DECISION
ON COAST GAME
EXPECTED SOON

Final decision in the matter of a
coast trip for the 1919 Coyote football
squad will probably be determined
within the next two or three days, be-
lieve local fans, who are confidently
hoping that arrangements for an in
terstate contest can be arranged.
Defeat of the Long Beach high
school team at the hands of Fullerton
high yesterday Saturday would as
sure a game for Saturday, December
Is, according to information from the
coast school. If Long Beach was vic
torious in that contest however, the
hopes of the local team would rest on
the football committee of the Tourna
ment of Roses, the big Pasadena fes-
tival committee.
Local promoters have requested a
game with the winner of the Califor-
mia state title, to be played as one
OF the features of the Tournament of
Roses program on New Years day.
The Phoenix team, Arizona state cham
pions, would be willing to risk its title
in such a game to determine the in
terscholastic championship of the
southwest.
There is possibility, of course, that
such game will be finally arranged.
The Pasadena football committee has
been made a flattering offer by the
local promoters, 1t Is stated, and indi
cations are that it is in favor of such
a game, providing suitable arrange
ments can be made with the winner of
the California state title.
The California champions, however
are expected to oppose such game
inasmuch as they would view such a
game from the standpoint of every
thing to lose and nothing to gain"
Phoenix has never been given much
consideration from coast schools in the
matter of athletics-not because good
teams. have not been developed here
but because they are not given to ac-
cording recognition outside their owr
realm. This is unfortunate for Phoe-
nix and is unquestionably unfair, mas
much as the local school has demon
strated its willingness to exchange
athletic courtesies.

A JUDGE IN A FOG

JUDGE PATTERSON did not say that
- he was holding his seat on the bench
because it was comfortable, especially
in face of an uncertainty. That kind of
talk would at least have been understand
able. The five reasons which he does give
are not
His "firsty" expresses deep concern
for pending cases before him "that have
not been decided Such sensitiveness is
somewhat belated. 1t failed to disturb
him sufficiently to deter him from play
ing a role which, if the public should sup
port him, would eventually lead to his
retirement from the judgeship to which
he now so affectionately cings.
His Secondly" evinces ignorance Of "a
judge resigning without finishing the
public business before him" He appar-
emily never heard, of course, of Charles
Evans Hughes and Alton B. Parker, two
of the many who drew the sharp line
between the impartiality of the judiciary
and the special pleading of politics. His
reference to other sitting judges who are
running to succeed themselves is beside
the point and puerile.
His. "thirdly" emphasizes regard for
the people OF Phlladelphla who elected
him judge. But what then will be their
feelings if he throws down that office in
November?
His "fourthly" points to the desires of
members of the bar that he should hang
on until election day. Naturally the
amiable judge has friends. But what is
the bearing of that fact on the actual
merits of the question involved?
His "fifthly' cites "the right of the
hGmblest citizen to run for office"
Sure. He is entitled, if he likes, to be a
candidate for Mayor But he defes all
good precedent and practice here by re-
tanning judges commission during his
campaign. This is indeed, as he says
''the land of opportunity" Nothing
would make that clearer than an oppor,
t,1ne resignation.

GOOD USE FOR JAlLS

CONFERENCES like that held here
~ yesterday by Attorney General
Palmer and others interested directly in
the reduction of living costs show clearly
that federal departments are now rela-
lively helpless and that, like the public at
large, they must turn to Congress for
assistance in the emergency.
The food administration cannot be or
ganized with volunteers. War psychology
gave Mr.. Hoover's organization its
potency. The war is supposed to be
over. Existing laws are inadequate to
meet the needs of the hour. 1t is the i'm
perative duty of Congress to concentrate
its attention on this one towering ques-
ton.
When laws are made to curb the food
gamblers they ought to provide not fines
alone, but Jail sentences. Fines are
easily paid if you happen to be making
millions in illicit profits. But there are
a good many plungers in the food mar
kets who might go slower if they were
confronted with the prospect of ten years
at Atlanta.

Georges humble career rarely brought him
into contact with boOkish treasures, and
tremulous excitement swan through his brain
as he thought of the glOries he was about

carried him a station beyond his alighting
place, and he ran frantically back through
the well groomed suburban countryside in
order to reach Mr.. Girth's home on time.
They went through the library together
Mr. Girth displayed all his fascinating prizes
with generous good nature, and George grew
