WELL DONE

Yesterday The Herald pointed out
that there were 200 saloons in the city
or one to every SIS persons. and suggest
ed to the board of police commissioners
that no license be granted that will in
crease the total number of saloons ir
the city above the 200 figure.
The police board met yesterday arc
passed resolution in line with the sus.
gestion made by this paper. 1t was de-
clared to be the sense of the board tha
there is already a sufficient number OF
saloons in the city, and that the total
number should be kept down to 200 in the
future.
This action of the board will be COM
mended by all good citizens. 1t is a
move in behalf of temperance and good
government. 1t affords protection to
those saloon keepers who are desirous of
conducting respectable places and re-
moves the temptations incident to undue
competition.
The Herald hopes that the police COM
mission will further regulate the saloon
business in the city by waging
relentless war upon the wine
room evil. If there is such a
thing as an anteroom to hell the wine
room is that thing. 1t is not essential
to the business of respectable saloon.
1t has ruined more lives than all the
regular" bars put together. 1t is net
set for young girls whom the destroyer
cannot reach in any other way 1t is
protection to criminals and the hatch
ing ground of crime. In short, wine
rooms are not to be tolerated in any de-
cent community.

INDIAN LANDS
The Uncompahgres Expected to Ac-
cept Allotment

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 5.-A special
to the Herald from Ouray agency, Utah.
says: The allotment has practically
been carried by Commissioners Jeffreys,
Myton and Griffin. This morning the
commissioners, with Captain Beck.
drove into Ouray. They We're closely
followed by Chief ChevenauX, and with
in an hour the place was alive with In
dams in gala attire.
Captain Beck explained again to them
the object of the commissioners, taking
particular care in impressing them with
the necessity for allotment.
McCook suggested that delegation
Of Indians be allowed to go to WASH
ington to test the correctness of the COM
missioners' cred entials, but the Indians
were told that no authority could be
given them to leave the reservation.
Captain Beck then asked. if they were
willing to accept the verdict of their
emissaries if allowed to go to Washing
ton. and the Indians unanimously agreed
to do so.
The work of the commissioners today
indicates that opposition to the efforts
to allot the Uncompahgres it at an end
if the Indian department will permit tho
emissary to visit Washington

THE TEN BLOCK SYSTEM

Some weeks ago carefully elaborated
system of country road naming and
country house mbering was presented
10 the board Of supervisors. The
scheme Of generating order from chaos
and granting residents of the country a
share of the conveniences of civilization
had been generally and egnpahtically en-
dorsed, and it was delegation from the
Merchants and, Manufacturers associa-
ton of this city that presented the pro-
it seems, ill-considered resolution was
passed blythe board, "declining to adopt
the ten block system" the alleged ex-
cuse being that the condition of the road
fund did not admit of such action.
The supervisors were not asked to pre-
cipitately adopt the system, or to con-
template the expenditure of any large
sum of money. They were asked to ap-
point committee of five citizens, which
was to serve without pay, to make re-
port on the roads of the entire county
to arrange them in such lengths al prac-
ticable ard to suggest a name for each
for the board to act upon. 1t is true that
the board was asked to allow this COM
mittee a clerk and stationery, the cost
of which was not to exceed $3.50
The scheme, as has already been out
lined in The Herald and other papers, is
thoroughly practicable and would un-
6oubtedly be a great convenience 10
country residents ard city visitors. In
the present chaotic condition of the
country roads it is odds against the
travellers reaching his goal unless he
goes to the expense Of hiring guide.
The supervisors apparently have
money TO spend on futile advertising
schemes, such as granting the Native
Sons a subsidy for impractical publica-
ton purposes. 1t seems a pity that they
canuot give more than a curt con-
sideration to a scheme of such general
convenience ard excellence as the "ten
block system"

In New York city has shown the people
OF that city the difference between a
political police force and one that is
governed by civil service rules, and they
will not tolerate, If they can prevent it,
a return to the old regime. Intelligent
people in other cities, all over the coun-
try, have kept track of proce sdings in
the metropolis. They have seen grea.
evil abolished by the enforcement Of
civil service rules. while at the same
time the efficiency of the police depart
ment has been doubled. What is true of
New York city is true of all other cities
in the country 30 far as the same condi-
tions govern.
The Los Angeles police department is
under civil service rules. The taxpayers
and citizens generally demand that
those rules be enforced. They do no,
desire to pay taxes and see the money
expended in maintaining a political
police force.
Any city official who cannot get or
retain office except through granting
political favors at the expense of the
people is not fit to have office, or having
office, to retain 1t.

A REASON FOR DELAY

Since the Dingley law went into oper-
exceeded the revenues about $50, 1000, 900
Notwithstanding receipts from internal
taxes were considerably in excess OF
those Of last year for the same period
caused by certain changes made in the
new law. The deficit in September is
small as compared with August for the
reason that September is a month in
which there are smaller expenditures
than in any other month of the year,
and usually It is a month of heavy i'm
ports. 1t is anticipated that in October
the deficit will be large, as expenditures
will be heavy and importations light
The next is the long session Of congress
which will entail upon the country a
great expense. 1t promises to be longer
than usual, for there will be propositions
to revise the money system, and on thai
subject there is great contrariety OF
views.
The Dingley law will have to be
amended in several particulars, and as
there will inevitably be insufficiency of
revenue other sources will have to be
sought to increase it. Besides these
Cuba and Hawaii will be up for dis
cussior.
In addition to the influences hostile
to San Pedro which surround Alger, he
may be, and probably is. influenced by

to relieve the administration and his
party from embarrassment while a
man of larger mould and a higher ap-
probation of duty would rise above ali
such considerations. There is every in
dication that Alger will seize upon pre-
lenses as "thin as air. to delay the
construction of work which great
commercial interests require should be
speedily done. How long, oh Alger!"
wilt thou hold this dreadful pother over

PUSH THE BOULEVARD

The city council has adopted the rec
ommendation of the board Of public
works that the Adobe route. so called,
be selected for the Pasadena boulevard,
and has instructed the city engineer to
prepare the map and survey necessary
drawn.
The boulevard scheme thus bids fair to
become an actuality in the near future.
The work cannot be- done, any too soon
to suit the people of Los Angeles and
Pasadena, who have perhaps felt that
time has already been unnecessarily
wasted. But things of this kind are al
ways slow in their preliminary stages.
There is reason to hope that better pro-
gress will be made from. now on.
The construction of the boulevard. will
give employment to quite a number of
men for considerable length of time al
season when work is most appreciated,
and will put a large sum of money in
circulation where it will do the most
good.
Only those who have had occa asion to
drive over the present routes between
this city and Pasadena can appreciate
their woeful deficiencies. The road is bad,
dusty, often too narrow, and is menaceG
by railroad crossings. 1t is about as
much as his life is worth for the bicy-
clist to attempt the journey between the
two cities. The construction of the bou-
levard will benefit the communities to
an extent that cannot be estimated.
The good work should not stop with
the construction Of boulevard between
Los Angeles and Pasadena A similar
thoroughfare is needed between Los An
geles and Santa Monica. 1t has got 10
come some day, and the sooner it is built
the better.
When there is a typical Southern Cali
fornia boulevard, well built and well
kept, from Pasadena to Los Angeles,
and from this city to Santa Monica, it
will be an occasion for celebration

SEA MARRIAGES AGAIN

Judge Allen has reaffirmed the inval-
idity of sea marriages, set forth in his
decision of few weeks ago. 1t is not
likely that the case will be taken to
higher court, so that Judge Aliens de-
cision Will stand as precedent with
respect to sea marriages in this state
The community is to be congratulated
upon this final result. The sea marriage
scheme, which was calculated to evade
the wholesome rev divorce law, and 10
facilitate elopement on the part of young
or otherwise foolish persons, threaten ed
to become an evil of no small propor-
tions. Bad people, as well as foolish
people, were taking advantage of it. II
brief the sea marriage bade fair to be
an agency for the ruin of many lives.
Judge Aliens decision puts the law.
like rock, against the evil.
The inconsiderate couples who were
married" a sea- and who thought they
had thus evaded the provisions of the
law would better repair the mistake they
made in a legal manner, If they may,
Those who are debarred from doing this
must stand the consequences of their
own foolish action. The sea marriage
may now be called a closed ncident.
Any attempt 10 circumvent, eyade or
get around any law tia is calculated for
the general good of the community is
almost certain to bring about unhappi-

The New York Times notes with satis-
faction the fact that American fruits
some of them perishable, are now placed
on the market in good condition, and
says:
The difficulties in the way were many,
and had long been considered insupera-
BILE, but the American fruit growers
and dealers needed new outlet for
their product and determined to get it.
They met with repeated failures at
first, but a lesson was learned from
each, and now adequate facilities for
this trade have been developed or ere
ated, and it is as firmly established as
that in wheat or heiresses.
That is very nice; but should not the

fruit growers in order to be strictly ac-
curate? The Herald has not heard that
the market was established by the pro-
ducts or the dealers of other states.

POLITICAL POLICEMEN

Does political influence, rather than
competence and civil service rules
govern appointments to the Los Angeles
police force? 1t would appear SO from
an article printed in yesterday morn
ing's Herald The article went into de-
tails. 1t did not generalize, but pointed
out the specific instances upon which
the charge that political appointments
are being made was based. Up TO tn
present writing there has been no denial
of the statements made in The Herali
article. Silence gives consent.
The police commissioners are treadine
on dangerous ground when they thus
violate their own rules in the. interest
of the political ambitions of their friends
and themselves. There can be no
metropolitan" police force where poll
tics governs the appointment, of its
members.
That a political police force seriously
impairs its own efficiency is not 10 BE-
questioned. The political appointee is
apt to regard politics as the most i'm
portaEt part of his duties. He gets care
less of his other duties. When he is
remiss he depends upon his pull, to
keep him in his position.
On the other hand. the policeman with
cut pull is apt to grow lax and dis
couragsd when he sees. the political
policeman get with his pulp what he
may not hope to gain by the hardest
work and the utmost faithfulness. The
political evil cuts both ways.
