Reasons Why the Popular Southern California Regiment Should Be Given a Chance to Face the Foe. The following communication is self-ex- planatory: To the Editor of The Calt: It appears that in the designation of the volunteer regiments for active service abroad it is probable that the Seventh California Regiment, composed of men from all parts of Southern California, is to be al- lowed to remaln within the borders of its own State, while preference is given to regiments from other States, for al- ready on two occasions when it practic- ally received its orders when to depart the orders have been changed and other organizations were substituted. This re- sult will fall as a great blow upon the 1300 men who quitted their homes to go to war; but this feeling will be all the more intensified if they know that the citizens of their State did nothing to prevent it and put forth no efforts ?n their behalf. It is very evident from the results already seen that powerful influences are at work in other States to have as many of their troops sent to the front as pos- sible, so California must follow the same course, If only to protect its just rights. In every way the Seventh is a regiment | of which the State may feel proud, and it can safely be pushed to the front as a representative organization. In drill and camp, routine it equals the best; there are n it men representing just as great an ag- | gregate of capital as in any other regi- | ment sent here; nearly every man left a business, professional practice or perma- | nent employment; the b&havior of the | men in and out of camp has been that of | the respect of all citizens, but also to the iam!\‘e work and influence of every man | who wishes to see our State receive its proper share of recognition. | " Every friend of the National Guard who desires its success in the future should exert himself to see that every man who enlisted from our militia is given a chance to do that for which he volunteered, to go to the scene of war, otherwise the National Guard of the fu- ture will offer no channel for service to our country and will be a mere aggrega- tion of soclally inclined individuals, If it was only to satisfy the ambitions and cravings of the present volunteers in this country our Government could well af- ford to send every one of them abroad for the good effect it would have in furthering speedy enlistments in future wars. CALIFORNIA. RGN, In Praise of Our Heroes. The praises of Dewey, Sampson, Schley and Shafter were sung in a fitting way at the Hamilton-square Baptist Church last evening. The Volunteers of Tennessee ‘w(vre invited to attend, but they did not come. After expressing regret at their fallure to be present Rev. W. C. Jenkins Introduced W. H. Barnes, who Qelivered a most eloquent address. Rev. Mr. Jenkins then spoke. In the course of his remarks he said: “We are here to commemorate the victories of the American army and navy. Glorious have been their victories, but the glory all be- longs to God. The splendid fleets of the Spanish no longer float the seas because right has prevailed, God's cause has been victorious and we $hould offer up thinks- glying to him who In his grace has filled our hearts with courage—courage to stamp oppression and its kindred evils from the world forever.” AEn AR The Montana Boys Entertained The First Montana Regiment was the guest of the Pacific Coast Women'’s Press Association on Saturday evening when the members of the regiment were enter- tained in the large tent in their encamp- ment with a varied and delightful pro- gramme furnished by Mrs. Mary E.

SANDEN'S SUCCESS! Nothing That Has Merit Can Be Kept Down, Some Wonderful Cures. The day hag come when merit only can win. If a man claims that he can cure a weakness or a pain which has existed for years he must back his claim with proof. This is the reason for Dr. Sanden’s great success. He has shown 10,000 testimonials of cures dur- ing the past three years. The people are close at home and can be seen to prove their assertions. Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt is the most popular cura- tive remedy known to-day. It cures, and therefore people prefer it to drugs or the cheap, trashy belts sold in drug stores.
