"Corset Cancer"

Several cases Of what is called "cor-
set cancer" are reported. 1t occurs in
women who are obliged to use inces-
sanity the right arm in their work
the whole day long, the growth ap-
pearing at the site of the greatest
friction, i.e., just above the upper edge
of the corset. One woman so affected
was employed in fur factory. heI
work being to scrape the fur of rab-
bits skin with blunt knife so as to
make all the hairs of uniform length.
Another woman had been employed in
a laundry ironing clothes. Cancer
would not occur IN these cases unless
there was a predisposition to II. yet it
might be well for women who are
obliged to use their arms in con-
stant toand-fro movement at their
work not to wear corset when so
employed.

Many of the miners who reside
in the city will vote against the
Republican ticket, not that they
are opposed particularly to the
candidates, but because they un-
derstand that the election of any
member on the ticket will mean a
vote for a man who will favor the
retention of the present city clerk
and that is something they don't
want by any means. The feeling
against Mr.. Sullivan by the work
ing classes is very bitter on ac-
count of the stand he took in sup
porting Peabody last fall and the
assistance he afterwards lent, as
far as it was in his power to do so,
in endeavoring to have the war gov
ernor seated, despite the efforts and
desires of the people of the state,
especially in this city and county,
to the contrary. The gentleman
favored and approved of every un-
fair and improper act of the legis-
lature in deposing Alva Adams,
the man who was honestly elected.
Not only that, but during the
troublous period of Peabody's mill
tary reign, he was heartily in ac-
cord with the unlawful tactics of
the militia in deporting peaceable
and hard working miners, and in
lieu of all this the working people
OF this community are thoroughly
justified in not only not voting the
Republican ticket. but getting out
and doing all in their power for the
success of the Democratic candi-
dates.

There are three aspirants for the
appointment of city attorney in
case the Republicans are success
full in electing enough men to con-
troll the council with the three
hold-overs they already have. These
are w. c. Matthews, w. G. Fuller
ton and Edgar Withrow. The first
named of the trio is a Sullivan
man and has the backing of the
big chief for the position, and in
case Sullivan elects enough of the
aldermanic nominees to give him
control of the board, Matthews is
to be the next city attorney with
out fail. Mr.. Fullerton, who is
looking for re-appointment, out
who is not putting forth much
effort to procure it, feeling that in
asmuch as he is a Republican and
has rendered satisfactory service
during his incumbency, it is only
to be expected that he would be
chosen to succeed himself, and for
that reason he has displayed no
anxiety about the matter, being
wholly unconscious of the scheme
of the Sullivan following to pass
him by. Mr.. Withrow is also a
good Republican, but as he does
not bear the endorsement of the
Sullivan forces, his chances of re-
ceiving the appointment are no
better than Mr.. Fullerton's. His
only nope lies in the partial cleo
tion of the two tickets in which
case he could possibly swing
enough votes to give him the ap-
pointment. Considering the mat
ter in the abstract, with Mr.. Full
lerton pre- ctically out of the race,
Mr.. Withrow stands better show
of receiving the appointment than
his opponent, Mr. Matthews. Of
course, the foregoing is based on
the supposition that the Republi-
cans may elect n part Of their ticket,
which while possible is by no
means probable, Judging from the
situation at the present time, and
in that event the appointment
would be given to some good and
capable Democrat.

In the Figaro of last week were
published some interesting statistics
relating to the dramatic fare present
ed at the Comedie Franchise since it's

of Moliere received 20,949 representa-
tions. Racine came next with G.337.

for Regnard, Voltaire. Marivaux and

The caustic editorial paragraphs
of the Observer last week, oppos-
ing the election of the Republican
ticket for the reason that it would
mean the re-appointment of a CO.
terie of chronic office-holders who
long ago should have vacated their
position at the bung hole of the
public barrel, struck like Japanese
bombs in a Russian port. They
created a lively commotion. Boss
Sullivan, tho Kuropatkin of the
Republican forces, summoned all
the stalwarts together to agree
upon some plan of action. The
editor of the other paper was hur-
ried to the scene and instructed,
or rather ordered, to turn loose his
battering ram, stampede the ene-
my, and if possible save the day
for the Republicans. He cut loose
with few eructions of "hot ail"
of bombastic nature, and the
hemorrhage was something awful.
We would undertake to answer the
attack of our decrepit opponent at
length in proper manner were it
not for the fact that we have too
much respect for old age and in
trinity to give the matter other

A report was current on the

to the effect that Fred Bowden,
the Republican nominee for alder
man of the Third ward had with

elected were utterly hopeless inso,

and Moon property in Clear Creek

the voters to support his candidacy

so it is claimed, rendered his de-
clination, but the individual re-
sponsible for his nomination would
not listen to it. We understand
now from reliable source that the
ce-holders to whose interests il
is to elect Mr.. Bowden, intend to
have him move back to his resi-
dence in the Fourth ward just be-
fore election so that they can deny
the report that he is nonresident

be in position to attend the meet

A CRUEL WRONG.

The Denver News of Saturday
morning in commenting editorially
on the counties that would be de-
prived of direct representation in
the Legislature in case the reap
portionment measure becomes a
law speaks of the position Gilpin
and Clear Creek counties are
placed in and expresses sympathy.
The following is the editorial
spoken of
"Pueblo county, the second coun-
ty in the state, is deprived of di-
rect representation by the corpora
ton apportionment bill. 1t is
tioated for two senators and four
representatives with Huerfano
county, where the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company is ready to turn
out 1000 fraudulent majority to
override the will of the people of
Pueblo. Not single senator or
representative will be elected by
Pueblo county alone. What is
true of Pueblo is equally true Of
the fine old counties of Gilpin and
Clear Creek, which have been pre-
eminently the continuous wealth
producers of Colorado since 1859,
and which are inhabited by as fine
people as live in any state in the
Union. Not single senator or
representative in their own choice
will be elected to the legislature
by either Gilpin or Clear Greek
county. To the senate one senator
will be elected by Jefferson and
Clear Greek counties combined,
and one senator will be elected by
Jefferson, Clear Greek, Gilpin and
Boulder counties. Gilpin has no
share in any other senator. Its
senatorial membership will be one
fourth of one senator. To the
house one member will be elected
by Jefferson and Clear Creek
counties, and one member by jeff
erson and Gilpin counties. The
Jefferson machine, controlled by
Richard Broad in the interest of
Guggenheim, is supposed to be
strong enough not only to run
jefferson county, but to decide
who shall sit to represent Gilpin
and Clear Greek counties. Gilpin
and Clear Creek counties are the
oldest mining counties in the state
and among the most substantial
and progressive. Both are the seat
of large enterprises. idaho Springs,
Central City, Georgetown, Black
Hawk and numerous other thriv-
ing towns and cities are included
within their borders. But under
the corporation plan now being
forced through the Legislature un-
der whip and spur neither county
is c.assed as fit to elect senator
or member to the general assem-
bly,. Their injured people have
right to enter protest of the most
vigorous kind"

GET TOGETHER AGAIN

The sharp contest over the public utility ordinance
was merely conflict of Judgment.
On one side Of that conflict was arrayed the mayor
and the local press Tin varying degree) except The
Herald The interests of the lighting and telephone
companies involved that sIde Of course and so
were those of certain other corporations Indirectly
On the other side stood the solid council backed
practically by the whole community with The Herald in
the role Of sole newspaper exponent.
Now that the contest is ended It is proper TO
that the single of Judgment the part of the
mayor, he must IT, does not neces-
sarily involve any further friction between the execu
tive and legislative branches of the city government
The mayor was wrong in the position he took, ac-
cordng to the Judgment of the council and of the
whole community. His good intentions have not been
called in question AS "one swallow does not make
summer" official mistake does not portend the
failure of municipal administration.
The present situation concerning the relations be-
tween the mayor and the council recalls Mahomes OBJ
servaton when the mountain failed to respond to his
command to come hither" "If the mountain will not

tain In the local the mayor has the role of
Mahomet and the council that of the mountain.

to give the city the best that in him. according to
his promise He had the approval of The Herald after
his occupancy of the executive office down to the time
when he baked at the utility ordinance Because of his
obvious blunder in Judgment that issue The Herald
opened strenuous attack upon his position and fol-

But with that incident closed there is why
the mayor and the council should not work together

PREDICTIONS THAT FAILED

Predictions that the location of a library building
in Central park would be detrimental to property in
terests thereabout have proved very wide of the
mark Instead of depreclatng values the library pros
pect has caused marked upward movement
Property facing the park has advanced greatly in
price since the library site question was settled and
several high class improvements projected there
Some of the most sagacious estate investors be-
lieve that the little park will become great focus OF
the city's activity and that its start will be largely at
trbutable to the location there the city library
Prior to the agitation of the library site question
there had been no improvement of property ON the
surrounding line for many years. Within the few
months since the decision made, however there
have been property changes that line which will
completely transform the whole appearance
1t seems quite evident now that the tardness of
development before resulted from the need of
that the park would not be maintained permanently as
a tramporium. The class of persons who freouented
it, by day and night had deterrent influence ON prop
erty purchases and improvements.
There is no longer any good reason why the neces
sary steps should not be taken at TO erect the
library building The city gives assurance that
the municipal will this year be about 100000
more than it was last year The time is ripe there
fore for pushing the library enterprise 10 conclusion
The for building the structure will not grow on
bushes, nor should Los Angeles beg for 1t from

library building that It's people be proud Of and can
AFFORD It now.

NEXT STEP IN LIGHTING REFORM

AS the regulation of gas and electric lighting service
will under direct municipal control, it is i'm
portant to take look ahead along that line.
Such regulation will be experience for the city
officials. The proper management of it involves nti
knowledge Of the manufacture and service of
and electric illuminants. The two lines radically
different in all respects, and the degree of of
municipal control will depend largely the capabty
and technical knowledge of the persons entrusted with
the regulation of them.
An idea of the intricate nature of such business is
afforded in the experience in that line of the Massachu
setts Gas and Electric Light commission. In the first
place it is shown by the commission that gas
pany except when under the closest expert supervision
may defraud the public outrageously. The standard
gas Massachusetts is clearly defined by law five
foot burner for instance must furnish sixteen candle
power There must not be than twenty grains of
sulphur grains of ammonia per hundred feet and
there must be no sulphureted hydrogen
But official tests, reported in Massachusetts,
"stow wide range of candle power in the gas fur
nished Gas from crude oil, which is the kind get
in Los Angeles lis produced with as much as sixty
by addition of air vapor. Where there
no legal standard there is limit to the addition of
adulterants The commission has found gas testing
Al candle power which, of course could be sold
at onethird price gas greater
profit"
evident therefore, that If the people of Los An
geles get full benefit that should be derived from
the ordinance they will have to be represented by
officials fully match for the experienced monoposts.
That will be no easy task.
Unless regulation of the lighting placed
in the hands of thoroughly honest and capable
the ordinance may bear only Dead fruit.

not possible by primitive panning

is to tested will yield S5 cents in gold the ton
That would not be paying proposition by any method
that has been operated heretofore in placer mining
1t is claimed for the process, however that yield
only 25 cents of gold to the ton will put the business
on paying basis That is plausible in view of the fact
that dredging for gold is operated successfully
on a still margin.
AS the supply of raw material" for the process
is practically inexhausble the experiment soon to be
made will be watched with much interest The parties
interested in the plant represented being we'll
versed In the business they have undertaken and they
manifest the utmost confidence In the outcome
