NJ ALEER SAVES
Cafes LICENSE
REVOCATION FOLLOWS BRITT
EPISODE
Proprietor of Broadway Establishment
Is Given Opportunity to Dispose Of
Place Because Mayor Regards
Him FaVorably

The intercession of Mayor MCAleer
was all that saved the Imperial cafe
from the hands of the police commits
sion yesterday.
AS 1t is it is probable the restaurant
liquor license of the well known
Broadway restaurant will be revoked
at the meeting of the commission Tues
day morning, unless an absolute trans
ter of ownership occurs within that
time At the request of the mayor the
police commissioners agreed to lay the
case over for one week
The action of the police commission
was the result of fight that occurred
in the Imperial Saturday evening in
which Jimmy Britt, the aCtor-pugilist.
received several scratches The police
commission has been after the Inn
peral for several months. Just before
Christmas the proprietors were notified
that they would have to conduct their
business with less trouble TO the po-
lice department or their license would
be revoked. The proprietors acknowl-
edged having received a warning from
the police commission but claimed
that politics was back of it and they
were marked for slaughter because they
refused to sell a certain bottled beer
brewed by one of the local brcwerles.
Commissioner Mason was the prime
mover against the cafe yesterday.
at seems that it is impossible for
them to conduct an orderly place at
the Imperial" said Mr., Mason, and ]
move that the license be revoked"
Commissioner Johnson was quick to
second the motion and 1t was up to the
mayor, as Commissioner James was
not present at the meeting.
I'D like to ask that action be de-
ferred on this for another week." said
the mayor. 81 have known Max
Nickel, who is one of the proprietors
since he was a boy and l know him tC
he a food, straightforward fellow. II
we revoke his license 1t simply means
that we will be taking away the few
dollars he has saved by hard work
and invested in this business. Give
him n little time to sell out his inter
ests."
This plea of the mayor worked or
the sympathies of the other members
of the commission and the extension
of time was granted.

UTILITY ORDINANCE

The complete repeal OF the so-called
utility ordinance is properly bringing
down upon the heads OF the city coun-
cilmen the sharpest reproof and crit
iclsm. Conservative people, who are
not usually found amid the hue and
cry against corporations, are severest
in their protest against the action of
the city council in repeating an
ordinance that was designed to safe
guard the interests of the public. The
council did not even give the pro-
visions of the ordinance time to be-
come operative. but killed it before 1t
went into effect, and did this under
the guise of a simple effort to get ria
Of the gas Inspector, when as a matter
of fact they have thereby permitted
the gas. electric and telephone COM
panies to resume their old sway of UNI
bridled power.
Fortunately the matter is not yet
beyond intervention. The repeating
ordinance must have the approval OF
the mayor.
And Mayor McAleer should veto the
ordinance.
It is his duty. The responsibility
rests upon him 70 save the public
utility ordinance from destruction. He
alone can do it. The people expect
him to meet the situation promptly and
periodically.

until the second stage was reached.
There Is yet time to come. but the ex-
pectations must be different. It Is no
longer a matter of a few months cs-
cape from the bleak winter Of the
north to the dry sunshine Of the south
west. II must be an irrevocabe de-
cision TO leave behind the north and
east forever and to accept the south
west as a bourne from which no pill
grim permanently returns. The legend
may be parphrased into abandon
hope all We who stay behind-renew
your hope all We who enter here"
Elsewhere there are. of course, sam
atoria in which treatment may be OBJ
tanned and other climates to which
one may go; but If the southwest is
selected, come acknowledging the Ill
ness, be invalids, not tourists or tran
sients: be homeseekers as well as
health-seekers be under orders. De-
mand comforts, care and responsive
advice. Come prepared to pay for It.,
or else stay away.
The poor hopeless and nearly help
less sufferers in the third stage, when
the lungs are eaten away, must not be
irrationally encouraged. There is no
recovery for them. They may slip
easier into the grave, If they have
money, or If they have friends: but
they can not be cured, and the sooner
we confess the limitations of nature
the better for all concerned II they
wish to see and to feel the warm sun
shine, to pass more of their remaining
days out of doors than they possibly
can elsewhere, if breathing may thus
be made easier for them, so that they
taste an undrugged peace at the last,
no one ought to prevent them from
coming.
1t is not function of our govern
ment TO build up u colony of the
tuberculous, or to establish a system
of segregation, as has been proposed.
No section of the country wants a shot
gun quarantine against tuberculosis.
The ridiculous example we already have
of its Effectiveness in yellow fever
should warn us against similar expert
ments. But If those in the third stage
come, it must be with the fore
knowledge that they must come to
meet death delayed, at best, but
briefly. They must reckon with the
exhausting journey into a strange
country; they must be prepared for
hardships unavoidable in the circum-
stances; they must be prepared to die
even before they are well laid in a
clean bed. And above ALL they must
have money. without 1t they are
adding folly. madness and uncharlt-
ableness to their disease.

PRESIDENT WHEELER

Chicago must not be permitted to
take President BENZ. l. Wheeler from
the University Of California. II is Of
more real Importance to California
to have the right kind Of man
as president Of her chief institution Of
learning than It is to have the right
kind of governor, for the influence of
one reaches almost every home in the
state, directly or indirectly, while the
influence OF the other really touches
few outside the narrow circles Of pol
itics.
The president Of the state university
is the head and leader of the educa-
tional system Of the state. His stand
ards become In time state standards,
his ideals reach the public schools
which prepare for the high schools and
other preparatory schools to the uni
versity. SO that the right man at
Berkeley means a higher grade of
teachers and teaching, better organ
lied and more thorough system of edu
cation throughout the state
President Wheeler has met the de-
mands of his superlatively RESPONSE
ble position in a manner that has
brought both advantage and honor to
the state and has lifted the university
out of a minor place in the catalogue
of colleges to a position among the
first three or four universities on the
continent. No other president Of the
University Of California, not even Presi-
dent Daniel c. Gilman, whom California
lost because Of unjust personal criticism.
has so well met the almost impossible
demands of the position as has Presi-
dent Wheeler. He found 1t with few
more than five hundred students, and
now it has but q few less than thirty
five hundred. At each session of the
legislature and almost at each private
door he found it begging for enough
to barely live upon, and by wisely di-
rected legislation and arousing the
pride of California's wealthy men and
women, he has made it possible to meet
an unprecedented growth in populari-
ty and the consequent demands for pro-
fessors, instructors, buildings and APP
paratus So high does the state uni
versity now rank that it can attract
the foremost men from other universi-
ties, on salaries even less than are paid
elsewhere-men such as DR.. jacques
Loeb, Adolph C. Miller and Morse
Stephens-whose very presence in a
university is proof that 1t is not sub
iect to the slightest sneers so often
justifaby cast at political univer-
Stiles"
The state of California cannot enter
into competition with the Rockefeller
endowed University of Chicago in the
matter of a presidents salary. But
we do not believe this will be the con-
trolling factor with President Wheeler.
He has but started his work for this
state, and the people of California
should make him know that we appre-
ciate it and will stand with him to
make the greater university he is
building.
The men who knew the University of
California in it's youth, who saw it pass
through one brief presidency after an
other, often in danger of wreck and
never strong either with the people OF
the state or the educators of the coun-
try, should make earnest effort to have
President Wheeler retained, no matter
