EXPLAINS SONG REFERRED TO
IN BIBLE; IS PROPHETICAL

Editor Herald. The song referred
to by C. A. L. (Numbers 21:17-10 is
prophetical, being the testimony of
Jesus the Christ.
There is no mention of Moses or the
princes of his day digging this we'll
If they did, it were but types of bet
ter things TO come" The believer in
Christ is the well. He is counseled to
drink running waters out of his own
well. Having first received the water
of life by believing on him. "as the
Scripture hath said" not as this or
that man or creed hath said. The well
must be dug and cleansed by the direc-
tions of the Lawgiver the Lord be-
ing the law-giver.
For he that believeth on him. as the
Scripture hath said, out of mis- belly
shall flow rivers of living water.
For whosoever drinketh of the wa
ter that Christ shall give him shall
never thirst, but will be in him a well
of water springing up into everlast-
ing life"
This is the "springing up" referred to
in the song. The answering to it or
responding to it is in bringing forth
the fruits of the Spirit in our lives.
The princes are those who, like ia
good, becoming "Israelites" indeed or
princes of God, being the "sons Of
God"
The tvO "staves" are the Living
Word" Bands and beauty, or Flaw
and gospel" being the means both to
dig and cleanse the well.
"Wherewithal shall a man cleanse
his way? By taking heed thereto ac-
cording to thy Word" Purifying the
soul by obedience to the truth "Thy
word is truth
Lack of space will not permit more
than this bare outline. 1 counsel pro-
found meditation on this very impor-
tant though brief song. j. r. KITS.

To cure the drunkard or defective
is a puzzle as difficult as the problem
of perpetual motion. That, however,
the world continues experimenting with
reclamation plans, in spite of the dis
couragement of past failures, is at least
hopeful. The gold cure" doubtless
helped many a man to sobriety and
for that reason should not be con-
demned. But that 1t failed in a large
percentage of cases cannot be denied.
Down in Los Angeles the chief of
police proposes the establishment of
municipal farm of 1850 acres, on
which the city's prisoners, habitual
drunkards and men convicted of pet
ty offenses may be healthfully en-
ployed, with profit to themselves and
the city. II is part of the chiefs plan
t combine with the farm a system of
treatment for the liquor and drug ha-
bits which has already been used with
marked success in the city and county
hospitals. 1t is interesting to know that
the police commission cordially indorses
the chiefs suggestion, and it is not i'm
possible that the council will ultimately
provide a liquor treatment to be given
the more obstinate drunkards whose
craving is not CURED by open air life,

ment. OF course Judge Lindsay In
Denver has been pursuing similar
methods in dealing with the juvenile
delinquents in Denver But the Los
Angeles plan contempates extending
them to older offenders. Chief Kohler of
Cleveland is so sympathetic with his
prisoners that it is said the law
breaking element has actually been
shamed into decency. Humanitarian
ism has long been known as a power
full deterrent of crime, but it has taken
the world a long time to put it into
practice With our detention homes,
farms for drunkards and mlsdemean-
or prisoners libraries, brass bands and
banquets for penitentiary unfortunates,
it must be said "the world do move"
The experiment in Los Angeles will
attract wide attention, not simply be-
cause that city has shouldered a great
and beneficent undertaking, but be-
cause it has a reputation abroad for
completing its beginnings. 1t started
out for example. to build a great city,

A comprehensive idea of the admir-
able work that is being accomplished
by the University of California's farm
is furnished in bulletin, announcing
the special short courses to be given
for the instruction of farmers this fall.
The university farm, which was
founded by an act of the legislature
five years ago. is situated on TS0 acres
of fine valley land near Davis, in Yolo
county.
Fifty acres of the farm are already
devoted to experimental work in field
crops, covering experimentation in
twenty-slx types of alfalfa, $50 va
rieties of wheat 100 varieties of barley.
fifty varieties of oats and types OF
peas, sorehums, Kaffir and Indian
corn, beside paintings of hemp and
sugar and stock beets.
A hundred and sixty-four acres are
now under irrigation, and instructive
experimental work in irrigation is be-
ing conducted by the United states de-
partment of agriculture on specially
allotted plot of twenty-five acres.

TROUBLE AHEAD

When gentle woman goes to vote
They say the time is coming
AS certain as that cork will float
Or as a bill for plumbing.
She'll always vote her ticket straight
And never never scratch II;
For that would spoil it, sure as fate
She'd feel she'd have to patch 1t.
Her gloves will have to match her hat.
Her gown be tailor fitted,
And of the latest mode at that.
Twill have to be admitted
That when fair woman goes to choose
And cast the ballot cunning,
From picture hat to dainty shoes
That voter VIII be stunning.
But should the tailor fail to send
The new gown as directed,
The charming dame will never lend
Her aid to the elected
What use is woman suffrage, pray,
with which the age is humming,
If gowns upon election day
Are old or unbecoming?

Experience in California and other
states shows the need of doing away
with the present burdensome require
ment of petitioning to enable a candi-
date for a party nomination to get his
name upon the primary ballot.
The object of this requirement is to
prevent the loading of the ballot with
a multitude of candidates. But petit
tioning involves a burden of expense
and trouble and it's object is better at
tanned by dispensing with petitions and
requiring merely the filing of bond.
Such a bond calls for the payment OF
a stipulated sum in case the candidate
shall fail to obtain certain proportion
of the votes cast. This is sufficient to
prevent irresponsible persons from get
ting their names on the ticket
Petitions should also be done away
with in the case of independent candi-
dates having no party nomination and
seeking a place on the election bal
lot.
1t is not good public policy to make
candidacy for office expensive and
troublesome. This tends to shut out
honest men of small means. and plays

TWO-DECK TROLLEYS

TTENTION is called by the San
a Francisco Chronicle to matter
IA on which American travellers
abroad have sometimes pondered 1t
says:
In England and on the continent
the cars on city tramways are pro-
vided with upper decks, and in some
places the rate of fare on top is only
half as much as inside That is the
case in Liverpool. 1t is a curious fact
that in American cities the eXpedient
of an upper deck to relieve congestion
has never been taken advantage of by
the city railway companies
1t is not hard to understand why the
English stick to one type of ear, for
the Englishman is conservative even
to stubbornness in the face of con-
elusive argument but it is character
istically American to adopt improve
ments. 1t may be that tine adoption
OF doubIe-deck cars would necessitate
the Encouragement of overhead wires
at much cost, or that the average
American climate is not adapted to
the exposed upper deck in winter; but
in the latter respect the climate of
southern California is better adapted
to the English type of car than that
of England.
1t would seem that in this region at
least the facilities of the companies
could be practically doubled with
nothing like a double investment, with
all the advantages to the public that
are apparent, as, for example, the re-
lief from strap-hanging in hours of
congestion. The upper deck need not
call for half fare. 1t is, in fact, pleas
anter on the top of the European cars
than inside and more popular with
large share of the public.

as matter of duty and at a personal
sacrifice to themselves, and at the
same time requiring them to assume
the attitude of supplicants for sigma
lures to a petition,\ in order that they
may get their names on either the
primary or the election ballot.
The principle of the direct primary
is not involved in the objection to
needless petitioning. Nor is it to the
discredit of the direct primary idea
that in Pennsylvania and other states
certain candidates have spent large
sums of money in campaigning for
party nominations at primaries. The
law should not only forbid more than
a reasonable and proper stipulated out
lay but also provide such severe pen
alties for violation as to prevent any
thing of the kind.

company would be $4,000 richer each
voyage by the substitution of oil for
coal
The Cunard Steamship company is
noted for its conservatism, but with
such showing, even If heavily dis
counted, 1t is probable that its next
new liner will be equipped for oil
burning.
In substituting oil for coal the United
States navy department has made
haste slowly, but the experiments made
have been so satisfactory that there is
little doubt that eventually coal will be
discarded. The battleship Delaware is
fitted to carry an auxiliary supply of
400 tons of OIL This Increases her
steaming capacity, without taking on
fresh fuel, at least 1000 miles, and she
can take on oil at the rate of 240 tons
an hour.
With such demonstrations and with
the constantly increasing use of oil by
railroads. California need have no fear
of any danger of overproduction. The
accumulation of the present surplus is
providing the necessary guarantee that
the supply will be perpetual, and is
thus removing the main objection of
railroad and steamship companies to
changing their equipment to oil
burners.
