SOLID STUPIDITY

~ OLIDITY and stupidity begin with
the same letter, and we think in
~ the case Of the supervisors the
terms are interchangeable. If the su-
pervisorial gentlemen forget or neglect
the important fact the people voted the
good roads bonds with the distinct un-
derstanding the supervisors were to act
in concert or in conjunction with the
highway commission and the advisory
committee, and share a tripartite re-
sponsibility for the honest expenditure
of the good roads funds and the fair
and square construction of the good
roads, then they are certainly tempt
ing fate. The observation-disclosures of the
supervisors as indicated by their APP
parent efforts to throw off the yoke of
public supervision is puzzling when it
is remembered the people voted the
bonds because they were informed and
believed their interests would be
guarded and every penny of the money
accounted for, and because they under
stood the advisory committee would re-
main on duty while the expenditures
incidental to road construction were
being made and should pass on the APP
pointment of members of the highway
commission. The attitude of the SUI
pervisors toward the advisory commit
tee is most amazing. The public can
not and must not allow official pledges
to be violated. The taxpayers cannot
permit the members of the advisory
committee to be bluffed out of office
The advisory committee owes duty tc
the public, and that duty is to stand
fast for the right and to protect public

APPROVES ENGLISH METHOD
OF DEALING WITH AUTolsTs

LOS ANGELES, July 23.-l Edito
Herald: The following press dispatcf
from New York was published In TO
days papers:
Justice Bischoff today signed the
certificate of organization OF The
Licensed Chauffeurs' Protective AS
ISOLATION of the City of New YORK,
a society of nearly b0Oo persons
whose object is to send to prison
reckless millionaire owners Of auto
mobiles, whose custom has been to
shift to their drivers responsibility
for death-dealing 10y riding"
Within less than two years more
than 1872 persons have been crushed
to death by automobiles in Greater
New York and vicinity, but only
twice were owners held responsible.
In those instances small fines were
imposed, but scores of chauffeurs
lost their licenses and dozens were
sent to the workhouse or peniten-
tiary.
The object of the organization
solely is to get at the owners OF the
cars who shift the blame for acc}-
dents and deaths upon the drivers

BORDER FEUD

TN the borderland the old codes OF
honor prevail Knighthood is still
Il in flower there, although it is q
quaint modern variant Of the knight
hood Of auld lang syne, Its weapons
are not sword or lance, but the bowie
knife and the gun. From time to time
stories Of the romance of the border
come to interrupt the continuity OF
humdrum metropolitan civilization
even as in modern music one may hear
occasionally a strain that is the echo
of a war chant Of the days whom might
was right. The feud that came TO Los
Angeles with Benson and Mathew is
as keen and bitter as any recorded in
the story books. When Benson slasned
Mayhem almost to death, the shocking
barbarity Of the deed made it almost
beyond the bounds of belief, But the
actual presence of one Of the com
batants, VINO was brought to Los An
geles in order that he might have his
wounds dressed, was o convincing
touch Of realism which helped even
the most incredulous to appreciate the
amazing fact that primal lawlessness,
with its blood lusts and its savagery,
turks at the very gates of civilization.
And now Benson and Mayhem meet
again. This time the luck is with May
hew, who has had his old antagonist
arrested on a charge of forgery. Mu-
tual friends say the quarrel viii be
intensified not settled, by the operation
Of civilized law and justice. And
whether the forgery charge is proved
Or disproyed, Benson and Mayhem
will meet again-in Arizona.

the first necessity on the program IS
the consolidation of Los Angeles and

LIE DOUx DECISION CAUSE
OF MUCH COMMENT
District Attorney and Attorney
General Petition for Relocating.
From Stockton Record.


The sheritfs and deputy sheriIfs in
California may have to look for new
| jobs.
That's what, iocularly speaking,
the recent decision of the supreme
court in the LIE Doux case is said to
mean. The principle point consider
ed in the appeal was the action of
sheriff Sibley and his deputies in
-arrestiug Mrs LeDoux for the murder
of Albert N. McVicar and then sum-
moning the jurors.
1t was argued that such Jurors
would be prejudiced against the de-
fendant. 1t naturally falls upon the
sheriff to summon the jurors and
likewise to run down criminals. 1t
is asked that il acting in one capa-
city bars him from the other, then
what's to be done.
District attorney McNoble went
to San Francisco and took the matter
up with attorney general Webb A
petition has been prepared asking the
supreme court for rehearing.
This is all the district attorney
and attorney general can do. They
must now wait upon the supreme
court until it informs them whether
or not rehearipg will be granted.
If rehearing is granted, then the
two representatives of the people will
again argue the matter on a day set
by the court. If the supreme court
states, 'rehearing denied" that
settles it.
Mr. McNoble, In explaining the
point hastily ran through a number
of decisions, nine out of ten of which
were followed with the following
brief but emphatic paragraph:
"Rehearing denied.
The LeDoux case caused state W ide
interest at the time of the trial. In
fact, the cpse was published even in
foreign papers. The decision of the
supreme court has raised point
which has aroused officials in all
sect lions of the state. If it follows
that the sheriff or his deputies who
gathered some of the evidence against
the defendant are prohibited from
performing the other duties, such as
the empanelliug of jurors, then some
other provision must be made for
carrying out these functions.
There is nothing, however, to pre-
vent the supreme court from revers-
ing its own decision, so the peoples
counsel have some. hope of present.
ing the case again before that tri
bunal.
Another cause given by the su :
preme court for granting the defend
ant a new trial is the failure of the
prosecution to prove the ordination
of the minister who married Mrs LIE
DouX.
The court has passed a hard one back
to the district attorney, as the minis
ter is said to have died in an asylum
in the east. MI McNoble says he
fails to see the Importance of the
