BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS.

With the Taft club as an ardent
champion OF peace and harmony In
politics, with stirring sermon at last
Sunday S conference In favor OF charity
and peace toward our neiehbors, and
with the services tomorrow night at
the tabernacle given over to the In.
terests Of international peace, we Ger.
tainly ought to be started on an era OF
undying peace and good feeling. 1t
isn't our fault i we are not, for the
peaceful principles are being fred at
US thick and fast and we could scarce
escape them II we would. The peace
meeting tomorrow night is most time.
y, coming as 1t does In the wake Of
the seventeenth universal peace con.
ference, just held In London by the
society Of Friends. A resume OF the
talks given at that conferen. e would
form entertaining and instructive ma.
terial for q peace meeting In any part
Of the globe. The Quakers have for
centuries been the staunchest advo-
Gates Of the quiet life, and we wonder
that anti.pugnacious assemblies have
taken so little account of the Quaker
principles and the way the Friends
have stood up for them. At the Lon.
don meeting there were representa-.
tives from one hundred different socie.
ties coming from sixteen countries.
Among the distinguished guests was
the Baroness Bertha Won Suttner of
Austria, the author Of the well.known
peace novel "Waffen Nieder" or
Ground Arms" as 1t Is called in the
English translation. The book Is prob
ably not so we'll known to Logan
readers as 1t should be, inasmuch as
we unfortunately have not yet reached
that stage Of civilization which In.
cludes public library. No one can
claim, however, to be familiar with
the peace movement In all its length
and breadth who has not read this
notable novel.

One Of the most fetching features OF
the LAYING Of the corner stone OF St.
Johns Church this evening will e
the presence Of the A. C. Woman's
club. The members will sit on the
stand picturesquely grouped about
their president. The golden heart Of
a rose surrounded by its dainty, frag-
rant petals could not present a more
attractive appearance. Another In.
terestine incident Is the fact that
Mayor Edwards who gives the speech
OF welcome to the guests was also
present at the laying Of the corner

years ago. With the mayor and the

One OF the most childish objections
that we have heard urged against
Judge Vaughan is the fact that he is
one Of the lessees OF newspaper. 1t
is maintained that with a newspaper
behind him he is dangerous man.
From our point Of view we should con.
slider 1t distinct advantage both to
the judge and the public which he
serves. He was elected because Of his
opinions and his paper is the means of
making these opinions reach a larger
class Of people. He stands for the
republican party, for justice impair.

spirit Of fairness In every walk of life.
What better medium for propoupding
these ideas than newspaper or what
better profession for putting them

not rare in our history to see men
prominent In political life who are
connected 10 some way with newspa.

OF influence as wide as possible and

OF doing It. Congressman Howell's

DESPONDENT, I'LL,
KILLS HIMSELF
Recent Arrival from South Bend, Ind
Shoots Himself Through the
Heart in Wall Street
Lodging House

Richard Robertson of South Bend,
Ind, known in Los Angeles since his
arrival here two weeks ago as Robert
Wright, committed suicide some time
Tuesday afternoon by shooting himself
through the heart in his room at 548
Wall street.
The body was not discovered until
last night when John Hanson, an em-
ploye of the house, broke down the
door of the room and found the body
lying on the bed with a bullet hole in
the left breast and a cheap revolver
clasped in the right hand.
Robertson arrived here two weeks
ago from San Francisco and secured IA
room at the Wall street house. Ho
paid in advance for two weeks and
stated that he had come here to look
for work and also for the benefit of his
health.
He was seen to go to his room Tues
day and at about o'clock the muffled
report of a shot was heard by num-
ber of persons in the house, but it was
not thought to have been in the house
and no investigation was made of 1t.
Last night the porter in making his
rounds found that room IL, which was
occupied by Robertson or Wright, had
not been opened during the day and ne
looked over the transom.
The body of the man was seen lying
on the bed and something unnatural in
the position caused the porter to break
in the door. 1t was found that the
man was dead
At Pierce Brothers morgue, where
the body was taken after the coroner
had been notified, a note was found in
the pocket of the coat which read as
follows:
IT can no longer struggle for this
plain. common living. Too free
hearted and unfortunate. Bury me
here. | have no home, but l have a
little sister in South Bend, Ind. My
true name is Richard Robertson"
There was no money or other papers
found on the body. The authorities at
south Bend will be communicated with.
An inquest will be held today.
