A SENSATION SPOILED
How Repetition Of a Conversation
Made It Grow

The game of gossip nearly caused q po-
litical sensation of moment one day last
week. 1t was after the Gage meeting at
Santa Ana, when General Barnes. Mr..
Gage and Santa Fe conductor named
Burgher gathered and talked over the
campaign. Mr.. Burgher pointed out to
General Barnes how the campaign was
growing bitter and the exchange of per-
sonalities which had begun to character
ize 1t.
"Oh. this is nothing to the way such
things we're done in the old days." re-
marked Barnes. For example II a man
was then speaking for Gage he would get
up on the platform and commence his
speech something like this: Ladies and
gentlemen. will pass over in silence the
statement that Mr.. Mcguire passed sever
al years Of his early life as an inmate of
the Iowa penitentiary for having murdered
his father. I do not think such matters
should be made the subject of a political
giving the idea that 1t was fact that Ma
guire had been a convict. Then the Ma
guire orator would have arisen and said
probably. Gentlemen. there are some
things which are hardly appropriate for
Such an occasion as this, 1or Iamlly mat
ters are often embarrassing. For exam
Pile, might take advantage of my oppo-
nent and tell you all about the time he was
a South sea pirate and how he killed in
cold blood his six brothers and five sis
ters.'"
Mr.. Burgher repeated General Barnes
description Of some old-time methods, and
1t was told again and again until one man
got 1t that Barnes had made actually the
statement that Mcguire had really been in
an eastern penitentiary. Santa Ana was
all worked up over the story. 1t was tel
egraphed to San Francisco and the poll
ticians were hystericai about 1t from one
end Of the state to the other, when the
factS became known and the bubble was
pricked.

DENIES The SALE STORY
GEN. SHERMAN SAYS THE aANTA
MONICA ROAD Is NOT SOLD
The Same Applies to the Pasadena
Road-No Such Transaction l.
Even Under Consideration

The reported sale of the Santa Monica
and Pasadena electric railway to the
Huntington syndicate, as stated from au-
thorities here and In San Francisco. has
caused considerable interest in financial
circles. The situation now resolves itself
down to exactly contradictory statements
about the matter General M. H. Sher-
man, who, with Z. P. Clark and intimate
friends, owns the whole stock of the Santa
Monica road and a large interest in the
Pasadena road. was seen yesterday at the
Westminster hotel. He expressed himself
most emphatically and unqualifledly In
denial of the whole story.
1.-THE statement published Is wholly un-
true and without basis" he said II did
work for a long time to bring about the sale
of the Los Angeles railway system to Mr..
Huntington and his friends, for I consid-
cred that such a transaction was to the
best interests of all concerned. as well as
a good thing for the city, for the presence
Of such capitalists here is bound to result
In general good. The present company. I
understand. will spend upwards Of half a
million dollars in improvements of the
system. But about the Santal Monica
road, Mr.. Clark myself and some immedi-
ate friends own all of the stock Of that
line, and we have no desire or intention of
selling it, nor do believe that the Hunt
ington syndicate wants to buy any more
lines These views can be applied equally
to the Pasadena road, in which Mr.. Clark
and have also large interests
"Are there any negotiations under way?"
he was then asked.
mo, sir; there is no sale even under dis
cussion. They don't want to buy and we
don't want to sell.''

government and exalted private corpora
tions. Corporations give us gas, water,
electric lighting, etc. The result is that
they employ the ablest men and leave city
government to our worst If you would
purify government you must exalt it.
A city charter should be simple. It should
have one council mayor, who should SIM
ply be the city's executive; it should not
have many departments, but committees
Of the council should conduct the depart
ments- The city should do away with the
contractor and carry out its own works.
The contract system is the scourge and
the defilement Of American cities. The
poorer the work the better for the con-
tractor, because 1t will soon have to be
done over. The result is that our streets
are continually being torn UP for repair.
Garbage Is not removed; streets are not
cleaned. The contract system Is virtue
put up at auction.
The city charter should make a large
place for woman in city affairs. Woman
Is the creator of homes. If q city is to be
city of homes, woman's voice should be

heard. Women are interested In clean
streets, good drainage. city improvements,
good schools. Therefore woman should
have the right Of suffrage, especially in
city elections.
The charter should make careful provi-
sion for the children. Childhood repre-
sents what is to be- The children's pres
ent Is the city's future. The school board
should be the most important department
In the civic life. 1t should be composed
of the ablest men and women, paid suffic-
iently to enable them to give all their time.
Lastly, the charter should care for her
poorer citizens by giving work to those
who have it not on city improvements.
Municipal ownership means large city rev.
enues, with low taxes. These revenues
should be spent in building free baths,
libraries, art galleries, parks, etc., all Of
which will give work to the unemployed.
A city that would do that on large scale
would become the most prosperous city in
America.

VOICES FROM CITY PULPITS
The New Pastor Of the First Presbyterian
Church Occupies His Pulpit
The Rev. c. J. K Jones Also Installed at Unty-Bur Estes
Howard Defines True Priesthood-Dr Bliss
"The Ideal City Charter"

Men may justly criticise our opinions
about Jesus. but they cannot criticise
him. They may resist the force of our
logic, but they cannot resist the force OF
his life. The world is not hostile to Je-
sus, though It repudiates the theories Of
the scribes. If the world is not following
Jesus 1t Is because 1t does not know him.
II in spite of all our preaching and teach
ing, Jesus Is not known, 1t is because we
have substituted the Christ of God for some
flgment of our own creation. If Jesus
has not come into his rightful place In the
thought and life of men, 1t is because we
have robbed him Of his strength by our
unbelief in the power of his own indissolu-
BILE vitality and have sent him forth into
the world in the puny power Of our vague
speculations and in the foolish wisdom of
our own conceit.
The priesthood which the Master as
sumed was not the perfunctory priesthood
Of ecclesiasticism, but the truer. deviner
priesthood which they enter who have
taken into their hearts the sacrificial spirit
Of Jesus, priests by virtue of the kind of

men they are. There will always be In the
worlds life a place for men whose func-
ton 1t shall be to teach the people sacred
truth and inspire them to holy action
But these men should not be invested with
a fictitious reverence because of their Of
flee. Jesus demonstrated his priesthood
by his sacrificial spirit. When he stood
up in the world and called upon men to
come after him, he was summoning them
to his order Of divine priesthood, the order
whose ordination is not marked by the
putting on of ecclesiastical millinery. but
by the putting on Of divine life. And
they who walk life's ways in his footsteps,
ministering to the worlds blessedness
are priests of God, because they are filled
with the power of an indissoluble life, the
seal of true priesthood.

The Rev. W. D. P. Bliss, at the Union
Reform league. spoke yesterday on the
Ideal City Charter" +"
The Ideal He said In brief: The
City Charter aim of a city charter
should be not merely
to preserve but to improve the life of Its
citizens The end Of all government, Aris-
totle reminds us, Is not life but good life.
Quality is before quantity. The object Of
our ambition should be not a larger but q
better Los Angeles. To this end the first
condition of a city charter should be to
call out the activities and interests OF its
citizens. Democracy is the first condition
of municipal success. The ideal city char
ter, by frequent elections, or, better still,
by frequent referendums of questions to
all the people, will make the people feel
that the city is theirs. A charter that calls
for elections but rarely and puts all power
in the hands Of a mayor or council is es-
sentially bad and fundamentally vicious.
