This theory, of course, assumes that the dyna-
mite procured by one set of men and the explo-
sion laid by another set. This is not a violent
suppostion if we to credit the conspirators with
some intelligence. The plan would be to leave a
broad trail in this neighborhood to distract the
attention of the detective force from the actual
perpetrators of the crime in Los Angeles. This is
what happened While the detectives were loun-
dering around in this neghborhood, looking for men
who were out of reach, the other set would have
time to cover their tracks, in Los Angeles. While
they were hunting for a cross eyed man around San
Francisco bay the trail in Los Angeles was growing

as securing the country" and this is what they
were doing, according to the newspapers of last

It will be urged that the detectives were bound

have asked themselves why the men left a blazed

LEAVING A BROAD TRAIL

should have shown that unless the criminals were
men of the lowest order OF intelligence they would
not have used as their agent cross eyed man with
an obvious scar on his face and supplied him with
big wad of money unless this part OF some
well laid scheme To my mind, they were simply

TIME FOR GETAWAY

If Hwe,consider the dates the reason does not seem
difficult to discover. The purchase and transfer Of
the dynamite were made September p. The
explosion occurred the morning of October /.
The men who bought the dynamite then had nearly
week to make themselves safe by getting out Of
the way. They may have sailed on the schooner
Kate or they might have taken the Owl train and
gone to Mexico, Honduras the Lord knows
where. There was plenty OF time to get out of
reach and nothing to prevent.

BROTHERS AT ISSUE

My strenuous friend Jim Barry of the Star has
had to travel long way from home to find a
candidate for the supreme court bench that suits
him. The man is Judge Bledsoe of San Bernar
dino Another newspaperman, Sam Clover O
the Los Angeles Graphic, is quite as strongly SET
against Judge Bedsoe, and if he has got his facts
on straight he makes a strong case against the
San Berdooner. This is what Mr.. Clover writes:
Judge Bedsoe entertains the belief that a mem
Der of the judiciary, matter how much of
gnoramus he may be in regard to the law or
bench, is immune from criticism by the public
press. He may be candidate for prefernent, he
may aspire to 1onors for which his limited edu-
cation renders him totally unfit but because he
represents the majesty of the law his person is
sacred, and the newspaper that dares tell the
truth concerning him does so at its financial risk,
and the editor at the peril OF both purse and
person.
This is not a supposititious case Because
newspaper of this city sharply criticised the rulings
and decisions of local urist who aspired to
appellate honors, Judge Bledsoe, called in to
decide the outrage the judiciary, in volum-
nous opinion held that the editor was in contempt !
of court and imposed fine of 500, further
ing the opinion that his brother jurst like himself
acandidate for preferment, had good case against
the newspaper and its editor for punitive damages
in civil suit This despite the uncontroverted
testimony that the criticism was wholly impersonal
in its nature; it also notorious that the several
decisions cited by the newspaper critic were flag
rantly vioative of justice, proving concusively the
folly of placing their utterer the higher bench
to which he aspired That the motive of the editor
was lofty, being wholly and entirely in behalf of
the public welfare, apparently was not taken into
consideration by the San Bernardino judge, who
aspires to the supreme bench
If this recital is true we may disregard the fact
that Mr. Clover was himself the sufferer. If am
not mistaken, Mr. Barry has more than once put
himself on record concerning the conduct OF courts
in similar cases.

One OF the conspirators engaged in the purchase
of the dynamite is supposed to be a man formerly
employed to drill holes in the walls Of the new
custom house in this city that the plumbing
might be installed. What an interesting sidehght
this episode throws the way IN which govern
ment buildings planned and built. Here IS
new building where it was found necessary to drill
holes in the walls at great expense to install the
plumbing. Was plumbing peradventure an unknown
art at the time the walls were designed? We need
not then, be surprised because the S20OOOOO post
office in this city came SO near falling down the
first time it was shaken and is still showing signs
OF dsintegration. An arch is reported to have
dropped out the other day and shortly after the
building was opened | went through the handsome
marble corridors and found many OF the panels loose
in their sockets.

that it was none of the pubic's business. The

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what 1t was to sleep well from the time be took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing.
 Finally I got a set Of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cutieura may save some one else's sttle ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchlson St., Atchison, Kan, Oct 19, 1909"

 The temple is in charge of two Hndus both swami or high priests of their faith, the chief of these being a Hindu named Prakashananda, who directs affairs. The building, which is three-story structure. is copied after the great temples of India The first two stories after the style of the ordinary American dwelling but the third takes on the Oriental style. There is balcony with Moorsh columns and 1t is on this balcony that the Brahmancharins, or neophytes, as the ten white men who aspire to priesthood are known take their daily exercise.
