Church Closing Illegal.

The supreme Court of California, in a
decision, a few days ago, upheld the ac-
tion of'the congregation of a Los Angeles
church, which, during the recent in
fluenza epidemic there, refused to obey the
mandate of the city authorities and close
the edifcc and suspend services The
church. il was shown, had no de-
sire TO disobey the health authorities,
concluding that If the city ordinances
could close churches, under the plea
that he opening of places where crowds
congregated was a menace TO the public
welfare (or health all such places stores,
Libraries, workshops, etc. must also be
shut up, and the court upheld this friendly
contention. declaring the city ordinances
unconstitutional inasmuch as they were
applied to class, and placed auto
cratic authority in the hands of the
officials
The decision is interesting in view of
the nationwide comment aroused through
the closing Of churches during the periods

.Iugo-SIavla formally comedies Trieste

Serbia delegates to the peace congress
In making the concession, DR. Eesnitch
does not admit that Trieste is Justly

majority Of the inhabitants of the city are
Slavic, while it IS known beyond doubt
that the Hintcrland has d strongly Slavic
population Serbia yields Trieste, that
most important port on the eastern coast
Of the Adriat.c, solely to meet the Italian
demand for a comfortable Adriatic port
and to give recognition of Italy great and
valuable service in a common cause OF
human liberty
Dr. Yespitch expresses the hope that in
view Of the Serbian magnanimity in re-
spect to Trieste, Italy will relinq,ish her
claim to the DalmatIan Coast No one,
not even the Italians themselves, claims

BIG NAVY By AGREEMENT.

PRESS COMMENT.
A PROPHET AMONG PROPHETS.

Anne lean newspaper representatives
long accustomed to assessing popular as
well as official values are in substantial
agrcenent that President Wilson's re-
ception IN Manchester revealed express
sions OF sympathetic approval not wit
ness elsewhere The fact is gratifying
of COURSE but it could not have been unex.
pected
For n century past Lancashire has been
the prolific source of most of the LIBERAL
and reform movements which, i'll spite OF
many obstacles, have kept Great Britain
IN the front rank of nations. It's polity Is
forever associated with the radical benevo-
lence of John Bright and Richard Cob
den, and the lesser prophets OF ITS at
truism have not often lowered the stand
ards they set up
The Manchester school, so called, has
always been at war with what we know as
Prussianism Extreme as its opposition IN
some cases to governmental activity mas
BEEN its masters and disciples have adj
hered TO principles of personal and com
mercial liberty admirably supplement
ing the instruction in political freedom
which the world has gained from the
United States.
Put to the test during our Civil war,
when It's industries were shattered by our
blockade of cotton, Lancashire renamed
in its poverty as true To It's ideas as ever
it was in prosperity. For memorable
period in that crisis it was the one sec
ton of England in which an American
propounding the truths of the Declare
tion of independence could gain a re-
spectful hearing.
When President Wilson, denounced in
some places as visionary, appeared be-
for the manufacturers, merchants and
labor unionists Of Manchester and elabor-
ated his conception of world free, a
world devoted to Justice and world a
peace, he voiced aspirations which are
bred in the bone Of Lancashire and he
used words with which his hearers have
been familiar for generations wonder
then, that he felt at home. Or that his
audience hailed him rs one OF themselves,
