| in his confession that his principal idea
was to provide as many places as he
could for his constituency. the voters in
his ward. Webb controlled, by virtue of
his boss-ship, the employment of labor
ers. He was able to grant the kind of
favors that Adams sought for his con-
stituency. 1t was in this roundabout
way. no doubt, that Adams first fell into
the tolls of the boss of the school board.
But, suppose that Adams had had the
ties of a member of the Board of Educa-
tion and had adhered firmly to that con-
ception in discharging them? He would
not now be disgraced before the commu-
nifty and a criminal in the eyes of the
law. And what have his labors in behalf
of "the people of his ward" availed him?
Right here is a good place to suggest
that so far as is possible the selection
of the Board of Education should be re-
moved from ward partisanship and
spoils influence.

HOW DOES CONSUMPTION
SPREAD ?
HOW

The spread of consumption is a ques-
ton of interest to the entire community.
This fatal disease continues to number
its annual victims by the thousands, and
any fact tending to mitigate it's rigor or
ward off it's attacks should be eagerly
accepted by the people. 1t seems that
little is known by the medical man or
the scientist of the life history of the
tubercle bacillus and it's spores. While
science has shorn smallpox of much of
its terrors; while, all other remedies
failing, the healing touch of frost comes
at last to destroy the spores Of yellow
fever and while even the dreaded hydro
phobia has been made to yield to scien-
tific treatment, consumption still battles
the remedial efforts Of the faculty of
medicine, and remains terrible scourg.e
to the human race. The civilized
and savage alike yield to it's deadly at
tacks and the ''perfumcd chambers OF
the great" are visited by it in common
with the narrow rooms of the hut or cot
tage.

ADVERTISED AT LAST

At4last, after all the pulling and haul
ing, and excusing and shifting and par
leying, that a double shuffler could re-
sort to, Secretary Alger has sent for pub
lcation his advertisement inviting pro-
posals for constructing the government
breakwater at San Pedro. 1t is pub
lisiied this morning by Republican con-
temporary, and will be published tomor-
row:evenihg by another Republican con-
temporary. The Herald being Demo-
cratic. paper, is not asked to assist the
government to find contractors for the
work, and must bear this denial of pat
ronage with such resignation as it may
But there is a fly in the amber of our
Republican contemporaries also. Sec
retary Alger's advertisement makes
only about ten lines in solid nonpariel
type. And that is probably the way he
gets even with the newspapers that have
been lambasting him so vigorously.
somewhere-probably in ST. Louis or
in a Washington newspaper-he no
doubt publishes an extended advertise
ment, giving enough details and speci-
fications to allow would-be contractor
to form some general idea of the work
in contemplation. But Pacific coast
bidders must get along as best they can
Let them go to Washington and get
their preliminary information.
Great man this Secretary Alger! a
noble figure in history! And what
magnificent revenges,
And, by the way, we understand that
he is loaning the government the eight
or ten dollars that it will take to pay for
these advertisements in the Los Angeles
dailies! Or did he find out that there
is eight or ten dollars in the treasury
available for this purpose? What a
generous man is Alger as well as mag
unanimous!

POLITICS AS A CORRUPTOR

What is the influence in politics and
office holding that causes the ruin of so
many men? How many times it has oc-
Cured that men who ranked high in the
estimation of the community in which
they lived, who enjoyed the confidence
and respect of all with whom they came
in contact in business and social circles,
have been unable to withstand the
temptations and unlawful allurements
Of politics and place holding.
There are men who take up politics and
secure office merely as means to an
unlaYful end. They would be dishonest
in any other occupation. Their opportu-
mites or their predictions may have
led them into the political field as one
takes up any business. Such men are
scoVndrels according to their ability, as
they4would be anywhere. They make it
theif avocation to prey off the conmu
nity.
To,hold office is an honorable ambition,
and in a republic like ours, where the
honorsiand emouments of office are con-
ferred through the suffrages of the peo-
pie, where the private citizen of today
may become the public official of tomor-
row. such ambition is quite general, and
properly so. The trouble with many men
Is that they do not have the right idea
of the duties and the responsibilities of
holding.
Take, for. example, the case of Adams
of the Board of Education. He declared

ing in poverty's way:
That along the path of life. for you. shines
not single ray?
Who cares that your tears are falling like
the dreary winter rain;
That your heart is surely breaking under
the ceaseless strain?
Who cares that your dreams are shattered,
and life holds naught that's dear;
That your days and nights seem endless,
and the future looks so drear?
Who cares that you're hourly nursing
despair at your weary breast:
That you'd gladly lay down life's mantle
and seek eternal rest?
Who cares for your trouble and sorrow
your neVar-ending pain;
That in all the years before you. you may
never know pleasure again?
No one! For the world Is selfish and wants
not your grief and pain
Did you cry your woes from the house-top.

The Laurel Spray

The laurel may cling to the lichened wall.
And smile on the poet who dreams
below rs. '"-rft
May garland with blossoms the bastions
tall, .-r
That shadow the dell where the violets
grow; IL,
But to me It would seem but an idle hope
That I. like the laurel in niche so high,
Could ever with drouth and the bare rock
cope.
Nor wither with thirst, and droop and die
Yet the rock is life to the laurel spray.
AS the shadowed bank to the violets fair:
And each will do, in its own sweet way,
The will of the Master who placed them
there
Then choose, II you will. the lone defie
With only a stone for your resting place;
For God will direct your choice the while,
And give to your heart the needed grace
But who shall say If the laurel high
On the barren rock is nearer heaven
Than the perfumed violets. sweet and shy
To whom the lowlier place is given?
There are hearts that the laurel would
never win,
And eyes that would turn from the pur-
pie sod.
Yet each may lure from the ways Of sin
Some soul into paths that lead to God

this disease The bacillus tuberculosis
he says, thrives best in darkness and in
damp places. 'In a cadaver kept in a
zinc box the virus remains active after
three months; eight and half months
later the bacillus can still be seen. but
it is then inactive. In cold running
water the bacillus remains active for
two months. In a lung laid in water 1t
was active after three months. In
sputum it is active after three months.
In dried sputum it usually dies within
two months. The danger of infec-
ton from rooms unoccupied for five or
six months and cleaned after having
been occupied by consumptives. is per-
haps doubtful. But when it is averred
that in a bed on which man died of
tuberculosis, 60 per cent Of the bedbugs
found in it contained virulene bacilli, as
in the case reported, we should be care
full in our conclusions with regard to the
means by which the bacillus may be
preserved and transmitted. A short time
after the death Of the man, in the case
referred to, his brother, sleeping in the
same bed, contracted consumption. and
the disease in his case was attributed to
the bedbugs."
DR.. Malm holds that consumption can
be communicated by inheritance. by in
halation, and by swallowing. He thinks
strangely enough, that swallowing is
the usual mode of infection. AS to this,
DR.. Malm says that investigations by
the English tuberculaY commission and
the Agricultural society of Massachu-
setts, give sufficient proof of the danger
from milk from tuberculous cows, even |
if the udder is not affected. Children es-
pecially contract consumption through |
the mouth and stomach
These are most important facts. They |
prove the absolute necessity of the
strictest supervision over all articles OF |
food and drink. 1t proves the wisdom
Of having boards of health composed of
wide awake, intelligent. honest physi-
clans, who will not be imposed upon by |
rascally dealers in food products. Only |
by such means can we hope to avoid |
the deadly virus of consumption. In this
particular, eternal vigilance is the price
of health and even of life.

NO MORE WRINKLES OR SALLOW
CHEEKS

Scientific circles have been recently
ton by the famous electrician. Nikola
Tesla, which. If possessing the virtues
claimed for it, would preclude further
effort to discover the lost fountain of
youth. 1t consists of device-an cleo
trio chair-for removing by electricity
microbes and disease germs generally
from the human body. The effect of this.
1t is said, would be marvellous in trans
forming old age to youth. wrinkles and
sallowness to bloom and beauty. The
New York World grows enthusiastic in
its description of Tesla's magic prescrip-
ton. Speaking of the wonders to be
wrought thereby, that paper says:
So far as external appearance goes.
there will be no more old men and old
women if thesuse Of thisselectrc chair
becomes general. Every one will so

ward appearance of blooming youth
There will be no more wrinkles no moro
sallow cheeks, no more hideous alpine
tvs brow. Every man and woman may
at will enjoy the appearance of youth.
1t is like the tabled spring Of Ponce de
Leon.
OF course Electricity, with an evident
tinge of jealousy, be it said. character
ICES the Worlds rapturous deductions
as a sample of exaggerated nonsense"
but even Electricity comedies merit
enough in Mr.. Tesla's new electric nos
trum to warrant the expectation of great
hygienic results from it's use. Mr.. Tes-
las theory is. says the last named jour-
nal, that two, bodies charged with the
same kind of electricity repel one an
other. By charging the surface of the
human body with static electricity the
invisible microbes collected thereon will
become similarly charged and will con-
sequently be thrown off. He further
proposes to supplement this treatment.
by bathing the body in some disin-
fectant and by mild form of massage"
Now, by this treatment we get rid of the
microbes and, logically, of the disease
communicated by them to the human
body, and why not regain the external
bloom
THE smoothness and the sheen of
beauty's cheek
whose loss was due solely to the mi
crobes aforesaid? The proposition seems
logical enough.
