QUIT PEANUTTING

1t is fully expected that with the be-
ginning of this week the chastened and
repentant city council and the humbled
mayor will quit the peanut politics
which has characterized most of their
official conduct during the past month,
and that they will at once take up
the serious consideration of the city's
business.
Their first duty will be to agree
quickly upon the composition of the
board of public works. By reason of
their small intrigues they have tied up
all public improvements and effectively
checked the progress of Los Angeles.
They may be able to retrieve them
selves in public estimation if only they
will act promptly, tremendously and
with enthusiasm in all future efforts
to push forward the upbuilding of this
city. Before another week the new
board of public works should be in
office, actively engaged in gathering up
the lost lines of work which the coun-
ell has by its peanutting politics thrown
aside.
Their next duty should be to call off
that silly investigation of public library
affairs and proceed to do something
for the proper housing and care of that
supposedly great institution.
In short, there is much quick and
serious work cut out for the city coun-
ell if it would get back into popular
appreciation and public sympathy.

uscript, and even now a considerable
portion remains so. But gradually he
is coming into his own, and the true
greatness Of the man Is becoming evil
dent. Only lately his native land,
Sweden, has named high commission
to bring his scientific works to light
and put them into print Engineers
are adopting gratefully his mechanical
theories; anatomists are acknowledg-
ing the transcendent Importance Of his
deductions and philosophers are ad-
mitting that the conclusions he arrived
et nearly two centuries ago are as
correct as they were anticipatory.
In theology, the adoption Of Sweden
borg's work is much slower. Ills adj
mitted followers are comparatively few
and unimportant. But the generally
noted awakening among the churches,
the tendency toward a broadening of
view, brotherhood of members, and a
tolerance unknown fifty years ago may
a revision of creeds and a new align
ment of forces which he predicted, and
which may eventually lead to q greater
and more profound theology and a
deeper and more certain belief than
even the "higher critics" can evolve.
But the one point sought herein to
emphasize Is the willingness of this
man, whom the greatest admit was
their model and leader, quietly to do
his allotted work, peacefully to lay
down his pen and calmly to await the
coming of the day when his message
would be ready for an eager world.
That he was ahead of his time" all
agree. That that time, in many re-
spects, Is now upon us, is, among those
familiar with his magnificent works,
cause for congrdt dtulation not to the
memory OF the man himself. but to the
world in general. That he did his task
superbIy well, none deny. In these
respects, whether one agree with his
theories and deductions or not, his life
is lesson to every one who feels that
he has task, yet who hesitates for
fear his work will be lost on an unap-
preciative world.

PANAnA cANAL HooDoo


What hoodoo overhangs the Panama
canal, that every one Of note who comes
in contact with It is besmirched7 That
q hoodoo exists even the most prac-
tical and hard-headed seemingly must
admit, yet what is II, and how may 1t
be exercised?
The French, who FIRST undertook the
digging of this ditch, felt the malign
influences. Their financial efforts were
a national scandal, and the great DE
Lesseps, who built the Suez canal and
won an enduring fame, was so con-
taminated by the Panama rottenness
that he died Of the disgrace. The actual
work on the ditch by the French was
but an example of wastefulness, GRIM
inal incompetence and faulty effort. In
the end the whole mess became a fes-
tering sore and the nation was
only too glad to turn it over to the
United States and wash its hands of the
awful job.
we tackled it with high resolve and
much defamation of what we would
do. Our first step was to be robbed
financially by France; we bought n
gold brick, sight unseen" Then we
became at least particeps criminis in
n steal whereby friendly country lost
it's most valued domain and our power
prevented its reconquering. Our ap-
pointees to positions Of honor and abil-
lty proved recreant and our administra-
tion on the canal zone scandal and
disgrace. In sanitation, we failed; in
morals. we outraged the world; in work
done, we proved inferior even to the
derided French.
Wallace, our first chief engineer, re-
signed under conditions at least queer,
and Shonts, his successor, is now up
for investigation. The purchases of
supplies have been notoriously bad and
the financial administration has proved
rotten. while even the method OF build
ing the canal is as yet all unsettled.
And now Engineer Shonts admits that
while he has been receiving 100000
year from the United States he has
been drawing $4,000 from a railroad
as it's president, and that he has
been attending to it's business the while
he is on government pay! From a rail-
road-one of the very influences most
bitterly opposed to canal in any form!
The Republican party has boasted
much of what it would do with this
great work. So far its whole effort
has been to minimize the scandals it
has evolved and to smother actual
conditions. Men who have dared to
expose these things have been threat
ened with prison, while expensive press
agents have been employed to dissem-
mate tales favorable to the administra-
ton. And now the very head and front
of the whole canal forces is self con-
fessedly recreant to his trust, double
dealing with the United States and TAX
ing pay from the canals worst enemies
This is just about the limit.
That the Panama canal can be built
none denies. That this sort of pro-
cedure will not build it is equally patent.
What we need is a thorough cleaning
out of the whole outfit now holding
this great work in its rotten grasp,
from the double-dealng Shonts to the
negro women the United States has
imported there. Clean em all out, give
us a new, honest deal, break the hoo
doc and build that canal

VITALITY OF THE REDW0ODS

From the San Francisco Call.
An illustration of the wonderful vi
tality and reproductiveness Of the red
wood is reported from Ukiah as exist
ing in the forests of Mendocino coun-
ty. 1t consists of the trunk of q red
wood tree felled for the manufacture
of shingles, which, after lying on the
ground undisturbel for several months,
sprouted a number of young trees
whose roots had developed in its own
body.
Travellers through the coast forests
have frequently observed the phe-
nomenon of rows of well-deVeloped
trees growing out of the bodies of those
that have lain long enough on the
earth to perish and decay. Some years
ago a newspaper correspondent re-
ported a strange phenomenon OF new
redwood growth on a bridge built OF
redwood logs across Humboldt coun-
ty stream.
The sides of this bridge consisted of
two large redwoods, which had been
felled so that the ends rested in the
soil on each bank. All along the upper
side OF each log a row of sturdy red
wood saplings developed shortly after
the bridge had been finished.

TRAGEDY MADE WOMEN BLUSH
Package Found in Vestbule Contained
Paper Instead of Supposed
Dead Baby
Special to The Herald.


PITTSBURG, Jan. 2S.-"A crime has
been committed. Oh, won't you send
officers at once?" gasped pretty young
woman to Supt. John Glenn at the
Allegheny central station last night at
Q o'clock
"Yes, it's a baby-a dead one-done
up in a bundle" continued the maiden.
"It's in our vestibule, put there by a
woman The heartless thing! Oh,
please let the detectives come with me-"
Special officers M. j. Feeney and Rob-
the dark mystery. Later every officer
about the station was detailed on the
supposed case of infanticide.
The young woman led the officers a
lively chase to 914 Sandusky street.
When the sleuths reached the house
pandemonium reigned among number
of young women, for it was boarding
house.
There it u.s." said shivering stenog-
rapher. I'VE wouldn't touch it until
the police or the coroner viewed the
body. Oh, my, it's awful"
Patton carefully lifted the package,
which was done up carefully in news
papers and tied with heavy cord. He
placed the parcel on a piano stool in
the parlor. The excited women who
stood in the hallway closed the door and
waited. Every second was an hour to
them.
would they be witnesses at the in
quest? Sure thing. oh, what world,"
one young woman was overheard to
say, and she added: This is even
worse than a trunk murder mystery.
In the meantime Patton had cut the
cords from the bundle and then with
nervous hands began to remove the
paper covering.
"Rats!" said Patton, and then every
body shouted. The contents Of the
package consisted of lot of old paper,
among it being several cracker boxes.
"Come inside, ladies'" gravely said
Feeney. "This is no baby at all. Look
at the inscription on the box on top"
And they all looked. 1t simply read,
"Uneeda.'
The women all blushed and then left
the room.
1t developed that a woman in the
neighborhood who uses natural gas

her rubbish, and she simply threw the
refuse into the VeStibule of a neighboI.
