CORRUPT PRACTICES LAW.
rHATEVER else may be said of the corrupt practices
act, no one can dispute tne iacc mat it is propeny
it is rjilcnlated to Dromote corrupt prac
tice Tr. was pnnppivetl in idiocv and born in ignor
ance. It assumes that all men are criminal and proceeds
to place any strays that are not in the criminal class. It
is unintelligible, uncertain, foolish and unnecessary, and
on top of its utter asininity offers a premium on crime.
It is hard to believe that anything short of a committee
drafted it, for to concede to one man the amount of silli
ness required to perfect the whole, is to credit him with
the concentrated damphoolishness of a school for the
feeble-minded in the land of Bushmen.
Take a look at the statements made by many of the can
didates, and see how strictly they obey the law. We do
not refer to any one or any dozen, but to all. Some of you
who read this received from one to three or more letters
from candidates asking your support or sending you lit
erature. The amount the law allows to be expended would
not cover postage, let alone the printing and work of fold
ing, addressing and mailing.
When U'Ren framed this, his most absurd product, he
wisely left a hole where the candidate could drive through
with a wagon load of expenses if he saw fit to do so. The
law provides that committees and friends may spend all
kinds of money, and there are always plenty of friends to
do this if some one will furnish the money.
Whatever portions of the law are not idotic are vicious,
and some of its provisions are both. As a sample of the
work of the U'Ren incubator, it should not serve to secure
him any votes for the office to which he aspires.
HOW IT SEEMS TO BE UP IN THE AIR.
AETERLINCK, who went up in an airship, says that
flying is a morning prayer in an azure cathedral.
Caruso, who tried to sing while flying, found it was
impossible, but the experience was "Magnifico!
Magnif ico !"
If only some other men who are still "up in the air"
would tell how it seems, the world would be entertained
and enlightened. There is Huerta, for example, who must
be looking for a soft place on which to light, and the col
onel, who is quite sure that he flying straight toward the
goal with his aeroplane under perfect mastery. It would
be interesting, however, to have him elaborate his ejacu
lation that it is "Bully !" The word is expressive, but it
is too concise and compact for ordinary comprehension,
and it leaves too much to the imagination.
Of all men, whose sensations at the present moment the
world would like most to know, King George stands easily
first. If he is not "up in the air," he is in a predicament
that he would describe neither as "bully" or "magnifico,'
nor as like "a morning prayer in an azure cathedral." Be
set by the suffragists on one side and by the home rulers
on the other and confronted by the most momentous prob
lem that a British monarch has faced since the American
colonies revolted, he has need of all the powers of state
craft which the greatest of his ancestors possessed. But
he is sitting tight in the flying machine with Asquith at
the helm and hoping that he can alight safely.
The latest news from Mexico is to the effect that it is
reported that it is believed that Huerta is said to have
intimated that he was preparing to think about getting
ready to arrange for deciding upon some plan for present
ing a statement as to the conditions he would consider as
warranting him in submitting preliminary proposals as
to tho terms on which he would take under advisement his
discussing the matter of his retirement from the" presi
dency. Thia is not hilariously encouraging, but it shows
that material progress is being made toward the solution
of the Mexican situation.

Actual work on the survey of possible routes for the
Alaskan railroad to be built by the government has begun.
The first stake was driven at Chitina, Tuesday, on the line
from that point to the Matanuska coal fields. Uncle Sam
uel will eventually own all the railroads and other public
utilities, and the old man is trying the first wearing of
his long clothes in far-off Alaska. When he gets used to
his new garments, he will wear them in public and forget
his embarrassment. .-.V " ' -. .
The latest reports from the Lassen baby volcano is that
it is not a volcano at all, but that the blowout was caused
by the heavy snows which melting poured a lot of water
down the throat of the crater, and as it was not used to
that kind of drink, it objected. The water coming in con
tact with the heated rocks down In the interior of the
mountain caused the steam, which, being ejected, in turn
caused the report of volcanic activities.
The question as to what flag Ireland will float once she
secures home rule, is being discussed, and While no one
can say what the flag will be, it is not a hard guess as to
what it will not be. Our guess is that it will not be any
shade of yellow.
Some people who believe in auto suggestion, that is,
when it suggests purchasing an auto, would have to go
twice into their pockets to get the price for oil enough to
keep the family wheelbarrow from squeaking.'
Already some of the candidates are beginning to realize
that one of the most sensible songs ever 'written has a
refrain that reiterates again and again "God save me
from my friends."

CONSTRUCTIVE reform

organization interprets tho move
ment, defends it against misrepre
sentation and works for its realiza
tion. THIS 13 THE FUNCTION WHICH
THE NATIONAIr-' SOCIETY FOR
THE PROMOTION-OP INDUSTRIAL
EDUCATION HAS PERFORMED
FOR THE VITALLY IMPORTANT
CAUSE, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
THE SOCIETY HAS BEEN INSTRU
MENTAL IN CREATING A PUBLIC
OPINION APPRECIATIVE OF THE
POSSIBILITIES OF VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION. IT HAS BEEN HELP
FUL IN PROMOTING LEGISLA
TION, BOTH STATE AND FEDER
AL, TO SECURE TO THE MASSES

PROPER THING NOW IS TO
PEEL OFF OILED 8KIN
Those who abhor sticky, greasy,
shiny, streaked complexions should re
ligiously avoid creams, powders and
rouges during tho heated days. There's
no neod for them, anyway, since tho
virtues of mercoliied wax have become
known. No amount of perspiration will
produce any evidence that you've been
using the wax. As it is applied at bed
timo and washed off in the morning,
the complexion never looks like a make
up. Mercolized wax gradually takes off
a bad complexion, instead of adding
anything to mako' it worse" It has
nono of the disadvantages of cosmetics
and accomplishes much more in keep
ing the complexion beautifully white,
satiny and youthful.' Just get nn ounce
of it nt your druggist's and see what
a few dnys' treatment .will do. Use
Uko cold cream.
Another effective summer treatment
hent tending to cause wrinkles and
flnbbiness is a skin-tightener made by
dissolving one ounce of powdered saxo
lite in i pint of witch hazel. Its use
(as a face bath) leaves no trace.

We do not manufacture Red Crown to
sell at any set price. We make the best
gasoline that our experience and resources
I enable us to produce. The quality of the
gasoline determines its price not the price
its quality.
The Gasoline of Quality
That is why Red Crown may cost you a
little more per gallon also why it costs you
less per mile. Red Crown is a product of
the best California crude distilled and re
" distilled a product of straight refining, not
a mixture. , It's absolute uniformity avoids
readjustments of the carburetor and assures
full power and mileage always. Make it a
practice to ask for Red Crown.

dealers handling Red Crown Gasoline.
Watch for the sign or ask our nearest agency

Plain Speaking
I used to say just what I thought,
on every mortal theme, and life was
hectic then and hot, and every day a
scream. I tried to show I had no fears
of any human foes; and people often
pulled my cars, or
else they punched
my nose. But I was
not dismayed,
thereat, nor humbled
yet, by hock! And
people often jammed
my hat clear down
around my neck. My
head was bloody but
unbowed, a s said
some mnrtinl toff,
ami every time I
mot a crowd they'd
kiok my contrails
off. '(A soul un
daun ted still I
have," I often would declaim; and then
I'd buy a quart of salvo to spread up
on my frame. In time one wearies of
Such strife, however hold his soul, and
so, to gain a peaceful life I canned my
riggmnrole. Instead of shooting off my
bile at every timo and place, I bought
a largo elastic smile, and wore it on
my face. And though I still had burn
ing thoughts, I kept the blamed things
down, and no one heard the canstic
shots for which I'd won renown. And
now all. day I dance And sing, and peo
