viii print and publish its "PROCLA-

valuable documents published on be-
half of this city.
Orders have been received for many
thousands of copies of The Herald {

WOES OF A FIGUREHEAD

Chief-acting chief-of Police Walter
Aub1e is ready to quit. He has occu-
pied the chair as head of the force less
than year, and he has had enough.
He wants to doff the eagles and put
on again the double bars of a captain,
resume his old rank and get rid of the
responsibilities and woes of a figure
head.
Less than year ago Chief Billy
Hammel did this thing. He was a
good chief for considerable while,
but one day he found a hammer-wield-
ing mayor up in the city hall, who
wanted the police chief to be one cog
in his machine, and the policemen to
be a whole lot of little cogs. And then
Billy" Hammel quit. AS he told The
Herald at the time, he could not be
actually a chief; he could not own his
own soul. So he passed up the job.
Walter Auble stepped into the Ham
mel shoes. They didn't fit; he had
plenty Of room to grow; he said so
himself He, too, talked to The Herald
about his hopes and aspira tions. He
was asked whether he would be chief
in fact or only a monkey on a stick.
by God" he said, as he hit his desk
mighty whack with his clenched fist,
"I'll be chief in fact. or I'll quit"
Auble started bravely. He really
gave evidences of wanting to do the
right thing. Perhaps he thought he
could.
But now Auble wants to quit He
has had enough. He is through.
Is 1t because Auble can't really be
de facto chief that he prefers to &c
back to the ranks? Give him the bene.
Mt of any doubt that may exist; he
said he would quit If he couldn't rur
and rule his own force; he certainly
has been able-doubtless through M
fault of his own-to do neither; let 4
stand. then, that he resigns for tina
reason alone-because a chief of polio,
of Los Angeles must be a mere mes
senger boy for a hammer-wielder u,
at the city hall who is busy making I
political machine for his own aggran
dizement. The mayor must run tn,
police force as part OF his machina
tions-and the real chief must be ,
puppet or quit
Isn't this delightful situation 70
the citizens Of Los Angeles to ponde
over?

REcLAIMINe ARID LAND

contrary to commonly accepted ideas
as the statement may be, ii is, never
theless, an amply demonstrated fact
that wherever in this great arid en-
pire the annual rainfall averag ges as
high as twelve inches, as good crops
, can be raised without irrigation as
with it.
This means that almost every acre
of the great plains between the Missouri
| river and the Rocky mountains, and
most of the intermountain parks and
| plateaus between the Rockies and the
Pacific will produce as abundantly as
will the rich prairie lands of Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Illinois, and much more
abundantly than the richest of the lands
in any of the older states along the
Atlantic seaboard, that there is enough
land utilized, if at all, only for grazing
to make possible the trebing or quad
rupling of the present farming popula-
tion of the United States; that, outside
of comparatively small areas in west
ern Texas and in portions of Utah,
Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming,
South Dakota and Southern California,
there is little arabic land in the great
west that may not be divided into
forty-acre farms, each one of which will
be capable of supporting an average
sized family.
Probably there is no exaggerat ton in
the statement made by one writer that
the region between the foothills of the
Rocky mountains, bounded on the
south of the Rio Grande and on the
north by the Canadian border, is capa-
BILE of producing fruits, cereals. vege-
tables and live stock sufficient for the
support Of the entire population of the
globe.
The vast area of fertile, and as yet
almost unutilized land, is the founda-
tion upon which the American people
must build for the continuance of their
prosperity for at least a century TO
come. Properly utilized, it may solve
many perplexing problems 1t will re-
lieve the congestion of the cities, pro-
vide an outlet for superabundant cspi-
tai and afford opportunities for the en-
terprising and discontented for decades.
1t contains the richest mineral deposits
the greatest forest resources, the most
fertile soil and the most genial and
salubrious climate on this continent.
What its development and explolta-
tion would mean to the transporta-
tion, manufa cturing, mercantile, finan-
cial and labor interests of the nation
cannot be even dimly foreshadowed.
1t would furnish a stimulus that would
be felt not merely in the great centers
of population and industry, but in the
remotest hamlet and on the most iso-
lated farm in the republic.-The

citation has the support of all Boyle and
Euclid Heights in petitioning the park
commissioners to accept tract of
land offered as park site on Stephen

particular section of he city and the
land offered is said to be peculiarly
fitted for the purpose. 1t is not waste
land entirely, and can at comparatively

BLANKE1LIKE TICKET

In the election Of 1904 facetious Los
Angeles voters llkened the ticket to
various things Of huge dimensions cul-
minating in complete circus poster.
As the ticket for the coming election
promises to be still more expansive It
may be dihicult to find similes to ft It.
The form Of the state ticket, as indl-
Gated oficialiy by the secretary of
state. calls for a large section of space.
Each political party represented on the
state ticket will be entitled to space
naming candidates for the following
positions.
Governor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary of state controller, treasurer, at
torney general, surveyor general clerk
Of the supreme court, superintendent Of
public instruction, superintendent of
state printing, two associate justices Of
the supreme court for full term, one
associate Justice of the supreme court
for unexpired term of Walter Van
Dyke, deceased: presiding justice of the
district court Of appeals. two associate
representative In congress, member of
the state board Of equalization, railroad
commissioner
Allowing the Los Angeles voter time
to take breath after reading that long
winded state end of the ticket, let him
fill his lungs and tackle the county
end, thus:
Three state senator's. nine members of
the assembly, five judges of the superior
court for full term, one Judge of the
superior court for the unexpired term
of NJ. T. Allen, resigned; sheriff, county
clerk. auditor, recorder, tax collector,
district attorney, assessor, county
treasurer, superintendent of schools.
public administrator, coroner county
surveyor, supervisor first and third dis
trict, a Justice of the peace in each
township, constable in each township.
No wonder that a great buzzing be-
gins to be heard in the political hive.
And that large assortment of political
plums does not cover the whole in
ventory, so far as Los Angeles city is
concerned. The buzzing sound here
will be swelled by the activity of the
municipal campaign, eliminating a
month later than that of the state and
county, but to some extent minglng
Herewith. And the municipal plums at
stake may as well be exposed as an
addendum to the foregoing list, as fol-
lows: Mayor, city clerk, city attorney,
treasurer. auditor, tax and license COL
lector, assessor, nine councilmen and a
board of education.

that 1 happened to look at was on a
steamer running between New Orleans

keeper of New Orleans, a widower with
children. Another was a buxom wo-

travelling with her maid. None of us

pair wanted to be married at sea- but II
came out later that the children OF
both of them were opposed to their get

They'd been sweetheartS in their
youth, although when their respective
mates died they hadn't resumed the
former relationship, and had only met
accidentally in Vera Cruz on this win
ter trip.
"They explained their reasons to the
skipper, all right, and even If their rea-
sons hadn't been so good the skipper
would surely have married them upon
their mere request, for I've a notion
most shippers have sneaking fondness
for marrying folks. The middle aged
pair wanted to have the knot tied al
sea so that their children, who were tc

would have no chance to get away with
whatever crouch they might have COM

"They made nightly handsome and

SILK STOCKINGS AMAZED THEM

Simple minded folk, the Norwegians.
That simplicity is instanced again In a
story told by Mrs. Slater of Boston, who
has been doing Norway in an auto with
party of American women. One day
Mrs. Slater and a companion were
walking up and down In front of a
small country hotel when she noticed
all the servants and idlers about the
place watching them solemnly. A little
annoyed, she asked the proprietor If
there was anything strange about her
appearance. "It is your shoes. madam,
and your thin stockings" he replied.
''These persons never saw anything ex-
cept thick woolen stocking knit by
hand and heavy leather shoes. The
waitress asked me If you had any old
stockings you did not want or any
shoes to give away She wants TO show
them to her mother, who is bedridden
and cannot see you" Mrs. Slater found
a sample of American footwear for the
maid and was thanked with ferver.-

A VICTIM oH PIRATES

The old saying that "nnisfortune,
never come singiy" seems to be exem.
pllfed in the experience OF San Fran.
cisco. A succession Of serious troubles
has been met there from the date of the
great calamity until the present time
Backsets have been encountered Al
every effort made to give the stricken
city a start in resainlng it's footing
What is commonly calle bad luck
has olung to the ruins like barnacles Il
the bottom Of crippled ship st sea.
The most deplorabe of all San Fran.
cisco's misfortunes, consequent upon
the calamity. has just been definitely
and fully revealed. That is the deter
mination of the foreign insurance com
panies, and Of still underlined proper
tion Of the domestic compaLies, to de-
fraud the policy holders of their money.
It is the money thus to be held up that
the policy holders have depended upon,
largely. for the means herewith to
reconstruct the city and to resume bus
mess.
All hope of a Square deal" by the
foreign insurance companies, in respect
to San Francisco, was dissipated by
the announcement made officially on
Wednesday. 1t Is cold-blooded re-
sponse to the appeal of the policy
holders for their money, $2,500, 900, made
by the big Phoenix Royal company Of
Vienna. Here It is "All claims which
have been filed against this company
by reason of the earthquake which oc-
Cured April 1s, 1905, are invalid, as all
policies of this company became null
and void by said earthquake, as the
same was wholly responsible for the
conflagration that followed"
The Austrian company has stated its
position more explicitly than the other
foreign companies thus far, but all
have given intimations to the same pur-
port. Following the lead of escape by
the earthquake loophole, a large pro-
portion of the domestic companies will
be likely to defy payment in like
manner.
But while the insurance hold-up is
the greatest of San Francisco's misfor-
tunes it is only one of many of serious
character. Labor strikes have almost
suspended the city's port business and
have blocked railway traffic. Recon-
struction work is making poor headway
because of extortionate prices for ma
terials and the outrageous demands of
mechanics. And in addition to the
whole group Of that class OF trouble
there is acute friction between leading
citizens who have the best interests of
the city at heart and the politicians
who have control of the local govern
ment.
More than that, the leading news
papers of San Francisco are daily show
ing that the former system of municipal
graft has been re-established on a
larger and deeper basis than ever be-
fore, and that whereas in the careless
San Francisco graft was winked at and
overlooked. 1t is now a serious and un-
bearable crime, one which is sapping
the worn energies of the citizens and
doing immeasurable damage to a great
municipality.
San Francisco is being rebuilt and
eventually will be restored to its former
glorious position, but 1t is also being
pathetically hampered and ridden by
pirates of all descriptions.
