THE ABATEMENT OF THE cIrY's SHAME

1t will be glad news to the people
treasuring the good name and prestige of
Los Angeles, and it is gratifying to the
Herald to learn, that the city council yes
terday authorized the police department
to secure Immediately suitable quarters
for female prisoners, instead of those
now occupied by them. This is the ex-
pected outcome OF the graphic and un-
pleasantly true picture that Marian de
Cfequy presented the Herald readers for
Sunday contemplation. 1t is not an
agreeable duty to bring so nauseating a
subject so plainly into the unsparing light
OF day, but in the name of humanity and
the interests of decency it had to be per-
formed, and the Herald feels compensated
in the remedial steps already taken. We
hope the good work has only comm en- ced,
and that before the end it may be possi-
Bile to incarcerate all the unfortunates who
must be imprisoned. in quarters that will
permit the observance OF the ordinary
laws of hygiene and a compliance with
the common decencies OF life.

Objects to liens Bathing Suits

Editor Herald The letter in The Her
ald by Anna Wolfskill on the Man Ques-
tion treats in delicate, but sensible and
truthful way. a matter which needs atten-
tion and reform-that of the display of
nudity made by the men who tumble
about in abbreviated bathing suits on the
sands of California beaches, close to ana
among large numbers of women and girls,
who are spectators OF the bathing scene,
but to whom these coarse performances
are disrespectful and offensive. If every
one of these beach tum blers was as hand
somely formed as Apollo and as graceful
as II Greek wrestler. the exhibition would
be Objectionable in such place; but TAX
ing them is they are, the familiarity
which they force upon the spectators
must breed contempt as well as disgust,
as your correspondent intimates If only
a few ladies at each seaside resort would
have the courage to unite and protest
against the evil. conspicuous signs re-
questing the men in bathing suits to keep
outside of certain limits would be put up,
and the rule would be easily enforced.
By the way, why is it that, while a
against the bathing suits worn by ladies'
most of them really unobjectionable, con-
sidering the place and the purpose for
which they are put on. not a word has
ever been said against the far more alb
breviated ones worn by our sex? Let the
preachers give fair woman rest. and
give the men metaphorical correction.
as similarly naughty child would be
spanked. for the unseemly display of
themselves which they make on the ocean
beaches. J. Is. M.

FUTILITY OF PASSION IN A REPORTER

Before large and presumably highly
interested audience in the city OF New
York last Saturday evening Father Ducey
delivered himself of some remarks regard
ing present social and industrial condi-
tions. In doing so he exhausted the vo-
cabulary of violent terms. The Rev.
Ducey invites sense OF fatigue. 1t is
plain that in an era of thought he is out
of his element. We do not at this writ
ing recall his political or economic pro-
clivities. Whether he is Democrat, Re.
publican, Populist socialist or single
tazer, we cannot say, and it is i'm mate
rial. He is or processes to be reformer,
which is certainly commendable as far
as it goes. There is plenty of room for
reform, and honest and intelligent re
formers are deserving OF cordial consider
alton. But the methods employed by che
Rev. Ducey are not the kind calculated
to hasten the reformation desired. He
would launch his followers on the sea of
passion and lose them in fog of preju-
dice. The industrial hardshps and social
inequalities that exist and that have pro-
duccu antag onistic clements threatening
to the peace of society, are the logical
and inevitable results OF violating natural
avs and ignoring sound economic prin-

THE GOOD TIME COMING

"The restoration of wages, which is
gradually coming on, is an evidence of
not only an i'm mprovementi in business, but
carries with it the faith of employers
that the change is OF a substantial, per-
manent character. Such testimony comes
from many mercantile interests. especially
cotton and wooden factories. l can cite
no better corroborative instance than that
Of the Washington mills, which during
the depression about year ago stopped
their works, which comprised machinery
a mile in length. These works are now
running night and day to keep up with
the orders for the goods they manufac-
ture. 1t is we'll to note in this connection
that the goods of this mammoth concern
are Of the finest quality OF woolen fabrics
made In this country, showing that the
present demand represents a return to
more extravagant outlays from quarter
that has been exercising rigid economy
for a prolonged period. There are a
larger number of buyers of goods now in
New York than ever known before in any
previous month of April. This is the rea-
son why the jobbers in dry goods, hard
ware, groceries and in all other lines of
trade feel so much more lubilant than
they have done for over year. People in
trade will soon begin to realize as of old
turn of prosperity, however, to bring it
about, which is now generally felt to be
forthcom ing. ."-Henry Clews.
There is probably no more careful, an
alytical and conservative authority on
current financial and economic conditions
than Henry Clews, and the brief dag.
nosis of the present state of affairs in the
United States. quoted above, is interesting
ana encouraging. 1t clearly indicates a
healthy tone and that better times are
headed our way. What is said of the
country in general may be applied to
California. From the Oregon to the Mex
ican line confidence seems to have revived
and an era OF investm ent and development
commenced. The orange season now ex-
piring seems to have been more profita-
BILE than IN long while, and in lemons
good prices seem certain because the sup
ply is apparently short of the demand.
Taken all in all the deciduous fiuit crop
will be fair and prices better than for
two or three seasons past. The grain out
put will also be ahead in amount and re.
turns. Bank clearances show up well and
In nearly all the staple mercantile lines
business seems quite satisfactory. Now
if the croakers will saw wood, and the
more money" men will keep their hands
off and merely look on, we can soon
emerge from the wilderness.

Mayor Raiders veto Of the new saloon
ordinance yesterday may not please the
prohibitionists, but it was none the less
recognition of the fact that as long as
the law recognizes the saloon business.
the rights of those engaged in that occu-
patton must be observed. A law that would
prohibit man engaged in an occupation
for which he pays the city license, from
entering his place of business fol any
purpose between certain hours would
simply be farce. for it would be stove
in by the first judge who listened to a
demurrer to it. The represslve legislation
on this and kindred matters is what the
good people of the city wish, but to en- act
a law that would mark its authors as im-
practicable and put those against whom.it
is directed in the light of being perse
cuted, would simply weaken the cause Of
good order-a cause that must be based
on good law to make the progress that all
wish it to have.

ciples. The remedy for this admitted y
deplorable condition is not to be found in
loud talking. vituperative language or
bitter denunciation of the individuals
who have profited by 1t. but in yielding
obedience to the outraged laws and OBJ
servance of the neglected principles.
1t is unfortunately true that too many
would-be reformers who are probably
honest enough. think it a primary duty
to denounce somebody and ascribe all the
good motives to one class and all the bad
inspi rations to another part OF the peo-
pie.
1t is reasonable presumption that at
least nine-tenths of the men addressed
by Father Ducey would be bloated bond
holders, Standard oil monopolists. or rail-
road kings il the chances to be such could
be afforded them. And very properly and
naturally so. In the vast majority OF in
stances the men who have acquired power
and wealth to an abnormal degree in any
of the important activities of life sprang
from the ranks. And in common with
the masses OF men they utilized the op-
portunities, fair and unfair, as they could
grasp them. and were pushed along and
about by the conflicting and mysterious
forces OF fortune until they attained the
top. Their companions were engaged in
making the same contest and undergoing
similar vicisstudes. but with a less
fortunate outcome. The motives actuat-
ing the latter were different in degree, but
similar in kind, and the methods en-
ployed not so very far apart in character
after all.
1t is undeniable that man is the pro-
duct of his environment, and it is there
fore useless to attempt by direct and posi-
tive action TO alter men. The alteration
must be made in the conditions that in
fluence the energies and shape the ends OF
men. This alteration OF conditions that
have compelled some to be martyrs to
poverty, and enabled others to become
princes OF possessions in world that
beneficent nature obviously intended
should furnish enough for all. is only to
be secured after an intelligent understand
ing of the causes that gave them birth.
That some men have garnered more than
enough by many times, and others in
spite of most strenuous exertions get less
than they need. arises from the fact that
the first have been favored with special
privileges which have developed monop-
olies comforting upon their possessors the
power of extortion. To abolish these
monopolies we must comprehend them;
TO do the latter we must have study and
reason. Tn, last is only to be obtained
in peace and quiet. And the man who
rants and raves and abuses, disturbs peace
and quiet. whether he knows it or not;
he is an enemy to reform and is Ietarding
progress.

And now the silverites are all torn up
over the question as to which wing is to

What is the matter with having double
presidential candidacy? Why should not
two candidates circulate side by side and
maintain a parity, anyhow? Besides,
the silver party will stand a better show
of success, for if doubling the money will
double the wealth of the country. doub-
