The Presidents Grafton.

AT Oyster Bay on July Fourth
President Roosevelt was the orator
OF the day and among many good
things he said worth remembering
was the following: None of you are
worth anything as citizens, none oi
you can be worth anything as cti-
zens, If you have not the fund Of NOR

love OF country, love OF neighbors.
love OF home, which make you hon

thing, If in addition to those quail
ties you have not the courage, phys
lcal and moral, without which us
American citizen can do his full duty
as citizen. And yet, bacl; Of them
and IN addition to them, We must
have the sanity, the common sense,
the just judgment which neither hys
terically overemphasizes nor blindly
refuses to acknowledge the wrongs
that exist and the ways in which
those wrongs must be cured"

The Square Deal.

Nevada is often laughed at because
its United States senators have been
selected from amongst men who new
er lived in that state longer than to
gain residence so as to quality them
to hold the position. But in recent
election thing thing was laid on the
shelf, says the Montrose Press. The
two political parties nominated men
who were bona fide residents-or rec
commended them, rather-and they
were voted for just the same as regu-
lar nominees for other places. The
republican nominee got the majority
af the popular votes, but the legisla-
tnre went democratic That was pc
euliar situation, yet the democrat
proved equal TO the OCCASION instant
" and ANNOUNCED that his name
should not be considered In connec-
ton with the Office; that his opponent
had received a majority of the votes
and the democratic legislators should
vote for him He did the right thing
and gave the people OF Nevada
square deal, besides furnishing 70 the
country at large an example Of pure

WARRANT FOR CONTRACTOR
Plumber Refuses to Get Permit for
$4,000 Worth of Work at
Hotel Wentworth

PASADENA, Sept. 2l-This after
noon a warrant for the arrest of A. E
Vesper was sworn out by Building and
Plumbing Inspector Arthur Shaver
charging Vesper with infracting the
building ordinance of the city. Nesper,
who has the $50, 900 contract for plumb
ing the new Hotel wentworth. has re-
fused to take out a permit for the work
at the city hall.
The plumber has raised novel con-
tention which only the courts can de-
eide. When the Hotel Wentworth was
started it was outside of the city limits,
as il stood on Oak Knoll. Later Oak
Knoll was annexed to the city. Nesper
contends that. as the hotel was COM
menced before the property il stands
on was annexed, he is not amenable
to the city building ordinance.
Inspector Shaver contends. and City
Attorney Wood backs him up, that as
the plumbing work was not started
until the property was annexed, Vesper
Is amenable TO the city ordinance,
The fee for the permit would be over
$3.50 and this sum Vesper says he win
not pay.
The case is to come up before Police
Judge Mcdonald on Monday morning
and by the time 1t is finally decided one
of the most interesting legal questions
ever raised i'm Pasadena will have been
settled
Vesper is widely known in Pasadena,
where he formerly had leading plumb
ing shop. This shop he sold out some
time ago and then he took the big
hotel contract, to which he has been
devoting his time during the past sew
eral weeks.

long BEACH, Sept. 21.-Et a late
hour last night Rev. Mr. Newell pastor
of "A Presbyterian church of Los An
gcles, was found standing at the cor
ner of Fifth street and American ave-
nue., the blood streaming from cash
above his left eye. He had his hat in
his hand and his clothes were covered
with dust. Although able to walk he
could not utter a word.
The young man WHO discovered the
minister's plight led him to the Oak
ford drug store at Second street and
Pine avenue, where Dr. Bowman took
three stitches in the laceration in the
mans head. Today Rev. Mr.. Newell is
much better and indications point to
his speedy recovery.
The injured man remembers that he
was preparing to alight from Pacific
Electric car at Sixth street and liner
lean avenue. Then all became a blank
and he knew nothing until he regained
his faculties at the drug store.
While the affair appears mysterious
it is supposed that the wound was
caused by the minister falling upon the
pavement as he was stepping from the
car, or almost Immediately thereafter.
There Is no basis for the belief that he
was attacked by highwayman as his
watch and money were undisturbed.
Rev. Mr.. Newell is living temporarily
at 537 Cedar avenue with relatives.

PASADENA, Sept. 2t.--One OF the
most novel aud yet weird ideas on
record has originated i'm the minds
Of Mrs Edward B. Heiman, widow of
the man killed in the collision inside
Of the Pasadena Electric Express
building, and some of her friends.
1t is nothing more or less than a
fun Shorthand and reportorial report
Of the funeral of Heiman which is
to take place tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock from the chapel of Rey-
nolds &5 Van Nuys. This report is to
be done after the fullest and most
approved newspaper methods and the
widow is to receive copy of It for
preservation.
The friends do not plan to have tho
report appear in the newspapers. 1t
Is designed simply for the eye of Mrs.
Heiman, and already a local man has
been commissioned to take charge Of
the details, the friends paying the
expense.
Mrs. Heiman is i'm delicate condi-
ton, both from the effects of the
shock and because she is about to be-
come a mother. Fearing the effects of
funeral Mrs. Heiman will not at
tend the services in memory of her
husband, but she wants very much
to go.
The man in charge of the reporting
arrangements is to furnish stenog-
rapher to take down verbatim the flu
neral address of Rev. Albert Hatcher
Smith, pastor of the fashionable First
Baptist church, while a descriptive
writer will describe the scene and SER
vice as accurately as possible.
The Modern Woodmen, of which or
der Mr.. Heiman was "A member, will
attend the services and a list of those
present as well as a description of
the floral offerings will be given in this
remarkable report. When the services
are over the whole will be put in read
able form, speech or sermon and all,
and a transcription will be turned over
TO the friends of the widow, who will
allow Mrs Heiman to read the report
as soon as she Is able.
Mrs. Heiman is bearing up bravely
under this strain today and the medi-
cal men think that she will make out
all right, though her condition will
be watched with considerable anxiety
by her friends during the next few
weeks.

the nature of a bomb shell thrown into

came the authorized announcement this
afternoon that concerted move has
been inaugurated among certain tax
payers to prevent the use of tax
money to build a municipal electric
plant. .1-
This municipal electric light plant is
Mayor Warehouses; pet hobby. He
vigorously pushed proposition to
issue city bonds for the construction
of such a plant to a vote and the
proposition won out by a majority of
fourteen at the polls. The Edison Elec-
trio company then stepped in and
started suits to prevent the sale Of
the bonds and this litigation is now
pending in the federal courts.
The mayor then cast about for an
other way to get money to carry out
his pet scheme. This time, he decided
to add Is cents to the otherwise nee
essary tax rate. This would produce a
revenue of $500 and this amount he
proposes to spend for small plant to
be operated until it can be enlarged
from the proceeds of the sale of bonds.
Now some of the taxpayers threaten
suit to prevent the use of the tax
money for any such purpose.
Those back of this newest move are
Walstein Root of 210 Grand avenue,
William C. Baker of sol Bellefontaine
street and Thomas H. Nelmes of 274
Lock -Iaven street. Root and Nelmes
are credited with being rich. They call
upon the taxpayers, in printed notice
this afternoon to join in with them in
the suit and promise to pay all ex-
penses of the case themselves.
Herbert G. Coudge and William J..
Williams are attorneys for the three.
These attorneys have given an opinion
that the city has no right to use the
tax money for any such purpose.
