Road Work Is Valuable.

Il have found that too much indoor
work is bad for man. No matter how
bad the weather may be, get him out on
the read for four or i've mile sprint
with his sparring partners.
And, by the way, speaking of spar
Sing partners, the general public has

comparatively gentle boxing exercise.
go greater mistake was ever made. A
Eparring partner in the latter day sense
Of the word is a real fighter. He hands
che man in training the stiffest punches
in his repertery, and many a prepara-
tory bout is as violent and as vicious
as the final contest in the ring. Men
like Mccoy, Tommy Ryan and 'Phila-
delphia Jack 0'Brien are no gentle
lambs when in training. They punish
their Eparring partners numerically
and the latter, too, frequently return
the compliment. For instance, when
Mccoy trained the miner Jack Munroe
for his fight in Philadelphia with Tom
Sharkey the Hoosier hurt Jack twice
as much as did the sailor in the actual
bout Munroe went to the Quaker City
with as pretty a black eye (the result
of one of dcCoy's jabs) as one would
care to see. This mark, received in
practice, was the only one Munroe car
Eied away from the tight.

were held at Walham Green on a rath-

THE MAYORS ADVISERS

Mayor McAleer has hit upon an idea that will com
mend itself to citizens generally. He has introduced
what he calls an advisory cabinet composed OF six
members of municipal commissions, all of whom are
recognized at once representative and influential
members of the community
The purpose of the mayor is to consult with this
advisory board in respect to all executive questions OF
special importance Conscious of his falbily, he
seeks the Judgment and the long experience in affairs
of half dozen leading citizens whose opinions on city
matters he values highly.
It is believed that this innovation the part OF the
mayor is unique far American cities are concerned
The plan however is directly in line with the policy
announced by owen McAleer in the municipal cam
paign and since iterated by Mayor McAleer AS he
expresses the situation himself "I believe that my
effort TO give the people efcient administration VIII
be attended with greater of success II have
the benefit of the knowledge and experience OF an
advisory cabinet composed of representatives from the
commissions in charge of the different departments OIL
the city government"
The mayor is doing just what any level headed
business would do If he were embartlng in large
affairs outside his usual line of business He does not
lack personal confidence and there is no question about
the stiffness of his backbone, but he has well de-
veoped bump of caution and he desires to be very sure
that he is right when he goes ahead.
No additional expense will be incurred by the CITY,
of course result of the mayors advisory board or
cabinet plan 1t will be considerable tax on the time
of the very busy who thus compmented by the
mayors confidence in their judgment but all are public
spirited citizens jealous in whatever work may be for
the betterment of Los Angeles and they will cooperate
heartily in the mayors purpose to give the city the
best that is in him"

PAYLESS SACRAMENTO STATESMEN

Today the California legislators begin the repugnant
experience serving the state without Their sixty
days of service at $8 day. all the law allows them for
the session. have expired Henceforh until adjournment
they will have the unwilling experience of working for
nothing and footing the expense account from private
resources.
1t is rather strange that the session should he pro-
longed as agreed by joint resolution until March 10.
The average statesman Sacramento does not hoard
much of the $3.50 allotted him for law making There
are drains upon his salary besides those of his board
and wash bills and sometimes the incidental expenses
of the session overtop the hardpan expense account
In view of this economic situation, together with the
fact that there is but little time consuming business
remaining it strange that the session should be
extended until March 10 In fact the advanced stage of
the business shows that there is present necessity
for extending sessions to eighty days contemplated in
two or three propositions that have been submitted
Aside from the sensational bribery case and the
shameful grating grab the beginning of the session.
there has been but little in the whole proceedings
worthy of special note. All the prediction promises
of reform in legislative procedure broken before
the session week old. After that exhibition of dis
graceful public punder the session settled down to the
commonplace level of the California legislature
of recent years.
The popular judgment will be that the legislature
of 1905 is entitled TO whatever credit attaches to a
record neither better nor than its recent pred
ecessors.

the early production of "Mizpah" at

more toward preserving her name in
history than all of her other works

present the play to local play-goers. In
San Francisco and Oakland "Mizpah"
is breaking all records in point of at
tendance, in enthusiasm, in advance
sales and in beauty of production and
attention to little details.
1t is not only a cleverly constructed
play, but the lines, which are in blank
verse, are beautiful and full of those
thoughts which have made Mrs. Will

out the country. "Mizpah" in all its
