ROMANS WHO "HAp THE STUFF

A magazine writer goes back to
ancient Rome when there were no
railroads or trusts or corporations,
and gives some figures on the individ-
ual fortunes of that day which might
look attractive even to some of our
modern plutocrats
Seneca. the philosopher and author,
was worth $17,5O0OOO Lentulus, the
augur, SIG, 600, 900; Crassus, the poll
tician who formed with Caesar and
Pompey the first triumvirate, had
landed estate of more than $S,OO0,O00;
the Emperor Tiberius left a fortune of
Sl1S,OOO,O0O, which the depraved Caligula
got rid of in less than year. A dozen
others held possessions that ran into
the millions.
1t is true that these Romans did not
make these fortunes in what we would
call regular commercial operations.
But they got the money and they held
on to 1t. which is about all that can
safely be said of possessions that run
into seven figures in any age or coun-
try.-Omaha World-HeraId.

PEDESTRIANS AND SKATING

Los ANGELES, June 12.-(Edltor
Herald): You hear lot of talk about
the danger to pedestrians from boys
skating on the sidewalks. The city boy
must have some diversion, and if the
pedestrian" would only consider the
vast amount of pleasure given the boy
as against the small amount of danger
to the pedestrian he will find the argu-
ment in favor of the boy.
In this day of few children in families
the boy comes in for a great deal of
criticism, but if we want our next
generation strong and healthy remem-
ber, we must consider the boy" and
his sports, as we'll as the narrow view
of the misanthrope or the dyspeptic.
/ think the records will show no case
of any pedestrian having been hurt by
a boy skating, and as to noise-if you
want quietude prohibit the street car
and the automobile. If boy cannot
have the use of the sidewalk where
would you put him-on the street or in
the saloon? He cannot run a street
car nor pilot an auto" and yet he
must have some amusement and exer-
else. ] have no boys, but am for the
boys. every time And if they do not
develop into broader minded men than
the cynic who is always carping be-
cause they indulge in "boy' sports, I

MEAT PACKING VIGILANCE

That the. soffense of the Chicago
packers is rank and doth smell to
heaven" is evidenced by the fact that
whiffs of it come westward 2OOO miles
to taint the flowery breath of the air of
Southern California. Not that Chicago
packing house conditions exist in the
land of sunset, but that the taint of the
eastern revelations is causing thoughts
of precautionary measures in this re-
mote section.
There is no reason I. believe that the
meat industry in Los Angeles and the
minor cities hereabout is open to sus-
picion. In this city it is understood
that the packers court investigation
and that they favor stringent system
of inspection. A representative of one
of the large local packing houses has
even gone to the length of outlining an
ton for the safeguarding of meats in
process of preparation for consumers.
Los Angeles depends upon the alert
ness of its board of health for safety
from any conditions approaching those
which have been disclosed at Chicago.
If any defects are discoverable they will
be quickly remedied, as all citizens con-
fidently believe. At the same time the
fact is remembered that eternal Wig
ilance is the price of living.
The sister cities, it should be noticed,
are as viglant as Los Angeles in this
respect. We observe that several of
them, while finding no cause for COM
plant against their meat dealers, are
moving for methods of more rigorous
inspection and more stringent sanitary
regulations.

ROUNDUP OF WORLDS WEALTH

The estimated fortunes of one hun
dred of the worlds richest men, as
printed in The Herald, present an in
teresting subject of study. The figures
are only approximate, of course, for
even the multimillionaires themselves
could not make accurate returns. Prob
ably some of the estimates are too high
and others too low, but the figures are
supposed to be derived from the best
obtainable sources of information
The aggregate wealth of the one
hundred persons named is Sc, $50, 900, 900.
II is rather startling to notice, in the
first place, that the amount is nearly

the civilized countries of the world.
The total amount of what Is called

CANNING CALIFORNIA eREEzEs

California air condensed into liquid
state and packed for export is the latest
product of the Golden state to appear
upon the market. 1t is now possible to
eat California oranges which have
never left California air in their long
journey across the continent, and in
deed they may be served at ones table
with sauce of the breeZes which blow
over their native groves.
A comprehensive plant for the manu-
facture of liquid air and of oxygen LIS
been erected in the city Of Los Ange-
les, which is the only plant in the
country manufacturing these products
on commercial scale, with the ex-
ception of a New York plant whose out
put is confined to surgical and metal
lurgical uses.
Situated in the heart of warm, fruit
growing country, without natural ice
and separated from its chief markets
by tremendous stretches of hot coun-
try, the question of refrigeration of
fruit cars is one of the most important
which the Californian has to consider.
If, as Is hoped, the product of the Los
Angeles factory can be used as a sue
cessful substitute for manufactured ice,
the market is at hand, and the new in
dustry is ideally located. Fruit grow
ers, car builders, merchants, shipping
agents and packers await with inter-
est the extended trials which are now
being nstituted.-Technical World

He said that the lawyer had put the

A Valet Worth Having
Then we run down the stairs and into

that he Is, goes back and bundles all
my things into trunks and drags them
down six flights of stairs and out into
the open, one by one. While he Is gone
for another and another, l watch those

makes the man who takes an interest In

Then my valet succeeds in getting a
man with a cart, who says that he will
take us to the Oakland ferry for a
certain sum, and we agree to his terms.
We pile the luggage in the cart and
climb in after it, and the man whips UP

PARDEEs EARNED NOMINATION

Governor Pardee win come within
one Of realizing Peters exhortation.
Wherefore tho rather, brethren. give
diligence to make your calling and cleo
ton sure" BY his antaeonistic atti-
tude toward Los Angeles the governor
has made his second-term calling sure,
but he also has assured defeat in the
election.
There is no reasona BILE doubt that the
name of George G. Pardee will head
the Republican state ticket IN the COM
ing campaign. He has earned the NOM
nation by his readiness to Crook the
pregnant hinges of the knee, that
thrift may follow fawning" Thrift
will not follow fawning in this case,
but the governor stakes his faith and
his political fortunes on the hazard.
1t was clearly a matter Of deliberate
calculation that caused the governor to
betray Los Angeles and to break his
word as given to the city's representa-
tlves. He found himself between the
two horns Of dilemma. He remeul-
bered how Los Angeles saved his po-
litical neck in 1902, when the rope was
dangling over his head and he would
have gladly paved the way for similar
salvation next November But a word
of command came from San Francisco
which caused the hinges of the gov
ernor's knee to crook suddenly.
Turn down Los Angeles, promise or
no promise" was the notice served by
Abe Ruef and his side partners of the
cisco. Added thereto were the howls
from Oakland, Sacramento and other
envious northern towns that Jumped ct
the opportunity to give Los Angeles n
stab in the back. And the alternative
practically offered to the governor
caused chills up and down his spinal
column. It was to the effect that If
he failed to obey the command from
San Francisco he would be defeated, in
the Republican state convention, for
the gubernatorial nomination.
Hence the quick turn of the Janus
face. The Los Angeles pull in the cleo
tion he viewed, correctly, as a matter
of secondary importance. First and
foremost assurance of the nomination
was essential. That must be obtained
as viewed by the governor, even in face
of the fact that he owed his executive
position to Los Angeles and despite his
pledged word to the citys representa-
tives.
The foregoing is succinct and cor
rect solution. obviously, of Governor
Pardee's duplicity concerning Los An
geles. He will not get his reward in
British gold, as Benedict Arnold was
promised for his West Point treachery,
but he will get what he seems to covet
more-another Republican nomination
for the governorship.
The Herald earnestly hopes that
nothing may intervene to disappoint
him. He has sealed his political doom,
and just as certainly as the coming of
election day Southern California will
pay him in full for his ingratitude and
treachery.
