How beautiful they are to me,
These many colored leaves,
That fall along my pathway,
AS wander through the trees.
lis but few short months ago,
Fresh from their Makers hand,
IN all their green fresh glory,
Ihey shaded all this land.
NOW, that some hand with kindly frosts,
has changed their handsome green
lnto the rainbow hues of heaven,
How beautiful they seem.
And yellow, red, and blue and green
Lie strewn over all the earth,
Awaiting their return again
10 that which gave them birth,
And scattered prone upon the ground
Their beauties all will die;
Their hues will fade and mouldering.
They all must silent lie.
SO with us mortals here on earth,
Though beautiful we seem,'
We are falling, always falling,
I'LL we part from LIES bright dream.
Our souls alone, unlike the leaves,
VIII glorious shine again;
And thinking of this changing earth,

National Education

To the state belongs the formation os
the DEGREES by which national education
shall be rendered universal, obligatory
and uniform in its general bearing and
direction Moral unity is far more i'm
portant than material unity, and with
out national education moral unity is
impossible, anarchy is inevitable Ma
tional education is. moreover, the sole
just basis on which to found a penal
code. They who oppose the principle of
national education in the name of indi-
vidual independence, do not perceive
that they but remove the child from the
teaching of all his fellow countrymen to
hand over his intellect and independence
to the arbitrary rule and direction of one
sole individual-the father. Liberty and
association are both sacred. and both
must be represented by educat tion. The
social duty by the inculcation and trans
mission of the national and lib
erty of progress by the concession of
like freedom of transmission to all other
programs which should be protected
and encouraged by the state. The ndi-
vidual would then be free to make his
choice.-Mazzini.

not lie In any such backsliding. The
remedy is in better organized public
service, free from partisan boss control
and a gradual reform of the county sys-
tenn to bring it really into touch with the
people so it will serve the public inter-
ests. We do not want to be domi-
mated by a lot of political Pashas who
will make a desperate fight for the vast
plunder every four years. S
In examining the details of the pro-
posed bill we note that salaries are
raised all along the line. The exception
is in two or three court bailiffs reduced
a few dollars, the Jail matron reduced
from $50 to s45 month and one man less
in the auditors office. The saving in
this office, however, with the one man
out, is only ten dollars month. The
matron of the Jail is about the only
person in the whole county government
whose salary ought not to be reduced.
The auditors office is the one office in
tue COuHly tndt shoiN Va u iOi SS ~
properly oversee and keep check on the
public business
The tenor of the bill shows that it is
in fact a county officers bill. 1t is in
their interest. The bill is against the
public interest. Salaries in the court
house are now much in excess of what is
paid for similar services everywhere
outside of it's doors. The proposal to
raise them is only another evidence that
these hard times of our country only
harden the brass cheek of our politi-
clans. The assessment on the court
house for this extraordinarily cheeky
measure should put the people on their
guard.
The bill is now pending in the legisla-
ture. Every citizen should write to his
representative and to the governor
against this bill. In another column the
superficial figures are presented. These
are enough to condemn the introduction
of Turkish and Cuban methods into our
free country.

THOSE STREET NAMES

During the past six weeks or
more the city's commission for
changing and revising the names
of streets has been actively en-
ployed Sitting the fourteen hundred or
more street names and trying to work
them into harmonious and satisfac-
tory system. The work of the commits
sion was finally embodied in an ordi-
nance which was adopted by the council
with only one dissenting vote. Since
the adoption of the ordinance there have
been vigorous protests from individuals
who have felt aggrieved over changes in
names in which they were especially
interested, and press ure is now brought
upon Mayor Snyder to induce him to
veto the ordinance. 1t is out of the
question, of course, to please everybody
in matter of this kind; and some wor-
thy old citizens who have counted on
passing family names down to posterity
through these fondly christened streets
over proposed changes. But, so far as
concerns the public. whose convenience
should be considered in preference to the
qualification of personal vanity. the
changes would in most cases be welcome.
No mere sentimentality should avail to
fasten upon different portions of a single
thoroughfare two or more different
names. No fondness for ira adition should
allow a continuance of the confusing
by the same name. Where conflict of
this kind arises, somebody's pet street
must. of necessity, give way. The pub
lie has been fully informed of the work
of the commission as it progressed and
we think the consensus of opinion is in
favor of great majority of the proposed
changes 1t would be a misfortune to
have the labor of the commission thrown
away by a failure of the ordinance. A
more competent body of men to suggest
changes could not be called together.
and it might be a long time before we
could secure another commission self
sacrificing enough to undertake the on
erous task
A better plan would be to perfect the
changes now proposed and continue the
present commission to suggest such fur
ther amendments as may be found de-
sirable. So shall our mighty maze"
be mot without plan."

In the early sos Jim Schultz was JUS
tice of the peace in Twin Groves town

exceedingly domineering in his words
and actions. His honor finally gave vent
to his feelings as follows: THE court will

are id liar and a scoundrel This

election to the presidency he was be-

score of whom camped on his trail con-
stantly, until few days ago. The pres"
ident-elect was compelled, in self-de-
fense, to take out policy to get rid of
the nuisance. 1t is for $50 900, and Mark

tween the two as near as It can be cal
culated is the amount of the tariff to
be asked for.
1t stands to reason that If tariff is
to protect it must do so by shutting out
the foreign product. If foreign fruit is
cheaper than our fruit, it will sell and
ours will not. The actual variation in
cost between the foreign fruit and our
own fruit is said to be in the vicinity
of one dollar. If that is the case, what
good can a tariff of 20 cents or so cents
possibly accomplish?
The representatives of Southern Cali
fornia in congress can legitimately sup
port a protective tariff on citrus pro-
ducts, and for that matter on all pro-
ducts of this section. If that is to be
the policy of the government, by all
means let us have our share, and let it
be large enough to do us some good.

Pefsonated the Queen

There is an old lady lying in the Penn
sylvania hospital at Philadelphia with a
broken leg who once sat as the figure
of hfe-size painting of Queen Victoria.
She is Miss Blanche Sully, and her father
was Thomas Sully, in his time a famous
painter of portraits. In 1887 he went to
England with a commission from the ST.
George society to paint the portrait of
young Queen Victoria. He took his
daughter with him, and as she was very
nearly OF the same stature as the queen
she sat for the figure in her fathers pic
ture of Victoria. thus saving the latter
the annoyance of long sittings. During
the sittings Miss Sully became quite in
innate with her majesty, and brought
back with her to this country many de-
lightful memoirs of her royal friend.

Unemp loved Citizens

Unemployed Citizens
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: 1t is burning shame and gross
injustice to our destitute and needy citi-
zens and voters that hundreds Of them
are walking the streets in idleness. seek
ing work everywhere and being refused.
while so much public work is given to
tramps through public contracts.
Having had considerable experience in
the employment of that class of labor
ers (?) I am satisfied that the average
tramp will work only when necessity
compels it, and will quit work, no mat
ter how good job he may have, as soon
as that necessity ceases to exist. But
there Is no need of confounding tramps
with actual citizens, and hope that our
city authorities will not waste any be-
nevolent efforts in trying to provide en-
ployment for this undesirable element
of our population. Los Angeles has al
ready been widely advertised among this
fraternity as "bum's paradise" and
for the city to try to provide employment
for them would only increase the evil.
Rather let the authorities enact some
measures to discourage the influx of this
horde of vagabonds and criminals. 1t
is said they are necessary evil, but
think Los Angeles has always had more
than its share of them.
But keep it before the people that the
only permanent solution of the question
of work for unemployed citizens is to
give said citizens the city's public work.
This can only be done by abolishing the
contract system. or so modifying 1t as to
require contractors to give preference
to citizens on public work at prices and
hours prescribed by the city.
n rp If
manent relief is not afforded for this con-
stantly recurring question?

Silver Dollars East and West -

During a recent long journey in the
northwest, in which 1 recently visited
most of the large cities in that region.
for every five-dollar bill which I offered
in payment of sum, however small,
1 was handed back the change in sill
yer coin. Today, in one of the large es-
adjustments in New York city 1 paid
for very small purchase with a two
dollar bill, and especially requested to
have all the return change in silver.
The cashier informed me that he had
not that amount to spare. 1t seems
absurd that many millions of this hard,
bright, clean metal should lie idly in
the mouldy vaults of the public treas
ury and its place should be supplied
by filthy and poisonous rags.-New York

Senator Smith Of New Jersey makes
the following shrewd prediction of events
and conditions next year, after March
10: There will be long drawn-out dis
cussion of the tariff. Business men will
hesitate. They will not know what to
do Things will be at a standstill. Then
we will have the Mckinley tariff again
Duties will be higher, taxes will be high
er, prices will be higher. The man who
depends on his weekly wages will have
to pay more for everything he needs.
