OWL CARS COMING

OWL ChhS OOFllNC
THAT Los Angeles will get owl cars
and right speedily too. no one we'll in
formed longer doubts. The question
has been brought ohicially to the no
tlce of the city council, the working
majority Of committee Of that body
has put It up to Mr.. Huntington and
the latter's attorney Mr.. Dunn, stated
through The Herald yesterday that
facts and figures were now compiling
to give costs, hours Of service and other
data necessary before plans can he
announced. When this work is done
the Los Angeles public may expect def
inite announcements.
Thus 1t seems that, after all, Los An
geles is to have owl cars through the
good grace and compliance of Mr.
Huntington, without compulson,
rather than by force and by vlr-
tue OF the legal power resting in the
council to order their operation. This
is as it should be; while no one doubts
the councils right to compel them, the
there has always been a general de-
sire to have Mr.. Huntington meet his
customers half way in this, their great
desire for all night service, and that
now seems to be what will take place.
1t is the better way, too; it brings the
trolley magnate into closer touch with
The people he serves and establishes
a friendlier relation between them, a
feeling of cordiality and good will quite
apart from the bitterness usually ex-
istent between public service corpo-
rations and their patrons at large.
Perhaps, had the manana doc"
Houghton done his duty-which he did
not, in this case, most conspicuously
owl cars would have begun running by
now. He was, by his own intrigue,
named at the head of the committee to
see Mr.. Huntington about them, but
he has evaded and shirked this duty
ever since. There might of course be
deduced therefrom the inference that
his vociferous vocalizations against
these corporations were mere bun
combe to hide his real sympathy and
affiliatio with them, but that scarcely
applies here. The point is that
by his evasions and neglect his conf
mittee colleagues have been placed in
a very awkward position. He being
their chairman, in courtesy they were
bound to await his initiatives; Mr.. Hun
tington in the meantime was equally
bound to await his pleasure to become
aware of the city's desires.
That Doc" renigged, everyone knows.
But what the city rejoices over is
that Mr.. Huntington is big enough
and broad enough not to daily over
technicalities and temporizers;, that he
recognized the subsidiary members of
the committee Messrs. Healy and
Kern, as it's real CONSTITUENCIES; that he
has needed the voice of his patrons,
and that he will put owl cars in ser
vice regardless Of councilmanic action,
on his own initiative entirely.
For that, Mr.. Huntington, The Her
aid for itself and in behalf of the pub
lie generally, congratulates you and
tenders hearty thanks.

TnDDYS SPELLING BEE

Theodore Roosevelt now president
Of these United States, has gone off on a
new tangent Now he would reform
the spelling book and dictate to us our
orthography.
The United States Is by this time
pretty well accustomed to the vagarles
Of its chief executive. IL has had re-
hashed for it, time and again, the tales
Of his erratic youth, his doings In col
| lege, his experiences as a ranch man,
and his gyrations when police commits
sioner OF New York. It retains vivid
memories of his antics when assistant
secretary of the navy; and his doings
during hts brief career as soldier are
part of tho national history he never
permits us to forget. Since he became
president he has kept himself con-
stantly i'm the public eye by strenuous
carryings-on, by outre dicta, such as
comments on the regulation of the baby
supply, utterances on the relation Of
husband and wife, marriage and de
vorce, and other affairs quite without
the range of the presidential scope and
domain. And we have accepted these
and many other tokens of his craving
for the limelight in good humored toll
erance, laughing a bit at his pseudo
earnestness and highly amused at the
fool he made Of himself on sundry and
several occasions thereby.
But now this ground-and-lofty-tu
bling president goes off on a new tack.
Having exhausted war, hunting, sport,
politics and the domestic arena, he
bucks UP on a new hobby. and once
more mortifies his compatriots and as
tounds the world by adopting and adj
vocating-what? Reformed spelling
In other words, not satisfied with his
mother tongue-a language which is
the growth of centuries, the most elas-
tic known, and hallowed by traditions
innumerable, and sacred to every
speaker of it-a language rapidly
superseding, by its very worth and
adaptability, every other one spoken
under heaven-this wonderfully beauti
full, delicate and complex growing Ian
guage he would mutllate, emasculate,
distort and wreck, simply because some
few persons find it too much trouble to
learn it's harmonies, and are too stupid
to appreciate its foundations, it's COM
pex loveliness, its fiexibility or its
reasons for being
President Roosevelt-himself college
man-should know better than to
do this. Surely he is aware that Ian
guage is not a fiat creation, but
growth OF ages, Changes, certainly,
take place in it constantly, if it be
living tongue, but they come about
slowly, by attrition, as it were. and are
not the result Of either edtct or order.
As a people finds them ssary, one
at time they come into being by COM
mon consent and neither ruler nor po-
tentate has anything to do with their
creation or promulgation; they are as
natural as is the wearing away of the
rocks by trickling stream-and as
slow.
This hop-scotch president of ours has
tackled many things since a tragedy
gave him power some wise and some
foolish. But in all his career he never
before attempted 50 laughable-or
deplorable-a scheme as to reform"
the spelling of nation by an edict of
the pen.

Damage Judgment Affirmed.

The supreme court today rendered
decision affirming the judgment of
the district court Of Blaine county,
In the case Of John Crowley VS.. Croes-
us Gold & Copper Mining company.
The action was brought by Crowley
for damages for personal injuries re-
ceived while at work in the mines of
the Croesus company by the hosting
bucket upsetting and emptying its
contents on Crowley, who was at work
at the bottom of the shaft, the mech
anism of the bucket being defective,
the company having notice of such de-
feet The jury returned verdict in
favor of Crowley, fixing his damages
in the sum of $4,000, upon which YER
dict the judgment was entered and is
now affirmed by the supreme court.
The main error relied upon by the
appellant, the mining company, in its
appeal. was the insufficiency of the
original complaint, together with
other questions of practice, all of
which are held to be regular and suf-
ficient to authorize and sustain the
judgment.
The opinion in the case is by Chief
Justice Stockslager, concurred in by
both justices.-Boise Capital News.
