A lady will 60 to theater and take
of her hat as a matter of politeness,
but the same politeness does not pre-
vail when she goes to church. Why?
II the lady is not polite enough to
remove her hat at the theater the lady
behind her takes great pleasure in
reminding her Of the polite thing to
do. But in church it would be very
impolite to ask the front lady to do
the polite thing. Managers Of theaters
know that people will not attend their
playhouses unless they can see the
stage and the actors. Preachers do
not seem to know that, or to care.
Hence SO many empty benches at the
churches.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE,

Figures prepared by an actuary
shows that a man with a monthly
salary of $100 to-day is getting only
what he got out Of life at $4,000 a
month twelve years ago. The neces.
saries of life are per cent. higher
than they were in 1907 and IS per
cent. higher than they were in 1896
The greatest increase in prices have
been made on the actual necessaries
of life, such as wheat, corn, beeves
hogs, lard, butter, eggs, cheese, rice,
peas, mackerel, coffee, sugar, cotton
and rubber. The beneficiary of these
high prices has been the farmer who
was wise enough to have such things
at home rather than depend on pro-
ducing and selling one crop with
which to purchase other necessities

DAVID BELAsCO'S 1.-THE GIRL
OF THE GOLDEN WEST

"The Girl Of the Golden West" is q
four act drama of California in the
days of 40, written, staged and pre-
sented by David Belasco's own com.
pany, comes to the Auditorium on Jan.
uary 18th.
Nothing that Mr.. Belasco has done
has more clearly shown his right to
pre-eminence as playwright and pro.
ducer than this same "Girl of the
Golden West" The days of 40 on the
Pacific Coast, with the motley types
which added so much to the color EN-.
blazoning this phase of United States
history, offered fruitful field for cul.

fully fold him to their breast and
tuck him away to sober up, and the
police walk the other way, rather than
to "humiliate his family"
Public sentiment such as that
breaks down the Law; and when Law
is trampled under foot, no mans life
is safe. The Judge not only places
the blame where it belongs. but he
suggests the one and only remedy.
The blame is with the people; the
fault is in public sentiment; the rem
edy is for grand juries to do their
full duty, and by impartial law en-
forcement teach the people more re-
spect for Law and more general obed-
ience of it.

PREPARED FOR SURVEY
According to Attorneys Frank Dunno
and w. H. II. Hart, who represent the
land owners In the controversy, the
board OF supervisors, after an appeal
made to them last April, appropriated
500 for the surveying of the. right or
way over the Southern Pacific tracks
at Cutting boulevard.
The supervisors, short time AFTER
ward, ordered the right of way opened.
The Southern Pacific company fought
the order and said that only subway
or viaduct would be allowed across the
tracks at this point. The railroad said
that a subway had been built at Mac
donald avenue, the only road from Ala
media county into Richmond, and de-
clared that this must be used.
The matter was taken to the courts
nearly a year ago, but demurrer after
demurrer blocked the local capitalists.
At meeting of the Richmond Indus
trial commission last Friday night sum-
mary action was decided upon and plans
outlined for the movement which was
successful today.
According to Cutting, whose hold
ings in the vicinity of Richmond are
large, the thoroughfare is the only di-
rect line OF communication between the
cities OF Alameda county and Richmond.
At the present time. he said. the Mac
donald avenue subway only Is used.
This is a roundabout way, he asserted,
and could not be relied upon for the
hauling OF freight. as the subway was
too steep. Cutting Boulevard. he de-
clared, Is q magnificent thoroughfare,

JOHNSON LIKE CATO
FIGHTS PLUNDERBUND
By w. R. ELLIS

Ruef. Herrin and Calhoun. and the
reactionaries in California and
throughout the United States would
eloat over his failure, claiming
victory, not for the democratic
party, but victory for the political
bureau of the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
II would amount to a manifesto
to all parties that the rule OF the
plunderbund was supreme, and tnat
no political party in this country
dare attempt to fiaunt the power OIL
the political boss.
can any democrat who sincerely
believes in Jeffersonian democracy
lend the sanction OF his vote in this
struggle to the forces that are
seeking to make permanent In this
country government by the inter
ests" and for the Interests?
Do you fancy that the issue which
Johnson emphasizes in this conflict
is bogus-that he is merely wind
tammings' to catch votes - that, In
fact, the government OF California
is not dominated by the political
bureau of the Southern Pacific COM
pany so grievously as Johnson rep
resents?
Is ii not enough to point you to
the fact that every known hench-
man of the gangsters that has al
ways taken orders from the big
Southern Pacific boss and the kept
newspapers of the interests are
out hammer and tongs against
Johnson?
The fight from this quarter
against Johnson is as real as brick
bats and stinkpots can make it.
Are you not, therefore. logically
compelled to admit that 1.-The issue
is as genuine as the opposition real
and desperate?
In the last days of the Roman
republic Cato stands out on the
pages of history as the 'noblest Ro-
man of them ALL" Amid the profit
gacy and corruption of the day he
steadfastly refused TO accept the
senatorial toga at the price of his
self-respect or in violation of those
principles upon which he felt the
perpetuity of the republic rested.
Others might compromise and nego-
tiate with a corrupt electorate; 9TH
ers might plead, as they did, with
him to disregard his scruples and to
pay the price which Roman corrup-
tion demanded of all who sought po-
litical preferment. But with Cato
office was a sacred trust. He held
that he alone was worthy of that
trust who sought ii for the sake Of
the service he might render the
state He who corrupted the cleo
torate of Rome, declared Cato. was
the republics arch enemy, contriv-
ing to make a wreck of Rome's an
cient liberties.
From Catos day to this no truer,
braver defender of free state than
Hiram W. Johnson has ever fought
a nobler single handed fight for a
great principle.
With the determination of Cato
he has proclaimed the faith that is
in him.
Holding steadily aloft the cause
for which he fights. he has coz sist-
entity refused to dishonor that cause
by bidding for the votes of the enc
mics of that cause.
Mr.. Loyal American Citizen. whetf-
er you call yourself democrat or re-
publican, or what not, Johnson's
fight is your fight In him your
ideals will triumph November 8. In
him California will realize her SOW
ereignty. and in him this empire of
the west win find the beginning of
a new and glorious political destiny.
