There may be fairer girls than Sue;
There may be gladder maidens, too;
But she makes all her clothes and
knows
The art of trimming hats so we'll
That other women cannot tell
The difference 'twixt hers and those
Constructed by the milliners.
There may be softer cheeks than hers;
She may not have the sweetest face
Nor own the smallest, cutest feet,
Nor be the most divinely sweet,
Nor show the most bewitching
grace
In truth, l almost know that she's
A trifle shy on witcheries.
All, tell me, sages, If you can,
Why we who hear the women say:
Shed make good wife for some
man."
Prefer to look some other way?
Why must the maidens who possess
Such gifts as hers be so much less
Attractive to us than the ones
Whom older ladies never praise
And never, If they had their ways,
Would choose as helpmates to their
sons?

gentler spirit prevailed than at other
seasons. In the saturnalia all-master
and man-were considered equal. and
at CHRISTMAS there has always been
sentiment that distinctions of class
should be forgotten and only the fact
OIL common humanity be remembered.
IL mas always been considered time
Oh miracles. The cattle kneel at mid
night in honor of the manger-born
babe the bees sing all night. They
must not be forgotten in the festivi-
ties either, so in Scotland they were
given Christmas greeting and their
hives were decked with holly. In
Switzerland, Sweden and Montenegro
a special provision is made for the
birds, who are fed as part of the days
observance.
Farther east flrecrackers and pistols
make the holiday seem like a Fourth
of July celebration.

INSURANCE LOOTERS

George Burnham jr., one of the Off
cials of a leading life insurance COM
pany of New York city still in the
tolls of it's looters, has just been SEN
fenced to two years in Sing Sing prison
| because of his alleged misconduct of
his office. He is the first and only
one of these gentry to feel the strong
hand of the law, and even he is long
way from the penitentiary, as all the
laws delays and technicalities will be
utilized in the effort to secure his final
freedom.
Meanwhile the big companies are now
busy holding elections as required by
recent state law. Ballots have been
sent in by the thousand and on the
face of the returns it would seem that
the Augean stables had been cleansed.
But already come charges of manipu-
lation and flimfam, and assertions
that the old gangs of financial sharps
and experts whose operations have de-
frauded thousands of policyholders, are
still actively working to retain control
of the vast assets of these corpora
tions. Whether or not they will sue
ceed it is yet too early to say.
But the very fact that, in spite of the
laws and the wishes of the policy
holders as expressed under them, they
are still fighting for control, does not
speak we'll for the thoroughness of their
eviction nor of the efficacy of the laws
to prevent their plundering in the
future.
Confidence in the huge life insurance
companies, was severely shaken when
young Hyde and AleXander's row ex-
posed the rotten conditions surround
ing their administration. Thousands
of policyholders withdrew and more
men refused to go into them. Siren
uous reforms, thorough and complete,
were promised, and unlimited assur-
ances of good faith We're given out.
The actual solvency of the companies
was never doubted, but their adminis-
tration was severely criticized. Re-
forms in this particular were especially
agreed upon.
While some steps toward revivi-
cation of the business have been made
| it must be admitted that, in the main,
conditions have not been much i'm
proved. One official of one company
has been convicted and few others
compelled to put it back" But these
exceptions only emphasize the further
fact that the bulk of the promises
have been merely pledges never in
tended for anything except belief, and
the rapacious endeavors now making
by the old gangs to retain control Of
the funds show only too plainly that
the repentance and regeneration man
ifested were only skin deep.
What the public demands-and the
public has a right to say, since with
out ii there were no life insurance
companies-is a clean deal all around;
complete erasing of the slate; a
housekeeping that viii leave not a
man tainted with graft in the organi-
cations. When the old looters are en-
tirely uprooted, trunk, stem and branch,
and honest, fearless and correct busi-
ness men, single OF purpose and decent
Of heart, are installed, then, and not
till then, win the public at large be
ready TO reinvest its funds with these
organizations.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-23
LOS ANGELES, CHRISTMAS

Truly Is Los Angeles an urban anom-
ally. Striking evidence on that point is
seen in the avalanche of Christmas
presents that is swamping the resources
Of the local postoffice. Notwithstanding
the large additions to the working
force Of the office that have been made
this year. the postmaster appeals to
the public for help. He asks the people
to call at the general and branch offices
for expected holiday favors by mail,
in order to tighten the burdens OF the
carriers.
Probably there is no other city I'M
Christendom that is thus overwhelmed
with presents for its people, sent from
remote points by loving friends. The
present inrush of such offerings, how
ever, is in the nature of reflex action
from a similar movement outward that
began fully a month ago. No other city
sends abroad such an immense relative
mass of holiday presents as go out from
Los Angeles in the three or four weeks
preceding Christmas.
And yet there is nothing strange in
this popularity. AS Los Angeles has
doubled i'm population within the last
five or six years, it follows that half
the inhabitants were dwellers abroad
only half a dozen years ago. And
probably three-G -Gourths of the popula-
tion dates back not more than a dozen
years as residents of the city. Conse-
quently, the great mass of our people
are intimately linked by ties of con-
sanguinity or close friendship, with
dwellers in distant states, many on
them with dwellers in far distant
lands.
1t is this close linking of our popu-
lation with vast numbers of people,
scattered in all the states and in many
foreign lands, that forms the chief
basis of the city's amazing growth
numerically and materially. Recipients
of the presents that clog the postoffice
have ample evidence on that point in
the missives that come with the pres
ents. The vast majority of them
breathe a yearning to be with the re-
cipients and to realize what has oft
been written to them about this glori-
GUS land of sunshine.
Directly after the holidays we shall
begin to see abundant evidence of the
magnetism that draws dwellers abroad
to our blessed Southern California. The
great mass Of ea Stern Deople who coD =
| template a sojourn here are wont to
defer starting until after the holiday
period. That period they wish to enjoy
in the old home land, which we of this
comparatively new country look back
ward to with fond remembrance.
This season the post-holiday arrivals
promise far to surpass all previous
records and it is needless to say that
all will be most heartily welcomed.
