Doctors sometimes give drastic, medicines to kill disease so that it is often said, "The remedy is worse than the disease," and this is not only true in treating dis orders of the body, but it is equally pronounced in treating disorders of a social or political nature, and now comes such in formation from the committee wiiich Governor Johnson, of California, commissioned to in quire iito the troubles caused at San Diego by the Industrial Workers of the World. The I. W. W. organization showed a strong hand in labor troubles at San Diego, and to oppose them and to remedy the disturbance the citizens inaugur ated a vigilance organization, and conditions obtained under its methods, which called for in vestigation. The committee in its report, scores the I. W. W. organization, but its denuncia tion of the vigilantes is even stronger, and it recommends that the state take drastic measures to settle the war in the troubled district. In this particular instance the remedy only augments the dis satisfaction and makes condi tions worse, and why should it not be so? One organization came into existence to seek re dress because of conditions im posed by the business world, and in the contention for rights, or otherwise, use unlawful means to secure the desired end; the other, under lawless circum stances, organizes to bring about order without complying with the statutes of the state; the first is abetted and controlled by the carnal mind wherein greed, avarice and will power are dom inant in the opposing factors, and in the case of the vigilantes oppof.ed to the I. W. W. is a matter of will power opposed to will power with an ugly frame of mind in the rear, urging each to strive for the mastery, and as the latter deem their , cause just the resort to acts of violence that are unwarranted and un lawful to accomplish their pur pose, are but the natural conse quence of the. contention. The Industrial Workers will not succeed in bringing about better conditions until the mem bers of the organization become righteous themselves, and nei ther will the vigilantes succeed in bringing orderly conditions ex cept they proceed in an orderly manner. This "Might Makes Right" contest has been going on for several thousand years and the contending forces seem at greater variance now than at any former period, t - POWER OF DELUSION. been reached, the rensoner has taken his. own standard as thej foundation of his righteousness,! and reasoning from the carnal . standpoint, not being in touch with the higher or spiritual mind, he builds his own struc ture, guilds it over until it suits his fancy and then rejoices in it. This condition becomes a very convenient solace to mauv per sons, under certain circum stances, and is of especial value j to the murderer when he gets caught ami has to expiate his crime on the gallows or in the electric chair. It enables him to work himself into a belief that his sin has been condoned for. and then up springs n joy in his heart that transports him to the Klysian fields of bliss, and he is ready to exclaim as one did not long since, when he re marked that his only regret was that his wife, whom lie had murdered, would have to spend eternity among the condemned. The writer is not in harmony with that kind of reasoning; truth is truth no matter where you ti tut it; if you add to it you destroy it, and if you take aught from it you likewise destroy it, hence its unchangeability, and it is unon this principle that the immutability of the Creator rests, hence "That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been, and God requireth that which is past."

Hrvan savs that the sug gestion that the government pay presidential campaign expenses was first advocated by Col. Roosevelt in a message to con gress. Bryan then endorsed the idea but it was not adopted by- congress. If two such. men as Roosevelt and Bryan favor the plan of having the people finance their own presidential elections it is assuredly a strong argument in favor of the idea. Both men have been through several cam paigns and Roosevelt served as president for seven years. They know from where the money comes with which campaign ex penses are met. They know the obligations under which a presi dent must work when he owes his election to money contributed by private individuals or cor porations. So their advice should be good. Until receipt of the Bryan letter this paper did not know this idea had ever been publicly advocated before and considered thatMessrs. King and McCusker, who are planning to lay the subject before the two great national conventions this sum mer, would be suggesting some thing entirely new. It is grati fying to know however, that their views are already shared iJUMI AV 14 .. Si AC DRESS 1 UP ybr DECORATION DAY THE little things count in clothes as ivell as in life.
