HERMAN w. HrLLMAN

An example OF the reward OF per-
sonai merit, and also Of ability to grasp
opportunities In this land Of sunshine,
Is afforded IN the career OF the late
Herman W. Hellman.
Young men who are entering upon
the stage Of business life might with
great benefit study the business his
tory of the late banker And there is
not young man in Southern California
today who has not quite as good a
prospect for success as young Hellman
had at the outset of his career.
The poor Bohemian lad, who earned
his first dollar at the age of is, on
dock down at Wilmington. was less
favored by urnstances than most
boys of the present time. But the Bo-
hemian boy possessed the essential ele-
ments of business SUGGEST He was in-
dustrious, frugal. ambitious ana infex-
IDLY honest. He had no capital but his
character and his hopes.
With this start at the bottom of the
ladder. young Hellman began a la
borious but determined ascent. Instead
of Sowing wild oats" as is far too
common with young Americans. he
saved money from his meager earnings
and looked up eagerly to the next rung
Of the ladder.
And so he kept on, gradually ascend
ing by hard work and increasing capa-
bility until he attained the station Of
a multimilllonaire. With that attain
ment, also, he earned the priceless re-
spect and confidence Of all who knew
him
He passes over to the great major
ity," leaving in this community a sense
of distinct loss, as of one who will be
missed not only in business affairs but
as well in the field of philanthropy, in
which he was a conspicuous figure.

nomination for superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. The only delegate from
Riverside county who stood by Pardee
and voted for him was Editor Clarke
of the Press. and he Is said TO have
been the only member of the Riverside
delegation who paid his fare. SINH
larly, the only member OF the orange
county delegation who refused TO sac
rifice Pardee at the behest of the rail-
road bosses was Editor McPhes OF the
Blade, and by an interesting coinci-
dence he Is said 20 have been the only
delegate from Orange county who did
not have one of Parker's red tickets.
Dominated by the Railroad
McPhee Is not afraid of anybodys
displeasure He has offered to prove
if need be that Hyatts nomination for
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion was obtained by "a diclker with
Walter Parker. And he had declared
In the Blade of the 18th inst. that "in
order to provide for Hyatt a place on
the Republican ticket ten out Of the
eleven delegates from Riverside be-
trayed their instruction to vote for the
nomination OF George G. Pardee."
This same journal-edited, be IL re-
membered, by a delegate to the con-
vention declared shortly after the
disgraceful work at Santa Cruz ended
that while the ticket, as a whole, was
made UP Of men with good records, it
had been chosen without regard to
the true interests and wishes of the
people and the party" and that the
convention from start to finish was
dominated and controlled absolutely
and completely by the political agents
and employees of the Southern Pacific"
In concluding its very spirited and
patriotic article on the convention,
the Blade declared there had been en-
tirely too much railroad control of the
Republican party in state affairs; that
an end must be put to It, and that "the
Republican state ticket does not COM
mand and does not for the reasons
given, deserve our full and loyal sup
port"
Many Republicans for Bell
1t is little wonder in view of the
betrayal of Governor Pardee by the
Riverside and Orange delegations, that
many Republicans in these two coun-
ties have declared their intention to
vote for Bell as the only effective
means Of nanifesting their determina-
alton not to submit to such an out
rageous breach of faith at the dicta =
tion of the railroad bosses. One of the
most outspoken of these Republicans
in Santa Ana is John Beatty, a WELL
known merchant, formerly Of Yuba
county, who says he will vote for Bell,
and that he thinks the time has come
for all good Republicans to rebel
against the railroad rule in this state
He has discussed the matter with
many Republicans, and he is Of the
opinion that fully 200 Republican votes
will be cast for Bell in Orange county.

THE PRINTERS DEVIL

Why is the printers errand boy called
the printers devil'? A writer at the
end of the seventeenth century ex-
planned it thus: These boys in print
ing house commonly black and daub
themselves: when the workmen do
jocosely call them devils; and some
times SPIRITS, and sometimes flies" 1t
is related, however, that Aldo Manuzio,
the great Venetian printer of the fif-
teenth century, had a black slave boy,
who was popularly supposed to have
ccme from below. Accordingly he pub
lished a notice: II, Aldo Manuzio
printer to the doge, have this day made
public exposure Of the printers devil
All who think he is not flesh and blood
may come and pinch him."

HEADED FOR JAIL

In New York IIcarsts so-calied In.
dependence league has progressed as fai
as the grand jury and may reach the
inside Of Jail before election day
Hearst's chief lieutenants are charged
with attempts to extort money from
Democratic candidates. The matter Is
now before the grand Jury and criminal
Indictments are expected TO follow.
The most interesting feature OF this
revelation Of political piracy by
Hearst's black-fiaggers is the fact that
Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany boss,
Is the chief complainant That indl-
Gates rupture between Murphy and
Hearst that Is likely to take the con-
oeit out of the yellow Kid" as New
Yorkers call him. on election day.
Boss Murphy's charge, which has led
to criminal procedure by the district
attorney and the grand Jury. is that
many Of our candidates for congress
and the legislature have been ap-
preached by Representatives OF the In
dependence league and money has been
dema nded Of them" Murphy would
not make such a charge without the
evidence to back 1t. It Is not unlikely,
therefore, that an assorted lot Of
Hearst's henchmen may be literally
barred" from voting on November 8.
This disclosure indicates that Hearst
has struck the bottom Of his financial
resources. II his several barrels of in
berffod xrea1th bod NOT haCofl1a mere
slaves and hoops his henchmen would
not be driven to the desperate expedi-
ent of holding up Democratic candi-
dates with demands for money.
And what will become Of the "Yellow
XIX and his gubernatorial rainbow,
now that all his money barrels are
busted" The suckers who have
swarmed around him like flies about
molasses barrel will have no further
use for him. Hence it appears that
they already are returning to their for
mer criminal vocations, as indicated
by the complaints to the grand jury.

Independence league are reaching the
end of their tether in New York, as
they already have reached 1t in Califor-
MIA. The sane voters Of the Empire
State now perceive, as the voters of the
Golden State saw years ago. that W. R.
Hearst is merely freak in which all
the normal intellectually Of a man has
concentrated in an abnormal develop
ment OF self-conceit.

TO CULTIVATE a PRETTY Foo7

All feet may not be naturally small,
but all can be made to look small All
feet are not naturally slender, but all
can be made to look slender. And all
insteps can be made to look arched.
.e woman who wants to make her
foot look small should try to wear the
high heel. At first it will make her
muscles ache. But after few days
they will adjust themselves to the new
state of affairs. And the high heel will
be more comfortable than the low. 1t
will support the instep better.
There are women who cannot wear
high heels. And for them [ ere is not
very much hope. The feet will never
look very small unless indeed, they be
naturally little.
If you want your feet to look small,
you must buy yo rushoes very care
fully. Shoes ill-bought will look big
and ugly no matter how small they
may be. The woman who wears a
No A. shoe can, if she buys her shoes
correctly, make her feet look as though
they were clad in No. Is. And the
woman who wears a No. can make
her foot positively tiny. There is even
hope for the woman with the No. 6.
Don't settle down to a state of big
feet even IL yours happen to be large
says a dealer. Select shoes with low
vamps; wear your heels high and broad
and don't forget that pointed toes are
always good"
Crossing the knees is never permis-
sible unless one be of the very petite
type. The little girl of five feet one or
two, slender as a reed bird, and grace
full as little swawn, can cross her
knees and look pretty. But the tall girl
cannot do this.
Crossing the feet is apt to be pretty
If one does 1t prettily. 1t is a graceful
thing to stretch out ones feet so as TO
show the line of the skirt and to cross
the feet. This gives a very pretty pose.
and one that makes the feet seem
smaller.
Foet placed close together always
look smaller than feet that are
stretched wide apart. Feet PLACED at
right angles to each other look smaller
than feet that are placed side by Hide.
Feet prettiy posed in any position,
look smaller than feet carelessly lpsed
or awkwardly placed.
