DRY PROSPERITY

decided victory for the "drys." The
" reason was strictly business. H
D. Brodie, city clerk, says after two
years of no saloons" the city finances
are in better condition than at any
time during the twelve years he has
been city clerk. There is about $4,000
in the general fund over and above all
foreseen expenses, and during two
years of mo saloons" bonded indebted
ness has been reduced, the wharf has
been repaired, the streets have been
cleaned, the fire department has been
improved and an increased salary list
has been established.
So all Oceanside official as well rs
non-oftical, shared in the big prosper
ity which has resulted from the elm
ination Of an economic error from the
social system
The business men Of the community
realize the benefits they have derived
from the elimination Of the error. and
we are told NO representative business
man of the city favors a return to
the saloon policy, chat is 10 say, to
the penny wise, pound foolish policy

JEFFERSONIAN
SIMPLICITY

r EFFERSON DAY celebrations and
banquets should serve as a timely
- reminder of the close association
of Jeffersonian principles with the first
principles of Americanism. All Ameri-
cans should be Jeffersonian enough to
subscribe to the immortal doctrine of
the essential equality of all men before
their Creator. AS a rough and ready
western miner once said: THE AL
mighty doesn't play favorites. Maybe
you think he's got his bright particu-
lars, but you'll find this is just because
human beings themselves are so dog
gone ornery they help a fellow human
being to think he's something extry
when he's just a mere man, after all"
Americans have heard such a din
about great" achievements and Co
lossal" fortunes they are inclined some
times to forget the essential simplicity
of the grand republic. The old self
evident Jeffersonian truths still are
self-evident, and being in plain evil
dece should never be forgotten: All
men are created equal. They are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights. Among these un-
aienable rights are LIFE, LIBERTY
AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPI-
NESS,

BISHOP KEANE SPEAKS
BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE
Noted Catholic PreIate Answers
Questions of Auditors

The Mason opera house from stage to top
most gallery was crowded with an interested
audience last evening for the third of the serie:
of lectures being given by Rt. Rev. Bishor
John ]. Keane, under the auspices of the Los
Angeles knights OF Columbus.
Bishop Keane answered questions placed in
the question box Of the foyer of the theater
preceding his lecture. ''Why nuns not al
lowed their liberty" "Why nuns shave theiI
heads" and the Meaning of the underground
passages" and 'if Jonah was really swallowed
by the whale were among the questions &c
which Bishop Keane gave answers. The num-
Der of years since the creation of man, one OF
the questions asked. the bishop frankly con-
fessed that he did not know.
Bishop Keane took for the theme of his lee
ture THE Worth of Faith in Christ" and
pointed out the Catholic doctrines regarding

The destiny Of this city is plain, and
the road to it is marked out. So OBJ

Angeles need never halt between two
opinions as TO the way in which they
should go. In the matter of the bonds,
there is not the slightest need for hesi-
tation. The success Of the $500, 900
power bonds and the $4,000. 900 harbor
bonds is absolutely essential to the
continued growth and prosperity Of

dividual to the interest of the social

of his own individuality"
That the creation of adequate har-
bor facilities will be accomplished as
a first work, and without unreasonable
delay, is beyond rational doubt. There
are other features in the upbuilding
that may wait time and opportunity.
How much 1t may be necessary to do
can hardly now be conceived. That
there is profit in making harbors the
freest from burdens and taxation has
been abundantly demonstrated by the
experiences of other commercial cen=
ters. The greatness of a commercial
and industrial center depends much
upon the character of the government
the people install and maintain. A
narrow-minded, weak. expensive or dis
honest government ever interposes OBJ
stacles to rapid progress, and is likely
to dwarf the structure for all time. If
the government is partisan or ma
chine and boss ruled, designing and
favored men and corporations will fat
ten at the public expense, and they
will busy themselves in acquiring what
will cause a feeble and retarded
growth. Taxation must be limited ia
what is necessary In rendering gov
ernment efficient, and in making inn
proVements that will add to public con-
venienee Peace and order of the high
est standard must be maintained, all
laws effectively enforced, and every
effort made TO place business manage
ment and social affairs on a high plane
Men who would promote the great
ness of the city should coalesce and
remain coalesced to the end in fight
ing derogatory policies and schemes
in requiring of government protection
and justice to all. 1t would be an
unmitigated crime to waste the splen-
did advantage this city possesses
through the favor of nature, and the
good work done by earnest and public
spirited men, upon a class of greedy
unprincipled and corrupt parasites on
the public.

With Henry Scott Graves. now for

reflected prominence until a few days

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot and his now MIS-
toric fight against Secretary OF the In
terror Richard Ballinger, that the gen.
eral public heard very little OF the first
assistant chief of the forestry bureau,
although he is an unusually capable
man and occupied the chair of fores-
try at Yale university in addition to
his government position.
But Mr.. Pinchot stepped down and
out and Mr.. Graves succeeded him ana
began to run the forestry bureau
after his own ideas; so although ne
has scarcely been in his new position
long enough to be known by all of
his subordinates, he has made them
"sit up and take notice" because he
is showing himself entirely in accord
with the Pinchot theory of conserva-

plays no desire to burn alive those
who disagree with him on a matter of

Henry Scott Graves is thirty mine
years old. Although born in Marietta,
Ohio, he was brought up in Andover,
Mass, so New England claims him. He
studied at Yale and Harvard, then
went abroad to be taught in the Ger

forest still long enough to drop Gallo

spent so many of their school days to-
