Rev. A. Newman, who was in
Sacramento the first of the week
SO we are informed, stood up for
his rights like a man when refused
service of chocolate in certain
drug store of that city. He started
something, and it was only a short
while when he was back again, and
the young man, who refused him
was compelled to serve and nothing
in the place seemed to good for
him. He acted the gentleman,
won out, aud there is room OIL the
coast for more such as he.

" THE CLANSMAN."

EDITOR WESTERN OUTLOOK
SIR: Permit me. please. through
your valuable paper to address a
few words to the citizens of Oak
land. A splendid fight is beiig
made against the pernicious photo
play, THE Clapsman. We may
be proud Of our efforts. Only one
jarring note is heard, and that is a
rumor Of the possible use Of VIC
lence in case the play is allowed to
proceed There may be absolutely
nothing in this rumor, but it sug-
gests to me as a leader of the people
the need of some timely advice.
Be assured, dear fellow citizens,
that violence begets violence, and
that we have nothing 10 gain by it
only possible harm. Stay away
from the play, as your feelings will
suffer terrible hurts and you will be
tempted to express yourselves in
ways that may not be tolerated.
But if you must go let me urge you
to exercise the utmost self-restraint.
Remember that your actions may
not end in consequences to your
selves alone, but may extend to the
entire race in this community.
Yours for the race,
d. r WALLACE.

YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS.

There seems to be an awakening
and we are able to report few
more accessions this week to our
yearly in ad vance list, TO wit:
MRS. D. w. RUGGLES.
This is new name to our yearly
in advance list, although the pos
SCISSOR of the same has been one OF
our best yearlies for quite awhile.
This may seem strange, but it is
true. To explain: She is bride of
but few months. has changed her
name, and she and a certain we'll
known custom house employee have
become as one. And it has never
happened to US before he was
good subscriber, but by the union
our list was cut down to one where
before we had two. This seems
hard, but both are good friends just
the same. Mrs. Ruggles, as a
member of the 5. F. women's club,
is doing good work. and she has
been honored by them in official
position. She is worthy, a good
friend to the paper, and we thank
her for genuine interest.
MRS. L. MEADOWS.
An ack nowledgment should have
been made ere this of the subscrip
ton of Mrs. L. Meadows and the
receipt of her s.. SO for yearly
renewal in advance. She pays
promptly. and we do not lose any
sleep over her neglecting to send in
the proper check. She is member
of the Order of Calanthe,' Kuig hts
Of Pythias, and is a cheerful worker
for the advancement of the same.
Workers are needed, and as no
society ever has too many, of course
they always count. Mrs. Meadows
enjoys The WESTERN OUTLOOK.
so she informs US. and she strength.
ems her words by the coin she gives
towards the support of the paper.
All of this we deeply appreciate
and tender our sincerest thanks.
GEORGE L. McCARD.
Geo. L. McCaid is one Of our old
friends, and has been on our list
ever since we started the paper,
over twenty years ago. If we
remember Alright, had it not been
for him our chances for getting out
the paper would bave been very
poor. as he had charge of the
mechanical department. We had
more enthusiasm then than money.
all of Us, and he was loyal to our
interests, and did what he could TO
help US. revolutionize things that
did not revolutionize. Mr.. McCard
is now an attache of the Oakland
postof6ce. where he is making good
in a responsible position, and that
it is a bigger and better concern
than The WESTERN OUTLOOK
there is no chance for an argument.
We wish him more success and
greater advancement. and extend
thanks for remembrance.

These are significant admissions to

Republican ticket lost out in 1912 in
every one Of those states. The Demo

Missouri is doubtful and the others
are "reliably Republican as Yer

in political conditions in the states

suppose that a like condition exists in

THE MAN
o THE DOLLAR

Z. s. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
Dee. 10, 1915.@'If we are to take up
this question of the violation of our
rights, / want to upt it not on the
lowest ground alone, but on the highest
ground as well. / think it is of great
Importance that we should vindicate
cur rights as a neutral in trade if
those rights have been violated, but I
think it is far more important that we
should extend protection and assure
security to American citizens wherever
they rightfully are, for / do not be-
lieye that any government can long re-
tain the respect of it's own people if it
does not give them the protection to
which they are entitled. I think Amer
leans should be protected in their lives
and in their liberty everywhere. i do
rot think they ought TO be murdered
in detail and obscurely in Mexico or
openly and wholesale on the high seas.
Although / am as anxious as anyone
can be to care for our rights in trade
if they are violated, to me American
lives are more important than American
dollars. The body of an innocent child
floating dead on the water, the victim
Of the destruction of an unarmei YES
sci, is to me more poignant and a more
tragic spectacle than an unsold hale
of cotton"

HOPEFUL OF RELIEF
 FOR CITY FINANCES
Commissioners Back From MontgOmery-In Close
 Touch With Capital
By"Hop"

Commissioners Ward and Weatherly re- turned from Montgomery yesterday, where they had been in interest of the Birmingham city financial legislative bills. and stated that they were very hopeful of the bond issue bill for tenn porary relief of the city passing both houses before recess of the legislature.
 They admitted there was no specific grounds on which to base this hope. but insisted that 1t was not an imaginary optimism on that account.
 As to the legislation for permanent re- lief of the citys finances, the commis- sioners state that such is not being con sidered at this time as it would be of no use until after the legislature had adjourned and after the proposed re- cess of the lawmakers will be plenty of tune to fight out this issue.
 Through Special Attorney Ed Smith, who is now in Montgomery the commis- sioners are keeping in close touch with the situation. They do not anticipate an- other trip to Montgomery before action on the bill but stated they would do so if developments were such that it would seem necessary. Both commissioners held long distance telephone communications with Attorney Smith last night.

AN ENGLISH ORDER
 FOR STEEL BELIEFS
Six Thousand Tons Taken From Gulf States Steel
 Company

The first confirmation of European or ders for Birmingham was secured yes- terday, when it was officially stated by the Gulf States Steel company that 5000 tons of steel bllets had been ordered from England and that the Gadsden plant had secured the order. This is ad- mittedly small. but at the same time it is gratifying to the local officials in that it indicates a break in the lines that have been drawn against Birmingham in cident to the war The statement was made yesterday that H. Sanborn' Smith, vice president of the Gulf States, had been in England for several months, and that while he went there for orders he had only secured coco tons of billets. The officials are not disappointed that the tonnage is no greater.
 Mir Smith will be here today after an absence in England of several months, and he may give out statement as to the situation in that country.

 quent departures from the long and
 short haul principle of the law. the
 carriers had every reason to believe
 that their practice had the approval of
 the public, even when 1t was not di-
 rectly the result of public demand.
 Now the interstate commerce com
 mission, pursuant to the requirements
 of an amended law, has concluded an
 inquiry into rates from the eastern
 seaboard, including the Virginia cities,
 from south Atlantic and gulf ports
 and from Ohio and Mississippi river
 crossings, into the southeast and Mis-
 sissippi valley territory. As result the commission has in large measure condemned existing departures from the long and short haul requirement., except where justified by competition beyond the control of the rail car riers, a phrase which came to be re- stricted to mean direct or indirect wa ter competition.
 Reductions Only Disastrous Obviously, the removal of inequal . ities condemned by the commission. by reductions only, would result in dis aster to the carriers. This fact IS rec ognized by the commission, Which, Tn it's review of the situation, stated. It is entirely clear that the revenues of large percentage of the lines in the Southeastern territory would be so im- paired by such procedure as to make it impossible for them to meet theiI operating expenses, taxes and fixed charges and leave their stockholders even moderate return.
 'It is equally obvious that it would be unfair to punish the carriers. in con forming to a changed public policy, for acts which at the time of commission were approved by public opinion. Hence in working out the order oi the commission such elevation of rates to the depressed points must accompany reductions to the much larger number oi | intermediate points as will at least pre- serve the revenues of the carriers. .'The task of revision is no easy one | It has been undertaken in loyal effor' | to conform to the law, as now interpreted l and to be fair to all.
 Departures from the long and shor haul principle in the south are not con 1 fined to interstate traffic There are 1T l the south a great many intrastate rate. | that do not conform to the principle | undue discriminations are to be avoided | these intrastate rates must be brough 1 into harmony with the revised interstate adjustment being made under the direc | ton of the interstate commerce commis
 sion. It is the purpose of the railways o the south to take up each intrastate re l vision with the several state railroa' l commissions.
