DANGEROUS DECISION.
THIS THRIFTY COUNTRY.
WATCHING TEDDY.
NEW OCEAN TO RULE.

Laymen, out of respect for the
courts, assume that the Supreme
Court judges of California inter-
preted the law accurately when, by
a majority of only one, they de-
cided that La Follette's electors,
although duly named by petition,
should not go on the ballot in No
vember.
The people do not like to be told
by a Judge, or anybody, that they
may not vote for their own choice.
For a court by a majority of one,
in disregard of established custom,
to say that State electors are the
servants and agents of political
conventions, and therefore the peo-
pie have no right to name their
own electors hy petition, La DAN

Where Wilson Rests

IS altogether fitting that Woodrow Wilson the man
OF peace should be the first American president whose
body IS laid to rest in the national cathedral
Americas Westminster Abbey" on the heights of MI
st. Alban, overlooking the capital.
During his administration he carried out Roosevelts
dream OF great and beautiful Washington The ma
tonal cathedral first proposed by George Washington
was one of the things he had hoped to see dedicated
In his plan for national capital, Washington pro-
posed "a church for national purposes such as public
prayer thanksgiving, funeral oraons ct ceera TO be
assigned to no particular Sect but equally open to ALL"
Congress never fit to establish such church with
public funds but in years the Episcopal church
has undertaken the project. ALI sects now have Joined
In construction with the assurance that the national
cathedral will be "a church for national purposes equally
open to ALL"
1t is worthy cause, and the fact that Wilson. the
great man of peace is to be buried there will assure for
all time the existence of the national cathedral as one of
Americas greatest shrines

Don't Stop at Fall

HERE is lot of talk now about prosecutions in
connection with the oil lease scandal There
is q tendency for this talk to center around ex-
Secretary Fall. The ugly word bribery is used
in this connection. But prosecuting Fall on the
charge of having received brides from Doheny and
Sinclair will not be enough If the law says it is
crime for public official to receive bride, there
is just as good law that says it is also crime to
offer or give the dirty money That means that for
ly in any guilt of Fall In the eyes of the public,
their position is even worse. public official can
not accept bride unless and until it is offered.
In this case, it would be shameful thing If, as
a result of the great oil scandal, FALL and Fall
alone should suffer the humiliation of public trial
1t would be shameful thing were the two million
aires concerned with him TO escape that ordeal.

more lives more were claimed
yesterday by the typhoid fever epide-
mic which has held section of Elm

ment, when Mrs. Karl w. Halter, 81,

Ais p. m. at her home as Overlook
avenue
The two deaths yesterday, occur
ring within almost twelve hours of
each other, make the fifth and sixth
deaths during the present epidemic
and the fourth and fifth which can
be traced directly to the use of the
polluted water of one well in the
Forbes addition. The first death &C.
Cured eight days ago, when Thomas
Skillcorn, prominent Elm Grove man
succumbed. The mortality rate in
creased during the week with the
death of Carl Spring, popular Philade-
pllia high school student; Miss Cath
crime Barker, who died at Youngs-
town, Ohio and whose funeral will be
held at Elm Grove this morning, and
Mrs. Goldie Pickens of Richland
At present there are IS persons m

mely severe cases of typhoid, while

land, Ohio, whose source can be trac-
ed to the contaminated we'll With

sent there are "a cases of typhoid in
