One Man Who Discovered That War
Was Not Wholly Bad.

nagging and demonstrating of his
shrewish wife could drive him to work
Lem led the lazy life of Rip Van
Wrinkle until the outbreak of the civil
war. and then he Joined the Confed
crate army At the end of six months
Lem was shot through the right thigh,
and IL was long before he was able to
limp out of the hospital and back to
his regiment In the second year he
was shot In the left shoulder. and when
he returned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by a shortened tendon.
but he was still able to raise his rifle
Early In the fourth year they got him
again-a musket ball through the body
but he was back In the ranks long
before the lighting was ended. Every
one wondered at Lens persistence in
sticking to the terrible trade of war.

the street In Greenville one morning

his latest wound, his right leg short

"Waal." Lem admitted without en-

The tuberculosis Hospital.

The Cleveland Press calls attention
TO some little halt in the affairs of the
tuberculosis hospital at Mt. Vernon.
This institution was opened last No
vember, and today we are told there
are 4S patients and 80 employees. This
condition of affairs is explained by the
fact that there is about S33, 900 to be
expended for equipment and there is
some controversy over who should
spend 1.-THE commission or the trus-
tees. There is some politics hanging
to this matter and politics usually
make slow business.
But there is the problem-something
like million dollars spent up there
and only 4s patients 1t is not likely
that public opinion is so clear concern
ing this immense enterprise that it
can compose itself serenely while it
staggers along in this shape. If it is
so that great public investment has
only 48 patients eight months after 1t
is opened, who Is to blame? Is this
great white plague so slight a monster
that is can be pestered in this wayP
1t is question for some high public
to decide, and that right
soon. If our contemporary tells the
naked truth, and we take it he does,
there is some miserable public service
going on.-Ohio State Journal.

JOHNSON MAKES LAST
TALK IN HIS CAMPAIGN
Leagues Candidate Flags S. P.
in Address to 5000 People
at Ocean Park

OCEAN PARK, Aug. 6.-Five thou
sand people gathered on the plaza here
tonight heard Hiram w. Johnson make
the last speech of his whirlwind cam
paign for governor in Southern Calitor-
mia, Five thousand voices cheered
Johnson when he hayed the Southern
Pacific and it's political managers, Will
liam F. Herrin and Walter Parker, and
declared he will be the next governor
of California, with the fixed purpose of
freeing the state from the grasp of the
machine. Clearly outlining the prln-
ciples of the crusade of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league against corruption In
state politics, Johnson held the close at
tention of his hearers for half hour,
and to all appearances stirred up feel
ing of resentment in Ocean Park
against the special interests, and this
sentiment undoubtedly will cut deep
into the strength of the regular Repub-
licans.
Johnston explained in graphic detail
the activities of the Southern Pacific
in California governmental attalrs ana
declared that the time has come when
the corruption must be forced to keep
its dirty hands out of California poll
tics or be kicked out" He spoke of the
goods roads, -prune-lemon' policies of
his leading opponent for the nomination
for governor at the primary election
and attempted to show that the
leagues policy is to rid the state of all
obligation to serve the Southern Pacific
and it's interests at the expense of the
people.
Other candidates who addressed the
big crowd were William d. Stephens,
for congress, who promised not to vote
for Cannon for speaker; A. j, Wallace,
for lieutenant governor, who pro-
nounced Johnson the Roosevelt of
CALIFORNIA;" John D. Works, for United
States senator, and Lee c. Gates, for
state senator.
Mayor Alexander of Los Angeles was
q. member of the party, but made no
address. The Johnson veteran fife and
drum corps, coming here in a special
car furnished martial music which
stirred the crowd to a high pitch of
feeling.

MERCHANT IS SPURN
NJ ARTNEYS PLEA
Senator Who Drafted Pure Food
Law Fails to Gain Los
Angeles Aid
INJURY is DONE TO BUSINESS
Manufacturers Recall That Can
didate'S Activity Was for
Benefit of Exporters

A number of prominent manufactur-
ers are waging a strenuous campaign
to prevent the nomination of II. S. G.,
Mccartney, state senator, state tax
commissioner and deputy district attor-
ney, who is a candidate for reelection
to the senate from the thirty-eighth
district.
The local manufacturers are making
their fight against Mccartney because
of the fact that he drafted and caused
the enactment of the states so-called
pure food law, which, it is claimed,
grossly discriminates against the local
manufacturer in favor of the foreign
manufacturer.
Besides drafting and pushing this
law through the last Legislature, Nc
Cartney fell into a fat job, at a con-
siderable salary, enforcing it in Los
Angeles county. District Attorney
F'redericks appointed him a deputy for
this purpose, but McCartney's at
tempts to interpret the bunglesome
statute which he claims he drafted,
and it's conflicting provisions, which
have worked a severe hardship on To-
brought him into disrepute with the
men who formerly helped to elect him,
and now they are out boosting for Nc
Cartneys opponents.
One of the most prominent manufac-
turers in Los Angeles, who asked that
his name be not made public because
he feared that Mccartney would "have
it in for him" and ruin his business
by enforcing his pure food law to
io+f
1.-THE so-called pure food law which
Senator Alphabet Mccartney proudly
boasts that he is the author of, and
which he relies upon to win the Re-
publican vote of his district at the
coming primary election, has been sub
jected to very severe criticism by our
manufacturers and merchants, who are
endeavoring to build up a trade with
the countries of the far east.
"Then point out that they are be-
ing done a great wrong, and their
business suffers by unfair competition
with rotten foodstuffs that are put UP
and sold to foreign trade by dishonest
concerns who gleefully claim that the
law was made for their special pro-
lection. For instance, in the opening
section of the pure food law drafted
by the senator from the thirty-eighth
senatorial district there occurs this
ney put in there evidently to protect
some one in the buzzard food busi-
ness Provided, that no article of
food shall be deemed adulterated, mis-
labeled or msbranded within the pro-
visions of this act when prepared for
export beyond the jurisdiction of the
United States.
1.-THE farmers of the middle west
used to sell their dead cholera hogs
to the soap concerns to be transformed
into perfumed soaps. but under the
pure food law drafted by Mccartney
it is now made legitimate to prepare
this class of swine flesh with wormy
beans, put it up in cans bearing in
artistic designs on the wrappers the
legend, Choice pork and beans for the
foreign trade, prepared and put up un-
der the strict provisions of the pure
food laws of the state of California,
guaranteed under said act to be first
class in every respect Evidently the
old adage is true that the law cloaks
many crimes"

STANTON'S CLAIM
OF AID IS DENIED
Record on Consolidation Question
Is Questioned by His
Opponents
ATTENTION DRAWN TO RECORD
JohnSon'S Statement as to His
and EIIery'S Candidacy
Is Discussed

The statement of Hiram w. john
son, Lincoln Roosevelt league Candi-
date for governor, in his speech in
Simpson auditorium Friday night,
that Phil A. Stanton and Nathan Ell
lery, the Republican maihine candi
dates running against him, are "out
of the race" and that they will not
poll enough votes north of the Te-
hachapi to be worth counting, elected
considerable comment in political
circles yesterday, but the Stanton
boosters refused to discuss it.
There is no doubt that the consensus
of opinion among men who have kept
a close eye on the political situation,
Is that Stanton and Ellery are merely
in the contest to help Curry denounce
Johnson, for all their efforts, as Mr..
Johnson has said, have been eXerted in
that direction. They have persistent
ly ignored the issue and set up 'straw
men," as charged by Johnson, at which
they have directed their oratorical eff
fusions, utterly ignoring the great
battle of the people against the corrupt
Southern Pacific machine.
sTANTON's CLAIM
It must be remembered, however,
that Stanton is making one claim cal
culated to win him q few votes among
those who are not familiar with the
details of the memorable fight for the
consolidation of the harbor towns
with Los Angeles. This claim is that
he was largely Instrumental in Sc
curing the adoption of the consolida-
tion bill.
Speaking of this phase of Stanton's
press agentry, a prominent worker in
the Good Government organization
said yesterday:
HAS anybody remembered that
Arthur c. Harper went to Sacramento
during the height of the agitation
which resulted in his recall, and that
he made show of boosting the bill for
the consolidation of the harbor towns
with Los Angeles?
SPEAKER INACTIVE
"On the day of Harper's appear
ance in the capital city Speaker STAN
ton admitted that up to that hour he
had done nothing to advance the pro
posed consolidation act. A careful
canvass of the members of the senate
resulted in the information that not
one of them had been approached by
Stanton in the matter.
"As a matter of fact, Stanton did
nothing in behalf of consolidation
until he found that several citizens,
representing civic organizations, had
undertaken the work which the MEM
bers of the Los Angeles delegation
in the assembly had sadly neglected.
He even went so far as to send word
to one of these that until the latter re-
turned to this city he (Stanton) would
take no step looking to the success of
the measure.
"Stanton did work, finally for con-
solidation, but it would appear that
he did not do SO until practically
forced into the fight by the activities
of private citizens. He evidently did
not believe there was glory enough
in the fight to go around. He wanted
it ALL"
And this expresses it. Stanton is
not likely to deceive anybody by his
pretensions in this direction-especial-
lv the people of San Pedro and Wilm-
ington, the two towns most effected,
who kept a close tab on Mr. Stanton
and his colleagues in the last legisla-
ture

he get it? Mcdonald testified in sup
Elementary proceedings recently that
all the cash he possessed in the world
was SLIP.
These are the two men-Enoch Hid
den and Henry Naturalization the
decent Democrats of Los Angeles are
called on to defeat, and their defeat
will be impossible, with all the efforts
of the machine being eXerted in their
interest, if the fullest possible Demo-
cratic vote is not forthcoming at the
pending primaries. Any considerable
stay-at home vote is certain to result
in the nominating of two machine men.
If nominated, the machine will con-
slider the battle more than half won
and it will resort to every possible
trick and artifice to bring about their
election. Should Edridge be defeated
at the primaries and Hidden nomi-
mated, the machine Republicans and
''push" Democrats will unite in a tre-
mendous effort to elect Hidden.
1t will readily be seen, therefore, that
the Democratic primary election Au-
gust 16 is vitally important for more
than one reason, and it Is earnestly
to be hoped that the Democrats realize
this and attend to their duties in the
interest of cleaner politics and better
government, by voting to nominate the
Good Government Democrats indorsed
at the Long Beach conference.
