The father OF the WOod.
Through winter storms and summer winds
For centuries have stood
Where meet the ocean and the bay
Which modern men call Monterey
Long, long ago when youth was mine.
Amid the rocks and sand.
grew tall and lonely pine
Within a lonely land;
And watched a single sentinel tree.
Beside an undiscovered sea
Then came rude and savage race
OF simple stolid men.
To make their brief abiding place
Beneath my shade, and then
To wander without thought or care
OF wiser peoples otherwhere.
But 10 cne eve beside the sun
A wide sail glistened white;
A loud and unaecustomed gun
Resounded through the night:
At nom Cabrillos vessels lay
Within the broad arms Of the bay
The fateful storm, the breakers roar
Forbade the Spaniards stay.
And warned him from the friendly shore;
But ere he bore away.
He swept its surf-encroled lines
And ehristened this THE Bay of Pines
Anon across the western sky
From Orient lands of sun,
and isles of spice, came creeping by
The freighted galeon
And hovering flescely on its wake
The pirate fleet Of Francis Drake.
Ariew-born century saw the ships
Which bold Vzcaino bore,
Rise where the dim horizon Dips
Seeking this wooded shore;
And heard amid my forest dim.
The Carmelite chant his solemn hymn.
The Spanlard went and solitude
Resumed her ancient reign
Over the ocean, bay and wood
The waning power of Spain
6ade no bold captains to the west
To scourge its seas or break its rest
The San Francisco call., 1896-12-25


Crossed my. horizon lines:
No State its bloody flag unfurled
Among my peaceful pines:
The savage grandsire mumbled DER
dim tradition by the shore.
So orept the sleepy years along
Until one bright May morn
Through the wide woodland went song
On scented bSeezes borne:
II was the mission fathers, come
To seek settlement and home
fhey built their church beside the sand
And swung the mission bell.
Which answered back across the land.
From Carlos to CARMEL
To virgin Wales they gave increase,
TO savage souls they whispered peace.
But all too soon the evil strife
OF men from many elimes
Destroyed the peaceful mission life
And filled the land with crimes,
While stronger peoples watched the prize
Of these rich shores with lnstful eyes.
One summer morn stately ship
Sailed up the sunlit iay.
Haunting flag which did not dip
To other flag that day;
But high uplifted on the shore.
Proclaimed the old dominion o'er
Beneath that banners ample fold
Gathered with swift increase
restless race athirst for gold
Yet skilled in arts of peace.
And strong to found, in laws secure
An ordered State which should endure
For gold they delve in mountain mines
For god they sift the sand
They make the valleys laugh in vines
And till the fertile land
To freight their ships for every Shore
Whose trade may swell their golden store.
But when. their weary spirits spent
In that mad race for wealth,
They sigh for peace and sweet content.
And seek for rest and health
To my wide woods beside the bay
They come and dream their cares away
And wandering in my forest dim.
Or lingering by the shore
They seem to hear the solemn hymn
The fathers sung of yore
While echoes of a mission bell
Creep through the pines from old Carmel - -

Ordinance Authorizing the Park
Board to Issue Certificates for the
Purchase Of Holmes Square
Goes to the Mayor.

The deadlock between the two houses
of the council on the police pay roll still
continues. The lower house last night re-
fused to agree to the action OF the upper
house in passing the June and July pay
rolls on the basis of $4,000 The lower
house insisted upon the basis of $4,000 for
the two months.
A spirited debate took place upon the
confirmation of the contract of the new
asphalt paving company for paving Wash
inston street from Tenth to Thirteenth.
Councilman Wolf wanted the ordinance re-
ferred in order to investigate charges that
Dave Mccormick, one of the two brothers
who will do the paving, had not fulfilled
his obligations as bondsman in the mat
several years ago. Mr. Mccormick was
present and stated that he was ready to
pay his share. but did not think he ought
to pay the whole cost of repairing the
street. After further discussion lie con-
tract was confirmed and for the hrst time
in years asphalt pavement will be laid by
a company other than the Barber COM
pany.
The members seemed to be in talka-
tive mood and when the ordinance for va

Upper House.

The ordinance providing for the issuance
of park certificates upon the property of
the South park district, to pay for property
condemned for Holmes square. came before
the upper house and was passed by unan-
imous vote, all members being present save
Alderman Eyssell. Before the vote was
taken there was demand for an elucida-
ton of the certificate system. Upon request
of President Graham, A. r. Meyer. member
of the park board, addressed the house, ex-
planning the intent of article 10 of the city
charter, which provides for the condemna-
ton of property for park purposes. A num-
ber of questions were asked of Mr.. Meyer
concerning the probable market for the
certificates. which were satisfactorily an
swered. He said that purchasers could un-
doubtedly be found in Massachusetts and
New York.
An ordinance seeking to restore the sal
aries of the fire department to the $3.50. 600
basis was introduced and referred to the
fire committee. This is a consequence of
the $4,000 additional appropriation made to
the department fund at recent meeting of
the council.

Speaker, a depositor of the bank. and one
dotte county for it's deposits. Late last
evening Speaker went to the home of Reg
lister of Deeds o. w. Shepherd in Kansas
City, Kas., and had him go and open up
the Office SO that he could file deed trans
ferring all Of his property to another per-
son.
At o'clock in the afternoon Speaker ap-
peared before Deputy County Attorney j.
F. Frankey, of Argentine. and had a COM
plant drawn up against Taylor. He signed
it and then went before Justice H. NJ. Herr
and caused the warrant to be issued In
the complaint Speaker claims that as late
as last Tuesday evening he made deposit
of $40 in the bank and that Cashier Taylor
received it. He claims that Taylor knew
at that time that the bank was insolvent
He had indorsed as witnesses on the COM
plant Charles Green, Henry Boergsted and
A. Yearnshaw, all business men in Argen-
tine.
When the warrant was issued, 1t was
handed to Constable Welsh for service,
and he went direct to Kansas City, Kas.,
where he thought the cashier was stop
ping. He understood that Taylor was at
the home of Assistant Cashier J. F.
Barker. but he was mistaken. Taylor left
there at noon yesterday Several other
friends of Taylor were called upon by the
officer. but they did not know where the
cashier was. Taylor told the assistant
cashier when he left his home that he was
going over to Argentine. His whereabouts
Is a mystery. 1t is the general opinion,
however. that the cashier is just hiding
oGt until he can arrange for bond, and
that he will then surrender to the authori-
ties. 1t Is believed this will come about
to-day. The warrant was issued SO late In
the afternoon that Mr.. Taylor realized
that he could not arrange the bond, and

evaded the officers for that purpose.

FREE COINAGE OF WORDS.
Iudfanapolf. Judge Decides That the
Constitution Guarantees IT.
Calls the Police on.

Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. H.-For ten days
a great crowd has collected on the post
Office corner discussing the financial ques-
ton. The discussions frequently lasted un-
til midnight. AS fast as one speaker
wearied another filled the gap. The police
made numerous and futile efforts to scatter
the disputants, and finally made several
arrests. Two cases came before Judge cox,
of the city court, and the last time, with
much impatience, he discharged the de-
fendants, holding there was no decision by
any court, high or low, where 1t is held
that a man violates the law by discussing
politics on the street.
ION the contrary" continued the court,
..all of the decisions are the other way.
The right of free speech is fundamental in
our constitution, and must not be denied.
No police force can stop it. 1t is the right
of American citizens. This Is time when
perplexing questions are puzzling the peo-
Pile 1t is only by ample discussion of the
questions that confront them that they can
learn properly TO exercise their right OF
franchise. They have the right to discuss
these questions and the court will protect
them"
The court also criticised the policy of the
police in interfering with these street cor
ner talks by using the ordinance against
sidewalk obstruction as an engine of op-
preston. He warned the Officers that fur
ther arrests would be useless, as the de-
| PENDANTS would not be punished.
The financial debates are still being held.
