The harbor committee of the Los An

members of the California state legis-
lative committee on navigation and

and advancing harbor interests. This
proposition was proposed by the cham-
ber harbor committee, and that COM
mittee will draft bill for presentation
to the board of directors for it's APP
proval at the regular meeting of that

BURTON HOLMES AIN LONDON
First of TraveIogues Givea at 5lan-
chard Hall

Burton Holmes delivered his first lee
ture of the "Travelogue" series at
Blanchard hall last evening to an en-
thusiastic audience. His talk was on
London. The audience was taken to
the English metropolis in a manner
which in many respects was better
than a visit there.
1T was in no sense guide book or an
encyclopedia lecture, but a personal
and vivid talk on the wonders of the
great city. The lantern slides made
distinct impression as the speaker led
his hearers from scene to scene in an
easy unconventional style. The pic
lures were all new and were displayed
with unusual clearness.
Holmes talks with good voice and
in the convincing manner of man who
is thoroughly acquainted with his sub
ject, and delights in sharing his knowi-
edge. He Is never prosaic or dry"
His descriptive passages were enlivened
with bright wit and interesting anec-
dotes. Frequent applause interrupted
his address.
On Wednesday evening at Blanch-
ards hall Burton Holmes will present
his second "travelogue" entitled
=" Round About London" which is the
London of relaxation; the London Of
suburban palaces and parks; Hampton
court; Greenwich; the princely
Thames; the Crystal palace; Hamp-
stead heath; EPSON downs and all
the many other features that make up
the pleasure life of London. 1t is

A LOS ANGELES TAMMANY

The organization of Tammany club in Los Angeles
as Democratic nucleus excites interest in the early
history of the famous New York Tammany Hall That
history dates back to period directly following the
American revolution. Many of the early members of
the "Tammany society or Columbian order" were
officers in Washingtons army, while others were
civilians of prominence during the war The name
was that of the chief of the Delaware Indians who sold
the land to William Penn. In the Indian tongue the
name Tammany signihed "the ahable"
The Tammany Columbian order was founded IN
1888. the immediate purpose being to push the candi
dacy of Thomas Jefferson for the presidency of the
United States. although its avowed object was benevo
lence and fraternity The election of Jefferson is said
to have been due in considerable measure to the vida
spread influence of the Tammany society The orpani
zation was known as Republican in the Jeffersonian
era but 1t assumed the Democratic designation when
the change in the parys occurred early in tbe
Jacksonian
The plan Of political organization adopted by Tam.
many long is said to be effective 1t has been
followed more or less by other political parties and Inv
Democrats in most Of the large American cities II Is
this plan of organization that the Tammany club Of
Los Angeles will follow in the effort to further sodify
and strengthen the Democratic party OF this city and
county.

LABOR AGE LIMIT FOR MINORS

The bill providing for the amendment of the child
labor law of California is generally commendable 1t
remedies salient objection to former attempts at
vision by qualifying the restriction of labor relating to
youth under IA years of age The present law draws
the line at 12 years. Objection to raising the limit to
Ia years has been heretofore the ground that
in certain circumstances the labor of child between
the ages may be indispensable to the support
helpless family particularly mother younger
children. The law proposed meets that objection
satisfactorily.
While the pending bill raises the age limit of en-
ployment 1t provides that in individual child
between 12 and IA years may be wage Garner In
cities like Los Angeles where there is Juvenile court,
the justice is given authority to grant permission for
the employment of minor under IA years. In
munities where there is such court justice of the
superior court may give like permission 1t is neces-
sary however that the court be fully convinced of
necessity of childs earnings in support family
otherwise helpless.
In discriminating with regard to such application
the court is expected to take into account the physical
condition of the applicant and all other questions bear
ing the subject The Importance Of this elasticity
of the bill apparent in all cities where there
families that would be subjects of charity but for the
earnings of child children If such children are
robust enough to stand work without physical
detriment it is obviously better to permit them to labor
than to make their families charitable charges
There are comparatively few children employed in
California who under IA years of age In this
respect state differs from all of the states
In of the old states New York for instance the
child labor abuse is something appalling few days ago
magistrate of New York city said, in regard to
of this kind before him. mo civilized community would
put up with such conditions" 1t sharp home
thrust to say substance that the metropolis is not
civilized but facts adduced in the fully justify
the charge.
recent investigation by the New York board of
education revealed conditions of which this is an ex-
ample: "In room dozens of child laborers were in
their feet running through water the floor
depth of about half inch. The material on which
they worked had to be kept moist" And the report
says: 'Such tiny little things with bodies that looked
as if they might be crushed between ones hands"
Here is extract in point from the New York
World "'The factories won't take you unless you are
s years DID, is remark quoted from the Syracuse
region The foreman of factory is quoted as
saying that it employed 800 children A child 4
years old has been found working for 10 cents day
1t has come to pass that old children are dis
placed by young children because they cheaper!
Think of toil-won, discarded veteran of IT."
While there are conditions in California ap-
preaching those indicated in New York. It is important
that the law of this state barring the subject should
be adequate prevent abuses in the employment of
wage-earning youth.

cENsoRING THE NEWS

Trepoff, the new governor Of st. Pc
tersburg, signalized his entrance into
office by putting an effective stop to
the freedom with which the newspaper
correspondents have been working In
the principal city of Russia since the
opening of hostilities with Japan. Since
Monday last the news from st. Peters
burg has obviously been very closely
censored. During the first twenty four
hours after the beginning Of the mas
sacre in that city the correspondents
were not restricted in their work. That
was very apparent. The censorship
was working under the order-said to
have come direct from the car last
February = permitting correspondents
OF foreign newspapers and press
agencies absolute freedom in fling and
sending matter. All this was changed
the instant Trepoff, who made a bloody
record for himself at Moscow, took
command He put the press under the
ban ateonce. and it may be confessed
nowasthat the newspapers are being
served only with such matter as may
be struggled beyond the frontier for
filing or that which presents the gov
eminent IN a favorable light.
When the censor was ordered to
leave the dispatches of the foreign cor
respondents alone last February the
Russian government INDUCED in mas
ter stroke of policy. This one act did
more to reconcile the outside world to
believe that progressive policy was
to be adopted than all the promises Of
internal reforms that were adopted 1t
was weeks before the correspondents
