pers on the question OF peace Is noted
In their utterances today. The No

held to the view that the war must be
continued until Russia has recovered
her prestige by victory, discusses
the adyisabillty of ending the war
calmly *, A
It says bluntly, however. that il ia
pan asks too much as the price Of
peace it will pay Russia to keep up
the struggle
The Russ says that If the people
through their representatives, are al
lowed to settle the question Japan will
readily agree to reasonable terms
when she finds herself confronted by
the whole nation.
One significant statement in the
Russ Is: ffsg!i
Even the revolutionists are not
traitors. They are fighting the pres
ent rotten bureaucracy, and not the
mother country. They would not toll
crate a disgraceful peace"
ST. PETERSBURG, June Sit was

If such a system is carried out it will
mean that the western cities will be

of hauling large companies across the
continent now allow Under such an
arrangement, for instance, Nat Good

actors as Joseph Galbraith, Thomas

SOCIAL
DIARY AND GOSSIP
Brilliant Dancing Party


one of the most beautifully appointed
social affairs Of the year was the dane
ing party with which Or. and Mrs.
Walter Jarvis Barlow entertained last
evening at Kramer's in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. John Curry Barlow of Ossin-
ing, N. Y. Under a canopy of aspar-
agus plumosus stretching the length
and width Of the ball room, several
hundred Of society's representatives
danced to the music of Arend's or
chestra and mingled their laughter with
the swish Of siken gowns. The strands
of fern forming the canopy were held
in place by gold rings depending from
the ceiling by scarlet ribbons. In the
banquet room where supper was served
the guests were seated at twenty-five
small tables, and pink and green were
the colors used. AS in the ball room,
a canopy Of asparagus plumosus had
been hung and pretty arrangements
of ferns surrounded the top Of each of
the pillars supporting the ceiling. In
each of the windows baskets of ferns
and gladioli were arranged, and on each
of the tables fancy basket filled with
sweet peas rested. The gowns Of the
hostess and her guest of honor carried
out the color idea of the banquet room,
both women being attired in pink

A COUNCILMANIC BOOMERANG

1t is fortunate that the law will protect the city
council, and the community as well, from further SEN
satona gallery play by the member misrepresenng the
Sixth ward.
Councilman Houghton throughout his official
has seemingly cared merely for the notorety he de-
rived from posing public spectacle The interests
of the city he has seemed to regard only of minor
comparatively trivial Importance. From first to
last he has demonstrated that mistake was made in
exchanging the castoff former councilman of the
Sixth ward for the glaring mist that succeeded him.
The trick of "resigning" member of the council,
to which Houghton has been addicted is which the
other of that body tolerated entirely too long
1t is papably budozing trick, although it failed to
have effect on the leveLheaded members Puffed up
with concet concerning his individual importance he
seemed to fancy, like Mahomet, that mountain would
approach him at the word of command
The city attorney has stopped Houghtons stage eff
fects with what will strike the Sixth statesman
distinct jar when he about it in Salt Lake,
where he happens to be posing representative
of Los Angeles His resignation is accomplished and
official fact The String" which Houghton thought
securely fastened to the resignation has been cut in
the city attorneys Office neatly Alexander cut the
gordian knot
Ex-Counciman Houghton should return to the busi-
ness of writing prescriptions for pills. potions and
spiritus frumenti
And the Sixth ward should stand ready to elect
its representative good business man, who will look
after real interests of that largest and perhaps most
important ward in Los Angeles
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-14
WORSHIP OF THE GOLDEN CALF

I'VE can better afford to slacken our pace than to
abandon old, simple standards Of honesty"
So says Grover Cleveland in his letter accepting
truseeshp for the reorganization of the Equitable AS
surance society of New York
And further The high pressure of speculation,
the madness of inordinate business schemng and the
chances taken in and uncertain enterprises are
constantly present temptations too often successful in
leading managers and directors away from scrupuous
loyalty and fidelity to the interests Of others conhded to
their care"
1t is said that in the Ohio state prison ten bank pres
dens are serving terms Of Imprisonment, being quar-
tered in what has to be known as bankers row."
Many other state prisons have occupants who formerly
trusted in important hduciary concerns.
Here in California have examples of men in high
places whose for money brought them to striped
clothes and barred windows.
The voice of warning raised by Grover Cleveland
should have much wider reach than the class Of nan-
ciers to whom he especially alludes The warning is
applicable in every grade of American life, from the
highest to the lowest station. Like the Israees in
the wilderness the American people of all classes
becoming worshipers of the golden calf The million
aire is in pursuit of millions, the of moderate
means is after thousands and the poor after
hundreds. No fault be found with such ambi-
ton except when the chase for reaches the de-
gree which Cleveland properly characterizes the
madness" of the struggle. When the golden calf be-
object of worship and its votaries PROSTATE
themselves before it in token of alteration. then the
stage of madness surely is reached
The latter day eagerness Of Americans in one social
stratum to ascend to the next stratum above is
countabe for the downfall of thousands of who to-
day walking the lockstep in state prisons. The
banker is anxious to have his family shine brightly in
the social armament but his large income may not
be sufficient all ambitious requirements false
step is TAKEN apparently safe but it is in the
direction of prison door. The average in moder
circumstances aspires social level for his family
a little above the which he moves and the temp
tation beses him, stated by Mr. Cleveland, to take
chances in new and uncertain enterprises"
There would be infinitely happiness in Amer-
can homes and number of stripewearers in state
prisons if all people should make contentment their
object of alteration rather than to madly pursue the
igns fatuus of wealth.

SHALL NORWAY BE RECOGNIZED7

What course will the United States take when Nor
way asks recognition of its diplomatic and
representatives?
That interesting question will be ripe very soon.
The Norwegian statesman who will become minister
foreign states that all the great powers
soon will be approached the question of recognition
Norway has a considerable foreign commerce. and it's
commercial interests would suffer- of course without
representation in the leading maritime countries Hav
ing severed all official relationship with Sweden the
new government depend upon the early establish
ment of business relations abroad it's account
In such matters satecraft it is the rule to follow
precedents if there be any, In this there is no
precedent that will fit the situation The relationship
and Norway has been quite unlike that of any
other country countries recalled While the
coalition recognized a common monarch each country
had its own constitution and legislative establishment
The union was in fact, mere partnership for
cial and industrial convenience and for mutual protec
tion.
Perhaps the nearest approach to a precedent for
Norways case presented when the confederate gov
applied the European powers for recognition
The southern states claimed constitutional right to
secede and set up Independent government. But
the two sections of the United States were engaged
in civil when the first overtures made by the
confederate government recognition abroad At the
present time it certain that like unfortunate sit
uaon may develop in Scandinavia before Norways en-
voy arrives in the United States.
In regard to American sympathy for Norway in the
present emergency good deal will depend the form
of government the Norwegians may undertake estab-
lish. II they erect throne and place royal puppet
upon it, Americans will waste but little sympathy on
the movement. If Norway determines to establish
republic, however it will have lavish American SYM
pathy and moral support at least.
