wANTED-.A CREED
BY AN SIoDHBHRA

BY AN SIoDHBHRA
Give me a creed that brings
Jehovah nearer
The complex facts of life;
Give me creed which makes my
brother dearer,
And adds not strife to strife.
A creed which DER the soul can
hold dominion
And issue in content;
Whose confidence is not a vague
opinion,
Nor faith dead assent.
A sign which Ger the waste of
speculation,
Will show the surer way;
A light which in the night of
desolation
Will light me unto day.
Synods and schools that hedge the
way to Heaven
With thorns for tender feet;
Canons and paper creeds for truth
have given
The bitter for the sweet!
Are these the Gospel and the
prophets vision,
The light from Heaven above?
Is this tn unfolding of his blessed
mission,
Who told us Thou shalt love?"
Are these the answer to the mute
appealing
That rises vague within
An infants hand into it's fathers
stealing
In terror of its sin?
Or are these words to speak the
sweet awakening
Of Hope amid the dust,
When hearts in bitter pain, re-
pentant, breaking,
Can only sob, Il trust?"
No, till words voice the sorrow of
the ocean
That sobs all night abroad,
Words cannot bound the duty or
devotion
Of souls that thirst for God.
Tell me not how the Fathers
stride before me
In orthodoxy shod;
But let me feel the spirit brood
ing Ger me,
Of glory and of God.
From the Dublin Nation.

because the word "obev" occurs in

not leave the word out? 1t is hu-

last night. 'They are not the grand
jury. That body made it's report on

to base a report. The other is simply
the opinion of six individuals written

attack me on the ground of habitually

W00LWINE ASERTS NOT
HALF is YET REVEALED
Former City Prosecutor Thinks Report
of Grand Jury Is Couched in Lam
guage Much Too Mild

Thomas Lee Woolwine, former city
prosecutor, to whose initiative is due
the investigation into the protected vice
charges, had this to say regarding the
majority report made to Judge James
by the. grand jury yesterday:
Upon the very Threshold of this in
vestigation a determined effort was
made to smother and suppress it, the
district attorney publicly declaring be-
fore [ had told one-half my story, that
the charges were absolutely groundless.
am satisfied that, by reason of the at
tltude OF that officer, a full, fair and
complete investigation by the grand
jury was rendered impossible, and if
properly conducted by prosecuting
officer with a proper regard for his oath
of Office there would today be a very
different story to tell.
However, I am deeply gratified that
the charges of vice protection have in
many essentials been fully sustained,
though the report is couched in Ian
guage far too mild. Not half the foul
story of official rottenness has as yet
been barred to the public gaze. How
ever, an opportunity now presents it
self when the issues and principles in
volved in these charges can be fought
to finish in the open, unhampered by
faithless public officers.
Mayor Harper not only should be re-
called, but he should have been turned
out of Office long ago. / would be will
ing to support any man that has proper
qualification and is willing to put up an
uncompromiSing fight against Harper
for the Office of mayor"

representation
We trust the present legislature will amend
the laws In these respects so that guilty parties
may receive due punishment.
Quite large number of cases which we
nave investigated have been referred back to
the district attorney for further investigation
ana for gathering further evidence, and we
confidently expect that such cases will receive
the due attention of that office and that in
formations will be filed wherever there is a
tatr prospect of conviction.
This grand jury first convened on the
zeth OF July, 1908. has. after more than six
months of its existence, sixtythree sessions
ana many committee meetings, the honor
herein to submit its final report
II there appear to be any shortcomings
IN its work, reported above it may fairly
be attributed to the long and arduous inves-
tlgation by the entire jury, of the matters
upon which the special committee has for
mulated the report.
The grand jury had laid before it the
subject of sale Of bonds for three and one
half millions for highway or good roads
purposes, recently voted by the people Of the
county 1t examined seventeen witnesses in
regard to the matter and endeavored, as
far as its power enables it, to bring order
out of the chaos in which it seemed to have
become involved and saved for the county as
large portion of the expense and of the
profit of their sale as possible. The results
perhaps may be somewhat credited to the
efforts of this jury.
We take pleasure in commencing the
ponce Iorce OF the city OF Los Angeles in
rendering the conditions in Chinatown so
much more credItabIe to the city than here
tofore, and especially commend the work of
Police Sergeant Sebastian in this respect.
Gambling in Chinatown is practically sup
pressed, and SO far as this grand jury has
been able to ascertain throughout the rest
of the city to the extent that police force
of an inadequate number. like that of this
city, is competent to effect
AS to the city officials there is much
that might be said, in some instances about
the men appointed or elected to Office
their character, reputation and occupations.
previous or present. as well as their conduct
while in office; that would not be to their
credit, but this grand jury has found no
evidence of any misconduct so fragrant as to
enable it to demand removal from office or
warrant it in holding up officials by name
to the public or judicial reprobation We
hope and trust that future grand juries will
make the subject one for their careful con-
sideration and thus hold over-the men who
manage the citys public affairs a menace
that will control them to conduct them
selves, both publicly and privately, with
dignity and propriety well as honestly
