THE SKIRT STORE, 121 No. 11th
Announce Their Annual
Clearing Sale.
The Sale you have been waiting for. The sale that means so much
to every economical woman, a sale of dependable Coats, Suits, Dresses,
Skirts, Petticots and Shirt Waists. Not goods that were bought for sale
purposes, but Coats and Suits of the famous Redfern and Sunshine makes,
at 1-2 price and many instances much less than 1-2 price. Never were
goods of such a quality put on the market at such prices. The size of our
store will not permit us to carry over a single article. Owing to our crowd
ed condition we are compelled to sacrifice every Coat, Suit, Dress, and
Skirt in the house at about the cost of the raw material. A big line of
Suits and Coats, dersiable materials and sensible styles, $15.00 values
for $5.00
A big lot of skirts worth up to $6.00 for : $2.00
Coats and Suits, former values $35 and $40, at. ..$10.00 and $12.00
We can not expect to do the selling through the ad, all all we can
say is come the Skirt Store and save 60 to 75 per cent on your purchases.

Call Bill's Bluff and Make Him
Show His Hand.
Arizona goes to the bat with
the recall on all servants of th
people, notwithstanding the en
deavor to put the judiciary above
any responsiblity to the people.
Indications point to a spasm of
virtue on the part of Taft and
the U. S. Senate that will respect
the constitution if the people of
Arizona pass it, which they are
very likely to do. Arizona called
the bluff of Roosevelt when he
told her that she absolutely must
vote in favor of being admitted
with New Mexico as one state, or
stay out for fifty years. She ob
solutely refused to be bluffed.
The very best thing that could
happen Arizona would be for Taft
to kick her in the face, and the
U. S. Senate to jump on her, and
a lot of U. S. Senators bite" the
dust who did the jumping.
Go to it, Arizona, old gal, and
demand your rights and maintain
them. Don't allow the republican
has-beens and corporation sena
tors to bluff you down for a min
ute. Stay with them till skating
is good on the Yuma river, and
Phoenix has five feet of snow.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?
The unionists of Los Angeles
are fighting for the simple right
to have an equal voice with em
ployers in the disposition of their
labor. Ihey are going hungry
to defend this righteous orinciole.
They are being jailed without
warrant, beaten by brutal police
men and railroaded to prison for
contempt. Heard any Los An
geles ministers denouncing the
brutalities practiced upon the
wage earners who love justice
enough to die in its defense if
necessary. Heard any prayers
being offered up in behalf of the
men who are making a gallant
fight against greed and oppres
sion? Any collections taken up
in Los Angeles churches to feed
the women and children who get
just as hungry in Los Angeles as
the heathen s do in China or In
dia? Mighty palatial churches in
Los Angeles. Lofty spires, gild
ed roofs, stained glass windows,
pipe organs, cushioned pews
evrv thine calculated to make de
votional exercises quite as easy
as sitting in one s comfortable
home. But all the practical re
ligion that seems to be coming
from such churches does not. ap
parently, go very far towards al
leviating the distress forced upon
the wage earners of the city of
Los Angeles by the greed and
rapacity of the men who occupy
the front pews.
