been entirely too much Of hyphenation and
not enough Of Americanism. When an indi-
vidual born of foreign parents In a foreign
land takes the oath of naturalization his
allegiance to the land Of his birth or to
any foreign power dies instantly; from that
time forth he may legally and properly
claim the protection of the Stars and
Stripes. He Is not an Italian-American or
a Spanish-American, or a French-American
or an Anglo-American. He Is either an
American or he Is not. Poets have sung of
love Of country. and the sentiment-for
which millions Of men have given up their
hves-should not be needlessly crushed. but
when a man voluntarily elects to leave his
native land and to dwell elsewhere because
IN the new home are better conditions and
possibilities almost unbounded, he owes to
the country of his adoption his all of 10y
atty and to the flag which protects him an
undivided patriotism.

Deputy Coroner Glazebrook's decision to
cut of all public investigation into the
causes Of the Stumph fire and the I'M
toward circumstances surrounding that hor-
rible coniagration Is deserving of emphatic
condemnation. While thousands of people
are discussing allesations-some Of which
may not be well founded-as to happenings
directly connected with this most recent Of
local calamities. 1t Is more than remarkable
that a public officer, who bears so much Of
responsibility as DR.. Glazebrook does at
this time. should announce himself ready to
issue certificates Of accidental death in
the cases Of those who yesterday persisted
within the walls Of what proved to be q
death-trap. At this time the cause of the
fire Is unknown; unless there Is investiga-
ton 1t never will be known. There is what
appears to be reasonably sound evidence Of
carelessness as to the equipment of the
fated building with suitable avenues Of
escape for those employed therein. There
Is also a widely-circulated impression to
the effect that the fire-alarm system of the
city needs revision. The law and custom
provide that inquiry may be made into all
matters pertaining to the violent death of
any person, and such inquiries Invariably
commence with a coroner's inquest. There
Is no sound reason why there should not be
. coroner's inquest in this case; there Is
every reason why there should be one If
the building was improperly weak the
public should know 1t. II the deaths of
those whose blackened remains are In the
morgus were due to the absence of fire
escapes. The fact should be made plain. II

suited in the destruction Of human life.

decision too rapidly.

The Washington Star takes pardonable
pride in calling attention to it's magnificent

watch the great machines at work. There
are few more interesting sights than to see
one OF these presses at work. and the Dis

GOOD ROADS AND BRANCHING TREBs.

There has never been q more sensible
programme than that which has
emanRted from the chamber of COM
merce, and which aims to give this
lovely county OF Los Angeles good roads.
1t is really hard to exaggerate the inn
portance to this section of number of
well-made boulevards leading to the
principal points of Los Angeles county.
When We give the chamber of commerce
credit for the suggestion. we of course
mean to cay that it has placed it IN q
shape in " hich it can probably be made
to impress the board of supervisors. A
body composed of so many representa-
tive citizens as the chamber of COM
merce cannot fail to carry great weight
with our local Legislators. As far
ss the inception Of the idea is concerned
we assume that we are strictly in the
line of truth in saying that the HERALD
has been hammering on this good roads
idea ever since this journal was estab-
lished. We see no reason to doubt the
willingness of our people to vote bonds
for the work. A large sum of money
applied just now to making three or
four leading boulevsrds, and paid for in
day labor, would have great effect in
dispelling dull times. The money thus
expended would be returned tenfold to
the taxpayer in the next ten years.
We ought TO be ashamed when we think
how far the populous and opulent city
OF Los Angeles has been outdistanced in
the making OF boulevsrds by such cities
az Riverside and such towns as Airing
ton.
Not only should we have good and far
reaching boulevards, but tree planting
should become passion with our people.
Who that has not experienced the
blessed solace of an alameda OF far
branching trees, encountered at mid
day. under burning sun? Next to a
spring or brook OF crystal water. these
trees are the most grateful things that
one could run across. There Is abso-
lutely no limit to the benefits which
spring from this habit of tree. planting.
We ought to have an srbor day in Los
Angeles county, on which all the school
children should have holiday, and on
which each child should plant at least
one tree. Soon the whole county would
take ON an indsscribsbly gracious aspect.
and it would be a great delight to take
a ride in the balmy air OF this favored
region

IT SEEMS to be generally conceded
amongst even the boys themselves that
this year what ordinarily goes into fire.
crackers and bombs on the 4th OF July
ought to take the better direction OF re-
lieving those who have neither work
nor money. Psrsdes and celebrations
have been the usual thing in the past,
but now we have fallen on more serious
times. and we should all stand in to
help those who are at outs with fortune.
Let those who have been liberal in their
subscriptions in the past now help out
the unemployed. But to do the maxi
mum of good in such programme the
same lines of committees should be ap-
pointed, and there should be the same
energetic solicitation as in an ordinary
celebration. Otherwise the boys will
lose their fun, and those who need relief
will fail to see any dole forthcoming.

THE WILTSHIRE FORUM
CALIFORNIANS ORECEIvE THEIR
SHARES OF A VAST ESTATE.
An Amicable Settlement Dat Of COURT
of the Differences Bstween FL. Gay
Wiltshire aud Hts Brothers
and Sisters.

A large estate is to be divided among
William B. Wiltshire of this city and
other heirs of his father. the late g gorge
Wiltshire, one OF the rich men OF Cincin.
natl, says the San Francisco Examiner.
TIE value OF the property is estimate d
to be 81, 200, 900, and the estate consists
OF real property in Chicago and Cinoin-
natl and stocks and bonds. The heirs
are the children by his first marriage
George Wiltshire OF Covington. KY. w.
B. Wiltshire of San Francisco; II. G..
Wiltshire, formerly of California. but
now a resident of London, and Mrs.
Charles Carpenter of Los Angeles, and
a son by the second marriage, Nat Will
shire, a resident of Cincinnati.
The will bequeathed the estate to the
heirs, but made such conditions that
years would pass before all the prop
erty could be distributed. By the will
one-half of the estate was to be divided
when the youngest son, Nat, should
reach his majority. Early in this month
Mats twenty-frst birthday occurred,
and the event was celebrated at q grand
dinner in the University club in Oin-
cinnati, at which the guests were pre-
sented to young heirs isneee, Miss
Queen of Covington.
When an attempt was made to dis
tribute the 100000, all the legatees
except H. g. Wiltshire declared that
$50 900 should be deducted from II. G.
Wilshire'e share because of the loss of
that amount to his fathers estate by an
Improbable colony scheme in California
in which be had engaged.
Fl. g. Wiltshire vigorously opposed
any reduction of the amount to come to
him, and bitter family contest seemed
likely to follow the birthday dinner at
which the belle OF Covington was intro
duced to the friends and family of her
intended.
Many conferences were held at the st.
Nicholas hotel, and finally H. G. Will
shire won his point. All decided that an
amcable suit should be brought to set
aside the will Of the father, in order that
distribution of the entire estate may be
made at once. The court will be in
formed that the millionaire intended
that his heirs should inherit his prop
erty without lapse of years, and that his
conditions unintentionally defeated his
own purpose. They ask, therefore, that
the viii be set aside and distribution be
made equally among the heirs, accord
ing to his intention, and yet "a though
no will had been made. AS no contest
will be made, pro lorna judgment, in
accordance with the petition, is expected.
