ANOTHrR FREDERICKSBURG CONELIcT

An 4rrepressible conflict" second in importance
only to the that foreshadowed the Civil War seems
to confront the American people.
It is conflict that has gathering force gradually
for several years. Beginning almost imperceptiby in
the early days of trust development 1t has expanded
to point that now appears to be near the climax.
The conflict is between the great Of the people
the gigantic combinations of capital that are seek
ing to control the Industrial interests of the United
States The trusts going even farther than that
shown by the powerful influence they exert in federal
state and municipal government.
The present situation indicates that the people have
been too patient in failing long face the danger
that confronts them. That they fully aroused
at last, however, is obvious fact.
The oil situation in Kansas is merely incident in
the conflict that to be inevitable
1t is only the spark in a combustible mass.
Like the first shot at Fort Sumter 1t is the signal
for movement all along the line,
Like the financial failure Of Jay Cooke & Co. in
1879 it is preciptating CONFUSION that may be felt
throughout the length and breadth Of the United States
This conflict between the people and the trusts has
been inevitable since the latter grew to the mag
nitude of complete monopoies. The oil business in
Kansas although important in ITSELF is trivial
pared with the interests involved in the contest wherein
it leads.
The greater interests involved the American rail-
the manufacturing industries of the country, the
cornerng" of markets in great staples such wheat
and cotton, etc.
Fortunately for the people in the conflict begun
they have their champion the president of the United
States, with his ndomitabe pluck and determination
Theodore Roosevelt represents in his attitude
against monopoly the whole people, irrespective of
political sectional or class distinction
He has thrown down the gauntlet of defiance to the
railway monopoly and he is known to be in favor of
popular rights the whole line Of American industry
There is doubt that the trusts will hang
together" in support of their mutual demands for
olisc control Unless the people stand together with
equal rmness through their federal and state repre-
sentatives and otherwise the trusts will hold the fort
in defiance of all assaults.
firm and united popular front however under the
leadership of the president will lead to the lawful
troll of all dominating trusts and the soppage of cor
nering" operations in such staples cotton and wheat

POTENCY OF TEN MEN

The salvation of a city in Bible times depended
upon the finding of ten righteous men among its
inhabitants On the finding of ten unrighteous men in
the California state depends the safety of the
four senatorial booders from expulsion,
The simple question at issue in the bribery case,
far the senate is concerned is whether the accused
muster ten votes in their support when the expu-
sion issue to a vote.
According to the constitution it requires twothirds
vote of the members eecedthat fraction of the
pete senatorial compement-to eXpel member. The
San Francisco Chronicle explains the situation thus:
"Twentysx is little less than twothirds and
twenty-seven is fraction more, but there must be
tweny-seven affirmative votes The accused
will not vote but they do not need to. They count
senators elected. IT. in addition to them
be found who will either vote against expulsion
absent themselves the senators cannot be expelled,
but may continue to sit and take part in legislation"
Can the leaders of the Republican party in California
afford to protect boodlers from expulsion?
The present legislature is almost wholly Republican
and the responsibility in the bribery issue be
evaded. If the accused be saved the odium
fall directly upon that party The Chronicle fully
recognizes this responsibility and declares that eXpu
sion fails nothing prevent the Republican party
from paying the penalty for at the state election to be
held two years hence when there will be president
or senator elected and the state election will
solely state issues
In regard to the punishment of the senators for
the crime of which they accused the action of the
is not of material consequence Mere expulsion
in the closing days of the session would not be likely
to worry whose conscences already are scared.
For the honor and good of the state however
is hoped the accused will not have the support
unrighteous fellow members but there is
that the demands of justice will be satisfied in the
criminal court.

which were already in operation and
others just commencing. Contributions
of clothing and books, etc, for the jails
and various homes should be sent TO
Fellowship house, sos West Third

more unfortunate victims of circum-
stances.

KEEP THE SIDEWALKS CLEAN

IN communication to The Herald which appears
today in another column the writer makes forcefu conn
plant concerning sidewalk Instructions in this CITY
walks caused by washings from higher ground ON
vacant lots Instances noted where dirt TINS
deposited entirely covers the sidewalk and makes it
impossible for people to pass without wadng through
from two to eight inches of mud"
The nuisance alluded to is fruitful source of com
plant on the part of citizens and of establishment ON
the part of visitors from the larger cities of the east
Residents have grown weary of attempts to abate II
but strangers cannot see why Los Angeles should be
exceptionally lacking in this respect
The fact is, as inmated by our CORRESPONDENT that
such lots usually perhaps belong to nonresdents The
city has no present authority 1t seems to assess sucb
property for the purpose Indicated and there appear
TO be no city funds available Resident owners of such
lots probably take advantage this situation to some
extent by negectng to keep their vacant lots in order
1t would not be important matter of EXPENSE for
the city to make provision for keeping all such lots
clean and certainly the cost would be trivial compared
with the satisfaction of avoiding the condition which
leads to such frequent complaint
In the absence of legal authority for assessing nom
residents it should be remembered that Los Angeles
can better afford the involved than to hear the
reputation of having sidewalks covered with from two
TO eight inches of mud"
Meanwhile the city council should take the subject
In hand and see what legislation be framed to meet
the situation

KEEP SIDEWALKS CLEAN
Legislation Needed to Correct a
Widely Spread Nuisance
LOS ANGELES, Feb.


Editor Herald: VIII you kindly es-
plain through your valuable paper
what the ordinance is concerning side
walk distractions? In the vicinity
where / reside, West Seventh street
there are several vacant lots with very
high entertainments. When it rains d
large amount of dirt is washed down,
which entirely covers the sidewalk ard
makes it impossible for people to pass
without wading through from two 10
eight inches of mud.
This matter has been reported to the
street commissioner and chief of police
repeatedly but nothing has ever been
done to remedy the evil. 1t is claimed
that a large number of these vacant
lots are owned by non-residents who
have no interest in keeping the walks
in proper condition.
In eastern cities there is an ordl-
nance providing for such emergencies;
the walks are kept in proper condition
by the city government and the owner
is assessed.
These obstacles in the path of pedes-
TRANS are surely a great detriment to
beautiful city like Los Angeles and
no time should be lost in establishing
an ordinance which will relieve side
walks of this unnecessary obstruction.
Very respectfully,
C. M. ROBINSON.

boy becomes drunkard-2O per cent of the countrys

open to him, the dance hall is ready to send him
to destruction and the gambling table beckons him to
the road"
But evil seed must have sprouted before the boy

and the gaming table A boy who is properly reared
at home is not likely to go headong into vice.

young girls and will be greatly worn
during the coming season. The very at"
tactive little frock illustrated combines
a waist so made with a circular skirt
but is closed invisibly at the center
back. In the case of the model the
material is pale green albatross with
chemisette and cuffs of string colored
lace, and the trimming of silk banding
and braid, but all those that are soft
enough to render stirring effective are
appropriate.
The frock consists of the waist por-
ton and the skirt. The waist is made
over a fitted lining, on which the chem
isette Is arranged, and consists of tle
full front and backs. The collar ex-
tends we'll over the shoulders and serves
to finish the front edges of the waist
while the sleeves are made over fitted
Innings, which are faced to form cuffs,
