LET NO GUILTY MaN ESCAPE.

T is subject for sad reflection that son OF the
\ | President who in his ncorruptibe maintenance Of
justice warned the officers of the law on noted
occasion to "let guilty man escape" is now
himself involved in a scandal the investigation OF
which must be undertaken and carried in the spirit
of those memorable words Justice, however, is no
respecter of persons, neither does turn aside for
sentiment 1t demands of the investigating commit
tee at Sacramento that guilty of violating the
laws of the State be allowed to go unpublished.
1t was maxim of old Rome "The Judge is con-
demned when the guilty absolved" So will it be
with the investigating committee if go about its
work in formal and merely perfunctory way; if it
show any sign of trying to shield any one, high or
low, from the consequences of guilt if it hesitate in
the path OF duty; if it permit evasions quibbles or
echnicates to be pleaded successfully bars to the
disclosure OF truth.
The members of the committee may as well under
stand that they as we'll as the accused Speaker
trial. What they do will be noted throughout the
State; will anything they may leave undone in
the performance of duty be overlooked The people
of the oenses that have been disclosed by The Call
and confirmed by evidence collected by other journals
of the State The Speaker of the Assembly stands
charged of gross violations of law, and prominent
candidates for high office are involved with him. The
issue is not one that can be huddled over. The evil
dence cannot be hushed up. There is ground for
compromise The committee must condemn the guilty
OF be itself condemned.
There is no desire the part of the people to per-
secue any person No injustice is aimed any legis
lator, candidate or lobbyist There is demand for
a scapegoat Indignation has been aroused by the
disclosures made but it has not affected the popular
judgment. The people are capable OF giving i'm
partial consideration to the subject and will weigh the
evidence calmly but they demand that all the facts
be brought out fully and fairly They wish the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They
look to the investigating committee to accomplish
that, and will be satisfied with nothing less.

DR.. O'BRIEN RETURNS
TO HIS CIVIL DUTIES
THE GALLANT SURGEON OF THE
FIRST AT HIS POST.
Resumes the Position of Health Off
GER After Meritorious Service
at Manila-Dr. Gallwey's
Self-Sacrifce.

DR.. A. P. O'Brien will resume his duties
as Health Officer of this city this morn
ing after an absence of eight months.
When President Mckinley called for
volunteers last spring DR.. O'Brien was
among the first to respond, sacrificing
much for his country from a material
point of view. He went to Manila last
May and rendered distinguished service,
for which he has been praised by the
highest authorities. Notable among his
humanitarian acts was his work in the
smallpox hospital. He braved the dan
gers of the dread disease, and upon his
assumption of control the list of ia
talities commenced to grow rapidly less.
This was but one of his achievements in
the far away Philippines.
Upon his arrival here he applied to the
department al Washington for his dis
charge. Contrary to expectations an i'm
mediate answer was received to the effect
that a leave of absence would be granted
MIN until February Is, at which time he
would be honorably discharged. Few men
have been granted discharges under these
conditions, and it is believed the heads of
the army were aware of the distinguished
service rendered by DR.. OBrien, hence
their action upon his application.
ably filled by DR.. John Gallwey. He as
sumed the duties ei~ht months ago this
morning. and has been unremitting in his
attentions to the demands of the Office
ever since He accepted the office upon
the condition that the salary which at
taches. $3.50 a month, should go to the
family of the absent officer. At times the
demands of his own extensive practice and
the other duties he had assumed seemed
more than he could master, but he full
filed all his obligations to his patients
and to the public, and proved his loyalty
to his friend.

Supreme Justices Max, an Important

The Justices of the Supreme Court have

Sonoma County some interesting law to
ponder upon The case in which this in
formation was given was that of John

of habeas corpus. A divorce case is pend
ing in Santa Rosa between Silvia and
his wife, and the Judge ordered the hus-
band to give the wife $205 alimony and
counsel fees. Silvia failed to obey the
order, claiming that he had no money
whereupon the Judge insisted that the
money could be raised by the husband
selling or putting a mortgage upon home

vice of his attorney Silvia declined to do
so, and he was adjudged to be guilty of
contempt of court and to be imprisoned

worth remembering.

HE deadlock heretofore maintained between the
Police Court and the Police Department over
the arrest and prosecution of the booksellers
engaged in violating the municipal ordinances has
been broken by the issuance OF warrants by three Of
the Police Judges The deadlock arose over the re-
fusal of the Judges issue warrants and was pri-
marily due to disagreement between them as to
which particular Judge should decide the cases. The
matter has been settled by division of the business
and it is presumed that the work of prosecution will
go uninterruptedly.
1t ought to be said at this juncture however that
the issuance OF warrants and the arrest of the
poolroom proprietors will not of themselves suppress
the evil If the Police Judges do not perform their
duty when these yiolaors of the law brought be-
fore them there will be practical Endorsement of

perpetuate these dens of iniquty. They money
making contrivances. Their propretors are politi-
clans, and in robbng the fool public they are sus-
tanned in measure by the political classes But there
is no apparent reason why their pulls should be po-
tent in the Police Court The Judges OF that tribunal
elected to mete out justice without regard to the
personal influence of culprits and if they permit the
pulls OF the poolroom operators to enter their courts
they ought to be made subjects of inquiry by the
Grand Jury

We hope the Police Judges will sustain the Police
Department in enforcing the anti-poolroom or
dinances If they will follow up their warrants with
genuine prosecutions, in which all the evidence
against the poolrooms is brought out they will earn
the gratitude OF the wabidng portion OF the com
nunity and lay up capital which will benefit them
hereafter. Nothing reflect so much credit upon
