with which to surprise their husbands"

REFoRESTING IN CALIFORNIA

The forestry bureau Of the federal department of
agriculture has sent to The Herald paper of much
terest concerning the forests of California From the
data thus furnished it appears that than one
fifth of the states area is forest covered comprising
2S,000000 Nearly onethrd this vast area is
contained in government reservations The government
has in force for protecting reserves SO far
as practicable with the available, but a problem
OF moment is presented in respect to the
ing twothirds of the forest area
Protection OF all the forest acreage state is of
paramount Importance as means of water conserva-
ton in the semiard sections and for the abatement of
flood disasters in other portions Much has been done
in this direction, but the work is only in it's infancy
For what has been accomplished already the forestry
bureau compliments the state saying "public SEN
tment favor of forest protection in California al.
ways has been we'll in advance of that in other states
The state authorities cooperating with the
federal forestry bureau in the effort to out feast
Bile policy of protection but the problem beset with
many difficulties. The question of cost is a primary
obstacle In vast almost any practical effort
seems hopeless. The subject is of such immense i'm
porance, however that the work must be prosecuted
to the limit of available resources.
The forestry bureau is now engaged in formulating
plan of cooperation covering federal state and pri.
vate interests in the forest is hoped that by
making the state fire laws complete and securing
the aid of lumbermen and other owners in safeguarding
the forests a marked decrease in damage from that
will result.
In addition to the efforts for saving the forests from
fires it is proposed to start reforesaon on an extern
sve scale not only by cultivation of forest
trees but also by spreading the growth chapparal
and other underground.

NEW TEMPERANCE CRUSADE

If the Prohibition alliance carries out it's program
fully there will be the veest temperance crusade
witnessed in Los Angeles. departure is outlined
for the effort which expected to culmnate in the
early spring.
The plan involves a house to house canvass of the
whole city preliminary step in order to ascertain
the views of every citizen the issue of cleaning
the liquor traffic of Angeles completely. The propo-
and twig but to stop all sales of liquors in hotels
taurants and presumably drug store speak easies"
1t will be interesting, certainly, to know the out
of the proposed canvass of public opinion the
question of absolute prohibition within the city limits.
Leading promoters of the movement claim that the
sentiment of citizens outside the saloon is quite
generally in favor of prohibition while within the
there is large class in favor Of the proposition Con-
fdence is expressed, therefore, that test vote of
citizens large majority would favor complete sup
preston of the liquor business in every form.
In order to have any reasonable prospect of sue
cess however, it is obvious that the jealous friends of
prohibition shall not only get together at the but
that they stick together until the end This observa-
friction the very beginning that while the
Prohibition alliance demands clean sweep of the
liquor business the AntiSaloon league another temper
organization, insists training all the temper
artillery upon the saloons.
1t is said behalf Of the movement that 80
per cent Of arrests made by the police within the
saloon district Hence the argument that if liquor sell
ing abolished entirely there would be a minimum
of crime and the city would be clearly entitled to
its angelic distinction.

LEGISLATURE VIEWED AM SHORT RANGE

The Herald's sharp criticism of the shameful graft
arrangement in the legislature the 6rst day Of
the session not Influenced in the least by partisan
considerations. The Herald is a horoughgong Demo.
cratic newspaper but it makes no partisan distinction
where official rectude is concerned It is pleasing
notice. therefore, that The Heralds arraignment of the
legislature account of the clership graft is
than paraleed by the Sacramento Union the exponent
Of the Republican party at the state capital.
In its consideration of the disreputable scheme of
public plunder referred to- the Union begins by aludng
to the preponderance of Republican members in each
branch Of the Legislature. There thirty-fve Re
pubcans to five Democrats in the senate and seventy
six Republicans to four Democrats in the assembly.
This overwhelming influence, the Union points out,
places the whole legislative responsibility upon the Re-
publican party
On reaching the deal whereby patronage" was d-
vded to provide places the public crib for 400
legislative camp followers the Union says "The fact
that such allowance has been made is known Of
to every friend to every political hanger-on, to every
shameless beggar for favor and to vast army of the
chronicaly imnrovident in whose creed it is entirely
legitimate to feed upon the state" And from the Sac
ramento viewpoint told that 'ft is common OBJ.
seryaton that the very hour the patronage allowance
determined upon marks the onslaught of hungry
of taxeaters."
This grilling of the legislature by newspaper in
touch with it, representing the party which sent nearly
all the members to the state capitol is astonishing
spectacle Coming from such source, the caustc
is intensified because it surely would be
administered but for the garng reproach the Repub
can party, well the infamous outrage upon the
taxpayers of California.
And these Legislators, who placing horde
of partisan tramps within reach of the state treasury
the men who in the election campaign
prating about legislative honesty and swearing with
uplfted hand that they would give the state honest
economic and faithful service if they elected
members of the Legislature.

Misunderstood

At the Inauguration of DIR. Flavel $.
Luther, the new president Of Trinity
college, student said:
IT want to tell you about a mishap
that befell DR.. Luther one morning last
month.
"He boarded one of our Hartford
street cars, rode u mile or so with his
eyes fixed on his newspaper and close
on the end of his journey looked up and
spied one OF his students crumpled in
corner.
1.-THE student was in a wretched
plight. His clothing was stained, his
linen soiled, his hair unbrushed. His
face was pallid and his eyes were
ploodshot and dull He looked i'll: he
looked a wreck; and it was easy to see
what the trouble was.
'Dr. Luther, fresh and vigorous from
his bath and his good breakfast, arose
to get off. AS he passed the unclean
student he said, grimly:
"'Been on a drunk?'

languidly toward DR.. Luther, and IN a
dull and listless voice the young man

NO COLLARS BUT LINEN
FOR SANTA FE TRAINMEN
ceIIuIoId and Rubber Relegated TO the
Ash Heap-conduetor Must
pe Nattv

% NNdAy
Passengers on trains Of the Santa Fe
railroad will be mortified and humil-
lated no longer by seeing conductors
and brakemen calmly remove their
celluloid collars preparatory to giving
them their daily baths. The awful Of
fense condoned by high officials has
been relegated to the past and by de-
cree NO. 81 either the collars or their
wearers must go.
10. A. Austin, trainmaster of the
Santa Fe at Topeka, has decided that
such practices lower the standard OF
the trainmen and give the road n bad
reputation, so away with the rubber
and celluloid which in many cases have
done faithful service for years at a
time.
This is only one of the many recent
rules by which the road would give it's
trainmen a better appearance, and wise
employees in the future will carry
that their locks are carefully combed
and their cravats at the proper angle.
Trainmen who are anxious for ad-
vancement will do we'll to ,accustom
themselves to dress suits in the event
of a sudedn order from headquarters
for the adoption of this attire for night
trains.
The collar mandate, following the
rule whereby the company reserves
the right to notify its employees at any
time whether their coats wrinkle in
the back or their trousers are cut ac-
cording to the latest decree of fashion,
is creating anxiety among the train
men.
