woMAN's PRIDE IN HER HAIR

Women have great times with their
hair. If they visit in dry climate they
are sure to say when they come home:
MY hair acted lovely: it did not come
out of curl at ALL" If they go where
it is damp they say when they come
home: ''It was the worst place for hair;
my hair was as straight as string all
the time" Once in three or four weeks
they wash their hair and then they tell
each other how they cannot do g. thing
with their hair, as it has just been
washed For week or before 1T is
washed they say 1t is a disgrace they do
not wash their hair; that 1t Is so sticky
they cannot do thing with 1t. The
women are always telling each other
they look horrid with their hair done
low, or else they would not be seen with
it done high. Their hair is either all
coming out or else they cannot imagine
what has happened, but 1t Is coming
in thick and lovely AS they walk
down the street the women are forever
reaching for their back hair and catcli
ing up short locks with hairplns, or
feeling to see IL their hair Is coming
down When they get in front of
mirror the very first thing the women
look at is their hair and twitch it one
way or the other. No matter what any
woman has on her mind her hair takes
first place.-Atchison Globe.

JUDICIAL SALARIES

The Los Angeles Bar association, at
its annual banquet in this city Thurs
day night. unanimously declared in
favor of the proposed constitutional
amendment to adjust and equalize the
judicial salaries in this state.
This is question of considerable
Importance and should have the at
tention of every voter. because it is a
measure of justice, economy, reason
ableness and fairness.
In 1905 the legislature enacted law
purporting to fix the salaries of JUS
tices of the supreme court at $4,000 each,
and of justices of the district courts Of
appeal at $1,000. The constitution, how
ever, provides that the salaries of the
justices shall not be increased or dinin-
lshed during the term for which they
are elected. The consequence is that
this statute cannot apply to any of the
incumbents of the respective offices
1t does not go into practical operation,
tices, until next January, and even
then it will apply only to those JUS
tices who have been elected for full
terms at the next November election.
Justices Henshaw and Lorigan are
the only justices of the supreme court
whose terms expire with the present
year. Their successors are to be elect
ed in November and take office on the
first Monday of next January, and
will then receive the increased salary
of $4,000 year. The terms which JUS
tees Mcfarland and Sloss are now
serving do not expire until January,
1911, and those Of Chief Justice Beatty
and of Justices Angelotti and Shaw
do not expire until January. 1915. Dur
ing all of these terms these justices
or their successors, can receive no
more than the salary of $6OOO as fixed
by the law Of 1872. while their two as
sociates will bo receiving the $4,000 sal
airy provided by the act OF 1905.
The terms of the nine justices of the
district court of appeal begin anew in
January next and from that time for
ward these nine justices will be in re-
eeipt of the increased salary.
By the present constitutional pro-
vision the salaries of the district court
Justices are to be ''the same" as those
of the supreme court justices, and It is
generally conceded that the provision
Of the act Of 1905, giving them $1,000
only, is imperative, and this may re,
suit in giving them also the $4,000 a
year, the same as the supreme court
Justices.
II matters are left in this Condition
we shall have a curious and anomalous
discrepancy In the compensation Of
Justices. Chief Justice Beatty, Judges
Mcfarland, Angellotti Shaw and the
Justice elected to complete the unex.
pired term Of the late Justice Van
Dyke, now filed by Justice Sloss, will
each be serving for salary OF $sOOO
performing the same duties and an
equal share OF the work with their two
newly elected associates, who win be
paid $4,000. This win manifestly be
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-22

somewhat embarrassing as we'll az un-
reasonable and unjust.
In addition to this, the justices Of the
several district courts Of appeal will
have the increased salary Of $4,000. The
supreme court is the highest court OF
the state, and has jurisdiction through
out its borders and supervisory author
ity over the district courts OF appeal.
Yet those of the Justices above named,
some OF whom at least by long and ef-
ficient service have achieved fame and
eminenoe as jurists, are thus forced to
the humiliatlng position Of serving for
less compensation than Is given TO the
Justices of the district courts which arc
of lower grade and limited Jurisdiction.
Every one VIII at once recognize the
propriety OF the suggestion that Chief
Justice Beatty should certainly receive
as much salary as any of his colleagues
or any Justice of the district court Of
appeal
The proposed constitutional amend
ment was designed to remedy this un-
AVoSVHNbiG DISQUALIFICATION ~ plON AOtS
a salary of $4,000 year for the supreme
court justices and $1,000 year for dis
trict Justices, to apply Immediately to
all the justices.
There is no other remedy. The salary
Of Justice cannot be changed by
statute after he is elected. If the next
legislature should repeal the law in
creasing the salary. that would not af-
feet the newly elected full term justices
Of either court, and they would con-
tlnue to receive the increase during the
whole of such terms, while their asso-
clates would be compelled to accept the
lower rate.
The amendment Will accomplish the
purpose by operating on the constitu-
tion itself, and 1t thus eliminates all
uncertainty of construction and lack
Of uniformity arising from the statute
taking effect at different times upon
the respective justices.
The proposed amendment will not
make the aggregate amount of salaries
to be paid larger than 1t will be with
out the amendment, except in the
triling sum of $1,000 per year for the
first four years, after which 1t will re-
suit in a saving amounting after eight
years, to $4,000 per annum.

stick Of considerable size. The latne
for turning stone was known as early
as $500 g. c.. for beautifully turned
vases Of onyx, alabaster, granite ana
porphyry from that age appeared az
Bismya, and a large number OF small
stone cylinders upon which were en-
graved various devices have come to
LIGHT. The cylinders, perfectly turned,
are of the hardest apis-lazuli,
crystal, jasper and meteorlc stone. The
devices upon them are so exceedingly
well executed that the attempts OF the
modern manufacturers Of spurious an
tlquities are generally inferior.
Various explanations Of the origin
of the chuch steeple have been ad-
vauced. whether the clock tower OF
the medieval cathedral, or the dome
OF the Jewish synagogue, or the Mo-
hammedan mineret, or the Egyptian
obelisK be regarded as an ANCESTOR We
find its first parent in the temple OF the
earliest Babylonian days. The hrst
temple was but a mound OF dirt upon
which tho image of the god and the
offerings TO II were placed. AS civll-
zatlon increased the mound grew higher
with various stages and exterior stair-'
ways. Later. chambers for the priests
about the base OF the tower were con-
structed. and the shrine was trans
ferred from the summit OF the tower 70
them, yet tho tower remained. The
ruins Of one tower near Babylon still
reach 1853 feet above the plain.
Thus civilization which we are in
clined to think is modern, or perhaps
never quite SO advanced as now, ana
which we would bolievo is largely the
fruit of our own labors, Is shown to be
of an exceedingly slow growth. To al
most more than any other man the
gratitude of the world is due to him
who discovered that the clay beneath
his camp fire had burned hard--he thus
discovered the brick OF which most OF
the great structures Of the modern
world arc made; or to that other an
cient who accidentally revolved the
board upon which he wassslapping clay,
for he invented the pottd%s wheel, and
the beautiful shapes of modern ceramic
art resulted or to him who first inter-
twined the fibers or the leaves as
covering for his nakedness-he invent
ed the art of viewing.

Why SMITH LEFT HONE


Not since the marvellous experiences
of Saul Of Tarsus, when en- route to
Damascus has there been change
Of heart more wonderful than the one
revealed by Councilman smith. IN
Gle George" was not going up to Da-
mastus os was saul, but he was com
ing down from san Francisco when he
experienced the remarkable change. 1t
should be stated, incidentally. that
Walter Parker was in company with
Uncle Gorge" in the Journey from
san Francisco to Los Angeles.
It is presumable, although no infor-
nation on the point is given, that
Uncle Georse, like Saul, saw a great
light at sonne point on the journey.
That is inferable from the suddenness
of the change subsequently noted. The
first symptom OF the change appeared
in the disclosure that Uncle Georges
ambition to become mayor of Los An
geles had been utterly and completely
snuffed out. 1t was a strange dlsclos-
ure, truly, to friends of the councilman
who were familiar with the earnest
chase he had been making after the
mayoral rainbow.
The public explanation of Uncle
Georges Transformation is scarcely
less astonishing than the episode. He
says, MY own private interests have
assumed such proportions in the state
of Nevada. practically demanding my
personal attention, that I cannot in
Justice to myself think of continuing
longer in the service of the city at
this time" That is strange, because
prior to his last visit to Nevada he
not only could "think of continuing
there was good reason to believe he
was thinking Of nothing else.
But nobody who understands the
gearing OF the local S. p. and Repub-
lican machine, and how 1t is manipu-
lated by Walter Parker, doubts for a
moment that the great light seen by
| Uncle George on his journey from San
Francisco was the headlight of q po-
litical locomotive. And no person thus
informed can fail to smile at the
transparent excuse offered for Uncle
Georges sudden abandonment of his
ambition to be mayor.
Let not the lesson taught by Coun-
Gilman Smiths experience be lost on
the voters of this city. 1t was not be-
cause Uncle Georges ardor for the
mayoralty had cooled, nor because of
his interests in Nevada, that he sud
| denly curbed his aspiration. 1t is as
clear as sunlight to all who are IA
miliar with Boss Parkers potency in
the local Republican party that he is
more complete dictator in the party
than is the car in the affairs of Rus
| sia.
| Another chaser Of nayoral rainbow,
DR.. Lindley, suited the purpose Of Boss
Parker better, as a prospective mayor,
| than Councilman Smith. Hence, on
that memorable journey from San
Francisco to Los Angeles the boss in
timated ITO Uncle George that he must
step down and out as an aspirant, and
that he must go at once.
Such is the true inwardness'' of
Councilman Smiths sudden recollec-
,tion that his Nevada interests de
mand his personal attention"
