1t is said FLOWING the earthquake

per had very suggestive picture on

picture represented the smolderine
ruins of the wasted city. The great
business buildings and the beautiful
homes, along with the wealth they
represented, were marked by un'
slightly piles of bricks and stones
Some buildings were standing, but
with cracked walls and tottering
towers. The highways were blocked
with debris. Water mains, gas
mains, sewers, lighting plants and
trolley lines were wrecked .and use
less. Poverty-stricken, terrified anC
hungry crowds of people were shell

sent by sympathetic citizens of other
places.

more than we perhaps have done. 1t
is then that the words of the past
ring In our ears, "of all sad words of
tongue or pen the saddest are these,
it might have been"
We all agree, my friends. that
Judge Harter was the highest possi-
Bile type of man. A man fully con-
scious Of his responsibilities, his du-
ties to God and to man. He realized
most OF all that he was given an i'm
mortal soul and his supreme interest
in life was to save that immortal
soul. Accordingly, his life to the end
was beyond reproach; loyal to his
family his friends and his God
No one who has the least spark Of
manhood or womanhood could help
but be influenced by the life and con-
duct of Judge Harter, Z
The world, my friends, is a bad
school for the study Of death. The
world, with its allurements, its lows.
its pleasures. seeks our constant at
tention-we would rather think of
life than of death. 1t is only on an
occasion like this, when death snatch
es one of us, when it steals quietly
INTO our very midst, that we realize
that there is such a thing as death
after all. That life, therefore. is a
preparation for death, time of pro-
baton, a time of stewardship, and
there will come day when we must
give an account to the Almighty
Judge.
If we, my friends, with Tennyson.
could hear the voice that is silent be-,
fore this morning, that voice speaks
and it tells us that only one thing is
necessary, the salvation of our i'm
mortal soul; if we could feel the
touch of the vanished hand; it would
urge us, it would lead us on the path
of virtue and right living. Let, then,
the life of Judge Harter be an inspir-
alton to us, let US live as he has
lived, in order that we may die as he
has died. He has fought the good
fight, he mas finished his course, he
has kept the faith; as for the rest,
there is laid up for him a crown of
IJustice, which the Just Judge shall
render unto him.

LAW AND ORDER MUST PREVAIL
By CHESTER H. ROWELL
In California laboratory


This making a joke of lawlessneSs
is dangerous business. For the eX
ample might spread. If your debonair
clubman may treat with contempt the
prohibition law which he dislikes,
why may not the l. W. w. treat with
contempt the laws which he disiikes:
If your business man may wink at
bootlegging, with what face shall he
condemn the walking delegate who
winks at sabotage? If men of means
oppose state prohibition enforcement
and support administrations which con-
done violations of the liquor law, how
shall they complain if poorer men do
politics to get police who will not
enforce the anti-picketing laws. We
condemn a labor union which refuses
to abide by an arbitration award.
What shall we say OF those who seek
to sneak through the arbitramcnt Of
| two-thirds of Congress and forty-five
| out Of forty-eight legislatures?
1t is not enough to say that public
sentiment" is against prohibition, and
! that the law comes, therefore, quite
naturally into contempt. For public
sentiment is by enormous majority,
in favor Of prohibition. The senti-
ment against it is localized or grouD
minority sentiment 1t may be the
sentiment of your class or Of your
neighbOrhood, but it is not the sentl-

HARNESS THE COLORADO

Long Beach Press: The fact that
Herbert c. Hoover has been elected
permanent chairman of the Colorado
river commission is guarantee that
the great project which this commits
sion has under advisement will be put
through successfully. Mr.. Hoover is
an engineer Of Worldwide fame. He
can grasp the vastness of this en-
terprise. He comprehends the magni-
tudc Of the work. He also is capable
of conceiving of the immensity of the
benefits that surely will be derived
from the building of the Boulder
dam, the impounding of waters suffi-
cient to irrigate millions of acres of
land now fallow and the generating
of millions of horsepower Of hydro
electric energy.
No project of such magnitude as
this has ever been undertaken in this
country. The federal government
from present indications, will con-
struct the great dahn. Mr.. Hoover is
splendidly fitted to supervise this
mammoth work. Its Importance to the
Southwest in particular and the whole
West in general is almost beyond cs-
innate.

WOMAN UNWITTINGLY
HAS CARRIED DISEASE

Albany, N. Y. October ga wom-
an who for more than 20 years has
unwittingly infected with typhoid
germs members of her family and
others in upstate cities, has been
"trailed" by state and local health
officers and put under restriction TO
prevent further contagion. Thirteen
cases of the disease may be traced to
the woman, authorities say.
The first to be infected was a
boader who fell i'll with typhoid in
1900, the health department authori-
tise said, in reviewing the case. Since
that time the woman has visited in
the homes of her sons and daughters
in-law for varying periods, with the
result that she has infected four
sons-in laws, two sisters. the father
and mother of one of the sons-in-law,
two grandsons. and indirectly q nurse
employed in one of the cases. The
case is considered the moro remark
abel, because not one of the woman's
own children, seven daughters and
three sons, has contracted the dis
case.
