Human Hyend.

Did you ever meet human hyens
"a scavenger that lives and thrives
upon the lndlscretlons of their fellow
men and fellow women? Have you
noticed that nature has dealt gingerly
with him? The blood that flows
through his veins is thin and cold. To
the impulses Of the great throbbing
life of the world he cannot respond
He is in love with himself and has not
rival IN the wide world.
"But there's the cold heart and the
murdelous tongue,
The wintry soul that hates to hear
song,
The close-shut fist, the mean and
measuring eye,
And all the little poisoned ways of
wrong
These Human Hyenas are in the
newspaper business. Have you ever
had one of them call at your office and
tell you that unless the corporation
would give them d hundred dollars OF
more they would expose you and your
business. And you paid it rather than
have the community hold you up to
public scorn. Yes the Matchmaking
human hyena is the lowest in the scale
of animal life and the killing Of such
is not maDslaughter.

THE TWO BILLIES TO LEAD.
There having been a splitting of the
favorIte son delegations in Wisconsin,
Illinois and New York, it begins to
louk as if the two Williams were dead
sure to be the nominees of their re-
spective parties for the presidency,
and that 1t would be nip and tuck
race between them. There is now,
no doubt In the minds Of many who
are keeping tab on public sentiment,
that party lines to great extent will
be ignored by the voters and the in
dependent vote be the largest ever
known in the political history uf the
country.

TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.

TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
The Saturday issue of the Milwau-
kee Journal was a great credit to the
editorial and mechanical force OH that
excellent paper. 1t marked the TWEEN
ty-ffth anniversary of the beginning
of the paper IN modest way, which
has grown with the years and the
wonderful development of the city in
which it is published, into metro
poitan sheet, which is a credit TO
Milwaukee. In the issue referred to,
there is an interesting history of the
paper and what it has stood for NOR
ally, socially and politically during
the period of it's existence, and it has
generally been right. and the positions
taken sustained by public sentiment.
The writer well remembers when Lutte
Nieman launched the Journal upon the
sea of journalism and had misgivings,
for he came into sharp competition
with two able papers, one morning
anu the other an afternoon sheet. but
success has crowned the efforts of
himself and associates. For quarter
of a century, it has been pleasure
to read the Journal and our very worst
wish is, that the Journal will continue
to meet with success and always es-
pouse every cause that is striving for
Justice and civic Righteousness; and
may Lutte Nieman and Henry C. Camp
long in the land and prosper.

in the United States senate. His de-
cision to again seek the governorship
instead of the senate, will be exceed

regard the governor as either great
man nor a successful chief executive.
With the opportunities to have given
the state an economical administration
by reducing state expenditures in all
departments to a reasonable figure,
he has proven his lack of force and
capacity to deal with questions that
have confronted him as d representa-
tive of the reform propaganda IN the
state. Under his admin ,stration ex-
penses have increased instead of be-
ing diminished, taxes have been aug
mented until they are budrensome,
the state has been filed with officials
drawing good salaries and large ex-
pense accounts. The biennial budget
has more than doubled since the re-
form wave swept over the state. 1t
is to be hoped that james 0. Davidson
will secure the republican guperna-

be defeated, for the voters are becom-

pretence which has obtained in this

genuineness of the signatures was at
tached to the petition. City Attorney
Long stated that the state law gave the
city council the right to call for vote
on such a question. either at a special
election or at a general election. There
fore, he said, the matter could be laid
over until December, 1909. when the
next general election will be held.
Councilman Stearns said he feared
the adoption of such an amendment
would mean the general opening up
of the town. City Attorney Long
agreed that although restrictions as to
hours and the size of meals ) it'll which
liquor could be served were to be de-
termined by the council, the table
license practically would mean an open
town.
The 100 signers of the petition. how
ever, assert that the eouncilmen's in
dividual opinions have nothing to do
with the case at present, and that they
should recognize the wishes of the ma
jority and call the election as the char
ter provides, thus giving the people a
voice.
There is a popular hope that the coun-
cilmen will appreciate public sentiment
enough to reconsider the matter at the
meeting they will hold next Monday.
If this action is not taken the recall
may be resorted to. The petitions for a
recall election require the signatures of
only 40 per cent of the voters.

Becomes Effective

PASADENA, Nov. 2S.-WiH the city
council of Pasadena amend the charter
so that II. e. Huntington can get a
thirty year franchise? That is the
question that is worrying the members
of the Lincoln Avenue Improvement
association, which wants a trolley line
through its district.
In times past Mr.. Huntington has
announced his willingness to build a
road if the association can collect a
bonus of $4,000. The association has
had its doubts. but Is sure it can raise
half that amount.
Consequently there was joy in the
camp when the news reached Pasadena
today through a letter from Attorney
Dunn of the Huntington lines that
$4,000 would be q sufficient bonus,
providing the city would revise that
clause in its charter which makes 1t
impossible to grant q franchise for a
longer term than twenty years.
a proposed amendment to that effect
is already before the charter revision
committee, and the residents of Lincoln
avenue propose to get exceedingly busy
in an effort to secure its passage.

When the Blood
Goes Wrong
Man Suffers In Many Places Like
a City Whose Sewers Spread
Disease

When the blood of man becomes i'm
pure and filled with poison and decay,
it throws off the impurities and leaves
them to force and tester themselves
through the skin, just like a city IN
whose sewers foul gases arise and es-
cape up through cellars into houses
bringing contagion and death.
What a city needs is a generous flow
of pure water to carry along and away
the sewage which breeds death and
disease. What the system needs for
the blood that is impure is purifier
that will stimulate the flow of the
precious fluid, that will check the i'm
purities and remove them by the flow
of the blood from the system naturally
without irritation, infection and pain
Calcium Sulphide is the strongest
blood purifier known to science and
medicine. What pure, running water
does to the impurities In a city's sewer
Calcium Sulphide does for the blood
of man.
Stuart's Calcium Waters give the hu-
man body all the strength and vigor of
Calcium Sulphide, in better form than
any other mode of presenting it to the
system. A recent article has stated
that most Calcium Sulphide prepara-
lions contain but 30 per cent of the
strength of this wonderful cleanser, the
other 70 per cent being lost by evapora-
ton, chemical change and decay
Stuarts Calcium Waters contain 9TH
er blood purifiers like Quassia, Golden
Seal and Eucalyptus, each having a
distinct function to perform; also an
Alternative and laxative to throw off
through the human sewerage system
(the bowels) the waste and poisonous
matter extricated by the blood puri-
fiers.
These little waters are a tremendous
power and act with amazing rapidity
in their work of cleansing the blood
and clearing the skin. Every druggist
carries them in stock; price SOC per
box, or send us your name and address

LOCAL SOCIETY DOES HONOR
TO AGED EDUCATOR
Fiftieth Anniversary of, Missionary
and Historian Observed by Large
Gathering from All Parts
of the Valley
Especial to The Herald.1

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 2S.-The
weekly gathering of the San Bernar-
dino Pioneer society today was nota-
BILE affair. 1t resolved itself into re-
ception to celebrate the eighty-third
anniversary of the birth of Mrs. r. P.
Robbins Crafts, and the fiftieth ami
vo"sary of her coming to this valley.
There was q large gathering Of pioneers
and Native Sons and Daughters from
all parts of the valley.
Mrs Crafts recently completed the
publication of a large volume of remin-
iscences and historical facts Of the early
history of the valley that will be of i'm
mense value to the county and South
ern California.
Addresses were made by several
prominent pioneers and by others, and
numerous other features helped to make
the day one long to be remembered by
all. With her husband, Mrs. Crafts
came to this valley half century ago.
They came as educators and mission
aries, and left their stamp OH the val
ley in no uncertain degree, there now
being hundreds of people in middle life
and more advanced who were Mrs.
Crafts school pupils half century ago.
