Last Moment to Qualify
as Voters

of registration for the November cleo
tion last night at midnight at the office
of the registrar. The total registration
will be in excess of $4,000. according to
the statement of E. C. Harrington. reg
istrar Of voters.
The registration closed Tuesday at
midnight with 1883. The registration
yesterday was much heavier than any
other day since the opening of the ofice
and the belief of the clerks is that more
than $500 voters were enrolled.
The last day on which transfers OF
residence can be made is October S.
The elector must be in his new home by
October If he wants to cast his vote in
the precinct into which he has moved.
Compared with two years ago. when
a new registration was secured, this
year is but a few hundreds to the good.
In 1908 the registration was 1880.
Indications at late hour last night
were that this figure would be beaten
this year by several hundred. The total
registration in 1909 was 9O.790. but this

PINCHOT'S Speech
RESENTED BY BELL
Democrat Objects to Statement
That His Election Would
Be National Calamity
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


RIVERSIDE. Sept. 2s.-Theodore A.
Bell, in his campaign for governor on
the democratic ticket. assailed Clifford
Pinchot and Congressman S. c. Smith
tonight at a meeting which taxed the
capacity of the Women's clubhouse.
the election of Bell would be a national
calamity and he resented the. statement
of the congressman that it would be a
detriment to the state to elect a demo-
cratic governor. Bell said:
1 see that Mr.. Pinchot has stated
that my election would be a ma
tional calamity and that the only
chance for the safety of the nation
lies in the election of my opponent,
Mr.. Johnson, as. governor of Cali
\ fornia.
This is the first time that con-
sidered myself of national import
ance sufficient to be a national
peril and I am fattered to be given
such prominence. but I ask Mr..
Pinchot what right he has to claim
that he and his friends are the only
honest men In the country and the
only men capable of giving the
people an honest government.
ATTACK ON SMITH
Office in this district spoke in
Corona last night and said it would
never do for a democrat to be
elected governor of this state at
this time. 1t I'll becomes a small
politician to come to you and talk
to you about something of which
he knows nothing.
Hugh H. Craig presided at tonight's
meeting and presented Bell and Spell
lacy as the candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor and Judge
Benjamin F. Bledsoe of San Bernardinc
as candidate for the supreme bench.
Bell left Santa Ana this forenoon in
an automobile and made the trip
through the Santa Ana canyon to
Corona. where he was met by W. c.
Maloy, chairman of the Riverside coun-
ty central committee, W. o. Peeler and
G. d. Mcneil. After luncheon at the
Hotel del Rey, he addressed nearly 1oG
voters at a street meeting.
MEETING IN STREET
Bell then proceeded to Elsinore with
Maloy. and there Thomas T. Porteous
candidate for the assembly, joined him
in addressing a fair sized street meet
ing. The third day meeting was al
Perris, where Attorney Albert Trujillo
presented the candidate.
A feature of the visit to Perris was a
call which Bell made on Simon P. Rob-
bins, who is said to be the oldest dem
ocrat in California. He is 102 years old
and boasts that he voted for Andrew
Jackson for president. Charles Cowell
a member of the state central commit
tee, joined Bell in Perris and came into
Riverside with him.
Spellacy came in tonight from Los
Angeles, where he had been called last
night after the meeting at Santa Ana
Tomorrow morning Bell and his party
will leave for Imperial, where a meet
ing is scheduled for tomorrow night.

CANDY OF OTHER DAYS.
4 Packet ef Sugar At One Time Was .
eAstlx Reaaant.

Before the general use OF sugar
| it is evident that the varieties of
sweets, as We understand the term,
must have been limited. Even when
sugar became known its price-ac-
cording to some authorities, equal
to about $3.50 pound of our mon
ey-must have made it the luxury
Of the wealthy. 1t is true, how
ever, that there are in use today,
though in different combinations,
very many Of the ancient equiva-
lents for sweets. The various deli
cacies eau miel ct pistache' are
only another form of the honey and
nuts or almonds Of which the ear
lest records tell US. 1t is also prob
able that the candied fruits espe-
cially in evidence at this time diff
fer only slightly from the mclipek
ia and dulciaria of the Greeks and
Romans.
But when sugar came into gen
eral use sweets blossomed forth in
a thousand varieties. Indeed, chou
sand" is scarcely the word, if We
are to take the word of the Span
ish confectioners play in Beaumont
and Fletchcr's play, who declared
that he could 'steach sugar to slip
down your throat in million
ways" Other old dramatists give
us here and there allusions to the
taste for sweets that came in with
the time Of Elizabeth.
One of the servants of old Capu-
let bcgs his comrade to save him a
piece of marchpanc. There are not
wanting authorities to assure us
that the "pretty little kickshaws"
that Swallow, justice of the peace,
badc to be brought into the arbor
were a recognized description of
sweets. In other writer's of the
times we meet with constant refer
ences to kissing comfts,'' and we
learn that these were not, as the
name might indicate, twisted up in
colorcd paper and called "kisses,"
such as are still to be found in old
fashioned candy shops in our own
country, but that they partook
rather of the nature of our aro-
matte cachous. Even the "sweet po-
tatoes" SO affected by Falstaff were
not improbably more or less what
we now call crystallized and were
eaten much as We cat preserved
ounces and apricots.
A packet of sugar was at ono
time costly present to make even
to royalty. History tells us of the
"comfit box" that the great Guisc
missed as he was cnticed to his
doom.-Harper's Weekly.

spsIlina as Hard Work.

Most people study the spelling
book with more or less assidnity
during their school days, varying
the process by occasional mental
dips into the dictionary. Then they
devote the rest of their lives to
forgetting what they have learned.
If in doubt when writing letter as
to whether the &c" or the si' comes
first in some such word as "nicce"
they take a chance at it, arguing
that the recipient of the communi-
cation will understand what is
meant and probably will not know
whether the word is spelled right
or wrong. About seven times out
of ten the theory will hold good.

of popular ignorance ON the sub

its prevalence by little quiet

REAL BRAVERY IN WOMEN.
Remarkable csurass Shown By ea-
mona Aeeoinoe ef History.

No one can doubt that moral
courage is superior to physical.
Men exceed in the latter, women
in the former, and it is not desira-
bic that this should be altered, even
were it possible. Yet it would add
to the dignity Of both if men were
stronger morally and women phys
ically.
A modern historian says: "Moral
and rational faculties may alike be
dormant, and they will certainly be
SO if men are wholly immersed in
the qualification Of their senses
Man is like a plant, which requires
a favorable soil for the full expan-
sion Of its natural or innate pow
ers." If men had been shut out, as
women have, from the exercise OF
their physical faculties, is it certain
they would have developed excess
Of physical powers?
Notwithstanding her social disad
vantages in this respect woman has
made her mark in the annals Of
bravery. History affords numerous
examples of great heroines, many
of them, too, at time when the
general position of women was that
of slaves, but we can only note
few.
Laena of Attica bore the severest
torture without a word; Telesilla,
the poetess, made the Argolic wo-
men fearless of death and discom-
fitted the Spartans; Theodore saved
the eastern empire; Artcmisia drank
the ashes Of her consort; Camilla,
queen of the Volscians, was slain
fighting at the head of her troops;
Boadicca encountered the veterans
of Rome; the Maid of Orleans drove
the English from France; ARIA
stabbed herself to encourage her
husband to die. "See, it does not
hurt, dear Paetus," she said
The tales of martyrdom are fer
tile of heroic women. Young maid
ems met the most horrible deaths
with placid contempt, if not with
vehement JOY. No fiendish tortures
that devils could devise were able
to shake the fortitude of number
less brave women. Whether under
Nero or the bishops, under the in
QUESTION or the French revolution
aries, it was noted with surprise and
admiration that the women died
more bravely than the men.-Mexi-
can Herald.

she HAD A DOG.
Il was Against the Rules and the

1t happened, go the story goes,
on a Lehigh Valley railroad train.
1t had just left Easton station
bound for New York, and as the
conductor made his way through

dog with bushy tail and bright
black ewes sitting beside a young

rules, the conductor had to perform
painful duty.

to the young girl, "but it is against
