CALIFORNIA U. WILL
TEACH ADVERTISING
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 29.
Having made a success with Its I
journalistic ilnsses, the Inlverslty
of California now intends to Instruct
in the art of advertising writing.
A room has been secured in the city
hall here, and lectures on all phases
of advertising from the short,
snappy streetcar legends to the long,
involved machinery advertisements
will be given. Color advertising will
also have an Important part In the
curriculum of the course as will the
use it the moving picture screen as
an advertising medium.

the life of anyone else. But If he
will take no useful or efficient part
In helping in this war, In running his
share of the common risk and doing
his part of the common duty, then
treat him as having forfeited nis
right to vote, his rii'ht to render .
the polls any decision which In the
long run can only be made good in
the face of brutal and hostile men
by the ability and willingness of
good citizens to back right with
might."
"Such a man," Mr. Roosevelt In
sisted, "who claims citizenship but
Is not willing to perform the ne
cessary duties, is not entitled to any
of the rights of citizenship saying:
"Service to the nation In war stands
precisely on a footing with any other
service. If a man will not perform
It, let him lose all the benefits of
war and at least let him lose the
political rights which a free country
can keep only if Its free citizens are
willing to fight for them.' We stand
against all privilege not based on
the full performance of duty; nr.d
there Is no more contemptible form
of privilege than the privilege of
existing In snug, self-righteous
peaceful safety because other, brav
er, more selt-eacririclng men give
up safety and go to war to preserve
the nation. If a 'man is too con
scientious to light, then the rest of
us ought to be too conscientious to
let him vote In a democratic land
which can permanently exist only If
the average man Is willing in the
last resort to fight for It and die for
It."
Mr. Roosevelt said that any work
lngman today, whether he be on the
farm or In the shop, who supports
Germany, "Is not only playing the
part of a traitor to the United
States, but Is playing the part of
Butter Bill
traitor to the whole spirit of dem
ocracy throughout the clvlllied
world."
The speaker asserted that the M
clallMt party and the Industrial
Workers of the World organisation
In this country had been the tools of
Cermnn autocracy and the enemies
of liberty.
A plea for universal military ob
ligation whs made by Mr. Roosevelt
who said the selective draft system
Is wrong "because It choose out one
man to make the sacrifice and do
the work of two or three other men
who are allowed to stay at home
and make money, while the first man
risks his life for their common coun
try." The officers training ramps were
also crltlclied by Mr. Roosevelt be
cause he said "they hnve beet, so
conducted that only men of some
means could go thither or send their ;
sons."
He wild they done admirable work
but thin fe&ture mi eh t to be rcme-
I died so every man who Is a respect- !
I able man and who has sons of tne
right type, could feel that those sons:
had an equal chance to become offi
cers with any man In the land.

Hcrkeley, Cul., Sept. 29.--When
the average city sets about Improv
ing Its st reels, It has no quarter (or
old landmark! thai happen to .stand
In the way. Hut not this place.
The battered old bench that used to
set In front of one of the electrli
railroad depot ou the mnln street
has survived a very iet J nn I tie
elded Improvement of 'lie treei. ami
hits been tenderly deposited In a
sheltered place nearby.
The reason Is that the old bench
was used for years by aged men, who
used It to sun themselves while they
discussed local and national proli
lent. Town wiseacre dubbed them
the -,I Remember When" rlub.
When the bench waa threatened
the "I Remember When" club got
busy. Other landmarks fell like
snow mounds before the sun, but the
bench remained.
