BROADHEAD

GITIZENS are keenly interested in
the outcome of the trial of Thom-
~ as H. Broadhead, suspended cap
tain of police, who is charged with
incompetency and neglect of duty 'fn
his failure to comply with rule two
of the rules and regulations govern
ing the police department, in failing to
enforce the law relating to the sup
preston of gambling and prostitution
during the first half of the years
190S-19O9." It is charged that during
the Broadhead regime, in the time
stated, gambling and prostitution
were conducted in the city of Los An
geles in an open, fragrant and no
torious manner"
1t is highly important for the public
welfare that charges such as those
made by the Municipal league should
be sifted thoroughly. The reputation
of Los Angeles for decency and good
government should be guarded zeal
ously. The charges brought against
Broadhead are very serious, inasmuch
as they have to do with the moral
reputation of this community.

In truth, Commander Peary has dis

Since Robert Louis Stevenson was
writing his letters from across the sea
and "over the hills and far away no
such jewel has been added to the Ian
guage as the graceful letter sent from
Robert J. Burdette al Eventide to the
Temple Baptist Bible school. When a
literary man finds such an absolutely
fiawless gem for his collection he
cherishes it not merely as an example
of composition, but as a new example
of the all compelling force of heart
power which was the force behind
stevenson's "inimitable style" as it is
behind Burdette's. Blessed is the
teacher who says what he means and
means what he says.

Virtue Of Keeping Clean

Virtue of Keeping Clean
1t might be too much to say that
there is nothing SO easy as to keep
clean, since the subjugation of dirt
does mean labor. But it is not too

possible as to keep clean. Water is
plenty, soap is not prohibitive in price
and no better use can be made of labor
than to make things tidy and pure and
