Free coinage of silver means that
the government shall coin without
cost to the owner all silver bullion
which he brings to the mint, or pur-
chased it from him outright and then
coin it for the government. A person
may take 500 worth of standard gold
bullion to the mint and receive $500
in gold coin for it, or he may have it
Roined for him without expense. That
is free coinage. So of any amount.
But the law applies only to gold.
Silver bullion is purchased in the open
market and then coined for the gov
eminent in limited quantities. The law
requires the coinage of from two mil
lion to four million silver dollars per
month and no more, with as much
smaller coin as may be needed. What
friends of free coinage want is, that
silver shall be treated just as gold is,
to the end that the people may have
more money to use.

In spite of the universal grasping
for gold the word is nearer to being
civilized than it aver was before. Men
are beginning to understand that
whether they will or not they are
their brothers keeper, and to the ex-
tent that they do not help him when
they have the power, to that extent
will they themselves suffer. 1t is the
memorable law of nature that one man
cannot be permanently happy or pros
porous while another is in pain Or
want. The literature of the time shows
that, in some shape or form, the wei.
fare of the masses is engaging the at
tention of the thinkers of all lands,
and at last even of the rich men them.

A Little Heroine.

Jeanne Victoire Snooke, 10 years of
age, the daughter Of 9. Snooke, of Ports
mouth. England, was on April 90, 1920,
with her brother James, aged 4 years,
on the landing stage Of the old sallyport
at Portsmouth, place which is favor
ite resort of children. Suddenly Jeanne
was startled by the fact that her brother
had fallen into the water, which was then
twelve feet deep. Without moments
thought about self, Jeanne sprang into
the sea to the rescue. The struggle was
great. and both of the little ones sank
and rose to the surface continually, but
the brave elder child never quilted her
hold of her brother. The tide was run
ming strong and carried them away from
the stage, and both must have been
drowned had not b. Craven, of the
chamberlain's Office, Portsmouth, who
was coming out of the harbor in a boat,
gone to their rescue and got the half
drowned, struggling children out Of the
water. For this act of bravery Miss
Snooke was, on the Goth of May follow
ing. awarded the honorary first class GER
tificate of the Royal Humane society,"

NON-SUITED
With Leave to Amend a Complaint
Against a Railroad Company.

With Leave to Amend a Complaint
Against a Railroad Company.
]. R. Sayers was non-suited yesterday
in department three, in his suit against
the California Central for $4,000. He
had bought ticket on May 18th, 1887,
but did not attempt to use it until
March Sd. 1888. The company refused
to accept it because it was over six
months old. He had to buy another
ticket. The plaintiff asked leave to
amend his complaint, and this was
granted upon the understanding that he
should pay the costs up to date. The
cause Of the permission to amend
knocked out the point which is usually
believed, that an unlimited" railroad
ticket is good until used, no matter how
long time may intervene between the
date of its purchase and of its use. The
judge cited section 400 of the civil code,
which provides that ticket must be
used within six months of the purchase.
Judge Wade admitted the point and re-
fused to admit any testimony until the
complaint was amended.

jews Going to Palestine.

A convention of delegates representing
the largest Jewish colonies in thirty-six
different cities Of Russia met ten months
ago, and after long discussion they
gave a unanimous vote for Palestine as
their future home.
The change that such an emigration
would produce on the holy Land can
not be overestimated. One million new
workers would turn the barren hills Of
Judea into terraced vineyards. The
olive trees of the past would again spring
forth, and the whole land would blossom
like the red poppies that cover the
plains of Sharon. It would mean the
adding Of 100 per cent. to the population
of the land occupied by ancient Pales-
tine. and it would make Jerusalem a
city Of more than 100, 900 people.
The Holy City has been growing with
almost American rapidity within the
past few years, and an exodus Of the
Jews from all parts Of the world to it is
slowly but surely going on.-Frank G.
Carpenter in National Tribune.

BALLONA ALL RIGHT.
The Success Of the Harbor Project
Put Beyond Question.

The Success Of the Harbor Project
Put Beyond Question.
Ballona harbor is getting there with
great alacrity. A meeting of the stock
holders was held yesterday and the fol-
lowing board of directors elected: Louis
Mesmer, Juan Bernard, Joseph Mesmer,
James Campbell and William Lacy.
The directors met at once and selected
officers as follows: President. Louis
Mesmer; vice-president, Juan Bernard !;
secretary and treasurer, George Engles !;
general manager, James Campbell.
The board also adopted resolution
increasing the capital stock from $500 900
to 81 900 900, and sixty per cent of the
new issue was subscribed for at once,
and offers received for the most of the
remainder, which will be decided on at
the next meeting.
Mr.. ]. Campbell has been with this
great project from it's infancy, and in
spite of numberless obstacles has placed
it in position where its success is as
sured. He has interested powerful capi-
talists, and he thoroughly understands
his business. He deservedly has the
confidence of his associates and will
certainly make Ballona scene of mari
time activity, and blessing to Los
Angeles.

TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
10 What the Cotton Motor Road
Cleared Last Month,

SSASo A8SS AOuGU.
Receiver 1. HI. Polk, receiver Of the
Cotton motor road, has managed it so
veil that last month it cleared $4,000
above expenses. The San Francisco
Newsletter says of it: Receiver 1. H.
Polk, of the Cotton Riverside road, is
live and practical man. Several months
ago he was appointed receiver by Judge
Ross. OF the United States circuit court.
he found q road swamped with debts
and earning little, the traffic being en-
tlrely passenger. He set to work and
succeeded in putting it in good shape.
he has paid current expenses, has $4,000
in the treasury, has procured franchise
which permits him to do a general
freight business, has extended his tracks
to connection with those Of the South
ern Pacific company, and is in fair way
70 make the property pay handsomely.
So well are the creditors, bondholders
and stockholders pleased With Folks
management of the road that they wish
him to stay with it after it gets out OF
the hands of the court"
Mr.. Polk has been long and favorably
known as an efficient railroad manager
on this coast, to which he came some l3
years ago. His railroad experience,
some 20 years, has been gained under
the able direction of such men as H. M.
Hoxie and A. N. Towne, whose repu-
tations are world wide. Both Judge
Ross and the parties interested in the
above railroad, are to be congratulated
upon having secured Mr.. Folks SER
vices.
