If a public official violates the law

taxpayer may bring suit against him
and try 10 get an order from the court
TO compel compliance with the law.
1t seems like a generous provision for
the protection of taxpayers, but as a
matter of fact it gives practically no
protection at all
In the first place how is amy tax
PAYER 10 know that the law is be-
ing violated How is he to know that
expenditures are being made waste
fully and illegally?
Suppose that some taxpayer does
know that the law is being violated,
and even that he is injured by the vio-
lati0n. Ii he brings. suit he has at
once pitted against him the whole po-
jitical machine and the county funds
quite formidable antagonists. He
must pay an attorney, and may have
to pay the costs. If he wants to take
advantage of every prospect of sue
cess ne must go to the supreme court.
Now suppose that he wins his suit.
He is out much time. money for travel
ing expenses, and attorneys fees; and
his share of the county's expense in
the suit may offset the amount by
which he was injured by the illegal
act.
If the taxpayers are injured by il
legal acts and don't know it, they don't

they are injured, it may be possible
to soothe them by flattery and some
easy political favor (that we all must

officials. He may know, as well as
they do, that his business will be boy

and that in any case it will cost him
more to win his suit than he can save
by it, if he begins an action.
We know, from first hand informa-

There is needed some means by
which law breaking public officers can
be prosecuted without fixing upon one

THE FEAST OF WEEKS.

The Jewish Pentecost or Feast of Weeks (Shebuoth) will be celebrated on the 7th of June. Its name is de- rived from the fact that it is celebrat- ed seven weeks after the second day of Passover. All the biblical injunc- tions as to the manner in which the F>eGast was to be observed indicate that it was originally agricultural in character. It was in reality a season of thanksgiving for the harvests that had been reaped, beginning with the barley harvest during the Passover to the wheat harvest at the beginning of the summer The ceremonial. offerings prescribed were in keeping with the God-given gifts of the soil that had been gathered.
 In post-biblicaI times this Feast was observed as the anniversary of the birth of Judaism with the promulga- ton of the divine Law at Sinai. On this Day of the Giving of the Law, as it was called by the rabbis, the Ten Commandments constitute part of the Scripture readings in the Synagog- It is this historical aspect of the Feast that has been emphasized in the non agricultural life, which the Jews were compelled to live for centuries.
 When the Reform Synagog introduc- ed the rite of Confirmation for the Jewish youth, the Pentecost, by vir- tue of it's traditional association with the ancient revelation, was the day most naturally selected, for charging the young boys and girls through an impressive public ceremony, with the meaning of the Jewish faith and with the duty of leading a high and reltg- ious and moral life,
 The agricultural side of the Feast however. was not lost sight of, in that it was customary to decorate home and synagog with plants and flowers in season In addition to a. portion from the Pentateuch, the charming story of Ruth was prescribed in the Synagog because the idy1lic scene of harvesting which it contains was in keeping with the celebration of the Harvest Feast. Those observing customs that originated in post-btbh- cal times add a second day to that enjoyed in the Bible.

Yuan-Shi Kai Asked
 To Retire at Once

Peking, June 3.-Dr. wu Ting-Fsng, former Chinese Minister to the Unit ed States, has addressed a letter to Yuan Shi-kai urging him to retire at once" from the Presidency rather than wait until "more provinces have risen against the government and f'the cla- nor of the whole nation has become louder and more irresistible'' for him to abdicate.
 ''The prospect of restoring peace by means of military strength Dr. Wu Ting-fang wrote, 'fis a very doubtful one. The prolongation of the strug- gle may give rise to international com plications which may again result in the 1ong-feared disruption of the coun- try.
 "The leaders such as Tsai 40, Chih- chao and Tang Chi-Yao of the anti monarchical risings in the provinces are sincerely desirous of political re- forms and, being all men of uniTn- peachable reputation, are not bent upon self-respect as common rebels and robbers are
 ''To resort to military force, sup plies of munitions, money and men must be obtained.

 Even assuming that a military cam paign may lead to results gratifying to the government, the people will then only fear but never love their rulers. The loss of the peoples alice tion would soon be followed by an az gressive and inso1ent attitude on the part of foreign countries
