Next Saturday, The Right Reverend
Mgr. Messmer, Bishop of Green Bay, ac-
companied by the Very Rev. Father Fox,
Vicar General will reach our town by
the 3 o'clock train. Our citizens will, no
doubt, most gladly welcome the first
pastor OF the diocese. An episcopal
visitation brings abundant spiritual
blessings, not only to those who will re-
ceive the sacrament of confirmation, but
to the community at large. A fathers
blessing descending upon his children is
never lost aud is sure always to produce
consoling fruits. The confirmation will
be administered to about sixty persons

the bell and the blessing of the three new
statues of the Sacred Heart, the Blessed,
and st. Joseph will take place in the af-
ternoon. Everyone is invited. The bell

tianus, eNnd will have several sponsors
to stand at the solemnity. On Mon
day evening Dist inst. his Lordship will
deliver a lecture on some interesting So
dial questions IN one of our halls A
crowded audience cannot fail to greet
the illustrious prelate and lecturer.

That is the name Of Club recently
organized in this city, and is composed
of ten Of our young men who have
decided on keeping bachelors hall in the

pleasure of each member of the Club.
They have rented D. 4. Riordan's resi-

and as soon as everything is in running
order they will give 81 grand banquet to
few invited guests. At u meeting held,

THE RlGhI KIND o. A LEAGUE

The meeting held at the chamber of
commerce yesterday to promote the
organization of free harbor league
should and we hope will prove the in
itiative to great popular movem snt in
behalf of San Pedro harbor. The mem
bership Of the league will not be limited
and should embrace every body in
Southern California, who is loyal TO
the interests and Jealous for the well
fare of the section.
To Los Angeles in particular and
Southern California in general the
matter of deep sea harbor at San
Pedro is OF immediate and far reach
ing Importance. A free harbor at the
point named would not only prove the
foundation of innum 4rable enterprises
certain to accelerate the prosperity of
the whole southern region, but it is sb-
solutely essential to the enjoyment in
all their fullness by Southern CAlifor-
MIA OF the benefits that will flow from
the completion of such vast projects
as the Nicaragua canal and the Los
Angeles and Salt Lake railroad.

friendly competitors in the
forward march Of civilization,
and strenuous and worthy rivals
in all the arts of peace" 1t is regret
table incidentally because the immi-
hence of serious conflict, and the con-
tiict itself, if it should unfortunately
come, will detract from the considera-
ton that should be bestowed on seri-
Gus questions of domestic concern,
questions that are really m ore init
mately related to the welfare of the
people of the United States by many
small piece of South American ter
ritory.
The position which this government
has taken, as elaborated by the presi-
dent in his message, is eminently
sound both according to the traditional
policy of the United States and inter
national law, as interpreted and prac-
ticed ty England and the great powers
of Europe in their relations with each
other. And it is a position that the peo-
pie must and we believe will sustain.
The contention of this government
has at no time been that Venezuela is
right and England wrong, or vice versa,
in the boundary controversy, but that
the rightness of their respective claims
should be determined by an impartial
board of arbitration. The extension
of British jurisdiction over territory
not generally recognized as belonging
to the British, and positively claimed
by the NeneZuelans, could not in the
light of the Monroe doctrine be con.
sldered as anything other than an OBJ
noxious attempt to extend mon
archial system of government on the
American continent. 1t would be
clearly an infraction of that doctrine
unless it were a5certained beyond
doubt that the territory claimed by
Great Britain really belonged to her,
something that the Investigation of
arbitrat rs could alone settle.
The Monroe doctrine or policy is
something that neither England nor
any other old world power can con-
sistently bubble over. it is but an
American application of theory that
the powers of the old world have
strenuously insisted on, the preserva-
ton of the balance of power in the
great divisions of the world. Monroe
ism simply means the preservation of
the balance of power on the American
continent.
SO long as there existed an element
of doubt regarding England's right
to the territory in dispute, the latter
country should have cheerfully SUBJ
mitted the question to arbitration.
Her refusal to do so to many will carry
the suggestion that she doubts the va
lidity of her own claims. AS power
in the vanguard of civilization, whose
people profess TO venerate justice and
abide by equity, she should have been
loath to insist on the seizure
of territory to which SOW
erejgn state laid counter claim.
A the president pointedly puts it:
at is deeply disappointing that such
all appeal, actuated by the most
friendly feelings toward both nations
directly concerned, addressed to Il
sense of justice and to the magnani-

lsthmlan water way Will confer but
comparatively little additional direct
benefit to Loa Angeles and vicinity
I unless we have harbor facilities of a
character to divert the increased com
merce from San Francisco. With a
free harbor able to meet the dem 4nds
of deep sea shipping the supremacy of
San Francisco as Pacific coast harbor
would soon become doubtful quantity.
There would be little use for vessels
passing through the canal with cargoes
intended for distribution in the in
terror to continue to the Golden Gate
city if they could find safe and ample
accommodation at San Pedro. Not
only would the continuance of voyage
to San Francisco under such circum-
stances be waste of time and capital,
but the superiority Of the railroad
facilities offered by Los Angeles over
those to be had at San Francisco for
the trans-shipment Of cargoes would
ship masters to select San Pedro ss a
place of unloading preferable to the
northern harbor.
But without free deep-sea harbor
the good effects of the construc ton of
the Nicaragua canal will come to
Southern California in relatively slight
degree and then only by indirection
and sympathy. With free deep-sea
harbor this section will be the recipient
Immediately and directly of more of
the resultant benefits of the canal than
all the balance of the Pacific Slope,
No mora potent stimulus could be
given the Salt Lake railroad scheme
than the ass urance-embodied in an
adequate congressional appropriation
for the purpose-that the harbor of
San Pedro would be made fit for the
reception of the ships of the ocean,
and that in consequence Los Angeles
would, instead of remaining mere
interior distributing point, become 4
participant in the commerce of the
world. This city would then become a
terminal point worth striving for, and
neither the money nor the men ueces-
sary to make it the termu OF new
traucontinental railway would he long
lacking.
But the manifold blessings that
would come to this section with the
building of the San Pedro harbor have
been too often rehearsed 10 need even
suggestion again. They are familiar
to all Southern Cslifornians and we
believe are admitted by practically all.
Regarding the value of the harbor and
its location there is substantial unanim-
ity. The next thing to do is to get it,.
The organization of the Free Harbor
League is good step in the work of
getting. The leagues suggestions as
to me hods by which our congressman
may be aided and other mem bers
influenced are sagacious and should be
literally followed by the people. No
consideration of petty jealousy or per-
sonal feeling regarding any individual
who might happen to be identified with
the movement should weigh in the
minds OF those who are truly anxious
for the advancement of this part Of

is non-partisan and uon-politlcal and

THERE WILL BE A DECENT MATERNITY
WARD.


WARD.
DIR. Barber, the superintendent of
the county hospital, has decided not to
vacate the maternity ward He will
continue to occupy it MS a private
residence. But the Doctor has planned
to have a new maternity ward which
will be fully equal in point of con-
veniences and sanitary conditions
to the old ward. In it the pa
TENTS going through the trials of
PARTITION can be as we'll cared for as
they could possibly be, for the Doc
tors idea is to give them all the COM
forts that are essential to their early
convalescence. This was what The
HERALD was striving to secure for the
unfortunate patients and it is what
they have not had for two months
past. Dr. Barber admits this when he
makes the changes and improvements
that are detailed in another column.
1t is doubtless advisable that the
superintendent should reside in the
institution that he has charge of. What
The HERALD objected to was the usur.
patton of the maternity ward by the
superintendent for residential pur-
poses and the substitution OF cell
like room for maternity ward, where
the atmosphere was vile and where the
conditions we're unhealthful and alto
gether bad But the doctor has recog-
nized the complaint and will remedy
1t. He will reside in the hospital, no
one will suffer as result and all will
be we'll
The doctor admitted yesterday that
he was endeavoring to and had sue
ceeded in introducing some reforms in
the hospital management in the way OF
economy. He explained that the little
table delicacies like picked walnuts,
pate de fol gras, canned shrimps. etc,
he had on hand, so that when the
supervisors or other great person
ages visited the hospital he could give
them meal that was appropriate to
their rank and station in life
The supervisorisl taste has become
truly epicurean, and it is perhaps we'll
that it should be catered to by DIR.
Barber and other county officials, par
ticularly when it can be done at the
public expense. We suppose that the
day is not far distant when angel food
and lsrk's wings will be included in
the menu of our public institutions on
days when the supervisors feed with
the official i'll charge.
The truly good Brother Field of the
supervisors is forgiven. He refused to
state, as chairman of the hospital com
mittee, for whose consumption pate de
fol gras, picked walnuts, etc, we're
purchased. The inquiry was occasion
Cd by the fact that these and similar
Items appeared on the hospital grocery
bill every month. Brother Field is of
