Pluralism Declared to Give Life the Highest Possible o Value. D. Bakewell of Berkeley Believes That Immortality Makes Life Worth Living. BERKELEY, Feb. 18—Dr. C. M. Bakewell in an address before the Phil- osophical Union this evening on the subject, “Is Life Worth Living?” de- | clared that in spite of all appearares life is supremely worth living. The meeting this evening was the seventy- seventh regular meeting of the union and the first meeting in the Philosophy building. Dr. Bakewell’s paper was in the nature of a criticism upon an essay by Professor Willlam James in his book on “The Will to Belleve,” which ‘the union is at present discuss- ing. In his criticism Dr. Bakewell said: I cannot help feeling that Professor | James’ paper, bright and entertaining as it is, has only broyght the question which professes to discuss into greater con- fusion, and that largely because he does not in his discussion separate two widely different questions: (1) By what persua- sion can one dissuade a would-be suicide from taking his life? (2) By what argu- ment can one convince a philosophical pessimist that life is worth living?

W. WOODWARD, Oakland’s INew Councilman. 18—Stmr Westport, for 18—Stmr George from official life just at this time, when the water rate ordinance is pending, has caused much comment, as it is gen- erally thought that he should have re- mained another week until a final vote is taken on the water ordinance. Mr. Fibush says his business takes all his time and he does mot care to stay longer in public life. The appointment of Major Woodward is a disappointment to those who are anxious to juggle with the water rates so that the ordinance so kindly pre- pared by the Contra Costa Company can be squeezed through the Council. | Major Woodward at once declared him- | self, for while he would not answer a | direct question regarding the. water rates, which he has had no opportunity vet of studying, he stated very posi- tively that he will be found on the side of the people. This means that Major Woodward may either decline to vote or will vote against it. In either case, his vote will | be lost to the water companies, for; should he join Messrs. Cuvelier, Upton, | Rowe, Girard, Brosnahan and Pringle the vote for the people’s ordinance would be 7 to 4. Should the new Coun- cilman decline to vote, not having taken part in the previous discussions, the vote will be 6 to 4. Ever since the six Counclilmen have gone on record, considerable influence has been brought to bear on some of them to cause them to fall down, but they all declare they will stand by their constituents. Major | Woodward has been for many years a | real estate dealer and an active mem- | ber of Lyon Post, G. A. R. He bhas| had a long experience in Oakland, and should make a practical Councilman. | ———r————— Death of Captain Barker. !

For him the true ques- tion as to the worth of life resolves itself into the question as to the worth of man. ‘What he wants to know is: “Is life really worth living?” or what is the same thing: “Is he really a being of infinite and eter- nal worth’ The reflective student can only uold life to be worth living if he can find good, solid grounds for bellevlng that his igeais are not vain desires, and his struggles. which may seem futile, are bearing _ruit; that there is an.order in which virtue is not trampled under foot and- vice does not triumph; that it is only in the par- tial picture that this seems to be so, and that the problem means this is easily seen, for it is our human ideals, and they alone, which are for us the standard of all worth. It is in the establishing of the truth of the real infinite world of the bearer of life, In his union with God, that life can be shown to have real worth, that our prilosopher pessimist can be truly an- swered. And 1 maintain further that hilosophy can establish and has estab- Hshed this truth, And it is because it has done so that I conclude that life is, in spite of all appearances, supremely worth living.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 18. Ina Wilmore, the girl lover of AWe Majors and the sister of Bert Wil- more, the romantic' boy burglars, is working to obtain a pardon for the lad, who is now serving a ten-year sentence in Folsom. Yesterday afternoon Ina and Colonel Dimpfel were in the County Clerk’s office looking over the papers, so that there should be no mistake as to the various steps to be taken in seeking the clemency which the young girl so ardently desires. b4 Ina Wilmore is now 15 years old and is a bright-eyed, intelligent girl. She is at present working as a nursegirl, and everybody speaks very highly of her. The last two years of her life have made a woman of her, and taught her gelf-reliance. At the time of the trial every effort was made to show that her mother and also that she knew of the long list of thefts and burglaries committed by her brother and Abe Majors, but although Mrs. Wilmore was detained in jail and examined in the Police Court it could not be proved that she knew anything of the lads’ career of crime. The bitter experience since her brother was arrested and sentenced has made Ina thoughtful and philosophical beyond her years. As she sat at the table in the County Clerk’s office looking through theé record of arrest, confession and sentence her large blue eyes filled with tears as she thought of her brother and his companion, who had been so generous to her two years ago. But as soon as the somewhat bluff yet kind-hearted colonel spoke the girl _quickly changed her expression and suddenly became as practical as an at- torney. 2 P Now that the excitement of those days when burglaries were rife.-and mysterious has passed away there is not so much condemnation but con- siderable sympathy for the two lads. That their career was wicked and daring no one doubts, but it was more romantic than either, and the friends of the boys now believe that a less sentence than ten years would fit the case. Ina 18 confident thdt she can secure their release before long, as both lads are sald to be well behaved and to ‘have realized thoroughly the enor- mity of their crimes, which they certainly did not at the time they were tak- ing the role of outlaws. The bay burglars have not yet served quite two . years of thelr sentence. o WORKING TO SAVE B The student reception | to him will probably be postponed until | Mrs. M.
