the arms, not ours to do police duty for
him. During the civil war in this
country English blockade runners took
their chances of getting to port with
their contraband goods. If they made
the trip, all right; if our cruisers caught
them, the venture was dead loss. The
British government, however, was not
called upon to prevent their outfit from
British ports.
But even the Itata affair, bad as it
was. will not be so acutely felt, or treas.
ured as grievance against our govern
ment, as the brutal manner in which
the envoys of the Congressionalists have
been treated by our officials at Washing
ton. Not even the courtesies always
shown to gentlemen were extended to
these distinguished Chileans. They
were snubbed by every official from the
highest 10 the lowest, and socially ostra-
cized by society which always takes
it's cue in Washington from the ruling
powers. They were not only repulsed
socially, but they were repudiated with
studied offensiveness by the state de-
partment and all its officials.
As against the unpardonable brutality
OF the treatment Of these gentlemen and
their cause by the administration, we
are pleased to say that the American
press and the American people have
with great unanimity been in warm
sympathy with. the Congressionalists
By an unerring instinct which moves
the honest sentiments of liberty-lov-
ing people to side with those who are
fighting freedoms battle, the sympa-
thies of our people went out to the
Chilean Congressionalists and the cause
for which they were making so gallant
struggle.
The people and the press of this
country have the right to congratulate
them upon the signal triumph they
have achieved. That's more than the
administration can do without bIushing.

Maggie Birsch, till a boat reached them
and both were saved, though almost ex-
hausted. As Brokaw passed Maggie he
shouted, "Save this girl first" and swan
on to Annie Doyle.
She struggled from his grasp and sank,
but not till she had exhausted his
strength. The boat which had rescued
the other girl turned toward him. A
cross wave capsized it, and the next in
slant Brokaw sank. His father, Isaac
Brokaw, is millionaire clothier of New
York, and of course able to erect a fit
ting monument over his sons remains;
but the people have taken the matter in
hand and purpose to show their appre-
citation by general subscription. The
first contribution received by the COM
mittee was that Of housemaid in a pri-
vate family, who refused to give her
name, but desired to honor the memory
Of "a gentleman Of wealth who would
risk his life for a servant girl"
Frederick Brokaw was twenty-five
years old, and a amember of the class of
'98in the scientific department of Prince
ton college, New Jersey. He was uni
versally liked in the college, and was
the champion athlete. "The best catcher
Princeton ever had" is the verdict Of
his college mates. At the beginning Of
the summer vacation and his senior
year, in the golden age of youth and
strength, with every prospect bright, he
died hero in the attempt to save an

is neatly fitted up cigar stand. In the
hall to the right is soda fountain, and
to the left are elaborate reading roome,
where all the sporting and illustrated

tomorrow the recommendations that
the tax rate be fixed at 81 on the $lOO

to the dollar the accrued interest on

A GREAT deal of bosh is being forced
upon the public about the legal func-
tions of the state board of equalization.
1t has been found that in San Francisco
fragrant evasions OF the assessment law
have been practiced by capitalists. One
instance is cited of a syndicate deposit
ing $3,000,0O0 in the sub-treasury just
before the first of March, to escape as
sessment. Another is playing at hide
and seek by the Luning estate with a
note for half million that has neither
appeared as solvent asset of the estate
nor in the shape OF money that had
been paid. Other peculiar tricks OF
evasion have been found by the board.
Now the papers declare that the state
equalizers have no right under the
Wells, Fargo & Co. decision to raise in
dividual assessments. That is so. But
they have the right to raise the assess
ment OF the county as whole, and
against this the papers justly protest, if
it is exercised as an act of punishment
on account of the evasions of the Lun-.
ings, etc. The San Francisco papers,
however, 60 step further, and say that
the state board can only equalize the
assessment of any county as whole with
the assessments Of all other counties.
How can the board do this, if it cannot
consider individual assessments? In
what way, for instance, is the board to
determine that $23, ,6S1, ,115 is not an
equal assessment of Colusa county as
against $25, ,525, 1921 for Fresno county?
1t would not be practicable for the
board to 60 over every piece of land and
compare it's assessment in Fresno county
with every piece of land in Colusa
county. How then is the total amount
of one county to be equalized against
the total assessment of another county,
unless the board looks into individual
assessments and finds them too low in
one place, too high in another and fair
in another. If, then, it is found that in
one county the local board of equaliza-
ton has neglected it's duty and permit
ted shameful evasions in individual
cases, and the state board cannot, under
the supreme court decision, interfere
to raise or lower individual assessments,
in what other way can the state board
bring that county up to fair assess
ment but by raising the rate on the,
whole?

A GALAXY OF FAMOUS HORSES.

California is now alongside of Ken
lucky as the beet breeding state for fast
horses in the union. A point it has
taken Kentucky three-quarters OF a CEN
tury to reach, California has attained in
about ten years. Hereis list Of horses
and the turf status of each, of which
every Californian should feel proud
Yolo Maid, fastest pacing mare Stam-
boul, second fastest trotting stallion !;
Direct, second fastest pacing stallion;
Sunol, second fastest trotting mare !;
Freedom, fastest yearling in the world !;
Sunol, fastest 2-year-old in the world ;
Sunol, fastest 3-year-old in the world !;
Sunol, fastest 4-year-old in the world.
These horses were all bred in Califor.
MIA, and the fact that we have brought
our breeding farms up to this perfection
of production in ten years shows what
we may expect from them in the next
ten years. Our state is destined to be-
come the premier breeding region Of the
world. The fact that we have climate
that is equable all the year round,
reaching no extremes of heat and cold,
thus enabling the younglings to keep in
the open paddock from January to De-
cember, will prove, as it has already
proven, very important factor in the
physical and stamina development OF
our blooded stock. Whilst we do not
wish to disparage the northern part of
the state, we must claim, on good
grounds, and on the experience of all of
our successful breeders, that Los An
geles county is better adapted to the
raising of blooded and thoroughbred
stock than any other portion of the
state. This is attested by the success of
horses bred on the Santa Anita ranch
on the Sunny Slope, the Dew Drop; etc.
We believe that as an industry the
breeding farms for blooded and thorough
bred horses, and for the best roadsters for
private use, ARE destined to become ofsec-
ondary value to perhaps no other inter
est in Los Angeles county. We have in
the Rosemeade breeding farm the nu-
cleus for one of the most interesting ex-
periments ever made in the horse busi-
ness in this county. There is no place
in the world where are gathered sixty
mares possessing strains of the best and
most notable horses in the history of the
turf, together with stations all of royal
line. Should our people permit Mr..
Rose to break up this farm and sell his
stock to Kentucky breeders, as is pro-
posed, Los Angeles will lose a nursery
stud ofimmense value to the future rep
utation of this most promising industry.

The triumphant overthrow of Balma-
ceda and his government by the consti-
tutional forces places the conduct of our
government at Washington in Chilean
matters in q most contemplate light.
OF course there may be some excuse for
the refusal OF the administration to rec
ognize the Congressionalists as belliger-
ents. The exact extent of strength that
must be shown by people in revolt
against de facto government before il
is entitled to such recognition, is left to
the judgment of each cabinet. But there
were many reasons why the United
States government should not-even if
it could not act in q friendly way to-
wards the insurgents-have exhibited
towards them policy of downright
antagonism. The very reasons that
forced the .Congressionalists into open
revolution were such as appealed with
especial force to every American and
every lover of liberty. These reasons
alone should have impelled our govern
ment to osa friendly interest in their
cause.
What are the facts? Instead Of sym
pathy, the rules of international law
were stretched for the purpose Of ham
pering and injuring the cause OF the
Congressionalists. The seizure of the
Itata was not justified in law or in rea-
son. She was not war ship, nor had
she at the time of the seizure received
on board any arms for the use of the in
surgents. Yet she was, by stretch of
power, seized by the government without
warrant of law, for it is true that
when Marshal Gard placed her under
arrest he did 80 on the mere order of
the executive authorities and without
legal warrant issued out of any court of
law. Then followed the tarce of five
thousand miles chase, and the return of
the Itata under the guns Of the Charles
ton.
In the meantime, however, she had
received arms from schooner and had
started for Chile to hand them over to
the insurgents. Where was the viola
tion of international law in this? It is
not the duty of the government to stop
the channels of commerce 90 as to pre-
vent the expectation Of arms and sup
plies to belligerents. That is what
arms are manufactured for. to
sell them to men who want
there for fighting purposes. It Wa
the duty Of Balmaceda to intercept

RUSSIA.

In Russia for a woman to lose her
hair is a sign of disgrace, and yet the
pressure Of the famine is so great that
many Of the women are now cropping
their hair and selling it, in order to
obtain few roubles with which to
sustain life. In the meantime the
famine is now accompanied by typhus
fever, as is common in famine districts.
This fever is contagious, and is slowly
spreading. 1t is said that the reason
for the famine is that the taxes were so
heavy that the peasants were obliged
to sell their seed corn, SO that they had
nothing to plant, and that the rascal
ity Of the Russian officials is the real
reason for the trouble. A depleted

vites fever, but pulmonary complaints
as well. If you feel run down and
