Excellent success has been had y de-

bisulphide Of carbon applied IN their

sists In pouring an ounce or two or the
bisulphide into each Of a number OF holes
made In the nest with a SICK promptly
closing the holes with the foot. The
bisulphide penetrates through the under
ground tunnels and kills the ants in enor-
nous numbers, and. IL applied with sufti-

FALL INTO LINE!

1t is to be hoped that every citizen Of
Los Angeles, regardless of party,
will read and study the recommended
tions of the reorganization committee of
the Democratic executive committee of
this county, summary of which was
presented in this department of The
Herald yesterday morning. 1t is safe
to say that such an epitome Of real re-
forms has never before been urged upon
the people of this section by any party
or organization.
In the whole range of recommended
tions, from national and state affairs to
the problems Of municipal government,
there is nothing to which every citizen
of Los Angeles county, be he Democrat,
Republican or Populist, if he has the best
interests of the community at heart, may
not cheerfully subscribe. The reforms
urged are entirely non-partisan in char
acter, except as they refer to matters in
side the Democratic organization, such
as the conduct and record of Democrat
ic officials.
1t is, however, the plain province and
mission of the Democratic party, as the
party of the people and Of honest reform,
to take the initiative in turning the shad-
ow of recommendation into the substance
of reform. The county executive COM
mittee has proved that it is alive to the

His More Mature Thoughts

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
noticed young Americans" letter in The
Herald, objecting to an Angio-American
alliance, and would say that 1, too. had the
same ideas when first left school. There
Is no question but that the influence of the
ordinary school textbook treatment of the
causes that led up to the war OF the Ameri-
can revolution is responsible for Anglo
phobia In young men of this country. and
1t is much to be deplored.
England today is the only democratic
country on the globe that could be OF as
sistance to us in case Of war. and It is
approaching a national crime for any one
to utter sentiments that may make such
an alliance impossible. 1t is true we would
have no trouble in disposing of Spain, but
where would we be with a coalition Of
Austria, Germany, Russia and France
against us? And such a coalition of the
autocratic governments against us as the
representative democracy is certainly not
by any means an impossibility. This is the
era Of combinations, and an isolated ma
ton is lost. admit that an Anglo -Ameri-
can alliance is as important to England
as to us, but, even II 1t were Of infinitely
more Importance to her than to us, that
would be no reason for our rejecting It,
We cannot discuss allying ourselves with
an autocracy, and we must look for some
alliance In the near future, and what
country but England is among the posi-
bilities? I am by no means English In my
sentiments, owing to birth, as all my an
cestors are American I had ideas shortly
ago quite in consonance with young
American" but have outgrown them with
the advance of time. j. 8. D.

AGAIN ON THE BRINK

It once again begins to look as though
"the days Of peace and slumberous calm
are fed" or at least that the wings are
being adjusted to flight, for we have now
the most positive assurance, more or less
weighted with official sanction, that be-
fore the week shall close the president
will have submitted to congress special
message on the Cuban question, accom-
panying it with the long-withheld re-
ports of the consuls and commercial
agents of the government as to the con-
ditions on the island and the effects Of
the Spanish war policy upon the people
and their Industries; with the report Of
the naval court of inquiry regarding the
cause of the destruction Of the battleship
Maine, together. doubtless, with state
ment Of what the executive departments
of the government have accomplished in
the way of placing the country in
condition for effective defense. And all
of this will doubtless be supplemented,
either with suggestions and recon-
mendations regarding the duty Of the
United States, as viewed by the execu-
tive, or by a formal surrender of the
presidential prerogative to the judgment
and the discretion Of the direct repre-
sentatives of the people, for such action
as they may see fit to take.
This consummation need not neces-
sarily mean war.
1,a< <oly onnr1,1ciVo fhQ 4
diplomacy has utterly failed, or that it
will be abandoned in the interest Of
peace.
1t will, nevertheless. be tantamount to
an ultimatum, from which the country
may not with honor recede. and which
Spain will reject at her peril.
The approach to this eminence of
crisis has not been without deliberation
and prayerful consideration. President.
congress and people have weighed the
responsibilities, countedIthe cost and dis
counted the consequences. They have
never once lost sight Of the injunction.
Beware
OF entrance to a quarrel; but, being in,
Bear t that the opposed may beware of
thee.
Never had country cause more just.
Never was nation better equipped for
engaging in armed contention for the
right.
Never was a people more willing to
make sacrifices for great principle.
But
We all yet hope war may be averted.'
We all trust that eternal justice may
triumph without further bloodshed.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL

It is probable that only very limited
number of people now living in this coun-
try are able to even approximately real
ize the conditions existing in Cuba, which
newspaper men, federal consuls, sena-
tors, congressman and agents of the
American Red Cross have vainly endeav-
ored to depict. The policy of concentra-
tion and wholesale starvation on the is
land has, perhaps, no parallel.
All of the surviving veterans of the
war, however, will have little diff
Guilty in appreciating the superficial
effects of three years of gier-
lila warfare upon Cuba, for they saw the
fairest land the sun ever shone upon laid
waste, the net results of hundred years
Of civilizing influences swept away, a
prosperous people impoverished, and ev-
cry essential utility for development and
progress destroyed. Before the war
closed almost the entire country, from
the Red river of the south to the Florida
reefs, and from Sabine pass to the fair
Shenandoah valley, had been laid waste;
houses and barns and fences had been
burned, implements removed, bridges
destroyed, railroads and telegraph lines
torn up, trees and plants and grass ef-
faced, and the whole face of nature des-
olated. One might travel for hundreds
of miles through once populous and
prosperous country without seeing SOL
itary reminder of animal or vegetable
life; not a single human being, horse,
COW, dog or fowl, and only here and there
the crumbling ruin of former happy
home or the charred walls of flourish
ing school or college-the whole ensemble
the "abominaton of desolation.'
There was, doubtless. much suffering
among the southern people, much of pri-
walton and distress, but when the worst
is told of what transpired in the sunny
southland during those four years of
blood and carnage, it doubtless falls
short of paralleling the horrors of Wey-
lerism in Cuba today.

CHARTER-MAKING AGAIN

In San Francisco the business OF
charter-making is proceeding along
nearly the same lines as those laid down
by the various organizations that have
taken up the work in Los Angeles. The
Oakland Enquirer, having criticised the
plan much as the Times of this city crit
icised the Los Angeles way, the San
Francisco Star says:
The Oakland Enquirer. commenting
on the Los Angeles plan of having all
parties and some prominent organiza-
tions represented in the proposed board
of charter freeholders. says that is
a good method IL the object is to get in
all sorts, but not very good way, we
should say. If the object is to secure
a practical working board, which can
agree with itself and accomplish some-
thing" On the contrary, 1t is just the
way to get a charter that will please
everybody as nearly as that can be
done. The board of freeholders here
was constituted on a similar principle,
and, while its charter does not alto
gether "agree with ITSELF on all'points.
the lines of disagreement are not CO.
terminous with party lines.
1t is by no means impossible for any
exclusive or special committee to frame
a charter that shall possess many points
of excellence, and be just and fair to all
classes and interests; but it is another
thing to instill the fullest confidence re-
garding it into the public mind. The
impression is general that as a city
charter affects all classes, all classes,
broadly speaking, should have voice
in constructing 1t.
1t is upon this plan that the Los An
geles organization is proceeding, and 1t
should be given a fair chance. 1t ought
not to be condemned in advance.

MAll Fool's Nirhtw

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
see 1t 10 announced by the committee
of thirty that 1t has decided that ''all-fools
night shall not be considered . part Of the
Fiesta. and shall not have q place on the
program" The language used IL diplomat
ic, to say the least. The committee does not
say nor clearly convey the idea that there
Is to be no ''all-fools' night" as an out
growth of the Fiesta. In saying the Fiesta
shall close on Saturday afternoon. the COM
mittee stops short and leaves US in doubt
as to Saturday night.
I understand that large amount OF the
money subscribed IL from wholesale and
retail liquor dealers. and they have sub
scribed 1t with the distinct understanding
that the last night Of the carnival shall
be held for their benefit. They do not care
whether the night is under the auspices Of
the Fiesta or not. All they ask Is to run
open that night, and we know what that
means by the experience of the past
Now, what we want to know is whether
che city authorities are going to license
that night as q great debauch, such as
has characterised previous carnivals. II
they are, then the good people of the city
will be asked to withhold their contribu-
tions. There are several Objectionable
features to the Fiesta proper that ought to
be eliminated. but for the outrageous prac-
tices of the last night, as hitherto con-
Quoted. there is no excuse whatever in a
civilized community. Let the community
be assured by the committee and the city
authorities that Saturday night shall not
be turned into a masked and drunken de-
bauch, whether under the management of
the Fiesta committee or not. and am sure
that opposition will be withdrawn.
