Champion Dairy StOck-A produc
tion of 5S pounds of butterfat in one
month, or nearly two pounds each day,

DER, a registered Jersey COW exhib-

cent fair. A daily butterfat test Ct
5.3 and a production of 1,O97.9 pounds
of milk for the month was the highesV
score in the dairy contest at the fair
and according to the judges Katie is
the grand champion of Imperial val

Consider Sewer System-After a
discussion last night with the city
trustees concerning plans for a pro
posed outfall and sewer system for FL
Centre, F. H. Olmstead, representative
of the fir moi OlmStead & Gillelen OF
Los Angeles, is today inspecting the
present sewer system. On account of
rapid building in the outlying resi-
dence districts the trustees are plan
ming an immediate extension of the
city sewer mains and also the con-
struction of an outfall, probably at
some point on New river.

Silence Versus Words.

OF course no "monstrous thought of attempting
to influence the decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission could have entered Senator La Follettes
mind to inspire his imputaton of like motive to
President Wilson The Senator criticised the Presi-
dent for not denying statements published in the
papers to the escs that he in favor of increased
railroad rates. Tie also denounced the Presidents
course in forwarding the Interstate Commerce Com
mission letters referring to the rate received at
offenses of the President, Senator La Toilette con-
cluded:
There is no installing what has been done The
wayfaring man, though fool knows that there has
been an organized conspiracy to coerce the commits
sion to compliance with the demands of the railroads
that 100000 be taken from the public, handed
over to them and no questions askeds' z.- ~.
The country will find no difficulty in deciding as
the proprety of the Presidents silence of Sena
tor La FolIette's words The Interstate Commerce
Commissioners, too seem to know which to resent.
Plainly enough Senator La Toilette attempts to
impcates the President of the United States in this
organized conspiracy" wholly mythical beyond the
La Toilette orbit Does the Senator really believe that
the President ought to call the newspapers to account
for telling what his opinion is on the rate ques-
ton, and is he hopefully expecant of being able to
bait Mr.. Wilson into including him?
Probably the President will not be seriously
eerned over an attempt to connect him with con-
spracy Matched and organized by an active Senatorial
imagination. -

result of six months consideration by men of rec

commend themselves to those who are seeking light
a question that has long demanded recognition at
least. The committees direct declaration is that
faith or spiritual healing be permanently effective
only in functional disorders, as distinguished from
organic disorders, and Il warns against resorting to
healers and postponng medical treatment
The committee concludes its report with this state
ment:
Spiritual mnistrations may contribute to the sue
cess Of medical treatment and we desire to see more
importance attached to them but we strongly depre-
cate the independent of disease by irrespon-
sible and unqualified persons
There seems to be nothing in the report in con-

senstiveness of the devout believers in the heal
