FIRE THEM OUT.

The Los Angeles press compliments
San Pedro because of the manner in
which she sat down upon Poker Davis
and his gang Of robbers on Sunday
San Pedro American.
And the Los Angeles press would be
glad Of an opportunity to compliment
the Los Angeles authorities for driving
the same gang out of this city.
If there Is any good reason why an
organization Of professional card sharp
ers and confidence men are permitted
to ply their vocation undisturbed, The
Herald would like to know it,
The existence Of such a gang is not
tolerated in any we'll regeated city.
Poker" Davis and his satellites should
be notified to leave the city at once,
and their reappearance should be the
signal for their immediate arrest and
as suspicious characters.
A few days with the chain gang would
facilitate a more perfect understanding
in the matter.
The day is past when a crowd of
sharpers can run" things in this city.

Los Angeles Should Have the Next
Session

-
Session
To the Editor of The Los Angeles
Herald: The National Educational as
sociation meets at Milwaukee July 9Th.
This association consists of teachers
from all parts of the Union. The attend
ance at the meeting at San Francisco in
1888 was 1920; at Denver in 1895 1t was
1927, and at Buffalo last year 1t was
5000. Two years ago the sentiment in the
association was strong to hold the meet
ing a. Los Angeles. AT the meeting next
month it will be considered where to
hold the session in 1898. Salt Lake City
and Omaha are each endeavoring to &C.
cure the convention and will send large
committees. A recent private letter
from the latter place says that Omaha
will send a committee of ten.
The advantage of a visit from the
number of people likely to attend. which
is estimated would be from 10000 TO
$4,000, needs no discussion. They would
leave from $4,000 to 100000 right here
in the city. And when 1t is considered
that these people are educators and are
in constant contact with young, active
and intelligent inquirers. it will be real
lied that visit from them would be Of
great and continuing value to the whole
of Southern California.
1t Is probable that, with a moderate
degree of activity, Los Angeles can Sc
cure the meeting Of the association for
next year. With this object in view the
board of education is endeavoring to
have the citizens send a committee to
Milwaukee to endeavor to secure the
convention for this city.
I would suggest that the chamber Of
commerce, the board of trade, the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' association
and all other public organizations unite
in seeing that strong and active COM
mittee is put in charge of the matter and
that immediate steps be taken to make
sure of this prize.

OCEAN TRAVEL

The managers of the large steamship
lines are not a little perplexed at the
unexpected falling off that is observable
in the volume of ocean travel. Among
the reasons for this decline, hard times
at home, and the increase of prices in
Europe, are given as the most promi-
nent. 1t is no longer easily possible to
save money by going abroad. Prices
have been steadily advanced in foreign
lands and hotel, railroad and general
living expenses are as high in most of
the important centers as they are in the
United States today; and added to this
fact, the steamship companies are charg-
ing higher rates than ever before.
There is also another item in connec-
tion with ocean travel, which is that
immigration has fallen off this year

Our Steve's Joke

1t isn't often that anything with even
touch of humor can be found in a dry
and technical tariff debate, but one day
last week the discussion of the duty on
spectacles was not without an amusing
dialogue. 1t was shown by Senator
Jones and other Democrats that the
duty on some classes of spectacles was
as high as $50 per cent.
Il can we'll understand" said Senator
White of California, addressing Senator
Aldrich, why you want to prohibit the
wearing of spectacles. 1t is because you
don't want them to read this bill, but at
the same time you ought to have some
consideration for the people who like to
read the proceedings of this body and
other less interesting things. It does not
make any difference to me-" added Mr..
White, because 1 do not use glasses 9;
but it is rather hard on those who do
have to use them"
And 1t seems to me-" said Senator
Caffery of Louisiana, "that the senator
from Rhode Island ought not to under
take to say what sort of spectacles peo-
pie are to use.'
"A spectacle will be made Of this bill
by the time these amendments are
adopted" added Senator White, and

SECRECY IN DIVORCE CASES

The question of secrecy in the matter
Of divorce proceedings has acquired
fresh interest Of late from the letter Of
complaint recently published in this pa
per from lawyer whose client had been
subjected to undue publicity in viola
ton Of an existing statute.
The San Bernardino Sun prints the
attorneys letter and The Herald's COM
1nents thereon, and ably takes up the
thread of the discussion. The law, It
says. provides that the pleadings and
the testimony shall be kept secret, but
does not, as some attorneys think, say
that the fact that the suit has been
brought shall be hushed up. On the
contrary, the title Of the action and the
names of the parties are to be entered
on the register of actions the same as
any other cause. Publicity to this ex-
tent is therefore expected, by inference.
But the Sun goes further, and declares
against the advisability of having such
a law at all, and asserts the weakness
Of the logic which argues that by secrecy
innocent parties may be saved from hu-
initiation. The attempt at secrecy is
merely premium upon divorce" 1t
cites the fact that many a disreputable
practitioner boldly advertises divorces
secured quietly" and adds:
'If people knew that in applying for
divorce the grounds upon which they
seek 1t were to be an open book to their
friends; that all the evidence submit
ted was to be open to the public the
number Of actions for a dissolution of
the marriage bond would decrease so
per cent in this state in the first year
which would not be bad for public
morals"
1t is Of course understood that the
structures Of the Sun are general, and
not intended to apply to any particular
case, and it is not TO be denied that its
arguments are difficult to controvert
The very people who complain of the
"sensa tionalism' of newspapers are
most apt to have something to conceal.
At the same time the newspapers that
seek to maintain and respect the law
should be protected against others that
do not practice that virtue.

ENLIST THE LADIES

Most assuredly the women should be
given an active and prominent part in
the Bryan festivities, and The Herald
thanks its correspondent, M. V. L., for
calling attention to the matter. Any
omission in this respect must have been
a mere oversight and not intentional.
The local Woman's Bryan club should
be called into session at once to assist
in welcoming the distinguished guest
and in performing other social func-
tions that only the fair sex can dis
charge with grace. The great occasion
will not be complete without the pres
ence and the assistance Of the ladies.

His Head Was Level

A country gentleman who, perhaps,
had read considerable, but whose trav-
ell and hotel experience was limited, put
up at the Hollenbeck one day last week
After registering he sat down in an Office
chair and busted himself watching the
throng of people passing back and forth
on the busy thoroughfare of Spring
street, and, for variety, perhaps, men,
tally considering, now and then, the
probable effect of the new tariff eched-
ule on the products of the country. FL
nally the time arrived when "drows-
ness o'ertakes" most people, and this
rural gentleman thought he would re-
tire for the night, and, walking up to the
desk asked for the key, and as the clerk
handed it to him and said:
"Do you wish call in the morning?''

The letter from Mr.. c. c. Davis pub
lished in today's Herald deserves the
attention of every citizen. No effort
should be spared to induce the National
Educational association to select Los
Angeles for it's next place of meeting.
Mr.. Davis thinks that with "a moderate
degree of activity" this desirable re-
suit could be attained, and the opportu
nifty should certainly not be lost from
lack of organization and interest. The
timely suggestion that the principal pub
lie organizations Of the city should APP
point a committee to work for this end

TOO LONG HOLIDAYS

Today inaugurates the annual three.
months holiday which custom and
presumably, the state of civi.
finances enjoin upon the children
of the public schools. 1t is a
doubly serious problem how. on the
one hand. the child is to njoy such an
inordinate slice Of leisure, and how on
the other hand, the parent is to provide
against the spelling of the discipline,
the hiatus in education, and the general
wastage of good fruits of the public
school system. 1t is serious problem
and one that annually presents itself to
the pater familias, or more directly,
probably, to the mistress of the house
hold, with considerable concern.
That three months holiday Is alto
gether too long both for the child and
the teacher, and still more for the par
ent, is generally granted. The COM
plant, II have nothing to do" will be
often heard from young lips during the
next three months in the back yards
that are Of prescribed limits, and in
which the possible diversions are soon
exhausted. The thread Of study in many
cases will be dropped so far that it will
be difficult to pick it UP when school
begins again, and too often the profit
Of the previous term will be lost. The
teacher, too, at no more than living
wage during the term. can i'll afford
so long a vacation, and with many OF
them it is hard holiday task to eke
out a three months enforced leisure.
The parent will heave a big sigh of re-
lief when the three months are at last
at an end, and would in nine cases out
of ten willingly have paid little more
in taxes to have made it possible for
school to continue for another month or
two.
There is another objection, not to the
length, but the season of the pres
ent vacation. The schools close when
the weather is comparatively cool and
begin again at the hottest time.
But the main question that presents
itself now to the parent is how to keep
the children employed and happy durins
these long three months. Endeavor to
find-it will not often be necessary to
create it-a distinct interest in which
the youngster may employ him or her
self. If such is helpful in the household
so much the better. Give the boy the care
of a part of the garden, arouse his pride
in it, and perhaps give him a small wage
for pocket money. In a dozen ways
small jobs of interest may be found for
the child, which will be of infinite value
in both occupying his time and train
ing his character.

Ex-Queen Lii vigorously protests
against Hawaiian annexation to this
country. She undoubtedly has the SYM
pathy Of crowned heads and of Grover
Cleveland. She claims that the title to
the crown lands is vested in her, but she
overlooks the fact that they are the
property of the nation and not of herself
individually, nor as 'her majesty" The
natural rights of men are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" All other
rights are created and may be abolished
by human enactments. Her protest will
have little weight with the American
people, who do not believe that royalty
can be derived through heredity or con-
ferred by testaments.

An Inning for Southern Papers

The southern newspapers are partic-

the lynching Of the negro at Urbana,
o. 1t cannot be denied that they have
reason for what they say. The northern
people have made pretensions of su-
perior virtue on this question, and have
unconsciouely held themselves up as
models when they condemned souther II
alwlessness. 1t is only natural that the
south should now point to Urbana and

BRYAN AND SILVER

The able expounders of unreasoning
partisanship who are making it their
business to periodically assert that sill
yer is dead and that Bryan is nonen-
tity are subjected to the business end
of a goad by the Fresno EXpositor, which
says:
The small newspapers of the state are
doing their best to belittle Mr.. Bryan
on the eve of his coming, with the hope,
perhaps, that it will keep people from
going to hear him or influence their
conclusions If they do. They may as
well save themselves. The people who
supported VIM. j. Bryan last year have
not lost confidence in him by any
means, and many who did not vote for
him would do so if they had the chance
this year. Irrespective of politics. all the
people will want to hear this young
leader, and they'll decide for themselves
whether his popularity is on the
wane" his ''voice falling" and all that.
1t is indeed surprising that at this
late day any newspaper should seek to
make political capital and degrade a
political principle by such blind and
foolish appeals The average American
citizen is in the habit of thinking and
acting for himself. If he is to be in
fuenced, it must be done by proper
display of facts and the application of
reason.
From a political point of view, how
ever, these attacks on silver and on Mr..
Bryan are to be regarded as boomerangs
that will return to veX those who make
use of them.
A fine opportunity will be afforded to
make a practical test of the matter on
Monday, July 5th, when Mr.. Bryan will
speak in Los Angeles.
