THE LACK or SMALL BOATS.

There can be no question: VI tAo
ability of ship to carry boats enough
even when she takes 1000 people to
sea-" says the New York Evening
Post, commenting on the Titanic dis
aster. IF it is matter of weights,
then let the companies cut out the ele-
vators, the swimming tanks, the gym
nas1ums, some of the other hundred
and one Injuries. AS a matter OF
fact, the development Of the small boat
has been practically neglected. The
genius of ship constructors has been
turned in the direction of providing
comforts primarily. We do not know
of single large liner that carries
we'll equipped gasoline launch; there
is no reason why there should not be a
dozen of them. There are quick
launching davits that never fail to
get a boat overheard promptly, even
under moderately stormy conditions
one OF these devices worked success.
fully for years on Col. John Jacob
Astor's yacht-but the steamship COM
panies have never been able to in
terest themselves in this device. Even
If it is necessary that every boat
should be kept on davits, ship that
has eleven decks can surely accom-
modate enough, one over another In
short, it is ridiculous to say that all
the ability that goes into the making
of such ship as the Titanic could
not solve every problem in connec-
ton with the small boats. The respon-
sibility rests squarely on the COM
panies and the American inspectors

PAYS $50 TO GET A
LEMON GIVEN TO HER
Mexican Woman Makes a
Deal With Witch, but
Loses Husband.

a precedent was established in the
local lemon market, or any other market
for that matter, when Saturday after
noon Josefna Mesa, a Mexican woman
residing at the intersection of Fourth and
Oregon streets, paid the sum of $50 for
a single lemon.
While it was an exceptional price,
JOsefina declared to officer Fenley that
it was an exceptional lemon, having been
salamed over, and sold to her with the
guarantee that it would perpetuate the
affection of her husband, and make him
bullet proof from the eyes of her rival.
JOsefina Lad not only bought the lemon
at the eXorbitant figure, she told the
officer, but according to the directions
OF the witch who had sold it to her,
she had sprinkled salt and pepper over
the floors OF her home to keep bad luck
away. She showed Fenley several bags
FILLED with twigs and leaves which she
declared were also charms and warranted
to keep i'll luck away from the home
Josefina was sad. In spite of the
lemon, which constituted the chief charm.
her husband, she told the officer, had
run away with the other woman. Now
she said she wanted the money back OF
else she would prosecute the witch.
Officer Fenley declared that he had
heard of persons handing lemons to 9TH
ers, but that was the first time he had
ever seen one that had gone through the
process. He described the particular
lemon as being dried up, yellow and
wrinkled, and said that in his opinion it
was not worth $50.

another of the things the ring has

The ring is scared. 1t has ordered
all of its city employees to get out and
they tell you that the city has nothing
to do with the county organization
The Young Mems Democratic club has
been organized with these same city
employees, sons of city officehOlders and
city Officeseekers in control. Yet they
say that there is no connection be-
tween the city and county organization.
Any blind paper seller on the corner
can see that this is a lie and that the
city ring and county ring are one and
the same.
Therefore a vote against the ring
ticket Saturday is a vote against ring
control of city affairs, against high
agement OF the city affairs, against
political patronage at the expense of
the taxpayers, against all of the graft
that ring control spells.
A vote for the anti-ring ticket Sat
