The vigilante and so-called |. W. w.
affair at San Diego very unfortunately
is doing great harm to the city on the
bay, few persons outside that city
commencing the work of the yigi-
lantes
This episode indicates that the peO-
pie of San Diego have read history to
very poor advantage, for they are fol
lowing the same policy toward the
laboring people pursued by the Eng
lish barons in the fOurt 2enth century.
by the French royalty in the seven
teenth century and by the monarchies
of Europe in general in 1S4S, and such
policy always has and always must
prove to be without efficacy.
1t is a poor observer of the worlds
industri,l conditions today who does
not realize that there are close to a
million people in this country alone
out of work and struggling desperately
for the mere right to live. while there
are tens of millions who have but few
of the luXuries of life, the whole hav-
ing become restless and determined to
better their condition, just as the peo-
nle of other countries have hettercd

COLORADO DOES DAMAGE
TO NEEDLES LEvEES

SAN BERNARDINO, May 21.-The
Colorado river today is higher and
the last of the 5000 foot protection
wall at The Needles went to pieces,
but Notifications have improved the
situation.
Gangs of men worked all night
building a dam around the works, the
destruction of which would have left
the town without water. Cables were
strung to the walls of a well out in
the stream, and a barrier to hold the
current back was thrown up against
the cables.
The crumbling of the protection
wall left the bank open to the on
slaught of the current. which has
shifted and threatens to cut chan
mel across the land on which the
Santa Fe rOundhOuse stands.
The railroad company is trying to
head off the flood by unloading car
loads of rock from a track hastily
thrown up on "cribbing."
AT Parker big gang of men are
strengthening the protection wall
about the pier.
The crest of the flood will arrive
he last of the month.
Melting snow, 1000 miles above The
Needles, sent the torrent to the ocean.

Paid to His Family.
The most grewsome feature of the

terrible as we'll led soldiers-is their
stolid view Of death. In China cOOlie

ELECTRIC ILLUMINATION.
The Difference Between the Arc Light
and the lncandescent.


1t is a curious fact that while the
average man knows that. roughly
speaking, there are.two kinds of 'elec-
tric light"-the arc light and the in.
candescent light-he has hazy notion
of the difference between the two.
The arc light and the incandescent
light differ wholly in principle. in
brilliancy, in appearance and in the
mode Of use. The distinguishing diff
ference to an ordinary observer be
tween arc and incandescent lights may
be briefly stated thus: Arc lights burn
in the open air with carbon stick or
pencils. the points or ends Of which
are heated to white heat and grad
ually consumed.
Incandescent lights, on the contrary.
are produced inside small glass globes
of various shapes from which the air
has been exhausted These lights are
caused by the passage of electricity
through fine resisting wire or thread.
which is thereby raised into white
or incandescent light without being
consumed on account Of the absence
Of air. If air leaks in the filament
Immediately burns up, and that is the
end of it.
The term arc" is an old one adopt
ed years ago. referring to the suppos-
ed shape of an electric spark in pass
ing from one carbon point to the 9th
er.-Harper's Weekly.

whatever strength can be added to the
ticket by a strong, popular running
mate.
Governor JohnsOn's record for
achievement in his brief term as gov
ernor of California has challenged the
attention of the entire country. Moth
ing approaching it has ever been SER
iously attempted. Today California is
the leader of the progressive states
and popular government more nearly
approaches its ideal there than any
where else in the United States.
1T is that record which the Repub-
lican leaders are now considering
capitalzing and making the strongest
naign.

cir conditions at several times

their conditions at several times
through revolutionary procedure.
Those who are thus struggling are III
many cases lacking in education and
in definite knowledge of the things
sought, but they feel the oppression Of
circumstances, and blindly struggle
for better state Some few of these
people know no implement of defense
but force but the great majority Of
those who are seeking a better condi-
tion look to legal procedure to bring
about the improvements, and in work
ing this out, they look to street speak
ing as method of carrying on their
propaganda.
Free speech" is not to these peo-
pie an academic principle, it is an in
strument for throwing off an oppres-
sive condition, and when a city denies
them this right to speak freely and
publicly, they resort to crusade
methods.
It is not question what degree OF
error or righteousness there may be
in the doctrines they promulgate, for
there are surely degrees of both of
these, but TO attempt to compress the
human force by such a policy as San
Diego has pursued always has ano
always must bring disaster.
The crusade in San Diego, as has
! been said heretofore, is Il symptom of
the great disease, and it needs must
be treated with intelligence. To at
tempt to cure fever by putting shack,
les on the victim OF delirium cannot
! bring good results, nor can the social
upheaval Oe cured by violence on the
part Of those who uphold existing con-
