AN AMERICAN GIRL

The president has notified all the en-
bassies of the United States to advise
foreign governments not to make any
official gifts to his daughter Alice. He
could not, without offense, direct that
no gifts be forwarded, but he says they
must not be of governmental char
acter.
Miss Alice is not a princess. Her
father, being president by the suffrages
of the people, is only an American gen.
tleman, temporarily honored with pub
lie confidence and the highest office in
the nations gift. Members of his
household, therefore, are just like the
rest of us, except they stand in the re-
fiected light of Mr.. Roosevelt's honors.
Miss Alice IS an American girl-typi-
cal in that she is healthful, vigorous,
athletic and somewhat contemptuous of
some OF the conventionalities. The
courtship of Nicholas Longworth has
been romantic and pleasing, and it's
success meets with popular approba-
ton.
Every sound, healthful and respect
able man, woman and child in the
United States feels a personal interest
in the wedding of Miss Roosevelt and
Mr.. Longworth. 1t is manifestly a love
affair, with no side trimmings of mar
riage settlements, no ducal coronets
and no frivolity. Mr.. Longworth has
demonstrated his manliness and ability
by his success in various fields of in
dustry and his services in congress. 1t
is an accepted fact that he is worthy
of the presidents daughter.
Therefore, long life to the happy
couple.

OUR CHINA TROUBLES

Are we to have war with China? Few
believe it. 1t seems an impossibility.
Yet stranger things have happened and
there is no doubt that preparations for
such an event are pending
OF course, war with China could
eventuate in only one thing-victory
for America. True, Russia made the
same boast as regards Japan. But the
cases are not the same. Russia was
rotten internally; its army was a scan
dalous graft, mere shell; it's navy
was a collection of rusty old hulks,
badly manned and worse Differed 1t
was fighting nation newly awakened,
virile. full of desire for war, and COM
pletely armed, equipped and ready.
Russia had preponderance of men and
money; Japan offset them by reckless,
fatalistic bravery, skill, celebrity of ac-
ton and training. That victory fol-
lowed the sun-fiag was no surprise.
The United States is everything that
Japan is, so far as military experiences
is concerned, and more. Our army is
highly skilled and backed by a trained
national guard Of millions. Our navy
is keyed up to the last notch and can
outshoot any on the seven seas. China's
army is not to be sneezed at. we are
told, and she has navy worth while,
But that China. as such. could be a
fair foe in a war with us is prepos-
ferrous.
The trouble would come i'm keeping
Japan neutral The little brown man
Is still flushed with his victory. in
which, as once before, he believes he
was robbed of his browning glory by
white dictates. An oriental war on his

1t was a pretty conceit that made the
students of the senior A class of high
school choose "Sweet Lavender" as
their class play and It was a clever
performance they gave OF It at the
Burbank theater yesterday afternoon.
Senior A colors are lavender and
when It came to the choosing Of play
It was decided that there could be
none better to carry out the idea OF
Lavender everywhere" than this play
To those who saw it yesterday 1t
might have even been suspected that
the chief thought in choosing the play
was of Miss Ruth PitlSin, for she made
Sweet Lavender" worthy the name.
The story which the high school stu
dents told is of a rich young man and
poor young girl who love each other
A bank fails very aceommodatingly
and the rich young man becomes poor
The girl comes back to him in his hour
of trouble and then by another happy
change of fortunes wheel he finds him
self not so poor as he thought.
Carol Stilson is the young lover and
he fills the part we'll The role of Ruth
Rolt, Sweet LaVender's mother, is es-
sayed by Hazel Dell. The other parts,

would be creditable to actors more eX-

MOTHERS STOP KISSING
Chase Young Teacher of Lax Disci'
pline Out With Broom and
School Is Over
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BRIDGETON, N j., Feb. 9.-The
Smack in School" made famous by
readers and reciters for generations
caused an upheaval in the Back Neck
public school, near this city, and the
young schoolmaster Smith Westcott
was chased out of the building by
irate mothers with brooms. The board
of education of the township is making
an investigation, while the school is
closed
According to the stories told parents
by some of the pupils the school was
under very lax discipline for some
time and often turned into uproar by
the doings of some of the boys. The
staid farming community learned
through some of the girls that hug
gng and kissing We're every day fea-
lures of life within the walls of the
little building and there was wide
spread Indignation.
The latest story and the one which
brought the exciting crisis, was that
a boy had been overhauled by the
teacher for throwing spitballs, which
hit girls in the eyes. The teacher
caught the boy made him roll a lot
of the balls and then stood him in a
corner and threw them at him until he
was a sight to behold.
Three women of the near neighbor-
hood armed themselves with brooms,
chased the teacher from the school,
stood as pickets outside and forbade
the children from entering. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of
the board, which began the inVestiga-

NO LACK OF LEADERS

The Sacramento Union, now an
avowed champion of the ambitions Of
Gov. Pardee, admits to its columns a
letter Of correspondence from San
Francisco. i'm which occurs, under the
sub-heading Democrats Can Win
with Good Leader" the following
sentence: The Democrats can beat
Hayes or any other man mentioned on
the Republican side II they can only
find a leader"
WELL that's easy. The Union itself
admits that the Democrats have "in
either District Attorney Seymour or
Theodore Bell a possible gubernatorial
candidate OF great popular strength"
The question is answered at once, with
out pauslng to consider half dozen
other names that could be suggested
with equal Judgment
The Herald was the first new spaper
in California to suggest District Attor-
ney Seymour as a strong man to nomi-
nate for governor. He has been con-
spicuous in the prosecution of the SEN
atorlal boodlers he has been courage
Gus and successful in the discharge of
public duties when confronted with OPP
posing power and personal influences;
he has fought good fight for clean
government at the state capital and
has made himself famous as an enemy
of all grafters. Seymour as the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor would
sweep the state. He would attract the
votes of Republicans who will rebel
against the further domination of Ruef,
Schmitz, Herrin, Parker and the ma
chine. He would receive the support
of all men who desire to see the state
government of California i'm strong,
safe hands. There is no question about
what Seymour would do in office, and
his name at the head of the Democratic
ticket would constitute rallying point
not only for Democrats but for all those
who hope to see the people of Califor-
mia restored to their political freedom.
Theodore Bell is one of the most pop
ular men in Northern California. Three
years ago he was elected to congress
from his district, in face of an appar-
emily overwhelming Republican ma
jority to overcome. He served his
term with distinction, was unanimously
renominated and would have been re-
elected but for the Roosevelt tidal wave
that carried with it all the Republican
nominees. Even then Mr.. Bell ran far
ahead of his ticket. An eloquent
speaker. a forceful campaigner and a
fearless statesman, Theodore Bells
name at the head of the Democratic
state ticket would inspire confidence
and achieve success.
There will be no lack Of leadership.
Even if we go no farther than the two
names suggested and approved by the
Sacramento Union, the Democracy of
California has the opportunity of it's
life. Harmony, fidelity to principle, the
selection of a strong ticket and an ag-
gressive campaign will give the state of
California over to Democratic keeping
in this good year of 1906

CANNOT SUE FOR LIBEL
Where Woman Is Placed at Disad-
vantage, According to
Law
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. "a woman
may not sue her husband for libel.
This decision was made by Justice
Vernon NJ. Davis in sustaining a de-
murrer by John W. Warmwood to the
$4,000 action for libel brought against
him by his wife, Carrie l. Warmwood,
Mr.. Warmwood lives at LowVille, N.
Y, and what his wife held to be libel
lous was an advertisement inserted, it
is alleged, by Warmwood in a news
paper, and which read as follows:
ITO whom it may concern: Whereas,
my wife, Carrie /. Warmwood, who has
lived separate and apart from her fam
lily since July /, 1898, and under the
name of Miss Carrie Wood, thereby
refusing her mothers love and atten-
ton to her family. did. on January 16,
1904, for the sum of $5OO0 sign and re-
lease the said husband from all her
rights and title, such as alimony and
dover rights, l hereby forbid all per-
sons trusting her on my account"
1t was contended by Mrs. Warmwood
that the advertisement was libellous,
as it implied that she had been derelict
in her motherly duties to their only
child, a daughter. She asserted thar
the advertisement was intended to dis
grace her.
Justice Davis in his decision called
attention to the fact that il was long
ago decided that woman may not ae-
cuse her husband of SANDER, and
therefore it necessarily follows that she
cannot sue him for libel.

WIFE MUST SUPPORT HUSBAND
Court orders Mrs. George sohwasb
to Pay Aged Spouse IS Weekly
for Life

Special to Tho Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-1n a lawsuit
ended yesterday between George
Schwaab, "a years old, and Elizabeth,
his wife, thirty years his junior, the
supreme court rendered a decision di-
recting Mrs. Schwaab to contribute to
her husbands support during his life
time. This Is probably the first case
of the kind ON record.
Mr. and Mrs. Schwaab were married
about twenty years ago, and have for
many years lived In that section of
Brooklyn known as the New Lots road
Schwaab purchased lots and built him
self an apartment house out of his own
funds, he declared. Having a dispute
with a tenant who demanded 500 com
pensation for damages, Schwaab went
to a German notary public, who told
him that IL he transferred his property
to his wife the claimant for damages
would be unable TO recover.
Schwaab transferred the real estate
to his wife, but he asserts It was upon
the express condition that she should
return the property to him whenever
he wanted It.
Schwaab says his wife refused to
transfer the real estate TO him when
he demanded it. He then retained
Lawyer August p. WAGNER of az
Chambers street to bring suit in the
supreme court to recover his property
The case was tried before Justice
Marean at special term. Mrs. Schwaab
contended that all the money for the
purchase of the lots and putting up the
apartment house had been contributed
by her, and said that her husband had
10 interest therein.
Justice Marean in rendering the de-
cision called attention to the fact that
Schwaab is very old and feeble, and
should he award him the real estate
it was not improbable that some un-
scrupulous person would come along
and get il away from him.
II will leave it, therefore, said the
justice, with the woman, especially as
Schwaab has no children or heirs of
law, but she must pay him So a week
as long as he lives for his support.
IL she refuses to pay the So week
he is to get a one-half interest in the
property
Judgment to this effect was duly en-
tered in the county clerks office yes
terday.

Early, a policeman of the mounted dis
trict, was accused by William p. Ker-
ner, another policeman, of swearing
at him. Early admitted swearing, but
testified that he was veXed because
he could not adjust pair of leggings

Oscar Mueller at the meeting OF
the Greater Los Angeles commission
last night, called attention to the fact
that reports as to the boundaries that
will be proposed by the commission are
wholly without foundation, as boundar-
les have not yet been considered. II
was also asked by the commission that
outlying cities and towns wait for the
final proposition before expressing any
adverse opinion, as it would be the
effort of the commission to make the
consolidation advantageous to all con-
cerned.
