FRIGHTENED

The secretary of war is fearful
lest Japan or China may land 2OO,-
600 soldiers on the Pacific coast
and capture the great American
continent. He asks for standing
army of 100000 men and millions
of dollars coast defence.
1t might be good plan to send
an ambassador to the orient and
make treaty of peace with the
little brown men. This would not
cost much and would allay all
fears. So far as heard from the
Japs have no cause or desire to
make war on the United States.
Wednesday Andrew Carnegie
put up 100000 in five per cent
bonds, to hasten the abolition of
international war and establish a
lasting world peace. We hope the
government will cooperate with
Mr.. Carnegie in this comrhends-
BILE movement.

RAPID PROGRESS

The cement foundation for the
new Oliphant block has been CON-
pleted j. f. Carmichael, who
has the contract for the stone work

has commenced cutting.
The Oregon pine timber Is on

from Pueblo is being unloaded and
common brick are being piled

plenty of sand on hand for mortar
and plaster.
Thus far the weather has been
ideal since ground was broken for
the foundation. During few
cold nights, fire has been kept in
the cellar in order 10 prevent freez-

Unless il turns cold, the walls will

value of the products of her soil is
$5OO,0OO,OOO. California, to make
the comparison more plain, has an
assessment five times as great a.
that of her rival state. Both states
assess on 60 per cent basis.
Such is the bid California makes
for Americas jubilee in 1915 at
the completion of the Panama
Canal. California will pay her
own bills, and be ready to enter
tain the world in way that will be
credit to the whole nation. Cali
fornia does not ask one cent of aid
from the government.
What has Louisiana to offset
this? Against S47,OOO,OOO of Cali
fornia's public and private money
pledged to the exposition and to
improvements in anticipation of
the canal opening, the southern
state and city have provided
S6,50O,OOO in state bonds and some.
what ever 81, 100000 in subscrip-
tions. Until short time ago
Louisiana stated that she would
ask loan of IS, 100000 or 80, OOO,-
600 from the government in order
to make the exposition as msgnifi-
cent as it should be. Lately she
not made that statement. Can she
give a creditable exposition on
100000?

CALIFORNIA EXPOSITION


California has appropriated
SAT 100000 to finance and to pre-
pare for the Panama Pacific In
ternaticnal Exposition in 1915.
The people of the state have given
SIT, 100000 to build the exposition
itself, and ON Nov. 8 they authoriz-
ed, with tremendous majority of
votes, the issuance of S1S,O0O,OOO
in highway bonds that California
in 1915 may be good to look upon
when the exposition visitors crowd
toward the Golden Gate. At the
same time Sill 100000 in bonds was
voted to make sure that the harbors
Of San Francisco and San Diego
are in condition by 1915 to handle
the increased shipping that must
result from the opening of the
Panama Canal. Altogether Sat-
100000 has been provided for i'm
provements and the glory of the
world show.
California is making ready for
1915.
The sum of SIT 100000 provided
for the exposition is the largest
ever gathered by any state for any
exposition anywhere. The sum
of SIS, 100000 in bonds voted for a
system of State highways assures
the greatest project of its kind ever
attempted west of New York,
which is east of nearly all the
United States. Then Sl0,OOOOOO
for San Francisco's harbor and
81 100000 for San Diego's is an
evidence that Californians will be
ready to take their part in Americas
effort to gain the commercial sup
remacy of the Pacific when Uncle
Sam opens the locks at Panama.
Rich and liberal California has
shown her faith in the canal and
her own future.
From the northern line of the
Golden State to the Mexican
boundary is 500 miles. and by 1915
over this sweep of mountains and
valley and plain system of high.
ways, broad, well kept, well paved,
will give easy access to every
beauty and richness in the state.
These thoroughfares will furnish
a new attraction, by making the
natural wonders of California we'll
within reach of the motor car
tourists.
1t must be rich and fruitful
state that can do these things.
San Francisco since 1906 has spent
more than S3OO,0OO,OOO in recon-
struction, yet her citize,s in priv
ate subscription raised q, 100000,
for their exposition. The city of
San Francisco is constructing her
own water supply system, building
her own fire protection plant, put
ting in municipal railway, re-
storing her public buildings, and
yet the municipality voted 5000.
600 for thefair The stateexposition
tax of s. 100000 will not be felt by

Indiana Democratic Orators
Reply to Roosevelt.

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct 12.-The Demo

ringing the changes on the new national
ism Of former President Roosevelt, and
the leaders believe that he has given
the party an issue that will make thous-
ands OF votes among the business ele-
ment.
John w. Kern. candidate for Senator
and Gov Marshall are devotins nearly
all their speeches To the idea, and con-
denim il unreservedly. In his speech at
Huntington the governor denounced with
more than ordinary vigor what is called
the new nationalism."
Were our fathers mistaken" he
asked. Were they right In declaring
all men are created equal. aud they have
inalienable rights TO life. liberty. and
the pursuit OF happiness?"
Gov. Marshall answered by saying that
majorities. the courts. or any other pow
ers have no right to seek TO tase away
any OF the unalienable rights OF man
guaranteed by the principles OF our gov
eminent.
Knowing what the usurpation OF exec
tives meant. and the dangers of the
pride and ambition of Individual men, ="
the governor said, the authors OF the
Constitution. in laying the founda-
tons OF government, gave away just as
little power as possible and instituted a
system of checks and balances in the
executive. legislative, and judicial
branches Of our government"

with the old and wise principles on which
the government was founded.
