BEST WITNESS FOR
THE COUNCIL IS
SULLIVAN HIMSELF

Spokane Press, leading to the filing
of the Elliott charges.
Judge Holcom of Ritzville said
that this seemed to be case of
whether Sullivan was the titular or
defacto chief of police. Judge Web
ster said that the point at issue
seemed to be. whether or not the
city council had the right to remove
an acting chief of police.
Probably the best witness for the
city council as to it's right to try
Sullivan was that official himself.
Under the skilled coaching of Attor-
Dey Robertson, Sullivan made some
admissions as to his position which
his lawyers had previously tried to
avoid admitting.

A speedy decision is expected in
the hearing of the effort of Acting
Chief Sullivan to enjoin the city
council from trying the charges
against him. The hearing will con-
sumo most of the session this after
noon. Nearly all members of the
council. Mr.. Pratt, the members of
the board of police commissioners
and other city officials are in at
tendance. The fact that the five
judges of the court have concluded
to try the case indicates the import
ance placed in the matter on hear
ing before them.
Attorney Frank Graves said that
the troubles of Chief Sullivan are
due to the publications made in The

and set your aim upon duty, God and

you no sorrow without it's comfort.
and over and over again it will fill
your cup with blessing.
Purpose is the very soul OF exist

press this fact home. The average
man grasps it's truth instantly.
AS we stand upon the threshold OF
the New Year, however, we do well
to consider a certain phase q its

We naturally like what Is new.
riety. When life presses strongly up
on us with it's burden of responsible
ity and it's pressure of care there is
ever the temptation to throw of the
old and take care of the new.
We respectfully suggest that the
problems of life cannot be solved by
some patent process; old responsible
ties cannot be shaken off by the adop-
ton of fantastic theories of religion
and morals; there are no short cuts
to truth.
With this in mind, what shall be the
truest attitude of the thoughtful man
toward the possible variety OF the
New Year. True, it may be a variety
closely resembling that of a year ago;
the commonplaceness of life's expe-
riences is only too apparent. To win
without effort is a misnomer; to attain
without sacrifice is to eliminate joy;
to look for an easy path is to prove
the worthlessness Of such a life's at
tainments. So, in view of these sug
gestions, what shall be our attitude

Most thoughtful persons
are moved at this season to make res
olutions: in fact, New Years day is
like a grand bazaar day in which vari-
Gus fine and beautiful resolutions are
spread out to view. But alas, how
many OF these are only made to be
broken! We are determined to turn
over a new leaf in the book OF life.
and yet the fair, unspotted leaf Is
solled almos in the very act of turn
Ing 1t. What then? Shall we give
up making resolutions? Not at all.
All enor is fragmentary. Because
purposes miscarry is no reason why
we should not form them. Were
cry New Years resolution to be brok~
en- We would still have lived better
for making them. And some of them
will We kept, while the very endeavor
will have lifted us to a higher plane
and increased our self-respect.
We should, most of all, ask our
selves il we have a true life aim. No
man can hit the mark If he is not
aiming at it.
Resolve to break off bad habits.
We all have our defects of disposition
n character. These We cannot help.
But it is u voluntary self-indulgence
that makes them our masters. Now
is the hour to fight them, to resist
them unto blood, to break them off at
nee and for all.
Look on the bright side. The world
Is full OF beauty and life sparkles with
Joy to the unblurred vision. 1t is our
gloomy spirits hat distort our view.
The worst evils are imagined ones
that never come to pass. Let US look
look for love and goodness and
beauty and happiness, and we shall
tread q fragrant, empowered way.
Let us do better In the home. 1t is
here, where we are often most
thoughtless, that we need to do our
very best. More depends on the at
mosphere of home than upon all else.
Resolve that those who love you most
and sacrifice the most for you shall
see only your most pleasing side
shall have only respect, gentleness,
love. All, how much of the recupera-
tive power needed for the strain OF
life's wearing duties depends upon
the tempers, and habits of
home!
