A Few Words on Loaflno.

Don't loaf. likeness is the root of much evil, and uncheerfulness is one of the shoots from the root There is nc such thing as idleness in nature The worlds that glitter in the arch of the heavens are ever moving. The moon never stays in one place. The restless sea moans in and out over he harbor bar. The rivers gurgle and splash as they journey to the sea.

The living creatures of that world glance noiselessly through the air or glide stealthily through the heavy. sound deadening verdure." Cuba has prac- tically no song birds; they are merely gaudy creatures of the ballroom. She is happy also in having no venomous snakes and few pests of any sort

ELECTION
is ON TO-DAY
[uN1rEp PRrss LrasEp rraE. ]

UNITED PRESS LEssED vIaE.I
San Francisco, Oct. 10-Despite
reports Of light polling all over Cali
fornia today on various amendments
to the state constitution, political
forecasters here this afternoon de-
clare that most of the proposals will
be sanctioned by the people The
initiative, referendum and recall
amendment, 1t is said, is sure to car
ry by a heavy vote. Woman suf-
frage too, it is predicted viii be
adopted by narrow majority.
The most important of the other
amendments offered to the people for
approval are those strengthening the
powers of the state railroad commits
sion and allowing for compulsory
workmen's compensation The pas
sage of both is predicted, the vote in
the last case being expected to be
double for the positive side that cast
by those who oppose the amendment.
Political prophets here admit that
suffrage will be beaten in San Fran
cisco and the bay cities by not more
than 1000 or 5000. At the last cleo
tion 1t was beaten by a large r ajor-
ity. The difference, it is believed,
with the probably affirmative state
vote will be sufficient to 'sccare the
ballot to women. .',U>
