SEN. OWEN FIRST
 NAME PRESENTED
(By United Pressl

San Francisco, June 3O.-Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma was the first of the Democratic presiden- tial candidates placed in nomination this afternoon, his name being pre- sented by D. H. Linebaugh of Okla homa City in highly laudatory ad- dress. Senator Owen was presented as sound and practical statesman, a staunch and dependable Democrat and a senator who has been faithful to the legislative program of the party
 Mir. Linebaugh also emphasized the triumph of Senator Owen in running 18,000 votes ahead of the national ticket in the general election of 1912, deducing fro mthis that the senator would command the support of lib- erals outside the party. Senator Owen also would command the suf- frage vote, the speaker said, as he has been an ardent and effective campaigner for the Susan B. An thony amendment.
 Concluding, Mir. Linebaugh said: We offer you Virg mia Democrat, born and reared in the old dominion; western Democrat who for 30 years has been the acknowledged leader of Democracy in Oklahoma; a man who can state the cause of Democracy with supreme and convincing force, learned scholar, trained statesman, great orator and skilled cmpaign- er."

HIGH COST OF LIVING

Whenever the workers complain
of the high cost of living, the prof.
iteers and all those interests that
defend profiteering bring forward
the argument that the high price
of commodities are caused by
strikes and labor troubles. In view
of these facts Butcher Workman's
Advocate some time ago sent out
the following list of questions:
(Which strike caused the price
of eggs to go from 80 cents to 81
per dozen?
(Which strike caused the price
of butter to go from 65 cents to
80 cents a pound?
(Which strike caused the price
of oysters to go from 40 cents to
80 cents per quart?
(Which strike caused the price
of lumber to advance from $40 to
$3.50 per thousand feet?
(Which strike caused bread to
go from 5 cents to Is cents per
loaf?
(Which strike caused gingham
to go from 10 cents per yard to
40 cents per yard?
(Which strike caused house
rents in many of our cities to ad-
vance 100 per cent?
Listen to this, there are 10000
more millionaires in the United
States today than there were be-
fore the war.
That's the answer to the high
cost of living"

LOOKING OUT
OVER THE BAY

At the close of the Chicago
convention, Hiram Johnson gave
out the statement that he would
return to San Francisco and spend
a few days looking out over the
bay and later on would have
Something to say. II was easy to
forecast Johnson's position after
the Democratic convention. AS
he says, he had no other choice
except to remain with the Repub-
lican party. AS an out and out
opponent of the League of Nations
there was no other course for him
to pursue. Even the much talked
of third party has gone on record
as favoring the League.
The average voter will favor
Mr.. johnson in one respect. He
too will devote little time to
looking out over the bay, but the
conclusions which he will draw
will not be influenced and deter
mined by the personal ego. Meth
er will party loyalty cut much of
a figure in his meditations. AS he
looks out over the bay, the per-
sonality of the candidates and the
issues at stake will be the main
factors which he will consider.
An impartial survey of the field
would indicate that between the
two old parties the Democrats
would have by far the best of the
argument.
No one who is familiar with the
political history of Jimmy Cox
will have any doubts of his being
an ideal candidate. He will not
hide in an obscure village and
make a few carefully prepared
speeches to visiting delegations
from his front porch. On the con-
trary he will be found fighting in
the open, mingling with the peo-
pie from all sections of the coun-
try. AS it is now planned. Hard
ing will talk only to a select few
who will make excursions to his
country residence. The common
herd will not have an opportunity
to hear him but will be privileged
to read the speeches which he
may make from time to time.

MUST PRESERVE THE SALMON
Why the Systematic Destruction Of
Fish in the Yukon River Should
Be Prohibited

In the outpOsts of the far North is
an important churchman, Hudson
Stuck, archdeacon of the Yukon, who
writing in the New York Times about
the disappearance of big game, says
that the concern should be not so
much about big game but about far
greater danger which threatens all the
inhabitants of the interior of Alaska,
namely, the destruction of the Yukon
salmon. main subsistence of the whole
country. Indeed he says the whole
economy of the Yukon country is built
upon dried salmon. All the other re-
sources of the country are more or
less dependent upon this noble fish.
The salmon iJ the harvest of the riv.
ers, the only generally dependable
recourse, although. like the harvest of
the earth, it has its fat and lean years.
To save the salmon the archdeacon
says there is no recourse but the pas
sage Of bill by congress forbidding
commercial fishing in the Yukon and
adjacent waters.

WHY
PhonoGraph Gives Us Such
Faithful Reproduction

Few people know why 1t Is possible
to reproduce the vocal or instrumental
art of q great artist with the faithful
the first place, 1t should be remem-
bered thet sound waves gradually d.
minish In volume If released in large
space of air, just as the rlpples caused
by tossing a pebble into still pool
gradually become smaller.
The record" consists Of one long
groove having indentatiOns of varying
sizes in it to represent the sound
waves to be reproduced. These small
indentations are either In the bottom
or sides of the groove. At the begin
ming and end of the groove there are
no indentatiOns, as 1t Is desirable to
have space for the stylus to run In
until it can be removed from the rec
ord, IL finishing playing. and when
starting the record it is desirable to
place the stylus in the groove before
any Of the indentations are reached.
As soon as the stylus Or needle is
placed in the groove of the revolving
record, only slight kissing sound Is
produced until the sound indentatiOns
are reached, As soon as the stylus
strikes these tiny distractions vibra-
tions are set up which are conducted
to the center Of the diaphragm of the
reproducer.
Then just as the ripples of water
roll away from the spot where the
stone struck, the vibrations spread
throughout the reproducing membrane,
re-creating the original sounds, al
though in a reduced volume. The re-
vOlving of the record at even speed
Causes the vibrations to follow each
other In their proper order.
The diaphragm must be Of absolute

waves are then increased, we might

the graduated sections Of the tone
arm.
AS the size Of the tone arm in
creases the sound waves expand, thus
bringing back much of the original vol
ume. The next time your talking ma

solve the trouble quicker If you use
little common sense and remember
about the still pool and the rlpples.-

THE NEW ACCESSION

The Republican press is greatly
worried because several thousand
organized farmers and labor men
have signified their intention of
joining the Democratic party in
this state and announce list of
candidates whom they will have
placed on the Democratic ballot
to be voted for at the coming ell
ection. They complain bitterly
that great numbers of these voters
have never before affiliated with
the Democratic party. We cannot
blame the Republican politicians
for feeling sad and gloomy when
they see thousands of Republicans
deserting their ranks and going
over to the Democrats in body.
And to lose all these voters just
when they feel so sure of electing
Schuyler, Shoup and the entire
state ticket, at is enough to make
the angels weep"
But our Republican friends are
fearful that these farmers and
labor men will be unfair to the
Democratic party and will try to
dictate the whole ticket. 1t is
quite probable that this new ele-
ment in the party if it is as large
as the Republicans think it is, will
succeed in nominating part of
the ticket but it is unlikely that
they will be able to name the
whole ticket, but even if they
should we would know that the big
interests did not name the ticket.
There is a reason for these voters
coming to the Democratic party.
They recognize the fact that the
Republican party of this state is
entirely controlled by the money
power. They know that among
the Democrats are many progress
i've voters who will unite with
them to wrest the control of this
state from the money power.

help of the farmers of the valley

i " DESOLATION OVER


FERTILE HAWAIIAN LAND.
Millions of tons of lava, which
have been pouring from the
great volcano of Kilauea during
the past three months, have
buried approximately twenty
five square miles of country un-
der a coating averaging 100
feet in thickness. The great
flows, streaming in every direc-
tion from their source in the old
rift of 1868, still are moving
slowly forward and at one point
are within two miles Of the sea.
and twelve miles from the fOun-
tain head.
The glittering floods Of Grim
son lava are coming from the
southern flank Of Kilauea. What
was formerly quiet expanse
Of sandy waste, dotted with
green oases, now is smoking
tract of ruin and desOlation. A
few charred fragments mark the
sites of former forests buried
deep beneath the torrents of
molten stone elected by the
volcano.
Trained observers who have
watched Kilauea for many years
say that 1t is extremely difficult
to find their way about or pick
out the old landmarks. Wnere.
in former days, stretched the
level sandy plain, plentifully
sprinkled with Olivines and vol
canic rock, now there rises a
lava dome three miles in length
and upwards of 200 feet in
height.
yelling from an earthquake
rift, flows have piled on top OF
flows the crest creased by hot,
cherry-red cracks some of which
emit gas flames. At the sum-
nit of the dome is large lake
of lava, nearly half mile in
length, having an average
breadth Of 300 yards. From the
surface of the lake lava foun-
tains are continually playing.
Evidences of tremendous de-
structiOn are to be found in the
section where the lower forests
used to stand. Tall CHA trees,
now charred wrecks, but in some
cases still burning. rise forlOrn-
ly amid the general desOlatiOn.
In one place there is to be
seen the remnant of heavy
stone wall. which, before the
last flows started, marked the
boundary of the Kapapala ranch.
The moving lava surged against
the wall. pushed it over and
buried the greater length of 1t
under the molten flood.
The stretch of country across
which the present lava streams
are moving is a mass of under
the-surface tubes and tunnels
formed by old flows, mostly in
the great eruption of 1868. The
present molten rivers, running
through these and entering
sealed caverps are continually
blowing up the cavern roofs with
loud explosions. and showers of
red-hOt rock, which make de-
tailed examination hazardous.
