PARDEE MOOS BY PROXY

Governor Pardee has an explainable
dislike to visiting Los Angeles in per-
son. Campaign exigencies require that
he be directly represented here at this
time however, and so he has made
close approach to a personal appear
ance. He has sent his private secre-
tary to Los Angeles to feel the political
pulse. The secretarys name is Nye,
but there is no cause to suspect that
he is the same person of the name who
is known to fame as a casual acquaint-
ance of "Ah Sin"
But Mr.. Nye reveals the humorous
trait that is called to mind at the men
tion of his name. He tells the voters
of Los Angeles-not as an evidence of
good faith but for wide Publication
that on personal grounds the governor
would prefer retirement to the joys of
private life. Being a self-sacrificing
person, however, the governor could not
bring his mind to allowing California to
be wrecked on the rocks because of has
refusal to continue at the helm.
Mr. Nye strikes his richest vein of
humor in this statement: "As is
known. Governor Pardee did not def
ntely announce himself a cs .didate for
reelection until close upon the state
campaign opening, and until there had
been many inquiries regarding his in
tentions." The governor waited, ac-
cording to his voracious secretary, until
there was something in the nature of
a popular call for him to be a candi-
date again"
Mr. Nye is correct IL the public ex-
preston, enough of Pardee," can be
construed as something in the nature
of public cali" AS a matter of fact
there has been very distinct and en-
phatic popular CALI for Governor Par
dee to retire to the rear and subsde
Every Californian who is capable of
reading, and has the opportunity to
read current events, knows that George
C. Pardee was a second term aspirant
the moment he found that he had
squeezed into the executive ONCE by a
hairs breath. From the moment his
anatomy touched the gubernatorlal
chair he has shaped every oftiea act,
susceptible of shaping, with an eye to
a reelection.
California is not squeamish. but it's
stomach will rebel If it be forced TO
swallow another Pardee gubernatorial
term OF four years

WOMEN AS INVENTORS

In reply to the charge that women
are lacking in mechanical ingenuity it
is asserted that many of the most
valuable inventions patented by men
in reality represents ideas conceived in
the brains of their wives, their sisters
and their daughters. Eli Whitney's
famous cotton gin is said to have been
merely the application of device first
thought out by a woman-the widow OF
General Nathaniel Greene
The "Coston light" which is used by
our life saving service, and by mariners
all other the world, for signaling at
night-it burns like red fire-is a wo-
mans invention. So, likewise, is the
paper bag with satchel bottom, which
was the idea fo Miss M. E. knight
The machine by which comb founda-
tion," as it is called for beehives. is
made, was patented by Frances A.
Dunham in 1881. 1t saves bees half the
labor of honeycomb construction bv
turning out wax sheets, which, suspend
ed In the hives, serves as a basis to
build the combs on. But the most Won
derful point about the contrivance is
that the cells outlined in relief on the
wax being all OF worker size, those
of them that are utilized by the insects
for nursery purposes will produce only
worker bees. thus avoiding the propo-
cation of idle drones.-Technical World.

MY FIRST VIEW OF THE SEA

Written for The Herald.
/ rode upon the beach
OF that wonderful, wonderful sea.
And heard the low, sad sound
Oh, sound so new to mel
OF the waves that broke at my feet
On the shore of that beautiful sea.
The breezes that famed my cheek
On the shore of that wonderful sea:
The breezes so salt and sweet
oh, breezes so new TO mel
SO fragrant and salt and sweet,
From over that beautiful sea.
/ watched the many ships
That sailed on that wonderful sea.
With white and swelling sails
White sails so new to me-
With their news from other lands
Far over that beautiful sea.
/ thought of the infinite throng
Sailing over life's wonderful sea,
With their sounding deeds and songs,
Like echoes from God to me.
May my life leave an echo sweet
On the shore of times wonderful sea.

QUEER LABOR ADJUNCT


A deputy IN the service Of the state
labor commission has been in Los An.
seles several days. He is from sar
Francisco, and his business here Is "tc
gather statistics" for the use Of the
commission, as declared by himself
But he has enlarged the field of his
usefulness. II seems, by a voluntary in
vestigation OF matters entirely foreign
TO the service for which he draws his
salary. II this irrelevant labor results
from lack Of sufflcient business to war
rant the salary he gets, the nature of
It suggests the query, why did he not
give his own city the benefit of his
gratuitous effort?
This labor commission attache has
taken upon himself the avocation of ex-
amlning the Los Angeles restaurants.
He says frankly that this work is not
in the direct line of his duties" hence
II must have been inspired by tender
solicitude for customers of our restau-
rants. He claims to have found alarm
ing conditions in some of these feeding
places, and 1t Is said he has reported
one case to the city prosecuting attor-
ney"
II there is any city on earth where
ideal restaurants OF all grades are in
evidence, the officious San Franciscan
has failed to point It out. Los Angeles
has all sorts Of restaurants, good, bad
and indifferent, just like other large
cities. These local establishments COM
pare favorably with those of other
cities in respect to cleanliness, SANTA
tion and all other features pertaining
to the feeding of large numbers of peo
pie. Certainly they do not suffer in
with the restaurants of San
Francisco prior to the calamity.
After having finished his shifting tour
through the kitchens of some restau
rants the employe of the labor commits
sion concluded ito turn it over to the de-
partment of the public service to which
it belongs, the board of health" Gall
of public stipendaries
whose habitat is San Francisco.
The Herald takes notice of this Off
cious deputy labor commissioner merely
to say that so far as concerns any coll
sidera BILE number of Los Angeles res
taurants, his criticisms are quite 'un-
fair. The board of health is con-
stantly on the alert concerning such
establishments, as an important line

Los Angeles, generally speaking, are in
Ill respects as credita BILE as similar con-
,errs in any other large American city.

UP TO STREET RAILWAYS

An official COMMITTEES from the city
council win now. by virtue and author
ity Of their offices. call the attention Of
the street railway managers to the
fact that Los Angeles must have a
late-night or owl car system, such as
is afforded every other city Of approx
innate size in the country. This com
mittee is appointed to confer, not to
compel; It is appointed to request. not
TO demands and IL the managers afore-
said will appreciate the situation and
understand that they can hardly afford
to ignore the conference or to refuse
the request they will make friends Of
the people.
The street railway lines have been
granted highly valuable franchises at
merely nominal figures. The people
have been generous and enterprising
enough to meet the railway companies
more than half way, knowing how rap
idly great street railway system can
build up and develop city. The op-
portunty is now presented the com
panies to popularize their roads by a
prompt acquiescence in a demand that
seems to be reasonable and is certainly
universal
The street railway companies may
stop to argue against an owl car sys-
tenn on the ground that it will not pay.
The companies may even present tech
nical reasons to show that the prop
osition may for a time be losing one.
Persons on the outside of railway
management may not be able to answer
these arguments from a technical
standpoint, but men of intelligence
point to the fact that every other city
approximately the size of Los Ange-
les has an owl car system. How the
companies in these other cities COM
ply with the public requirement and
still make money is a question that
our local managers either know already
or can easily find out.
The question does not admit of a
reasonable ground for refusal. What
ever is done in other cities can be |
done in Los Angeles. And Los An
geles-which includes of course, our
splendid street railways-cannot af-
ford to do without those necessitious
adjuncts of a great city, the things that
conspicuously mark the difference be-
tween metropolis and a country
town.
The widespread character of the de-
mand for owl cars. shown by inter-
views with all kinds and classes Of
citizens, as printed in The Herald
during the past six months, is proof
that the people have use for the owl
cars and that the patronage of such
a system would be large and continu-
Gus. And these people are not asking
anything that would be ruinous to the
roads. The future of Los Angeles is
inseparable from the success of our
street railway systems, and hence there
is no disposition to ask anything that
is not fair, reasonable and equitable
The point simply is that other cities {
have owl car systems, and Los An
geles cannot call itself a great city
until such a system is inaugurated
here. The people demand it and the
railroads owe the people that small
It's up to the street rail-
way companies {
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-01

Don't let the street railway COM
panies mistake the temper of the peo-
pie on the question of owl cars. Be-
cause nobody has thrown anything but
tufts of grass is no sign of a scarcity
of stones. The people are not fools and
they are not going to be pooh poohed
with such ghost stories as Wed rather
hire and pay for cabs for the few owls
who want to be carried home after mid
night" as an unidentified railway Off
cial is quoted as saying last year. This
is no time to get funny.

Los Angeles is again in the record
breaking business. The figures show
that during July there were 76S build
ing permits granted for improvements
to cost S1,7S3,62S. During July, 1905,
there were 697 permits. valued at
$1,304.10s This is more proof that the
prosperity of this city continues and
increases with each passing day. This
July also appears as a record breaker
in the banking business. as clearances
aggregate $44632, 962.7S. as against
$42, 763, ,5S3.41 during July of last year.
Since the great disaster at San Fran
cisco the development of Los Angeles
seems to have received some additional
impetus. That woeful incident GER
tainly has in no sense retarded this
city'S continuous growth.
