THE SALOON FROM AN
ECONOMIC STANDPOINT

The claims of the saloon to con-
tinue in existence are being analysed
with critical care. The fact is begin
ming to be recognized that every dol
lar spent over the bar is an economic
waste. 1t is withdrawn from the
channels of legitimate trade.
The millions of dollars that are an
nuelly absorbed by the saloon would
be devoted to the purchase of shoes,
clothing, food and other necessaries
of life IL the retail traffic in liquor
were prohibited. There Is not bank
in Los Angeles that would not be
benefited through increased deposits.
Realty would become active, for such
Of the wage earners and salaried men
as now spend their earnings in the
saloon would be stirred with ambi-
ton to own their homes. The little
retail stores throughout the resi-
dence section would find their trade
stimulated to degree that in many
cases would represent the difference
between operating at loss and oper.
ating at profit.
The daily record Of the police court
show that the saloons every day get
thousands upon thousands of dollars
that really belong to the homes OF
Los Angeles, Innumerable wives &c
without the ordinary comforts of life
who, but for the saloons, would be
added to the ranks of the patrons OF
stores doing an honest business along
legitimate lines. Think it over
Los Angeles Express.

THE MAN

1t is more important to know what
a man is than the policy he intends
to pursue. 1t is better to have a
courageous, highminded, honest cap
able man than one who lugged bale
of policies. In the personality lie the
highest possibilities of public duty.
Just what a man will do in certain
emergencies no one knows by what
he says he will do, for he is crea-
ture of circumstances, and the con-
struction of those circumstances be-
longs to his personality, which is at
tested by his life. So the ultimate
object of all policies should be the
man who can rise above selfish in
fiuence and do the right thing at the
right time. And all this lies within
the sphere of education, from which
is evolved the citizen whose whole
value is his personality, and not his
knowledge or his smartness or ora

tried to do, and what he nearly sue
ceeded in doing In the White House
conferences would put such face
upon the matter that Republican eff
forts to make an issue Of 1t would
fall entirely fiat.
But the people do know, for 1t was
before them In the Presidents address
to Congress, that he proposed, not q
single emergency act, but broad
program Of legislation to meet pub
lie need and permanently remove a
public danger. 1t was program
which we are convinced the railroads
would be very wise to accept in its
entirety.
Certainly 1t seems to us that they
are Ill advised to pray for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hughes, who, IL we take
him at his word, would have brought

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
TO FARMERS FULFILLED
Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth In
Official Pamphlet.

The Democratic platform of 1911.
made this promise to the farmers Of
America:
"Of equal Importance with the
question of currency reform is the
question of rural credits or agri-
cultural finance. Therefore we rec
ommend that an investigation Of
agricultural credit societies I'm for
eign countries be made, so that it
may be ascertained whether sys-
TEN of rural credits may be de-
vised suitable to conditions in the
United States; and we also favor
legislation permitting national banks
to loan reasonable proportion Of
their funds on real estate security.
1--WE recognize the value of vo
catiOnal education, and urge Federal
appropriations for such training and
extension teaching in agriculture In
cooperation with the several states"
These pledges, with many Other
services to the farmer, have been com
pletely fulfilled in the legislation Of
the present Administration. The rec
