GODS GRACE is ABUNDANT
Bishop Conaty DweIs Upon Respon-
sibiIity Incurred by BestowaI

'By the grace of God I am what I
am and his grace is not void in me-"
These words of ST. Paul were the theme
of an eloquent sermon by Rt. Rev,
Bishop Conaty yesterday morning at
the Cathedral of st. Vibiana.
Preceding the sermon the bishop
stated that he would himself convey
the annual Peters pence" to the pom
tiff at Rome on his coming first visit
ad limina. He commended himself to
the prayers of the parishioners through
out his journey asking it as a daily
memento. saying that he would not
forget the people at the diocese as he
knelt at the shrines of the saints and
the tombs of the apostles. The bishop
said:
THAT which appeals to me very
strongly in these words of st. Paul is
the beautiful picture of the story OF
the saint. What a change in a mans
life, from the most extreme in one set
of views to the extreme in another.
What a revolution and, withal, what a
sincerity. earnest and straightforward
ness and manliness. Whether we look
at him as Jew or Christian we see tha
sincere man.
"'By the grace of God I am what I
am oh. brethren, this is the word OF
redemption. What graces do we enjoy
that are ours by right? They have been
bestowed upon us. If am a Christian

good God has been to us! Do you ever
think of that? Do you ever think OF
how many have the vaguest possible
knowledge of God and know nothing
of Christ and his abundant gifts in the
sacraments of his love?
You and |. ah, yes the greater num-
ber of us, know nothing else. At the
mothers knee we heard the story OF
redemption. Through our whole lives
we receive the gifts of God. BY the

"THE LIFE MORE ABUNDANT"

The last of the summer services of the
Los Angeles Fellowship were held yes
terday and the platform was occupied
by Reynold e. Blight assistant minis :
ter, who spoke on 1.-The Life More
Abundant" Commencing with next
Sunday the permanent minister. Benja-
min Fay Mills, will speak in Blanchard
hall every Sunday morning. In part
Mr. Blight said:
"The life of the individual naturally
divides itself into three parts-the phys
ical life, the intellectual life, the spir-
itual life. Physical we'll being is the
basis Of all complete human life. With
out health all other gifts are incomplete.
Many Of our supposedly spiritual ills
are traceable to physical disability. A
strong. healthy body is necessary to
the fullest. most effective life; there

to preserve our health.
But there is a higher lfe-the in

makes the man. The possession of the
brain makes man a micronism. It
gives him his powerful position in the
universe.
"But there is a higher life still-the
spiritual. In the spiritual conscious

a close relationship to God. whose off

Owens water deal City Attorney Math-
ews is determined to use every pre-
caution to prevent the slightest legal
error from entering into the proceed
ings. While it was not originally in
tended to mail these ballots and de-
spite the fact that such printing and
mailing entails considerable expense
and work, it has been decided upon to
make the legal status of the election
doubly certain.
Expect Immediate Sale
The citys financiers hope to dispose
of the bonds Immediately after they
are issued, as by taking up the options
at once considerable money can be
saved.
People in the Owens valley half way
believe that Fred Eaton was a little
"off'' in his mind because of the fren-
zied manner in which he was gobbllng
up the land and he had no trouble III
getting clauses inserted in each option
granting a discount provided the option
was taken by the first of January.
"They never thought L would put up
the cash by that time so they were
perfectly willing to allow the discount
in the agreement" said Fred Eaton
when discussing the subject.
While the individual saving on each
option does not amount to much, the
aggregate sum the city will save is
$45, 900 If the options are covered by the
first of the year, according to state
ments of the water board.
Another reason the water commits
sioners are anxious for an early settle
ment of the question is because, in Or
der to secure these options, the water
department has advanced $150,000. y
payment is due on previous bond issues
in October and the board has not the
money to meet it and carry the Owens
river project unaided at the same time.

AS to whether the gates Of the street
car should be- discarded or not, I would
like to express my, opinion regarding the
same. .a3.lz.-,les, .-.-.
Inasmuch as the gates undoubtedly do
a great deal of good, it would not be
unwise to discard them entirely, as they
are very troublesome and annoying at
times. This is especially the; case in the
morning and evening, when the working
people use the cars to get to. their various
places of employment. Wien a car is
full it is full; but not always crowded.
1t certainly cannot be made any fuller
by using the gates, can 1T? Some think
so. Considerable time Is lost only be-
cause the car cannot be operated until
the gates are closed. It is nevertheless
a fact, tho, that the gates are doing some
good but not great deal, don't think.
If they were,s why don't every, city have
gates on their streetcars?. Why was it
that we got along so nicely years ago
without the gates? Simply because there
didn't seem to be any use for them then.
They are introduced to us pretty we'll
now. when there is a "full house" on the
car. -. ,.s-f-
No unnecessary delays of any kind
would have to be made if the gates were
discarded, as there would generally only
be slackup instead of a full stop, and
much time would be saved as a conse-
quence. The motorman would also be

Other Cities Don't Have Gates,

To the Editor Of Tie Journal: s
In last evenings issue of T he J our :
ma you ask: ''Do You Want Gates on
Streetcars?'' My response is, indeed we
do not. And I am glad and thankful for
the opportunity to protest against them
in the most emphatic way possible.
They are an outrage, a nuisance and an
insult to the patient and long-suffering
streetcar patrons of the progressive city
of Minneapolis. II. H. 1
I have travelled, and have visited the
principal cities from Maine to California.
Oregon and Washington; and Minneapo-
lis is the only city in which have seen
anything of the kind used on the street
cars. -..
They are nuisance and time consum-
ers, and. hope that T h e J our n |
will not cease to agitate the, matter, as
implied in your timely editorial in L n e
rnal of the 23d inst, until the
streetcar company decides to treat the
generous and patient. people of this city
as they are treated in other large cities
all over the land. I vote: The gates
should come off, Respectfully yours,

Agitation VIII Do Good,

To the Editor of The Journal:
1 guess the gates. are here to stay. The
streetcar company has so constructed
its cars that the, gates. are used TO hold
the people until they pay their fares,
and they are as much service for this
purpose as in preventing accidents. -
SO neither h e ourn a nor public
opinion will avail. At the same time, I
think 7 e 10 rna is doing a public
service in agitating the question. The
company is continually parading it's be-
lief that it is giving better service than
other cities get, and this man convince
them that a good many people do not
agree with them. ~
The motormen and the conductors can
prevent a good deal Of the annoyance the
gates occasion if they. will be more &C
comn1odating and not take such a devil
ish delight in shutting the gates to pre-
vent man who is trif1e late from get
ting On the car. There is no question
that a reat deal of time is wasted, and il
the company is smart it will try to rem
edy the fault on it's own account as well
as in behalf Of it's patrons.

Call the Town "caIgoodrichvlIIe."
To the Editor of The journal:
During residence of over twenty
years In Minneapolis and somewhat in
dustrlous reading of the press, I have
come to the conclusion that the Twin
City Rapid Transit company is the pet
institution Of the town. The leading cit.
liens and the majority Of councilmen act
on the supposition that it is lese majeste
to say or DO anything that will annoy the
management. 1t is the proper thing to
DOW low and applaud every move 1t
makes. =. 81
When the company demanded the ex-
elusive use of the downtown streets and
somebody t1morously suggested that the
city and citizens had a few rights, this
unique argument was advanced:
1T Will cost the company great deal
OF money without adding a cent to our
receipts" Then !. the counciIt gave up
the streets and the company generously
put in curves and laid the tracks with
out a penny Of bonus from the city. ]
notice that the receipts are increasing
ever since the company went to this ad-
dltlonal expense. Let us hope that this
| increase will in time repay it. "a
The statement was made soon after
the gates were added to the equipment

order of the guaranty or bonding com

To the Editor of The Journal:
I have often wondered how long it
would be until some steps were taken
to force the street railway company to
remove the absurd gates. Minneapolis
people are ong-suffering. In Chicago
the gates would remain on the cars about
three and a quarter minutes. Really,
we are made the laughing stock of the
country by being penned like sheep in
the cars until his royal highness. Of
motorman sees fit to open the gates and
allow us freedom.
Then. too, isn't it conducive to pleas
ant smiles to be forced to trot along thru
several inches of mud or slush a huns
dred feet Or more, after a car that is
moving but little faster than a walk
and could be boarded with no more risk
like thirty cents doing it. Two high a
valuation, cent with hole in it, comes
nearer my opinion Of myself.
Then, to stand at the gate and see the
car you want to transfer to just ready to
start and within easy reach if you could
but get off and catch it.
+ It is handling crowds at the state
fair, baseball and football games that the
asininity Of the gate idea shines in it's
full splendor. There may be plenty Of
cars available, but no one can enter them
and the gates opened, so there is a wild
rush that is totally needless if the crowd
could go out and fill the cars as they
stand.
This condition is perhaps due as much
to thick-headed management as to the
presence Of the gates. AS to the gates
not causing delay, everyone knows bet
ter. The company says It tested it
on the, Interurban line ten years ago.
The cars were shorter and the traffic
much lighter then than now. If no time
Is lost why is 1t that you can go from
State and Randolph streets in Chicago
to Diversey avenue, nearly four miles,
In less time than it takes to get from
Washington avenue to Knox and Doug
las. less than half the distance?
If the company posts notices in it's cars
that they shall not be left or entered
while in motion. damage suits arising
from so doing will have no standing
before the court. People must look out
for themselves in carrying their affairs
in large centers of population. Occa-
sional injuries to individuals are a part
of the price exacted by modern indus
trial conditions and one of the most i'm :
portant factors in the modern city is
rapid transit that you can see somewhere
else than in the company's name or on
the conductors badge, and satisfactory
service in point of speed can never be
given until the gates are scrap iron

More obiiglng Motoneers.

To the Editor Of The Journal:
The subject of streetcar gates has
been in my mind for a good while. It is
my opinion that the gates in good many
ways are a good thing. The steps on the
cqrs are high and often slippery, which
makes it hard for women and children to
get on and off. -
Again, the driver will not start until
the gates are closed-anotter good thing
in my mind. Having gates undoubtedly
does take time but the American tries
to go too fast, anyway.
: should suggest a reform in another
way. That is to teach the motormen
and conductors to be more obliging. /
think if the system would take more
pains to please the public, instead Of run
ming the cars on time regardless Of
whether the cars are empty, and the
people left behind the gates would not
be such a nuisance; but to stand behind
locked gates and see the car on which
you wish to transfer pull out right under
your nose, makes you complain of the
gates. most horribly. F
If you want to see what mean, just
take a ride on the Lake street line. AT
every intersection, as soon as the car is
stopped and the gates opened, there is
a general rush; ladies and gentlemen,
men, women and children, all make a
rush, or they know they will be left, for
the car must start on time, passengers
Or no passengers.A z-zE.4
Many time have had the gates shut
right in my face, the car still standing
there, and the conductor would not pull
the bell to have them opened. l have
found that if the gates don't get quite
closed you can hold them and open them
against the drivers wish It makes the
driver mad but you smile.
Tt don't pay to treat the public too
roughly and this outbreak is just what I
have been; looking for for some time.
The policy Of the company has got to
change. Yours respectfully,
