The Power of Light

The crime of burglary has prac- tically ceased in Chicago. while other crimes have greatly multi piled. A Chicago policeman says burglaries have nearly ceased be- cause they are so dangerous. They have become dangerous, because a person in an ordinary well-to do house can, by touching button, light every room in the house ip an instant. The burglar does not want light around him. at least none save what he himself makes. There may be only delicate girl in the house, but if she in the night hears noise, and has presence of mind enough to touch the button the burglar loses his peace of mind at once. He imagines that besides the light the telephone has been called into acquisition and that the next thing will be the patrol wagon with the sleuths; then the police court, with it's accursed fifteen minutes; then the regular court, then the penitentiary. He does not want to consider the matter any further; he feels that almost any place would be preferable to the one he is in.
 It is so with all the sinister agents which men employ to com- pass their ends, there is nothing they fear so much as the light When God in the beginning said "Let there be lightl" he named the one thing which all the races o criminals that were to be would fear most, and when all the secre places in the world and in tho hearts of men are lighted, ther, will be no more crime.

THE constitutional convention will meet on the 10th of October in the capitol building As the ses- sion is limited to 60 days it must adjourn on December II The election for the adoption or rejec- tion of the constitution framed by the convention must be held within thirty days after the convention adjourns and it is not proba ble that said election will be held less than thirty days after adjournment. Therefore, if the convention should hold the full sixty days, the elec- ton would be held about the middle of January, 1911, and the constitution, if adopted, would be submitted to congress at the begln- ming of February during the rush of the closing days of the congress. as the latter will adjourn March 4th. It would be easy to delay action on the constitution during that brief period and leave it to the next congress, which does not
 meet till December, 1911. and if that congress should act promptly VIC will not become state before January 1912. In view of this situation the constitutional conven tion should make an effort to com plete it's work in 30 days so as to insure action at the coming short session of congress.

BE LOYAL TO
 YOUR OWN TOWN

The man who buys his goods out side of his own town is but little better than foreigner, who, like a Chinaman, sends every cent he makes out of the country. That is straight statement, but it is true nevertheless. The people of a small town practically belong to an industrial unit and to a large extent live off each other. One helps the other. And especially is this true in small communities If the merchant and grocer is doing good business their wives and families can and do show the evi dences of prosperity. They may decide to build new stores and new houses, out of which the artisans find work and in turn make money to invest. One hand washes the other, the dollar is kept moving and is kept at home. The man who has an idea that his individ. uality is entity by itself, separate and apart from the social and business life of the community should put his thinking apparatus to work long enough to figure out the services of his fellowmen who supply his daily wants. Without them, without the conveniences that are made possible through their industry, how much of life would be worth living? Wealth is accumulated under the protection of our laws, children are educated free at the expense of the taxpayer, and the least return that the town should expect is loyalty to it and to those who make such things pos sible. People who ought to know better send money out of town for things that can be purchased here. The merchant sends away for his stationery and his customers send away for necessities that can be bought on an even price at home. This is piratical. It is the taking from the community all it can stand and giving nothing in re- turn, robbing it's own henroost, and killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Don't do it. Be loyal to your home town, loyal to the place in which you live and loyal to the people with whom you live and do business. This applies to the merchant with as much force or more than it does to the laborer. The dollar that is sent away never returns, but is gone forever.-Tuc- a0p Post

ARCHBISHOP FILES
REPLY TO SUIT
In Corporate Capacity He Denies
All Allegations of the
0'FarrelI Heirs

The answer of the Roman Catholic
archbishop of San Francisco in his cor
porate capacity to the cross complaint
of Cathal O'Farrell and other heirs of
the late Teresa Wensinger, in the suit
Instituted by the archbishop to quiet
title to realty at Ninth and Mission
streets, was filed yesterday with the
county clerk. It was stated by the
O'Farrell heirs in their cross complaint
that Teresa Wensinger decided the
property to the corporation while she
was under the undue influence of Arch
bishop Riordan
In his answer the archbishop states
that never at any time did he direct,
advise or counsel Teresa Wensinger
in regard to the disposition of any
of her property Replying to the as
sertion that he told Teresa Wensinger
il would be an objectionable sin If
she failed to follow his advice regard
ing her property, the archbishop de-
nies that he ever made any such state
ment or gave any advice or directions
similar in import, nature or effect He
denies further that he told Mrs. Wen
singer it was her imperative duty or
her Christian duty to dispose of her
property as advised by him; or that
he advised her not to give her prop
erty to her next of kin, as 1T would be
a waste of goodness to do so.
The archbishop says Mrs. Wensinger
was a devout member of the Roman
Catholic church, but, having no infor-
nation on the point. denies that she
was a "credulous believer in and fol-
lower of its teachings" It is denied
also that the archbishop counseled her
in relation to her spiritual or temporal
affairs.
Regarding the large" diamonds
worth $4,000 Mrs. Wensinger was al
legged to have given the archbishop,
the answer states that 10 small dia|
monds. worth 50 900, were given him
to be set in the benediction service
at St Patrick's seminary, Menlo Park,
and that they were so used,
