ABOUT THE HERALD



The Los Angeles Herald offers q town
lot in Lancaster. this county, to each
new subscriber to its daily edition, and
it has been severely criticised for the
proposition. We don't need to defend
The Herald, for it can take care OF itsel.,
but Lancaster is a town of several hun
dred people, good schools, post and ex-
press Offices, newspaper, stores, shops
and two passenger trains each way every
day. 1t is in a valley that produces the
best of wheat, fine vegetables, fruits, etc.
Now some OF the critics of The Herald
are bellttling the valley by declaring it
subject to intolerable desert winds and
that its chief products are coyotes and
cactus. Hundreds of men, women and
children are making their homes at or
near Lancaster. For this pioneer work
they should receive nothing but kind
words and encouragement. Only men
who are indifferent to the welfare of
honest toilers would say aught to depre-
ciate the value of their property or dis
courage them in improving it. Arizona
used to be criticised in the same despica-
BILE way, out that territory has grown de-
spite such malicious or ignorant ISLANDERS,
and so will Antelope valley and incident
ally so will Lancaster.-Po ona Times.

THB SONG | NEVER SING

AS when in dreams we sometimes hear
A melody so faint and fine,
And muslcally sweet and clear,
1t f1avors all the atmosphere
With harmony divine!
So, often IN my waking dreams,
| hear melody that seems
Like fairy voices whispering
To me the song l never sing.
Sometimes when bTooding DER the years
My lavish youth has thrown away,
When all the glowing past appears
But as mirage that my tears
Have crum bled to decay
l thrill to find the ache and pain
OF my remGrse is stilled again,
AS, forward bent and listening,
I hear the song | never sing.
E murmuring of rythmic words,
Adrift on tunes whose currents flow
Melodious with the tril of birds,
And far-off lowing of the herds
In lands of long ago;
And every sound the truant loves
Comes to me like the cooling of doves,
When first in blooming fields of spring
l heard the song l mover sing.
The echoes of old voices, wound
In limpid streams of laughter where
The river Time runs bubolp-crowned,
And giddy eddies ripple round
The lilies growing there:
Where roses bending FER the brink,
Drain their own kisses as they drink,
And ivies Irvine and climb and cling
About the song l never sing.
An ocean-surge of sound that falls
AS though tide of heavenly art
Had mpested the cleaning halls
And crested o er the golden walls
In showers upon my heart,
Thus. thus, with open arms and eyes
Uplifted toward the alien skies,
Forgetting every earthly thing,
| hear the song | never sing.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE CON-
VENTION

The movement to secure the next Ma
tional Republican convention for San
Francisco gathers force and funds in that
city and is receiving the hearty approval
of the press of the state irrespective of
party, as the mighty Importance to the
material interests of California, of gath
ering the clans of National Repu blican 8
at the states chief city, unfolds to the
popular mind. The contributions to the
convention fund nearly aggregate $50, 900,
although but a few days have elapsed
since the work of soliciting financial SUP
port commenced.
Although this convention will be par
tisan affair strictly, the siderations
which call for support OF the project to
assemble 1t in San Francisco far out-class
tn ose of partisan nature.
As we have said before the convent ion
will be represen tative in many respects
other than the partisan and 1t m erits
CALIFORNIA; lively consideration because
of its represen tative capacity in those
other respects.
We have treated to an extended degree
heretofore, of the inestimable resultant
good to the west of having so large
number of men influential in the shaping
and enactment of legislative and execu-
tive laws and policies, become through
personal observation. acquainted to a
measurable extent with the character. de-
velopment and resources of a section so
little known to tn EN-.
The multitude of delegates, alternates
attaches and interested individuals who
make the volume of convention attend
ance will EN- brace scores, if not hundreds,
of gentlemen representing in their per-
sons the enterprise and wealth of the
country. 1t is to this class we desire to
exhi bit the pros poets and the possibilities
of the Golden state.
To such assem- blages as the Knights
Temp conclave and the encampm ent
OF the Grand Army of the Republic the
whole wealth is debted for
lions of its most active and effective api-
tai.
The convention would prove equally
good as a medium for placing before the
balance of the union the wonderful ad-
vantages and attractions of California
As the entire state can Justly expect to
Darticipa in the benefits of the scheme
the burden of carrying it out cannot in
equity and policy be left to San F ram
cisco. More especially it can be said that
the most populous and prosperous part OF
the state-that south OF Tehachepi-can
not afford to have San Francisco monop
olize the management.
If Southern California will share in the
work and expense OF securing and main
tanning the convention, it can properly
ask and will doubtless be acceded fair
representation in the entertainment of
those who attend, ana thus secure d
representation of the interests of this
section in way that will do them the
most good.
As constant advocate of the welfare
Of California in general, and that of
Southern California in particular, The
Herald takes the liberty of urging on
those organized bodies which have done
30 much to promote our prosperity-the
chamber OF com mecre, the board Of trade

While the overwhelming generosity,
generated by intense rivalry of the local
undertakes in offering to furnish modern
ambulances and comfortable up-to-date
morgues, is commendable and worthy
wa.m appreciation by the people, the
safest and most sensible thing for this
municipality to do is to keep facilities
that are essentially public outside of
private control. This city is large and
prosperous enough to own whatever am
balances and Lighthouses it needs.
Mixed public and private control is in
variably productive OF dissatisfaction,
and sometimes results good deal more
seriously than that.

BEYOND THE PURPLE MOUNTAINS
Written for The Herald.

Written for The Herald.
Beyond the purple mountains
There lies land, land most wondrous
fair;
Soft breezes set myriad roses swaylng.
The birds sing peans of gladness for their
praying.
Why linger we, in sorrow here delaying
There comes no night of darkness and
despair
Beyond the purple mountains.
Over the purple mountains,
Into that goodly land, we may not go;
Nor even gaze too long, lest faint with
yearning,
Balck to the deserts of the old world
turning,
We have no power to check the hot tears
burning
And there are tears enough, dear God, we
know
This side the purple mountains.

One Of the most prosperous newspaper
institutions on the Pacific coast today is
the Los Angeles Herald. Within eighteen
months that journal has grown from a
prosy eight-page paper to progressive
and modern newspaper of from twelve
to twehty-four-pages daily issue. For
long time the Herald was under cloud,
being grossly mismanaged. The present
business manager, ALI D. Bowen, is a
practical, experienced and successful jour
nalist, and the Los Angeles Herald is
forging TO the foreground with a pace
that is gratifying to the Democracy of
Southern California. A magnificent new
HJe press has been ordered by the Herald
company, for immediate shipment and
Linotype machines will be stalled at an

The Call doesn't do things by halves
Some time ago it promised TO give $4,000

Yesterday 1t made good its promise. This
amount is in striking contrast with the
paltry $1,000 contributed by the Exam-
ner. The Chronicle, we observe, has
gone both the Call and the Examiner one
better. 1t announces that 1t will give
$500. The Examiner ought to give at

INCAPABLE OF IMPeRsoNALITY.
An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
Woman's Emancipation.


Woman's Emancipation.
The bond of fellowship which exists
between man and man simply by virtue
of a common sex is entirely absent be-
tween woman and woman. 1t is, in
fact, replaced by fundamental antago-
nism, vague enmity which renders
the general attitude Of feminine crea-
ture toward her kind essentially differ
ent from that of the male creature in
identical relations. In individual cases
this feeling is counteracted by affection
or by sympathy, but apart from person.
nj sentiment it remains, severing every
living woman from the rest of her sex.
To great extent this arises from wom-
ans incapacity for impersonal feeling or
abstract emotion. In life's fray she
fights either for her own hand or, moro
often, for some one man or woman
whom she loves, but rarely for the vel
fare of her sex at large.
Were it not for this strange lack OF hui
manity in her nature, the emancipation
Of woman would not have been SO griev
ously retarded. If the few women who
suffered aforetime under the restrictions
which hedged in their liberty had been
able to count ON the sympathy and CO.
operation of all women, the time Of
their subiugation would have been enor-
mously abbreviated As it was, the first
seekers after freedom met with more
opposition from their own sex than they
did from the other nor, indeed. do they
fare better today. Enormous changes
in their social status were effected by
an inconsiderable minority Of women
bravo enough and logical enough to inn
press the male powers that be with the
justice of their demands. But for their
courage they received no sympathy and
for their success not one word of thanks
nothing, in fact, but execration from
the hugo inert feminine mass in whose
service their strength was spent. Sat

Blisters.

A surgeon in the English army has
found that the best way to treat blisters
on the feet is to insert the point of a
needle or other puncturing instrument
in the sound skin about eighth of an
inch beyond the edge of the blister.
Then pass the needle horizontally into
the blister, and if raised the liquid will
run out beneath. When the raised outer
skin only is pricked, it is apt to be sore
and troublesome After the liquid has
disappeared flatten the blister and cover
it with absorbent cotton or something
equally soft. Persons who have to be
on their feet much of the time or those
obliged to walk great deal will find it
a relief to change the shoes every other
day and the stockings each morning
