FIESTA SEATS

The Fiesta committee has done the
correct thing in deciding to give sub
scribers to the Fiesta fund the first
choice of seats on the tr,bunes. The
people who have gone down into their
pockets or drawn on their bank ac-
counts for the wherewithal to make of
the coming festival the great SUCCESS
it promises to be should certainly be
given the preference in the selection of
places from which to view the pageant
that will be the fruit of their enter
prise and liberality. 1t is to be hoped
that the prices fixed for the seats
will be reasonable-be popular
so that all may be taken. The
prices asked for seats on the structure
that surrounded Central park last year
were altogether unreasonable, fact
that was testified to by the paucity of
the patronage bestowed on them. Dur
ing the reviews of the professions at
the park thousands of people surged
around the enclosure and vainly en-
deavored to catch glimpse, through
cracks and knot holes, of the pagsantry
as it was reviewed by the queen, and
all the while great majority Of the
seats inside the fence were unoccupied.
The price set exceeded the limit of
popular economy. The present COM
mittee should aim to avoid so serious
mistake. The continuance of
the Fiesta on scale commensurate
with the growing Importance of Los
Angeles will largely depend on the
sympathy and support of the masses.
II the latter can be enlisted in behalf
of the cause the celebration can, within
a few years, become q gigantic and
most brilliant affair unexcelled by
anything that has yet appeared during
either the carnival festivities at New
Orleans or the Yelled Prophets display
at st. Louis, magnificent as these fetes
are. To insure this sympathy and sup
port from the people in general popu-
lar enjoyment Of all that there is to
Fiesta must be made easy.

Otis Fight Off

The Fresno Republican thinks Colonel
Otis of the Los Angeles Times is better
fitted for the position of secretary of war
than for that of secretary of agriculture.
and asks "Does the Mail know Colonel
Ots"' We does-that is. we do; and that
is why we say now that the Mail is right
and the Republican wrong. Colonel Otis
for secretary of war? Perish the thought !!
We never knew a meekef. more modest
and more humane man than Colonel Otis.
All the bltster, bombast and blood you see
in the editorial columns of the Times is
put there with ,he special purpose of hid.
ing the colonel's true character. Why. if
the people knew him as he is-tender,
merciful, considerate. retiring and mod
est in speech-he would be the worst
imposed upon man in the three
Americas. The love-iight never leaves
his glorious orbs, the smile of indulgence
forever arches his ruby lips, the glad hand
hangs high from his alabaster wrist, and
his words (ih private life) are as The jew
els that ripple from the mouth of the fairy
tale princess. He would not hurt flea !!
Indeed, there is well authenticated stoty
that he had at one time as many as three
fleas industriously chewing away OH the
small of his back and yet refrained from
disturbing their repast. Still the Republic
can would have the colonel made secretary
of war. The Mail repeats that if the Re-
publicans win, Colonel Otis must be made
secretary of agriculture. Surrounded by
cahbages, gllly-nowers and garden SASS.
and distributing seed to the clamorous
statesmen, he would be fit subject for
the cameras of the world-Stockton Mail

country. 1t not only suggests grave ques-
tions about the fundamental national drifts
of the times, but affords no satisfactory
hope of the wise or early settlement of
the questions on which trade and finance
are now directly dependent. In fact, men
of affairs begin to feel that the large inter-
ests of the country-prodLction commerce
and investment-are all at sea. seri-
ously large number of the men entrusted
with the helm of affairs have converted
the legislative halls into an arena of selfish
struggle, where personal and sectional in
terests outweigh great national interests
and defy the public will.
1t is this condition of things which now
holds under spell the vast interests CEN
tered in Wall street and is restraining the
whole enterprise of the country. AS there
is no longer any hope of congress accom-
plishing anything towards u wise settle-
ment of the currency question, nor of any
other useful legislation being adopted, the
public are becoming anxious for this ad.
journment. In that case. the wicked would
at least cease from troubling, and there
would be rest for the country, wearied of
legislative trafficking and trifing. 1t is
worth consideration by leaders of conserv-
atve sentiment whether it would not ma
terially conduce to the recovery of nation
al confidence to encourage the expression
OF public desire that congress will adj
journ at the earliest possible day. So far
as respects this center, such action would
meet with universal endorsement.

"PAPA" Kingery says he believes "the
majority should rule" The majority
should rule, indeed, as to methods, but
not as to rights. Rights are not made
by maiorities, but are born with the
individual. Governments are insti-
tuted for the purpose Of protecting in
dividuals in those rights, and of neces-
sity the ways and means by which the
government may perform its essential
function must be decided by the great
est and not the least number of people.
The authority of msjorities is sadly
misunderstood by some folks. There
never existed more mistaken idea
than the one that majorities have the
right to do as they please about all
things.

considers the most critical in their whole

He advocated outdoor exercise. princi-

unattainable by any gymnasium work.
Bicycle riding he considered undesirable

he believed four miles bic Gle riding were

Five hours for exercise. seven for work,
four for leisure and eight for sleep were
