VILLAIN RIGGS LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROYAL COURT

NV HILE holding the commission of
wv lieutenant general of the Royal
W Guards of the Royal Court,
William p. Riggs is more widely
known under the title of captain, and
it is the latter title that has brought
him more honors than any other. The
pride of the captain" is Company ID,
Royal Guards, which was organized
about year ago, and today Is one Of
the best drilled companies on the
coast. Los Angeles assembly Is justly
proud of its guards, and their appear
ance on the floor in natty scarlet
tunics. hussar caps and carrying out
the colors of the order is always a
signal for applause of the widest sort.
Covering a period of five years. drilling
many teams for different orders in Los
Angeles, always successful in putting
winning teams on the floor, both for
exhibition and in competition, the
guards of company B are the result of
the captains" experience, and 1t is
the opinion of many experts who have
seen them drill that there are few, IL
any, companies of guards that could
win over them in competition. Pico
assembly is organizing company, and
as Courtier Riggs is a member of that
assembly. he will get them ready for
work. 4,

on last Tuesday evening was one of
the largest attended ever held by that
assembly. over sixty per cent of

of the evening. Past Chancellor Bruce

hind the political victory must be the

Though the workers are dlspossessed,
they are de facto TO the only economic
power. They own no wealth, but they
produce all wealth. They own no

Republic must be an economic or in

build political supremacy upon, but
they are de facto the only economic

and. to the mind of the Socialist,
should be perfectly clear IL is upon
