A BLESSED WORD

The magical word program saved the occasion.
At It's haowed sound the audience rose and cheered
the sage and then submitted in patience to the
catalogue of the countrys infrmities.
One recalls the preacher who had delivered his
common JUNCTION and after the services lady from
the congregation waited him in his study and
offered congratulations
4 want to thank you, doctor, for that beautiful
sermon, she began.
"You are very@kind, dear lady" replied the minis
ter, "and may I ask what there was in the sermon
that xlterested you much?" he asked, fishing for
more praise.
'Ah, doctor, dear, she explained, raising her eyes
to heaven, "it was that blessed word Mesopo-
tan1ia.
That blessed word program" saved the day for
the poet and sage.
PRoMULGATING MUSICAL BOMBSHELL
Not less extraordinary was the resounding climax
arrived at by Chairman Dewitt of the democratic
committee, who concluded crushing rejoinder to
his hated contemporaries of the republican commit
tee in this wise:
"It is the swan song promulgated as an eleventh
hour bomb by which it is intended to turn the
victory for Mr.. Johnson.
The man who was caught promulgatng song
disguised as a bomb might very well blow up.
During the, campaign I found this astonishing
statement in San Bernardino Sun editorial:

California would vote for Lawlor That may be

NEW KINDS OF POLICE

They will have to come to it. The creation of
varieties of police to offset the increasing
ingenuity of rogues is important phase of
modern evolution. The bankers have organized
highly paid bureau of detection to protect their
special interests. The federal government has
dozen kinds of secret service men and women for
protection against the endless tribes of swindlers,
snugglers confidence men and counterfeiters. The
doctors have organized active body for profes
sional protection with Phil Jones for chief of

Lindeys bibelot will represent nothing more i'm

has arrived in Emeryville to instruct the book

AS TO sPALDING AND WORKS
An old Californian residing in Nevada writes
to inquire how it came that the voters chose A. G..
Spalding for senator in preference to Judge Works
or Meserve, and he says:
As former Californian interested and
delighted in the present political situation in that
state, I much desire a candid statement from
in your independent review of men and things" in
The Sunday Call, concerning the popular vote for
United States senator in the recent primary cleo
ton. have tried keep in touch with California
politics by being constant reader of The Daily
Call, but I confess when read of Mr.. Spaldings
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-13
MIXED MOTIVES

1t is never an easy matter TO estimate the multi
farous motives and considerations that lie behind
the action of an electoral body comprising all sorts
and conditions of men, but | will try. At the start
find that Spalding was opposed by two men,
neither being of the sort to name the imagination
or stir the popular heart Meserves candidacy was
always negligible because of his affiliations, real or
supposed with the Southern Pacific political bureau
The other candidate was John d. Works. He was
the choice of a powerful and compact organization
but he utterly failed to poll the strength OF his
ticket Why?
In the first place Judge Works did not favorably
impress the voters when he appeared on the stump.
In fact it was said that the Lipcoln-Roosevelt
eaguers withdrew him after few appearances
because he acted as a wet blanket the enthu-
siasm I don't knSsv this, and it may not be true
but it is certain that Works was not vote getter.
People who did not like Judge Works objected
to him because he had adversely criticised Roose-
welt in print Others found fault because he
appeared to be bitter radical, and he undoubtedly
lost votes because he was on record as in favor
of dividing the state. AT least of his decisions
while on the supreme court bench of this state has
been severely criticised.
Ny correspondent is mistaken in supposng that
Spalding is unknown to 90 per cent of the people
of California In fact, | think it is the other way
about, and it is quite certain that he is known by
reputation to more voters than Judge Works. My
acquaintance with Spaldng is not extensive, but
he impressed me as very genuine personality. He
is known everywhere as good sport and square
man. Probably my correspondent never reads the
sporting page Neither do I, but newspapermen
will tell him that this extraordinary form of lera
ture is more read by the public than any other
part of the paper
AS for Spaldings lack of political experience,
may be forgiven for saying that possibly the voters
believed that the less he had of this the better for
everybody concerned. What is this political expe-
rience? A week in Washington will give Spalding

I in print how the poet and sage

It was on a field night in
Dreamland when Doctor Taylor was set up to
expound his diagnosis of the ills that do afaict the
body polite whose genesis and long descended
pedigree he laid at the door OF the republicans and
sinners the terms being synonymous in his lexicon
"The country he announced holding his finger on
the pulse Of the patient has been made desperately
i'll by the nostrums of the republican party. Next
he proceeded to prescribe What the country
needs, he declared, 's radical measures along CON
servative lines'-castor oil in a spoonful of jam.
If this was confusing it was likewise comforting,
but It was not what the audience wanted at all.
IMPATIENT FOR THE FIGHT
The truth is that the democracy .smelled fight in

the dusty corridors OF time and creeping with petty
pace from day to day. as it seemed with the purpose
to compass the last syllable of recorded time-why
then this fierce and turbulent democracy rebelled.
Some graceless vice president behind the speaker
pulled a stroke upon the prize fight gong 1t was
gross indigny even if we consider the provocation
and indeed I suspect the bell sounded by some
republican consprator who hoped to conceal dis
graceful past from imminent exposure.
A DEAD GAME SPORT
It did not avail The doctor was dead game and
would not take the count. Then they started up
the band, playing See the Conquering Hero Come,
or some other form of campaign noise, but the sage
merely sat down and waited until the band blew up.
Then marching to the front once more, with every
several hair upon his brow bristng defiance in an
angry fuzz like quis upon the fretful porcuPine, he
delivered his ultimatum to wit:
This program will be carried out. When [ am

What sort of legal ethics is it that permits a
corporation lawyer to advise his clients how they
may break the laws with inpunity? It seems as
