EDITORS HERALD: The city council
has at last made move in the right di-
rection. But how and where does it get
F the power? Several months ago come
of the citizens, after much consultation
on the subject of "the unemployed,
were informed that the charter limited
the expenditure Of money-or. rather,
the assuming OF debt for any purpose
except the supply of water. The city
must be out of debt, or else have decid-
ed to take the lead and overreach the
charter limitations. Necessity knows
no law.-rather ia the creation of all
law. Human wants cannot always wait
for presidents, and charters as we'll as
constitutions sometimes serve the peo-
pie better by breach than by observance.
Would it not be good plan If private
citizens who have lots TO improve, or
any other work, would supplement the
public appropriation and cooperate so
as to furnish all our unemployed with
work? Certainly in this Golden State
OF unequRled climate and unreckoned
resources no man or woman, even
though not the head OF family, should
go hungry, for ali are likewise children
of the great family of humanity. Laws
that, inadvertently, perhaps, have Gre
ated multitude of idlers should be
swiftly counteracted by the people, else
the devil will lind mischief for the idle
hands. Healthy work means self-
respect and self-preservation. Char
ity dinners, free breakfast and free
soup should be absorbed into
state and municipal work, pub
lie roads, irrigation, etc. Many
profitable schemes could be started to
keep an industrial army employed as a
wise and economic substitute for
charity.
just read: "Two men will serve %
days in jail for beating their board
bills" Yes, serve-that is the word
The men serve the tjme-and we serve
them by paying their bills. The county
and city have free lodging-houses at
great cost, that are filed moetly with
drunks, vsgrants, beggars of, and steal
ers Of, food, and besters of board bills.
r In the name of American liberty, genius
and progress, let us work for remedy.
Free labor bureaus should be an index
to great chapter Of work. Cas-.

Frostless Belt.
CoLEeRovE, Jan. 8, 199

OOLEdhOVE, JhH. u loof'
EDITORS HERALD: Itshould be known
that in this locality, 80 near the city,
the extreme cold of last week did little
or no harm. The only vegetable that
and this occurred in but few places. No
trace of frost can be found on the young
and tender lemon trees, of which large
number were set out last year. The
lemon is the most sensitive of trees, and
If there had been any frost here worth
mentioning the young lemon sprouts
would have shown it. This region, 30
happily exempt from all destructive
cold, is about two miles in width from
north to south, and extends from the
northwesterly limits OF the city almost
or quite, to the ocean, a distance of Is or
more miles. Its elevation above the sea
level is about from 250 to 800 feet. At a
lower or higher elevation the planting
of vegetables and trees susceptible to
frost is attended with the usual rick. The
people OF Los Angeles can rely with con-
tidence ON this suburb for supply of
midwinter vegetables of the best quail
ity. A large acreage has been planted
and they are already we'll advanced.

and Pacific railroad will renew its opera
tions in the early spring, and that will
give an additional impulse to the grow
ing prosperity of this valley. That, and
a supply of water, which is to come from
the waste flow of the Los Angeles river,
will give this whole section new life.
Attention is directed more than usual
of late here TO the subject OF good roade.
The recent action OF the city in improv-
ing Temple road, which leads directly
to this valley, has tendency to inspire
similar action on the part of our country
road authorities, and the city people
will soon he accommodated with the
best OF suburban drive in this direc-
ton. Many of our roads are in good
condition now, and all will be so in the
near future, for we have, easy TO get at,
the very best road material to be found
any where. 1t is a sort of decomposed
granite; some call 1T rotten granite.

Questions About the soidIers' Homo.
EDITORS HERALD: An unsigned cor
respondence in recent Issue Of the
Express pooh-poohs to death an earlier
letter of an old soldier in the HERALD,
and finds nothing but eulogisms for the
present management of the Soldiers
home at Santa Monica. Now will the
Express correspondent be complacent
enough to answer the following ques-
tions-only two out OF hundred which
might be propounded.
Query l. OF the 2200 or 2300 names
appearing on the roll of that institution
since its establishment, just how many,
more or less, are of men crippled in the
late struggle and thereby impossibili-
tated from earning living?
Query 2. BY what kind of an india
rubber system OF ethics could the gov
ernor, brimtul of that humaneness
which calls for the Express mans
ala, ish adulstion. reject the man Arnet,
q recent applicant for admission, and
who, owing TO abieet poverty and phys
ical disability, was received on the 9TH
OF this month into the Los Angeles
county farm? If being q worthy col
dier, utterly paralyzed in his neither
limbs and climaxed with absolute
blindness, be not a paramount claim,
what in Jingo's name is?
Answers will interest many and prove
edifying to the same OLD SOLDIER.

A Compton Church Episode.

EDITORS HERALD: 1t Ia with feelings
OF regret that ask the privilege of Civ
ing this short epistle space in your
valuable columns. In going to church,
which attend regularly, it happened
to be my misfortune to attend the
Compton NJ. b. church. was not long
eeated before young man, titled an
usher, ushered me out OF the pew. |
quietly reached over for my hat and
gloves and, seeing no provision made to
get me seat, my exit from the church
was not disturbed. Your correspondent,
the previous Sabbath, was treated about
the came. At the toll OF the bell, being
desrous to attend church, | quietly
walked in. Being we'll acquainted |
became seated, supposing salvation was
free, but to my utter cetonishment q
lady and gentleman crossed the aisle
and crowded me out of my seat. The
latter were supposed to be church mem
bers; minds not filled with the teach
ings OF Him who taught us to love our
neighbor as ourselves, but wanting in
an education to know how to respect
strangers who enter the house of God,
and vet call themselves Christians.
If those belonging to the church who
have been more fortunate would take
an interest in training those who have
not, it would do much good and would
10 doubt be the means of many attend
ing church who do not, all on account
of persons placed in popular positions
not qualified. w. l. STERENs.
