A JUST JUDGE

VIZ HEN the successful candidate
wv for district attorney of the city
and county of San Francisco
during his campaign made certain
declarations as to the favor with
and others against whom criminal
charges were then pending in the
courts of San Francisco it was under
stood and believed by most people Of
good sense that these declarations were
the result Of support which he was
receiving or expected to receive from
these indicted prominent citizens Of
his city.
A day or two ago in the courts of
San Francisco this gentleman, having
assumed the office of district attorney
and undertaken to exercise the author
ity of the office, endeavored to make
good his prediction promises by NOV
ing for the dismissal OF the criminal
case against Mr.. Calhoun. 1t would
appear, however, that in the plan evil
IDENTIFY made by him and his political
sponsors, including Mr.. Calhoun, to
dispose of certain criminal accusa-
tions against the latter and other
prominent citizens, they reclSoned
without the presence and power of an
honest judge who ornaments the San
Francisco bench. We refer to Judge
Lawlor, who refused TO grant the dis
trict attorneys motion to dismiss the
case against Mr.. Calhoun, and insisted
that the case should go to trial. OF
course with a district attorney COM
mitted to Mr.. Calhoun's interests in
charge of the case a conviction is not
to be looked for, and there can prob
ably be only one result OF the trial if
it is entered upon. At the same time,
Judge Lawlor will have the conscious
ness of having done hts duty, and some
day, when the majority of the people
of San Francisco wake up to the fact
that honesty and decency in their gov
ernment are the best policy as we'll as
the best principle, Judge Lawlor will
receive the reward of public appre-
citation which is due him, and the dis
trict attorney will likewise receive the
need of pubic execration which is his
due. Having done right Judge Lawlor
can afford to wait for his Vindication,
and having done wrong the district
attorney will certainly receive his con-
demnation some time and in some way.

EGGS

~ TATE BOARD OF HEALTH is
- preparing to settle the question
~ of the stage of existence at which
an egg may still claim the adjective
fresh" An egg, when young and
charming, speaks for itself. Even on
a most intimate acquaintance there
can be no disclosures to jar the con-
fidence of friendship. But the egg
with a past! All, there's the traitor
that must be stamped.
In early middle life the egg still can
carry the jaunty air of youth and get
away with it. But there is a certain
stage in which the egg passes from
the buoyancy of adolesency to mature
sedateness. Such an egg on being
tapped never can be mistaken for
.aught but what it is-a middle-aged
egg, with it's habits formed. From this
time the eggs life drifts into the Sc
nility which makes it uncompanion-
able. State board of health will sup
ply the test which will discriminate
between fresh and storage eggs, and
thereafter every egg will be marked
officially for Identification.

EAST HOLLYWOOD

~ REATER LOS ANGELES will be
IN enriched and strengthened by the
" addition of East Hollywood to the
territory within the municipal area 1t
will bring into the municipal area Grif-
fifth park. the greatest breathing space
and recreation ground in any city OF
the world. Greater Los Angeles will
provide water board better able than
county authorities to protect the bed
of the Los Angeles river, and a city
government which will care for the
park. The people of East Hollywood
offer to Greater Los Angeles fine
schools in good condition; excellent
streets, and good lighting system.
The county has let the contract and
begun work on the Los Feliz road. The
Improvement on Prospect avenue street
surface will be completed this week.
The newly asphalted Sunset boulevard
from Los Angeles to Hollywood is COM
pleted, and provides one OF the most
magnificent driveways in California,
right through East Hollywood. Con-
tracts have been written for the street
surface on Vermont avenue from Tenn
pie street to the mountains, and work
on that has been begun.
Greater Los Angeles with its new
suburbs will be by far the finest city
in the west. Good Government and
good citizenship will work together
for the advancement Of the best in

SEES NO PLACE FOR HELL FIRE
IN MODERN CHURCH DOCTRINE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7-[Editor

Examiner Used DiShr11dn in
Attacking Good Government

both the Examiner and the regular
machine organ the Times, have con-
stantly reiterated the statement that
the cause of Dishman's removal was
that he would not do Good Govern
ment politics"
We have heretoforth set forth in
these columns our theory of what con-
stitutes doing Good Government pol
itics" by an officeholder, and in the
light of that theory there is consider
able truth in this explanation of Dish
mans removal. The way the Good
Government organization expects its
people to do politics when in office is
by attention to business, by doing their
duty without fear or favor, by striving
for the city's best interests and, in
short, by making good. That, too,
seems to be our opponents idea of our
way of doing politics, for during Mayor
AleXander's short preliminary admin
istration every time he headed Off some
piece of folly by council or saved the
city money or showed in some striking
way efficiency and devotion to duty,
the reactionary press raised great
outcry about the mayor doing poll
tics"
Yes: in that sense ex-Chief Dishman
failed to do politics for Good Govern
ment," and for that reason was re-
lieved The instant he is out, Parker,
the machine leader, telegraphs to Sen
ator Flint asking that a place be made
for Dishman, and a place is straight
way provided ander the new postmas-
ter. Thus does the machine take care
of it's friends. We do not question that
Dishman will make a good assistant
postmaster, but he was not the man
the city needed at the head of the
police department. We note this with
regret, for at the time of his appoint
ment we were hopeful that in spite of
his unfortunate affiliations he would
reorganize the department and bring it
UP to standard. Perhaps he did his
best, but the results were not what we

nH HE local Hearst paper, the Exam
iner of Los Angeles via New
- York, is always on the lookout
for a chance to injure the Good Gov
ernment cause. It lacked the courage
and the character openly to support
the machine candidates in the late
campaign, and strove to create the i'm
preston tht it was perched high up on
the fence where it could look down on
our little provincial affairs with dig
nifty and condescension. But it could
not refrain from casting a rock occa-
sionally where it thought the most
damage could be done, says the Pacific
outlook.
Since the new administration went
into office it has been waiting Its
chance to get in one of its sly digs
sly, dev'lish sly''-as ]. Bagstock
would say. The removal of an unsat-
isfactory chief of police gave the de-
sired opportunity. Largely because of
their personal regard for the chief the
commissioners refrained from giving a
reason for the removal, although the
reason was perfectly well understood
by all who were familiar with police
affairs. In this we believe the com
missioners made a mistake. At the
time of the removal they should nave
frankly and fully explained to the pub
lie lust wherein Mr.. Dishman had
failed to make good. Nevertheless we
understand very well why they hated
to do this.
But the Examiner, performing for
Mr. Dishman the part of a fool friend,
and doing it's best to iniure the admin
istration, published faxed interview
with the ex-chief, in which he was
made to say that he had been aap-
preached by some one representing the
Good Government organization who
assured him that if he would only
agree to "do politics" for that SIDE ms
Mace would remain secure for him.
Mr.. Dishman promptly repudiated the
interview and declared that no such
nrnnosition had been made to him. But

FOES OF SCHOOLS

n EOPLE OF Los Angeles are pay
ing dearly for the iniquitous fight
n against the school bonds by the
foes OF the schools. What tho common
sense Of the friends of education
prompted them to urge, namely, that
the school population was being in
creased SO rapidly any attempt to de-
lay school building would result in
mischief not easily remedied, has un-
happily, been justified. Increase in
school population has not merely over
taxed facilities but has partially para
lyzed some important branches of edu-
cational activity. Nothing more shame
full, more contemplate. more disgrace
full than the blockade of the bonds
ever happened in the history Of Los
Angeles. The evil that men do not only
lives after them, but survives the origi-
nal transaction and is lastingly mis-
chlevous in their lifetime.

A BISHOPS TRIBUTE
To the Irish Party-Has Helped the
Cause Of Education.

The Bishop of Clifton (the Right

ing of foundation stone of new
Catholic school at Bristol, paid a
most cordial tribute to the services
which the Irish Party have rendered
to the cause of Catholic education IL
this country. Referring to the rea-
sons which gave Catholics courage
and hope for the future of their
schools, his Lordship said there had
been another reason for which he
thought they should be thankful rs
Catholics, and it was the way in which
their claims had been met in Parlia-
ment. He did not speak as a Con-
servative or Liberal, or a Radical.
but as a Catholic especially, but he
felt bound to render that public testi-
mony for the way in which their edu-
cation had been impressed upon leg
islators by legislators from Ireland

PALACE OF PEACE
Will Be Lavishly Decorated BY Gifts
From Various Nations.

Emperor Nicholas has presented
huge jasper vase. more than IL feet
high, for the central hall of the palace
of peace at the Hague, which is now
approaching completion. the blue slate
roof being almost finished. Among
other gifts to this palace, which is
to be the headquarters of the per-
manent court of international arhi-
tration, are four magnificent stained
glass windows for the great court, a
gift of the late Edward VII. The
kaiser has donated the monumental
entrance gates to the grounds, mas
terpiece of Teuton ironwork, and King
Frederick Of Denmark has contrib
uted the porcelain for the fountain in
the courtyard. From the crown OF
Belgium came the bronze doors of the
building, and from the emperor Of
tapestries for the meeting room of the
administrative council. Emperor Fran
els Joseph is the donor of the bronze
and crystal candeabra, and the
French government is furnishing a
great painting by Besnard and a num-
Der of Gobelin tapestries designed by
Luc O. Mercon. Little Switzerland
has asked to be permitted to provide
the works Of all the clocks of the
palace, and the Mexican onyx of the
grand staircase is furnished by Presi-
dent Diaz, while the United States is
represented by a large marble group
on the first landing of the staircase,
entitled Peace Through Justice"
The palace has been erected not on
the original site proposed, but on the
other side of the Hague, namely, in
the park of the small palace which be-
longed to the Russian horn Queen
Anna Panlowna of the Netherlands,
consort of William H. and grand
mother of the reigning queen. Queen
Annals old home, which is now being
used for the architects and others
connected with the construction of
the new palace of peace, will be torn
down as soon the latter is completed:
but the grounds, extending over some
1G acres, with their fine old trees,
will be left undsturbed.

SUFFRAGE BILL
Passed Second Reading in House Of
Commons.

The Women's Suffrage Bill passed its
second reading in the House of Com
mons July 18th. The vote resulted In
majority of 100 in favor of the bill.
Among those who spoke in favor of
the bill was Mr.. William Redmond.
Mr. Redmond said that while it was
not a measure that he advised. and
he should not support it but for the
fact that ii was an attempt, which
might prove successful, to break down
! once for all the barrier which prevents
women in England and in Ireland from
taking part in the government of the
country (cheers). He would prefer q
Bill to grant the franchise on the
| same terms as to men. and he was
sure that had measure OF that kind
been proposed it would have aroused
not only more enthusiasm, but would
have commanded a far larger share
of support III the House. 1t was of
a too restricted character. too con-
servative, and did not put women upon
practical equality with men. He
| feared If it became law it would post
pone almost indefinitely the realiza-
ton of the full claims of women to
the franchise.

growth of the Church at the head
waters of the Mississippi River? 1t
is colonization. Hardly was the land
open to white men, before Archbishop
Ireland started half dozen of Cath
Ollie colonies; and he has continued
his work of caring for the incoming
Catholic to this day.
The settlements have multiplied a
hundredfold. The need of six new
bishops is a proof of his success.
Through colonization the Catholics
grouped in centers were taken care of,
and the result is ten bishops and 500
priests in Minnesota and Dakota. The
western and northern dioceses of
Lead, Bismarck, Crookston, and Du-
luth are not thickly settled; but they
have bishops to direct their settle
ment. This is according to the prac-
tice of the Apostles, who appointed
bishops to form the churches. These
new bishops are missionary bishops.
The Right Reverend Bishop Wehrle
writes: AT my installation l will
have congress of Catholic laymen
and Catholic societies; and colonial
ton will be one of the matters to be
discussed" The whole province is
organized for colonization under Bish-
op James McGolrick of Duluth. No
Catholic will be lost there if they are
willing to follow the hierarchy.
The Northerners who take naturally
to the Northwest are diminishing as
an element Of our immigration. Their
places are being taken by the virile
Slavs and the refined Latins of south
ern Europe. The South, which con-
tains more cheap lands than any other
part of the Union today, is the nat
ural home of these newcomers. If
the South follows the example of the
Northwest it can easily add $4,000
new Catholics to it's population each
year. This would call for more bish-
ops, more priests, more Catholic or
CARNATIONS. Beyond doubt, if such
organization paves the way, the popu-
lation will inevitably follow.
Two things should be done at once
Bishops in sor.hern Europe; should be
informed of all places in the South
ern States where new lands are avail
able within reach of churches where
provision has been made for the souls
of the immigrants. Many such places
exist in the South already, but how
are the immigrants, intent on their
own economic betterment, expected to
learn where these places are? Sec
ondly, industrial villages under the
supervision of Catholic priests should
be established in Southern mining and
numbering towns for the spiritual an
material guidance of those immigrants
who have to earn some money before
they can start farming.
In the East, we are conserving our
big battalions by adding Industrial ana
agricultural schools under direct
Catholic management to our ordinary
educational equipment, by social set.
Elements, vacation schools, etc.
We are further getting something
approaching to adequate representa-
ton on the various secular agencies
which equip the youth for industrial
pursuits. 1t is being remembered not
| only that we pay our full share of tn,
school taxes, but that by our specia
contributions to the educational agen-
cies of state and city we are saving
much money to both, and lessenine
! the tax-rates of our fellow citizens.
