TO ESTABLISH AN ORGAN.

Charles Freeman Johnson of San
Francisco is special agent Of the United
States office of Road Inquiry, Depart
ment Of Agriculture and Is Acting Sec
retary Of the National League for Good
Roads.
Mr.. Johnson proposes to start a pa
per. This was Of course to be expected.
AS soon as a movement is we'll on its
feet papers spring UP to advocate it as
thick as grasshoppers, and the individ-
uals who start them present themselves
to the world in the light of philanthro-
pists, not of course intending to make
any money out of the movement, but
claiming patronage because they are
going to promote it,
And so the publications at the East
are advertising Mr. Johnson's magazine
undertaking, and Mr.. johnson himself
is appealing to all the people who want
good roads, and assuring them that the

refuses to subscribe for this paper wiz

blowing holes in the good roads already
constructed.
The Christian Endeavor organization
has been the victim of many Journals
The projectors Of these journals ap-

to subscribe In order to promote Chris

write yourself down an enemy of all
practical Christianity. So the Christian
Endeavor field is full of adventurers,
who want to run newspapers on behalf
of that organization
1t is therefore not a surprise that the
good roads movement should at last be
victimzed by the inevitable editor who
starts a paper. not for the purpose of
projecting a private enterprise, but
solely in the interest of the good roads

Judge Hinkson retires from the bench
to a practice awaiting him with the
proud distinction of having done an
important work In elevating the char
acter of the bench in the estimation OF
the people. He proved to them that it
is not always the man who Is most pre-
tentious at the bar who is best fitted for
the judicial office. That dignity, firm
ness, impartiality, studious habit and
thoroughness are what the people re-
spect in their courts and will always
sustain.
Learned in the law, broadminded in
view, sympathetic and tender, inflexible
in the discharge of duty, having Such
profound reverence for the principles OF
justice that nothing could sway him IN
it's admins tration to purposefuAy de-
fleet 1T a hairs breadth from its true
course, Judge Hinksou retires after
brief career on the bench with the re-
spect, admiration and regard of all the
people.
The new Judges of the Superior Court
who come to the bench to f1ll uhe
places vacated by Judges Catlin and
Hinkson are young men to whom the
people will look for course that VIII
win for them as high honors and as
much respect as has been the reward OF
TIE jurists whose seats they are to oc-
cupy, and to earn as high esteem as Is
enjoyed by their colleague, Judge john
sen, whose upright course and judicial
capacity have retained him in the place
of honor and made him the senior of the
new order of the Sacramento bench
With the examples they have had pc
fore them, the ability they are known
to possess and the counsel of the senior
Judge whom the people have honored
by reelection, Judges Hart and Hughes
have before them the opportunity 10

and high honor, and to do the people

Those who have been disposed to
laugh at the demand that the proprie-
ties Of the auditoriums shall be en-
forced by law will look upon the matter
with more seriousness now that the
Legislature of the State of New York
is to soberly consider the bill of Assem-
blyman Wilson of Brooklyn, which de-
clares that Snowman who permits any
of his cusomers to obstruct the view of
any other customer by wearing in the
auditorium headgear causing such OBJ
struction shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor. Evidently the New York
ers are convinced that a policy that
works we'll in Ohio will operate benefi-
cially in the Empire State also. We do
not think that dress reform should have
any place in statutory law, but when
dress becomes a nuisance, infringing
the right of the citizen, it is as much
legitimate subject of legislation as is
disturbance of the peace, or any offens-
i've conduct that is an invasion of hu-
man right. Law should not attempt to
prescribe the style of costume, but it
may very properly declare against any
costume that is indecent, or that con-
stitutes, under certain conditions, a

Little Donald was our darling,
Pride Of all our hearts and lives,
But an angel came and whispered:
Little Donald, dear, come home.
"Oh! we cant give up our darling"
Cry the parents in despair;
But the angel whispers gently,
For this earth he is too fair
Give him back to God in childhood,
Erc the bud it's leaves expand,
There to bloom and shed its fragrance,
In that happy spirit land.
Lift your eyes, fond. weeping parents,
Faith points upward to the sky;
You can meet your darling Donald.
When you lay your armor by
BY HIS GRANpMorHRR.
Just awhile was Donald with US,
Just awhile to teach us why
Jesus loves the little children,
Why he calls them to the sky.
Long enough was Donald with US
To endcar the the little form
To the hearts of all who knew him,
BY his tender love so warm.
Think what error he is freed from,
Think what care he might have known,
Think OF his sweet rest in Heaven,
With the angels round the throne.
When lfe's day for us has faded,
And the night of death has come.
We may meet our darling Donald,
In the bright celestial home.
