In the drawing room where the mar

AN EXAMPLE OF JUSTICE

The California press has commented quite freely
on the decision Of the supreme court Affirming the
judgment of the lower court in the Of Colonel
Griith The opinions expressed are generally to the
effect that the law has been vigorously upheld and that
Justice has been meted out fairly.
Exception must be taken, however, to some animad-
found in the Sacramento Union relative to the
he would have gone to states prison by the shortest
route. But Colonel Grffth is very rich man; he has
business standing and social position in addition to his
wealth these three forces have been combined in
long and strenuous contest him from states
prison"
It is fact on the contrary, that the Griffith
has been from the beginning to the present stage,
notable example Of exact California Justice. In no In
stance has there been anything to suggest the potency
of the defendants wealth position The case has
progressed rapidly is consistent with the cumber
machinery of the law in such circumstances, and
with the latitude gives to every whose life or
liberty is at stake.
Judging from the tenor of the Sacramento Unions
criticism we suspect that the writer of it is not
infant of the fact that Colonel Griffith has been
fined in Jail during the long and strenuous contest
to him from states prison" At no time since the
dastardly assault on his wife has there been any sent
ment of compassion for him any expression of SYM
pathy because of his assumed business standing and
social position in addition to his wealth. as our con-
temporary puts it.
The people of Los Angeles have with practical
unanimy agreed that the crime of which Colonel Grif
fifth stands convicted of the most atrocious in
criminal history of this county 1t with feel
ing of general thankfuness that all citizens read the
verdict of guilty the subsequent sentence and that
feeling revived reading the scathing language
of the supreme court in approving and affirming the
judgment of the Los Angeles court.

THE WINE INCIDENT
AT CANA OF GALILEE
Or. Bowers Replies to a Recent Arti-
Gle Emanatlno From Local
Saloon keeper

saloon Keeper
LOS ANGELES, March 7.-CEditor
Herald)-In your issue of February 2S
is published an article signed Saloon
ist," which he calls an answer to tenn
perance crusades." Unfortunately he
fails to sign his name to his muddled
article which, after all, is not surpris-
ing from man who is engaged In
the crime of drunkard making. A man
would have to patronize his own bar
quite freely before he would feel like
signing his name to an article trying
to defend thing that is devoid of a
single redeeming feature, but is to-
tally bad
There is only one thing in "Saloon-
lists" paper that demands considera-
tion, and that is the bald intimation
that Christ sanctioned drunkenness by
his first miracle-the turning Of water
into wine. To say that Christ began
his ministry by encouraging a drunken
and licentious debauch in making
about 1876 gallons of intoxicating liquor
is little short of blasphemy.
The prohibition demanded of Aaron,
in Leviticus 10 ., when he went into
the tabernacle was as follows: "Do not
drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor
thy sons with thee, when ye go into the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye
die and that we may put DIFF
ference between holy and unholy and
between unclean and clean" Here the
Almighty demands entire prohibition
and calls Intoxicating drink unholy and
unClean.
Now to say that Jesus Of Nazareth
on entering the gateway of his won
derful ministry would sanction the use
of alcoholic liquor that has brought
more wretchedness and woe to man
kind than any other thing in the whole
range of human thought, is unthink-
able. He declared that he came not to
destroy the law or the prophets but
to fulfill"
Fermented wine contains as its es-
sential elements alcohol, oenattric acid,
oenattric ether, volatile oils, acetic acid
and sulphate of potash, not one of
which is found in unfermented wine.
The pure juice Of the grape has a
most striking resemblance to blood in
it's constituents, all of which nourish
the various structures of the body,
which cannot be said of fermented
wine. To say that the Son of God
turned water into alcoholic wine, or
used fermented wine as a symbol of
his blood at the Eucharist, outrages
reason and logic, and is a libel on his
character. 1t is simply to say that
he sanctioned sin; that he sane
toned one of the vilest poisons
in the world-a poison that has degrad
ed, debauched and killed more of the
human race than all other posons COM
bined. STEPHEN BOWERS.

RELIGIOUS AND SECULAR PRESS

DR. Buckley the distinguished Methodist clergyman
and editor declared in recent address that the pos
sibes of the press for religion not surpassed by
those of the pulpit" That is liberal estimate to come
from source so decidedly sectaran 1t is correct
estimate however. and proves that it's author has
moved out of the olden time rut of religious
prejudice.
The mission of the press is substantially the same
as that of the church. Both aim the moral and
social elevation of mankind and the betterment of the
world generally And just in proportion as the church
broadens the narrow path of sectaransm, it comes
still closer to the highway of that universal religion
which has its foundation in education and enlighten-
ment.
Dr. Buckley however, drew a distinction concerning
the socalled religious press which is adaptable to-
which were founded religious papers and which still
are willing accept patronage such but which
really undenomnatona schemes for the destruction of
the church"
In the secular press there is class small but
pernicious maintains itself by destructive
to morality and to the whole social structure. Such
newspapers Dr. Buckley remarks concerning the
called religious papers which he criticises, willing
to accept patronage from the very fountain heads of
vice and crime They are not only willing degrade
the press to such level but they make specially
of catering to the low and the vicious.
That fraction of the so-caled religious press which
schemes the destruction of the church is parallel
to that fraction of secular press commonly known
as the yellow newspaper" variety which seeks to gd
vice and degrade virtue
