city to menace and browbeat a man and
a representative of the people into doing
something which his conscience and ms
conception of duty tells him he should not
do.
This Is an important and a vital ques-
ton. and it concerns every Christian citi-
zen of the capital city of this golden
State. Can Z handful of men gather and
attempt to dictate and coerce a PUBLIC
servant, or is that duly elected repre-
sentative of the people to be permitted
to decide for himself what is right and
just for him to do.
1 tell you that it Is all wrong. The
man is the thing. He must act on his
own responsibility, and what he does he
must stand for and answer to the people
whom he represents. We do not want
any committee to speak for our repre-
sentative, nor do we want any committee
to attempt to ooerce or broWbeat him.
When a company of individuals get to-
gether and pretend to speak upon sub
jects which they are not authorized to
speak upon and which they have never
been directed to speak upon by the body
which created them and gave them an
official existence, and also attempt to de-
lude the public into believing that they
are speaking for you and for me, they
are breaking down or endeavoring to
break down the very principles OF free
government.
do not desire this evening to make any
invidious comparisons between candi-
dates for the Senatorship, and / will not
do so. But 1 do desire to denounce this
attempt OF Dand OF interested men 10
bring pressure upon an individual to
compel him to violate his conscience and
his Judgment as not true to American
principles and as a menace to the future
of the republic.
In this hour of trial the church must
stand up. We must say to public servants,
''If you do right and do what your con-
science tells you is right we will be with
you. But If you do not do right, we will
be against you If the church does not
do this it will be like putty in the hands
of those who desire to use it for their
own sinful purposes.

GREEN IN THE ROLE
OF A PHILANTHROPIST

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 15.-There is a general feel
ing among members of the Legislature to-
night that Grants contest for a place in
the United States Senate has very nearly
reached an inglorious finish If there
were a lingering shadow of doubt in the
public mind that the Grant campaign for
the Senatorship began in boodling and
has been marked by boodling at every
stage of its progress. 1t is now vanishing.
1t is within the province of the Legisla-
ture to ascertain how much money was
paid by the agents of Grant, to whom
they paid 1T and where it was paid
A dull season in real estate may have
affected localities outside of Alameda
County, and perhaps Milton Green in his
goodness helped other Assemblymen than
Speaker Wright to tide over the distress
of a bad year.
It is a remarkable fact that the chief
sufferers of the dull season in real estate
were candidates for the Legislature
When Mr. Green was appealed to for as
sistance he did not think to advise the
applicants TO appeal to the local banks
and money lending agencies for financial
assistance, but generously advanced the
money himself. He was not Shylock,
but rather a generous saltwater Bill

roboration of the statement that these
charges are false 1 refer you to Mr..
Grant and Mr.. Green"
Wright referred incredulous persons
to Mr.. Green. and this is what Mr..
Green has 70 say: Il deny absolutely
and unQualifiedly that I ever paid
money to any legislator to influence his
vote for Senator, and 1 do not believe
that Mr.. Wright ever made lat claim
l loaned Mr.. Wright some money in
manner he indicates in the Chronicle
interview. 1t was paid to a creditor of
his, and had nothing to do with poll
tics. 1t was not used for campaign
purposes, and was to be repaid from
the proceeds of a land sale in Oregon,
in which he was interested No friend
of Mr.. Grants has the slightest reason
been conducted otherwise than in an
honorable manner
! A careful perusal of this statement
will disclose the fact that Mr.. Green
| denies that he ever paid money to a
legislator. This may be true. At the
| same time he paid the money to Wright
that gentleman was not a legislator,
and therefore does not come within the
range of Mr.. Green's denial. He does
not deny, however, that he paid money
to Wright to influence his vote for Sen
ator. He also claims that $3.50 was all
the money paid by him to Wright or on
| Wright's account.
Green does not remember the name
of the man to whom he paid $3.50 on
Wright's account. The handing out of
/ $3.50 checks is evidently so common a
thing with Mr.. Green that little thing

+" "SOW BOSSISM.
REAP DEADLOCKS y
Rev. William RAIDER DenOunCeS
Dan Burns From the
Pulpit.

Prelude to evening sermon by the
Rev. William RAIDER Of the Third Con-
gregational Church:
The people of California are interested
in the Senatorial contest at Sacramento.
They ought to be, because the office Of
Senator is the opportunity of the people
to have a vote and voice upon matters
which concern mankind. The Senate has
heen the arena for the notable debates in
our national history; it is the sacred
workshop of the republic. where laws
are made and the forces of progress set
in motion The annals of the Senate are
rich in great names. Great orators,
statesmen and diplomats have enrolled
their names on the nations honor roll in
the Senate. No cathedral or church is in
the last analysis more sacred. No priest
or preacher occupies a position affording
a greater moral advantage than the Unit
ed States Senator. The Office clothes him
with the royal purple of authority. 1t is
therefore a matter of concern to the
Christian community = this Senatorial
fight.
it concerns every man who has political
self-respect, regardless of his church or
his party Churches have dwelt too long
upon the heaven that is to come. Their
plain duty is to bring in a heaven. here
and now A step toward this divine dream
is placing a man in the United States Sem
ate who shall be a witness to the higher
life and better culture of California.
The contest at Sacramento is being
waged over man accused of political in
trigue and industrial dishonesty. He is
branded as one who has looked through
the bars of a prison. If one-half that has
been said of Dan Burns be true, then Cal
ifornia would disgrace her name before
the world by naming him as her repre-
sentative in Washington. Accordingly
the Capitol at Sacramento is being
stormed by an aroused public opinion ex-
tending from Shasta to San Diego.
The respectability Of the State stands
between Burns and the Senate with a
flaming sword in it's uplifted hand. Under

vious to concede all that the people
claim for The Call, must admit that this
journal is certainly success as collect
ing agency.
Little news was obtained in the Burns
camp tonight. There was quiet rejoicing
that the hand of the Grant managers had
been shown in the act of showering
money. but no predictions were made of
gains for the colonel on the balloting to-
morrow The touts have their lines for
La Barre and Wade and have not given
up the hope of corraling Dunlap, Ander-
Sacramento is almost universal that
knights will not succumb to bluster or
persuasion in the interest Of Burns. His
manly course in the joint CONVENTION last
SATURDAY is still the topic OF talk in
Sacramento.

A Fight for a secretaryship.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 15.-It is very probable that
at the first meeting of the State Lunacy
Commission which is held. strong pres
sure will be brought to bear upon the
members of the commission to make a
change in the secretaryship of the com
mission. The position is at present held
by John F. Carrere of Los Angeles, who
is a Silver Republican.
The State Lunacy Commission includes
the Governor, the Secretary of State, the
Attorney General and Drs. Hatch and
Mathews.
There is no fixed term Of Office provided
for the secretary under the law which
created the commission. He holds office
during the pleasure of the commission.
The position is a very nice one. The du-
ties are not arduous and the salary is $3.50
per month.
There are number of applicants for
this fat job. among the number being
Edward Casey of San Francisco, at pres
ent clerk of Judge Troutts department
of the Superior Court.
John Morton of Los Angeles County is
also an applicant for the position. He
was formerly the secretary to the medical
director of the Southern California
Asylum for the Insane.
Before the fight for the secretaryship is
ended there will probably be other candi-
dates who will spring up.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-

Senator Robert N Bulla feel greatly en-
couraged tonight. All nine of the mem

have been voting for Bulla have again
decided to stand firm to him on the ball

There was some apprehension lest one Of

men supporters of Bulla might leave him

INDIAN CENTENARIANS.
Three Whose Combined Ages Reach
Two Hundred and Ninety
Nine Years,

There can be no doubt that the three
/ Oldest sisters in the United States
| possibly in the whole world-are some
Indian women in Sun Diego county, in
southern California. The women are
Se-mui-lah (meaning peacefully, Ming
Ito (meaniHg black-eyed) and Te-mes-
cal (meaning sharp at bargain). Their
combined ages are 300 years. Se-mul-
lab is the eldest; she was 1913 years old
last June. Ninglio is 100 and'lemescal
is the juvenile of the trio. She was So
some time last summer. They are REM
nants of the Saboba tribe, who were
part of the thousands Of friendly saw
ages known in California as the Mis-
sion Indians, from the fact that they
voluntarily went under the fostering
care of the Franciscan missionaries in
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
fury and gave their children to the mis-
sionaries for instruction. These old
women are able TO speak few words
in England but their talk is a .jargon
of Spanish and Indian. Each of them
has several score of descendants, says
the San francisco Call.
There is not the least doubt among
the people in southern California who
have given any attention TO these I'M
commonly old sisters as to their ages.
That is q matter of record in the musty
old registers in the archives of the mis-
sion al San Gabriel, in Los Angeles
county; also in church census taken
in 1910 and now in the mission of Qua
dalupe at the City of Mexico, where
nearly all the records of the California
missions were taken upon disestablish-
ment of the Roman Catholic missions
in 1882. There is a record of the bap-
tism of Ramon Aguilan, a Saboba In
dian, under the charge of the mission
at San Diego. The record shows that
Ramon was the father of II children.
The first was born in May, 1889. Sc
mul-lah was born in 1894 and Ning-lio |
was the seventh child and born in 1899 |
while little Temescal came in 1901.

A WONDER Full CONSERVATORY
That of the White House Is Con-
Quoted on Very Large
Scale.

More than Il dozen employees are re-
uuired the year round to care for the
white house conservatories. They are
under the direction of Henry Pfster,
horticuturist and botanist, who has
been for almost quarter of century
in charge of the nation floral domain.
The Conservatives furnish the inn
mense supply Of Towering plants and
shrubs required each year for the
adornment of the white house grounds,
and more than $4,000 plants and bulbs
are produced each year for this pur-
pose alone. As is we'll known there are
few more artistic examples of the land
scape- gardeners art than is afforded
by the grounds surrounding the home
of the president, Each year they par
take of a different character, and in
variably there is some touch Of splendor
that seems TO appeal with especial force
to the thousands of visitors who seek
the place. 1t is understood, of course,
that the Conservatives are not open TO
visitors, even when the president is alb
sent from Washington.
Two rather unique features of the
conservatory are found in the orange
grove and the pineapple-beds. Both
are rather diminutive, to be sure, but
the supply of fruit if not extensive is al
/ least excellent, and much relished or

THE BISHOPS "LADY."
From the Travelling Dag the Porter
Thought That He Had Left
Her Behind.

Bishop Huntington once went down
TO town in Connecticut to perform a
marriage ceremony, which had a ludi-
crous finale for him, says the Washing
ton Post. He0arrived the day before
the wedding, and he left at the same
time the bridal pair did, although he
was driven 10 "A different railway sta
ton. As he passed through the sta
ton, carrying his travelling bag, he
was creating a sensation, but was to-
tally at a loss to account for it. In the
ear he found that he was still the OBJ
iect Of amused attention. The porter
positively snickered as he passed his
seat, and finally just as the train drew
out he came up and assisted the church
man to remove his oyercoat.
What is the matter with you, my
man?" asked the bishop. The porter's
smoker broadened into a laugh.
Amt you done lef' the lady, sah?'
he chuckled.
"Eh?' exclaimed the bishop in sur
prise. Then his eye fell on the side
Of his travelling bag, which the porter
had just turned round. There, glued
TO it, was a wide strip of white satin
ribbon. on which was painted in large
letters:
