ANNOUNCEMENT

with tomorrows issue The Herald will
enlarge its department of financial news
and will aim to make 1t Of peculiar value
to bankers, investors and business men
generally. To carry out this intention an
arrangement has been made with G. A.
Dobinson. editor Of The Investor. by the
terms Of which his. journal will be merged
In The Herald and financial department
under his personal supervision will appear
in these columns daily.
The Investor has been widely and favor
ably known during its three years Of ex-
istence, having been commended for its
conservative tone, its accuracy and its
energetic advocacy of Southern California
interests. Covering broad field in which
the welfare of the small investor in saw
ings bank deposits was considered as care
fully as the interests of large bond buyers
1t has won for itself recognition abroad
and at home.
1t is expected that the Introduction in
these columns of similar broad treatment
of subjects which interest the large and
small investors alike will be accepted as an
evidence that The Herald intends to excel
in all the details that go to make a success

These are the fiscal years. and enough

In the selection of boiler inspector and
deputy yesterday, the city council vir-
tually ignored the recommendations Of
the board of examining engineers, to
whom had been delegated the selection
Of these important offices. After the
board had faithfully performed it's du-
ties, and taken every precaution to Sc
cure an absolutely fair and impartial
examination, their work was undene in
a greedy grab for patronage. Instead
Of the two highest men on the list being
selected, the two lowest of those recon-
mended were chosen. Advantage was
taken of a technicahty to dispose o6 the
highest man. 1t may be the fact that
the second man on the list was Popu-
list who took a very deep interest in the
fusion movement at the last city elec-
ton had nothing to do with his being
turned down., but 1t will be very hard
to convince the public that such is the
case. Irt view, Of all. the circumstances.
the action of the council has the appear
ance of very small political job, in
which that body went out of It's way to
gratuitously' insult a board of compe-
tent engineers who gave their services
without compensation in an effort to se-
cure the best available material for the
places. It was petty business through
out, and one that it Will be difficult to

K1NEroscoPrc PuaILIsM

The United States senate is about to
give some attention to the question Of
regulating the public morals. Senator
Hoar has reported favorably the bill
prohibiting kinetoscopic exhibitions Of
prize fights in the territories and the
District of Columbia. 1t is foregone
conclusion that the bill will meet with
but little, If any, serious opposition in
either house. 1t is essentially a meas
ure aimed at the suppression of disorder
and knavery in a particular direction,
and 1t is only unfortunate that the oper-
alton of the law will be necessarily linn
tied in it's territorial application.
Unless the several states shall adopt
measures that will be essentially similar
to the contemplated act of congress the
operation of the latter. however we'll in
tended, will be of but little practical
benefit. There remains the great ex-
panse Of the sovereign states, with their
populous cities. through which the de-
grading exhibition may still lawfully pa
rade. With even but one state licensing
prize fighting, as the case stands at
present, the law against this form of
brutality in all the other states, would
become practically nullifled. so far as
the exemplary benefit of the exhibition
is concerned, by the license to reproduce
fe CT 70 of "a
fight at pleasure. However until the
legislatures of the several states shall
have taken prohibitory action upon the
microscopic exhibit, there seems to be
no available means of suppressing the
Objectionable display of shadowy pugs
fighting to finish upon canvass. 1t is
quite certain that many of the states
will take the earliest opportunity to
adopt such prohibitive measures by leg
islation. while it is also probable that
others will take no action whatsoever in
the matter.
Under these circumstances 1t would
seem most desirable to have the reported
bill so framed as to close the United
States mails to all matter tending to adj
vertise or promote prize fighting. This
could be effectually done by the opera
tion of provisions such as now apply to
the mailing Of obscene matter, or by
the provisions of the law as applicable
to advertising lotteries Even. the great
state of Nevada might fail to successful
ly- disseminate the modern doctrine of
champion pugllism under the shadow of
such law.

sELF-PREsERvATIoN - MEN
AND NEWSPAPERS

Self preservation is the first law of
nature The paramount duty of every
man is to provide for his existence. Un-
less he fulfill this requirement. he is OF
no consequence whatever in the scheme
OF creation; his influence for good or
bad is nil. Having provided first for
his existence 1t is then incumbent upon
him to do all the good he can for himself
and his fellows.
That which. is true of an individual
Is equally true of a newspaper. 1t is
. incumbent upon newspaper to first be-
come self-sustaining by fair and en-
terprising means and then do what good
it can in the world to justify its being.
These reflections have a practical
bearing in the fact that The Herald, in
order to provide for self-respecting ex
istence. has found 1t necessary to ad-
vance the price Of subscription from 80
cents to rs cents per month.
To many this advance may seem like
q mere caprice of greed-a mere desire
to grab from the public an unwarranted
profit. Nothing could be further from
the real state of the. case.
The simple fact is that a newspaper Of
the size Of The Herald with the patronage
possible for a single journal to secure in
this community cannot be published and
sold at the low price of so cents per
month without entailing loss upon its
owners. And the greater its circulation
under such conditions the greater the
less.
Had the former managers Of The Her
aid first brought this to mathematical
calculation they would not have dropped
from the old price to such a greatly re-
duced figure as,to entail one Of two con-
sequences, either business failure or a
cheapening of the paper until 1t should
become no longer a credit to the COM
munity.
We believe that the desire Of a great
majority Of people is not so much for a
cheap paper as for good one. The
matter OF 20 cents per month--less than
Z cent day-is trivial to the individual
who is able to buy newspaper at all,
but It is of vast import to concern SELL
ing thousands of copies daily and de-
pending largely upon the proceeds OF
such sales to pay IT'S bills.
OF course it is recognized that the
wholesale principle operates with news
papers as with other classes of mcrchan-
dise-the larger the sales the lower the
price per copy possible. But there Is al
ways a limit below which even the
wholesale principle cannot go. The
possible extension of circulation for a
Journal published in Los Angeles Il not

An ordinance requiring all overhead
wires, with the exception of those Of
electric railroads, to be put in under
ground conduits within one year, passed
the city council yesterday. While this is
undoubtedly a move in the right direc-
tion, it is question whether or not it is
too radical just at this juncture. when
there is fair prospect of securing COM
petition in telephone and electric lighting
service.
