THERE is some thing which looks very

very conspicuous positions near the

Few districts have been so unfortu :
ate in their Congressional experience as
the old Fourth of California, which
comprised Los Angeles and the other
Southern counties. In the person of

sibly, member of our own, some out.
side Congressman would have taken
compassion ON us and seen that cur
claims upon the attention OF the several
departments of the government received
due recognition. For more than year
past Mr.. Pacheco never showed his
nose in Washington. While nominally
member OF the Congress of the United
States, he was in reality philandering
away his time in Mexico and in other
places where he should not have been.
Had it not been for the indefatigable
good nature of Hon. James T. Farley
we should have been in very lamenta-
BILE plight. For over year Los Angeles

IT was Daniel o'Connell, a very devout
Roman Catholic. who said that he took
his religion but not his politics from the
Vatican. The impetus which tho Pope's
late circular has given to the Parnell
fund indicates that the great body OF
Irish Catholics have come 10 O'Connell's
conclusion. While the Pope Is regarded
with profound respect as the spiritual
head Of their church by Irish Catholics
his influence in Irish politics seems to
amount to very little. There are multi.
tudes of devoted friends Of Pope Leo
and the Roman See who think that the
Pontif has made great mistake in
