GOV. LEE AND THE SD. NATL GUARDS.
On our first page we print letter
from Licut. Col. Keller to Gov. Lee.
Some three weeks have elapsed since
it was mailed to the Governor, and as
he has seen fit to entirely ignore the
matter, the letter ia now made public.
The question involved is a public mat
ter, and we believe Lieut.. Col. Keller
has taken the right course in giving
US this letter for publication.
Col. Ruth and Lieut.. Col. Keller are
officers in an organization created un-
der state sanction and support, and de-
signed to serve the public welfare and
defense. Crises are liable to arise at
any time when the State Militia would
be called upon to perform service in
yolving most serious results to every
citizen of the state. 1t is entirely
proper then that the appointment and
removal of it's officers, as we'll as the
general control of its movements,
should be vested in the chief executive
OF the state. This power is placed In
his hands, however, us a public trust.
and his oath OF office binds him to ad.
minister that trust in accordance with
the laws regulating that department
Of the public service. Those laws in
this case are embodied not only in the
statute relating to the control OF the
state militia service, but also in the
more permanent and binding form OF
the State Constitution. Lieut.. Col.
Keller has not only military and
legal, but also constitutional right to
make the demand upon Gov. Lee which
he has. Gov. Lee has no authority to
remove an officer OF the National
Guards without due process. Not only
that, but rs Lieut.. Col. Keller clearly
points out in his letter, he violates his
oath OF Office in neglecting to follow
the statute made and provided for such
cases. Lieut.. Col. Keller has not only
a right to demand court marshal, but
It is also moth his legal and moral right
to retain his present position until
removed by due process Of law. He
has laid the issue fairly and squarely
before the Governor, and now before
the public, and the issue must be met.
We regret exceedingly If there are
any personal or partisan elements in
vOlved in the case, as Lieut.. Col. kel-
Ter intimates. The issue, however, IL
altogether too grave to be decided
upon such grounds. In brief it is ex.
actly this: Lieut.. Col. Keller, rs q
public officer. duly appointed and com.
missioned, makes the almost unnecessa-
ry announcement Justified only by the
Governors previous action that he
will discharge the duties of that posi-
ton until removed by due process OF
law and for cause. 1t is his duty to do
40, and it is the sworn duty of the Gov
ernor also to support him in thus dis
charging his duty.

A LIVELY NEIGHBoRHooD
A Dispute Over Crop Of Hay Leads
to Trouble

Calabasas has again maintained its
reputation as a lively little burg. Harry
Branscomb, a few days ago. raised
point Of difficulty with neighbor named
Melendez over the ownership of a field
of hay. The former claimed that he had
plowed the ground, sowed the seed. and
was going to reap the crop. That seemed
fair, but the latter contended that as he
owned the land the crop was his. and he
was going to have 1t. Realizing that
there was about to be trouble, Melendez
sent to Ballona for Deputy Constable
Hughes in order that he might keep
Branscomb quiet while he got in the
crop of hay. Hughes obeyed the sum-
mons and secreted himself in house
near the ground of dispute. When Mel
endez, however, was about to move
load of hay from the field Branscomb
rushed up around with club and defied
Melendez to daily any further with his
hay crop. Then Hughes emerged from
his retreat and. with six shooter in his
hand, made Branscomb his prisoner.
That was first score for Melendez, but
things were evened up somewhat when
Branscomb had Hughes arrested on the
charge of battery.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant
District Attorney Williams, at Gala
basas on Tuesday, when the above cir
were set forth Despite the
fact that Hughcs was acting in his Off
cial capacity the jury decided against
Melendez by finding Hughes guilty as
and the justice inflicted fine
of $50 with the alternative of twenty-four
days in Jail. Hughes has appealed the

Resurfacing of Main Street

A petition is being circulated against
the proposed resurfacing of Main street,
from First to Ninth street, with asphalt,
and is being quite numerously signed.
The matter is causing considerable feel
ing among the interested property own
ers. Those who favor the work say that
it is a necessity, as the present pave
ment is worn out, and it will cost more
to repair it in the long run than to put
down the new work. The pavement,
they say, under the contract, was to be
only one and half inches of asphalt,
and was guaranteed to last five years,
whereas, it has been in service double
that length of time. The foundation,
they say, is good, and it can be resur-
faced for cents square foot, and they
claim that those who are opposed to the
work are getting signatures to the pro-
test by representing that it will cost 90
cents. They further say that they have
put in electric lights in front of this
property, and are trying to build up the
street, and think that all should work
together. Those opposed say that the
work ia not absolutely necessary, and
Should be deferred until the times get
better. They think that the street can
be sufficiently repaired by the city to
answer for the time being. and that hav
ing once paid for pavement, the city
should keep it up. In the meantime the
council has ordered the street superin-
tendent to make no further repairs. And
there the matter stands

Spring Street Improvement

1t is not believed that there will be any
very vigorous protest against the re-
surfacing with asphalt of Spring street,
from Temple to Ninth streets. Mr.. T..
D. Stimson yesterday called at the street
superintendent's office to urge that the
matter be pushed as expeditiously az
possible. Mr.. Stimson not only wants
the street resurfaced, but he wants a
new sewer laid. The street, he says, has
already outgrown the present sewer, and
every new building erected makes the
situation that much worse. He there
fore wants the present surface removed,

a new sewer constructed of sufficient
capacity for present and future neces-
stiles of the street. all gas and water
mains laid and conduits provided for
the telephone and telegraph wires. after
which a two-inch covering of asphalt
should be put down. This, in Mr..
Stimeon's opinion, is good business
proposition, and property owners would
make money by it. After the asphalt
surface is put down it should not be al
lowed to be torn up.
