look for bread through that labor.
With what peace is 1t possible for any

at his own table and see his children
feast on good things and know he de-
liberately took bread from hundreds of
workingmens children for the shame

The whole business is moral crime

oft-boasted inherent power to publicly

SALOON LICENSES

! TIME perversity of human nature is
most unhappily instanced just now
Il in Los Angeles. Only two short
weeks ago and all the people of the
county, rich, poor, resident and nom
resident freeholders, all swelled the
chorus that made it possible to vote a
$23,000,000 tax upon the county for a
great water project, the completion of
which shall make this city the owner
Now come a few designing, tricky,
wire-pulling supervisors, elected to office
| by the men who voted these bonds, and
deliberately and in the face of organized
and respectable protest license the one
sure means of hindrance to the prompt
execution Of the needed work. Ninety
nine men out of every hundred in Los
Angeles voted $2SOOO,OOO to build a
water works, and four or five men,
chosen by these voters, deliberately
connive to defeat public will. This is
perversity extraordinary.
| Certain brewery and wholesale liquor
| interests would dot the line of labor
for every mile of it's length with dead
falls for the sale of adulterated cheap
| liquor to the army of workmen, and
for the money so obtained they are
willing to see the votes-of all the people
rendered powerless and a great and
much needed public undertaking ham,
strung with a drunken and rowdy army
of labor, deployed from Los Angeles to
Owens river. This is perversity more
extraordinary.
A certain coterie of men in the board
of supervisors, elected to do the will OF
the people of Los Angeles county, by
reason of the influence of these liquor
interests on them, deliberately falsify
their prediction pledges and go back
on moral decency, and for causes not
made public vote to fill the jails of the
county with drunkards and criminals
impede the construction of the aque.
duct, connive against the peace of the
people and irretrievably damn tn,
whole undertaking for paltry politica
pull. This is perversity most extraor,
dinary.
The contemplate act Of the super
visors is by them defended on the idiotit
claim that to refuse licenses is class
Legislation.
The district attorney officially states
this is a falsehood. Here is more super
visorial perversity. The giving or with
holding of license to ruin the worl
and the men who attempt it is purely al
act of the free will and discretion of tn
supervisors and no man may interfer
therein.
Under these established facts the &C
of the supervisors is a direct and meal
insult to the people and places the mel

MAYOR E. R. TAYLOR

NY virtue of a supreme court de-
II cision DR.. Edward r. Taylor /:
u declared to be, de facto and dc
jure, mayor of San Francisco, land al
the clouds that lowered" on the for.
tunes of that city are ain the deer
bosom of the ocean buried" This is
just at this time, an inestimable bless
ing to the whole nation and particu-
larly to unhappy San Francisco, as IL
opens and illuminates the way out OF
her slough of despond and fortifies the
courage of the men who are battling to
free her from her grave dangers.
With the mayoralty question settled,
the board of supervisors may now pro-
ceed to enact legislation sadly needed,
and order from chaos will soon appear.
The supervisors may now attack press
ing questions and put municipal ma
chinery in operation in all depart
ments.
The initial act of Mayor Taylor under
the ruling was the appointing of new
board of police commissioners, and the
work of these men is so far-reaching
for good that in one week they may
undo much of the ordained deviltry of
their predecessors and clean out the
tainted and discredited department.
The decision also forestalls the result
of any appeal to reach that court on
errors and exceptions as noted against
the rulings and work of so careful and
competent a man as Judge Dunno, and
it is fair to presume that the day of
Schmitz and Ruef is over in California.
There is one dread chance that may
be made to help them. and that is by
the coalition of union labor and certain
disaffected enemies of District Attorney
Langdon, which may be made to de-
feat him and possibly to elect Schmitz
and some tool of the gang to be dis
prosecution and undo all that has been
accomplished. There is hope in the
hearts of men generally that such
consummation may not be and that the
whole mob of malcontents, criminals
and indicted boodlers may be over
come and summarily dealt with.
With the decision of the supreme
court ringing in their ears, the gallant
and able men charged with the saliva
tion of unhappy San Francisco may
turn to their labors with courage, know
ing that the best wishes of good men
and women everywhere attend them for
unlimited success.

| clients case; but sometimes l fear they
were intentional. 1 doubt not other judges
would make a similar statement of their
own experiences. Indeed, the judges must
largely rely on the statements of counsel,
for in the vast volume of business which
comes before most of them there is no
opportunity for personal examination
of Che truthfuness of every such state
ment
Honesty with the public presents q
more difficult and uncertain question.
What does it require? Can any better
rule be given than to be ever thoroughly
loyal to honor and honesty? No lawyer
is called upon to do any dishonest or dis
honorable thing for his client. If the cli-
ent demands 1t declination is imperative
and If the demand Is persisted in termn-
alton of employment is equally impera-
tive. OF course, lawyers are subject to
all the limitations and weaknesses of hui
man nature, and profitable employment
often clouds the vision. And there is
where shines one characteristic of the
ideal lawyer His vision is not blinded.
He looks above the golden calf and the
shouting crowd, and ever sees on the
lofty SUBMITS of Sinai the tables of stone
chiseled with imperishable truth by the
finger of God.
Other Qualifications
But while the ideal lawyer must be an
honest man the converse is not true. An
honest man will not always make an Ideal
lawyer He must be a constant student.
The law reaches in every direction, touch
ing every branch of knowledge and life.
But knowledge Of the law is not alone
sufficient. There must be that mental
power which enables the possessor to ap-
ply his knowledge to the facts OF the case
and determine the controlling principles.
Finally, 1t may be said that the true
lawyer never forgets the obligations which
he as lawyer owes to the Republic-that
he always remembers that he is citizen.
In general way 1t may be said that the
duties of citizenship rest upon ally and
that no one in this Republic can ever
ignore those duties and yet claim to live
an ideal life. This may be conceded.
But there are special obligations resting
upon the profession, and this because of
its prominence in public affairs. That
prominence demands not alone the ordi-
nary duties of citizenship, but also higher
and special duties.
So sum the matter up with the state
ment that the ideal lawyer will be
thoroughly honest in all his relations to
individuals and the public; that he will
be a constant student; that he must
possess brain power and common sense,
and that he will never forget that he is
a. citizen, and that the veal or woe of
the public depends largely on his loyalty
to high ideals.
