THE PROSPERITY THEY BRING
US

We are having somewhat of a surfeit
Of jubilation about great wave of pros
perity alleged to be spreading all over
the country. We propose to have a WORD
from our point of view about prosper
ity that is and that might be.
The inscrutable workings of divine
providence have so ordered It that
million wretched beings shall perish of
famine in India, and that the people of
Australia ard Argentina, while not in
the throes of famine, shall lose most of
their crops by reason of two years of
drought. Similar dispersations cut off
much of the crops in other countries for
which poor peasants toiled and watched
in vain. Because of all this the prices
of our products rise, and in the face of
all the dire hardships suffered by many
millions of our brethren, the disciples OF
Mark Hanna and Tom Plat rise up
with foolish and most impertinent re-
iteration and talk about this prosperity
as If it were thing of joy, untempered
our brethren in other lands, and as if
the thing was all OF their planning, or
dering and making. They had no more
hand in it tina n they had in the Noachian
deluge or in the seven years Of plenty in
Egypt.
There is a program Of prosperity, ar
ranged beforehand for Mr. Mckinley
and his subordinates, the carrying out of
which would bring prosperity in un-
bounded measure to us, but they do not
seem in much hurry to set this tide ris-
ing. The people of Southern California
would feel most grateful to the Advance
Agent if he could only get or a little
more movement than messenger boy
or the spigot OF a molasses barrel in a
Klondike winter. Army engineers
one after another, have recommended,
that the work be done. Congress. act
ing for the people of the United States
nd in the interests of the commerce Of
the world, have ordered the work done

to CO what they told him to do The
attorney-gener was called in to inter-
pret the ing of the word "yes." On
top of this comes another intelligent un-
biased and far-seeing board of commits
sioners and says that in addition to the
harbor at San Pedro there ought to be
dock, and recommends that 81, SOC, ,0C0 be
appropriated for this additional work.
Here are $45OO,OOO which might be
spent in improvements upon our har-
Dor. There would follow the compile
ton of this work another overland rail-
road to this point, opening up vast
tract of country rich in agricultural re-
sources and in mineral wealth.
The expenditure of this money would
cause the city of Los Angeles to double
in population in five years. 1t would
add thousands of settlers to all parts of
the section. 1t would provide the
home market for most of our products
The prosperity would be tida, wave,
and its effects would be lasting. While
the work was ordered before the great
advance agent was crowned, and while
the peoples money would pay for it, we
would all feel a warm gratitude to the
adm1istra ton for doing its duty, in
stead of the very justifiable hostility
we now feel at the long delay from which
we suffer. The prosperity creator has
sat in office for seven months Many
interests langush while this work is de-
.ayed which would take on new life
and vgor if it We're urder way.
How much better it would be to stop
this foolish clamor and unseemly jubi-
,ation over a thing you have nothing to
do with, and which calls for chastened
Thanksgiving that we are spared .the
misery others suffer, and do your duty to
the people of the whole country by MAX
ing necessary improvements and obey
ing the laws passed by the chosen repre-
sentatives of the people. Dscency G.e-
mands cessation of all this prosperity

,ect of the peoples interests.

ABOUT A "HOSS" SALE

E. W. Noyes, an auctioneer, writes to
The Herald that a recent report of Mr.
Potter's "hoss" sale in the columns Of
The Herald was somewhat at fault. It
was stated that the sale was conducted
by Assistant Fire Chief Ed Smith. This,
Mr. Noyes declares, was "a most damn
able lye." The sale, he says, was III
charge of himself (Noyes), and he was
assisted by Smith. The Herald's mis-
take was evidently in getting Smiths
cart before Potter's hoss (sale). If this
constituted "damnable lye," why, then
Mr.. Noyes is prepared to make the
most Of it. 1t was not on intentional
mistake-merely the accident of the. mo-
ment, SO to speak. 1t was not damnabls
(unless damned by Noyes). and it was
not ''lye." 1t was not even potash.

and hastens to correct it. The mex,

A VICTORY FOR THE "SHIFTY
EIGHT"

The scene has shifted again and the
"shifty eight" supervisors of San Fran
cisco, who were ousted a few days ago
by the decision Of Judge Wallace, are
again on top. The state supreme court
has passed on the tax levies submitted
by the ousted and the newly appointed
boards, respectively, and has granted
a writ of mandate ordering the state
auditor to recognize the levy adopted by
the ousted supervisors. This is equiva-
lent to reinstating them.
The supreme court was practically
unanimous in its decision, which was
doubtless dominated by the points Of
law involved. Aside from this feature
the result is a disappointment. This
was the case where the board of super
visors was proceeded against because
it had not fixed a new schedule of water
rates in accordance with the provisions
of the law. Ip failing to do this the
board defied not only the law, but public
opinion.
The decision Of Judge Wallace, GUST
ing the board for malfeasance in office
in refusing to fix the water rates, was
heartily applauded by the people gen
orally 1t was looked upon as a warning
to public officials that they could not
neglect or refuse to carry out the law
as prescribed ir their official duties, with
impunty. 1t was regarded as a Motif
cation that public officials who served
private interests at the expense of the
public must suffer punishment therefor.
The decision of the supreme court has
upset all this and destroyed the salutary
effect of Judge Wallace's decision. II
is not fair to presume that the supreme
courts decision is based upon anything
but the law points involved, but it will
have an unfortunate result 1t must be
regarded as another case where the law
has served to prevent the operation Of
justice.

THE MURDERER's DODGE

Condemned murderer Ebanks, late Of
San Diego. has, through his attorneys,
appealed to the federal supreme court
In his effort to escape the gallows This
makes five condemned murderers In the
state OF California who are playing a
hide and seek game with justice through
the agency Of the United States supreme
court. Durrant established the prece-
dent, quickly followed by Worden ct al,
and now Ebanks.
AS in the case Of the other condemned
men, Ebanks had had a fair trial. He
was found guilty and the state supreme
court affirmed the decision of the. lower
court, from which Ebanks had appealed.
Judge Torrance Of San Diego then re-
sentenced the man to be hung in eight
days time. His attorneys claimed. that
sixty days must be allowed before the
sentence could be legally carried out,
and appealed to the state supreme court
once more. They got no satisfaction,
and now the federal supreme court has
been made party to the final result.
What a farce it all is! Nobody doubts
Ebanks' guilt. The whole business is
simply scheme of attorneys to gain
little time. 1t is part of the new
custom that is fast becoming a menac-
ing evil of using the law to protect the
criminal rather than to punish him or to
secure justice for the innocent. Ii
brings the law into grave disrepute.
1t encourages crime by leading crimi
nails to believe that the law is powerless
to punish them.
1t is impossible, of course, to say what
the supreme court will do, but it would
be unfortunate, indeed, if it shoulI
leave open the loophole that criminal
lawyers have found for the protection
of their clients.

they may be given the maximum of po-
