FERRER CASE AN
ISSUE IN PARIS
Bureau of City Council
Quits When Street is
Not Named for
Ferrer
BY United Press wire.

Paris, Oct. 26.--With the resigna-
tion of the bureau" OF the city coun-
Gil today, the Ferrer incident became
almost as much an issue In Paris as
II ever was in Spain. The bureau,
which comprises the president Vice
president, secretary and syndic of
the council, rendered their resigna-
tions in a body and left the council
, chamber today when the council re-
fused to adopt a resolution, giving
the name of Francisco Ferrer to a
Paris street, and providing for the
education at public expense of the
children of Trinidad Ferrer, daugh-
ter of the Spanish revolutionist, who
lives in Paris.
The resolutions introduced by the
bureau collectively. They de-
clarcd themselves deeply moved By
the attack on human personality and
indignant at the defiance Of the con-
science OF the university ION the part
of the Spanish government
The proposition proved storm OF
opposition. In u moment several
members of the council were on their
feet demanding that the resolution
be withdrawn and declaring that the
president of the council wishes "
do for foreign anarchist, that which
he failed to do for Emile Iola, a
French patriot"
The debate grew so heated that the
president, vice president, secretary
and syndic shouted their designations
to the assembly and strobe from the
room.
Another Ferrer demonstration will
parade through the streets of Paris
next sunday. The free thinkers, who
will be in convention then, have ar.
ranged for parade and genera
demonstration against Spain

Car Nicholas and King vi6or
Emmanuel have met and exchanged
greetings. 1t would Indeed be difficult
to imagine two rulers with different
tendencies, meeting. During the re-
cent earthquake, King Victor and his
queen went into the stricken district
and labored with their own hands to
relieve the suffering of the refugees
and victims. Disregarding their own
welfare, and Drawing the dangers of
disease, they worked among their sub
jects, doing all In their power to
lend assistance At the same time,
Car Nicholas was pursuing policy
In Russia, which brought death to
hundreds of his subjects. Last year
the executions in Russia numbered
more than eight hundred and they
we're practically an the result OF the
policy which has been prosecuted Dy
the Car. Oppression led to rebellion
upon the part of many persons and
their executions was decreed as "a
direct result. 1t would certainly be
blessing tc Russians, if King Victor
should be able to instill a little of
his love for his subjects into the
czar.

TIE PAST AND THE PRESENT

Some people do not seem to realize
that the campaign on the liquor ques-

about the proposition just as though
the people had not registered their
verdict in compliance with the Rose

possibly follow the verdict of the
people one year ago. is that Of the
enforcement of the law wiich was

and it seems that the temperance
cry is to be given for years to come
in all political contests.
As we have outlined at various
times, the temperance question does
not enter into the question now at
any stage Marion county is dry
