Slsnd-r In Prayers.

Miss Tessa L. Kelso OF Los Angeles has given
the word new thing to talk about and the
lawyers an in: eres ing problem TO solve. The
Angeles, and there has been some press and
pulpit controversy of the character of the
books to be placed upon its shelves, Bitter
things have been said both Sides Some
books that the devout members of the COM
munity thought ought to be excluded were
put in the library, and this intensified the
discord. The pastor of the First Methodist
chuch, Rev. j. W. Campbell. lifted his voice
in prayer by way of helping his side His
petition to the great white throne has got him
into trouble, for Miss Kelso has sued him for
ages for what she considers his unjust intima-
tions to the Deity in the presenc Of large
congregation that she was sinful and not en-
tirely worthy of Ler Office.
These the words from the lips of the
holy man of which Miss Kelso complains:
30, Lord, vouchsafe Thy saving grace to the
librarian OF the Los Angeles public library,
and cleanse her of all sin, and make her
worthy of her Office"
The suit will soon be decided, and it will de-
termine whether preacher has right to pray
in public TO- any person be chooses, or whether
divine supplication can be made vehicle for
slander. A good deal of this sort OF thing has
en- done, and it is just possible that the
good lady OF Los Angeles befrre she gets
through with Mr.. Campbell, will have rendered
q service to many other sinners maligned in
mnch the same way.

THE ELECTRIC CAR FRANCHISE.

There are several little jokes concealed
in the Electric company's franchise,
which it is surprising the council failed
to discover. and still more surprising
that the people do not enter vigorous
protest against. For example, if the
people of East Los Angeles really under.
stood that the new franchise will allow
the company to take down the iron via
duct over the Southern Pacific track at
San Fernando street, using eurface
crossing in its stead. and il they really
appreciated what this will mean in in~
convenience, danger and loss Of time,
they would probably besiege the city
hall several thousand strong and de-
mand that the mayor veto the ordi-
nance that grants the franchise. Before
the viaduct WAS constructed the etrest
cars were often detained from 10 to So
minutes, waiting for the switching Of
trains. The railway company does not
declare in so many words its intention
OF removing the viaduct; but the fact
that i. should be co anxious to have
this provision appear in the franchise
shows very clearly that it is pert OF
its plan.
TIE HERALD has several times called
attention to another feature of this per-
nicious measure, by which the company
10 allowed to keep the tracks which now
mar the sefulness of Fifth. Olive, Sixth,
Pearl, Figueroa and Ninth streets for
two years longer without running any
cars over them. This is entirely con.
trary to law and o great injury to the
people living along these lines.
Now section SOL Of the civil code, to
which we beg most respectfully to call
the attention of the council and the city
attorney. provides that "the cars must
be of the most approved construction for
the comfort and convenience of pas
sengers." This doesn't mean the pneu'
monia cars that are now run as trailers
on most OF the lines. nor the rsttle.traps
that are run ON the Maple avenue and
Central avenue divisions.
The chief advantage OF the franchise
to offset oil these drawbacks seems to be
that it will allow the councilmon to ride
free. This is OF course a!material point.
and should not be overlooked.

THE silence of The HERALD's local con.
temporaries regarding the agitation for
q com psting railroad from the San jon
quin valley to Los Angeles, may be sig
nificsnt of nothing more serious than ig-
norance of what constitutes news. The
HERALD is not prepared to accuse its con-
temporaries OF ulterior motives in thus
defrauding their readers OF information
concerning matter that is engaging
the attention OF the entire state. A
fear of antagonizing the interests of the
Southern Pacific cannot be the reason
for ignoring this important question.
Los Angeles does not fear the wrath OF
the corporation that is stranglng the
life out of Northern California. Los
Angeles is not afraid of the discrimina-
ton and extor.;on that are running the
commerce of San Francisco. 1t lie
strange, therefore, that only THE
HERALD. OF all the Los Angeles news
papers. should present the facts and
publish the views of citizsns concern
ing q matter SO important to the people
OF Southern California. Jealousy of
THE HERALDs superior enterprise is
also out o! the question, for our contem-
temporssies are broad minded. generous,
pu bile spirited and utterly incapable OF
such psssy euiking. Perhaps our con-
temporsriss will fall into line in day or
two, however, in which event all will
be forgiven.

FuiniImanf.

All the skies had gloomed in gray,
Many week; day alter day.
Nothing came the blank to fl l,
Nothing stirred the stagnant will.
Winds were raw: buds would not swell;
Some malign and sullen spell
soured the currents of the year,
And filled the heart with lurking fear.
In his room he moped and glowered,
Where the leaden daylight lowered;
Drummed the easement turned his book,
Hating natures hostile look.
Suddenly there came day
When he flung his book away.
Something hinted help was near:
Winds were fresh, and sky was clear:
Light he stepped and firmly planned
some good news was close at hand.
Truly, for when day was done,
He was lying all alone;
Frett,d pulse had ceased to beat
Very still were hands and feet,
And the robins, through the long
Twilight, sang his slumber song.

No state in the union is more richly endowed
with natural resources for tho production of
the necessities of life than California, says the
Chino Valley Champion. Yet there seems to
prevail among Californians a fepugnGnce to

improvidence of tn is well set forth by Pres
ident Dan Freeman of the Los Angeles
chamber OF commerce He says: owe are
still suffering from underproduction in the
very necessities OF ife. When it takes ira II
OF cars nearly mile long to bring into this
state the eggs that the cnterpr sing hens OF
Konsas and Iowa lay for us, and when we i'm
port annua ly over 1000 caSloads of bacon,
poultry dried fruits and other products to the
value of $4,000, 600 that could be raised here,
let no enc croak about OVERRIDING things in this
country. Nothing could be more absurd than
to imp port eggs and poultry from the east into
this sunny state and yet that is just what is
being done. We will be q provident people
when we become Independent of the world for
the food products which We can grow on our

THE MATHEWS AMENDMENT

The HERALD today publishes the full
text OF the amendment to the stste
constitution to be offered by Senator
Mathsws. This amsndmsnt provides
Tor the building Of state railroad under
direction Of the legislature BY the issu.
ancs OF bonds,
Mr.. Mathews explains that il is not
the purpose Of this amendment to an
tegon'zs existing limos OF railroad, and
that it need not antagoniz, them except
50 far as independents competition is
concerned. The operation OF a railroad
by the state would necessarily compel
the private corporations in the came
business to reduce their frsigh:s and
fares to the figure fixsd BY the legislature
or the state railroad. The latter would
forever be free from such entanglinR
alliances as pools and syndicstes,
and the only danger attaching
to the proposition lie, in manipulation
of the legislature in the interests of the
private corporations to the detfiment of
the peoples railroad. II, at any time.
such influence should be brought to
bear with sufficient force to convert the
state railroad to the use of private corr
porations. the people have only them
selves to blame. for the election OF their

road commission.
1t is also urged on behalf of this
measure that the saving to tho people
in fares and freight will moro than
compensate for the tax necessary to pay
the debt. When the government fore
closes on the Central Pacific, Californis
will enjoy the benefits OF govern ment
ownership over q transc ontinental as
we'll as . state limo, and opportunity
will no longer exist for unjust di iscrimi-
nation on the quibble Of "long aud short
hauls." The charge to the pro ducer
will no longer be regulated by "all the
traffic will bsar."
That euch q measure will mset with
populsr approval 10 evidenced by the
Examiners coupon vote against the
Reilly refunding bill, and the present
agitation in favor of competing
railroad through the San joaquin
valley. 1t is not an arbitrary measure.
for it must come to the people for their
suffrage. The legislature will scarcely
refuse to consider the measure, and un-
less Southern Pacific influence DOM
mates that body it will be passed over
to the people who have the best right to
decide whether it is in their interests.
1t 10 hardly credible that the South
ern Pacific can 40 far control the action
Of the legislature as to balk the intent
OF the Mathews amendment. The
mem bers of the senate and assembly are
we'll informed concerning the attitude Of
their constituents toward monopoly in
railroad traffic, and they will not dare
to 60 on record as opposing q measure
so palpably in the interests OF tn Q
whole people.

San Francisco is now $50 mi es nearer to
