No Democratic circuit judge
sitting at the assizes in this county
has ever been known to score a
jury for bringing in verdict of
acquittal in liquor cases where he
might have thought the evidence
demanded conviction. So we will
say to the Independent that when
it notes that Republican Judge
has risen to such an occasion we
will admit that progress is being
made. We know nothing of the
merits of the case alluded to, but the
jurors who sat in it with whom we
have spoken seem satisfied in their
conscience rs to the equity of the
justice they handed out.

The Lid Pays Dividends.

In Minneapolis this movement

moral and economic effects on the
CITY haye been marked. No long

for the first time to view the sights

his hard earned dollars; no Ion ger

Only 700 Per Cent.

Mr.. Pierco's admission that the
profits of tho Waters Pierce Oil
Co. amount to 600 or 700 per cont
per annum is well calculated to
emphasize the anti-moropoly issue.
An enterprise which gets back
its capital six or seven times in a
year is an economic enormity. On
the face of it, it is ans ADVERTISE
ment of the cost of a monopoly to
the people. Oil is one of the nee
essaries of life. The community
cannot exist without it. And yet
by means of monopoly the Waters
Pierce company can compel the
consumers to pay five or six times
what it is worth under natural
conditions of production and dis
tribution; that is in condition of
competition.
Farmers who think of dollar
wheat us the climax of blessings,
merchants who hope for ten per
cent return as profit and recon-
pense for unAagging attention to
business, manufacturers whom
competition holds down to Il mod
est 6 per cent-these will wonder
how it happens that the Standard
and Waters-Pierce men are able to
defy all natural laws of trade. 1t

The Journal is meyer given to
fuisome effusiyncss on any sahlect,
and it is without any strain upon
this estimable rule for us to say
that the Republican county ticket
nominated here last Saturday COM
mends itself without an eXcep-
tion to the people of the county
for its cleanliness. With Mr.. G.
n. Banta for Representative the
ticket is headed by a high minded
man, who would resort to no prac-
tees that would bring reproach
upon himself or the party whose
standard he carries. Judges Page,
Paul and Martin, who have all
been renominated to the county
court bench, are all worthy Of re-
election. In S. q. Nipper the
party has selected candidate for
prosecuting attorney in whom the
public may have full confidence
in the enforcement of the laws if he
is elected. The integrity of Sheriff
j. W. Collins and Collector j. Z.
Whitehead, both renominated, is
beyond question, and both should
receive mcrited re- election. Judge
II. Hawkins and N. F. Robinson,
nominees for county clerk and
comfy treasurer, respectfully, are
men who commend themselves to
the voters through their past ser
vices in public office as we'll as
through their qualifications and
standing as good citizens. }. w.
Houston, the nominee for circuit
clerk, is one of the best qualified
men in the county for that office
and one who demonstrates his
character in the pledge that he will
hold his canvass for the Office
clear of improper methods. Judge
j. A. Henson, renominated for
probate Judge, and DR.. 6. =.
Smiley, nominated for coroner,
are both good citizens of the Old
war veteran class and good mater
ial for public officers. The Demo-
Gratis cannot put up ticket of
better are more competent men.

COUNCIL TO ACT
ON FRANCHISES
ORDINANCES TO BE REPORTED
THIS AFTERNOON
Mayor Will Send Veto Messages to
City Lawmakers on Fifth Street
and Voting Machine
Measures

Much business confronts the city
council for its meeting today as it's
days are numbered. Certain interests
want legislation passed, while others
want legislation suppressed.
Veto messages are to be sent in from
the mayor, one referring to the ordi-
nance granting free to the Southern
Pacific a strip of land on East Fifth
from Central avenue to the Arcade de-
pot. Another Objectionable ordinance
which will be returned applies to the
voting machine measure which, by a
system of claims under $500, avoiding
charter provisions, enables the voting
machine interests to get a larger sum
than the mayor deems just.
City Attorney Leslie Hewitt will re-
port on the subway and tunnel ordi-
nances, it is expected, and also on the
legality of insisting on a 25-cent round
trip rate to the beaches. 1t is under
stood that the city counselor will hold
that the city has a right to specify the
rates of fare. The compensation fea-
ture in the franchise ordinances how
ever will be left blank and a lively
debate may arise in the council as a
result.
Representa- tives of the Municipal
league and reform organizations will
be on hand to hear the discussion.
From the building inspectors depart
ment revised ordinances will be pre-
sented bearing on the safety of the
public in theaters, churches and halls.
All theaters have now complied with
the instructions from Inspector Backus
and the churches have been notified to
do away with all portable seats in the
aiSles.

WANT CHANGES IN
CIVIL SERVICE
Business Men Believe Practical Men
Should Be Placed on Commits
sion to Examine Police
and Firemen

Owing to the fact that because of
civil service examinations the city has
been unable to secure the number Of
police officers required an effort is be-
ing made by many business men of
Los Angeles to secure the appointment
of two extra members to the board, one
to be former police officer either
chief, lieutenant, captain or sergeant,
and the other a former fireman.
This plan has been adopted by many
Of the eastern cities and has been found
to work splendidly. Prominent busi-
ness men are always the directors of
such a commission. but for the prac-
tical questions for examinations it has
been found that those questions made
out by former policemen or firemen al
ways meet the requirements.
Recently Los Angeles authorities in
creased the number of police officers
and men were advertised for. A num-
ber responded and took the examina-
tions, and some passed. Others did
not. 1t has been stated that on one re-
cent occasion one of the questions put
to the prospective officers was: What
Is one-sixteenth of an -.rrest?" The
men, probably thinking some technical
term of the department was implied,
stated that they did not know. There
is no such term in the police depart
ment, according to police officials.
1t is said, however, that the commits
sioners do not make out the questions,
but govern the examinations while sec
retaries and clerks attend to the giving
of questions,

TATTOO MARKS

WEIRD DESIGNS ON DEAD

No Evidence of Suicide or Violence,
and Coroner Will Have to ln-
quire Into Cause of
Death

Did John w. Chapman, the man who
was found dead in his bed at 337 Com
mercal street Saturday, belong to
some strange religious or secret or
ganization whose mystic signs of weird
appearance are known only to the in.
itiated? If not, what then did the
strange tattOoing on his arms mean
What means the skull and cross bones
tattooed on his left forearm with the
word death" beneath it, and the wild
appearing animal on his right forearm
with the word "helP' beneath that?
Why should a man as reserved as
Chapman was known to be among his
friends wear such marks? Such are
the questions those who know him are
endeavoring to answer for they state
that he was not one who would have
such things tattooed on his body from
mere idle caprice.
Chapman was found by other dodgers
i'm the house, stretched out beneath
the covering of his bed, fully dressed
with the exception of his coat. 1t ap-
peared as If he had lain down to rest
and the spirit had flown from his body
during the time he was asleep. No
signs of suicide appear, yet the case
is so strange and the peculiar marks
on his arms are of such a nature that
coroner's inquest win be held today
to decide the cause of his death
Chapman has been employed for sew
eral years in the barber shop on Com
mercial street, a few doors from where
he roomed. There he is said to have
been one of the most quiet men. He
refused TO mention his relations, or
anything about his early life, and only
once in great while let fail any re-
marks which let light into his past
life once he mentioned a brother,
who is thought to live in California,
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-24

while a second time he spoke of two
sisters who resided in Los Angeles,
but did not give their names.
When his room was searched small
notebook was found and in it small
piece of paper, which read:
I'm case of accident my name Is
John W. Chapman. l am so years of
age and live at 337 Commercial street,
and that was all. A few other paper 8
were found, among them several re-
ceipts for dues. showing that Chap
man was a member Of the Native Sons
and was born in Los Angeles.
1t was said by those who knew him
i'm the neighborhood that he was some
times known by the name of G., w.
Fuller and that many people in the
city had met him under that name.
The body was taken to Bresee Bros
undertaking parlors, where an inquest
will be held this morning.

Botany Not Needed

"A good fireman on the commission,
who understands just exactly what the
green fireman would have to do in a
pinch, would be a proper person to eX-
anime fremen," said George Conart
yesterday. Conart is one of the best
known examiners on commissions in
the west.
"When q fireman meets the hard
questions in a fire it does not take
arithmetic. nor algebra, nor botany to
tell him what to do. 1t takes the nerve
of a brave man and great slice of
good hard common sense. It is all
right for a fireman to be educated, and
many of the boys are well educated.
That will serve them when they rise
high up in the ranks, but for the be-
ginners it is the practical work that
counts. A hoSeman must be given
different examination from a man who
is TO work with the engine, the lieuten-
ant or captain a different set of ques-
tions from hoseman or chief.
''It is the same way with a police Of
ficer. A well educated officer is all
right, but if a man has pretty good
education it is ten to one he is going
to look about for a great deal better
position with less work attached to it.

perate prisoner, which does not require
wonderful amount of study; must be
civil and courteous, and be able to keep
cool when everybody else is excited.
AS a result, practical questions are the
kind for candidate for that position.
An officer has copy of the City ordi-
nances with him. If he sees a violation
| he has to make an arrest. 1t does not
require a long course in astronomy to
assure him that he ought to make that
arrest, and brains are not needed when
a man steps up and takes charge of a
prisoner. If the prisoner fights, then
all the examinations in the world would
not fit a man for the emergency unless
he was muscular, quick and active. AS
result, many of the boys fail to pass
the examination, when they might
make the best kind of officers.
when an officer has shown his eff
cheney and has q good idea of prac-
tical work, then an education would
come in handy in trying for the detect
