Coming from the floor above there

HINT FOR LOS ANGELES

Prophecies about the early coming of
the millennium may be strengthened by
Chicago's determination to dispense
with about one thousand of its saloons.
But it appears to be an economic rather
than a moral wave that is sweeping
over Chicago. The financial situation
in that city is similar to the one pre-
sented in Los Angeles. Both cities are
long on demands for funds and short
on the wherewithal to meet the de-
mands.
BY the simple expedient of increasing
the figure for saloon licenses from $500
to $1,000, Chicago has accomplished a
duplex wonder. 1t has closed one thou
sand of its vilest groggeries and at the
same time secured enough additional
cash to add twelve hundred new men
to it's police force.
That was marvellous achievement
for Chicago, the city which so long
divided with San Francisco the distinc-
ton of widest openness." The liquor
interest and its allies made a desperate
fight against the doubling of the license
tax, but all for naught. There are in
timations, however, that proprietors of
the high class saloons are well pleased
with the reduction in number of the
lower grade, and covert support of the
innovation Is suspected.
This triumph for saloon restriction in
Chicago, and the general satisfaction
it seems to have given to nearly all
classes of the community, deserves con-
sideration in Los Angeles. This city is
suffering for lack of a sufficient police
force. Chicago has pointed the way
for compelling the saloons to supply
the requisite funds.

COAL STRIKE AVERTED

A few weeks ago general strike in
all the coal mines of the eastern states
seemed inevitable. Today the outlook
for long period of harmony between
miners and employers is brighter than
at any former period within recent
years. 1t is brighter than it was when
the anthracite coal strike was called
off as result of arbitration by Pres
ident Roosevelt's commission.
The basis of the present settlement
in the anthracite district is a contin-
uance Of the ruling made by the com
mission. The miners demanded higher
wages than they received under the
commissions award. together with
many minor concessions. All these de-
mands were met by Arm refusal on
the part Of the corporations. Finding
at last that 1t was hopeless TO presa
the demands farther. the miners have
agreed TO accept. for period Of three
years. the terms upon which they have

its wishes will be gratified, will sigh
for less than one who has very little.
"Do I fear such a course will make
nv children selfish? Never. My chill
dren do not know what selfishness
means. They will do anything for
each other and they would sacrifice
anything for their father or for me. :"
That the Rice children are kind
hearted could be seen by glimpse into
sunken Italian garden known as
'Marjorie's Animal Paradise" In this
SPOT 'Lolr' has a haven for lost dogs
and cats, and all winter an army of
strayed or sick animals found shelter
with this little princess.
Another decided policy of Mrs. Rice
in bringing up her children is that of
giving them unstinted praise.
81 am always most enthusiastic in
nv praise for their work or accom-
plishments," said Mrs. Rice. 1T en-
courages them and keeps them toned
up to their best efforts.
'I pity the children of the rich with
all nv heart The children of fairly
well-to-do parents have more mother
ly affection. / have been really the
head nurse of my home. l know the
temperature of their baths and the con-
ditions Of their sleeping apartments.
How can an ignorant girl fresh from
Europe decide on a question of ny
giene? How can we expect children to
develop under cheap nurses?

ment, either. What my children do,
they do for me. My eldest children

worked under the ruling Of the COM
mission.
Thus the danger Of suspension IN
the great coal industry, both bitumi-
nous and anthracite, appears to be eu-
tirely nverted. The bituminous miners
were practically allowed, by the In
6ianapolis convention, to make terms
locally In the middle states districts.
In come instances the miners secured
certain concessions and in others they
failed completely. But In all the dis
triots work has been resumed to the
full capacity and peace appears to be
assured for a long period.
