A BADLY ABUSED CEREAL

From Country Life.
The rice that comes on the American
table looks mushy; the grains seem all
mashed together instead of being dis
tinct and large. The trouble (some-
times due to the cooking) is usually
explained by the statement that our
rice is of inferior quality, though there
is no better rice in the world than our
Louisiana and Texas article; the grains
are large, firm and nutty. The fact is.
our public won't buy any rice unless
the grains shine and glisten. Conse-
quently the first thing the miller does
is to put his rice crop through course
of polishing by which the covering of
the kernel is rubbed off, and at the
same time the most nutritive part.
The result is that he gets a beautiful.
almost sparkling grain, which sells
well, but inasmuch as the covering
has been removed the grains when
cooked lose their identity and become
a mush. polished rice" is a peculiar
ity of America. The public can procure
the unpublished rice If they will insist
on the grocer getting it for them, for
polishing is an extra process which
the miller will be glad to abandon.

MORE HOTELS NEEDED

Los Angeles needs more hotels. The
supply is not equal to the demand.
Every hostery in the city is crowded
now, and the opening of another huge
one within a few days will scarcely re-
lieve the pressure, while another great
one is still so far from completion that
it will not serve to help out this season.
Even the shacks on the hill, dangerous
as some are declared to be by the fire
chief are perforce crowded for lack of
other place to stay.
This condition prevails not alone dur
ing the so-called tourist" season.

case last year, it will be more and
more so in the present one, because the
visitors promise in 1906 to be more
numerous than ever before. In fact
tourist travel to Los Angeles is only
in its incipiency.,
And Los Angeles owes a certain
duty to these visitors, who come here
at her bidding, to share her incom-
parable climate, beauties and business
advantages. She must at least be pre-
pared to house and care for them wher
they come OF amusements, she offers

travel and beach resort Her visitors
will have plenty to do in this line, and
little complaint to make. But they
must have rooms in which to sleep and
rest, and places in which to eat. And
even now, these are frequently harG

Build more hotels! The city demand:

AN ERMINE TAINTED

Justice ]. NJ Deuel. of the New York
court of special sessions was accused
by a weekly paper of having salaried
position with another certain scandal
monger issued in that city, the which
is contrary to the law. Justice deuel.
thereupon sued the accusing editor and
on trial this editor was triumphantly
acquitted. This, as well as the testi-
mony in the trial, firmly established
the fact that Justice Deuel. did accept
a salary for certain services rendered
this scandal-monger weekly, though
he thereby violated his oath Of office
and the law he swore to uphold
At the conclusion of the trial there
was a loud and general demand that
Justice Deuel. cease to insult the law
by resigning his position on the bench.
Common decency would seemingly have
induced him to do this, of his own voli-
tion. and that action was awaited.
When It did not come the public spoke
it's mind.
Now comes Justice Deuel. and de-
clares that he will not resign. AT no
time have l contemplated doing So" he
says.
The judiciary is the nations bull
wark; Its last reliance. After an ap-
peal to the courts nothing remains.
The judiciary therefore must be above
suspicion. When it is besmirched there
can be no doubt that the people hold
it rightly in contempt.
The presence of Justice Deuel. on the
bench of New York after his virtual
conviction of venality and violation of
law is scandal and a disgrace The
state stultiies itself every hour that
it permits his continuance. If the
doubled dealing jurist won't get out of
his own accord he should be propelled
from the woolsack on the business
end of a good stout boot.

TRUANT BOYS TO BE WHIPPED
Officer Declares FIoggng Is More
Effective Than Juvenile
Court
Special 10 The Herald.


KANSAS CITY, Feb. S.-Robert
school district, Wyandotte county, has
established whipping post for truants
and incorrgible boys. He has just
whipped four boys, ranging in age from
Q to 10 years, for breaking into gro
Gerry store in Rosedale.
Mr.. Page says that hereafter he will
use the whip instead of resorting to the
juvenile court, which disposes of Grim
inals under 10 years old. The probate
judge presides over this court He says
the juvenile court in Wyandotte county
acts too slowly and does not accomplish
the desired results.
The boys who were whipped are;
James and Earl Ogle, sons of John
Ogle; Jacob Smith, son of William
Smith, laborer, and George Graham,
whose parents live in Southeast Rose
dale. The ogle boys and Smith are ell.
rolled at the Columbian school and
Graham is a pupil at the Wetmore
school. The fathers OF all four were
present and permitted Mr. Page to whip
them. Mr. Page laid them across a
table in the city hall and whipped them
with a leather strap.
Mr.. Page says he will not hereafter
take boy into the juvenile court ex-
cept In extreme cases. He said: II
intend to take the law into my own
hands from now on and punish incorrig-
ible boys, as l think they ought to be
punished promptly. The law says they
shall go before Judge Freeman in the
juvenile court, but this court does MOTH
ing but parole them, and when the pa
roles are violated it does nothing more
Several months ago / took Clarence
Strong, IA years old, into the juvenile
court on very bad case He was sem
fenced to one year in the state reform
school at Topeka, but was paroled.
Young Strong soon violated his parole"

yet acclaim Nance O'Neil as one of the

But these things must be--else our star
prove but a rushlight. fIckering only
now and then into brilliancy and daz-
zling radiance.
For some things she did here last
week Nance O'Neil deserves sincerest

condemnation. This is but a poor sum-
mary, as one man sees things-but may
it help Nance ONeil to come into her
own and win the place God has made

MILLIONS IN CAMERAS
From the Worlds Work.

From the Worlds Work.
Thirty years ago a camera was a
rarity The enthusiast who possessed
one carried a mountain Of traps afield
and smothered In a tent during his
tedious manipulation of the wet plates
Last year the United States alone made
100000 cameras, working with the mere
pressure of bulb or button, and the
Photographic business reached the re-
spectacle commercial total Of $40 900,
900. Such figures, too, do not even hint
at the true extension of this use of the
SUMS aid In obtaining exact copies OF
anything the eye can see. If one were
to tell an ordinary business man that
photography has a more pervading In
fiuence on his daily life than any other
one discovery of which we have am au-
thentic record, he would probably be
highly incredulous. Yet II Is an undis-
putable fact.

It is interesting to note that of the

and that's what it means every month
