The herald., 1897-04-19

In the Los Angeles Herald of Thurs
day last (the 7th) is communication
from Hon. Mrs. E. K. La Barthe, giving
the history of her anti-high theater hat
bill.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. La
Barthe's bill as originally introduced
provided that managers of theaters,
opera houses and places of amusement
should provide suitable rooms for the
placing of such wearing apparel, and
that managers of theaters, opera houses
and places of amusement should be re-
sponsible for the enforcement of this
law, and in case of failure to do so, they
should be subject to a fine of not less
than $40 nor more than 500 for each Of
fense. And that was the proper thing
to do If there was to be any legislation
whatever on the subject.-Salt Lake
Herald.
"A Massachusetts man, a certain Pro-
fessor Bragdon, said formerly to have
been principal of Lasell seminary, is in
Southerp California, and he has been
telling the people there, through the me-
dium of addresses before public meet
ings. that a first-class woman's college
ought to be estab blished, and that there
is none on the Pacific coast at present.
1t would appear that Prof. Bragdon
also that he does not know that the
preference of majority of our young
women is toward studies in co-educa-
tional institution. like Berkeley or Stan
ford We are glad to see that the Los
Angeles Herald takes. the Massachu-
setts man to task and tells him that the
very last thing anyone should undertake
to do, either in Southern California, or
in any part of California, is to start an
nfhar nnllaUa There colleges
a-plenty, and to further increase their
numbers would be public injury.-Oak-
land Enquirer.
Yes, and we are proud to credit Secre-
tary Alger with such prompt activity
(for the flood sufferers). But how
about doing anything for California?
When that gentleman went into office
the specifications and plkns we're
ready. authorized by congress, and re-
ported favorably by the highest au-
thority in the land, with $4,000, 900 back
of 1t appropriated; s290,000 ready for
use, and yet we learn of no step being
taken to carry out the wishes OF the peo-
ple.-San Pedro News.
The Herald's suggestion that electric
street car lines furnish lights at corners
of streets Is one that all good citizens
can endorse.-San Pedro News.
Benjamin Brazeils of ST. Louis, Mo-.
claims that he has solved not only the
problem of the transmutation of metals,
but of the transmutation of clay into
gold, silver, iron and other metals.
If the above is true-and the present
manner of obtaining aluminium points
that way, it will give the intrinsic
value" sage CD a good chance to show
the world what his theory is based upon.
The Los Angeles Herald in COM
menting upon Mr.. Brazelle's discovery.
says: THE metals will have lost
their peculiar value, ard no coinage laws
can restore them. There will be no form
of money possible except the public
credit, and accumulation will be as i'm
possible as it would be to build pyra-
mid of water upon the undulating bosom
of the Pacific ocean. With the destruc-
/ tion of the principle of accumulation.
destitution must soon become a tradi-
| tion. Does this not usher in the millen-
ium?" Good for The Heraht That is
just what the Populists have been try
ing to beat into the heads Of the fool
| voters for, 10, these many years. Well,
why not have a scientific money
| based upon the nations credit. Instead
of upon its debts (whether Mr.. Brazelle
has discovered the secret of making gold
or noD and have the millennium anyhow
If The Herald will dedicate a millennium
page in its valued paper the Populists
will see that 1t is not left blank-Los
| Angeles Review.
