THE NAVAL RESERVE.

The sailing of the naval battalion on the
white cruiser Olympia for ten days prac-
tice at Santa Cruz is matter of no little
significance. 1t brings to the public mind
a realization of the strength of the Republic
on sea as well as on land Similar bat
talions have been formed on the coasts of
both oceans, on the lakes and on the gulf;
and, though but recently organized, they
constitute force which in the aggregate
forms strong defense for the country in
case of war.
The battalion which has just sailed is
composed of Ito men. Young, alert, vigor-
Gus, ardent in the service they have under
taken, they presented fine appearance as
they lined up on the wharf preparatory to
embarking, and gave evidence of having
profted much by the drill they have
already had. The practice cruise will of
course be of great benefit to them in many
ways, and will go far to render them more
effective if called upon to do service in
actual war. On board the cruiser they will
be directly under the discipline of the
regular navy, and while the ten days of
the practice may be pleasure to them it
will be no holiday trip by any means.
Among the advantages to be derived
from a cruise of this kind will be an in
creased public interest in the organization
itself. This will of course assist in strength-
ening the membership by awakening the
ardor of young men in the service. 1t is
to San Francisco of course that the Pacific
Coast must look for the main strength of
her naval reserve, and fortunately the bat
talon already organized is strong enough
and excellent enough to give assurance
that those who look to US with such expec-
tations will not be disappointed.

dental information impaired to 1t in the
ordinary course OF its business.
The action has evidently sprung from
Two considerations-one that the useful
ness OF the press could be enlarged by
guarding lnformants against exposure, and
the other that the privilege would not be
abused either by the press or by inform
ants. The first of these considerations Is
most pralseworthy; it is in the second that
the weakness lies. Without considering
the possibility that the newspaper itself
might be above the temptation to manu-
tacture information, the real danger exists
In the protection which the contemplated
legislation affords to INSCRIPTIONS or ma
llclous lnformants, who would use the
press for their own ends.
1t is true that one of the constant en-
barrassments under which the press labors
Is the fear OF exposure on the part of IN
formants. While well-informed persons
have no fear that the newspaper would
violate confidence, under the present
laws the newspaper can be forced TO dis
close its source of information. This is

evils that would more than offset the good.
Individual accountability is one OF the
foundations of our Government and every
effort to weaken it should be most care
fully considered. A broad spirit of gen.
erosity has clearly induced this action by
the league, for it desires to shield its in
formants against personal accounta bility
without in the least lessening its own re-
sponsibllity, but it is seriously questiona-

FEAST OF ST. ANTHONY.
Seventh Centenary of His Birth CeIe-
brated by the franciscan
Fathers.

Several events of more than ordinary re-
ligious interest were solemnly celebrated
at St. Boniface Church, on Golden Gate
avenue, yesterday. Seven hundred years
ago st. Anthony, to whom special venera-
ton is paid by members of the Franciscan
order, was born, and the seventh centenary
of his birth was one event. The feast of
Corpus Christi, which occurs on the Thurs
day following Trinity Sunday in the Cath
olic calendar, was another.
For two months past those of the congre-
cation so inclined have been performing
the novena of nine Tuesdays, that is GER
tain religious exercises on each of the nine
Tuesdays preceding his feast, eliminating
with special services on the feast dav
itself. As ST. Anthony is no less revered
by the Franclscans than their founder.
hundreds Jhronged the church morning
and evening.
Three masses were celebrated in the
morning, commencing at o'clock with a
o. S. f., was the celebrant; Father Ed.
mund, 0. S. F., deacon; Father Titus, o.
s. F., sub-deacon, and Father Athanasius,
y. 5. f., master OF ceremonies The alta RS
were beautifully decorated and special
music was rendered by the choir.
To the right of the main altar shrine
pedIlHS STATUE OF St. Anthony was
erected. ST. Joseph lilies. roses. lighted
candles and fairy lamps with different
colored globes made very pretty picture.
The main altar and the side affairs were
also Respondent with lights and flowers.
The sermon was preached by Father
Macmillan in German, He treated of the
life of st. Anthony, dwelling upon the
favors obtained by his intercession, both of
spiritual and temporal nature. He also
treated OF the observance of the feast of
Corpus Christi and the happy result of the
coincidence of two such notable feasts on
the same day.
AT the conclusion OF the mass a process
sion was formed. First came the Sodal1ty
of the Holy Childhood, composed of the
young girls of the church, each carving a
basket of flowers, which they strewed in
the path of the procession. Next came
the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, com
posed OF young, ladies, and Immediately
following them, dressed in white and with
lighted candles in their hands and wells
| and wreaths upon their heads, were the
children who made their first communion
last Sunday.
In the evening solemn yespers were sung
and the affairs were again ablaze with
light: Another novena was commenced,
which will conclude on Friday of next
| week. Its close will also be marked by
| special exercises.
At st. Anthony's Church, on Twenty
sixth and Army streets, which is also in
charge OF the Franciscan fathers, similar
ceremonies were observed. Being the feast
day OF the patron saint of the church
elaborate preparation was made for its
| celebration by Father Leo o. S. F., the
pastor. Solemn high mass, a procession
and vespers were the features of the SER
vices.

THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

The final report of the Grand Jury just
filed is a monument alike of the industry
Of the men who composed that body and
to the inutility of the Grand Jury system
itself. 1t resem bles very much those party
platforms which point with pride" or
view with alarm" but which furnish no
definite principles of right or remedies OF
wrong, and begin and end with wordy
declarations ''full OF sound and fury, signi-
flying nothing"
This is not the fault of the men who are
selected by lot from the body of responsible
citizens to compose the Grand Jury. 1t is
the fault of the system, which confines
their energies to certain narrow and anti
quated methods of inquiry and action
causes their meetings to be subject to the
suspicion and reproach of unfairness
which attend all secret and star chamber
proceedings, and when finally their report
is filed makes them modern example of
the mountain which labored and brought
forth mouse.
OF these several suggestions of ineffi-
cheney in the Grand Jury system the re-
port just presented supplies fitting ex-
ample. The Grand Jury has been in
session for the past half year. 1t has cost
the City and County of San Francisco
several thousand dollars in the fees of it's
members and the expenses of its ses-
sions. 1t has held. meetings which have
been secret and has there conducted in
quiries and heard evidence of the char
acter or purpose of which the public were
supposed to know nothing. 1t has had
under review whatever matter its mem
bers might see fit to investigate 1t has
made a report in which there is not a
single conceded fact which is not old to
the public mind, and not a disputed
charge upon which new light is shed.
1t points with pride to the acts
of certain courts and officials and
views with alarm the alleged misdeeds
of others, but after all is said the praised
and the censured are neither higher nor
lower in the estimation OF the public than
they were before. In word, what is good
in the report is not new, and what is new
therein is not universally conceded to be
good. The interviews with several of the
officials who did not find favor with the
Grand Jury go far to show that secret
and e1-parte investigation is not the best
way of arriving at either correct or an
unbiased conclusion of the facts of the
case under review
One of the worst features of the Grand
Jury system would seem to be the inability
OF the body to carry into effect those of its
suggestions which are admitted to be good.
Its power appears to be exhausted in
recommendations addressed to nobody in
particular, and in some cases at least i'm
possible of practical adoption. There was
a time when the sole power of Indictment
was vested In the Grand Jury, and its
utlllty Tor this purpose was apparent.
But the growth of modern legal methods
has evolved the better plan of proceeding
by information, with an open examination
OF the charge, and the old method of in
dictment has been relegated to the rear.
The whole Grand Jury system might well
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-14

have gone with it. The common-sense of
the American citizen objects to secrecy in
public proceedings; to one sided hearings
upon issues involving the property rights,
the private characters or the public
acts of men; to official reports
based upon incomplete evidence or upon
the preiudiced testimony of witnesses
whose dishonesty of motive or falsity Of
speech has not been exposed to the cruel
BILE of cross examination. If the society
of the present requires censor it can be
supplied with one in a much less expen-
sive and useful form than that of a Grand
Jury, shorn as it has been of its ancient
utility by the growth of modern ideas Of
justice and liberty and law
