TRUSTEES SUSPEND
BAPTIST COLLEGE
Announcement Is Made at Grad
uation Exercises by Presi-
dent of Board

OAKLAND, May 26.4California COL
lege, the Baptist institution at Four
teenth avenue and East Twenty-sev-
enth street, will be suspended for at
least year after the close of this
semester. This announcement was
made today by John H. Stevens of Oak
land, the president of the board of
trustees at the commencement exer-
cises of the class of 1910.
Thirty-Six students who have COM
pleted their courses took part today in
the exercises, which ended, for a time,
the activity of their alma mater as an
educational institution.
Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher, pastor
at the Temple auditorium of Los An
geles, and an alumnus of the college,
delivered the commencement day ad-
dress, and it devolved upon him to say
for President stevens of the trustees
the words, which told of the passing
of the college.
President Stevens explained that the
reason for the suspension is twofold.
Financial support of the college has
been deficient and to maintain the
classes another year without unex-
pected relief would put the college in
debt. Also, the trustees are consider
ing new sites for the college in other
parts of the state, where it is thought
the work may be resumed on larger
scale and with greater financial re-
sources
At the last commencement today the
introduction was delivered by Rev. NJ
Vaughn. Miss Patty Stringham played
a violin solo and Doctor Brougher
spoke on The Chief Idea in Educa-
ton Diplomas were presented by
Dean r. j. Mantz and Rev. c. M. Max

HOME BUILDING PROGRESSES

During the last year home building
has progressed at very rapid pace,
until today the city possesses some of
the most attractive residences in Cali
fornia- They are invariably surrounded
by we'll kept gardens and trees that
grow so luxuriantiy in this climate.
1t is not alone in the material that
Stockton may lay claim to superiority.
The city's school system has been re-
ferred to many times as a model for
other American cities to heed. To it's
already well rounded course, the high
school is to add instruction in practical
agriculture.
The two most immediate aspirations
of large element in the community
are charter and a convention hall.
The charter is desired that Stockton
may try the commission plan of gov
ernment and the convention hall as a
standing invitation to- all assemblages
that desire to gather amid the most
pleasant surroundings.

False Impression
Ought to Be Corrected.

The Tampa Tribune ought to correct
the erroneous impression it has made
in reference to the authority of the
state executive committee under the
state primary law. One Of the papers
that has been deceived by the Tri-
bune's discussion Of the case is the
Brooksville Argus from which we clip
the following:
According to state law the executive
committee had the right to leave of
the Offices of circuit judges and prose
cutting attorneys from the list of those
to be voted for In the primary. They
also had the authority to substitute q
nominating convention for NOMINATING
primaries il they had so desired. In
fact under the existing law the state
executive committee has the authority
to fix the methods of nominating can
didates and what offices shall be in.
Guided in the call for nominations.
All OF the statements in the above
were no doubt made on the strength
of the Tribune's assertion to similar
effect, yet every statement is mislead,
ing and thoroughly Injurious to a fair
and comprehensive understanding of
the situation.
The state primary law has absolute
ly nothing to do with the committee
authority to call a primary or not call
one. to call a convention or not call
one. to nominate ticket or not nomi-
nate one. The PARTY LAW governs
the committee in all OF these things.
All the state primary law does or can
do rs to provide a method of procedure
which the committee shall follow In
the event that II or the party decides
to hold a primary.
The party law, however, does apply
30 and govern the committee, and that
party law lnstruets the committee to
provide primary for the nomination
Of all candidates.
That ought to be plain and, It ap-
pears, ia plain to the vast majority OF
the papers of the state and, we be.
lieve, TO the voters as well.
The statement that the COMMITTEES
has the power TO do as It pleases in
the matter Is correct, but as defense
of the committees action it is not
creditable. So has the governor the
power, IL he desires to use it, to disre.
gard the will Of the people and to re.
fuse to appoint the men who they
have nominated for Office But no one
imagines that the governor would SO
far abuse HIS power as to use it in
that way. The legislature has the
power to break its pledge to the PEG.
pie and To elect senator regardless
of whether he was nominated in the
primary or not, but we have never
heard it intimated that the Legislature
was corrupt enough to do this. although
there is no state law by which its
members could be punished if they did
do il.
The Journal is charitable enough to
believe that the members or the state
committee were in ignorance as to the
binding force of their party law

An UnWise ThinC.

The action of the State Democratic
Executive Committee in Jacksonville
Tuesday, excluding the judges of the
circuit court and state solicitors from
the primary elections and making
them appointive by the governor upon
petitions or recommendations. was, in
our opinion, a very unwise thing for
the committee to do. leaving, as they
did, all other appointive offices in the
primary. II the Democratic voters of
this state cannot be trusted or given
an opportunity to express their pref
erence for circuit Judge and state so
licltor, why trust them to express by
ballot their choice for any of the many
other appointive and elective offices?
The primary system is by no means
perfect. we agree, and with the party
law disregarded and the state primary
law a dead letter the time appears to
be about ripe for a return TO the old
time tried and fire tested" convention
plan Of nominating candidates for
state offices.-Suwannee Democrat.

Insult to Peoples Intelligence.


Had the committee stopped at these
actions all would have been we'll, and
they would have plainly been within
their legal duties, and in conformity
with the principles underlying the
direct primary. They did not, how
ever, do so, but abrogated the initia-
tive that the primary is created to OBJ
tain by excepting in the call for the
same the offices of circuit judges and
states attorney. The object of the
system is to ascertain the wishes of
the electorate as to whom it desires
placed in nomination for all public Of
fees. If this committee could elimi-
nate a portion of the offices and deny
to voters an opportunity to be heard
thereon they could strike out all. In
fact there would then be an attempt
at government by half a dozen conn.,
mitteemen instead of by the people.
The excuse given is more indefensible
than the action. 1t is that the masses
are not competent to make selections
for the Offices of circuit judges and at
torneys. This is an insult to the in
telligence of the people of the state OF
Florida. 1t is an attempt to build up
a class judiciary, to destroy the rule
of the majority, repugnant to all Demo-
cratic doctrine and opposed to the
very principle upon which the primary
is created.-Panama City Pilot.
