THE CALIFORNIA MENACE

No western state is fronting up on
form of radicalism more heavily charg-
ed with dynamite and destructive
lightning than California in the COM
ing state election.
Waving aside the Simple Tax which
will be showed under, the state faces
a $4,000, 900 bond issue to put the
state and it's municipalities into the
power business.
California power development and
the use of cheap hydro-electric power
or a large scale has outstripped, I'M
der wise state regulation and COM
munity profit sharing, all western
states.
The widespread and Astounding pros
perity of the state is to be compli-
Gated and threatened with uncertain
ties by politically manage state pow
er plants and city and county distrib-
uting systems.
California has had enough expert
ence with corporation politics to not
open wide the door of political iobbery
involved in this species of state So
cialism .championed ardently by the
Non-Partisan League.

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE?

Congress has solved the immigra-
ton problem-for a while-by extend
ing the present law. This law shuts
out a horde of people who want to
come in. 1t does this in an effort to
keep the American people American
to a larger extent than formerly.
Some time we must have a better
law.
We W nothing to other peoples
in the way of letting them in. We
W it to ourselves and to PROSPERITY
to keep the stock of people in this
country not only as good as we can
have them, but of a character that
will mingle and work together as one
people. We must not take into our
system classes that will not digest
and assimilate. If we have no proper
way Of Americanizing people, we
should find a way, not after we let
them in, but before.
Some nations still hold their people
who come to the United States to be
still citizens of the country from which
they come, even after they are natur-
allied here.
No such people should be natural
lied.
Some nations sift out their desir-
ables and let them come.
We should do the sitting, and not
at our ports either, but in Europe,
where they start.
We have many unemployed. 1t is
said that Americans will not do some
of the hard, rought work of a mining
and manufacturing country like this.
Wei, let that work go undone, if that
is so. As a matter Of fact, it is prob
ably not so. But any work which
Americans will not do had better &c
undone rather than to have our people
a~dulterated with the dregs of Europe
and Asia, with people who degrade
our standard of living below the Am
erican standard.
Let us think of the immigration

IN EIGHTH GRADE CONTEST
(By Belinda B~lackseth)
A Poppy Story of Poppy Pupils


For a long time the eighth grade
had a hard time choosing a motto,
name and class colors but finally we
decided on "We Will Win" for our
motto, and purple and green for our
colors. Later, several of the pupils
we're fortunate enough to hear Mr.
Grathwell's lecture and as we are full
of pep and spunk we decided the next
day, to call ourselves "Peptomists".
AS our name and motto suggests
we intend to be winners in whatever
we undertake, and according to a sur
vey taken last week the services we
will render to humanity are manifold,
for among us are, machinists, bankers,
stenographers, ball players, journal
lists, teachers, ship radio operators,
nurses and musicians. One young lady
in u group aspires to the peaceful
position of an old maid, and n of
our boys, we're sorry to say, has no
higher aspiration than that of a hobo.
Most of the Peptomists are live wires
and when they have nothing else to
do they are usually up to some mis-
chief.
Nicknames in the class room are
forbidden but once in a while we for
get ourselves and use them ever in
the class room Some of the most
popular ones ire: Aggie Lou, Sloppy
Liz, Bedbug, Jocko, Tubby, Seaweed,
Skinney, Cruick, Sweeny, Chops, Spa
ghetti, Baby Anholt, and Shanghai.
There are eighteen boys and twenty
four girls enrolled. Thirteen of the
boys belong to the Boy Scouts and nine
of the girls belong to the Camp Fire
Girls association. Most of the boys
and girls belong to the Athletic asso-
Citations.
We keep a school diary, each pupil
writing for a certain day. AS the
compositions we write in this diary
are not censured we express ourselves
rather freely and record many anus
ing incidents and many thoughts that
we would not otherwise tell the teach
er although we know that some day
she will read it,.
We nave COllcCCSu many
statistics. For instance in weight we
range from seventy-six pounds (Alice
Behner) to one hundred sixty-five
pounds Lecila Milks). Our whole
grade together weighs 1860 pounds or
two tons and nine hundred sixty-nine
pounds. Our combined ages amounts
to five hundred seventy-four years,
and our range in age is from twelve
to eighteen years, the average age
being thirteen years and eight months
Altogether we could make a pillar
two hundred twenty feet, six inches
high. Our range in height is from
four feet. nine inches (Flossie Bruce)
to five feet, nine inches, George
Michel.
When our class was first organized
Etairo Etow was selected president;
Anton Martinkoski. vice president;

election of officers from the boys
party, we decided that we were not
going to let the boys get ahead of US
so we held a party convention and
nominated our candidates beforehand.
When the general election was after
wards held, you may be sure we were
happy when we won with flying colors
and our candidates Bertha Wedum be-
came president and Alice Behner Sec
rotary.
We are trying to make the Pepto-
mists a self-governing grade. Our
legislative assembly, makes many of
our laws and we inflict our own pun
ishment which are not as easy as you
would suppose.
Three bills have been passed by our
legislative and are now in force in
the government of our grade.
The preamble of our constitution
reads as follows:
We the pupils of the eighth grade
in order to form an "A No. l Grade,

eral welfare, and secure the good will

A child of six needs II hours sleep.
SO do all children, up to 10 years.
Between 10 and II, youth requires 8
hours sleep. Who says so? An expert

Few people get enough sleep, the

He paused and, in spite of herself, her eyes flashed toward the door. Err skine saw it, drew himself erect, bowed and strode straight out Nor did the irony of the situation so much as cross his mind that he should be turned from his own home by the woman he loved and to whom he had given that home.
