Small Fruits for Fall.

One of the objects sought in late
years has been the creation OF over
bearing varieties of the small fruits
or of those that will bear a second
crop in the fall.
This has never been achieved, al
though claims have been made from
time TO time. The tree fruits, such
as the apple and peach, have always
possessed sorts that naturally fruited
in the fall, but the raspberry, black
berry and strawberry and other small
fruits have their one appointed season
for bearing and it is in all cases in
the spring, or at least the fruits
blossom and start into growth at that
time, though some varieties of the
blackberry do not ripen till the sum

Claims have been made for an ever.

seem to have been a success. 1t is,
however. common in the case of all
these berries for them to bear kind
Of second crop by putting forth fruit
stems now and then after the main
crop is gone.
The strawberry, too, often blooms
in the fall after long drought, fol
lowed by eopious rains.
Recently, however, some varieties
Of genuine fall-bearing strawberries
have been introduced, whose claims
seem to be we'll substantiated. But
here again they are admittedly not
ever-bearing. but bear in the fall only

IN The spring, Just as other kinds.
These fall-bearing strawberries pro-
mise to become very valuable and OF

east the southern states, where the
fall is warm and frost does not come

This would give them a Ions sea
on and an opportunity to bear large
crops. But even in the middle and
even Northern states they would be
elcomed if they are able to AFFORD

If every cotton farmer understood

months to earn their salaries. it would
certainly affect the stability of the

ALPHABETICAL

nOSTOFFICE workers in the Orient
are trying to introduce uniform
4 or standard system Of spelling in
Latin letters the names of the Chinese
cities. Would it not be more sensible
first to adopt an American alphabet
which will spell our own language uni
formly and sanely? Why make con-
fusion worse confounded by imposing
the wretchedly deficient Latin alphabet
on another unhappy language?
The Latin alphabet has been a world
conuueror because 1t has been used by
conquering races. 1t is only because
we are FUSED to it" we don't realize
the absurdity of clinging to julius
Caesars crude letters for the expression
of the sounds of the American or Eng
lish language. The mischief making
abilities of the Latin alphabet have not
been restricted to the British Islands
and the United States. Everywhere the
commercial and political conquerors
have gone they have insisted on COM
pelIing helpless natives to discard
their own alphabets and "spelP' their
language altogether regardless of
sounds. with the letters which, as ap-
piled to the spelling of English, are an
utter and rank failure. Every man who
writes our language wastes large part
of his life in carrying out conventional
lodges, tricks and arbitraries which
have been substituted for that natural
and logical method of spelling which
can never be obtained while we cling
to an alphabet which has long been out
stripped by our civilization. The Latin
alphabet is a stupid and wretched
archaism which modernity refuses to
discard, although human slavery, the
thumbscrew, belief in the SUMS move
ment around the earth and other men
tai and social "old clothes" have been
sent to the rag heap. We don't need
spelling reform. To attempt that with
the alphabet Of the Romans is a waste

DEMOCRATIC RALLY

that with Judge Alton B. Parker of
New York, published in Los Angeles
Herald. The first great mass meeting
of national Importance reported by
all the newspapers of the United
States, was held at Temple Auditorium
last 'evening.
Judg Parker's address was eloquent,
broadminded, comprehensive, logical
and convincing. and Democratic. The
issues before the country are clearly
defined. and Democracy is on the side
Of Amerieanism. patriotism and pros
perity. Judge Parker's contention that
Democratic tariff reform is a pre-
requisite of national progress is in
disputable. High tariff is the mother
Of trusts and many other evils.
The cause of the evils which have
afflicted the country under Repub-
lican rule should be dealt with in
fearless. statesmanlike way. Illog-
ical, exorbitant, unequal and trust
producing high tariff should not be
protected" If protection to the
American home is to be secured, If
protection to all that is dearest and
best in American life is to be assured,
If the housewife is to be protected at
the cooking range and the child is to
be protected at school, then the false
protection which fosters privilege and
grinds the faces of the poor must be
destroyed.

Southern California is greatly appre-
ciative Of the self-sacrificing patriot
ism of Judge Parker and his friend

nown, Delaney Nicoll, in devoting
some of their vacation time to the
hard work OF active campaigning. And

ative.
