Il have here he said, taking a note
book from his pocket, "a list of English

A COSTLY EXPERIENCE

Now san Francisco Is fsurins up a
fresh element OF loss. Computations
covering losses by the earthquake tn,
fire and incidental matters have beer
cast aside for the time to allow the
making Of estimates on the cost of the
carmen's strike. It is said that "s4O0,-
600 is a conservative estimate of the
sum it has cost the United Railroads
TO break the strike" The figure Of
expense to the strikers, directly and
Indirectly Is not vet evidenced. but II
must aggregate a goodly sum. OF the
general loss TO the city report says;
"The strike has badly crippled business
and has cost the city s5,OooO00 through
loss of trade"
But the element Of greatest loss tc
san Francisco, as a consequence Of
the strike, is not computable. That is
the moral effect of the showing to the
world that San Franciscos business
life and the general prosperity of the
city are at the mercy Of men who have
the power to throttle its Industries al
will That effect, now operating in
worldwide scope, cannot be estimated
in dollars. 1t is equivalent to an ad-
ditional warning that San Francisco's
geological faults are not the greatest
obstacles to its future progress.
The event proved that the strike
was absolutely unwarranted and mex
cusable The first step toward 1T was
the breaking of an honorable obligation
namely, the compact requiring arbi-
tration Of points in dispute between EN-
ployers and workers, as enioined by the
constitution of the national organiza-
tion of street railway employees.
And then, note especially the spec.
tacle of a great city almost paralyzed
because a group of workers violated
both their obligations to their employ
ers and the rules of their national body.
The issue in the direct cause of the
strike. therefore, was really between
the local Garments union and the ma
tional associat tion of which the loca
body was a branch.
Such a situa tion would be simply
ridiculous if 1t did not involve such
momentous consequences. But it is ir
keeping with the record Of San Fran
ciscos clashes between employers and
workers. That city has won the un-
enviable reputa tion of being veritable
storm center of industrial agitation, to
such an extent, in fact, that agi-
tation has become almost a normal
condition.

THn PEOPLES CONVENTION

The eyes of the whole state are
focused on Sacramento this week The
Democratic convention meets there to-
morrow to nominate a state ticket;
and the people Of California at large
are intensely interested in the body's
labors.
The disgust Of California over the
machine-rallroad-R Republican agsresa-
tion Of puppets named in Santa Cruz
recently Is most profound. The decent
Republicans themselves are loudest in
their denunclatlon of the bunch. They
are vindictively aroused against Boss
Herrin, Boss Parker and Chief Boss
Abe Ruef, the San Francisco Dictator
"the foremost Republican of the
state" They are indignant because
this triumvirate drew UP slate before
the alleged convention met and then
rammed IL down the delegates throats.
This ticket, everyone knows, represents
nothing and nobody but the railroad
machine. No one looks upon II with
more gusto than does a decent, free and
independent Republican.
But for relief, the Republicans look
In vain to their own party. It. so far
as it's working parts are concerned, is
carried around in the vest pockets of
the precious three-Parker, Herrin and
Ruef They own and run 1t abso-
lutely.
But the Democratic party is un-
ha mpered by boss, dictator or machine.
It's delegates go to Sacramento un-
chained, not led like sore-headed bears
and made to dance on hot grill, but
uninstructed and free to select the very
best men available for the several state
offices. They owe allegiance only to
the people at large who named them.
They have no slate: no machine will
pull the wires and make them dance;
nc cheap CRATER boss from San Fran
cisco will order their procedure They
will do as they think best in the light
given Them and the ticket they name
will be their own choice.
We'll may the unhampered voters of
the state at large repose trust and con-
fidence in the convention of this week.
They know already that its work will
be worthy of their highest praise. The
Democrats. who named the delegates,
are wholly satisfied with them. The
Republicans who are disgusted with
the railroad ticket know that no such
tag will be attached to Sacramento
nominee. And the independent voter
is fully aware that the coming conven-
ton will answer every demand that he
may make upon it.
1t will truly be a convention of the
people and for the people, in every
sense of the word.

EAT MORE HONEY

Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate Of foods, should be eaten
more than it is" said a cooking ex-
pert. Bought in the comb, it is bound
to be unadulterated, and this pure
honey will keep it's friends free from
sore threat and bronchial troubles.

six years ago, l took to eating honey.
My doctor tells me he often recon-
mends honey, with excellent results,
for diseases of the throat.
Honey is excellent to use instead Of
sugar for sweetening cakes. It gives
the cakes a most delightful flavor. It
Is also excellent, in place of butter, on
hot biscuit, on toast, and on buckwheat
cakes.
Il know number of ladies who use
honey as cosmetic. They apply It
to the skin, rub it in well, then wash
1t off with hot water. The result is "a

OWL CARS STARTED

The starting tonight of the first owl
cars Los Angeles ever had brings to a
conclusion the active campaign which
The Herald has waged for several
months. Naturally The Herald takes
much pride in the success of its efforts
and considerable delight at seeing the
cars in actual opera tion, the more so as,
several times in the past, other papers
have fought the same battle and have
failed miserably to achieve any results.
Owl car service as now installed is
not yet perfect; such things never are
until practice makes them so. The
service extends only to a. M, and
thus fails to provide for the very men
who did most to bring it about-the late
newspaper workers. 1t covers only a
part of the city system and extends to
only one suburb-Pasadena.
The Herald recognizes the limitations
of the system as now devised fully; it
has done so all along. But at the same
time The Herald also realizes that a
stupendous step forward has been taken
in securing; the service as now outlined.
While it does not cover all lines, it
still is so scheduled as to extend to
every part of the city. spreading out
over it like a gigantic web Not every
man has an owl car passing his own
door, but no one residing within Los
Angeles proper need walk more than a
very few blocks to reach his home,
even though he remain downtown till
2 a. m. Thus by far the larger ma jority
are cared for adequately by the service
now offered.
The serious defect in the present sys-
tenn is the lack of service to the beaches
and the suburbs Immediately adjacent
to the city, especially on the northwest
these regions, except to Long Beach,
and doubtless a car will be run there
shortly. The other points are on the
Los Angeles-Pacific system, and it is
up to the council to bestir itself and
secure from the Hartman Clark-Sher-
man road a similar concession to that
granted by Mr.. Huntington. Late cars
to Hollywood, Colegrove and the
beaches would take a vast horde of
homeseekers out that way and would
be fine investment in the way Of in
creased traffic for the line named.
But The Herald this morning, in
priding itself on the actual tangible
results in the starting tonight OF its
owl cars is not in a carping mood. 1t
prefers to thank the gods for the gifts
so far vouchsafed, even while it
pledges the people that it will continue
to work for the perfection of the sys-
tenn till it is as complete as any man
could ask.
Meanwhile, here are the owl cars;

rRAPPING A BURGLAR

While a Paris architect named M.
George was sitting in his office he heard
a knock at the door, but as he desired
to be alone he took no notice and went
on with his work
A few minutes later he heard a key
moving in the lock, so. not doubling
that his visitor was a burglar, the
architect armed himself with a re-
volver and hid behind some curtains.
A moment later the burglar entered
and proceeded to rife the room. Then
suddenly he started and grew pale. In
a mirror he had seen a revolver leveled
at his head from behind the curtains.
"Open the window ordered the arch
itect, land shout police The burglar
had no alternative but to obey and was
speedily arrested.

THREATENING FLOOD

The immigrant arrives an artleSS, un-
civilized, pious. good hearted peasant,
with a disposition toward submissive
industry and rude effectual moral
habits. America, it is alleged, makes
a man of him. 1t seems to me that all
too often she makes an infuriated
toiler Of him, tempts him with dollars
and speeds him up with competition,
hardens him, coarsens his manners,
and, worst crime of all, lures and
forces him to sell his children into toll.
The home of the immigrant In America
looks to me worse than the home he
came from in Italy. 1t is Just as dirty,
1t Is far less simple and beautiful, the
food is no more wholesome, the moral
atmosphere far less wholesome; and,
as a consequence, the child of the i'm
migrant is a worse man than his
father.
These people are not only half civil
lized and ignorant, but they have in
fected the white population about them
with a kindred ignorance. For there
can be no doubt that II an Englishman
or Scotchman of the year 1900 were to
return to earth and seek his most
retrograde and decivilized descendants,
he would find them at last among the
white and colored population south of
Washington. And 1 have a foreboding
that in this mixed mood Of workers
that pours into America by the million
today, in this torrent of ignorance,
against which that heroic being, the
sohoolmarIn, battles at present all un-
aided by men, there is to be found the
possibility of another dreadful separa-
tion Of class and kind, a separation
perhaps not so profound but far more
universal one sees the possibility of a
rich Industrial and mercantile aris-
tocracy of western European origin,
dominating a darker-haired. darker
eyed, uneducated proletariat from
central and eastern Europe. The immi-
grants are being given votes, 1 know,
but that does not free them, II only
enslaves the country. The negroes
were given votes.
That is the quality Of the danger as
see IL. But before this indigestion OF
immigrants becomes an incurable sick
ness OF the states many things may
happen There is every sign, as 1 have
said, that a great awakening, a great
disiluslonment, is going on in the
American mind. The Americans have
become suddenly self-critlcal, are hot
with an unwonted fever for reform
and constructive effort. This swamp
ing Of the country may yet he checked
