TRESPASS ON LIBERTY

ITO CURTAIL the educational advan-
tages Of American children is a
Il trespass on American liberty. In
the old Arabian story, first the traveller
allowed the big camel to poke his head
into the little tent, then his long neck.
then his humps and his legs, and by
that time there wasn't much left OF him,
and in another minute he had crowded
the traveller out of his tent. and in
another he was walking away with the
collapsed tent on his high back and
the traveller, whom he had trampled
under foot, was lying bleeding on the
sands.
The American nation has been envied
by many others for various reasons, but
more principally because 1t took such
good care Of its women and children.
1t cherished and protected the women.
1t educated all it's children. The edu-
cation was not a sham. It was good,
complete education. Public school
graduates in this land were easily equal
to academy graduates in any other
country, excepting perhaps Scotland.

where public school system was estab-

GOOD STORY SPOILED

IN DWARD HUNGERFORD'S story
H. "Out of a job" published in Har-
per's Weekly, is spoiled by the
conclusion. which shows that pains
taking writer adds to considerable
imagination and a faculty for descrip-
tion an equally considerable amount
of ignorance concerning his subject
After making many vain efforts to
obtain employment, young man
named. for convenience Jones'"
reaches a conclusion "In his early
business days he had been a stem
ographer and typewriter Twenty-Five
dollars week is better than 5000 prom
ised. That seemed certain. Quietly,
the very next day, at the employment
bureau of a typewriting concern. he
put in his application for a temporary
job as stenographer. THERE WAS
VERY LITTLE TROUBLE ABOUT
GETTING THAT" Col. Harvey and
Brother Hungerford, we do not believe
that statement. We refuse to accept it
even with a whole saltcelar full of
modification. If your Jones had been
lucky enough to get employment as
easily as you indicate-but we cannot
believe it without proof-then you may
rest assured that he DID NOT GET $25
A WEEK. Why, colonel, it is painfully
evident that you have been out of the
rough and tumble and a resident of
Easy street for long time. III real
life your Jones would have received
about TEN dollars week, "as begin
ning," with "a promise of raise" to $12
Or SIS. Before he received the raise
he would probably be half dead with
general worry and with the problem
Of educating a family, and in due
course of time his children would be
added to the United States Grand
Army of 2,OOOOOO Infant Toilers.

CLEAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
WILMINGTON HARBOR

n DISPATCHES indicate that the
Wilmington harbor bill Will soon
- become law. Congressman Nc
Lachlan yesterday secured from the
house committee on rivers and har-
bors a favorable report on the Flint
resolution, authorizing the secretary
of war to lay out harbor lines in Will
mington harbor, and it is expected in
Washington that the resolution will
be adopted today. This is encourag-
ing news to all who have at heart
the maritime interests and develop
ment of Southern California, and
marks the beginning of another era in
the progress and prosperity of this
state. The coincidence of the visit of
the fleet with the news of the prospect
of the harbor development of Whining
ton is happy one, and even people
who are not superstitious may be par
doned for receiving the fortunate con-
Junction as an augury of good prom
Use for the future prosperity of the
coast and the coast cities. Within the
next few years the commerce of the
Pacific slope and the Pacific ocean will
be increased not merely greatly, but
enormously. 1t is plain to all observ-
ers that there is nothing accidental
or fortuitous about recent and present
growth, and when that growth af-
fects favorably this II that individual
community it is somewhat provincial
TO talk of local boom, because ALL
Southern California is enjoying a
boom, and has been booming for years,
and with increased harbor facilities
will boom more than ever. If one
could talk of a perpetual boom, then
that would ne the correct term to use
in speaking of Southern California.
But when a boom becomes perpetual,
surely it ceases to be a boom, and be-
comes SETTLED though perhaps

news that poor old Abe Hummel is to

lawyer in the United States has given
a memorable example of the truth Of
the saying that you cannot touch pitch

atmosphere and surroundings finally
corrupted a man who began his career

erything you eat turns to either

Your food sours. is only half digest

pit OF the stomach, Shiny tongue
bad taste in the mouth. consultation
nausea, belching OF gas, dizziness.
sick headaches, intestinal griping.
mental depression and many other
common symptoms.
You can cure all this by not eat
ing, by not putting any food in your
stomach to ferment; but how about
the nourishment needed to sustain
your bodily strength? II you are a

Every possible kind of Stomach
trouble is readily cured by Diapep-
sin which takes right hold of the
food in your stomach and digests it
alone, without the help of the stom-
ach, just as If your stomach wasn't
