CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONS

The old nam fer Los Angeles
was GEL Puebao ~ Nuestra Sc
nora la Reina de Los Angeles .
That was in the old Spanish day
when the people had time for
such things. To-day they hardly
have time to say Los Angeles
and the same Is frequently abbre-
waited to Angeles.
Los Angeles is a very busy
place. tbs pretty near as large
as Denver and is certainly grow
ing rapidly. II is said that the
reports of building inspectors
show that more building was
done in Los Angeles last year
than in any one of the otEer %
largest cities of the country.
There is, l am sure, more build;
ing going on now in Los Angeles
than l ever saw in any other city,
large or small. All kinds OF
Eastern capital is coming here
and the place will undoubtedly
be great city.

There is not so much to see
around San Diego as at Los An-
geles. There are, however, 4
number Of interesting drives.
There's the Old Mission put up
in 1869 and the first one built in
California; Old Town, built by
the Spaniards more than 4 hum
dred years ago, and the home in
which Ramona is said to have
been married; Point Iona, from
which Charles Dudley Warner
says are of the three greatest
views in the world is to be had;
and trip by stage to Old Mexi-
co, which is only few hours
drive from San Diego.
1t is, however the Hotel del
Coronado and Coronado beach
that takes more people to San
Diego than anything else. The
Hotel del Coronado which is one
of the largest and finest in Cali
fornia is situated on little arm
of land almost entirely sur
rounded by the sea. The hotel
will accommodate 500 or 600 peo-
pie and it is full most of the
time. 1t has a beach several
miles long which in the summer
time is full of bathers.

ten years the average has only
been about eight inches. Al
Canon City we get about twelve

forty to fifty inches. In the

In one part of Los Angeles
they will show you a neighbor-
hood where no one may build
without putting $50, 900 in the
house. In Pasadena, about 19
miles out from Los Angeles, on
Orange Grove Ave, there are
many homes of this class and
some, no doubt, cost a great deal
more. In Hollywood, swell'lit-
tie rural suburb, there are many
handsome residences, many of
them being located in orange
groves of several acres. Here the
famous painter, Paul de Longpre,
has IA most charming home sur
rounded by fields of flowers and
orange groves. J. H. Maupiu, of
Canon, was greatly taken with this
locality, ard it wouldn't surprise
me if some day he owns a private
home in Hollywood.
It takes about thirty-five min
utes and twenty-five cents to ride
on the electric cars over to the
ocean. There are several beaches
with small towns, where one can
get any kind of accommodation
from ten cent lunch to a fur
nished house. There are big ho-
tells over there. l liked Santa
Monica very much, and wish l
could have spent week sitting
in the sand and the sun on the
beach, just watching the breakers
come in. l never took much to
bathing, and don't know whether
! would get the habit as bad as
they say here L. x. Kohlman did
or not, but l would like mighty
well to have about thirty days
trial at it. The families of L. x.
Kohlman and w. H. Dozier have
each spent seasons at this beach.
Canon people who are spending
vacations on the coast and want
to get most of the new life for
their money should go direct to
the beach here or at San Diego
and either engage hotel accom-
modations or take a furnished
cottage. Los Angeles and the
other big cities on the coast are
all right, but after all you don't
see much in them that can't be
seen in Denver and any eastern
city. This season of the year is
a little early to enjoy the sea
bathing, but from April on it
must be glorious on the beach.
San Diego has the reputation
of having the best climate in
California, and l think it nm
doubtedly is warm in winter
and moderately cool in summer
with about the same amount Of
of rainfall we have in Canon
City. The city is situated on a
large beautiful bay and harbor,
which some day may help give
the place much more commercial
Importance.
San Diego is city of about
900 people. 1t had a boom
twelve or fifteen years ago from
which it suffered for many years
but is now fully recovered .and is
having good healthy growth.
With better railroad facilities

LET Us MAINTAIN ORDER

with more than two thousand wage
workers on a strike there is ground for
serious apprehension in the community
Of disturbance and disorder that may
eliminate I'm mob violence. In UGH n
critical period It behooves everybody
concerned in the controversy between
labor and capital to keep cool and re-
frain from all talk and action that is
liable to intensity excitement or provoke
lawlessness.
Moderation and f~orbearance on both
sides will lead to a peaceful adjustment
Of conditions at an early day. Mutual
elimination and abuse will widen the
breach and put Off a peaceful settle
ment for an indefinite period. AS a true
friend Of labor The Bee would above
all caution the striking wage workers
to refrain from any action that would
lead to a breach Of the peace and place
them in the attitude of law-breakers.
Whatever the ~provocation may be, the
men who have gone out on a strike
should refrain from personal violence
and from damaging or destroying
property. In every conflict between or
ganized labor and organized capital,
where wage workers have resorted to
violence they have not only suffered the
loss Of public sympathy, but were gen
orally unsuccessful in securing the con.
cessions for which they were striving.
On the other hand, It is equally ad.
visable for employers to abstain from
any attempt that would insult and hui
initiate their former employees and pro
woke sympathetic strikes by working
men who are not directly concerned.

matter that should certainly have the
serious consideration Of railroad men
AN END TO vsURPArrox.

. Now that the supreme court has af-
hrmed the validity Of the Savage police
and fire commission it becomes the
duty Of Mayor Moores to participate
with the board in It's deliberations and
assume his rightful and legal position
as chief c~onservator Of law and order
within the city of Omaha.
AS chairman Of the board 1t will be
his duty and privilege to preside over
the meetings of the board and enforce
the orders of the board so far as they
relate to It's legitimate functions. In re-
lieving w. j. Broatch of the acting
craftsmanship Of the board Mayor
Moores win put an end to the arrogant
%usurpation Of power by which Broatch
has sought to terrorlze people with the
police club and has even attempted to
interfere with the election machinery,
which under the law is exclusively en-
trusted to election officers.
The usurpations Of Broatch and his
associates of the police board are self
confessed and matters of court record.
In the appeal to the district court for a
writ of mandamus ordering the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners to en-
force the Slocumb law w. J. Broatch,
Carl @. Wright and the other mem
bers of the board have made this plea:
"Said respondents further show the
court that they have no authority by
law and it is not made their duty to
take any action or steps whatever In re-
lation to the enforcement Of the provi-
sions of the law set forth In the said
writ, except to hear and determine COM
plants which may be made before said
board, and that their duties In such mat
tiers are purely judicial and not subject
to the control Of this court"
This plea of the police commission was
sustained by the court as eminently
sound. The fire and police commission
is the creature of the charter, and under
the provisions of the charter its func-
tions are limited to the appointment, re-
moval and discipline of members of the
fire and police departments and to the
granting of liquor licenses. Beyond this
the board has no control. But In def.
ance Of the law members of the board
have not only opened and closed saloons
at pleasure, but ordered liquor dealers
to p%atronize favored breweries.
The mayor alone as chief executive is
charged with the enforcement Of the
laws and ordinances relating to the
liquor traffic. The mayor alone as CHIEF
executive is clothed with power ant
charged with the responsibility Of the
maintenance Of law and order. In thai
sphere the police commission cannot
legally intervene, and any attempt t.
usurp executive functions by members
of the board is unwarranted and in vic
lation of the spirit and letter of the law

THE BOY.

]. C. Stewart in st. Joseph Gazette.
The barefoot boy is coming and right now
he has the blues,
Because his cautious mother will not let
him shed his shoes.
He's anxious for the freedom of the bare
foot boy at dawn,
who does not have to bother with the foot
wear girls put on.
He wants to wade in water every morning
when he goes
To school with other youngsters, and get
mud between his toes.
The barefoot boy is coming. and, ere long,
he will be here,
With feet as tough and dirty as they could
be made. l fear.
He'll have stone bruises on them and will
oft be walking lame,
And yet you may be certain he'll be happy
Just the same.
He'll stub a toe quite often. yet a little
thing like that

A RAD RECORD.

The bulletin just issued by the In
terstate Commerce commission, giving
statistics Of railroad accidents during
the last three months of 1902, makes
a very bad record, indicating a laxity
somewhere which calls loudly for rem
edy. The bulletin opens with the state
ment that the number Of persons killed
in train accidents during the period COW
cred was 266 and of injured 2,7SS. Ac-
cidents OF other kinds, including those
sustained by employees while at work,
and by passengers in getting on or off
the cars, bring the total number of
casualties up to 12,S11-93S killed and
11,S73 injured. A comparison of this
quarter with the same quarter of last
year shows large increases in most
items, except passengers and employees
killed in train accidents. There were
2,T59 collisions and derailments in the
three months, many Of which were due
TO gross carelessness and others to q
defective system in the method Of regu
lating the movement of railroad trains
