Like wolf i'm the fold, 50 thew tell rs.
Like waves ofa turbulent SEA,
Came the might of the Lord on the Syrian
When he trampled near sw ret Galilce.
When morning rolled back her dark curtain
The pride of the evening before
Was beat to the plain and lay scattered,
Like cha # on the granary floor.
And 50, when You gaze, all the spirit
Seems drunk from the eyes that meet yours.
Aud the white flag Of truce Is Upifted
And the battle Is done with the cause.
For with aid and abettor sly Cupid,
Though you need him not in your pay.
Poor creatures like us must surrender
And own you the Queen Of the fray
But the fault that | find with your tactics.
Cnwarlike, know, you'll admit.
The captiyes Won take in the battle
You always release. let adrin.
Yet | cling TO the hand that >mote Inc,
worship those lips that have scorned.
As the night that is baniShed and broken
Must bow to the day that has dawned
TO keep me prisoner, near thee
To answer at call and command.
No banquet were sweet then to tempt me.
If prison-fare came from thy hand.

THE FALLACY OF SUPPRES'
SING NEWS

1
The non wisdom of the police authori-
ties in suppressing news has just been
beautifully exploited. Last Sunday a
we'll known visitor from Indiana had the
misfortune to lose on a Westlake park
car a valuable diamond. The police at
once started to catch the thief and took
especial pains to keep the news of the
occurrence from the press.
What was the consequence. The slick
thieves contrived to escape the vigilance
of the police department. the public was
not warned that such dangerous gentry
were abroad and eight citizens were re-
lieved of valuable jewelry on the San
Pedro excursion yesterday.
There is no doubt that occasions arise
when the authorities are entirely justi-
fed in Withholding information from
reporter, but when, as in this instance,
the assistance of the press would have
been a distinct aid to the protection of
the public, such official silence seems
stupendous folly.
The police were aware that gang of
diamond thieves had been operating
at the San Diego carnival and would
probably make Los Angeles a profita-
Bile stopping place on their way to the
pugilistic panjandrum at Carson, Ne
vada. They simply failed in their duty
to protect the public by suppressing
the facts of Sundays robbery. Had the
public known that such gang was op-
Grating in this city, citizens would have
left their diamonds at home yesterday.
The Herald has no desire to dictate to
the chief of police, who is thoroughly
efficient and deservedly honored officer,
but we do believe that in the majority
of criminal cases it is fallacy to sup
press news.
If man commits a murder or rob-
berry his guilty conscience and the fear
of consequences will in nine cases out
of ten drive him from the scene at his
speediest gait. and the publication of
the news can in no wise interfere with
his capture. If he does not lev7nt the
public should be warned of him.
The press may frequently be of valua-
BILE aid TO the police in the protection
Of the public, which after all is OF even
more Importance than the actual cap
ture OF criminals. Detectives, however,
are prone to think otherwise, and it is
to be hoped that yesterdays occurrence

Spain Stranded Again

It looks as If the treasury of Spain
were going down for the third and last
time
The popular" loan of $50, ,000,0 900 raised
last fall has been exhausted, and where
is the next lift coming from? The last
much -heralded Offering of patriotism
was largely wrung from the banks and
bankers by processes that are not likely
to be repeated.
Since the insurrection began money
has been raised in Cuba by devices in
the way of forced loans that even the
most firmly intrenched despots have sell
dom dared to resort to. Weyler issued
$40. 900, 900 in paper money, under the
threat that whoever refused to take 1t
should be peremptorily locked up and
kept in prison.
Forcing the people to take green
goods in exchange for solid values can
be made to go at prison doors and at
the point of the bayonet but the limit
must finally be reached. Spain has gone
ashore financially and it is most un-
likely that she can ever again score q
popular outburst" or pad Cuban credit
with any more worthless paper.
No wonder her rulers. who understand
the desperate financial straits in which
the kingdom finds Itself, are adopting
a concliatory course.
They have no relish for more war
particularly war with the United States.
What could that mean to Spain but
financial ruin and national hum.iia-
ton ?-Boston Globe.

tiorseiess Ash Wagons

The motor cart has fonud very ap-

to be used by the dustman. The collec-
tion of dustbin refuse is one of the most
unpleasant features of suburban econo-
my-a survival of methods of dirt ana
soualor which distinguished what we
discontented moderns call the good old
times" The district council of Chiswick
Is determined to abolish the high piled
loads of garbage, the dilatory proceed
ings and extravaganza of the dust con-
tractor-the form of middleman we can
perhaps best dispense with-at DloW.
To this end it has commissioned the
Steam Wagon and Carriage company
of Chiswick to build couple OF steam
propelled motor carts, which nave peen
designed by J. l. Thornycroft. The ar,
rangement will be that of tip cart, and
provision will be made for preventing
The vehicles from presenting the usual
offensiye spectacle of ordinary dust
carts when passing through the streets
"a matter Of no small importance, es-
pecially in windy weather. The steam
carts are to cost $3.50 each and in the dis
cussion on the financial bearing or the
change some interesting facts came to
light.
Under the contracting. system the cost
of the work has been increasing contin-
uously. and for the next year an addition
of about 25 per cent was asked by the
contractors. BY purchasing the two
motor carts, and spreading the payment
over a period of three years, there Will
be an actual saving of $3.50 year for the
three years and when the first cost has
been liuuidated. the saving VIII be $25O

THE INSULAR PROTEST

The present seems to be an era of uni
resisting the ambitious efforts of Japan
TO compass its civilization. The island
of Cuba and the PHILIPPINES are gradu-
ally but surely passing from under the
control of Spain, and lastly comes the
Cretan uprising against the only other
governmental prototype of Spain, the
grand Turk himself. The coercing gov
ernments in these struggles with their
insular dependencies may learn lesson
by the perusal of the popular comment
of the civilized world. This sentiment
recognizes that the success of the Jap
anese in Formosa is an assurance of q
higher civilization to be established
there and the general betterment of the
Inhabitants, and Japan has, according
ly, the sympathy of the civilized world
in her difficult task.
But with Turkey and Spain it is alto
gether different. These task-masters
come with the collar for the slave in
one hand and the most improved instru-
ment of death in the other, and revel in
the destruction of every good and beau
tiful thing that adorns the fairest spots
of the earth. How thoroughly their
policy and purposes are understood and
how universally their methods are ex-
ecrated by every human sentiment, they
may learn wherever language is written.
sympathy, they have none, and whether
it be Turkey or Spain, she has all of that
which she deserves, in having none.
They have alike forgotten or ceased to
regard the fact that there is a danger
line in the Indulgence of the luxury of
robbery, although the victim be a sub
ject and the robber a sovereign.
The freedom of Crete is theoretical
fact that will soon assume the practical
aspect, and as for Cuba and the Philli-
pines, they have demonstrated the fac;
that they cannot be reconquered by any
power that Spain can command. The
robber industry of medieval times is
about to finally perish with the over
throw of these, its last surviving ex-
empiars

If capitalists will now undertake

would not otherwise put in motion un-
