How senator Vest obtained HI. Desk.

Many good stories could be told Of
the alertness which senators display
in securing well placed desks, but
the experience of Mr.. Vest is especi-
ally worth relating. When in 1888
the civil service law was being dis
cussed, Mr.. Pendleton, an Ohio Dem
ocrat, and Mr.. Dawes had presented
bills. by shrewd bit of politics the
Republicans abandoned their support
of the Dawes bill and voted for Mr..
PendIeton's measure, their votes, to-
gether with the votes of the Demo
Gratis favorable to the measure, be-
ing sufficient to pass it. As the bill
was about to be voted on Mr.. Cock
rell moved that its title be changed
so as to read, "a bill to retain Repub-
Leans in Office" AS soon as it passed,
Mr.. Vest filed n claim for Mr.. Pendle-
tons seat "1'he author of such a
bill" said he. will never come back
to the senate"
Mr., Vest was right, and at the be-
ginning of the next congress he
moved into Mr.. pendleton's vacant
chair-Washington Post

MUSTER THEM OUT

At a session of the local war board
yesterday, evidence was submitted con-
firming the reports of unsanitary con-
ditions, neglect and ill-treatment to
which the Seventh regiment has been
subjected at Camp Merritt, as previously
reported by The Herald. In view Of all
these wretched conditions, and the fur

regiment will not be required by the
government, the war board acted wisely
in taking steps to secure the mastering

The whole matter Of their enlistment
and retention in camp for four months,
during which they have been subjected
to slight. neglect and disease breeding
conditions, may be set down as a
wretched travesty.
If Secretary Alger designed this, or
any part Of it, as means of getting

liking him. he Is welcome to all the
glory he will get out of it.
The president should be appealed to
directly to let our boys come home. We
have buried our dead: we will try to
nurse the sick back to health. Our pa

rejected and spit upon, will keep. and
along with it there will be an endur-

COAL AND ELECTRICITY

The discovery Of promising coal
prospect in Cajon pass Is not surpris-
ing. There is probably plenty of coal
in the m<lntains of Southern California.
Like many other elements of wealth, the
coal deposits have not been explored
and utilized. Not only coal, but iron
is known to exist in the mountains north
and northeast Of Los Angeles, and it
is only a question of time when these
products will be marketed here.
Fortunately coal is not so essential
factor in the business world as 1t was
few years ago; at least where facin-
ties are offered for the introduction Of
electricity. generated by water power.
Before this year closes we shall prob
ably have light. heat and power, avail
able to any desired extent, at rates lower
than other cities pay where coal is plen-
tiful and cheap.
Less than year ago grave doubts
were expressed about the practica bility
OF transmitting electric energy a great
distance without ruinous loss All doubts
on that subject were set at rest several
months ago. Nicola Tesla, the distin-
guished electrician and specialist in long
distance transmission gave a friendly
opinion in personal letter, expressing
unqualified faith in the enterprise. Mr..
Tesla says: by means of the polyphase
system power can be readily and eco
nomically transmitted to much greater
distances than eighty miles,"
Relative to the percentage of loss in
long distance transmission, which gave
much uneasiness at an early stage of the
project, Mr.. Tesla says: 1.-THE loss at
eighty miles may be practically reduced
to the same figure as at five miles: It
is mere question of the electric tension
adopted" Under the favorable circum-
stances. resulting from abundant cheap
power there is no reason whatever why
Los Angeles should not soon be the site
OF many large manufacturing industries.

THE sIxTY-sEcoND VICTIM

Last Monday evening Frank Rodd-
baugh, private Of company H, Seventh
regiment California volunteers, died of
typhoid fever. This makes the sixty
second victim Of the sinkhole known
as Camp Merritt, to which the South
ern California boys were assigned.
Young Rodibaugh was a nephew of DR..
Stephen Bowers of this city. His par
ents, who reside in Ventura, are now
inconsolable over the loss Of their only
SOM When this young man entered the
service the examining surgeons pro-
nounced him one of the best men, phys-
ically, Of his company. His life has been
sacrificed. not to subserve any useful
purpose for his country, but as a penalty
for the gross Incompetence and care
lessness, or worse, which has character
lied the treatment Of the Seventh regi-
ment from the first day 1t reported for
duty.
At this distance 1t is hard to fathom
the motives of the authorities in COM
mand, who are responsible for locating
our gallant boys upon that disease and
death-breeding camp ground. Anybody
with q grain of common sense ought to
have known that the proximity Of a
burying-ground. garbage dumps and
piles Of decaying stable manure, together
with the chill winds and fogs that roll
in from the Pacific ocean in that local
ity, would undermine the strongest con-
stitutions and breed disease and death
When to these wretched conditions were
added an insufficient supply Of clothing
and Indifferent food. the climax of ne
elect and abuse was reached.

victims, and Of those who may yet fol-
low them as the results Of disease al.
ready engendered, should be writer
