really disposed to think that young Mr..
Perkins was quite a model chap. But
now he is arrested for larceny--not
even for burglary or embezzlement-
just for plain larceny! In other words,
he stole.
The point Island every day it is
made plainer-that the standards of
righteousness, strenuosity. making
money, winning fame, that have been
set up of late are all wrong. Money
has been the god they have sought to
worship; the golden calf, the only
ideal of success. Yet every time one
of the worshipers at this shrine is
seen in the clear light o. day, away
from the shine of his idol, he is proved
to be a tawdry, cheap. unmanly fraud.
Isn't it time we set up new
standard of manhood in the United
States-a standard of right living, hon
esty, cleanness of purpose, unselfish-
ness and truth? Isn't it time we turned
aside from the worship of the golden
calves of the Perkins ilk, to the ideal
set up for all time by the living God?

RAILROAD MEN SAY
HUNTINGTON is BACK
OF FRANCHISE

A number of high railroad officials
were interviewed yesterday regarding
the possibility of Gould and Hunting
ton combine, and all said that since
studying the situation and looking into
the franchise which was passed Mon
day in the city council and legaliZed
yesterday giving away a franchise for
building a road in the Los Angeles
riverbed they are convinced that it is
sought by Huntington alone.
Gould isn't in the habit of combin-
ing with other railroad men," said one
official yesterday, land l don't think
that he has in this case.
81 believe that Huntington wants this
franchise to give him additional power
in the fight which he is now engag
ing in with Hartman. | do not believe
that he would enter into any combina-
ton that would likely be detriment
to him if he should succeed in master
ing Huntington"
Another reason that has been given
for Gould not going about it to secure
a franchise in the manner that this one
was obtained is that the people of Los
Angeles would gladly give Gould en-
trance into the city; that the people
would compel the city council by pub
lie sentiment to allow such a franchise
whether the members of it were op-
posed or not.
That Gould will seek entrance into
Los Angeles, as was printed exclusively
in The Herald on March II, is no longer
doubted by railroad men.
They say that Goulds attention is
row completely taken up by the fight
that is being waged with the Southern
Pacific at Oakland, but as soon as that
trouble is settled Los Angeles will be
the next point that a Gould line will
touch.
The Santa Fe is taking advantage of
the trouble that Hartman is now en-
broiled in and is quietly making prepa-
rations to enter San Pedro.
With such formidable enemies as
Huntington, Gould and the Santa Fe
it looks as though the coming year will
be busy one for Hartman.

WASHBURN SCORES
INDEFENSIBLE ACT
OF CITY COUNCIL

w. j. Washburn, president of the
chamber of commerce, said:
1T has always seemed to me that a
city should be run upon as strict a
business basis as any private cor
poration. and this latest move of the
council is certainly not good business.
The city of Los Angeles is too badly in
need of money to have a franchise
worth $1,000,000 to be given away.
Not only has the council given away
Il valuable franchise. but it does not
know to whom it has given it. 1t is
most unwise move for any public body
to make, governed as it is supposed
to be by the will of the people | do
not believe the people will approve of
the action which amounts to taking
T000,O0O out of the public treasury.
at is immaterial who finally gets the
franchise, the point is that it has been
given for nothing and that no one
really knows who is getting it.
THE city of Los Angeles is under
a heavy financisl burden and it is just
as senseless for city to give away all
of it's assets when it is in poor condi-
ton financially as it would be for a
business house of any sort to do the
same thing.
THE city should receive just as
much compensation for what it has
to sell as any one would under the
same circumstances. I am absolutely
convinced that the members of the
council had their minds made up to
pass that franchise without regard to
what it might cost. The stand made
by the council in going against all
legal advice in granting the franchise
is absolutely indefensible and 1 be-
lieVe that measures should be employed
which Will rescind its action"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-29

the ordinance was presented to City
Clerk Lelande within less than an hour
after it had been voted on by the coun-
ell with the request that he attest to
it. 1t was then planned to take 1t to
Acting Mayor Summerland for his sig
nature. But Mr.. Lelande refused to
attest the ordinance in such hasty
fashion and began an investigation,
with the result that he found Hough-
toms vote i'm the affirmative had been
Illegal, as it had been cast after
Blanchard announced the measure
lost.
Action Is Repeated
This necessitated the entire proceed
ings being done over yesterday.
The franchise which Mr.. Gilmore
asks extends from the southern city
boundaries to Also street, crossing
Ninth, Seventh, Fourth, First and
Also streets and ending at a point
where the San Gabriel Rapid Transit
line begins.
Mr.. Gilmore declares the plan is to
riprap and bulllhead the river bank for
a distance of twenty feet and build the
line on that. The franchise grants him
the privilege of operating steam rail,
road for the purpose of carrying pas
sengers, freight United States mails
the appearance of being a transcon-
tinental railroad, but it is possible for
an electric line to be operated on it
Notwithstanding the gladstone promises
held out in the franchise.

"CHARGED WITH LARCENY"

One by one, the halos which the big
insurance magnates placed upon their
own brows in the days before young
Mr.. Hyde dined French actresses, are
becoming tarnished and dull. The
latest victim is George w. Perkins,
former vice president of the New York
Life company. who is arrested for the
shockingly vulgar crime of larceny.
Mr.. Perkins is Mr.. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan's handy young man. In 1904, it is
alleged, during the presidential cam
paign, when Mr.. Roosevelt was elected
Republican campaign fund, to wit $4S,-
702 Thereupon or thereafter, he, as
vice president of the New York Life
company ordered paid to himself as
himself this aforesaid sum. And this
arrest is based on this transaction, it
being one step toward making him put
it back"
OF course, it will be remembered
Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate
in 1904, called attention to lavish cor
poration contributions to this Republic
an fund, and Mr.. Roosevelt threw con-
niption fits in denying the assertion.
1t is neither here nor there that this
proves that Judge Parker was right.
But that isn't the point. 1t is de-
sired here to call attention to the
fatuous policy of this same Mr.. Per-
kins. Mr.. Morgans handy young man.
1t has been Mr.. Perkins habit to pose
as a sef-made man, and as such to
give advice to aspiring youths how to
follow in his footsteps. He has prated
much of his abilities, his single handed
efforts and his shrewdness, and others
have yawped exceedingly of his fine
methods and qualities, till one was

STRIKE BACK AT ARCHDEACON
Los Angeles Christian Scientists
Resent Preate's
Remarks
Los Angeles, March 2S, 1870

Los Angeles, March 2S, 1906.
Editor Herald: In your issue Cf
March 20 appears an article under the
caption "Christian Science Read Out"
wherein Archdeacon Sinclair of Lon
don, England, is quoted in regard to
Christian Science, and inasmuch as his
statement is incorrect / ask the priVi-
lege of correcting it,
The archdeacon says that Christian
Science under appearance of an agree
ment with Christianity was really full
of deadly perversions." That such a
statement could be made at this late
day by one who undoubtedly considers
himself an educated minister of the
gospel is almost beyond comprehension.
Anyone who has read or will read the
text book of Christian Science, Science
and Health, with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, will
be convinced that Christian Science is
based wholly upon the teachings of
vestigate may know that Christian
Science is proving daily that it under
stands his teachings through accom-
the works he said would fol-.
low true belief i.e., the healing of the
sick and the reclaiming of the sinner.
Christian Science is not new re-
ligion; its mission is to inform suffer-
ing humanity that the teaching and
works of Jesus Christ and his apostles
are just as available now as in the
first century.
Healing the sick is not the primary
object of Christian Science, but is an
incident in the moral and spiritual up
lifting that accompanies the sacred in
fluence of the ministration of this
science. Thus Christian Science is full
filling the commands of the master to
preach the gospel and heal the sick"
and this establishes the fact that
Christian Science is pure Christianity
in the fullest sense of the term.

Railroad News
By Associa ted Press.

By Associa ted Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 2S.
--Exag ggerated reports having been
published of the damage caused to
railroad property in southern Nevada
by foods the following official state
ment as to the conditions on the Salt
Lake route was given out this after
noon at the headquarters of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail-
road:
The washouts occurred at different
places through the canyon just over
the Utah line in Nevada, and the fact
that there are several different breaks
along the line makes it all the more
difficult to repair the grade. The road,
1t is expected, will be open within ten
days, as every available team and
man is OH the ground with work
trains and appliances.
1.-The trouble is due to the unprece-
dented storm, and as much of the
washed-out grade was originally built
in 1890, and has withstood the weather
for sixteen years. it shows how unusual
the flood is to that section.
THE local train service is strictly
maintained to Acoma, New, and all
over Utah. All passengers are being
properly cared for and routed via the
old line to California.
No towns are cut off, as Salt Lake
trains run to Acoma and Los Angeles
trains run northeast to Moapa. The
total of miles of roadbed washed out in
different places will not exceed five
miles"

BABBLING OF GREEN FIELDS


President Underwood of the Erie
railroad, who is just now enjoying the
sunshine of Los Angeles and Pasadena,
takes such a happy and luminous view
of industrial and commercial affairs
in this country that The Herald hesi-
tates to disturb his day dreams by even
q suggestion of doubt as to their
reality. But we want to be sure that
he is right. 1t would crafty all The
Heralds thousands of readers to know
that this great and famous railway
president had unearthed a condition so
delightful and pleasing that there is
no more room for complaint and that
the blessed millennium is near at hand.
But we are apprehensive that Pres-
dent Underwood is so satisfied with his
own splendid position and is so deli
ciously situated here in Los Angeles for
a brief season that he is prone to take
a roseate view of affairs not entirely
warranted by the hard, cold, bloodless
facts.
Mr.. Underwood says. for instance, in
today's Herald that there is no coal
trust; and yet he admits that Incl
dentally he is the head of about
dozen combined coal companies. May
be the people don't know what coal
trust is, and perhaps the black dragon
which they meet every winter in the
east, coming out of the snow-clad for
ests, is only a fairy in disguise. We
hope this is true.
Mr.. Underwood also says that the
coal miners are already receiving
enough wages and that they have
plenty to eat and wear. OF course,
now, that is a question of fact which
very few people in Los Angeles are
prepared to discuss from their own per-
sonal knowledge, but they know in
general way that the coal miners are
reported to be about the poorest paid
of the employees of any industry, and
that on occasions there are reports of
much suffering and never any COM
forts among them. We would be glad
to know that the coal miners are really
living on porterhouse steaks and mush-
rooms, and that all rumors of their
extreme poverty are unfounded. But
we are afraid to believe it. 1t sounds
too good to be true.
Mr.. Underwood says that Mr.. Baer,
the head of the alleged coal trust, is
mighty fine man. We are glad to
hear this, for we have had, from time
al II AZ
unprejudiced, charges that Mr.. Baer
has a hard heart and that he says the
alleged coal trust rules by divine right.
1t just goes to show that you cannot
always judge a man by hearing only
one description of him.
Still, at the risk of seeming discour-
teous to visitor who is enjoying to the
full the heavenly climate of Southern
California, we feel compelled to ques-
tion again the reality of President I'M
derwood's day dreams. We fear they
are Pigments of his imagination. In
fact a splendid feature of this eli
mate is that everybody is constrained
to feel rich-as indeed he is in some
respects-rich in health, rich in visions
of flowers and sunshine and vernal
beauty, and, if he is right smart and
enterprising and careful, rich in world
ly goods. But there is a lot of pre-
cious lotus-eating peace in the air of
Southern California and President I'm
derwood must have succumbed to it.
Surely he does not expect the people
to believe all he says for to all ap
pearances he is simply "babbling of
green fields"
