Use of Office for Private

Washington, Jan. S-As the re-

BENJAMIN r. Til,man, senate
from South Carolina, may b
classed by pubic opinion witt
Joseph Is. Foraker as a senator
who was ready to use his great
Office for private gain. BY a
coincidence the exposure in b1tt
instances came from the senator
own letters. The fact was cCm
mented on also, that While the
House was "v'ndicat'ng" itsal
and Congress from the i'm utl

involving one of the members OF
the legislative branch wGs await

his influence as a senator in an

II NTERING upon its seventh year.
H. Progressive court No. 1927, Court
- of Honor, of Los Angeles made
the occasion of its regular session,
October, 4, memorable by the installa-
ton of its officers for the ensuing
year.
DR.. j. S. Jones, manager and owner
of the Los Angeles hospital and men,
ber of forty standard fraternal So
cieties, acted as deputy supreme
chancellor, and conducted the impress
sive installation ceremonies with the
grace and dignity acquired by similar
previous experiences. Several of the
officers having performed effective
work last year, entered upon this,
their second term, chief among them
being Chancellor ]. d, Rethorst, who
by the earnest effective performance
of the duties of his office, has gained
the respect and trust of his fellow
court members. He is a quiet, digntfied
man of few words, manager of the
Portland hotel, has endeared himself
to the members of the court of honor,
1927, by the cal and earnestness with
which he has discharged the duties OIL
his office as chancellor, the chief ex
ecutive of the lodge.
Those installed were chancellor J.
d. Rethorst; vice chancellor, Mrs. e.
NJ. Burt post cndnCellor, Geo. non,
recorder, A. Smith; chaplain, Anna
Oswald; guards, r. Gibson; conduct
ress, Lillian Kelley; sentry, F. Duke;
director j. Mallett.
During the business session. resolu-
tions were adopted TO lessen the
lodge rates per month. Coincidence
and sympathy were extended to Dep
uty Medbery, on the recent loss of
his home and valuables by fire.
Brother Medbery's work in the inter
ests of the court has commended him
to the entire membership.
Two limitations added that member
to the rapidly growing court of honor
family.
During the social hour, which closed
the evening, Miss Sutliff furnished in
strumental music, and an able COM
mittee served refreshments. Aspara-
gus, ferns and carnations were used
very prettily in decorating.

7 OS ANGELES council Y. NJ. l.
entertained their young woman
AA friends last evening who are to
take an active part in the carnival OF
nations which will be held in Cum
mock hall Friday and Saturday even
ings of this week.
After the address of welcome ana
short instructions given by Leo Rose
Grams, president of the council, the
gavel was turned over to the worthy
lecturer, Charles King, who conducted
q very interesting program.
After the program light refreshments
were served under the direction of the
refreshment committee in charge of
Bernard Hagan,
The girls then were given their full
instructions by the chairmen of the
different subcommittee. Costumes
were provided for and everything made
ready for the big carnival the latter
part of the week.
Gus A Murphy, who is one of the
active members of the council, Will
assist Bernard Hagan in the German
booth, which is expected to be one of
the attractive features of the carnival
Los Angeles council could have made
no better move than to entertain its
young woman helpers, for it imbued
the members with the spirit which ami
mates all the members. If real hard
work combined with youthful enthusi-
asm is an assurance of success the
members of Los Angeles council and
their woman friends will certainly
make the carnival of nations an event
long to be remembered.

NEWMAN CLUB

The Newman club held its Septem-
ber meeting and dinner at Levy's, says
the Tidings. There was a full attend
ance of members, who listened to a
most interesting paper presented by
DR.. Francis L. Anton on "The Basis
of Medical Ethics" The paper, which
necessarily was somewhat technical,
treated principally on the question as
to whether a physician was justified
in fastening the death of patient
hopelessly i'll, suffering intensely and
for whom there was no other relief
He stated that "the true basis of med
ical ethics must be found in the moral
principles of the medical practice, and
these principles rest not only upon the
higher laws which determine whether
a thing is right or wrong, Independent
of what men have chosen to call right
or wrong by their code of law. Our
unfailing index to those higher laws
is our conscience, but 1T must be a
sensitive conscience. not one that has
been badly blinded by being frequent
ly stifed," and that the physician
should be more conscientious in obey
ing the dictates of the higher law than
any other class of men.
The paper was ably discussed by Dr.
P S. Dougherty and DIR. w. r. Ma
loney, who agreed with DR.. Anton that
Catholic physicians at least were
bound by the law of the church in
that regard. no matter what permis-
sion might be granted by state laws.
DR.. Dougherty cited several instances
in his practice where patients, who
afterward recovered and still are liv-
ing, We're given over to death by the
attending non-Catholic physician, who
only refrained from easing passage of
the patient into eternity by the deter
mined protest of the Catholic doctor
called in consultation.
