Give Us Character

"Give us character as a result of
school work Never forget that the
ordinary school is not to form special
lists, to make mechanics, but to turn
out men and women who in the
strength of character which has been
developed become good and skilled
workmen in any field of endeavor which
they may be called to enter, to be not
presidents, but men worthy if called to
any position of honor or trust. We are
apt to increase unnecessarily the school
curriculum and multiply the things to
be taught the child. Far better to
teach the child thoroughly well the
things that are essential to all mental
and spiritual development rather than
crowd the mind with things not prac-
teal at the moment and perhaps for
gotten before the time comes for their
use.
High minded in thought upright in
truth, obedient to conscience, loving
God and his fellow men, courteous of
manner, a follower of the Divine Mas

ASK INJUNCTION
AGAINST COUNCIL
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE OBJECTS
TO ORDINANCE
Says Amendment Providing for a
Change in Liquor Laws Was Hur-
redIy Passed and Techni-
caIly Incorrect

By order of Judge Conrey of the
superior court yesterday the passing,
of the liquor amendment relative to
granting licenses in the downtown dis
trict upon the consent of one-half the
property owners on a block instead of
two-t thirds. as called for by the ordi-
nance, will be thrashed out before
Judge Bordwell of department nine of
the superior court on January 4, and
the present municipal administration
will have nothing to say about it's ulti-
mate fate.
When the amendment was hurried
through the city council last Monday
Secretary Willard Of the Municipal
league was busy, his attention, evil
IDENTIFY by previous arrangement, hav-
ing been attracted elsewhere so that
there was no objection.
In it the liquor interests scored a
success in that hereafter, when a
license is to be granted for a saloon on
any of the downtown streets the appli-
cant will find it necessary to have the
consent of only one-half the property
owners on both sides of the streets as
far as the intersections, instead of two
thirds as heretofore required.
But the councilmen will not accom-
plish their plan without a fight. Yes
terday morning President Koepfi of
the Municipal league and Secretary
Willard made known their objections
by a petition for injunction filed with
the county clerk.
Say Amendment Was Hurried
The petition stated that the council
men, evidently in league with the liquor
interests, had hurried the amendment
through and that in order to dodge the
possibility of the referendum had stated
in the amendment that such action had
been taken for the welfare, for the i'm
mediate preservation of public peace,
health and safety and that such clause
was untrue regarding the amendment
passed.
1t further stated that the report of
passage was incorrect in that il stated
the number Of councilmen in the coun-
ell at the time of the passage of the
amendment to be nine, whereas there
were only eight. Councilman Kern's
place remaining untitled since his resig-
nation.
Judge Conrey granted a temporary
restraining order issued against the
mayor and the city clerk to prevent
either of them from passing on the
amendment.
AS result of the restraining order
the amendment will remain on file I'M
til January A, when it will be argued
before Judge Walter Bordwell of de-
partment nine of the superior court.
Even if the restraining order is re-
moved at that time the present admin
istration will have no chance to get
hold of the amendment and declare it
law, and it will be up TO the new add
ministration to handle the case,

CLEANS PISTOL
SHOOTS HIMSELF
DEATH INSTANTLY FOLLOWS
WOUND
Bullet Passes Entirely Through Mans
Body and Dents the Wall, but
Does Not Cut His
Clothing

william D. Mitchell, aged 81 years,
shot and instantly killed himself be-
tween 2 and 2:3O O'Clock this afternoon
at his home ON Piedmont drive near
Fair oaks avenue, Altadena. The evil
dence would Indicate that Mitchell had
gone to a shed in the rear Of the house
to clean a 3S-ca1iber revolver and that
while so engaged the weapon had been
accidentally discharged intiicting a
fatal wound.
The bullet entered just below the
heart and passed completely through
the body. one very peculiar thing
connected with the wound was the fact
that the bullet did not cut a hole in
the back of the mans clothing, but did
make a dent about half an inch deep
in the side of the wall behind him.
h George Mitchell brother of the de-
ceased, was talking to neighbor, S.
Craig, when the two heard the shot
They rushed to the scene and found
the man quite dead. Beside him was a
small stick with piece of cloth wrap
ped about the end, the stick evidently
whitfield down for a cleaning rod, and
small bottle of vaseline which had evil
IDENTIFY been used to oil the barrel Of
the revolver.
Every chamber of the gun had been
loaded and it is a mystery why the
man should have been cleaning the gun
while cartridges were in it unless he
contemplated suicide. He certainly
was attempting very dangerous ex-
pertinent
Late this afternoon George Mitchell,
the brother, stated to a Herald cor
respondent that he and his brother con-
templated trip to Arizona and that he
presumes the dead man was cleaning
his revolver preparatory to the trip.
He also stated that he was not aware
that his brother had a revolver.
The body is now at the Ives e. War

quest will be held, probably tomorrow.
