CAT OUT OF THE BAG.

The day following the election, when
the result OF the election was still in
doubt. the railroads filed their first
sr!t 10 test the Adamson eight-hour
law. states the Sacramento Union.
The next day and the next still other
suits were filed in various parts OF the
country.
These suits were held up because OF
the fear that II they were filed before
election they would have an adverse
effect on the candidacy OF Hughes.
The great corporations OF the country
were solidly back of the Republican
candidate. But they did not care to
make the fact too prominent.
When the votes were cast, It was
deemed safe to get out in the open and
begin the legal fight that had been
held in suspense while the railroad
candidate made his fight for election
In this sort of politics, which pos.
sibly was dictated by political wisdom
there is a confession OF what the PEG.
pie OF the west seem to have under
stood, that Charles L. Hughes was no.
the candidate of the plain people. but
the chosen representative of Wal.
Street and concentrated wealth.

UNITED WE STAND.

One reassuring feature or American
politics is the readiness with which
the American people lay aside their
party feeling on the day after election
and rally to the support of the man
who wins, says Goodwin's Weekly.
This Is a government by majorities,
or, sometimes, by pluraltlcs. Evcry
man who maintains citizenship under
the American constitution expressly
agrees that although he will stlll main.
tain and assert his own individual
opinions upon public questions, yet,
when a ballot. has been taken and the
will of the majority has been deter.
mined, he and all those who agree with
him will submit, II they arc on the
losing side. We have had but one Il.
lustration Of the failure Of the minority
TO submit to the will Of the majority
1t took four years OF civil war to settle
once for all the principle that when an
election has been held. the will of the
majority shall be absolutely permitted
TO prevail.
Nearly one.half OF the American yco.
pie are dissatisfied with the result of
the election held on November 9TH.
II is n certainty that thoze who were
on the losing side will rally to their
old Standard four years hence and
try TO secure the adoption In our ma.
tional government OF all those prir
ciples and policies in which they be
lleYe.
Persons unfamiliar with our political
system might look with some alarm
upon the condition which would exist
after the election had been held. Not
so with those who are familiar with
our political history We shall all Join
In an effort to accomplish the largest
possible good for the largest number
of people in our country. We shall
'tili have our differences as 10 the
yisest means 10 be pursued In the
accomplishment OF desired ends, but

The system Is going to he the basic

says:
Il am of the opinion that America
should adopt the only democratic ma

Il would have CONSUMPTION on a plan
somewhat similar 10 that enforced in
Switzerland at the present time-an
enlistment of two months at first. 10

"a system that would harmonic all
sections OF our country. In my opin-
ion we van 10 be made a much more
homogeneous people. and therefore
those that enlist from the east should
be sent TO the west and those from the
south sent to the north. and n perfect
understanding would be brought about
between various sections.
This CONSUMPTION imposed upon men
should also be obligatory for women,
who as citizens. but not as soldiers,
should know how TO efficiently do their
share in coming TO the aid of their
country in time Of calamity.
Girls should be forced to train in
various departments of the civil serv-
ice. in the postotices, in all the mu.
nicipal departments. and TO women
would apply the same ideas as TO the
men-that is to say. send them TO va.
rious parts of the country. SO that they
may get a wider knowledge of their

BLAMES DRINK FOR CRIME
Los Angeles Official Says Alcohol
Breeds Wolves of Society.

Criminals are In their moral natures
either foxes or wolves, according TO
Mr.. Carl May, county probation officer
OF Los Angeles county, Cal. The for
gers, embeZzlers, crafty and cowardly,
are the foxes, while the burglars, high
wayne and similar criminals are the
wolves, cowardly also, yet with a GER
tain courage at certain times.
Eighty per cent Of these sinking
feeders upon the blood OF society are
bred by drink, IL Mr.. Mays estimate
Is correct. Drink is responsible for
their being born foxes and wolves and
not men, responsible for the degreda-
ton when men take on the nature Of
the born criminal-at least in SO per
cent of the instances.
Break the backbone Of the liquor
power and you break the backbone of
crime in this country" says Mr.. May.
Prohibit liquor and jails will fall into
disuse. In a personal investigation
Of 200 cases of felony / found that men
very frequently go straight from the
saloon to the commission OF their Of
lenses. Some time ago the city au-
thorities OF Los Angeles forbade the
cashing Of checks in saloons. Check
passing Immediately fell off so per
cent and one detective agency was
forced out of business. John Barley
corr is a close friend of the criminal,
while he is committing his crime, but
he is always waiting to ruin his home,
kill his wife, starve his babies and
wreck the soul of his victim"

neutrality.
King Gustaye also said that In or.

The king called parliament's atten-

He named no one of the belliger.
ents, but In view of reports that Eng.
land is about to declare a blockade
of the entire German coast, thus cut
ting off trade between Sweden and
Germany, the kings remarks were

CALIFORNIA CITIES
INUNDATED BY FLOOD

Los Angeles, Jan. 19-Nearly every
stream and river in Southern Califor-
nia is Hooded as the result of rain
which has been falling almost eontinu-
ouslv since Saturday night.
Residents were maro0ned at many
places, street car and railroad traffic
demoralized and numerous accidents
resulted.
At many points the streams broke
from their banks. washing away
bridges and railway tracks and dam
aging thousands OF acres of cultivated
land. Unless the rain stops soon much
more serious damage is threatened.
