Fathers of ys-Refuse

Frank Kelley, John Powell and Wal
ter McMurrin, aged II, II and 13 years,
were arrested early yesterday morning
on suspicion and sent to the detention
home. When taken to the police station
the boys claimed they had come out
here for the purpose of riding horses at
Ascot race track and said they were
employed by several of the biggest
horse owners at present in the city,
The story of the boys was .discredited,
and when taken to the detention home
the lads were recognized as boys who
had beat their way to this city from
Salt Lake City several weeks ago. At
that time they were arrested and sent
to the detention home but because of
their honest appearances and promises
that they would find work they were
paroled.
When recognized yesterday the police
telegraphed the parents and guardians
of the boys who live in Salt Lake City.
A message was also sent to the chief
of police in that city. The parents did
not reply. The chief answered that
the parents refused to send money to
pay their fare from here to Salt Lake
City. The boys will be hello in the de-
tention home and an investigation
made relative to their parents atti-

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF

The house leader on the Democratic
side, John Sharp Williams, took occa-
sion in debate recently to outline the
party's views on proper tariff legisla-
ticn. The Democrats, said he, would
divide the products Of other countries
into three classes-necessities, comforts
and luxuries. on the last named, IN
which he included diamonds, jewelry
and other such articles. he would put
rate up to the smuggling point
on comforts, he would assess a mod
crate tariff, while necessities would be
assessed almost nominally, with the
more important and those not pro-
duced in the United States, admitted
free.
This is the Democratic doctrine OF
tariff. It is one that is equable. just,
favoring all and discriminating against
none. 1t gives the poor man a chance
to enjoy the necessities of life at their
lowest price; to secure the comforts of
the day at moderate rates. 1t puts the
burden of the tax-for all tariff is a
tax-on the luxuries which the rich
indulge in and on which they are we'll
able to pay literally Thus those best
able-and usually most reluctant-to
contribute to the expense of govern
ment are compelled to do so, while
those who can least afford the tax pay
the lowest rates.
How is it at present? Under the
Dingley tariff which is so iniquitous
that even it's sponsors decry and are
ashamed of it, the most necessary ar
ticles of ordinary consumption are the
most burdened with the tax, while the
rich mans luxuries come in under the
lowest rates. AS a consequence, in the
very essentials of existence-beef, oil,
COAL salt, steel and the like-we have
colossal trusts, which under the very
unjust tariff schedules now prevail
ing are enabled to build up huge and
grinding monopolies, to squeeze the
American public to the limit of en-
durance. and actually so to fatten on
our own people as to enable them to
sell in foreign countries at lower rates,
freight included, than they obtain
here.
That this is wrong goes without say
ing That the Republican party is re-
sponsible for this condition is equally
plain. Wherein is the remedy? Ger
tainly not in that party; it has al
ready declared it's satisfa ction with
present rotten conditions
The people must turn to the Demo-
Gratis for relief. The Democrats have
announced their plans, and they are
plain, easily understood, fair and
clean. Let the party proclaim these
principles as it's platform for 1908, and
its success will be assured.

VENICE CARNIVAL
ATTRACTS CROWD
MANY PLEASURE SEEKERS AT
MIDWAY OPENING
Daylight Fireworks Is Feature Of
Afternoon-Ten Big Attractions
Are All Well Patron-
lied

The actual opening Of the Midway
Plaisance at Venice took place at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, drawing the
greatest crowd ever seen at Los An
geles beach in the winter time. 1t Is
estimated that from $4,000 and 10000
people went down the Midway" dur
ing the afternoon and evening. Con-
trary to popular predictions, every show
on the Midway, from "Chiquita's" thea
ter at one end to the moving picture
performance at the other end, was open
and did rushing business.
Fair Japan" Y. Kushibikfs attrac-
tion, was the only feature that pre-
sented an unfinished appearance.
During the afternoon a display OF
daylight fireworks was given. 1t was
the first time that an exhibition of this
kind of fireworks has been seen In
Southern California, and the crowd was
delighted with the novelty. The dis
play was under the management of Mr..
Kushibki, being distinctively a Japan
ese idea. For more than an hour the
spectators watched the explosion of
bombs, hundreds of feet in the air, and
out of the peculiar smoke clouds issued
gorgeous banners, flags, fans and para
soils, the forms of animals and men and
women, and many other shapes, gro
tesque and gaudy. These forms, being
made of japanese paper Inflated with
air. 1oated gracefully away with the
breeze.
Crowds Enjoy Fireworks
At night there was a beautiful pyro-
technic entertainment, and for the first
time the full force of Venice"s magnifi-
cent illumination was turned on, 10000
electric light globes being used. From
the rigging of the ship hotel Cabrillo
down Windward avenue to the farther
end of the Midway, including the big
bathing pavilian, the Venetian gardens,
the new exposition buildings and many
other structures, Venice was ablaze
with lights.
All the afternoon several big camels
from the Streets of Cairo production
carried people up and down the open
plaza between the Midway buildings
and the bathing lake, and for the first
time Venice heard the calls of the spiel
ers in front of shows such as have
grown familiar to the exposition-going
public.
The Venice Midway has ten big shows
installed more substantially than were
the attractions at the st. Louis and
Portland eXpositions. From now on the
Midway will be open every day and
evening, and from time to time entirely
new attra ctions are to be added. One
of these, just being arranged for, is a
scenic railway, one of the longest in the
world, to be built by Thompson, the
well known expert in that line, at cost
of about 100000.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Some time ago
George Ade made a promise to w. d.

the great American public, and espe-

care for my efforts in that direction.
They like slang better"
But while you are wasting your en-
deavors on this foolish form of liter
ature," persisted Mr.. Howells, you
might be doing some thoroughly good
and lasting work, Good writing Is not
thing of mushroom growth, and, of
course, slang under no condition is
good writing"
Then Ade promised the veteran nov
elist that he would quit writing slang
as soon as he could afford 1t.

BETTER A TERRITORY

Arizona wants statehood. The great
territory has reached that point in its
career when it faces its destiny Passing
through the period of imma turity, of
formative growth, of settlement, it
now stands at the door of statehood
| and knocks for admission among its
| sisters.
! Congress hears this knock, and listens.
| Then congress-the big, the Republican
end of it-sees a chance to play peanut
politics, a temptation Republicans can
seldom resist, and it picks up the Ari-
zona statehood issue and proceeds to
make medicine" out of it.
Arizona, as a state, with its present
limits, would be one of the largest in
the galaxy. New Mexico, on it's east,
fully as large, is also pressing for
statehood, but not so strongly, not being
so fully prepared. The Republicans
find that by combining these two huge
territories they can make one state
safely aligned with their own party,
Separately each is doubtful"
Hence, the Republicans declare, like
it or not, fit or unfit, similar or dis
similar, the two territories must unite
and form one big, unwieldy state, with
out common interest, homogeniety or
mutual desire, so that two more Repub-
licans may represent it in the senate.
Il is n deliberate political plan to force
the interested people into a distasteful
, union disastrous to their present and
damaging to their future.
So Arizona rebels. And we'll it may.
Nothing worse for either territory could
be conceived than union with the other.
Two more dissimilar communities it
would be hard to find in the country.
New Mexico is essentially a Spanish
American region; the former tongue is
generally spoken there; Arizona is
American to the core. The latter is up
to date, aggressive, progressive; the
| former is backward lives in the atmos-
phere of the past and is somnolent and
content. Their linking together would
be a crime to each.
