POOLING WITH HORNETS NESTS

One of the subjects engage senatorial atten-
tion reported from Washington will be considera-
ton of the Sano Domingo treaty. Along with that
nouncement some news from Santo Domingo cal
culaed to dampen enthusiasm in the plan for American
guardianship of the Dominican republic provided
for by the terms of the treaty.
Without waiting for ratification of the treaty by the
senate, the government at Washington made
several ago in taking up the reins for the guild
ance of the little republics financial affairs According
to the provisions of the treaty American agents are to
handle customs receipts and retain from the funds
percentage wherewh pay pressing debts of European
creditors. This plan seemed acceptable to the Domini-
cans first but the latest advces porend the coming
of a storm of opposition
The Domincans have had time to exercise their
naturally perfdous instincts and under the guidance of
agitaors they are reported to be assuming hostile atti
tude toward the United States. Not only the Do
minicans dissatisfied but Haytians also occupy
the western part of island of Hayt said to be
highly incensed at what they call American "intru,
sion" in their neighborlng republic
It looks If the United States agitatng an.

Of Santo Domingo and Hayti in almost perpetual
turmoil and spelling for fight" Being nsular and
without warshps they have no opportunity to fight
cept among themselves unless they provoke one of the
maritime powers. The chance to put up a puny
fight against the United States will be hard for them
to resist
The United States has got precious little gratitude
for it's stupendous service behalf of Cuba and its
reward for helping Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philip
pines has ranged from censure to curses. Uncle Sans
experience with foreign hornets nests has been like

THn AnRoNAUTIc HUB

Los Angeles is entitled to claim distinction as the
hub of aeronauic science Two airship manufactures
in operation here and common balloons suitable for
of two or three miles may be turned out as side
lines.
Not only the making but the operation of aerial
craft has reached its highest degree Of perfection here
The exploits of Santos Dumont, the most conspicuous
aeonaut in Europe have been surpassed by the daring
young who is Capt Baldwn's chief navigator In
the various adventures Of Roy Knabenshue in the air
he has had personal mishap. and he to feel
confidence in his safety aloft than the average
steerer of an automobile does terra frma.
1t is to Los Angeles not to Paris that ambitious
aeronauts likely look in future for points in the
development of aeronaucs. This tendency is recog-
nzed by Knabenshue in his upper air baloonng for the
study of air strata and general atmospheric conditions
Just before his ascent of nearly two miles in small
balloon last Sunday he said in the of address
to the attendant crowd at is purpose to make
eral ascensions to heights of from two to three miles
for the purpose of obtaining data the higher air
currents. We making these experiments solely in
the interest of science and the data which get will
be carefully preserved for the benefit of other
aeronauts"
The problem of aeronautics on what may be called
commercial still far from solution, but there is
not much doubt that it will be solved ultimately. 1t
the thoughts of thousands of scientists and
inventors and the number thus interested is sure
rapidly Some day in the future, whether it
be far the world will be suddenly apprsed of
the solving of the aeronautic problem just as was
apprsed of the first teegraphic message transmitted
from Washington to Baltimore
The ideal meteorological conditions in the neghbor-
hood Of Los Angeesequable temperature, absence of
storms high winds, clear air and sunshine-make
this nearly perfect locality for aeronautc experiments.
The beginning witnessed in the rivalry of two local
companies in airship development to be the
first act of unfolding practical method of aeronautc
service that will eventually make the airship COM

THE SUICIDE RECORD

The startling record of fifteen suicides within sixty
days in Los Angeles county, threeourths of them in
the city, presented in Sundays Herald 1t is
doubtful if the proportion of such tragedies has been
so large any other city of the United States for the
same time
1t would seem that conditions hereabout should
make the percentage of suicides exceptionally small,
but the grim facts of record tell different story.
The coroner and the physician who makes most of
the autopses in suicidal both endeavor to throw
some light this anomaly. The first of these authori
ties holds to cycle theory which has many sup
porters in respect to crimes and caamties He says,
in regard suicides: "One will be reported and
then those who are of nervous temperament often
despondent in ill health, reminded of and de-
eide the spur of the moment to follow the same
unfortunate example"
somewhat different view of the matter is taken by
Dr. Campbell whose long experience qualities him to
express authoritative opinion He says rs per cent
of the suicides due insanity, while the other 25
per arise from dependency occasioned by unfor
tunae surroundings desperation brought about by
fast living and the like And the view Is expressed
specifically that gambling is responsible for many
young mans downfall and overindugence in alcoholic
stimulants accounts for numerous Others"
Probably if the exact facts known it would
appear that ninetenths of the suicides in Los Angeles
result primarily from dependency induced by two
general First in the great number of nvalids
who here from the east in the expectation of being
benefited, there is always percentage who forced
to abandon hope after time, and when hope is gone
they sometimes prone to seek death. The second
general class those who by of domestic
trouble, uncomfortable liquor drinking habit and gam
bling nfatuaon with its incentive to crime led to
take the short out of what they regard msere-
BILE world.
There is but comparatively small proportion of
persons who commit suicide that properly be recE
oned as citizens of Los Angeles. Invalds who
from abroad and ultimately become suicides should
not be set down citizens. Nor should Los Angeles
properly be credited with the wreched end of persons
who here far gone with the drinking habit
so stepped in vice that they finally the pistol or

SEVERE WINTERS COST
 TO FRUIT CROP

Rogers, March 6.-John P. Lo- gan, president of the State Hor- ticultural society, estimates the loss to the fruit crop by reason of the severe winter at $10O, O0O.
 From the reports received from all parts of the state he says that he finds the peach crop very materially injured. Ad- vices from the northwestern part of the state, including this and Washington counties, show that all varieties of peaches are entirely killed.
 From Crawford and adjoining counties the report comes that they have been damaged at least 75 per cent, and further south some damage has been done.
 No damage has been done to the apple crop, and the fruit spurs on the apple trees are in fine condition and at present promise an abundant crop of all varieties.
 It is needless to say that small fruit is safe and the prospects were never better for large berry crop.

MAY BE CANDIDATE
 FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE.

Judge M. M. Stuckey is being urged by friends over this dis trict to become a candidate for circuit judge. For some time his name has been mentioned in con- nection with this office and the suggestion of his candidacy has been received with popular favor, especially in his home county.
 Judge Stuckey is an esteemed member of the local bar, for he is regarded a very able exponent of the law and we'll versed in the decisions of the court which have established the construction to be placed upon doubtful points, relative to which the law makers were not so explicit as they might have been had they fore seen the controversies to arise upon these fine points.
 A man of judicial temperament, who could without prejudice de- termine justice and the intent of the statute, laying aside all out side considerations. With an ac- tive mind, capable of sitting the spacious argument of contending counsel and determining in how far the reasoning was based upon the law, Judge Stuckey possesses those qualities which would promise in him an able, fearless judge, worthy of the ermine.
 The honor is worthy of aspira- tion, and while it would doubtless be a sacrifice upon the part of Judge Stuckey in giving up a more lucrative practice than the salary of the judgeship, it can hardly be refused by any lawyer when called upon by his friends and fellow-citizens.
 It is generally reported that Judge Fulkerson will not be a candidate for reelection and posi- lively known that MT. Oldfeld will not. Independence county has had both offices for a num- Der of years and it is now Jack son county's time.
