SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN OPENS

While in his home town, Green
wood last Tuesday Governor James
K. Vardaman announced that he
would be candidate for the United
States Senate This was the first
time the announcement came from di-
rect authority to the people, and his
candidacy will bring about one of the
strongest political battles ever fought
in Mississippi, his opponent being the
Hon, John Sharp Williams, the leader
of the minority, and one of the most
honored and gifted sons of Mississip-
pi. In commenting upon the candid
acy of these honorable gentlemen, the
Greenwood Enterprise, which comes
out in no uncertain terms for the Gov
ernor, has the following to say;
Congressman John Sharp Viii
liams is an avowed candidate for the
United States Senate. 1t has been
generally understood that he would
be in the race, but the first authorita-
tive statement came last Saturday at
Hazlehurst, where Mr. Williams de-
livered speech in behalf of the
Southern Cotton Growers Associa-
ton. In this connection, however,
it is fair to say that the announce
ment was not made in speech, but
to the correspondent of the CONNER
cial-Appeal, who asked the distin-
guished Democratic Leader the dj-
rect question.
The Enterprise will support Gov
ernor Vardaman, believing him to be
the logical successor of Senator Mon
ey, and there is no doubt in our mind
that he will defeat Mr. Williams by a
handsome majority when the sover-
eign citizens of Mississippi come to
pass judgment anent the relative fit
ness of the two aspirants.
Mr.. Williams is an able man AS
Leader OF the Democratic minority ir
Congress he has been credit to the
party and source of genuine pride
to the people of Mississippi, who have
had frequent cause to applaud his
achievements.
Governor Vardaman is equally able
He is more vigorous and aggressive
AS Governor of the State>he has sur
prised his enemies, and has conducted
the affairs of that office in such man
ner as to win the lasting gratitude o
all Mississippians.
Thus far, honors are even.
Both are big men, and both are dc
stined to go still higher in the service:

Mrs. Florence Kelley, one of the most
prominent workers for the abolition OF
child labor in America, was entertained
at luncheon yesterday by Madame
Caroline M. Severance of West Adams
street, and later in the afternoon she
talked informally to a company or
friends Of Madame Severance who were
asked to meet her.
Mrs. Kelley is an authority on crimes
against children. At present she has
her headquarters in Chicago, but her
work carries her to all points from the
Atlantic coast to the Pacific. AS
prison inspector Mrs. Kelley has gone
through many thrilling experiences, and
some of these she recounted yesterday
in her informal talk. In the morning she
made a tour of the districts In which
the larger number of the Los Angeles
moor are located and told of scenes of
poyerty of which few Angelenos know
anything.
Mrs. Kelley says that crime against
children is young in Los Angeles but
there are the beginnings of it and these
must be fought.
Today she will speak at the Venice
assembly.

HUMAN FOOTPRINT
AND PETRIFIED SNAKES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22.-Editor
Herald: The article published in this
mornings Herald relating to human
footprint 10000 years old being found
in the coal measures at Pottsville, Pa,
and "petrified snakes" sounds fishy to
geologist. A presumably Ignorant
workman found the footprint in the
coal beds and dumped 1t into a coal
wagon, where, of course, it was lost.
The dispatch doesn't say on what the
chronology Of 10000 years was founded,
but it most likely originated in the fer
tile imagination of the reporter. Then
this whole jack o. lantern story is
based upon the remembrance of an ig-
norant man who threw the imprint
away.
According to geologists and physi-
cists the coal measures Of Pennsyl-
vania are millions of years old instead
Of few thousand.
Then comes the "petrified snakes" of
the same deposits. There are no such
things found there or elsewhere. Flesh
can no more petrify than air or water.
Petrifaction Is substitution. AS the
infinitesimal particles of the petrifying
substance decays, silica or the carbon
ate of lime takes it's place. The pro-
cess is slow, extending over many
years usually. There is not an authen-
ticated case on record Of the petrifac-
tion of human flesh, the flesh of
snakes, fishes or any other kind of
flesh. Wood, bones, shells and other
hard substances petrify under proper
conditions; flesh never. Petrifaction
usually takes place in water holding
silica or some form Of lime in solution.
Volcanic ashes and other ejecta some
times become agents in petrifaction.
The so-called human footprints" in
the sandstone deposits near Carson.
New, which created such stir in the
newspapers a few years ago, I found
on examination to be the footprints of
some animal belonging to the ancient
sloth family In the same deposit
examined the footprints Of the masto-
don, ancient horse, saber-toothed tiger,
and several other animals but no foot
prints of man. And here 1 wish to
say that up to this date no one has
found the remains of man that he has
been able to prove antidates the Mo-
sale story of creation, nor is he likely
to do so. STEPHEN BOW WEhS'

BUSINESS AT SEASIDE RESORTS

Never in the history of seaside there
been summer unfavorable the present one for
the business of those who cater to pleasureeekers
All these resorts attractive and allurng
than before Immense of money have been
expended within the last year in making them all that
could be desired by visitors efforts to please
have met with response by crowds of people have
hoced to the seaside all through the present season.
But If the weather this summer had been warmer
the at the beach resorts would have sweed to
vastly greater proportions Los Angeles itself has been
drawback thus far. to the cities at the seaside This
city has been ideal summer resort throughout the
season and there has been climatic for eav-
ing it. There has not been day of discomfort from
temperature. The weather has been delightful with
cool and bracng breezes and there has not been
good for seeking the shady side of the streets
AS consequence of this glorious summer weather
in the city there has been comparatively little induce
ment go the seashore The attractions there
appreciated, and the splendid rapid transit and
cheap fare remembered but the counter attraction
at home is strong The average citizen has been in
clined to postpone the seaside visit until the coming of
real summer weather. From day to day all have
been expecting for many weeks that the morning
clouds would disappear and that the mercury in the
thermometer would perch the 100-degree mark.
There still is time for a human swarmng at
the seaside but 1t will necessarily be shorter than
usual We in the closing days of August now, but
September is apt to be "hot enough" month in Los
Angeles Even in october the has playful habit
at times of making the mercury climb to the higher
notches Of the thermometer.

THE BIG BUILDING ERA

In the evolution Of modern cities the highest mark
of progress seen, literally in the lofty skyscraper
There is no accurate gauge Of American cy's
advancement in this twentieth century era, than is af
forded by such structures In the foremost cities the
value of land in the business district rises almost out
of sight," and the tendency in building is rise in
height proportonatey TO the ascent of land prices.
A notable outcome of the demand for big and
mously expensive buildings has just been brought to
public attention in Los Angeles. That is the plan of
forming corporate organizations for the erection and
maintenance of very costly structures. An individual
be we'll up in the millionaire class to stand the
cost of great modern "skyscraper" And there is
a constant tendency toward still greater, higher and
costly edices, the ability to supply the
viduals.
But necessity always finds a way to overcome such
difficulties. capitalist cannot command the cash
sufficient to erect "skyscraper" the object may be
attained by combination of capitalists by Or
ganization admitting comparatively small investors
The "skyscraper" has proved be such financial
in recent years that its assured income is attract
i've to conservative investors.
AS noted before, Los Angeles is just entering the
expansion stage of high and costly buildings have
splendid examples of this class of structures
they obviously only the pioneers of what the greater
Los Angeles will very reveal The of build
ngs of that already here demand
for of the kind make expansion in the "sky
scraping" line absolute necessity.
For every lofty building of this class that
see in Los Angeles there will be dozen in the near
future. Individual mionaires with means and ncina-
ton to erect such structures may be scarce but their
places will be filed by combinations smaller capital
lists and moderate investors The of great building
already is well started in Los Angeles but few years
hence shall all smile at what excites local pride
and commands the admiration of strangers.

mo- STuNTrD ClrY GROWTH

The real question at issue in the water proposition
was stated succncty by former city engineer as re-
ported in yesterdays Herald
"1f the people wish to see Los Angeles with
imum size much larger than at present. they will
refuse to favor the projects but they wish to Los
Angeles a city Of imess possibilities there will be
hesitation their part in the furherance Of the plan"
II would be next to urban suicide for Los Angeles to
stunt itself by declining accept what is necessary
to further growth is milk to infant The water
commissioners and all other experts unanimous in
the opinion that Los Angeles has about reached the
limit of waterproduclng capacity under present condi
tions. The city now is supplying Its needs in part
pense which in three or four years will have
pumped their waterbearing territory dry powder
Such water production is like taking money from
trousers pocket and putting 1t in the other one.
The only chance for avoiding suned Los Angeles
It's growth stopped permanently by lack of water to
nourish It, lies in grasping that opportunity Owens
valley 1t needs no special knowledge to comprehend
that fact The city continue to expand without
abundant water and that supply is obtainable only In
the shadow Of Mount Whitney
Second only to the of an abundant supply
of from Owens valley is the pleasing certainty
that the water will be pure as nature make It.
It's source is in the lofty Serras, whose peaks
cred with eternal snow sending forth perennial streams
of water that clear crystal No fear of typhoid
other disease germs need be apprehended when Los
Angeles draws its water supply from the of the
