shall not presume to say. There is
one thing, however, about which there
should not be any discussion-and
that is the right of the government to
interfere when determinations, re-
bates and exorbitant prices prevail.
All corporations are the children of
the government-exist by it's permits
sion. A government of the people, by
the people and for the people never
can allow any corporation to be indie
pendent of it's control. One thing,
then, is gained by this rate bill-and
that is the recognition of this right.
If the bill in question is defective and
does injustice to transportation COM
panies or to the people, such defects

can be remedied by future legislation.
But one thing should never be given
up and never will be-and that is the
right of the government to intervene
and see that justice is rendered both
to the people and the corporations.
Two years ago the people in south
western Iowa could not ship their ap-
pies into Nebraska, but few miles
away, as cheaply as apples could be
shipped from New York fifteen hun
dred miles away. This was owing to
combinations among the railroads.
Somebody must have the power to
break such a combination. The rate
bill will do that and such an action
will be right.

ISOCTETY SHOCKED BY DOINGS
OF FIVE OF ITS YOUNG BUDS

the secluded quarters of the hostess
and her fond mamma. There was a
cannonade of the popping of Budweiser
corks and the "liquid joy" began to
produce high and cheerful spirits, which
was the sole purpose of the party.
Crates of Turkish and Egyptian
cigarettes disappeared rapidly. Pass
ersby stopped several times at the
doorway to warn the proprietor of the
apartment house that his place was
about to be destroyed by flames and
the occupants threatened with a hor-
rible death.
But as the door was opened the odor
of the hazy fumes told the tale and
the many would-be heroes quietly
wended their way.

the fair participants yesterday after
noon. And we'll she might indulge in

From the vicinity Of West Seventh
and South Figueroa streets sounds of
midnight revelries still are heard. The
odor of long-eXtinct Turkish and Cairo
blades reach the nostrils of the passer-
by and the sound of the popping of
Budweiser corks strikes upon the sem
sitive eardrums. With the music of the
once spasmodically delighted night
comes a warning wall:
Beware, beware of the 'slumbering

K. v. REDPATH is SECRETARY
Chosen by Directors of Driving
Club to Succeed A. w.
Bruner

At a. meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Los Angeles Driving club
yesterday X. V. Redpath was elected
as secretary, to succeed A. w.
Bruner, because of his contemplated
absence from the city, together with
number of personal business enter
prises demanding his undivided atten-
tion, found it impossible to continue to
act. The office of the club will again
be located in the Times building, and
with the knowledge gained by Mr.. Red
path in a previous administration of
the secretaryship, the prospect for a
year of successful matinees is ex-
tremely good.
Announcements are being sent out
for a matinee to be given at Agricul-
tural park on the afternoon of st. Pat
rick's day, March II. 1t is antici-
pated that there will be numerous en-
tries of the best horses in the city, and
a large attendance is hoped for. A
number of novelty races will be in
cluded in the racing program, and an
afternoon of keen enjoyment will be
given to lovers of horse flesh.

reply. Plass said he considered every
Sunday a legitimate day for drunken

led him to drive his wife from the
house, and he was in court because of
this. He promised to be good and the

Great Reviver of Spirits

As a stimulant after n period of
"slowness" it is uneXcelled. 1t was
owing to Just such a drought that it
was discovered and was planned for
the sole purpose of filling the young
women with high and unusually cheer
full spirits. Indeed. say the young wo-
men. a humorist has been engaged to
describe the manner of procedure and
make it up into neat little book as
an annex to the "Los Angeles Blue
Book.
SO far as age is concerned, there are
no qualifications. 1t was merely a CO.
incidence that the ages of the young
society buds ranged from eighteen to
twenty-five years. The ages of the
mammas can only be conjectured. But
it is safe to say they once were younger
and were desirouS of recalling the girl
hood days when they took up the pro-
mitigation of the "slumbering party"
But, to the qualifications.
So far as can be determined. an
india rubber stomach is the chief quail
ifiication. OF course there also must be
an unstnted ambition to become a
thoroughbred Jolly good fellow" Fur
thermore, there must be pair, or per-
haps better. three nice large. roomy
lungs, a good larynX and n fondness
for Cairo blades. With these one may
at once proceed with the game.
Any other details must of necessity
be withheld at this time. but the fol-
lowing are facts that created a small
sized feminine riot the night of Feb.

Exhibition Fails

Exhibition Fails
The intended exhibition by Bert Ding
lev in Whistling Billy for try at the
worlds record came to naught after
the first mile, which was reeled off in
.5S 4-5. 1t was announced that Ding
ley would endeavor to break the five
mile record on the slippery track. The
White started off with a business-like
air, but drew up at the half of the sec
ond mile, the track proving unfit for
fast driving.
The next race was a special three
mile motor cycle contest, i'm which five
of the two-wheelers entered. Risden
finished first in easy fashion, followed
by Hull and Gould. Down the stretch,
with the appearance of huge toads, the
riders whirled three times, but Risden
had little difficulty in rolling in by him
self.
Though not on the list of events for
the day, the Garbutt greyhound was
brought out for trial at the five-mile
record, though the steady drizzle put
the course into sloppy condition. Pear
son went the five rounds and in the
fourth mile, which according to the of
fetal tim. was so 2-5, broke the anna
teur record for mile, which at 56 3-5
was made by the late Frank Croker

ENTERTAIN WITH A SLUMBER'
ING PARTY
Form of Amusement That Proves tc
Be Far More ExhiIarating Than
Its Name Would ln-
dictate

Los Angeles society women have
been greatly shocked and as a result
still are gasping for breath over
new form of winter nights amusement
introduced in this "City of Angels

ciety buds and two fond mammas.
The name of this new social STUNT
is "slumbering party" SO great a hit
did it make at it's initial trial Qn
fashionable apartment house not more
than 100 miles from West Seventh and
South Figuera streets) that it promises
to become far more popular than any
thing yet produced by the fertile gray
matter of the inventors of "Fads and
Fancies."
The details of the game of "slumber-
ing party" as told by one of the young
social buds, are burlesque on the title
itself. AS the different stages of the
game are reached the effects on the
participants are said to be extremely
