"Do you realize that today in the

are held where fifty, one hundred, two
hundred men and women go; eXami-
nations for positions with the State

that when these examinations are held
the papers are marked by experts and
that thereafter those who stand high

select their subordinates and their ap-

readily understand that gentleman
who has been so tender of civil service

Hero of the Merrimac
Is For Dry California

Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson will
discuss the liquor question, which has
become the most agitating subject to
voters of California this year, at I'M
perial, October 5, at A p. M, and at
Ell Centre at s in the evening in a
great outdoor meeting.
Mr. Hobson was formerly captain
in the United States navy and made
himself famous by his heroic attempt
to bottle up Cervera's feet in Santi-
ago harbor during the Spanish war,
by sinking the ship Merrimac across
the channel leading from the harbor
to the ocean At the close of the war
he entered the political arena and was
elected to Congress from Alabama,
where he has served with distinction.
His efforts on Congress to have an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States destroying the bever-
age liquor traffic submitted to the
states for ratification and his great
speeches in support thereof, which
have served as text books for tenn
perance orators and have been dis
tributed by millions, have marked him
as one of the foremost reformers of
the age.
Politically Hobson is a progressive
Democrat, but in this non-partisan
contest in California for an amend
ment to the constitution of the state
destroying the liquor traffic his pol
itics do not count. The California
Dry Federation, which initiated the
amendment under consideration is a
temporary organization having men
and women of all political and re-
ligious creeds working together for
the one purpose, and it is extremely
fortunate in securing the services Of
this world-famous sailor and con-
gressman to aid in the contest.
Mr.. Hobson is a powerful speaker
Whether the voters agree with him
or not in politics or in his temperance
work, they will be greatly entertained
and benefited by hearing him. His
eminent services to his country, his
sincere efforts to uplift humanity, his
merit and ability, deserve to and will
doubtless gather a large crowd to
hear him.
No admission will be charged.
Doubtful voters especially are re-
quested to hear him. Whether Cali
fornia shall go dry or not is an
individual question to be decided by
each in the seclusion of the voting
both, but nevertheless all should seek
light on the subject from all sources,
and more specially from one whose
career entities him to special eonsid-

SIDE NOTES ON WAR
FROM MANY SOURCES

London, Sept. 29.-Austin West,
staff correspondents of the Daily
Chronicle in discussing possible
changes of frontiers when the war is
over, has the following to say under
a Milan dateline:
"As for likely changes in the map
of the world at the end of the war,
1 think it probable that Great Brit
ain will take over the German colo
nies, giving Spain and Portual a share
therein. as a reward for their neu-
trality.
Russia will limit her demands to
Galicia, at the same time settling
guarantees for the entire independ-
ence of the four Balkan states. Since
Russia has no interest in the Adri-
attic problem, and moreover, cherishes
Ia warm friendship with Italy. she will
not offer protectorate over Albania.
In addition, there will be rectlfi-
cation of Italy's northern frontiers on
q national racial basis.
az think France will resume posses
session of Alsace-Lorraine and the
Palatinate while Austria will remain
g German state and form part of
the Germanic confederation.
"This will raise the question
whether the German emperor shall be
merely king of Prussia or also king
of Austria. 1t seems to me quite un-
likely that the United States will in
tervere, and if Sweden should assert
herself on behalf of Germany she
would find her action paralyzed by
that of Norway and Denmark"

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from "a to 1o years
of age undergo physical changes
which tax their strength to the utmost
and the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips, and tired
bodies-sometimes eruptions of the skin
and the utter lack of the ambition and
animation with which their younger
years were filled.
Budding into womanhood and man
hood, with the duties of school or business,
demands concentrated nourishm m Mt
which is readily convertible into red blood
corpuscles, energy and strength. and the
very best thing for this changing age 10
the medical nutriment in SCOTS Emul-
sion-it possesses the rare blood making
properties of cod liver oil in . predl-
gested form; hypophosphites for the
nervous system, with the healing. sooth.
ing qualities of pure glycerine.
