It is too often true of the unhappy children who are forced to rise too ear ly in their classes that they are con- ceited all the forenoon of life and stu pid all it's afternoon. The vigor Mnd freshness which should have been stor- ed up for the purposes oif the hard struggle for existence in practical life have been washed out of them by pre- cocious mental debauchery by glut- tony and lesson bibbIng.

TAKING A DARE

A few weeks ago hasty marriage
in this city between two people who
had known each other but short time
was explained by the silly pair in the
statement that they had been dared"
to get married and had refused to
take the dare" A week or so later
a young man was drowned near this
city and the coroner's inquest revealed
the fact that, although his friends
knew that he could not swim, they had
dared him to go into deep water,
where he met his death.
The man, woman or child who dares
another to do a dangerous or fool
hardy deed in which injury or death
results is morally criminal. In the
case of the marriage referred to above
the silly couple who bound their lives
together under such circumstances are
likely TO reap the reward of their folly
when they know each other better.
In the other cases the victims of the
dare are beyond regret for their
momentary rashness. For a dare Is
but folly's challenge to weakness,
weakness of moral fiber lack of cour-
age to say no. Brave men and we'll
balanced women never give or take a
dare; 1t is only fools.
1t is great pity that some punish
ment cannot be meted out to the person
who dares another to put life or limb
IN jeopardy Perhaps law making
II crime for one person to instigate
another to a hazardous deed or action
would meet the case.-PhiladeIphia

FAvoRlTE MODERATE pAsrIME

Girls staying in country houses may,
If 1t so please them, make pretty little
gifts as a surprise and pleasure for
their hostesses. Candle or electric
light shades are always acceptable.
The newest are those of pink or
white velvet, ornamented with a de-
sign Of single rose--the only rose
that Ruslsin approved--or a grape pat
tern in body color: the background to
be cut out and filled in with green
gauze.
Before cutting the velvet spread on
IT'S back a very thin coat of paste.
which gives certain stiffness TO the
fabric, and makes 1t easy to cut with
clean edges.
Anyone who has learned to do net
ting during it's present season of pop
ularity can make the most charming
lamp shade by putting the net over
colored silk.
Pockets for hanging on a bedroom
wall, telegram, Bradshaw and novel
eases sachets, bags and the like are
delightful when made Of odd bits of
old brocade and finished with ANTIQUE
gold or silver braid.

Willy mLAcHLAN

The Democratic candidate for con-
gre IN the Los Angeles district, Rob-
ert q. Loucks. has challenged his Re
publican opponent to series Of joint
public debates r.. Loucks desires to
go before the voters OF this county, in
company with Congressman McIachlan,
to discuss leading subjects Of interest
to the people Of this section. The points
Of discussion suggested by Mr.. Loucks
relate to the practical suppression Of
water commerce by the railway COM
bne the unrestricted traffic charges by
the railway and the attempt Of monop-
olists to control San Pedro harbor.
The voters of Los Angeles county
would be glad to witness such a discus
sion as the Democratic candidate for
congress desires. The questions sug-
gested for debate are of great present
Importance. and the people have a right
to the fullest acquaintance with the
views of men who seek to represent
this district in the next congress.
II is an entirely safe guess, however
that the voters will not have the pleas
ure of hearing these issues discussed
by the two congressional candidates
Congressman McLachlan probably has
no more yearning now for such joint
discussion than he had two years ago
when he was similarly challenged by
Mr.. Morton, then his Democratic OPP
ponent.
AS matter of fact, the Hon. James
McLachlan Is too willy a politician to
place himself in a position where he
may be catechzed before the people.
He has a weakness for public speaking,
but he prefers to tell of the wonderful
things he has done pro bono publico
without the risk of being questioned
for particulars. For instance, he
loves to expatiate on the San
Pedro harbor as an outcome of
the personal efforts of Hon. James
McLachlan, but he knows it would be
embarrassing to undergo cross-ques-
tioning in public concerning his modest
claim. A similar example is seen in the
attempted absorption, by Mr.. McLach-
Ian, of nearly all credit for the govern
ment's backing Of the Owens valley wa
ter project.
No, Mr.. McLachlan will not accept
Mr.. Loucks' challenge, unless The Her.
aid is wofully mistaken. The would-be
perennial representative of the Los An
geles district in congress prefers to
have no ANALYSIS made of his record and
no investigation of his inferential claim
that he is the only man in Los Angeles
county who is competent to represent
this congressional district at Washing
ton.

ENJOY STAY IN HAWAII
PINEAPPLE FEAST is TENDERED
THEM BY FORMER ANeELENO
Visit the Volcano and Cook in the Hot
Lava-Luau, or Native Dinner, and
Hula Dance a Feature of Their
Stay on the Islands

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
HONOLULU, Sept. 1S.-(Editor Her.
add: The Southern California Editor
ial association, now visiting these
islands, returned on Saturday from a
five days trip to the island of Hawaii
and the active volcano Kilauea after
a delightful time, at which they were
given luau, or native feast, at Hilo,
followed by ball.
The great crater was very impress
sive sight to the visitors, who OBJ
tanned numerous snap shots and made
a ten-mile tramp over the lava beds,
cooking coffee and toasting potatoes
in the hot crevices.
Since the return to Honolulu a grand
luau was given on Monday night by
the citizens of Honolulu, at which adj
dresses were made by Ex-Governor
Dole and other island dignitaries. as
well as by members of the associa-
tion. A native band furnished the
music, followed by hula dance by
native girls About two hundred at
tended the banquet. Today the whole
party went by special train to the
large pineapple plantation at Wahai-
wal, owned largely by Mr.. Thomas, a
former Los Angeles man, who especi-
ally demanded that each member of
the party eat an entire pineapple, and
the excursionists had little difficulty
in meeting his demands, as the fruit
was deliciously ripe.
Today many of the party visited the
monster ship Manchuria, which has
been docked here for temporary re-
pairs and will sail in about ten days
for San Francisco.
Many private entertainments are be-
ing given to the visiting newspaper
people and the trip is proving any
thing but restful for the majority.
Most of the association party will
sail on the 23d instant on the Sonoma
for California, reaching Los Angeles
about October 20 or 30, or soon after.
All are we'll and no accidents re-
ported except one sprained ankle,
which is rapidly improving
The Evening Bulletin of this city
will be issued entirely by staff from
the California Editorial association on
Thursday Already ten pages of extra
advertising has been contracted for
for that issue. L. f. DOLITTLE.
