ers are admitting today that any har-
mony plan that may yet be decided upon
depends entirely upon recognition of the
Ware claims by Senators Penrose and Nc

apparent that he Is ready to deal with
the Wares
This was indicated by the States" and

camp and that was universally discussed

place of Congressman Ware, and gave
most OF the row offices" to the Wares
as compensation for the sacrifice of Con-
gressman Vares ambition to be Mayor.
MeNichol and Penrose, according to
McNichol workers, are ready to drop Err
nest l.. Tustin and agree to support a
ware man for the place. In this connec-
ton the names of William II. Wilson and
James M. Hazlett were mentioned.
Inc wares are said to have offered their
support to David H. Martin, as Tustin's
successor, in return for his support OF
Congressman Ware.
Friends of Tustin are urging him to
make an Independent campaign for nom
nation and reelection. A meeting, rep
senting about 1000 real estate men, win
be held tomorrow, in the office of w. r,
Nicholson. president OF the Land Title
and Trust Company, at which resolutions
will be adopted indorsing Tustin for re-
election.
Tustin is non-committal as to whether
he Will conduct an independent campaign
or not. His friends will probably conduct
the campaign for him. as ne announced

Economy the Thief Of Time.
For County Surveyor
J.. CARSON BOuSII

In face Of the amazing change of
conditions which the past iifty years
have seen il is amusing to consider
how far the terms of proverbial wis
dom have to be recast TO keep them
up to date, The good little boy of
the old-fashioned story won his W Y
because he patiently united the knotty
s,rings and put the wrapping paper
aside for further service. The mod
ern boy learns that time is worth more
than paper and string. and he slashes
accordingly. A penny saved is so
often pound lost that. parsphrasing,
one might call economy the thief of
time. Once a country's roads were its
measure of civilization. The highways
were the only means of getting about
or OF exchanging even ideas. Now
the roads of a nation are its railroads
and street railways. its telegraph and
telephone. The prompt delivery of
mail and express registers the degree
of civilization. The great body of the
people travel by rail, although many
enjoy the streets and highways in their
motor cars. But roads are no longer
to be kept up by the labor or expense
of the many for the benefit of the few.
A city may conceivably neglect its
streets because il spends so much on
schools. to which the street car lines
bring the children from far aud for
very few pennies. This is a modern
measure of civilization. 1t is perhaps
within the range Of possibilities that
we shall see the streets of the busiest
city grass-grown or planted out to
flowers. when humanity has at last es-
tabished its goings over the viewless
highways of the air.
