Peas will put humus in the land,
which is the very kind of food the
corn roots delight to subsist upon.
Do not have a vacant acre on the
farm when peas will do such excel
lent work in preparing the soil with
nitrogen for other crops to follow.
A crop of peas sown early and eaten
down by hogs or vines moved for
hay, will be worth ten dollars for
the corn crop planted about the
25th of June.
Farmers do not grow enough crops
on their lands. Three crops can
be put on sumo land in Tennessee
in one season. peas, corn and, be-
fore corn is matured, burr clover,
crimson clover CT hairy vetch can
b. sown to be gatherd the following
spring. Farmers wake up your
sleepy lands and put them to work,
and keep them on the trot in winter
as we'll as sumner. The best season
for killing al kinds of sprouts is
early in the srring and in August.

At present carriers are allowed
to handle merchandise that is not
mailsble-that is, they can get a

route, because the law forbids the
sending of liquids through the
mail, but they cannot buy a sheet

WHEN NOT TO KICK
Don't kick

Don't KICK
When you get bad shave or hair
cut. Neither lasts long.
When you have a bad meal set be-
fore you. You may get over 1t before
the next meal, even if you eat 1t, and
you don't have to eat it.
When you find you're going to die
poor. They haven't begun making
pockets in shrouds yet.
When your health goes back on you.
Life isn't very long, anyway, and a
healthy man dies just as dead as a
sick one.
When you discover a mean streak in
your neighbor. He has to stay with
that mean streak day and night, and
you don't.
When you can't pay all your debts
at once. Your creditors would a great
deal rather get the money in driblets
than not at all.
When your wife isn't in a good
humor. She is partially balancing the
books against some of your numerous
dsagreeable spells that you never
make note Of.
When you are caught by swindler.
1t is merely proof that you needed
some information and wisdom that he
was willing and able to sell you at
his own price.
When you find you can't have every
thing your own way. If you were to
get all you think you want you'd find
you wanted just that much more.
When the other fellow gets the best
of the trade. Just think how good the
other fellow must feel, and be SYM
pathetically happy.-Chicago News.

rYPEwRIrERs AS pIANIsTs

The time will soon arrive in which
expert typewriters will be able to play
the piano almost as well as they do
their machines. A musical genius in
New York has invented a new keyboard
for the piano which corresponds to the
keyboard of typewriter and it will
be as easy to make music when this
patented machine is put on the market
as it is to make correspondence at
present. The usefulness of such an
apparatus suggested itself to the in
ventor, who realized how many ready
made piano players there were now in
existence IL only a keyboard which
would enable them to utilize their dig
ital skill were put on the market. So
he set to work to dope out the new in
vention, which has turned out to be
an entire success and will increase the
already large army of piano players
who have conquered the task without
the work of preparation that used to
be thought necessary.-New York Sun.

a washington banquet, as "the next
governor Of California That is the
first acknowledgment during the cam
paisn by Republican speaker or
newspaper that Mr.. Gillett made his
debut as candidate by the grace Of
the supreme Southern Pacific boss.
Perhaps the most violent jar to the
nerves Of the machine managers in the
course Of Mr.. Cages speech was a ref
erence to the Santa Cruz convention.
Mr.. Gage frankly admitted that there
were wire pulling and trading Of
delegations by the managers Of the
convention, but with the tact of the
keen criminal lawyer that he is, he ex-
cused such doinEs on the ground that
they are common at Republican ma
tional conventions
THE ADMISSION THAT "a FEW
LEADERS. CALLED BOSSES BY
SOME, HAD DECIDED UPON GIL
LETT AS THE LOGICAL CANDI-
DATE" must have struck the polit-
ico-railway combine with explosive
force.
That admission justiles all that The
Herald and other Democratic news
papers have said from the beginning
of the campaign about the manifest
selection of Gillett as the choice of the
combine before the rank and file Of the
Republican party had any intimation
of the choice.

GOV. CAGES "RoUSlNG RALLY

That "rousing Republican rally" on
Tuesday night was a ''rouser' in sew
eral respects, but not particularly in
the point of numbers or enthusiasm.
1t was a "rouser" pre- eminently in
the facts proclaimed by former Gov
ernor Gage. chairman of the meeting.
The ex-governor, in fact, was the chief
speaker, the gubernatorial aspirant ap-
pearing as a secondary attraction.
Mr.. Cages speech was replete with
fire. Mr. Gllletts was notable for it's
lack of vigor. The former speaker
"hewed to the line" rega ardless of where
the chips might fall, while the latter
sdestepped and evaded the live issues
in the California campaign.
But some of those facts disclosed by
Governor Gage must have been as bit
ter as gall to Candidate Gillett and the
managers of the politico-railway ma
chine. To honest Republicans the facts
probably were instructive and edfying.
To such Democrats as curiosity induced
to be present. the disclosures were
amusing.
Franklin X Lane received a plu-
rality of votes for governor of califor-
MIA in 1902. That was one Of the decla-
rations which Jared the Trousing Re

chine leaders to squirrn in their seats.
Pardee secured the governorship ON a
techncality involving the loss Of many
Democratic votes in the count. Lane
was really elected therefore, and was
counted out, legally as claimed.
Another violent jolt in the former
governors speech was caused by the
candid admission that Mr.. Gillett was

COST TO BUILD SAN FRANCISCO

Major General Adolphus w. Greedy,
who. by reason of his prolonged per-
sonal observations on the scene of the
catastrophe, must be held to constitute
the highest authority, is said to have
expressed the conviction that San
Francisco will be entirely rebuilt and
will completely recover its former
commerce and prosperity. How many
years will be needed for the recon-
structive process he does not pretend
to say, because the labor conditions
that may prevail hereafter can
not be predicted. AS it is, those con-
ditions can hardly be termed encour-
aging, If it be true that exorbitant
wages act as a deterrent to the in
vestment of capital.
1t seems that before April IS there
were 10000 trade union workmen en-
ployed in the city. During the last
four months, however, thousands of
workmen have naturally been at
tracted thither and, according to the
estimate of the secretary of the Build
ing Trades councils. there are now
more than 10000 engaged in the re-
building. Ordinarily the labor put
into an edihce costs about 33 per cent
of the total construction charges. In
San Francisco all this time, however,
the average of wages for men of all
crafts, including the unskilled toiler,
is at least thirty per cent higher than
the rates which prevailed before the
earthquake. In other words, workmen
will receive about 43 per cent of the
total cost of reconstruction, or, say,
about $175, 100000, without reckoning
the cost of clearing the debris from
the burned district. AS this prelimin-
ary expenditure will amount to some
2OOOO,0O0, of which laborers, derrick
men and teamsters will get more than
three-fourths, the aggregate of the
share of the cost of reconstruction ac-
cruing to labor, will exceed $3.50, ,000, 900.
At present the thirty-odd thousand
workmen employed upon the task re-
ceive in wages $685. 900 a day, or almost
$65O,OO0 a week, even when they do
not work overtime and on Sundays

HAVE A FAMOUS PRECEDENT
Right Of Delegate Not to Abide by
the Results Of an Unfair
Convention

PASADENA, Cal, Oct. 17-tEditor
Herald: Assaults have been made on
Charles w. Bell, non-partisan candidate
for senator, against r.. w. Hahn, the
Republican nominee, because he was a
delegate in the Venice convention. ~
Ia not maintained that he participated
I'm the senatorial convention, for he did
not. He had become too dsgusted with
the cut and dried proceedings of the
main show to take part in any of the
side shows.
Criticism Is also made of DR.. Lamb,
who was a tentative candidate for
nomination for supervisor In the Third
district but seeing what Bell saw he
did not consider himself bound by the
action OF the convention.
The question arises as TO what extent
one is bound by the result of taking
part in q convention as delegate or at
the primaries or as a member of a
party 1t cannot be presumed that he
is under pledges or honorable obliga-
tion to support the action Of the con-
vention, whatever It may be.
This very question arose In the ma
tional Republican convention at Chi
cago In, 1880, of which I was member.
Mr.. Conkling introduced a resolution
to the effect that pledge should be
exacted of each delegate that he would
support the nOIIllttS lHt
should choose and any one refusing to
make such pledge should be denied the
right to vote on nominations.
Gen. Garfield opposed the resolution
and said that as general rule dele
gates participating in making nomina-
tions were in honor bound to abide by
the result, but that the resolution of
Mr. ConlSling was so sweeping as to
commit a man to do what in good
conscience he should not do; that 1t was
enough to rely on the general rule of
honor and leave to each one the de-
cision of what it was his duty to do;
that 1t was not presumable the conven-
ton would make any nomination that
o Republican could not support but to
make rule for the party that whatever
might be done should be binding was
not Republican, and would not leave
men free or obey the commands of
Judgment and conscience.
The convention sustained Garfield by
an almost unanimous vote.

OUR UNWELCoMH GUESTS

1t is not pleasing to contemplate the
expected rush to Los Angeles of one
class of winter tourists. The meaning
of that statement Is strikingly ex-
plained in a report from a point in
New Mexico where gang of about
one hundred vagrants are terrorizing
the town, committing robberies and
other crimes in defiance of all author
ity. The application Of that news to
this city is found in the declaration
of the vagrants that they are merely
calling at the New Mexico town while
on their way to Los Angeles.
1t is a serious situation that con-
ing of criminals and vagabonds during
the fall and winter season. All re-
ports available on the subject agree
that the inpour Of these undesirable
classes will be unparalleled in the i'm
mediate future. This prospect is ac-
counted for by the acquaintance of such
classes with the great prosperity of
Los Angeles and the likelihood that
the volume of reputable tourist travel
to this city will break all records for
the season now about to open.
Another element in this dreaded in
vasion, and one already in evidence, is
| the coming of large numbers of the
criminal classes from San Francisco.
| That city has been sort of criminal
| paradise since the reopening of the sa-
| looms, but the incipent talk about a
1 resort to olden time methods of rid
| rection of Los Angeles. 1t is known to
the local police that many San Fran
cisco Crooks have come to this city
recently, but such arrivals are though
to be only the advance contingent OF
a horde intending to come later.
| In face of this situation the local
chief of police admits his inability to
cope with such invasion effectively. He
| says, sadly, 1--WE have not half the
men we need" The chief of the de-
| tective force comedies with that view
declaring that "If we had 200 patrol
as it is, we will have to do the best we
can" And as evidence that the danger
is present one, he says, I'VE are
already beginning to feel the effect OF
the efforts in the north to drive out
| the criminals"
The police force of this city is ridic-
ulously out of proportion, numeri-
cally to the requirement for public pro-
lection. Although Los Angeles is a
magnet that attracts exceptionally
large numbers of crooks and criminals
its police force is relatively smaller
than that of any other leading city in
the United States.
AS the chief and the captain of de-
tectives declare their ability to defy
the criminals" if an adequate force be
given them, they should be taken at
their word without delay.
A force of 200 patrolmen is a very
moderate allowance for a city of more
than quarter million population. The
! cost of an increase to the required fig
ure would be trivial compared with the
confessed inability of the force to cope
effectively with the present criminal
classes and the prospective invasion.
