Echo Of the Christmas Eve smashup
at Second and Spring Streets,
the Harvey Girls Getting
Damages

Fay and Dorothy Harvey. the two
little heroines of the street car accl-
dent at Second and Spring streets on
Christmas eve, yesterday won enough
money to buy them dolles for a long
time when the attorneys for the Los
Angeles Railroad company settled the
suit against them in Judge Bord wells
department of the superior court and
gave little Fay $1500 and Dorothy 5000.
When the West Second street car.
refusing to heed the brakes, with full
speed ahead, dashed down the Second
street hill on the night Of December
"a, plunged into another car of the
same line and the two, leaping twenty
feet, overturned a Hollywood car, the
two little Harvey girls were on the
Hollywood car and were among the in
jured.
Both little girls had been out to visit
relatives at Hollywood and both were
preparing to have a good time Christ
mas. But their expectations of Santa
Claus were drowned in sudden whirr,
a crash like the explosion Of dynamite
and the tots were whirled over and
over and crushed beneath the wrecked
seats and splintered framework
The little ones were among the first
to be lifted out of the wrecked car and
both were very white and scared. Fay
could not stand, and examination
showed that her left leg had been frac-
tured.
1t was sad Christmas for the girls,
but the little present received by them
from the railroad company yesterday
will in a way atone for the pleasure
they missed at Christmas.
The children were represented by
their parents, who appeared in court

SHE REFUSED TO OBEY.
Demise of Woman Who Had the Old
Marriage Service
Revised.

Mrs. Sarah ]. Harper Starr of Belle
vue, was buried the other day in the
family mausoleum at Zelienople, Penn,
and a most wonderful life was ended,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mrs. STAIRS marriage in Cincinnati
on May %, 1S49, is of historical i'm
portance in ecclesiastical circles. Miss
Harper was 16 years old and had been
studying in college with view to
missionary life in foreign lands. DR..
Starr, a young physician, was studying
toward the same end and the couple
decided to wed.
Miss Harper had ideas of her own
on the question of the word "obey' in
the ritual Of the church, and decided
that for her it should be eliminated.
She found a friend in Rev. Maxwell
Gladdis, assistant pastor of Morris
chapel, Cincinnati, who promised to
omit the word during the ceremony,
and she was married, but friends were
inconsiderate enough to say the mar
fiage was invalid and at the next meet
ing of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, held in
Cincinnati, the clergyman who had
omitted the word was "churehed.
Finally the question became general,
and later, when decisive action was
taken, the sentence "serve and obey"
was ordered stricken out OF the matri-
monial ritual of the discipline of the
Methodist church

JAPAN NOW REACHING OUT.
Subsidies Steamship Lines to South
America to Obtain
Trade.

Consul Britain, of Kehl, Germany.
reports that according to a recent ar.
ticle in q German newspaper the JAP
anese government has recently grant
ed a subsidy to a Japanese-South
American steamship line, which plies
between Japan and Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentina. The object of this is to in
crease the imports of wool, flour and
wheat from Argentina, which products
are chiefly needed and desired fo1
Japan's army and marines. An Eng
lish newspaper also reports on sim.
lar matter and remarks:
''The scheme which has been under
consideration for some time for the
emigration of Japanese workmen to
Brazil and the creation for that pur-
pose of direct Japanese steamship
service to Santos and Rio Janeiro is
about to be realized. Two special
commissioners of the Japanese gov.
eminent are now examining on the
spot the proposal of establishing a
Japanese bank at Rio Janeiro."
The same English newspaper also
reports that "a syndicate of several
banks and commercial firms in Bremen
has, in connection with the shipping
firm of Horn, of Schleswig and Luz
beck, formed a new steamship COM
pany under the name of the Roland
line, to carry on a direct service be-
tween Bremen and the west coast OF
South America. The formal constitu-
ton of the new company will take
place In the course of this month"

The Ship !SubSIdy-SteaI.

The infamous steal on the people, the
old hoary headed ship subsidy bill, has
again passed the United States senate,
the test vote being SO to 81. Be it said
to the credit of the democrats, every
member of the body of that political
persuasion voted against the steal,
seconded by five republicans-Vernon
County Censor.
Well, what difference is there be-
tween this infamous steal on the peo-
pie" and the infamy involved in nearly
every other feature of protective
tariff or protective subsidy? The
whole protective" or subsidy" sys-
tenn is net work of "hoary headed"
robbery.
The disappearance of our shipping
from the foreign trade is largely due to
the outrageous and unnecessarily high
tariff inaugurated by the republican
party and maintained in defiance of
public condemnation. To this high
tariff policy and the high cost of
materials used in shipbuilding result
ing therefrom is chiefly due the fearful
decline in American shipping during
the past forty years.
During the last year of the Buchanan
administration the American merchant
marine reached the high tide of pros
perity, 1862. 62S tons of shipping being
under American registry in foreign
trade, while in 1908, American shipping
under registry had fallen to 1888, 776 tons
a shipping less by nearly 100000 tons
than we had in the foreign trade in
1910, almost century ago. Little
thanks to Senators Spooner and La
Toilette for voting against the passage
of this ''hoary headed steal while
they stand pat in support of every other
feature of the protective" tariff or
protective" subsidy system.

No Democratic Objection.

Why should any derocrat, if he is
really in earnest in his advocacy OF
these reforms, and not favoring them
simply as good things to get into
power on, object because the republi-
can party, rather than his own, is
making good use of them?-Lincoln
News.
No good democrat does object,
neighbor. Every good democrat re-
joices that, though it is usually a labor
of years, the democratic party can
generally count on being able to con-
vert honest republicans to its way of
thinking. Even though they are per-
mitted to do nothing more than blaze
the pathway along which numbering
and reluctant republican party must
eventually lead our nation to glory
and happiness, yet are all loyal demo-
Gratis proud and content with their
lot. Even then they would prefer to
march in the van and direct the ad-
vance of the great army of reform
than to ramble along in the rear with
the suffers and camp-followers who
grow fat and plethoric far from the
struggle and Nnger of the fray.
We.can do no better for the Lincoln
News than to cite it to this passage
from the admirable speech in which
Congressman Russell of Texas recently
advocated the passage of the rate bill !;
Not in a spirit of acrimony, but with
genuine hospitality, l want to say to
you, brethren over on the other side of
the aisle, that we democrats welcome
you to this democratic feast. We will
not even look askance at you when you
take the head of the table and proceed
to the carving We are content with
the reflection that, so far as we are con-
cerned, wherever the democratic Mac
gregor sits there is the head of the
table We take delight in seeing you
wear these democratic clothes, and l
must say that they fit you more becom-
ingly than any of the monopoly. trust,
and high tariff toggery with which you
have promenaded over the country for
a quarter of a century. But when you
come out of the dining hall and take
your seat on the front portico, and put
your feet up on the balustrade as
though you owned the premises, / do
want to remind you that you have not

Opposition Not Partisan,

In his story of the Jugurthine war
Sallust has wildly depicted the injustice
and corruption resulting from the sort
of Imperialism which the president is
practicing in Santo Domingo, and that
upon which he seems preparing to enter
on much larger scale in China. If
our Samsonian strength can be freely
invoked in arbitration of quarrels which
do not concern US there will be no lack
of corrupt foreign money to influence
the course of weak or corrupt men in
congress and in executive offices in
Washington.
Democratic senators are offering no
partisan opposition to the president in
this or any other matter. They are
supporting him solidly in his effort to
get an effective law for regulating
freight rates because his policy in this
particular has been approved in 'ad-
vance by three national platforms OF
their party. They oppose his course
with respect to Santo Domingo because
it is undemocratic and wrong.-Re.
