 ANOTHER VICTIM,

A congressman recently died in a western city. The papers, with a kindness they would not have shown a nod carrier, drew the curtain over his sad ending. and gave a respectable name to the cause of his demise. In fact this man went to attend a big political convention and went up- on a prolonged drunk.
 His friends were unable to re- strain him, and the usual meth ods to sober him up failed. He was taken to a sanatarium where he died of acute alcoholism. Out of pity to his friends and family let his name go unwritten.
 He is simply another American citizen killed by the power that has so long controlled American politics.
 Oh! When will the worn turn, and our American manhood rise in his majesty and hurl this abomination to complete oblitera- ton?
 Whose loved one will be next?

Out in the Pacific, some 90 miles from San Francisco, is a group of rocky islands which have come to fill & double mission, that of guiding the mariner to port and that of giving the farmer an advance tip on weather con dihons, for on the barren rocks has been reared lofty signal light and a weather bureau station.
