THE LAsT-DEBT.

You must pay at last your own
debt. If you are wise you will
dread prosperity which only loads
you with more. Benefit is the end
Of nature. But for every benefit
which you receive tax is levied.
He is great who confers the most
benefits. He is base-and that is
the one base thing in The universe
to receive favors and render
none.-Emerson.

CHARITY.
The place Of charity: like that Of

God, is everywhere. -Vinet.
Goodness answers to the theo-
logical virtue Of charity and admits
no excess but erot. The desire Of
power in excess caused the angels
to fall; the desire Of knowledge in
excess caused man to fall. but in
charity there is no excess. Neither
can angel or man come into danger
by bacon.

Los ANGELES MUST
VOTE AGAIN FOR MAYOR
Neither Republican Nor Socialist
Candidate Get Enough Votes
Women To Decide.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. THAT
no candidate received a majority OF
all votes cast, and that Joe Hartman,
SOCIALIST, and George Alexander, Re-
publican, will be the two candidates
for mayer at the general election on
December seemed certain today
from incomplete returns from yester-
days municipal primary.
With eighteen precincts missing out
OF a total of 243 In the city, the re-
turns give Hartman for mayor, 9,70S
and Alexander 9.206. Mushet and
Gregory, the other mayoralty candi-
dates, are running hopelessly behind.
The Socialist candidates for the
city council are running slightly be-
hind Hartmann
The majority candidates are run
ming so close that IL is not believed
possible that either can get majority
of all votes cast. Under the law, IL no
candidate gets a majority, the two
leaders must go before the people at
the general election Dec. 5.
That the fate OF the candidates at
that election will be determined by
the votes OF the women Of the city Is
certain.

Elizabeth Love, 15 years old, To

straightway surmised she was in

lice, made a search of the Canadian
city. Matteson was first found. He
denied any knowledge of Elizabeth.
The officers thought he was withhold

up. Finally he told where Elizabeth
might be found. She was located ~

JUDGE DONOVAN REFUSES
TO ENJO|N ANGuM SALOON
Says Conducting Place Near
Church Is Crime, Which Re-
corder's Court Should Punish.

In a decision handed down Wednes-
day morning, Judge Donovan declines
to grant an injunction restraining Ed
ward Anglim from conducting a sa-
loon at Randolph and Champlain-sts..
which is within 400 feet of the Gen.
tral Presbyterian church, but he
states that the establishment of a
saloon at this place is clearly vio-
lation of the Warner-Cramton law,
and the action of the common com
Gil and the county treasurer in grant
ing a license was illegal and void.
Judge Donovan holds that Anglim's
act in conducting a saloon at this
location is crime, and therefore, it
Is within the jurisdiction OF the re-
corders' court to act in such a case.
In the decision. Judge Donovan
quotes the Gowan case. in which the
supreme court held that violations OF
the liquor law should be dealt with
by the city courts and not by the cir
cult court. In the Gowan case il was
sought by injunction to suppress a
disorderly saloon.
Prosecuting Attorney Shepherd,
when shown the decision, said that
he would not stop his efforts 10 have
Anglim put out of business, and
would at once take the matter to the
proper court.

TABLES ARE TURNED
ON JOKER c. l.. WEEKS

Do you want to buy stock in a
cat ranch?
If interested, apply to c. l.. Weeks,
the well-known lumberman, with
Offices at No. SS Griswold-st., and.
to be on the safe side, you had better
make your application in writing, for
Mr.. Weeks may not be in the best
of humor when you call.
The "cat ranch" originated In the
minds of certain facetious members
of Landslide club, lumbermen's or
ganization OF purely social objects.
Mr.. Weeks Is something OF a joker
himself, and has had many laugh
at the expense OF fellow members.
Now they are paying him back with
interest.
A circular letter bearing the card Of
the landslide club has been circu-
lated widely through the mails. 1t
purports TO come from N. Weeks
and gives glowing description Of
the money-making possibilities OF the
cat ranch, The plans, according to
the circular, contemplate the starting
of q rat ranch next door. In this
connection the circular says:
1T will thus be seen that the busi-
ness will be self-acting and automatic
all the way through. The cats Will
eat the rats and the rats will eat the
cats, and we will get the skins"
1t is figured out that the revenue
from the ranch will be about $9,SO0
per day.

TALKS TO BUSINESS MEN

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Nov. L.
There was indignation today over
what the Taft supporters declared was
a deliberate Batting of the presi-
dent by the Pittsburgh Chamber Of
Commerce last night.
Before an audience that included
scores Of Pittsburgh millionaires, and
at least $50 minor officials of the
steel trust subsidiaries the president
was forced TO hear Rep. Martin w.
Littleton (Dem.. N. W, denounce the
Sherman antitrust law, and demand
its appeal. The Pittsburghers cheer
ed Littleton to the echo as he riddled
the statute, declaring that it was in
capable of enforcement.
Ii had been long evening of tire
some speeches up to that time. and
when Littleton concluded with a
burst of oratory amid storm OF
cheers, the president had but 10 min
utes TO the time his train was sched-
ufed to leave Pittsburgh and for the
first time since he became president,
Taft got mad, right out in public.
Realizing that he was being butch
cred to make a Pittsburgh holiday he
went TlBHl dIltT lIllllelOu , dI6uIltlll.
Scarcely a sound of applause greeted
him as he arose. Pittsburgh business
men feeling that he had been sub
dued.
But with more vigor than he had
ever put into public utterance, the
president defended the laws with his
face flushed and his huge body swing
ing from side TO side as he swung
his fists at the Pittsburghers and told
them they must obey the law.
Littleton had said that ten law was
indefinite and the president, shaking
his big fist at the long rows of busi-
nessmen shouted:
THAT law has been on the statute
book twenty years. II has been con-
strued and construed and construed
by the supreme court. | have hal

night, but his effort was thwarted by
the vigilance OF Doorman Richert.
The bibulous one is rather an at.

squeeze himself through the bars that
separate the new cell block from the
old, so IL was sort of getting out
OF the frying pan into the fire propo-

He then concealed himself near the

Yuan becomes virtual ruler OF the
country.
Yuan Shi Kai followed up the an
nouncement of his appointment as
Premier of China today with brief
statement OF the policy he intends to
pursue.
His first act, he says, will be to
cease hostilities against the rebels
Immediately. Then he will open me-
gotiations with Gen. Ii Yuan Hung,
tne revolntionist commander, who re-
gently proclaimed himself president
of China, with view to re-estab-
fishing permanent peace.
Practically Yuans plan contem-
plates union between the govern
ment and the rebels. Whether the
rebels will accept his overtures, how
ever, is an open question. They have
shown no signs yet of abtndoning
the revolution on the strength OF the
enperor's promises.
News today that imperialists sol
diers are plundering the country and
killing the peasants north of Hankow,
is taken here TO mean that the fight
ing in Hankow Is over. that the reb-
els were victorious and that the i'm
perialists are retreating. There is no
news direct from Hankow, all wires
still being down and the railroad out
of Communication.
Now that the whole OF the northern
Chinese troops have joined the army
league and refused service unless the
leagues demands are complied with
the throne is completely without pro-
lection except for the Manchu sol.

that they could not long resist con-
certed attack.
