Vagueness of Progressives.
From the Springfield Republican


Gov. Hiram Johnson. like most progress
i've orators, in presenting the social well
fare program Of hts party, fails to ex-
plain what Is to be accomplished by state
legislation, and what is to be accom-
plished by federal legislation. There is
a general tendency to confuse state and
federal Jurisdictions. The minimum

How does he propose to have a minimum
wage established? 1t naturally ia Is I'M
der state jurisdiction, and Massachusetts
had taken up the question before the
new party was dreamed Of. II the ma
tional leaders of the prog essive party
propose to deprive the states of their
jurisdiction and make the question purely
federal, they should say SO. If they do
not intend to make 1t federal question.

ruins Of cities whose history is lost
in the maze of time.
Doctor Frobenius says his explora-
tions and his many finds" show that
the country and its people at one time
enjoyed the very highest degree of
civilization of its time. Bronzes,
ceramics and utensils show that a
high degree Of art and skill abounded.
The country, said Doctor Frobenius,
is exceedingly rich in gold and other
valuable minerals. The natives,
tribes of negroes, have made no at

cause of their religion, which forbids
1t, but fond as they are of gold orna-

the treasures. Doctor Frobenius is

his discoveries in a book which he is

PROTESTING AGAINST NOISE.

There Is to be an international
ontological congress at the Harvard
Medical School next August which
will be attended by 500 distinguished
physicians and savants from all over
the world. One of the prominent
topics will be the suppression OF noise.
It is contended, says the prospectus
OF this meeting, that the hustle and

noises are taking their toll from the
health of the community. The ear IL

Woman and Three California Children

Anaheim, CaL-The three-year-old

without fuss, coolly awaiting rescue;
the mother who leaped unhesitatingly
into the we'll, without knowledge of its
depth, to aid her child; the little five

rode to the well, worked his wits and

the four are entitled to awards for
heroism.
This was enacted at the Shannon
Kincaid ranch on the Santiago Canyon
road. M. s. Ingram took his family to
the ranch for the afternoon.
Answering the appeals of the chill
dren for a romp on the hillside, Mrs.
Ingram after a short visit with her
friend, Mrs. Kincaid, went out with the
little ones. Gathering around an old

The popular interest in comets is
doubtless due to their transitory char

unusual and not more than once or
twice in a lifetime are there to be
seen such types as the beautiful comet

daylight, and whose tail was long

earth and sun. But little comets are
