| This Office has received from Guy
o. Glazier copy of The San Diego
Sun which tells all about the celebra-
ton accident to the arrival of the first
train over the new railroad, the San
Diego and Arizona. For. long
time San Diego has been the largest
city in the country situated at the
end of railroad and now that there
Iare two roads pleases the people as
much as were the residents of Bara-
boo when the Chicago & Northwest

had big celebration, there being
speeches, floats and other features.
The Sun contains illustrations of cur
yes in the road of viaducts, of tunnels
and of other features along the way.
The road traverses some interesting
country and opens new field of sup
plies for the California city. In its
meanderings from the east it passes
through Mexico at two different
places This may mean trainmen will

CATION shows that dry shavings fur

costing 68 cents for a small engine

Certain Lectures and Picture Shows

! wish to express my emphatic con-
domination of the attempt that is being
made to ruin the morals of our youth,
through the medium of certain lectures
and picture shows on subjects which
pander to the animal instincts, and
tend to degrade rather than elevate
the morals of our people.
1t is our indisputable fact that the
more lasciyious the nature Of the
lecture or the show is the larger will
be the gathering, which goes to prove
that the vast majority do not go to
such lectures or shows for any moral
benefits, but simply from morbid
curiosity
It cannot be denied that in the past
twenty-five years through the exploita
tons of cunning hypocrits more
knowledge has been communicated to
the youth of our country on those
delicate subjects than ever before.
But the morality of our people, in
stead of reaching a higher standard,
is becoming more depraved every day.
Before writer's of books or moving
pictures came to enlighten our youth
On several matters, they lived in
blissful ignorance of the degrading
vices which are now SO prevalent.
Now the opening petals are nipped in
the bud, and virtue is becoming a
more rare flower every day. Before
the prospective mother was taught
how to evade the responsibilities of
motherhood, the mother was seen
coming to church with a large family
Of children, now she has her pug dogs
and pups to look after.
