United Effort

Some time the latter part of
April a culyert was completed
across Sand Creek near the home
of T. E. Chilcott. The culyert
was large one and was built
entirely by donations, both in
money and in labor. 1t is rather
unfortunate that the heavy rain
of May first caused Sand Creek
to rise and in a few seconds, the
result Of the united effort of the
entire neighborhood was wash
ed away. We believe that those
who assisted in the work of
building the culvert deserve
credit, even though they receiv-
ed little, if any benefit, as re-
ward for their labor, and we
herewith publish the list of the
names of those who contributed
and the amount. The list was
furnished to us by h. w. Grubbs
and work IS based on $l.50 per
day for single hands, $500 for
man and two,horse team; $3.50
for four-horse team; and $500

"Jurettes" Continue Probe

Omitted Press Day Service)
Redwood City, Cal, Feb. 6.-Cali-
fornia's first women grand jurors,
those of San Mateo county, like their
work so we'll that they are going to
keep it up, even if they must do so in
an unofficial capacity. As preliminary
step, plans were completed today for
the organization of a county commit.
tee of women to investigate everything
that looks like it needs investigation.
The leader in the movement is Mrs.
Racine McCroskey, who was member
of the jury. The other jurettes are
also included as are many we'll known
San Mateo county women who had not
the good fortune to serve on the indus
trial body. While the women's future
Investigations will be eXtra-legal, the
leaders say they will be extremely
thorough and that by the time they
are concluded San Mateo county will
thoroughly purified. Judge Buck sug-
gested such an organization when he
discharged the jurettes recently.

Mr.. Sorenson's Attitude.

Editor Press-Dear Sir: In the mat
ter of the organization of the Impe-
rial County Civic League, having for
its purpose the promotion Of good
government through open discussion
of public questions and the endorse
ment of candidates for public office,
| desire to say, to put myself right be-
fore those to whom ! talked when
circulating the call for the mass meet
ing, that the purpose which the COM
mittee appointed at this mass meet
ing has outlined as above noted, in
so far as it proposes "to endorse
candidates for public office" is not
in keeping with the original idea or
impression | am held responsible for
when circulating the call. However
it was the sense of the mass meet
ing that the movement go further
than the mere discussion of public
questions as originally intended and
include in its purposes the endorse
ment of candidates for office, and al
though l did not directly support the
proposition that the league go to this
extent, am willing to stand by the
league, not only because | believe il
majority rule, but because the league
contemplates firm stand for gooc
government, the earnest discussion o.
issues involving civic improvement
throughout the county, and the en-
listment of active service to thes'
ends. MICHAEL SORENSEN.

Eugenics Art Subject

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-While the
subject of eugenics has been vigor-
ously exploited and propounded by
pedagogues and reformers and has en-
listed many hard working controver-
sialists in its discussion, it has, until
the present kept it's artistic side COM
pIetely concealed. But now comes
Childe Hassam, one of the most nota-
BILE of American artists, who announces
eugenics as his theme for the mural
paintings with which he will deck the
court of palms of the Panama Pa
cifc exposition. Hassam has arrived
in San Francisco from New York and
is now at work on the completion of
his panels.
81 am going to show the apothesis
of a new race" said Hassam. "Mount
Shasta, typifying' the vastness and
sublimity of the new set, will pro-
vide background for idealized human
figures in which / shall attempt to
embody a prophecy of the new race.
While the word 'eugenics' carries nc
artistic connection can think of moth
ing better for an artistic theme than
the aspiration and ideality suggested
by the struggle for a glorifed race of

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretary of

of Harvard students, and as Harvard

of their dances, the girls feared the
annual prom this year would be dubbed

OUR SleiLlTY.

While America and Americans art
the peace promoters of the world at
this time, yet it is peculiar that
Americans have produced the great
est death dealing instruments of the
age, and that while nations are dis
emboweling nations, and devastating
property everywhere, 1t is Americas
brain that is in the midst of the fray.
An exchange culls the following in.
teresting statement of the influence
OF the American brain on the Euro
pean war situation;
Those who criticize the terrible
methods of the Crazy War forget that
all the novel, diabolical, deata-dealing
devices were invented in this coun-
try. Submarines, armored ships. aero
planes. revolvers, repeating rifles. re
volying turrets, lapid-fire cannon,
gatling guns, smokeless powder, rifled
field guns, torpedoes, Hotchliss and
Parrot shells. contact and electric
mines-all are originally American
inventions. though some have been
improved and developed in Europe;
some were employed during our Ciyil
War; some were rejected by our gov
eminent as of no practical use--as
for example. the gatling gun, which
fires twelve hundred shots a minute
and the submarines, which were IL
nored for twenty-three years. Abolish
all the arms of American invention
and the gigantic armies OF Europe
would be fighting with spears and
bows and arrows. AS we supply Euro
peans with new weapons. we should
not be so Mortified at the use of them
The present duty Of American in
ventors is to discover something thai
will beat the submarine and the aero
plane detect the mines and silence the
immense siege guns. 1t can be done
and in time to end this war, as Eric
son invented the Monitor and revolu.
tionized the worlds nayies. Long be
fore this very Christian era, Archi-
medes and Proclus burned large fleets
by the reflection OF sun rays from
mighty mirrors; our inventors have
not tried this as yet.

HAS A WORTHY RING.

There is something of a true ring
in the positive announcement from
Harry jones that he will not make
promises of political appointment in
advance Of his election as mayor BE
fore the union labor assembly he
said:
ITO make promises at this
time would be an easy matter,
for there are many looking for
the opportunity to trade political
support before election for poll
ticad succor after election"
IL is not unfair to any to say that
this truth alone is highly commend
able and splendidly expressed. Poll.
teal succor after election is one OF
the things discouraging to municipal
government. 1t is refreshing to un-
derstand and know that a candidate
for office refuses to make any poll
teal promises. and that when he is
elected he viii be absolutely free to
choose from the rags of applicants
