lieve this circumstance will quicken
your efforts te bring offenders to JUS
tice and thereby vindicate the su-
premacy of the law.
The next violation of the law de-
sire to call your attention to is the
shooting of craps for money in pub
lie places. This kind of gambling is
denounced and published as a crime,
and is said to be habitully practiced
in this town.
1t was formerly considered par ex-
cellence. the game of the colOred peo-
pie, but, if we are to credit the state
ments published in the newspapers,
it would seem that the white man is
now striving tc outstrip his colored
competitor in this new way of vio-
lating the law.
1t is publicly asserted that young
men, and even lads Of tender age,
may frequently be seen at places of
public resort engaged at gambling at
this game, to the knowledge and Ger
tainly not against the consent of the
proprietors of these resorts.
There are two statuary enactments
on this subject; one adopted in 1886,
which makes gambling with dice or
cards on the public highways or pub
lie streets, crime. See Act 60 of
1886, p los; the other adopted in
1892, p 7, which makes gambling at
craps for money at any place crime,
and morever provides that any owner,
lessee or proprietor of any building
who shall permit in or about the
same, or on the premises connected
Herewith, the playing of the game
of craps, shall upon conviction be
fined, etc. See section 2 of the act
Under this act which is sufficiently
broad to warrant almost any action
your honorable body may take, you
will be justified in indicting any one
who is shown to have played this
game in any building. or the premis-
es connected therewith, whether the
same be a dwelling house or place of
business. You will be also justified
in indicting the owner or lessee of
any such building who knowingly
permits the playing of such games
in the house or the premises con
nected thereto.
In nsing the words, "who shall
permit" L think that the law intends
that guilty knowledge shall be es-
tablished so far as concerns the own
er, who may be non resident and
wholly ignorant of the fact that these
unlawful games are being played III
his house.
But so far as concerns a lesse who
actually occupies a house as place
Of business and is daily present pur-
suing his usual vocation, the case
would be different Very slight
proof of knowledge would be sufli-
cient in his case, aud this knowledge
may be fairly inferred from the cir
cumstances that the game is shown
to have been played on or III the leas
ed premises. 1t will be for him to
establish his ignorance or refusal to
give his consent.
If, as has been stated in the pub
lie prints, the violation of this law by
white men and boys in some of the
saloons is open and frequent, it GER
tainly evinces a deplorable state of
affairs; one that cannot too urgently
appeal to your sense of duty for re-
lief
l therefore specially impress upon
you the necessity of making dilligent
inquiry and true presentment of all
such cases as may be brought before
you in which the evidence will JUST
fy an Indictment.

against carrying concealed weapons
! and fOrbidding the sale of liquor to
min ors, sections ISIS. Seay's digest.
The reasons demanding the rigid
enforcement of these laws are so ap-
parent that they need no statement.
But there seems to be an idea in
some quarters that a judicial Ier-
mission to carry concealed weapons
may be granted and that this will re-
lieve one from the consequences of
the violation of the law.
This is a great mistake. No court
has the right TO suspend the opera
ton of law, or shield an evil doer
from the consequences OF having V o,
lated it. The carrying of concealed
weapons is a crime, whatever may be
the motive or how dire soever the
necessity for doing SO. That this
necessity arises some times is true,
but necessity is no justification. In
all such cases the wise discretion OF a
humane judge must and may safely
be trusted to apportion the penalty
to the just exigencies OF each partic-
ular case.
In conclusion. allow me to say that,
although the offences denounced IN
the statutes cited are classed as mis-
demeanors, there is as much, If not
more. need to enforce the law than IN
cases of felony.
Prosecutions for felony are rare As
compared with those for misdemean-
ors, and public feeling Is always
ready to approve convictions Tor
grave offences where conviction Il
justified by the evidence. In 9th, I
words, respect and reverence for the
law naturally prompt all men to alb
hor and punish those who are con-
victed of serious offences.
But this is not equally true of mis-
demeanors, and from the fact that
light penalties are annexed to them,
some persons are induced To think
that it is a matter of no great i'm
portance to the public whether Of
tenders are punished or not.
This is IA grave error. Everything
which affects the administration Of
the law, which vindicates IL private
right or Furnishes a public wrongs;
which preserves the peace aud good
order of society and secures the en-
joyment of life, liberty and property
Is of vital concernment to every COM
munity.
A prompt and rigid enforcement
Of the law will obtain for US these
blessings, while its lax administration
will Just as surely deprive us of
them; and lnasmucn as the Opportu-
mites and excuses for IA lax admin
istration are more frequently found
In mlsdemeanOrs than In felOnies, SO
the injury resulting therefroIn is
greater than in the latter.
The value of any criminal enact
ment as deterrent OF crime depends
upon the certainty CT Its enforcement.
not upon the severity of the penalty
and the certainty of punishment is
best impressed upon the mind of the
evil doer by rigid enforcement of
the law in all cases.

THE SANTA FE CUTS ON woRLD's
FAIR TICKETS.
On Monday th- Frrst Rod uction TO bs
Made. Qu-rrion as to Whether
This wiil NE. ~ Further Re-
ducti0ns or Not.

The Santa Fe company on next Mon
day will make the first cut in what
promises to become alively rate war be-
tween it and its rivals for passenger
traffic between this city and Chicago.
On the day mentioned travellers will
be able to purchase round trip tickets to
Chicago at the price Of $97.50-s reduc-
tion OF ~ so on prevailing rates over the
other transcontinental lines. 1t is mot
as wide as a barn ioor nor as deep as q
well, but twill do" as starter anyway.
A high official OF the company yester-
day explained he matter to a HERALD
reporter as follows:
I'VE first tried to get the Western
Passenger association to make round
"trip rate OF $3.50 to Chicago from
Southern California points during the
worlds fair, bur it was refused. Then
we asked for an $50 rate, and this was
refused, and we were told that we must
make the 500 rate.
"Well, we have done it as
long as we propose to, and when
the association refused to make q
round trip rate of $l7 30 from
the Missouri river to Chicago, our road
drew out and decided to 20 it alone
This 1915 rate is made by adding the
$50 round trip rate from Southern Cali
fornia points to the Mi souri, river to
the $l7 30 fate above mentioned.
"What does this mean? Well, time
will tell. don't know what the other
Ines will do II they give further cut
II is not likely that we will let them
give lower rate than we can meet.
But it does not necessarily mean war.
We think we arr doing right, for from
the first we have considered the 800
rate too high No. will not say what
think will be the effect on the other
lines, for we are very far from doing the
knock this-chip of my y-shoulder-ifyou-
dare act, hut a few days will probably
tell the tale"

BLoUaT's MI SION.

The public cannot be greatly deceived
by anything that goes on in daylight.
When a few professional "old flag"
shouters began to have their ding at
Commissioner Blount for having the
flag taken down over the provisional
government building it only required
the citation of Secretary Fosters own
dispatches to Min ster Stevens on the
subject to show how ridiculous it all
wac. Since Foster declared that his
acts as this latter affair ''are edissvowed," /"
no good Republicans could say more.
Hawaii, whatever might happen alter
wards, was, during all the Harrison ad-
mnistraticE, and ever since has been,
an independent power, and we are treat
ing it as such to the strictest detail oil
theory, practice and courtesy. To put
our flag over it, whether to help our
ofiicials, or any otheI set Of men, rioters
or alleged eaints and saviors, was to d.
an act 30 indeiensibly absurd that there
have not been two opinions about ii
among the leading men of all parties.
But when the flag incident had had
lie day it became necessary to find an
other cause Of complaint against the
Cleveland administration. And 80 it
came to bsVdeclared in concert that
Blount was treating Minister Stevene
shabby and that the latter WAS cast
down in soul because OF it. But only
yesterday came tho pleasant news that
Minister Steyens not only had not been
snubbsd since Secretary Foster did it,
but that he was to come away OF his own
choice, leaving the legation in charge OF
Consul severance, and further that he
had just given Commiseionfr Blount a
complimentary dinner, at which the
host let himself out as to conviviality
as much ms Maine man is ever sup
posed to do az feast.
And now what will come next? All
one can truly say or see, is that Mr.
Blount 10 doing quiet, thorough work
just such as deserved to be d me. and
Of etiquette to the constituted autho
ities. In fine, he is doing just sucn
work as man Of his ability, and equip
ped by long service at the head of the
house committee on foreign affairs
would he expected to do. The only re-
grettable thing in the whole business
has been the miserable conceit, born oi
a long term of power, which seems to
have made the average Republican ed
itor and correspondent ASA ms that no
Democrat could do able and honest ser
vice to the government. We hope and
trust that these gentlemen will have n

eagerly looked forward to by every in
habitant OF Long Beach and the sur
rounding country as we'll.
The town expects to do itself proud
tomorrow, and extends its hospitality to
all of it's neighbors. That the honors
will be done right royalty it is needless
to say.
Every provision has been made for
the entertainment. Preparations have
been in progress for months past. and
the present excellent programme is the
result. There will be music by the Pas
adena and Whittier Cadet bands,
speeches by Henry 7. Hazard and
Hon. T. E. Gibbon of Los An
geles and John Roberts of Long Beach

in order to give the people an opportu-
nifty to take lunch. and at l O'Clock the
real fun will commence with the boat
rides.
In the evening there will be ball at

All OF the bath houses which were re-
qnired to supply the crowds OF last
enmmer are now running 80 there need
be no fear about a scarcity Of bathing

The fishermen will also have q splen-
did opportunity to try their luck from
the new wharf as it is a most perfect
structure for this purpose. There are
also large number OF restaurants run

i A better impression of the natural
beauty OF Long Beach can hardly be OBJ
tanned to any time than will be afforded
tomorrow. From the end of the new
wharf the view OF the surrounding
country is magnificent. stretching in
panorama from below Newport on the
southeast clear around to Point Firmin

proper and an approach or pier. The
wharf is about 80 feet in width and is
over 400 feet in length. The pier is
about 20 feet wide and is amply guarded
by rails. A fight of stairs communicate
from the wharf TO the water. where the
row and sail boats will be moored. The
wharf proper is guarded by clusters Of
fender piles. While the structure is in
tended for pleasure wharf, ample facil-
ities have been provided for the largest
