G. W. K. McNary and sentenced to be

slaughter. He has been confined in the
Yavapai County Jail for nearly three
years. Naturally powerful man he has
fattened and grown stronger during the
confinement. From the first he has said
he would not go to Yuma, and when the
officers entered the jail yesterday to convey
him to the trSin he made a desperate re-
sistance and howled murder at the top of
his voice. After a fierce struggle with four
men he was thrown ard ironed, not, how

CLUB HEADQUARTERS

The Silver Republican club of this
city, which, by the way, is one of the
strongest political organizations in the
United States, will make no mistake if
it establishes wellappointed and con-
venient club house. 1t is a long time
before we may look for the excitement OF
another campaign and meanwhile moth
ing would so much conduce to keeping
the organization together and in good
heart as the cultivation Of social rela-
tions. The establishment of club house
with requisite modern accommodations
would furnish a nucleus and a rallying
point and would strengthen the club in
numbers and efficiency. This can be
done without bankrupting the organiza-
ton or drawing seriously upon its re-
sources. Besides, it will be merely car
rying out one of the declared purposes
when the constitution was adopted in
December, 1896. The membership CON-
mittee then announced:
1t is the intention, Immediately after
the election of officers in January. to
provide and furnish new and perma-
nent club quarters on the plan of a
thoroughly equipped, modern club
house, with reception room, parlor,
reading room library, committee room,
smoking room. billiard ROOM card room,
baths, ETC.. the privileges of which
would cost from $24 to $36 per year in
any other organization.

PROFESSOR Walls THEORY

All the thought, all the ingenuity, all
the enterprise of man have not discov-
cred to him the secrets Of the processes
by which nature deposits the precious
metals. We rejoice over our boasted
progress, but in this thing man has had
to take what nature has grudgingly
given him. Laws have been laid down
regarding these processes of nature only
to come to grief; men have theorized and
spent their time and money working out
those theories only to be the apparent
victims of tickle fortune Scientists have
explored and explained with the same
unsatisfactory results. To this day with
all the knowledge and experience that
mankind has gained, gold and silver are
where you find them" There is no per-
manent, inviolable rule for their dis
covery.
There is no good reason, however. for
believing that the processes of nature
with particular reference to the laws
governing the deposits of precious
metals, should forever remain book
sealed to mankind. Other secrets have
been discovered-secretsth are no whit
less wonderful, and today we regard
them as matter Of course. We now

THE SCHOOL YEAR

In an editorial on the school question
yesterday morning The Herald assumed
that a state law governing the case
stipulated that there should be ten
months schooling in each year. The
assumption was based upon an interview
with Superintendent Foshay of the board
of education, printed in a morning con-
temporary. 1t now appears that the
statement was wrong, and that Mr..
Foshay claims to have been misquoted.
In fact, the law prescribes that there
shall be at least eight months Of school
during each year, and that the school
year shall close not later than June 80.
That is all there is to it. There is moth
ing that requires the schools to be
kept open ten months in the year, not
even an implied contract with theteach-
ers to that effect.
During the last twelve years the school
year in Los Angeles has been nine months
long each year, with the exception of
the following: 1856, 91a months; 1SS7-S,
9A months; 1884, 91s months; 1866,
ga months; 1867, ga months. or course
if there had been any state law requir-
ing the schools to be kept open ten
months of each year, it would not have
been igpored by our local school authori-
ties.
1t is clear, too, that under the pres
ent circumstances the school year can
not be prolonged beyond June 30, There
is nothing, however, to prevent the school
board from postponing the opening of
the schools until September o. and that
action should certainly be taken.
The other cities of Southern California
are taking up this question: of the school
year, and the opinion is unanimous, so
far as heard from, that the opening
should be postponed beyond the date now
fixed.

KILL SEVERAL BIRDS

While very little has yet appeared on
understood that the agitation for suit
able convention hall for Los Angeles is
not being allowed to rest. Several live
committees have it in hand and it is
reasonable to suppose that something
substantial will result from their de-
liberations and active work.
The prime necessity is of course for a
building that will give the city a con-
vention hall big enough to accommodate
any gathering that may be held. here up
to convention of great political party,
a meeting of the National Educational
association or a worlds Christian En-
deavor conventional hall that will
hold anywhere from 10000 to 1000 peo-
pie.
While we are providing this great hall
there will be no harm in killing two or
more birds with one stone. The hall
should of course be distinctive of the CITY
and for municipal public purposes, if
the term be allowable. Then why should
not the building include permanent
rooms for the academy of science? Why
should it not afford a home for a fine
museum of natural history? A public
art gallery? 1t might also be possible to
include home for the Public library in
it; but that would depend largely upon
the feasibility of separating the library
part from the noises of great conven-
ton, and upon the location of the pro-
posed convention hall.
The Herald makes these suggestions
merely to show the possibilities and ad-
vantages of an adequate convention hall
with respect to other local public insti-
tutions. Doubtless others will be able
to improve upon them. The Academy of
Science, and kindred Institutions, are
certainly entitled to home at the hands
of the city.
This week, without any flourish OF
trumpets, new library building will
be opened to the public at Kansas City
1t was built at cost of $780,

THE UNION PACIFIC STEAL

The Herald a few weeks ago laid be-
fore it's readers in this column brief
exposition of the facts relating to the
foreclosure sale of the Union Pacific
railway system, and the scheme that has
been concocted by a ''reorganiza ton
committee to get possession of the great
property for a sum that represents a
small proportion of its real value.
We now print. in another column of
today's paper an article by Senator
White, treating of the sale and the
scheme as outlined in the foregoing, re-
produced from the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, which accompanies the article
with a vigorous editorial calling atten-
tion to the facts and the conditions and
protesting against allowing the conspi-
racy to be carried out. Both should be
carefully digested by every reader of
The Herald. The cases of all these sub
sidized and defaulting railways hang
together. 1t apparently makes little diff
ference to the corporations whether re-
funding or reorganization is the plan
pursued. Anything before government
ownership, suits the monopoly.
The question whether the Union Pa
cif1c system shall be sold TO the reorgan-
ization committee is also a question
whether the government shall be cheated
out of s25, 1000 000-about the amount OF
the profits on two bond stealing issues

doubtedly has the power, as Senator
White points out, to prevent the loss OF
this great sum. But while the admin
istration is making a great ado about
what it is trying to accomplish in be-
half of the dear people, there is no indi-
cation whatever that it intends to try
to prevent the prize steal of the decade

PROFIT SHARING

While profit sharing is still in the ma
ture of an experiment, and while the
long season of business depression has
tended to eliminate it from the practi-
cable solution of industrial problems,
it has by no means been entirely aban
doned, either in this country or abroad.
The London papers are telling about the
eighth annual bonus festival of the
South Metropolitan Gas company, which
was held recently at the works of the
corporation.
Nearly $4,000 was distributed among
the employees as their share of the years S
profits. The total amount that has been
paid to the employees as their share of
the profits is s52O000, of which SAT-, 500 is
invested with the company. In the twelve
months ending with June last the COM
pany paid out in wages and salaries
81, 100000, and it employs $50 more hands
this year than it did last
1t would be interesting to know just
what part profit sharing has played il
the success achieved by this great con-
cern, but the plan must be favorably
regarded, or it would not have been
maintained so long. 1t is probable that
as times grow better in this country and
as employers and the employed. set to
understand each other better, the profit
sharing system will come into more
general practice than it does now.

children. The fine library it contains Is
first of all school library. and there are
also pictures and other works of art
Kansas City has also just raised $780,
900 to build commodious auditorium for
convention purposes. 1t was claimed the
only thing Kansas City lacked to make
it the model convention city of the coun-
try was a big auditorium. So the peo-
pie went to work few weeks ago and
raised the money, and now they are pre-
pairing to construct a building. Los
Angeles could give Kansas City cards
and spades as a convention city if we
had a convention hall; but we haven't
got the hall-yet.

Such a Lovely Time

A couple of Philadelphia girls con-
ceived the idea of becoming girl bache-
lors for the summer, says the Philadel-
phia Record. They accordingly secured
a little house away off in the woods near
Valley Forge, where they proceeded to
rough it to their hearts content. Glow
ing letters of the good. times they were
having reached a number of their girl
friends in the city, and the outcome of
this correspondence was house party
At least it was dignified as such in the
invitations. The guests arrived in due
time, only to discover that the girl
bachelors were provided with but one
bed. Cooking to them was an unknown
art, and they had been subssting upon
such nutritious viands' as watermelon
raw tomatoes and sliced peaches. The
roof leaked when it rained and the place
looked as though it hadn't been cleaned
for years. The house party lasted just
four hours, or until the arrival of the
next train for the city, and when the
guests were about to depart, the two
girls who had been having such a per-
fectly lovely time said they guessed they
would go, too. And they did.

At Midnight

Out In the garden, shadowed by the trees-
No murmurous hum of bees;
No faintest sigh of breeze;
No insect whirs; no bird song-still as
death.
Safe in its messy sheath
The jeweled humming bird,
With wings which flashed all day,
Hangs hidden underneath the sheltering
spray
Dost hear the step that rustles under
meath?
No leaf by zephyr stirred!
Here, in bower where soft the night dews
weep,
The butterfly doth sleep
Each flashing jewel in its odorous home
The whispered edict heard:
Tis night-no longer roam
ger heliotrope, or on the sweet pea gay
Sip honeyed fragrance-fold thy wings
away!"
The far stars twinkle-night Is over all
Hedged by this garden wall.
The heavy-headed flowers droop with dew.
Shake out thy odor, vase of red red hue.
Thou queenly rose upon the guarded stalk
Close by the graveled walk!
And thou deep-fringed carnations, lift thy
head;
Disdain not now to shed
