In the year 1714 one Daniel Gabriel
Fahrenheit brought to the chancellor
Of the University Of Halle two ther-

in registering temperatures that they
were considered marvels. All scien-

now one OF the three accepted stand

whittier the trail led. The results of
his persistent quest were as follows:
In the year 1894 three young men
set sail for America. They were John
Nolin, = young machinist, John Row
an, q mechanic, and John Merna, 4
mechanic. They arrived in New York
and ON May II, 1894. Merna declared
his intention of becoming q citizen
of the United States, took out his first
papers and gave his residence Is No.
Al Peck slip. New York. Nolin went
to Philadelphia,
The four Johns. after spending a
few days in Philadelphia, went to New
York. They stopped at the lodging
house of John M. Kerr, 45 Peck slip,
and hung about New York until De-
cember, 1899. when Rowan returned
to Ireland, and went to work at his
trade in Dublin. Nolin and Walsh ap-
piled to the South Brooklyn branch of
the Amalgamated Society Of Machin-
lists for donation money, which
amounts to 50 per week for those out
of work, and the request was complied
with by John A. Shearman, secretary
of the soiety, who worked in the
Pioneer Machine works in Brooklyn.
In the latter part of this month Nolin,
Walsh and Merna went to Washing
ton, D. C. Nolin remained there a
short time and then went on to Rich
mond, Va, where he obtained a job as
filter in a foundry.
On Christmas day. 1899, Merna
went to work as bartender in Wash
ington saloon, at 212 Ninth street, of
which Joseph McEnerney was pro-
prietor. and on January l Walsh was
given q similar position in the same
saloon. They relieved each other at
the bar and shared a room together
over the saloon. They worked as bar
tenders for McEnerney through Janu-
ary and February and along into
March, while Nolin stayed on in the
Richmond foundry. Early in March
Karl Dallman had registered at the
Stafford house, in Buffalo, and had
then gone away.
On Monday evening. March -. Mer-
ma was found dead in his room over
the saloon.
Somewhere about April 10, 1900,
Nolin received a communication from
a lodge to which he belonged, known
in secret circles as the Napper Tandy
club. 1t was a Clan-na-Gael organi-
zation and the members met at Tom

GOOD ROADS

TN an excellent address on the sub
ject of good roads Charles d.
Il Daggett, chairman of the Los
Angeles county highway commission,
said If the roads now being construct
ed are properly maintained they will
last for a hundred years, or as long
as they are properly cared for. we
think Mr.. Daggett's statement was eX-
tremely conservative. If he had said
a thousand years he could not have
been contradicted. Some of the best
roads in the island of Britain are the
old Roman roads, which have been
Gin commission" for about 1900 years.
During their long occupation of Eng
land. which for about four centuries
was a Roman colony, the Romans de-
voted themselves to building roads and
cities and systematizing traffic. The
sites of many of the greater English
cities were chosen carefully by the
Romans with reference to their access
sibility by a system of good roads and
their propinquity to harbors which
would give their commerce an outlet
by sea.
The two great Roman rules for sue
cessful commercial empire building,
good roads and good harbors, are being
illustrated in Southern California to-
day; and the fact that both are being
recognized and that Southern Califor-
MIA is being equipped with an excel
lent system of roads and with one of
the best and safest commercial har-
bors in the world is sufficient proof
that the future of our state will be
greatly affected for the better by the
magnificent future which certainly and
surely is before the sunny southern
section of it. Good roads and a great
harbor! With this slogan Los Angeles
and Southern California can confident
ly await whatever increase in respon-
sibility the years may bring.

TURKEY

HISTORY supplies no more romantic
IL and more thrillingly interesting
- story than that of Mehemmed v,
the new sultan of Turkey. For any
thing at all approaching parallel case
we must go back to the days OF the
Crusades when Richard Occur de Lion
of England was held prisoner while his
weak, tyrannical. stupid brother John
re,ened in his stead. Abdul Hamid is
the King John and Mehemmed the
Coeur de Lion of Turkey, and as history
has a curious fashion of repeating IT.
self. the same circumstances, Incidents
causes and consequences appearing
first in one country, then in another,
we may expect Turkey to respond to
the influence of the new ruler, VINO is
said to be kindly, generous and sin
oerely religious. In fact, among TURKS
he 70 an Admirable Crichton-a good
specimen of what his race may be when
emancipated from the traditions of the
Ottoman elders.
Mehemmed clings to one tradition OF
the elders which is inconsistent with
European and American views OF hte.
He has two wives. But when 1t Is re-
membered his religion and the custom
NJ his country permit a harem. 1t will
be acknowledged that, for Turk, he
is only a moderately married man. his
wives are said to be highly educated
and to dress in the French and not the
Oriental fashion. This means they do
not wear the veil in which Oriental
women are wont to disguise them
selves.
Turkey as a modern nation will be
much less of a problem than II was
during the days of despotlsm, when the
noliticians of Europe took turns at buy
ing the sultan and having him adopt
policies which suited their national am
billions.
The new chapter in the history of
Turkey will have a powerful influence
on the Asiatic continent. Asia, with
Turkey adopting modern civilization at
it's far west and Japan adopting mod
ern civilization at its far east, Will re-
spond to the double pressure, and there
will be a general and gradual awaken
ing. In one respect the influence OF
Turkey will counterbalance that of
japan. Any cry of Asia for the
Asiatics," which might be raised at any
future time, would be met with coun-
ter challenge, Europe for the Euro
peans." The changes in Turkey make
for world peace, and not for war. The
murderous rioting in Asia Minor Will
be ended, and European and missionary
interests will be protected by the sui
tan. who has given this promise:

High, 1 shall follow unswervingly the

honorably to all men, be they giaours

RAISIN DAY

ONCE statistics show the people OF
the United Kingdom eat annually
~ six times as many raisins ana
currants as the people of the United
States, the necessity and advantage OF
Raisin day become apparent Friday
should be devoted to a "demonstra-
ton" of the California raisin, the most
nutritive fruit in the world, easy to
cook, easy to eat and easy to digest.
Even when uncooked it is easy to eat
and to digest.
The condition of affairs with regard
to the raisin industry in the United
States is shown accurately by the
figures. Although there is holdover
of 60,00O,OOO pounds from last years
California raisin crop of 100,OO0,0OO
pounds, the people of the United States
imported SO,OO0,00O pounds of Greek
currants This shows importers are
so welded to the idea that for raisins
and currants the United States de-
ponds on Greece and that our currants
must be veritable "Corinths," that it
will need an object lesson of large pro-
portions and great force to produce in
them a new method of thinking of the
raisin and currant industry.
Perhaps the best way of persuading
the American housewife of the super
iority of the California raisin to the
imported fruit is to make her ac-
quainted with the conditions under
which foreign raisins are picked,
cured, packed and shipped. We will
not enter into the horrifying details
We will merely state there is no pure
food law in Greece and that the Hell
lenes do not believe cleanliness is next
to Goodness.
The pure food law should settle the
question of the raisins used in the
United States. Everybody knows the
history of the California raisin. 1t is
above suspicion. 1t is grown clearly,
picked clearly, packed cleanly. The
immense popularity of the raisin
abroad, especially in some of the
countries kindred to the United States,
is not appreciated here; and we be-
lieve a great deal of the blame for this
condition must be placed on the Dadly
misused word plum" In the United
States, Scotland and Ireland a plum
is a plum. 1t is a stone fruit which
grows on a tree. In Merrie England,
however, a plum is a raisin and an
English plum pudding is made with
juicy raisins. The immense popularity
of the raisin in England is due to the
fact it forms the basis of what is re-
garded by many as the English ma
tional dish. In the United States we
should naturalize plum pudding, but
we should call it by it's right name,
raisin pudding. We hope after Raisin
day California raisin pudding will be
on every bill of fare in the United
States, and there will be plentiful
stock of California raisins in every
housewives pantry.

THINKS WOMEN MAY HELP IN
MUNICIPAL HOUSEKEEPING

GARvANZA, April 26.-[Editor Her
with any body of people that has done
so much for the awakening of women
to the larger responsibilities of life as
our women's clubs have done, but
when we consider what has been done
1t is surely prophesy Of the possible
greater things they will do in the fu-
ture. If we as women could take hold
of the supreme art of living and be-
gin right at the doors of our individual
housekeeping which we have mastered
we would find an inspiring field Of
work In our much-loved city, which has
before It such a magnificent future.
Charles F. Edison in his address be-
fore the City club said: Politics is
life," and "In order to make civiliza-
ton worth while we must stop In our
rush for wealth and devote some of our
time and money to the cultivation OF
artistic ideals.'
The reconciliation can never come
about until woman works with man
and recognizes her responsibilities as a
worker In this large field, and, indeed,
as Froebel says, until "she takes part
by her educational abilities in the des-
tiny of nations"
William Dean Howells says EVERY
thing in the movement to give women
the suffrage appeals to my reverence
and sense of Justice. There is no other
hope for men but in their civic help"
Mr.. Edison also says "our schools do
not make citizens" This is a grave
charge, though we spend millions on
them and have not a more selfless and
consecrated set of workers than we
find in our schools. but we are In bond
age to the past abstract scholastic un-
related teaching. Man sees only one
side of the truth in the art of living,
and woman only one. Both must work
for the redemption of our schools, our
cities, our state and country. Then new
life will come into all iife's most mo-
mentous work. AS. DR.. Anna Shaw
says, the world so far has been ia
thered to death almost; little moth
ering would bring in new life.
Los Angeles having so nobly taken
the most disagreeable step In sub
DUNG vice and obtaining able and hon
est government, will now have every
incentive to build larger Los Angeles"
into the best, the cleanest, the most
beautiful city in the world. This it
cannot accomplish unless all her citi-
zens contribute their best effort to this
great purpose.

POLITICAL PARTIES

T THE Union League club Grant
n birthday dinner in Philadelphia,
IA President Taft delivered an ad-
dress distinguished for good Ameri-
canism rather than partisanship. He
said sectionalism was at an end in
the United States, where we are "all
in the same business boat in a more
emphatic sense than we ever were be-
fore in the history of the country"
He added q good opposition is neces-
sary to make the Republican party, II
it is to control, useful to the people,
and a defeat at times would not hurt
it."
What we need in the United States
is the highest efficiency in the public
service, local, state and national. AS
soon as the efficiency of party pc
comes impaired by a long tenure OF
power. then, as President Taft points
out, it's defeat is necessary for the we'll
being of the nation as well as for its
future preservation.
A country ruled perpetually by one
party may escape the consequences or
abuse in power, but it is better there
should be an occasional change. The
Republican party owes much to the
individuality of Theodore Roosevelt.
who insisted on governmental devotion
to the broader principles of American
ism rather than to the narrower shib-
boleths of partisanship.
Sometimes objection is made to the
quadrennial shakeup of the United
States by the presidential election, but
undoubtedly the nation owes much of
it's progress and vitality to the fact q
four-year presidential term was estab-
lished. The disorder to business which
is complained of is probably not as
costly as would be the consequences 10
the country if governmentally 1T got
into a rut. And, as President Taft
says, even more desirable than the
quadrennial change of administration
would be an occasional complete change
of government. All good Americans
must agree with President Taft that
an occasional change Of the party in
power would be highly desirable.
