THIS COMES FROM CALIFORNIA.
Taft and Economy

dUI anu CCOUOUly.
The act of President Taft in locking
horns with wasteful, eXtravagant
reckless and self-seeking congress in
the matter of the budget should en-
dear him to the people and of itself
should assure his reelection.
The president will send the budget
to congress, as he intended.
And on this issue the president ap-
peals to the people. Will you send to
congress representatives who will CO.
operate with the president in estab.
fishing economy, efficiency and re.
sponsibility in place of extravaganza
recklessness and irresponsibility?
Or will you send as the majority OF
those now there, who, unless rebuked
by an unmistakable expression OF the
people, will throw the president S
budget into the waste basket and all
pretense of economy and efficiency
with it?
Contrast the prudence and admin
istrative ability of Taft with the loose.
ness and vast of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. which was the worst in
that respect since the Civil war.
Elect Taft and congress to sup
port him.-San Francisco Chronicle.

FIVE UNANSWERABLE ARGU-
MENTS FOR PROHIBITION
Ex-President Of State University Tells
Why He Favors Amendment.
(Advertisement.)

DIR. b. ID. Purinton, ex-president OF
gives the following five reasons for his
advocacy OF the amendment
/. It is the right because it seeks to
destroy the soul-destroying liquor sa-
loon. to preserve the integrity of man
hood and to protect the helpless inno-
cence of womanhood and childhood
2. 1t is just to the sober. righteous,
law-abaiding taxpayer whom 1t relieves
from the unjust burden of paying for
the financial and criminal havoc of the
saloon. Aand 1t is not unjust even to
the distiller, the brewer and the saloon
keeper. because 1t simply forces these
Injurious citizens to seek an outlet for
their energies and their capital which
will at least not be positively unjust
and harmful to their fellow citizens.
3. 1t is economical to the state by
saving four-fifths of all its expense
for the prosecution and detention OF
criminals, and by conserving the in
dustry and productive capacity OF
thousands of Its citizens whom the sa.
loon debauches and disables. 1t Is
economical! to the home. to which II
restores the money ruthlessly filched
from 1t to fill the cavernous depths
of the saloonkeeper's rapacious poe
ket.

sertion and sentenced "to be
conveyed to tho pIaoe Of exeeu-
ton, and there fast, ,ed to >
stake, and . ball fired over his
head, a. an example to other
evil doers." In 1647 Jonas
Jonassen, a soldier, for robbing
hen-roosts and killing a pig, was
ordered "to ride wooden horse
three days, from 2 p. m. to the
conclusion Of the parade, with a
5o-pound weight tied to each
foot" In 1913 an Englishman
found guilty Of a grave offense
