SOUTHERN CRAFTSMANSHIP

Not since a period antedating the
civil war has southern craftsmanship
in congress been so influential as it
is at the present time. In the senate,
particularly, southern men are recog-
nized as leaders in the most import
ant issue that has been under discus
sion in many years And, anomalous as
it seems, the ablest defenders of the
presidents attitude III that issue-the
railway rate bill-are senators from
South Carolina and Texas.
There could be no more impressive
evidence of the thorough re-cementing
of the Union than is seen in the spec
tacle of Senator Tillman and Senator
Bailey fighting a forensic battle in be-
half of President Roosevelt. The spec
tacle is all the more striking because
the senators against whom those typi-
cal southerners contend are the most
prominent leaders of the republican
party.
Senator Aldrich is the leading fig
ure in the group of defenders of rail-
way monopoly, while Senator Tillmar
is chief sponsor for the pending rate
bill. The former is connected by fam
lily ties with the chief Of American
monopolists, daughter of Senator Aid.
rich being the wife of the junior Johr
D. Rockefeller. Senator Bailey, the
most potential aid of Senator Tillman
represents the largest state in the
Union, while Senator Aldrich represents
the smallest-the little pocket borough
of Rhode Island.
This senatorial battle of intellectual
giants, in view of the peculiar features
alluded to, strikes the obseryant Ameri
can as extremely significant. 1t shows
the greater weight of republican influ
ence in the senate arrayed in defense o.
railway monopoly, with southern dem
ocratic leaders on the aggressive in be-
half Of the great mass of the American
people.
Is this remarkable condition the en-,
tering wedge of split leading to a new
national political alignment? 1t surely
will render the breach between the
dominant factor in the republican par,
ty, as represented by congressional op
ponents of the rate bill, and the grea
body of the people as represented by
such champions as President Roose
Welt and such senatorial giants as Bal
lev and Tillman.

MORE PUSH FOR Y.M.C.A.

To an outsider, there does not seem
to be quite enough push and vim in
the canvass for Y. M. c. A. building
funds to carry the proposition to sue
cess. The association has undertaken
to raise $3.50, 900 by May l, and has two
weeks left in which to do it. Only half
that sum is in hand, and of the money
now pledged $780, 900 was received from
four men.
This doesn't speak we'll for Los An
geles. It's too slow a pace for such
city as this. 1t doesn't augur well
for the raising of the entire fund with
in the time specified. This is especial
ly true inasmuch as it is self-evident
that the big subscribers are already
listed, and the balance must come from
the small contributors. Los Angeles
must get out and hustle, else its rep
utation for "doing things" will suf-
fer Kansas City, not nearly so hust-
ling a town, raised 100000 for its Y.
NJ. C. A. in twenty-four days.
OF course, this is not intended as a
reproach to those who have this affair
in hand. Nor is it a slight on those
business men who have devoted weeks
of valuable time to this work. Had
everyone labored as faithfully as have
these few, the money would have been
in hand ere this. But of the commit
tee of 100 how many have put in a
fraction of the time they might have
given to this enterprise? The Y. M. c..
A. is a character factory for the youth
of Los Angeles. and the surest way
to offset the evils of Ascot, the saloons,
the road houses and the like is to make
this character factory efficient strong
and capable. The raw material is here

ALONE IN THE GARDEN
ARE ALWAYS SOLD AT ONE PRICE

Would you hear the sad sweet STORY
OF love beyond degree?
How the blessed Lord of glory
Lived and died to make us free!
Kneeling in the garden, weeping
He prayed with pleading tones
While disciples all were sleeping
Heeding not his heartfelt groans.
Alone in the garden
The dark Gethsemane-
Hear the friend of sinners pleading,
Sweating drops of blood for me.
Well he knew that on the morrow
A thorn crown he must wear;
But a deeper source of sorrow
Drew from him the midnight prayer;
Soon his followers would leave him'
Denied, betrayed, so true,
PRAYING, "Father, oh forgive them
For they know not what they do
Whila upon the cross suspended,
I,oi the sun refused to shine;
When the agony was ended,
Granite rocks were rent in twain
Thus it was the Lord of heaven,
His life laid down, that we
Might repent and be forgiven.
And the earth from sin made free
In the sepulcher reclining,
His bleeding body lay
Lo! while midnight stars were SHINING
Angels rolled the stone away
1t was early in the morning,
Her soul cast down with gloom,
While her loving heart was BURNING
Mary sought the Saviours tomb
Blinded were her eyes with weeping,
Her Lord, her life, was gone
Long and weary vigils keeping.
Waiting for the coming dawn,
Lo! he comes! the Lord of Glory!
Her joy no words can tell;
Jesus said unto her: MARY
Touch me not, all, all is well.
"Weep no more Mary.
With me thou shalt dwell;
In my Fathers house forever;
Weep no more, all, all is well.

The board of public works is quite
right in refusing to close East Fifth

hymns, and young women enter as
enthusiastically into the singing of
the latter as into the pouring of the
first named. The first hymn tea of the
season was glittering social success.

foe Of the saloons of that section of the
city. He has recently opened crusade
against those places that sell beer to
chilren; the purchases not being made
of course, for their own use, but il
pals to carry home to their parents
He is very much in earnest in his
endeavor to stop this form of evil, and
his efforts have resulted in the refusal
in many saloons to furnish liquor Of
any kind when the order is brought
by a child.

Walters BaIk at Preachers

Why won't the walters serve the
dominies? That's the question that is
bothering the hospitality committee of
the New York east conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, now in
session in Brooklyn. The ministers
were to be quartered at the Brevoort
hotel, but as soon as the fifteen wait
ers saw the onrushing host of preach
ers who, 300 strong, swooped down on
the hotel, they fled in dismay Other
walters We're hired, and they, too,
lacked the job. Then green hands
were secured but they couldn't stand
the gaff. Now the ministers are hun
cry. They not only have a keen edge
on their appetites, but they are pos
sessed of downright hunger-the kind
which makes you look longingly at a
fat pink baby and walk slowly instead
of going to bake shop.

courtesies Between Men

New Workers still cling to the ancient
custom of tipping their hats when
greeting a male friend or acquaintance
1t is a common sight to see staid
prosperous-looking business man as he
passes an acquaintance tipping his hat
although the other is alone, and un-
accompanied by a woman. 1t is the
same after a party has been together
somewhere, at dinner probably, or al
the theater. You will notice that as
one separates himself from the Others
he will say goodnight, or au revoir
and then tip his hat. Also, when one
man is introduced to another, it is dol
lars to a subway ticket that he will
lift his chapeau. Wonder why it is?

New MarveIs in Steamers

A steamship that could run away
from a subway express train and race
over the seas from New York to

hours will be an accomplished fact
when the monster vessels, the Lusi-

ocean express traffic soon. The world
sat up and marveled at the perform
ance of the Deutschland and Lucania,
but the new turbine steamships will
be able to pass them on the ocean al
most as If they were anchored. More
| over, they will be the longest boats
in the world by almost 100 feet broad
er than any of the German leViathans
and at the same time possessing the
shapely lines of ocean greyhounds like
the Lucania. The new steamers are
| no feet long between perpendiculars
or 800 feet, counting the stern over
hang. The Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
now the longest steamship in the world,
is 705 feet long, with breadth of 50
feet. The twins have SS feet breadth
and even they will compare with the
German boat as a Sandy Hook flyer
might with a ferryboat, so fine and
clean are their lines.

WEEK END GOSSIP OF LIVELY
INTEREST FROM NEW YORK

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 14.-New Workers
must "step lively" when ordered to do
so by subway or 81" road guards. The
rights of the guards in the premises
were made plain today by Justice
Laughlin, in the appellate division of
the supreme court, during the review
of an action brought by a woman who
had been injured owing to q car start
ing while she was alishting therefronl.
The lower courts had decided for the
woman and the case was appealed. 1t
was shown that the plaintiff had kept
her seat until the car stopped and then
tried to alight. The defense of the car
company was that the woman had re-
fused to obey the injunction of the
guard to step lively" and that her
injuries We're due to this refusal. The
court said: THE PLAINTIFFS conduct
was quite UNUSUAL for a young. active
person. She remained seated, not
merely until the car slowed up, but
until 1t had stopped. If passengers
made no preparations, even while the
cars are slowing down, to alight, but
waited until the momentum ceased al
together, and then stepped back or
aside for passengers to board the car,
the long distance speed of the cars
would not equal that of a pedestrian
There has long been cry of protest
against the "step lively" order, but
Justice Laughlins decision seems to
end 1t ALL
Coney Is Ready
Coney is getting ready. The "hot dog"
man made his appearance there this
afternoon and all that is now needed
to set things going in regular old-time
fashion are the crowds. Coney will
seldom be more pleasant than it was
today. With the sun lowering some
where about the 65 mark and with JUST
walking comfortable those who took
advantage of the day reaped the bene-
fit in more ways than one. The season
at Coney will not open for month
yet. Still, there are hundreds of people
who have been taking flying trips there
during the past few days and, taking
this as a hint to get busy, the pro-
prietors of the different amusement
places at the resort have begun to get
things in readiness. Today, in what
ever direction one looked, painters,
carpenters and other artisans were at
work, refurnishing and remodeling the
different catch-pennies, of which Little
Coney" boasts more than her just por-
tion. The attractions will in the main
be the same as last year So far as
could be learned there will be no addi-
tions to the list, although several of
those operated last year will be en-
larged. Brighton Beach is also sitting
up. This beautiful place promises to
be even more attractive this season.
The Boer war spectacle is the chief
attraction at Brighton.

AS a result of numerous bank defal

vacation every year, so that his books

How to Make Money Easily
Here's tip for women who have
to earn their own living by hard work.
First of all, cut out the wash tub
and the ironing board. Let men do
the office cleaning. You can make more
money by establishing a news stand at
some corner of the town. New York
women have done so, with the result
that scores of them are making good
lvings independent of their relatives
and friends. There is hardly a corner
in uptown or downtown New York but
has it's news stand, the same being pre-
sided over by Woman-usually one
that is middle-aged. And, from what
can be learned, they all make fairly
good money. 1t is easier work than
taking in washing.
