! VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE

Patriotism and wisdom were mani
tested in an eminent degree yester'
day afternoon. when the Los Angeles
county Democratic convention, by ar
overwhelming majority, Endorsed the
non-partisan ticket and recommended
it to the favorable consideration OF
every Democratic voter.
This act insures to the free people
of this county the opportunity Of theii
lives to sweep the railroad machine
to destruction. 1t makes the Issue
squarely between the machine and the
taxpayers. without any side issues to
distract their attention or votes. II
enables honest Republicans, Democrats
and men of all parties to meet the
common enemy and whip him from
the field.
The Democratic party has made the
sacrifice which It was it's duty to
make. 1t has suspended its right to
nominate straight ticket and has
consented to join with the voters gem
orally in a consolidated effort to re-
tire the Southern Pacific railroad from
the politics of Los Angeles county and
to re-establish the citizens in the con-
duct of their own county government.
For this the Democratic party of Los
Angeles county is entitled to the thanks
and congratulations of every honest
man.
And the non-partisan ticket will be
elected.
1t is a free Republican ticket, free
Democratic ticket, free popu-
lar ticket. 1t wears no collar.
1t was not dictated by any machine,
corporation or set of men with axes
to grind. 1t is a clean, wholesome,
honest ticket, of which no man need
be ashamed. 1t is a ticket that can
meet the gaze of taxpayers and stand
forth in the sunlight ticket that
represents all that the citizens of
Los Angeles are contending for in their
great struggle against corporate power
and political corruption.
OF course it will be elected. The
railroad machine is making it's last
stand in Los Angeles and in South
ern California 1t will make des-
perate battle, for if it loses, this time
it will have lost everything for years
to come; while if it should win again
which it will not if the people are
sleepless and fearless in the fight
it will be so firmly entrenched in power
that nothing short of a revolution may
dislodge it.
The people are now aroused, active
and wide-awake. They have an hon
est ticket presented for their support,
and there is no question but what
they will exercise their power of SOW
ereignty and select their own repre-
sentatives to conduct the affairs of
the county.
So far as the Democratic party of Los
Angeles county is concerned, it has the
of knowing that it has
done it's duty fearlessly and well. by
the principle of non-parti-
sanship in local affairs and by an
Endorsement of the non-
partisan nominees.
The Herald, along with its fellow
Democrats and friendly Republicans,
stands pledged to the support of the
ticket, and it rightfully
that on the morning after
the coming November election it will
write across its front page, in large red
letters the happy message
A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

A good time to observe the Indian

roundup. There is more roping done
at the calf roundup, however, and for
this reason the spring is the best time
to observe the cowboys at work.
Usually the roundups are held in May,

The Roundup and the Branding.
But now the riders are returning,
with the cattle believing and the calves
;baWling. The herd is brought within
a short distance Of the camp, where it
is held by few of the cowboys de-
tailed for sentry duty and to see that
no steer Or cow breaks from the bunch
and escapes, and then a fire is started
and the work of branding begins.
Chicken has looked over his branding
irons and there is sinister clink of
metal as he handles them. There is a
goodly supply, as the Crows are rich
in cattle, and there are many brands
to be put on.

off to do the roping, and soon one has
ridden into the bunch OF cattle and re-

and silk hats, followed the carriages,
and then / found my 'rikisha drawn
into an open space between two car
riages. . ....r..-... 49,
Grabbing the 'rikisha man in front
of me, I told him by word and gesture
to get out of the line of the procession.
He could not understand English, and
evidently thinking that / wanted to
get nearer the front, he ran past few
carriages and then dropped into another
opening.
Again I got him out Of the line, en-
ploying more emphasis than before,
only to be carried still nearer to the
front. After repeated changes of posi-
tion, all the time employing such sign
language as / could command and at
of voice suggestions that I could not
translate into language, lat last

And the 'rikisha men, as if satisfied
with the success Of their efforts, paused
to await the starting Of the line.
l tried to inform them that I was not
part of the procession; that I wanted
to get on another street; that they
should take me to the park by some 9th
er route and do SO at once. They at last
comprehended sufficiently to leave the
| carriages and take up rapid gait, but
get off of the street they would not.
For three miles they, drew me between
two rows Of expectant people, whose
eyes peered down the street to catch
glimpse Of the great admiral, who, as
the commander. Of the Japanese navy,
has won such signal victories over the
Russians.

and students from the girls schools

that each one of them, old enough to

dainty cups and taken without sugar
or cream. The tea-drinking habit is
universal here, the kettle of hot water
sitting on the Goals in the brazier most
of the time. At each railroad station
the boys sing out, t'Cha! >Cha!" (the
Japanese word for tea) and for less
than two cents in our money they will
furnish the traveller with an earthen
pot of hot tea, with pot and cup thrown
in.
The use of tea at social gatherings
dates back at least 600 years, when
tea ceremonial was instituted by
Buddhist priest to soften the manners
of the warriors. It partook of a relig-
ious character at first, but soon became
a social form, and different schools of
tea drinkers Wed with each other in
suggesting rules and methods of p. y.
cedure. About 800 years ago Hideyosh1,
one Of the greatest Of the military rul-
ers Of Japan, gave what is described as
the largest tea party on record, the
! invitations being in the form Of an i'm
perial edict. All lovers Of tea were
summoned to assemble at given date
in pine grove near Kioto, and they
seem to have done so. The tea party
lasted ten days and the emperor drank
at every booth.
The Tea Ceremony.
According to Chamberlain, tea drink
ing had reached the luxurious stage be-
fore the middle of the fourteenth cen
tury. The lords took part in the daily
gatherings, reclining on tiger skins, the
walls of the guest chamber being rich,
lv ornamented. One of the popular
games of that day was the offering OF
number of varieties of tea, the guests
being required to guess where each va
riety was produced, the best guess win
ming handsome prize.
The tea ceremony answered at least
one useful purpose-it furnished an in
, nocent way Of killing time, and the
, lords of that day seem to have had ar
abundance Of time on their hands. The
daughters of the upper classes were
trained to perform the ceremony ano
displayed much skill therein. Even tt
this day it is regarded as one OF the
accomplishments, and young ladies per
feet themselves in it much as oul
daughters learn music and singing.
At Kogoshima, Governor Chikanl, one
Of the most scholarly men whom I have
met here, had his daughter perform fol
my instruction a part Of the ceremony
time not permitting more. With charm
ing grace she prepared, poured, and
, served this Japanese nectar, each mo
ton being according to the rules OF the

among tea drinkers. ~. ....-e

The theater is an ancient institution
here. altho until recently the actors
were considered beneath even the mer

building is very plain as compared with

pounce upon it. Soon the hiss of the
hot iron on flesh is heard. An odor
OF burnt hair and flesh fills the air,
and the calf lets out two or three bawls
in new pitch. Thenthe rope is shaken
loose and the rider is away after an
other victim.
In the meantime Mail Bearer has
come up with another calf, and the
work OF the roundup is ON in earnest.
The tireless ropers keep their long,
sinuous weapons whirling, and there is
q constant procession Of calves being
dragged to the branding fire. The
wrestlers throw off their superfuous
clothing, for, theirs is hot work, even in
the crisp Montana air. Occasionally a
cow is branded so family that there
is some doubt as to the brand to be
put on the calf. This leads to dis
cussion, and gives a few minutes rest
to all concerned.
The Crows are very fair with each
other, tho from time immemorial they
have stolen other tribes blind. Such
a thing as a Crow stealing from another
Crow, or from white man, is very
rare occurrence. The subagent, J. v.
Van Hoose, who has dwelt long among
the Crows, is on hand to umpire the
disputes as to brands, and so the halts
are not lorg. The unbranded calves
in the herd steadily dwindle, and there
are few left when comes the welcome
