you ask me to prove this assertion? 1
will do so with pleasure. The greatest
Of all American iron masters, the man
who paid the lowest wages, and who
would never agree to any kind Of COM
promise, retired from business after
less than twenty-five years of indepen-
dent control of his business with a
capital Of over four hundred million
dollars, while his chief lieutenant
mot Mr.. Schwab) is now rated to be
worth one hundred million dollars, and
while five or six others of his former
lieutensnts are many times multi-mil-
lionaires. How many other millions
have been paid for the securing of fa-
vorable legislation and government
contracts, we may guess at-know it
we never will. And as to the heads of
the railroad concerns who control the
antrhacite coal mines, we know that
they are enormously wealthy. But the
poor ironmaster who cleared only four
hundred million dollars, and who never
at any time employed more than 1900
men in his combined plants, could not
afford to allow these men an occasional
increase in wages of ten per cent. 1t
does not do his former workmen any
good, that this man now indiscrimi-
nately builds libraries broadcast over
America and Europe, furnishes the

English Bathing Act.

6HE world DO move. This is
proved by an Act recently
passed in Great Britain "to sane
tion mixed bathing in the
Thames, between Lower and West
minister Bridges, from dawn to sunset"
This measure, fathered by Mr.. John
Burns, and designed primarily to give
the inhabitants Of the slums of May
fair and Park Lane an opportunity to
indulge in the natatory art, has at
length passed the House of Lords sue
cessfully. Mr.. Burns will be remem-
bered as the author of the famous bill
to restrict the use of knee-breeches to
those who can either boast natural, or
purchase artificial, calves, which re-
ceiyed the kings veto after passing
both Houses.
The Bathing Act, of which I propose
to give some account, since reform
measures are Of interest to all Anglo
Saxons, was fortunately enabled to
command space of three weeks for
discussion in the House of Commons,
there being nothing more important
pending at the time than the Indian
Budget, the proposal to import negroes
from the United States to work the
mines in South Africa and the butter
ing of the Colonies Bill. Thanks to
the energy Of Mr.. Burns and the
hearty support of Mr.. Laboucher, who
advanced the weighty argument that
members would be enabled by this
measure to divert their friends on the
Terrace by diving contests. the bill
was passed, in spite Of the protests of
the Irish members, who saw in it an
insidious menace, all the more insid-
ious because concealed. to the principle
of Home Rule.
In the Lords, its path was less diff
cult. The members of that noble body
were the first to observe the advantages
which would accrue to them personally,
and thru them, of course, to the
empire, for, naturally, any benefit re-
ceived by hereditary legislator is in
varisbly handed on to the common
people.
In considering this measure, it
should be borne in mind that, until
its passage, the only communication
between the East and West Of London,

and narrow streets which were always

GIVE US TIMEl

The stranger within our gates-and
he numbers many thousands just now
is lavish in his praise of this beauti-
full city, but at the same time he is
prone to criticise-and very justly
some features of metropolitanism
wherein we sadly lack. and are much
behind other cities of even smaller
To them Los Angeles makes its earnest
plea: Give us time!
Los Angeles knows 1t IL shy on ade-
quate storm sewers, and that the
streets consequently become fierce
rivers, bank full, when it rains. But
Los Angeles is working might and
main on an outfall drain to the ocean,
and when that is done, all this will be
remedied. True, other cities have over
come this, but they began only at the
same relative point in their growth
that Los Angeles did; the difference is
that in a few years Los Angeles grew
more than they have done in decades.
Hence. Los Angeles has not yet had
time to finish the work, though sadly
needed, while they are not yet up to
the requirement of what is already
done.
The same holds good as to water sup
| ply. We have now all we need, with
| proper conservation. But we know
what will be needed, and are moving
rapidly in the tremendous Owens river
plan. Shall we get it through before
we have caught up with it? Few be-
lieve we will.
Los Angeles paves and makes more
streets per annum than does any cor
responding city-but it has miles of
earthen roads, because the people come
in and build faster than any set OF
men on the globe can prepare for
them. 1t extends trolley lines quicker
and easier than can be conceived else
where, yet these extensions do not
pretend adequately to follow the citys
spreading growth. 1t erects hotels sur
passed in size and elegance by none,
and by the score every year; yet the
incoming hosts are often at a loss
where to seek an habitation. 1t puts
up homes by the thousand, and yet
hundreds look vainly for houses to
rent. It's stores extend as fast as
buildings can be prepared for them;
still they are congested and cramped
for room, while new concerns hunt
eagerly for vacant space in which to
open business.
And so it goes, all down the line.
Some $4,000 new persons located here
last year, and more are coming In
1906. No city in the United States
In the world, perhaps-equals it's rapid
ity of growth; and the pace increases
year by year. The city works man
fully. trying to keep up with itself,
but the task is hopeless while this
influx lasts.
Give US timel Los Angeles knows its
shortcomings and regrets them. He
roically it is trying to overcome them.
But the tasks OF years cannot be done
In a day. especially when they in
crease faster than they are accom-
plished. Some day, we shall catch up
with ourselves, take long breath. and
be glad; till then, we labor without

CONSTABLE De LA MONTE
PERFORMS CHIVALROUS ACT
ORDERS DEPUTIES TO CEASE ALL
LABORS
Holiday in Honor of Miss Alice Roose-
velt's Marriage Is Observed by
Minions of the LaW--AlI Wear
Orange Blossoms

There was a smile on the face of
morning as he entered his Office and
proceeded to list up the particular
stunts through which he intended to
put Deputy Jack Adams during the
day.
In the constable's lapel buttonhole
fairly bristled large size assortment
of orange blossoms and as his deputies
arrived he explained to each that he
was wearing the flowers because Miss
Alice Roosevelt was to be married, and
that all patriotic Americans should
show this little courtesy to the presi-
dents daughter.
Having all his deputies before him
with the exception of the amiable
Jack, the constable decided to give a
little discourse on patriotism.
There is a certain shop nearby over
the door whereof is displayed a branch
heavy with orange blossoms" said De
La Monte. when each man of you
shall have bedecked himself in a small
spray of said blossoms and shall have
come before me, in honor of Miss
Alice's wedding day, I will decree that
all who have the blossoms will be
allowed a holiday and yet receive full
pecuniary consideration as though they
had worked"
The constable failed to gaze out at
the window at that particular moment
or he would have seen Jack Adams,
who heard the latter part of the decree,
dashing down the street for an orange
branch.
Jack had noted the large assortment
of attachments and subpoenas which
were being placed on his lesk and he
didn't feel that he should be made 'ft'
| in a game of freeze-out.
Twenty minutes later Jack entered
| the Office. The deputy wore spray of
| orange blossoms OH his coat and he
grinned at De La Monte in an under
standing sort of a way and then started
| to close his desk.
"Here, what do you think you are
| doing?" said De La Monte.
To-day Miss Alice gets married." said
Jack, "and it is mans patriotism that
prevents him from working on this day.
| So long, I'm going to the races"
| And he went.
Other county officials observed the
day by wearing orange blossoms,
among them being Justice Young and
several officers in the county clerk s
Office.

obviously impossible, but possibly
funny, situation. and we lose a good
comedy-which we sadly need-in a
poor, discredited problem play. of which
we now have overplus.
Now, New York has problem plays
ITO burn''-and most Of 'em need It,
one may say. en- PEASANT. New York
cares naught for new one. It has

this Is a reflex, till It knows them by
heart. One cannot imagine Broadway
opening itself for a dramatic hash
when It has and can again taste
separately and in larger portions that
hash's original elements.
Let "The Strength Of the Weak" be
revised; let It be rewritten. Cease to
take seriously the problems built up in
its first two acts; laugh at them: mock
them. That's what we would do in real
life. Make of the whole a rollicking
comedy instead Of n perfervid, morbid
and nauseating reality. Keep the
humor and chuck the unhealthy, erotic
and disgusting. Get rid of the tragedy
and have some fun with life. Laugh
and the world laughs with you;" give
the world a chance.
No lesson" will be lost; this teaches
none. Ergo, perhaps one will be
gained: That the real strength of the
weak consists not in taking downcast
views of semi-serious affairs and in
orooding over them to the point Of
cowardly self-destruction; but in fac
ing even the problems with a smil
ing countenance, meeting them square
ly and defantly. exercising the demons
by sheer bravery and conqIerlng even
evil by truth, honesty and that leaven-
ing humor which lcaveneth the whole.
Miss Roberts is young; she has
faults; she must correct them; she
must become original; she must de-
velop personality. She has the ability
to do all this IL she have the will and
the strength Of mind. She possesses
looks, figure, voice and considerable
power; all of these, rightly employed,
make for greatness. One is much en-
couraged and hopeful over her work
here; one does not yet acclaim it her

Why 1T SHOULD WIN

Our persistent friend, the Oakland
Tribune, speaks of The Herald's edi-
torlals on the coming campaign as
Some Democratic Day Dreams" and
in a paragraph says: 1.-THE Los An
seles Herald gives a number Of alleged
reasons why the Democrats can win in
the coming state election. 1t fails,
however, to give a single reason why
they should win"
Reasons are as plentiful as black
berries in the ozark hills Of Missouri,
and while The Herald has given many,
It takes pleasure in presenting a few
seriatlm, so that the Tribune may the
more readily commit them to memory.
First. The Democratic party in CAL
ifornia should win because the Repub-
lican party now in control Of the state
government, has fallen into ownership
by corrupt and despotic machine that
has robbed the people Of their political
freedom and is planning now to foist
upon them a state ticket that is being
Matched in San Francisco by Ruef and
schmitz.
Second. The Democratic party should
win because the dominant party has
been guilty of extravaganza in the adj
minlstration of public affairs and acts
without regard to public interests.
Third. The Democratic party should
win because the great railroads con-
stitute the Republican machine in this
state and by this means prevent the
enactment OF legislation that may be
advantageous to the people and dictate
the nomination and appointment OF
men to office who in the main are ever
ready, in a time of emergency, to act
contrary to the public veal.
Fourth. Because of this railroad
machine control the decent element of
the Republican party has been vir-
tually DISTINGUISHED, robbed of all par
ticipation in the affairs of it's party
and left bound hand and foot to the
corporate enemy within its own ranks.
Fifth. The Democratic party should
win because the Republican party has
temporarily outlived it's usefulness.
Having done it's best for q time it is
now busily engaged in doing it's worst.
Who can say that the legislature of
California, for instance, has at any
recent period represented the people, or
done anything important to benefit the
people? On the contrary, has it not
rather represented the machine power
and humbly bowed its neck to the yoke
of machine dictation?
In a sense, all these lie negative
virtues but they are strong and ire
sstible.
Finally, the Democratic party of Cal
ifornia has thrown overheard it's war
ring factions and gotten together on a
platform of state development, state
growth, a more economical administra-
ton of state affairs, lower taxes
cheaper freight and passenger rates,
legislation in favor of the taxpayers
and general housekeeping at Sacra-
mento and among the state institu-
tons.
Want any more reasons, Mr.. Tribune

POOR MANS PARADISE

Elizabeth Shirley in the Omaha Bet
has an article descriptive Of Los An.
geles that is in the main correct and
as a rule quite complimentary. But
she makes one mistake to which at
tention is called in no carplng spirit
but for purposes of correction. She
says:
Los Angeles has l believe a bright
future and Is rapidly becoming a great
metropolitan fact, Is that now-bu
1t is the rich mans country. The mar
with a substantial bank account may
build an ideal home here, but the pooi
man will find wages low, every line OF
business overcrowded and often nj
employment at any price.
This is a common error of many who
come to Los Angeles and view every.
thing from the standpoint of a hote
window. They look upon the rich fur.
nlshlngs, the thousands of automobiles
the comngs and golngs of wealthy
tourists, the brilliantly lighted and
crowded street, the marvellous real es'
tate transactions, and they say al
once-"beautiful, but no place for q
poor man."
Back of all this rush and crush Is
the workingman, the carpenter, the
builder and the mechanic of all kinds
He has plenty of employment at as
good wages as he can get elsewhere
and no struggle with the fierce ele-
ments of cold, snow, storms, ice and
sleet. He works amid eternal verdure
and pleasing sunshine, varied during
the winter season by spring rains that
make the grass and trees greener and
the flowers more beautiful.
There are some lines Of employment
that are overcrowded for the average
man-such as bookkeepers, small shop
keepers, clerks and the like--for many
persons come here i'll and desire light
employment at small wages. These
are the people who suffer disappoint-
ment, not the mechanics and stout
workers. But in all lines there is al
ways demand for the man. in any
and every employment, who can do
things better than the other fellow"
And this is the ideal land for poor
mans hone. He can buy a lot for
from $500 to $3.50, in reach of car lines
in any direction; he can get easy terms
and plenty of time; he can build a
home for $500 to s150O-again on easy
terms or for cash. He has practically
no fuel to buy and none of the ex-
traordinary expenses which keep his
nose to the grindstone in the east
But in coming to Los Angeles he
must bring with him a reasonable sum
of money, for he is coming thousands
of miles away from relatives, friends
and acquaintance and beginning his
life anew among total strangers. He
must expect to begin at the bottom,
no matter who he is or what he has
done elsewhere, When he gets a chance
and can show good workmanship he
will go to the top quicker than he car
anywhere else, because the reliable and
superior workman is always in de-
mand.
Los Angeles is both a rich and a
poor mans paradise. The blue skies
and bright sunshine are over them all

BRIDGETON, N. j., Feb. 1.-THE
small Jewish colony of Carmel, six
miles from this city, is In state of
intense excitement. It's merchants are
all under arrest and today is holiday,
while these, 16 In number. appear be-
fore the authorities here to answer a
charge of violating the Sabbath. Busi-
ness was entirely suspended and many
persons accompanied the accused. Two
strangers visited Carmel Sunday morn
ing. They went in every business
house and purchased various things,
They were representatives of the
Brldgeton Law and order society, and
in short time secured satisfactory
evidence. Complaints were made and
warrants served.
The band OF Jewish settlers, headed
by several professional men, made
strong objections to having the case
tried today, and after securing legal
advice this afternoon had 1t postponed
until Monday next.
In the Carmel colony there are only
two American families. all the others
are emigrants, and Saturday Is OBJ
served as the Sabbath day.
