Will the Editor please give us (the

in the announcement of the school meet

the voting of women for trustees ? THE

can be voted for for trustees. A rather
anomalous position, but according to
New Jersey law as interpreted by the
late Chief Justice Beasley.-ED.1

UP-TO.DATE PSALM OF LIFE.

Stop yer kickin' bout the times,
Get hustle on you;
Skirmish round and grab the dimes
Eff the dollars shun you.
Croakin' never bought a dress,
Growlin' isn't in it;
Fix your peppers on success,
Then 90 in to win it.
Times is gittin' good agin-
Try to help them all you kin.
Don't set round with hangin' lip,
That is sure to floor you;
Try to get better grip
On the work before you.
Put some ginger in yer words
When yer greet a neighbor;
Throw yer troubles to the birds,
Git right down and labor,
An you'll notice every day
Things a-comin' right your way.
Stop yer kickin', get hold
On the wheel and turn it;
You kin never handle gold
Less yer try to earn it.
Brush the cobwebs from yer eyes,
Stop yer durn repinin',
An you'll notice that yer skies,
Allus'll be shinin'.
If you hain't the nerve to try,
Sneak away sOmewheres an die.

The impotent result of graceless
few among those society dawdlers who
have reviled me, even from beyond the
grave, for using my own honest en-
deavors to prevent myself from sink
ing under the burdens of temptations
and misery to which was subject by
my associations with them-and from
which through work 1 escaped-are,
as the Arabs say of curses, "Like
young chickens and always come home
to roost."
As for temptation" Mr.. Editor, at
work" there is none. In "idleness"
there are many. But there are no
temptations anywhere to a good wo-
man-by good do not mean woman
who parades a big red-leaved prayer
book down Fifth avenue on Sunday,
and whose relationship to doing or
thinking good or being so, is no more
than a family one to an empty title
that carries by custom the supposition
of goodness with it. A life of idle
society dawdling is dangerous - far
more dangerous than a life like mine,
of work.
There are good and bad of every
class, from bishops to ballot girls. AS
there are some bishops better than
some ballet girls, so there are some
ballet girls who are better than some
bishops-but this is not the @. E. D.
of our argument.
Any one who goes around the world
looking for temptations can find
many; but if you don't seek for them
few fall in your path. This is more
sure if a woman has self-respect.
Work puts woman beyond the
necessity of asking favors-makes her
independent-and independence is a
great destroyer of temptation. La
borare est orare. Labor is the prayer
that protects women.

THERE is in Boston minister called
Rev. Joseph Brown. In a recent talk
in church he uttered the following
REASONABLE sentiments: "I say come
on with your schemes of confscation,
and graduated income taxes, and ire
deemable currency under universal
suffrage, and proclaiming the doc
trine of the ringleaders; then, under
military necessity and even here in
the United States we must get rid of
universal suffrage, and we shall.
Rather than allow these things, we
will have one of the fiercest civil wars" !"
1t is such preaching as that which
has driven conscientious followers of
the Meek and Lowly One from the
house of God. A large majority of
clergymen seem more intent upon
paying court to Mammon than preach
ing the religion of Christ. Is it
strange that one of these purblind
zealouts should declare the city of
Seattle doomed when judged by its
church attendance?

AN American geography printed in
1872 contains this interesting informa-
ton: California is wild and almost
unknown land, covered throughout
the year by dense fogs, as damp as
they are unhealthful. On the north
ern shores live anthropohagi and in
the interior are active volcanoes and
vast plains of shifting snow, which
sometimes shoot up columns to incon-
ceivable heights" The book adds
that some OF these statements would
seem incredible were they not so we'll

Honey Bees Capture a Ship.

Another exemplifcation of the ad-
age "GO from home for the news" is
afforded by an excerpt from a paper
published way down in Maine, the Me-
chias Republican, which solemnly af-
firms that the bark Shirley, which has
carried millions of feet of lumber on
the Pacific coast, is now lying in Quar-
termaster Harbor with q fine cargo of
honey aboard. 1t says:
Her owners lately decided to put
her in the Klondike service and sent q
force of men over to Quartermaster to
get her ready for repairs. These men
report that the ship had been occupied
by honey bees and on going aboard
they found every passage-way and
stateroom was full of bees: "We
shut the hatchways," said one of the
party, "and thought we had them
imprisoned, but we found q steady
stream going and coming through the
hole left for stovepipe in the cabin.
We were on board thirty minutes, and
in that time the column of bees con-
tinued to move, making noise like
escaping steam. We were unable to
work on board until something should
be done. We lowered into the hull q
tank of burning cedar bark and closed
up everything. A great many of the
bees were killed, but we were unable
to 60 into the bark the next day.
Some think she may contain ton of
honey or even more"

LETus Have THE BOULEVARD

Los Angeles is certainly to be congrat-
ulated in having two such organizations
as the chamber of commerce and the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton. The latter is of somewhat recent
organization, but is winning it's spurs
bravely. The home products exhibition
recently given under its auspices did a
great deal of good, and the raising Of
over $4,000 by private subscription to
be used in giving employment to the
needy and incidentally to construct a
fine roadway through the Elysian park
is an achievement larger city might
we'll be proud of. In San Francisco,
with three times our population. it has
taken twice as much time and effort to
get half as much money for similar
purpose
Now this association, with true scrip
tural principles as its guide, shows that
it is not weary in well doing. but has set
out to raise a similar subscription for
the purpose Of building boulevard TO
Pasadena. This will draw the enterpris-
ing people of the beautiful city on the
crown of the valley into close sympathy
and community of action with those of
Los Angeles, and such team will ac-
complish great results.
The money already in sight for the
park boulevard ought to build q road to
Los Feliz hills or Griffith park. perhaps
around those heights and back. With
nine or ten miles of similar roads fol-
lowing the contour of the hills along the
Arroyo Seco the s.tractiveness of this
section would be very greatly en-
hanced.
BY all means let the good work go on,
and let it not stop here.

now sent to foreign countries for sugar.
This may seem like strong statement.
but when we consider the fact that there
is in one body tract of land along the
Colorado river in Riverside and San
Diego counties amounting to over 1,o00,-
900 acres. and that strong company
has recently been formed in the east tn
reclaim these lands by taking an i'm
mense canal of water out of the Colo
rado river, and that these lands. wher
reclaimed, will grow the sugar beet
to perfection, and that the capital is now
ready to commence the erection Of beet
sugar factories in that section as soon
as they shall be required, 1t will be seen
that the beet sugar question can be
practically solved in that one great val
ley-a valley that is liable to become
one of the richest in Southern California.
We can show that some of the riches,
mines on the Pacific coast are being de-
veloped south of Tehachepi, and that
our resources are varied and expensive.
With such a showing as this can we
not afford to place the facts before our
eastern visitors, and not depend on other
portions of the state to do that work
for us?

LEGISLATIVE SCANDALS

1t seems to be generally expected that
take the trouble to explain away a few
of the more atrocious charges against its
methods OF course the honorable mem
bers who are accused of receiving bribes
are innocent Every one is innocent un-
til his guilt is established. But under
a system like ours, wherein the Scotch
verdict of mot proven" is not recog-
nized, people are very apt to consider
case pretty we'll proven which is sup
ported by written evidence-telegrams
for example-the doubtful language Of
which has not been explained.
Then. too, the persecution of men by
the accused for refusing to answer ir-
relevant questions, was injudicious.
This act of petty tyranny does not in
any degree lessen the force Of the ac-
cusation, but it does furnish the ma
terial for a supposed diversion from the
main question. But that is false reas-
OlluS. 1HtTt htIc tClS6i oiAio a. oiiobiSs
and the accused had the power to order
them to be brought in. but they were
not produced nor demanded, and this
evasion is sought to be obscured by
seeking to imprison men who refused to
give the names of the persons who told
them of the existence Of these kilograms
This shows a lack Of sincerity. and
comes dangerously near to the force of
general verdict 1t does not strengthen
the case that the supreme court has sus-
tanned the contempt proceeding. 1t
could not do otherwise on habeas corpus.
Then comes the coyote scalp bill. At
ter it was shown on the floor of the as
sembly that the claims. for the payment
of which the bill was introduced, were
the consequence of successful coyote
breeding farms, in some nine or ten
counties of the state, the bill was DOOM
ed to certain defeat. At this point a
telegram was sent to the point where
1t would do the most good, conveying the
assurance that $1,000 would save the
bill" and the bill was Immediately
thereafter saved.
Now, these are the matters that need
explanation. The impression Is abroad
that money was used by which vicious
legislation was secured. The evidence
is SO pointed that it cannot be ignored,
and the clean men who are so unfortu-
nate as to be associated with their less
scrupulous fellows should clear up all
this suspicion before they return home.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND
THE FIESTA

The question of permitting the fire
department to take part in the Fiesta
by turning out in the parade has again
been raised. and is now before the COM
missioners The department made very
creditable displaysin the earlier Fiestas,
but last year this feature was missing,
the fire commissioners having refused
to permit the department to turn out
on the ground that by massing the ap-
paratus In the business portion Of the
city, the outlying residence sections
would be left without protection for sew
eral hours, and in the event of fire the
result might be serious. The commits
sion afterward adopted a general rule
that the department should not take
part in any public celebration, only turn
ing out at the semi-annual inspections,
which rule has been closely adhered to,
despite criticism.
The Fiesta committee yesterday sent
a lengthy communication to the board
of fire commissioners, setting forth their
views at length. and asking that the
previous order be rescinded and the de-
partment allowed to parade. The COM
mittee offered to pay the expenses in
Cured in providing temporary protec-
ton for the residence sections while the
engines were on parade. The comn1u-
nication was accompanied by letter
signed by every local insurance agent,
with two exceptions, Joining with the
committee in this request, provided
proper arrangements could be made
for the outlying districts. Secretary
Walton also appeared before the board
and made long argument in favor Of
granting the request of the committee.
The communications are published in
full in another column, and If the pre-
cautions as outlined are taken, there
does not seem to be any good reason
why the request Of the committee should
not be granted, and the fire department
allowed to take part in the parade.
There is no doubt that the firemen take
great pride in their apparatus, and the
display always attracts much attention,
besides which it will be good object
lesson for eastern visitors who may have
an idea of locating in Los Angeles to
show that we have an up-to-date fire
