\ news dispatch from San Diego
says Senator Chauncey NJ. Depcw. of
New York may spend the winter in
that Southern California town New
York, no doubt, hopes he will start
Tor San Diego Immediately. They
want rest from Chaunccy, and his
overworked alleged stories, supposed
to be original with him-written by
some poverty stricken cuss for the
cash. Chauncey is too old to still
affect kittenish manners and ways,

The Sheriff, and three deputies of
HOwata, Okla. recently seized ten
barrels of beer for evidence in
roadhouse, arrested the proprietor,
set fire to and completely destroyed
the building. The action of the
Sheriff was based on the Billups
liquor law of Oklahoma, which de-
clares all saloons or places of the
sort shall be destroyed upon dis
covery. Yet this does not prohibit
the sale of liquor generally Earth
quake, fire or flood will never pro-
h'bit the man or woman who desires
drop for the stomach sake from
obtaining it: no. sir

One J. NJ. Glass. of Pasadena Cal
.fornia, gave an address in the Bap-
tist church at Centralia recently, en-
titled, Law and Economics VS.. the
Liquor Traffic. This fellow, de-
feated candidate. by the way, for
Governor of the Golden State. in
the course of his rawlings declared:
kansas, with 100000 population.
has 500 convicts. California, with the
same population as Kansas. has 300
convicts. California is cursed with sa-
looms; Kansas has nonc.'
1t Glass were truthful man, he
would have said to his listeners, that
blind pigs are SO numerous in
Kansas. that it is impossible for the
authorities to stop liquor traffic; also
that Hq"or atone, IS not tie cause of
each and every one of the 4nn con-
victs being confined in the California
| penitenriary. Not five hundred of
the prisoners in the California State
penltentlary, out of the 100 in
mates were sent there on account of
crimes committed through the use of
liquor of any sort. But the truth
! full James, so to speak, did not tell
his audience this cold. truthful fact.
/ Not much. Glass didn't have to:
but if he was an honest, truthful
man, he would have done so. This
butfoOn Glass, would have his hear
erS believe, rs truth. that each con-
vict in the California penitentiary,
200. as he claims. were sent there
on account of using liquor. People
! of the Glass stripe. however, are not
supposed to tell the unvarnished and
naked truth-it would give them too
much of a shock. They only tell
their side of the story the side that
benefits them only.
Wonder at what rate of truthful
ness Glass is quoted by those who
know him in Pasadena a-the million
aire surburb of Los Angeles Or do
they know snch a man at all
If such fellows as Glass-you can
see through a certain brand of glass
would learn how much the world
would miss them, let all such stick
their finger into a bucket of water:
pull it out, then try to find the hole
Such unmitigatcd liars as Glass
should be- compelled to tell the truth
or themselves be forced to tread
the mill.
