Prof. e. @. Moore, in charge of the
department Of philosophy and educa-
tion at the state university in Ber-
kelley. was yesterday unanimously
chosen superintendent of the Los An
geles public schools. Prof. Moore
stands so high in his profession that
1t goes without argument that his ad-
vent into this city in an official ca
paeity will be a distinct gain to the
public school system. The board of
education has performed a great
service and will meet with the con-
gratulations Of the public. 1t was
rather a delicate and difficult task to
fill this high position with an accept
able man, but the board has evidently
discharged its duties in a most dlplo-
matte and successful manner. Los An
geles parts from Prof. Boshay with
many regrets, but is glad that he in
tends to remain a citizen here.

tender his resignation to the university
board at Berkeley and move to this

his work.

SERVANTS OF ABE RUFF

Recently Abe Ruef, the Republican
boss of San Francisco and a part OF
the state Republican machine, created
a rump county committee and organ
lied it for his own peculiar purposes.
His first purpose, manifestly, was to
make war upon Franklin K. Lane, for
he caused his rump committee to adopt
resolutions declaring it to be the sense
of the Republicans of San Francisco
that Mr.. Lane should not be confirmed
by the United States senate as an inter
state commerce commissioner because
he is Democrat. These resolutions
were forwarded TO the California dele
cation in congress, senators and repre-
sentatives.
Now it should be understood that
respectable Republican newspapers and
voters are asserting with might and
main that Abe Ruef is not Republic
can; that he has persistently bolted the
party and now has no acknowledged
fealty to any party except the Union
Labor organization Of San Francisco.
Yet Abe Ruef openly creates a county
Republican committee and processes to
speak for that party in sending a pro-
test against Franklin X. Lane to the
Republican senators and representa-
tives from California.
And these senators and representa-
tives, tacitly admitting the power of
Abe Ruef in their party councils, write
humiliating letters acknowledging re-
ceipt of Abe Ruef's orders and pledg-
ing support of his resolutions.
Senator George c. Perkins writes:
81 would state that the Republicans
of the senate are inclined to the view
taken by your committee. You will
note that the nomination by the presi-
dent has not yet been favorably re-
ported"
Senator Frank p. Flint, in his reply,
says: 81 desire to state that I will
have these resolutions presented to the
senate and referred to the committee
on interstate commerce for considera-
ton"
Congressman Z. A. Hayes expresses
himself as follows: "OIr, Lanes nomi-
nation is now held up in the senate,
and I am advised by members who
ought to know that there is no chance
whatever of the confirmation. With
kind regards, sincerely yours"
Congressman Julius Kahn writes: "I
am in receipt of yours Of the 9Th inst
me of the resolutions adopted
by the Republican county committee
Of which you are secretary, and 1 shall
be glad to give the same my earnest
consideration"
Alas for the honor and dignity of
in congress! Her representa-
lives in the sonata and house with the
possible exception of Senator Flint

Concert Hall With Stage Room and
Balcony for Main Floor, Banquet
and Dining Halls and Bachelor
Apartments Upstairs

1t is now expected that plans will be
consummated this week for the erec-
ton of permanent home for Ellery's
band in Los Angeles.
A body of capitalists has the idea
in hand and the proposition contem-
plates a seven-story building at Ninth
and Hill streets.
concert hall, with ample stage room
and a balcony.
On the main floor cafe tables will
be placed, while seats will be reserved
in the balcony.
On the second floor of the building
will be banquet, cafe and dining rooms,
while the upper floors will be strictly
bachelor apartments of the highest
class.
The plan contemplates the retention
of the Ellery band in the concert hall
most of the year, and the installation
of other equally high class attractions
during the bands short tours.
"There is room in Los Angeles for
just such an attractive resort" said
one OF the capitalists interested, yes
terday, land we think now is a good
time to establish it. The plans have
not been fully worked out yet, but
Mr.. Ellery has looked them over with
favor, and the money will be forth
coming at the proper moment if all
goes through as is now expected.
'If not, other plans will be worked
out; we expect to install Ellery's band
as a permanent feature of Los Angeles
life, and if we can't do it in one way,
we will in another"
Ellery will take his band on a tour
this month, probably going down into
Mexico as well as east. The band has
several offers for its return season

FATAL PRIZE FIGHTING

little in the way of moralizing neeC
be done about the Wednesday prizt
fight in San Francisco, whose out
! come yesterday was the death of one ot
the participants. The whole aspect oi
the case is too evident to need muci
| comment. Yet one view of 1t may moi
be taken by many and that is worth
noticing
! This fight was only one of a series
| Such contests are of almost weekly oc-
currence, here as we'll as in San Fran
| cisco. Usually several bouts are ar
ranged for an evening as "prelimi-
naries." and then comes flstic battle
between two bruisers of more or less
notoriety, to which the "preliminaries"
are merely appetizers. The contests are
well advertised, largely attended and
big money-makers.
Ordinarily these matches do not end
fatally: the latter is the decided excep-
tion. Hence no great outcry is raised
against them. But when one of the
contestants does die there is emitted an
uproar about the terrible event which
echoes for days.
That prize fights are essentially brutal
no one may deny. That men-and even
women-enjoy such contests the box Of
flee proves. That they are demoraliz-
ing, disgusting and degenerative in
huences is possibly more strongly ar
gued than is the other side, ordinarily
expressed as "the manly art of self de-
fense." But that is not to the purpose
just now and is not the conclusion
sought to be drawn here.
The point is, that the prize fight that
ends fatally is perhaps less harmful,
ethically speaking, than is the one that
results in no death. The former shocks
and startles the public, leads to talk
and agitation and in some cases to pro-
hibition of similar affrays, 1t arouses
the moral feelings and tends to discus
sion-at least, does not scar the gen
eral conscience as TO the legitimacy of
prize fighting, per Sc. While the nom
fatal contest is merely one incident in
a series, of no special consequence.
Real harm in a ring battle is wrought,
not TO the contestants-they are al
ready brutalized-but to the spectators,
who regard them as heroes and whose
finer sensibilities are dulled by the
sight and smell of gore. Hence, so long
as no one is especially damaged ply
sically in the ring the brutalizing proc
ess can go on insidiously and un-
checked. But when a death ensues
matters are brought to a head in a
sharp check. Then, if ever, can clean
up be had.
Young Tenny, of course, had no moral |
or ethical reasons for giving up his life |
In Il Frisco prize ring. Probably no |
such purpose will be served by his de- |
mise. But he is one more on the long |
list of victims of the "sport" and adds |
that much to the cumulative evidence
which may be used if the public ever
decides that prize fighting is passe.

Prof. Moore represents in a high degree
the power of initiative and that his
connection with the public schools
would mean the contribution of new
ideas and new methods which would
be invaluable. In that respect he be-
longs, believe, in the very highest
class of educators"
What Prof. n. M. Stephens Says
Prof. III. Morse Stephens writes: He
is better acquainted with all grades Of
society than any professed sociologist
that / have met and his studies in
sociology give him a broader view of
the needs of all classes than is pos
sessed by most professional educators.
His work in connection with the
board of charities has further wldened
his experiences and he has been a
Jealous promoter of all causes of civic
righteousness. Here in the state uni
Versity he has made record as most
stimulating teacher in the department
of education, while as dean of the sum-
mer school he has shown himself a

BALLoT BOX THE REMEDY

! Perhaps the people of no other state
are so completely in the hands Of the
railroads, for better or for worse" as
are the people of California. The dis
tance from this state to other markets
| is thousands of miles, and no waters
can be used, as yet, to form a COM
petitive or controlling chain. 1t is for
the railroads to say, by pooling and
other forms of agreement whether they
will give California a chance to live
and grow, or whether they will go on
Charging all that the traffic will bear"
Just now the railroads, in order to
allay the storm of protest and indigna-
tion evoked by the recent decision of
the supreme court of the United States,
have both hands up, palms outward, in
token of friendship, but it is the
Indians high sign, made TO be carried
out if convenient, or to be broken if
inconvenieLt.
Railroads have had much to do with
the development of the west, but the
west has had much more to do with the
development and enriching of the rail-
roads. Unconsciously it was a partner
ship of interests in a gold mine but
latterly the output has mostly gone into
the pockets of the corporations.
The situation was not born of day,
nor of a single decision of the supreme
court. 1t stretches over a period of
years, during which the people have
blindly submitted to railway exactions
and fatuitously voted railway Republi-
can machine politicians into office, until
the roads are now thoroughly in
trenched in power, from the United
States senate down to Sacramento and
Los Angeles. Freight rate demands
are wholly at the option of the rail-
roads. The growers can appeal to the
state railroad commissioners, whose
very names are unknown to them, and
get nothing. They can appeal to the
interstate commerce commission, as
they have done, receiving vigorous and
well-meant cooperation which the SUI |
preme court has overturned. Which, !
ever way they turn they find the great |
railways in command of every avenue |
Of escape. Bound hand and foot they
can ask the railroads to please help
poor blind people who didn't realize
what they were doing, and perchance
the railroads will do the fair thng-if
their digestion happens to be good on
the day the petition is received.
The ballot box is the remedy for all
this, Railroad machine Republicans
