NALIFoRNIA's need of the hour is

CALIFORNIA; need of the hour is
more capital. We need more prac-
~ teal manufacturers TO come here
with their capital and produce the
things which the state is now import
ing from other states and for which
we are sending out locally produced
wealth In payment We need more
capital to be loaned at a fair rate of
interest to the Californians who have
discovered the opportunities and who
are now successfully taking advantage
of them, but who are restricted In their
field of operation because of inadequate
means with which to build up their
business to the point of greatest eff
cheney and profit. In other words. we
need both working capital and more
lending capital We need the man who
has ideas with means; and we need the
man who has means with faith, says
the Riverside Enterprise.
The only sort of hard times which
California has had for a decade has
been the kind which has come to those
who has been operating without suf-
ficient capital. Enthusiasm is in the
very atmosphere of California and
everyone who comes here with a par
ticle of foresight sees the marvellous
development which is destined to take
place all over this commonwealth
within the next decade. Those who be-
gin In business, If they keep up with
the times, find that they are at once
obliged to prepare for more business.
The first installation is inadequate to
meet the demands which come with
success because OF the very rapid de-
velopment in this state along ali lines

THE MAYORALTY

MOOD citizens of Los Angeles do not
IL feel discouraged over the attempt
~ of the enemy to introduce en-
barrassing difficulties into the path Of
progress. 1t was hardly to be expected
the powers and influences that had put
up a vigorous and even venomous de-
Tense of A. c. Harper would allow the
champions of morality and civic
righteousness to proceed with their
good work.
Mr.. stephens having undertaken the
responsibilities of the office in order to
save the city from an awkward posi-
ton, which might have caused serious
trouble. found himself suddenly ''popu-
lar with the very element that would
have exhausted every effort of CAM
paigning ingenuity in the endeavor to
defeat him had he accepted the nomi-
nation rendered to him by the citizens
who subsequently nominated George
Alexander.
Mr.. Stephens is an experienced and
sagacious man, and it is impossible to
deceive him as to the true motives of
his emergency" mayoralty permanent,
and on the specious plea of saving ex-
pense, and on various other equally
specious pleas have been endeavoring
to force him into a position more para
doxical and absurd than any ever
imagined by Gilbert and Sullivan. AL
though he would have been objection
able to these men as the recall candi-
date for mayor they have been trying
to put him in a position which is
hardly distinguishable from that of
being the anti-recall candidate for
mayor!
They have tried to use him for the
purpose of blocking" the candidature
of George Alexander, although Mr..
Stephens has declined to accept the
nomination on the ticket now headed
by George Alexander.
Mr.. Alexander is not only the candi-
date for mayor, but he is the logical
candidate for mayor and the logical
next mayor of Los Angeles. 1t is to be
hoped all the friends of good govern
ment and of orderly progress will unite
in bringing the campaign for Mr.. Alex
ander to a most triumphant close and
will elect the candidate of their own
selection, the recall candidate, in such
fashion that his success will emphasize
the triumph of the recall principle and
encourage all the true hearted, loyal
Americans who are now fighting the
battles of good government in every
part of the United States. The Ameri-
can nation today is wide awake to the
fact that eternal VIGILANCE is the
price of liberty. Los Angeles, the first
city in the land to apply vigilance 10
the popular supervision of the official
management of free institutions, will
proceed to bring the whole matter to a
logical conclusion by the election OF

AS they were held in the clutches of 22oc volts on a live wire yesterday afternoon the lad rushed up with broom and with tho handle held the wire back until the two, could escape. badly burned hand on the part of Pippen was the only injury.
 Pippen and sirles were at work on the union depot shed. The former fell off and lighted on . live wire carrying heavy electric light current. Sirles, seeing him transnxed. ran to him and tried to pull him off. At once the current ran through both bodies and held them fast The boy, seeing that they were helpless, ran up and held the wire back until Pippen could pull away, saving them both, as neither could get away from the awful grasp of the current alone.

SLDELIGH7S ON THE AMENDMENT

state and there is no special sanctity which will protect such property from the police regulations of the state that does not apply to any other property which the citizen may own.
 The Second Section.
 Tn conclusion, I will say that have not heard any respectable lawyer who , denies that the second section of the pro- posed amendment. if Adopted will au- thorize the legislature of the state to designate the home as one of the places where liquor shall not be stored or kept but the advocates of the amendment say that you can trust the legislature not to do anything of the kind. My answer to this Is. under the Fuller bill you have already prohibited the storing or keeping of liquor in any other place except the home, and If you do not expect to in- wade the home why do you ask for a constitutional amendment which Sil en- able the legislature to invade the home?
 Again, the same people who tell us we may trust the legislature implicitly not to pass any law which will authorize the invasion of the home, in the next breath say that the legislature can not be trusted to maintain the present gro hlbition laws in the state If the legis lature can be trusted implicitly In the one case why, l ask, can It not be trust ed In the other? A public man who seeks to guide the thought and action of a people in a matter of great concern to them should be sincere and frank and conscientious and I am unable to under. stand how 1t is that the legislature In the one case Is entitled to all confidence and In the other Is entitled to no conf dence whatever.
 Not Against Prohibition.
 And still again. the position taken by the Montgomery convention and those who agree with 1t is not against prohi- bition. The position there taken is that statewide prohibition in this state is an untried experiment and should not be made permanent or put into the constitu- ton at least until the experiment has been tried and found to be what its ad . vocates claim for 1t. I think I can give an illustration of our position which ought to make this clear at least to farmer

Meridian, Miss. October 3O.-(Special.)- M.

The man had taken an overdose of bromide and had followed this up with dose of morphine. In statement to the police after he had regained consciousness, Tate said that after taking the bromide he realized that he was going to die, and had taken the morphine to counteract the other poisonous drug. Tate is said to have a wife and two children in Helena.
