The Greeks began their year in Sep
tember. Our Labor day was their New
Years day. They did this because their
families spent the summer at the sea-
shore at considerable expense, while the
men played poker at home at even more
expense. This left the Greeks badly in
the hole, and the only way they could
get out was to have the new yeays begin
September ! and swear off drinking and
smoking at that time. This enabled them
TO save in September what we save IN
January, and was a much better plan
than ours.

TALK VS.. ACTION

VIZ IDELY heralded promises of the
wv administration on the subject of
the punishment of corporate
robbers and trust wrongdoers have
come to be so numerous and frequent
that the people may be excused If they
ask for a modicum of performance
every once in a while. The following
from two addresses by the president,
delivered three months apart and at
noted public gatherings, call for some
adequate fulfllment, and till it comes
the people may well be excused if they
take his further utterances cum grano

1t is of just such utterances the peo-
pie complain when there is no corre-
spending action to give them form,
and especially when there are so many
cases in which the government could
take the initiative just now. There is
grave reason to fear the influence of
Wall street on these prosecutions, and
if President Roosevelt would establish
himself in the confidence of the people
he could accomplish that desired end
by talking less and acting more. Even
aside from partisan prejudice there are
thousands of his own party who long
to see something. more than idle threats
in a matter so close to the nation and
so earnestly looked for.
From the dilatory tactics of the at |
torney generals office in these great |
graft and rebate cases it would seem |
that 7ef the making of laws in threat

books, there is to be no end; and that |

should be at liberty to start the stone

ance of the punishment of these arch
offenders.

Iowans in California.

On February 25th the Iowans at
Los Angeles, California, and vicin-
ity picnicked in one of the parks of
that city. Referring to the event a
Los Angeles paper says:
''Eastlake park proved to be a
small spot on the map after all. An
old timer said it reminded him of
the grasshopper raid which cleaned
out most Of the Hawkeye state many
years ago. 1t was estimated that
more than $4,000 persons who had
escaped from Iowa to the Land Of
Sunshine participated in the event.
without doubt it was the largest
aggregation of lunch baskets ever
seen at one time on these shores.
They contained the genuine, simon
pure, hand made cooking, too.
"The hour was responsible for the
happiest time OF the entire year for
the grandfathers and grandmothers
especially. The crowd was divided
by counties, ninety-nine headquar-
tiers being established in various
parts of the park.
"The arrangement brought about
many reunions Of happy character
Men and women who had not met
fer many years rushed upon each
other, wrung hands, patted eacl
other on the back and shouted front
names with much enthusiasm.
We'll, we'll, well!!' was phrase
which was worked overtime Il
was cried in every tone and in
tonation. And those who were no
acquainted started the ball rolling
with:

j Walter NJ. Chandler of the New
York bar Thursday lcctured at the
Shrine temple from the subject,
1.-THE Trial of Jesus from a Lawyers
Standpoint" The lecturer evidenced
deep learning in his discourse, which
covered wider range than indica-
ted by the subject. He gave the
Roman laws under which Christ
was supposed to have been tried and
the facts of the trial showing that
all rules of law and evidence were
thrown aside to make possible the
conviction of the King Of the Jews.
The speaker paid high tribute to
the intellectual attainment of the
Jewish people styling the persecu-
tors Of Christ as a mere mob of the
rabble. He denounced mob vio-
lence in any form and in q flight of
oratory condemned the lynchings and
race prejudice. The lecture was
next to the last in the series of down
town lectures under the auspices of
the First M. Z. church.
