How easy it is to believe that we
wish to believe. When the Times
building blew up in Los Angeles, the
owners promptly pronounced it the
work of the unions, without present
ing even suggestion of real evil
dence. Large rewards were immedi-
ately offered for the arrest and con-
viction of the guilty ones, but no le-
gal proceedings have since come to
our notice. The Typographical Union
is recognized as one of the most in
telligent and conservative bodies that
organized labor can boast. and they
were certainly entitled to the tradi-
tional presumption of innocence. Now
comes this great disaster In New
York, and for all that we can see, the
causes ascribed in this case would fit
that in Los Angeles just as we'll. Not
a bad idea to be fair in such matters
er all.

Plumbers had been at work during the
day, and as the radiators had been
disconnected, the furnace fire had
been allowed to go out. The repairs
were completed late in the afternoon,
and then the furnace was cleaned out
and a fresh fire started. The janitor
left the drafts open bit, as the
building had become pretty we'll chill

get in its work. The tank which sup
plies the hot water for the layatories,
etc, is heated by coil in the fur

water reached the boiling point, and
Mrs Pooler was awakened by the
sound of escaping steam. She became
alarmed lest the building should be
blown up, and started after help. G..

shop on the first floor. soon came to
the rescue, and promptly located the
source of the trouble. Meanwhile the
back pressure had caused the over

OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY.
Death of j. w. Merrill in California.

James w. Merrill, who was born in
this county over 80 years ago. died a
few days ago in Los Angeles, Calf,
where he has made his home for
some time He is we'll known here as
a close friend of Hon. d. H. Bartlett.
The Los Angeles Express in recent
issue said of him:
HE was born in Maine in 1918. The
Wings were the powerful political
party. BY environment and temper
ament he was a Whig, but when the
Republican party was born he was
one of its earliest adherents. He
followed Horace Greeley's advice to
go West, early in life. and lived in
Iowa for many years before moving
on to California
"The purposes of the good govern
ment organizations and of the Lin
Roosevelt league appealed
strongly to him from the first and he
cast his lot with them and gave his
best efforts toward their support.
In one campaign he walked from
his own precinct to an adjoining pre-
cinct to plead for an automobile
with which to take a number of "old

Lodge to Explain His Position

AS viewed from a distance 1t does
not appear that Governor-elect Foss
has swept the Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge into oblivion as result OF his
post election campaign, but 1t has not
been without results. The Republi-
can leaders have invited the Senator
to address mass meeting in Boston,
af1Q he has accepted for January g.
He will try to meet the issues raised
by Mr. Foss, from the platform OF
Symphony hall, and whatever the
outcome, the people will be the gain
ers.
With every passing campaign we
are gaining wisdom and inspiration
from the political customs of our
English cousins. Over there the can
didates have no choice but to answer
such questions as their constituents
see fit to put to them, and so politi-
cal promises have come to mean
something. A few years ago Mr.
Lodge could have ignored Mr.. Foss
and successfully justified his atti-
tude by merely stating that the lat
ter was a Democrat, but the party
cleavage grows less distinct all the
while. If now Mr. Lodge can be
made to pledge himself to work for
the things that the people want, who
can say that Mr.. Foss has not scored
a substantial victory in behalf of the
public?

1t sometimes happens that the most
effective way of answering one ques-

case in point is furnished by George

He was asked: What effect will the
passing Of Mrs. Eddy have upon the

company by a song which was fol

Mrs Sheppard in her usual happy man

given.
Mrs. Oak gave a Christmas reading
which was very apt, and caused much
merriment among her hearers. The
exercises were continued with a sone
by Mrs. Ellen Sawyer with violin

and piano accompaniment by Miss

by her audience. The members felt
that they were highly favored in hav-
