HEROIC TOWER MAN

The fateful but yet heroic conduct Of
the tower-man at Riverside, who yes
terday deliberately derailed a Santa Fe
train in order to save the lives Of many
passengers on a motor car that stood
directly in the pathway of the fast
speeding locomotive, will receive some
criticism and some condemnation.
And yet was he not right? The motor
car freighted with human beings, could
not have escaped destruction, with the
loss of many lives, had not this tower
man, with quick sense of duty and with
full knowledge of the tremendous re-
sponsibility reposed in him, instantly
decided to ditch the train.
The fireman was killed. The men,
women and children in the motor car
were saved.
1t was one life against a score-and
no time to consider What would you
have done?

AN ABSURD SITUATION

The beneficial results of the civil
service system are generally recognized.
There are occasional developments of
its operation, however, that are well
calculated to bring it into popular dis
favor.
A case in point is seen in the embar-
RAISING position of the street superin-
tendent, who is trying to bring his Of
fetal expenses within his available
means. His only resource in that di-
rection is the discharge of employees, as
his expense account chiefly concerns
labor and supervision. Recognizing
that necessity he discharged quite
number of laborers and also certain in
spectors. But it seems that the civil
service rules do not permit him to dis
charge inspectors who are employed by
virtue of their civil service certificates,
and hence the superintendent is forced
to reinstate them.
1t is an absurd situation.
There is no money wherewith to pay
the salaries of those inspectors, but of
course they must be paid. If there is
no city money available for the purpose
will not the superintendent be person
ally responsible for their salaries? 1t
was held recently in a Riverside court
that the town trustees are personally
liable for injuries sustained by per-
son in an accident caused by lack of
repairs OH a street. If the Los Angeles
street superintendent is financially re-
sponsible for the payment of salaries
there is not likely to be a very lively
scramble for his job in the next election
campaign.
1t certainly seems that the usefulness
of the civil service system is stretched
beyond reasonable limitation when it
gets to the length of preventing the
head of a city department from laying
off" employees in case he has no funds
wherewith to pay them for their
services.

VENOERS TRY To
EvADE ORDINANCE
PEDDLERS MAKE AN EFFORT
TO CONTINUE
New Law Makes Children Safe From
the opportunities Of Persistent
Ice Cream and Candy
Dealers

The war against the tamale and ice
cream vender, who is the delight of
the schoolboy's existence, has begun
in earnest and the school department
is preparing to see that the ordinance
passed recently prohibiting venders
from standing within 500 feet of any
public school is. enforced.
The venders are not willing to give
up the trade of the school children and
have determined to die hard"
All sorts of lodges are being planned
by which the law may be evaded.
One vender who has done q flour
ishing business selling ice cream to
the pupils of the Sixteenth street
school, has formed a scheme which
he thinks will make his business safe
but Assistant superintendent Bettin-
ger does not agree with him.
The peddler has placed his ice cream
tubs inside the fence surrounding a
house across the street from the school
and has engaged the woman who owns
the house to take charge of them.
I'VE will fix that little scheme with
out any difficulty" said Mr. Bettinger
yesterday. 1--WE will forbid the school
children to go through that gate"
I'VE expect there will be many eff
forts to evade the law, and we will be
prepared to do all in our power to
enforce it,"
The lunch room at the Polytechnic
high school has almost solved the
problem at that institution, but the
vendors still get some trade and long
line of wagons can be seen in front
of the building every day. A special
ice cream table in connection with the
lunch room, where ice cream can be
mad for five cents a DISH helps to
send the peddlers away with full
freezers.
Women of the Los Angeles Civic as
sociation have been persistent in their
efforts to put the venders out of busi-
Eess so far as the school children are
concerned, and they are rejoicing over
the action Of the council in passing
the ordinance.

PRESIDENTS LABOR IDEAS

In yesterdays Herald dispatch from
Washington. reported a call on Presi-
dent Roosevelt by certain Califor-
mans IN relation TO a Japanese exclu-
sion bill. The president was told that
the bill In question represents the
sentiment Of a large part Of the popula-
tlon on the Pacific coast"
The report states that the president
manifested extreme displeasure at the
nature of the appeal made to him. lie
reminded the callers that the United
States has a solemn treaty with Japan
whereby the people Of that country are
placed on n level with those of Eu-
ropean countries in respect to immi-
grafton.
In response to n question concerning
the leadership in California OF the anti
japanese movement the president was
told that the leader is q person named
Llvernash. who is reported to be an
agitator employed by the San Fran
cisco Examiner and who warmed
seat in the last congress.

trail in San Francisco and is pushed
solely by the class Of labor agitators
who are eternally fomenting trouble
in that city. The trouble with the
japanese, as viewed by the professional
agtator, is that the Japs are willing to
do "a fair days work for fair days
wages" Just what that means, as dis
tinguished from the methods of the
class of whom Livernash is the cham
pion is shown in the present situation
in the Southern California orange belt
The Redlands Review, for example,
says: "a careful canvass of those
employed in getting orange pickers
shows help to be scarce at this time and
to relieve the situation several of the
contractors are hiring japanese labor"
It is not so much the scarcity of white
labor as it's unrellability that causes
the trouble, as the Review explains:
zone Of the principal objections raised
to the white help by the growers is
the fact that the men who promise to
go to work on a certain day will not
put In an appearance. This often de-
lays the grower. who turns to the jap
anese for assistance"
1t is in order to keep orange growers
and other employers of labor at the
mercy of such worthless fellows as are
thus described that the anti-Japanesa
movement has been started. In regard
to the bill Matched in the San Fran
cisco nest the president is reported as
saying: "I'll tell you what 1 think Of
Japanese exclusion I'll veto the bill
and deport Livernash,"

CLAIMS CITY OWES HIM $1,000
Former Chief Deputy of Street Depart
ment Thinks Civil Service Ruling
HELPS His Case

Believing that the ruling on the three
inspectors in the street department ap-
plies to his case, Roy McKeon, for
merly chief deputy in the Office of the
street superintendent, confidently ex-
poets to collect his bill of $1,000 for
services which he believes he should
have rendered.
When Street superintendent Hanley
came into office the council passed an
ordinance abolishing the position of
chief deputy. and as there was no
longer a job for him to fill, Mckeon
was compelled to get out. Soon after
wards the council created the position
of secretary of the street department
and McKeon claims that the two posi-
tions are identical in everything but
name.
When it was announced that under
civil service rules Hanley could not dis
charge three inspectors whom he had
laid off in order to reduce his pay roll,
McKeon believed the ruling applied to
his case. Members of the council state,
however, that the two cases are not
similar, as they have a right to abolish
offices at their discretion. In this con-
tention the council is upheld by the
civil service commission.

day, who has occasion to Journey a
considerable distance, examines time
tables to see which is the shortest avail
able route and which the fastest train.
The nearest approach to the mlle-a-
minute speed is what he wants, first
OF all, and the chance Of such a calam-
ity as the one above referred to is a
subject that is not even given mo-
ments consideration.
This craze for extremely rapid rail-
way speed is exactly the same impulse
that we see developed in auto speed
mania. Americans are proverbially
rapid people, as estimated by other ma
tions, but we are becoming more rapid
at an alarmingly dangerous rate. But
there viii ultimately be change
wrought by other and greater calami-
ties caused by speed mania, followed
by a return to sane ideas about safety
in railway travelling and all other
methods of public transit.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-09
OUTCOME OF SPEED CRAZE

The latest railway horror. whereby
ten persons We're killed and many more
badly injured, gives another striking
example of the modern craze for great
speed. The Union Pacific limited train
was running, as reported, at a speed Of
about a mile a minute. A freight train
going in the opposite direction had
orders ito meet four passenger trains,
the last of which was the overland linz
tied" IT is officially announced at the
office of the company that the wreck
was caused by the engineer and con-
ductorf of the freight confusing their
orders
A quite plausible explanation. It
needs no special acquaintance with
railway traffic methods to understand
how freight train conductor with a
batch of dispatcher's kilograms in his
to lay off for four passenger trains.
But whether that fact is to be taken in
extenuation for his blunder or not, the
great risk taken by passengers on very
fast trains is brought out glaringly by
the resulting calamity
On single track. as all western roads
are equipped, carrying many passenger
and freight trains in both directions
mile-a-minute limited train crashes
head on into freight train. A mo-
ment's reflection brings the thought
that 1t is marvellous SO few collisions
happen under such circumstances. The
element of luck evidently is an i'm
portant one. and an occasional crash
ing together of trains is a hazard to
be expected.
The travelling public, not the railway
managers, are blamable for this haz-
arding of human life for the sake OF
saving minutes In railway schedules

A FAMOUS CHILD GUIDE
From Leslle's Weekly.

From Lesies Weekly.
In Colorado City there is a 13-years'
old girl who is rapidly becoming known
to persons from all parts of the United
States. Her name is Jennie Barr, and
her father owns a livery stable near
the entrance to the Garden of the
Gods. During the busy season little
Miss Barr acts as guide to parties
taking trips on burros through that
wonderful park. She manages these
stubborn little animals to perfection,
and can tighten a saddle girth or ad-
just stirrups with the greatest ease.
Her manner is graceful and shows a
refinement somewhat out of harmony
with her environment. The tone of the
average guide is monotonous, and his
descriptions stereotyped but with her
it is different. The places of interest
are pointed out with genuine pleasure.
and her explanations of the freaks of
nature show originality and intelli-
gence beyond her years. The burros
ridden are hired from her father, and
no charge is made for the charming
little guide, but the average tourist
is so attracted by her winsomeness
that a substantial tip is forthcoming.
In this way the girl adds quite a snug
sum to her savings bank account.

ADVICE TO POLICY HOLDERS
Frem Harper's Weekly.

FROM Harper's Weekly.
We are amazed to learn upon good
authority that there has developed a
phase of the insurance situation which
seriously reflects upon the hard sense of
Il good many presumably intelligent
Americans. Hundreds. even thousands,
are permitting their policies to lapse.
This is so stupid as to be, from the
standpoint of pure self-interest, almost
criminal. There is no question and has
been and can be no question of the
solvency of the companies. Enough
has developed to prove beyond the
shadow of a doubt that the total of
moneys wasted and not earned that
might have been earned is bagatelle
in proportion to the enormous assets.
Every dollar of insurance outstanding
is good as gold, whether new policy
ever be written or not. 1t is the ut
termost folly, therefore, for anyone to
sacrifice the slightest portion of what
he has paid in. To continue the pay
ment of premiums and demand restl-
tuition and reform is the only sane
policy.
