woMAN's MORBID CURIOSITY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1s.-(Editor
Herald); The respectable portion of the
community sincerely thanks The Herald
for inveighing against the press OF
females 1--WE can hardly call them
women) who crowded the court room
every day during the trial of Stack
pole. They have crowded the place at
the expense of skirts, hats and womens
gear generally to listen. without a
blush, to the salacious, filthy details of
the Illicit love affair and criminal in
timacy of two moral degenerates which
made mems %aces- turn red to hear.
When Stackpole was led out of the
court room they rushed like a mad mob
to catch last glimpse Of the wretch
who had debauched one of their sex
and murdered her awful husbandl
do not believe there is decent man
in the city but rejoices that his mother,
sister or wife was not among the num-
Der of morbid women who crowded that
court room. No wonder that young
women are led astray when so many
females who profess to move in respect
able society will crowd a court room
for solid week and stand in a sitting
atmosphere to listen to the most vile
and uncanny details of sexual crime
and murder.
Let us hope that the scenes of last
week will never be repeated in this
city or state. OBSERVER.

TALES OF A "HERETIc"

If half the stories concerning the
kindness and generosity of DR.. Alger-
non s. Crapsey of Rochester are true
one must wish that such ''heretics" as
he were to be found in every COM
munity. That he is man of genuine
piety and large heart there can be no
doubt. Not long ago, it is said, DR..
Crapsey heard of {. family in the COM
munity which had diphtheria. Every
member of the family was sick with
the dread disease, and no one would go
near them for fear of contracting It.
They were poor and destitute. AL
though they were not connected with
the church, DR.. Crapsey went to see
them as soon as he heard of their sore
straits At the risk of his own health
he entered the house and proceeded to
set things straight Finding an apron
of the housewives behind the door he
put 1t on. took off his coat, relied up his
sleeves and washed all of the dirty
dishes which had accumulated. He then
provided for the needs of the family
and did all he could to help them
through their troube-Leslies Weekly.

STARCH MAKING

Consul w. w. Canada reports that
the Mexican manufacture of laundry
starch In the consular district of Vera
Cruz is still conducted in the most
primitive manner. He says:
Along the banks Of the Papaloapan
river, say from Alvarado to San Andres
Tuxtla. the natives are engaged in
making this starch from the yucca
(cassava, which is also a staple stock
food article in Florida), for the culti-
walton of which these river lands are
well adapted No machinery worthy
the name Is employed. The operation
consists in first pc ling the tuber, scrap
ing the remainder into pulp and then
washing the substance in water. After
the water, now charged with this
starchy matter, has had time to settle
the product will be found deposited on
the bottom of the tank. The water is
then decanted and the starch dried.
We are informed that not a single
starch making establishment exists
worthy of the name of factory.
I'm this part of Msxico the starch
made of the 'yuca' is preferred to any
other At present it sells at wholesale
for 1925 Mexican currency per arroba
($1.63 American for twenty-five pounds1,
but this Is owing to a strong demand
from the state of Yucatan at the pres
ent time, which market is being sup
piled from here. At times the price is
much lower The Mexican tariff
makes no distinction in the classifica-
tion of the various kinds of starch.

other, and the import duty is quoted
at 10 cents per kilogram e cents Amer
ican) per 2.20 pounds legal weight
(material and wrapper) We know that
in the more northern parts of this re-
public starch ma de from corn and
wheat is manufactured, but very little
finds it's way to this section of the
country. II would appear that this
consular district ought to prove a
worthy field for the American manu-
facturer Of starch making machinery

PARDEE THE MAN

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 1s.-(Editor
HeraldD; 1t now looks as If Pardee
would be the machine nominal ton fol
governor. This is greatly to be re-
GREETED by Republicans who have the
best interests of their party in view.
1t means sure defeat if the Democrats
nominate a good man.
Many of us look upon Pardee as the
weakest man that has ever been elected
governor of this state. He is a past
master in profanity and his word is
not reliable. He evidently is no friend
of Southern California, and of Los An
geles in particular. He has shown him
self ready to block the Owens river
project If he can do so.
If he is nominated by Ruef and the
balance of the machine all the Demo
Gratis have to do is to bring forward a
good man and they will go into power
for the next four years. The moral
people Of the state have some rights
that the Republican machine will have
to respect.
Leading Republicans know that Par
dee was not elected before, but was
counted in and Lane counted out. Here
is a chapter in the proceedings of the
Republican machine that will make in
teresting reading If Pardee is brought
forward a second time.

EXIT The ERocK COAL

The doom of the frock coat has been
announced for so many years that peo-
pie hardly appear to realize that this
season 1t has actually gone. The morn
ing coat is now the correct thing.
There has been no sudden startling
effect in the change. During the past
two or three seasons morning coats
have been seen in the West End In
gradually increasing numbers, until
they have, by common consent, come to
be recognized as the only possible coat
for society men.
The Duke of Marlborough and Me-
Burdett-Couts have been two of the
most consistent adherents of the morn.
ing coat, which they have always worn.
whether at a garden party or race
meeting. There Is a great difference.
however, in the style of their garments.
The duke wears a coat with a fashion
able long rolf collar and decided
waist, while Mr.. Burdett- Couts favors
large roomy coat without the
waist
The new morning coat is compro-
mise between those two styles. It is
fiat braided, easy fitting in the chest
and close fitting at the waist, while the
skirts are cut long and are sharply
rounded away. The material used is a
soft black angola, rather rough in
finish.
The new coat is very popular with
men who are not SO young as they used
to be. 1t has no tendency to add age
to the appearance of the wearer as in
the case of the frock coat.--London

EQUINE ENGLAND

When the motor ear first began to
come into popular use ten years or so
ago, il was generally predicted that the
horse was doomed to early extinction,
and since they have become so numer-
Gus and universal one would naturally
expect to find that the number of
horses in the United Kingdom has
been seriously reduced. 1t is a little
astonishing, therefore, to find that this
Is by no means the case. In 1897 the
number OF horses in Great Britain and
ireland was 2.O70,000; in 1908 (the latest
figures available for comparison) the
number was 2,069, 944 Thus 1t appears
that, IA spite of the tens Of thousands
of MOTOR vehicles which were doing
the work Of horses in 1903 the mum ber
of these useful animals had only been
reduced by ffty-six, or at the rate Of
less than ten q year.-Tit-B Bits

in the next two years without visiting
"Fairview,' as the Bryan home is
called, and the friends of Mr.. Bryan
viii see that the place is not carried
away by relic hunterst-the same class
that almost demolished the Harrison

No one can give any idea OF Mr..
Bryan's wealth. He owns In addition

property In the city. and has consider
able personal property besides his
printing office. The type for Mr..
Bryan's paper, the Commoner. is set up

The pay roll of the Commoner has fifty
persons about forty Of whom are en-
ployed In the mailing department.
There are no advertising agents and
the paper contains few advertisements.
The chief work of the editorial depart
ment Is to see that nothing lnimical to
Mr., Bryan's creeed gets into the paper.
Mr.. Bryan has a large income from
his paper, from special articles for
newspapers, from lectures and from his
books, and the most conservative esti-
mate Of his wealth is that he is worth

THE WANING SUMNER

Only a few more days and August
will have passed, the dullest and gen.
orally least enjoyable of all the
months in Southern California. In this
month business is at low tide and
many city dwellers seek the noun
tains and the seaside for comfort. In
Los Angeles the many thousand MEM
bers of the stay-at-home club reduce
work to the minimum, growl at ex-
ceptionally warm periods, feel thank
full for the average pleasant days and
sleep the sleep of the blessed at night
vacated by August almost before we
know it. The advent of the first of
seven consecutive "r'' months appears
to be of less Importance here than 1t
is in the east because we know that
about three weeks more of real sum-
mer are in store for Southern Cali
fornia. Our eastern friends, however,
look forward to the first of September
as the autumn Inauguration day. On
that day the social quarantine is
raised WHICH makes II ODllBdlOry upon
persons "in the swim" to exile them
selves from home From all places of
summer resort there will be an exodus
of city folk at the end of August and
joyous tumbling into homes at the
dawn of September.
In Los Angeles the scenes witnessed
in the east at the opening of Septem-
Der are delayed until the close of the
astronomical summer. which comes
with the autumnal equinox. But earlier
than that period, and with the opening
of September, the revival of fall busi-
ness will be in evidence. Preparations
for autumnal business activity are in
preparation now at the retail stores
and shops. where the clearing
process indicates that the commercial
last rose of summer" is passing. The
coming of September will witness a
marked change when all shopping
places are arrayed with displays of the
latest and most alluring novelties that
are found in the leading cities of the
United States and Europe.

A NoN.rnAslBlH pRoJhcr

From the viewpoint OF a specialist in
tuberculosis II may be a good idea to
make Los Angeles a magnet to attract
consunptives from the four quarters Of
the earth. No doubt It would be good
work, in the cause Of AFFLICTED human
ity. to carry out the plan Of establish
ing a great open air camp. as an adj
junct OF the county hospital for the
treatment Of all consumptives.
But while Los Angeles always is
ready and willing to aid sufferers from
the dreaded mslady, II must not be for
gotten that charity begins at home. -
Without any such allurement as is
suggested by Or. Knopf. the eminent
New York specialist in tuberculosis,
Los Angeles is the chief objective point
now for victims Of consumption. Such
unfortunates come here from every part
OF the United States. and some from
foreign countries, in hope of relief at
forded by the favorable climatic con-
ditions Of Southern California.
No hindrance to the coming Of this
class of invalids ever has been inter-
posed. Notwithstanding the well known
danger risl1ed by their presence. The
heart of Los Angeles is too big to play
the Levite of Scripture toward any
suffering mortal. no matter what his
ailment nor whence he comes.
But Los Angeles cannot afford, either
financially or with regard to the danger
involved to provide an ideal resort for
and then herald abroad an
invitation to all such sufferers. The mat
ter Of cost would not be the most i'm
portant consideration in regard to such
q proposition. The first thing to con-
slider is the increased danger to our
own people from Infection, and the sec
ond is the effect on this city's world
wide fame as an attraction for tourists.
Let it be known abroad that Los An
geles has adopted DIR. Knopf's plan for
great camp of consumptives and the
tourists will shy at this city as they
would shy at rattlesnake. Instead of
being known abroad for such attrac-
tions as now make it famous, Los An
geles would come to be known chiefly
as universal resort for consumptives.
The camp idea for the treatment of
is recognized as the best,
but such camp should be situated
where there is no contiguous population.
The project for establishing such a
camp in Los Angeles should not be
considered for moment.

BUNCH VOTING BY MACHINE

Observers Of the beautiful mechan-
ism Of the local machine have called
to mind, no doubt, the reductio ad alb
surdum Of painting the lily" It Is
impossible to improve perfect work
How could there be an improvement on
a machine that makes a chronometer
seem erratic by comparison and that
challenges the running gear of the uni
verse?
II IA startling. therefore, to read in
The Herald that the managers OF tho
Republican machine seriously contem-
plated an attempt to paint the lily
by change in one feature of the ma
chimes operation. II Is explained that
the purpose OF this attempt is "expe-
ditlon In the transaction OF business
by the county convention" for which
work the machine will be in operation
tomorrow at Venice.
AS described in Thursdays Herald,
the proposed Improvement in what has
been considered the perfect working Of
the machine will be an adaptation Of
the Australian ballot system in voting
for candidates for the various county
nominations. It appears that "ar-
rangements have been made with one
of the local printing houses to set UP a
printing plant in Venice especially
equipped to run off the tickets as soon
as they are ordered"
This innovation, as declared by the
machine managers. will be a great con-
venience to delegates AS an example
of the convenience" It is said that "in-
stead of voting for the candidate for
each oflce separately the delegates will
cast their ballots for the entire bunch
at once"
It is purely a keen solicitude for dele
gates, of course, that will thus enable
delegates to Job lot their votes. so to
speak, instead of voting for each can
didate singly in the old-fashioned way.
1t looks as If such plan might also
suit the convenience of the machine
manipulators, but they are too self
sacrificing. of course, to consider their
personality for a moment.
The bunch system of delegate voting
will be as handy as taking at one gulp
number of medicines mixed together.
The plan undoubtedly will save time.
and it looks promising for keeping
votes so well punched" that there
need be no managerial fear that any
will get away.
