THE PARADE

The people of Los Angeles have good
treason to thank and congratulate the
scOm ittee upon whom rested the re-.
responsibility for the magnificent showing
1made in yesterdays parade. 1t can be
,'put down for fact that there is not an
iother city in the country of the same
Epopulation as Los Angeles that made a
&better or more interesting street parade
than was to be seen here yesterday. 1t is
rdoubtful if Angelenos fully appreciate
the efforts that were put forth and the
results attained, but the newcomers who
have viewed like dem onstrations in east

& impressed. Here in Los Angeles we

pageantry. and the appearance of thon-
4 sands of men, to say nothing of floats and
more thousands of children, are today
looked upon by us as ordinary affairs.
When we consider that IN the wealthy
,city Of New York, with an adjacent coun-
try populated by millions of people, when

condsidered a "big" affair, we surely

CHILDREN IN THE PARADE

One of the most attractive features in
yesterdays parade was the presence OF so
large a number of school children. The
G.placlng OF children in the line of march
and making them active participants in
{ the Fourth of July celebration is a step in
the right direction. To most easterners
this is an innovation, but it Is one
worthy of being followed all over the
country. There is no method whereby
the young can be so deeply interested in
an event as by having them play some
part in it. One could not look at the pa
rade yesterday without calling to mind
the fact that the day was something the
, children must have been looking forward
' to with many hopes.
The mind of a child is always an in
Quiring one, and incidental to this prepar-
ations for the parade must come the in
quiry. What is 1t for? All children know
vim general way why we celebrate the
Fourth of July. However the weeks of
preparation and anticipation bring the
matter forcefully to their minds, to the
effect that IL is something more than
,-plcnic day. While children are taught
the Importance of the day to us. their
inquiring minds.lead them to investigate
more closely. The more we know Of
Washington and the noble men who were
associated with him. the better. In fact,
this is true OF all the early events of this
century.
Let the children investigate matters all
they choose and let them learn that the
principles of American independence
date to an earlier day than the signing of
the Declaration of Independence. They
came from what was practically the En-
glish republic of Cromwell by the way of
Holland. They were brought here on
the Mayfower The early New England
townships we've so many pioneer Iepub-
lies, and the sentiments that amin ated
them found expression in the Independ-
ence hall of Philadelphia. The children
cannot learn too much of this Their
preparation for the parade and its attend
ant features is the best kind Of training
for them.

CAN WE STOP TRAIN ROBBING :?

1t seems as though another epidemic
Of train robbing had broken out. 1t also
seems as though some remedy might be
employed TO rid this. the most civilized
nation on EARTH of such blot on civili-
\ Satlon. AS long as man is human, and
the cnances are that he always will be such
he will be prone to wickedness. There
will be crimes Of all degrees, including
yobberies of varying magnitude, that is
" long as some men follow the natural
trend of their nature. We're 1t not that
society is infes TED with men whose ten
denotes are to chose evil rather than that
which is good there would be no need of
laws nor of the sherffs and their depu-
ties. This point is well understood and
the laws are severe enough against train
yopbing. yet the robber1es continue to be
perpetrated and there is an overabundance
OF men who are willing to risk the pen
atty of the law. While this continues to
be the case the difficulty lies IN the en-
forcement of the laws. 1t is net SO verv
long ago that the epidemic ran to bank
robberies. Nowadays we seldom hear OF
. bank robbery unless 1t be by one in an
office of trust. The bank robbers have
turned their attention from banks to
railroad trains. This is not because
banks are anv more difficult to enter. for
the genius of the safe-cracker has kept
pace with that of the safe maker. This
detection of the talent of the robber is
due to the fact that bank breaking be-
came an extra hazardous occupation by
severe enforcement of the laws. Ban kers,

their efforts to detect and punish the vio-

bers in their work.
If the railroadicompanies would act to-

soon become quite as much a thing of the
past as is safe breaking today. During
the reign of an early king Of Englsnd the
laws were so severely enforced that it is
said one might hang jewels on the trees
and no robber dare touch them. Is not

A GOOD SUGGESTION

The Railway Age in recent issue de.
votes considerable space to the advisa.
bility of changing the name of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The
suggestion is timely and worthy the con
sideration of the Santa Fe stockholders.
Now that this system OF roads is to be
reorganized under new company, with
old debts and old mistakes wiped out,
it might be we'll to wipe out the old
name, and the company to start out with
such under which to make its record.
The Railway Age aptly says: $50.
When the parent road was started in
1859 as the Atchison and Topeka railroad
the name indicated its location and OBJ
lect. and when four years later the plan
OF its projectors was enlarged to include a
line pushing farther on to the arid soli-
tudes of Western Kansas and even to a
connection with the ancient Santa Fe
trail' the addition of Santa Fe to the title
was appropriate. But the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road was finished
in.lS73 to the Kansas Colorado line, 47O
miles from Atchison, the limit defined bv
its charter. and since then the tremend-
Gus growth of the system has been
effected by building, buying or leasing
something like fifty roads under other
names. almost any one of which would be
0S "pPioPI idIe ueSlSnatiOn 1Or tne great
combination OF lines which has resulted
as is the local name under which it now
labors. 1t would be hard to find a name
less geographically appropriate than the
present. Atchison and Santa Fe are not
on the main line at all, and Topeka is an
interior place OF only local Importance.
The road is widely advertised and
known as the "Santa Fe," and therefore
it would not be advisable to drop tile
words Santa Fe from any new name the
company might select. Considering the
vast territory that the road covers, stretch.
ing as it does three -fourths of the distance
across the country, it seems as though
the name Chicago, Santa Fe and Calfor-
MIA would be more appropriate title.

MOUNT LOWE, July 4.-The patriotic

their arrival at the top of the incline the

here was large center piece made by

COAL STATISTICS

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. July 4.-Ad.
vance sheets of the forthcoming coal re-
port for the year 1894. Issued by the state
bureau of labor statistics, are out. This
section deals with the investigation by
the bureau OF the great coal miners
strike OF last year. The returns embrace
statistics of rs, 207 employees of coal com.
panies working at 276 mines and operated
or managed by 200 companies or ow ners,
Voluminous tabulations accompany the
report to show in detail the facts which
were gathered for the preservation of
statistics of the strike. The recapitula.
tions OF the table show that 25, ,2O7 men
who participated lost an average of 72.4
days. Taking into consideration the con-
dition of the commercial business and
other reasons for anticipating probable
loss of time if the men had not gone out,
the secretary estimates the actual net
loss of time to the men at an average o /
1876 days, and he assumes that So repre-
sents fairly the day average wages of
the men. His conclusion is that the ag.
gregate net loss of wages u the strikers
was 81 sos. .9l0. which is an average of
$67. 20 to each man.
Other tables present detailed statistics
showing that only 1876 per cent of the
strikers were apled to resume work at
an average OF wages, or under changed
conditions OF employment which could be
''presumed" to be to their advantage.
The report shows that 49, 800 resumed
work on the same terms they worked
under previous to the strike and $500
submitted to reduced wages as the con-
dition to unemployment, making s7.4
per cent whose condition was not bene-
fitted by striking. In other words 25, 200
