have the stage properly lighted.
The city council met in special SEES
sion at the opera house, acting as a
committee of the whole, and after in
speeding the wiring there Manager
Coyle agreed to make changes which
would place the building out of dan
ger from fires caused by electric wires.

Number of Houses Increases

SAN BERNARDINO. Dec. 12.-The
building of homes continues through
out the city. For the first eleven days
of December the permits have
amounted to nearly 100000 which is
considered a good start, especially as
the month is usually a dull one in
building lines. The total for the year
will reach $500, 900, which is double that
for last year.

Unless the latest advices from
Washington are at fault, President
Roosevelt contemplates' long period
of rest and silence after his retire
ment from office next year. He has
abandoned that. idea of succeeding
Mr.. Platt in the United States Sem
ate, and may go to the ends of the
earth to hunt big game instead
Alaska may attract him, or Central
Africa; he does not take kindly to
Secretary Taft's suggestion Of trip
to the Philippines or Secretary Roots
proposal of a jaunt to South Amc -ica
because of the semi-official charac-
ter the journey might assume, nor
has he any notion Of following the
Grant precedent and making a tour
around the earth. When anyone
has had seven years as strenuous as
those that Mr.. Roosevelt will have
completed in the Presidency a few
months hence, the prospect of year
or two of quiet seems peculiarly
agreeable. The President has earn
ed his sabbatical. May he enjoy it
without distracting thought

A GOOD LOSER AND ANOTHER.

Judge William H. Wallace,
when he learned that he was de-
feated in the race for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Govern
or, said, Il shall vote the ticket
thus showing that the thousands
who supported him were not
mistaken in their man. Judge
Wallace is a sincere, honest, in
telligent, earnest aud unselfish
citizen, and a worthy Democrat.
His campaign consisted in state
ments of facts and principles.
not in mud-slinging and misrep.
resentatiOn. In his defeat he
showed himself a good loser.
How different was Ball. He
began to yell fraud before
election day was over and finally
stated that he would abide by
the steal" If a steal it was he
is not doing his duty to Democ.
racy in abiding by it. If fraud
has been committed it is his
duty to show it.
But Balls ba wiling is only the
natural sequel to the campaign
which he put up. He was con
stantly making charges againsi
Cowherd and Cowherd's friends
that were calculated to do the
party harm. And now by vent
ing his spleen he is giving cam
paign material to the Republi
cans. Ball is a poor Democrat
a beefer and a bad loser.

the tools of the boss and the
lobby, but when he came to
present his case to the people of
Missouri, there was a different
outcome. The people elected a
different sort of a legislature,
and at the next session one of
the first things that was done
was to put through a fellow-serv-
ant law which, at best, could not
have been secured in years had
not Stone taken up the fight and
carried it to the finish. The lob
by was Infatuated, and its hire.
lings have been camping on
Stones trail ever since. With
what success the people of Mis-.
souri, know. He was made a
United States Senator in 1908
over the combined opposition of
the lobby and the Republican
party, and that, too, after the
lobby's orators and newspapers
had filled the air with vile fabri-
cations and nauseous stories, de-
signed to discredit Stone before
the people he had served. 1t was
Stone who first barred the foul
bosom of the lobby to the weap-
ons of the people, and it is hard
to believe Missourians are apt to
forget the real identity Of his en-
emies, whether they come in
strange guises, bearing gifts, or
in their own hideous persons,
undisguised. The story Of his
service in the fight against the
lobby is forever engraved upon
the public records Of the state,
which liars cannot misrepresent
nor yandal hands mutllate.

THE LOBBY AND STONE.

In these somewhat forgetful
days, when the enemies Of Sena-
tor Stone seek to underestimate
his influence and to belittle his
public achievements, it would not
be amiss for Missourians to be
once more reminded that it was
Stone whobegan the fight against
Legislative boodling and corrupt
lobby methods -not that his
friends really need to be remind
ed, for they retain a strong re-
membrance of Stones fierce
struggle with the railroad lobby
in the legislature of 1895, and
how he measured swords with its
representatives in a clash that
resounded throughout the state.
That was thirteen years ago and
the intense feeling against the
lobby, which has ever since man
Tested itself, had not yet begun
to be aroused. So it was many
times more difficult for a Govern.
or to stand and do combat with
so insidious a foe of the public
welfare as the organized lobby.
1t took infinitely more courage
then than it would now, for the
people have in more recent years
become better informed as to the
real mission of thatpotent agency
constantly at work against leg
islation in the public interest.
Nevertheless, Stone undertook
the task, and set the lobby chiefs
and lobby tools to squlrmlng and
wriggling while they heaped de.
nu~nciations upon him and swore
to wreak vengeance upon his Of
Tending head, if it took a genera.
ton. 1t was the keynote and
Stone sounded it in no uncertain
tones.
In 1895, the House Of Repre-
s~entatiyes was Republican, ant
largely under the absolute dom
ination Of Republican bosses
notably Chauncy l. Filley, ther
in the hey-day of his power. Co
eval with the rule Of Filleyisn
was the supremacy of the rail
road lobby. The twain were in

The management of the Hagen

assurance that there we're no
gamblers or robbers following
the show and the assurance was
borne out by events. There was,
to be sure, a shell game; but that
can not be classed as gambling,
as there is no chance to it,
or robbery, as the victim goes in

Efforts to dope out the result
of the Folk Stone race from the

it is true that most of Balls

Anyhow, outside of Pike county
