Another Voucher DisCIoseS How
District Attorney Drew
Attest for Brother
DESCRIBES WORK VAGUELY
Real and Full Names, Only, Are
Used by Police, Declares
Chief Galloway
DESCRIBES WORK VAGUELY

The fac sifnile of vouchers ap-
pearing on this page is another
evidence of the way in which
business is conducted in the dis
trict attorneys office. 1t is one
of a series of vouchers, the first
of which The Herald published
on yesterday. 1t shows that un-
der a name which concealed his
identity, that is, under a name
which was not his full and true
name, brother of the district at
torney was permitted to draw
money from the county for serv-
ices which are described in so
vague and imperfect a way as to
make it impossible, by anything
contained in the claim, to identi-
fy the services or make any intel
ligent independent investigation
of them.
Whether the services were ever
performed or not, nobody but the
district attorney may know, or
probably ever will know. No one
except a person intimate enough
with the district attorneys family
to know the given names of his
brother could even suspect that
the David Patterson appearing
in the claims as a detective was
DR.. David Patterson Fredericks,
a brother of the district attorney.
The Herald has asked the chief
of police of Los Angeles if, with
all the secret service men at his
disposal, he ever permits pay
ment for services to be made on a
payroll containing a false name.
We are informed by him that the
payrolls of his department are
always made to show the real
name of the party to whom
money is paid.
If the thirty detectives in the
service of the police department
of the city of Los Angeles can be
handled in this way the public
would probably like to know why
it was that the brother of the dis
trict attorney, drawing pay for
detective service, should draw his
pay under a name which does not
fully and correctly identify him.

nardino officers have been notified of

THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
No Authority For Saying it Was an APP
pie That Eve Ate.

"What vast amount of trou
ble the human race might have
avoided If Eve hadn't eaten that
apple, remarked the grouchy IN
divldual when something especl
ally displeased him.
"How do you know 1t was an
apple?" asked the accurate man.
"Why, the Bible says so, does.
MT lt?"
INC. 1t has come to be a pop
ular belief that the fruit which
was eaten by our first parents in
the garden eastward IN Eden
was an apple, but there is no au
thority for this.
"It is called simply the fruit OF
the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. And when the woman
saw that the tree was good for
food and that 1t was pleasant to
the eyes and a tree to be desired
to make one wise she took of the
fruit thereof and did eat and gave
also to her husband with her, and
he did eat. What is there here
about an apple?
"a great many popular quota
tions are attributed to the Bible
wheu in fact they had other sourc
es.
"'God tempers the winds to
the shorn lamb Is not from the
Scriptures, but from "A Sentl
mental Journey to Italy, by
Sterne.
"'In the midst Of life we are iu

Luther.
"From st. Paul's utterance,
The love of money is the root of

was uttered by John Wesley In a
sermon on dress. THE merciful
man is merciful to his beast is a
popular rendering of the proverb.

Keep clear of personalities in
conversation. Talk of things, ob
jects, thoughts. The smallest
minds occupy themselves with
persons. Do not heedlessly re-
port i'll of others. AS far as pos.
sible dwell on the good side of
human beings. There are family
boards where a constant process
OF depreciation, assigning mo-
tlves and cutting up character
goes forward. They are not
pleasant places. One who is
healthy does not wish to dine at
a dissecting table. There Is evil
enough IN man, God knows. But
1t Is not the mission of every
young man and woman to detail
and report it all. Keep the at
mosphere as pure as possible.
