CLEAN cRossWALKs

Los Angeles Is very much in need,
right now, Of a brigade Of crossing
cleaners. These men should be en-
listed under the street department, and
II should be their only duty to clear the
crossings in the residence districts Of
the mud that the heavy rains bank up
on them. With unpaved streets, or
even oiled ones. where there are wood
en- crosswalks, some such arrange
ment as this is necessary.
Los Angeles has to put UP with some
pretty bad streets in some parts, be-
cause of the rains. In the larger part
of the year when there is no dampness,
an earthen road is ideal for residence
districts. 1t Is noiseless, and IL sprink-
led, It is dustlessl It is inexpensive and
natural. But in muddy weather-of
which we have plenty in the rainy sea-
son-an unimproved roadway, unless
the crosswalks are kept clean, is abom-
Unable. And, unfortunately, just at this
season, when these roads are at their
worst, is when the tourists are here,
and the city should appear at it's best.
Manifestly, with its wondrous
growth, 1t is impossible for Los Ange-
les to pave or even to oil it's thorough
fares as fast as people build out on
them; it is far behind in this respect,
as it is in every other. But it could
at least make it's walks passable, and
at small cost, too. A small gang of men
with shovels, who go from one street
intersection to another, could cover
much territory in a day, and leave
clean crossings everywhere in their
wake.
This suggestion is respectfully made
to the new administration, which takes
charge today. 1t would be a popular
move, If carried out in good faith.

NO, BETTER NOT!

The career and the reputation of an
officer of the navy of the United States
should never be subjected to the hu-
NOR or the mistaken action of the ten
ant of the White House, whoever he
may be. AS ground for the neces-
sity of this monstrous power the presi-
dent adduces the solitary case of an
officer of marines who, in his view,
should have been condemned to dis
missal from the service, but who es-
capped for want of legal proofs. Hun
dreds of innocent officers must there
fore be put in jeopardy because one
guilty officer escapes punishment. AL
though miscarriages of justice are only
too frequent in the criminal courts, it
has never been suggested that the ex-
ecutive of a state shall have power
to correct the errors of a jury. But
President Roosevelt demands such an
extension of his own power as will
enable him to dismiss an officer when
a court-martial can find no proof of
his guilt, or when he is not even
charged with an offense. 1t is enough
that the president deems him "un-
worthy There is no reason to fear
that congress will be subservient
enough to obey the demand for this
monstrous change Rec

HLooD-LETTlNe FOR LockJAw

A patient who entered st. Johns hos
pital, Long Island City, on October s.
TO be treated for lockjaw, was dis
charged yesterday as cured, after
treatment which it was said at the
hospital contained one experimental
feature-that of blood-letting.
Richard Miller of t33 Flushing avenue,
Long Island City. the patient stepped
on a rusty nail in building in which
he was employed as a carpenter. At
breakfast on October 5, he found he
was unable to force his Jaws further
apart than an inch. He was taken to
st. Johns hospital and soon after his
admission his muscles assumed the
rigidity peculiar to the disease. The
antitoxin treatment was tried without
apparent result.
On October 8 DR.. j. b. Calvin. chief
house surgeon, bled the patient in the
right arm. 4Ifter that the mans inn
provement was steady.
1t was said at the spital that the
blood-letting had been resorted to to
reduce the increased blood pressure due
to the squeezing of blood from the con-
tracted muscles. No sovereign virtues
were ascribed to the expedient but II
was hoped that the results of this case
might be borne out by subsequent
cases. The disease i'm this instance hav-
ing developed within a week after in
fection, would ordinarily be regarded
as incurable.-New York Times.

This Is q midwinter menu. II can be
varied by working out all sorts OF
canned goods and In the summer II Is
possible to have a meal that Is In no
respect canned. There are hothouses In
Dawson. and during the early summer
for so cents extra few leaves OF let
tuce or half dozen frail looking spring
onions will be added, The vegetables In
Dawson not maturing until the end OF
July.
The fish are delicious, and people
often refuse the roast and take a large
portion of fish instead. This accounts
for the waiter asking: VIII you have
starter or an order of fish2"
Beer costs 81 a bottle, and cham
payne is s12 per quart. As a special
with dinner pint OF inferior white
wine may be had for $3.50.
Clothing Is likewise expensive. A
tailor made gown which sells every
where else for $40 brings s100 in Daw-
son. The lingerie waist costs its wearer
in Dawson from $40 to $15, and s5 hats
are eagerly bought for five times that
amount.
Freight Rates High
Reading matter Is on par with every
thing else in price. Ten-cent magazines
sell for 25 cents and in winter readily
sell for 80 cents. The 25-cent variety
four times their price In winter.
The cause of this is not the rapacity
Of the merchant, but the cost of trans
portation. All goods are sent by boat
to SkaEway from either Seattle or
Vancouver-nearly 1000 miles-after
which they are loaded on cars of the
White Horse railroad and another liz
miles are covered to White Horse.
When one takes into consideration that
hn YoN Nr,,nt 90 r-Ot tlxxFnU W
cost $S,000,000 it Is not surprising that
freight rates are so high. At White
Horse the goods are loaded on scows
and freighted down the river to Daw-
son City, another 420 miles. In winter
these goods are sent from White Horse
over the ice, and the freight rate from
that point alone is 20 cents per pound.
The family which is fortunate enough
to possess a cook pays well for the
privilege-sometimes as high as 500
per month, with board and room. A
woman who comes in to prepare din
ner and sets the house in order re-
ceives $50 to $40 per month, while the
ordinary scrub woman commands SO
per day.
Keeping warm in winter Is another
expensive necessity. Wood is used for
fuel, and last winter it cost $67 to heat
small cottage for six months. There
is no place in the world which has a
wider range of temperature than Daw-
son. In winter the mercury drops as
low as 20 degrees below zero. In mid
summer the temperature often goes as
high as los, but the nights are always
cool. Dawson is many miles from the
gold fields and stage routes are MAIN
tained to the various creeks.
Travelling in this way is reasonable
when it is known that it costs SO per
day to keep horse and each stage
has from four to six horses. Dawson
cannot be classed among the gay cities
of the world. The men who have been
successful reserve their hilarity until
Trey reach Seattle, London or New
York

ANTIPODAL HEALTH SEEKERS

From "India's coral strand or there
about, British army officers, broken in
health will be sent to Southern Cali
fornia to recuperate. This provision
will be on scale so extensive as to re-
quire special station for the purpose,
to be supplied by the British govern
ment.
The unique feature thus noticed is ex-
pected to result from an inspection now
in progress, as reported from Redlands,
by Maj. Charles S. Duer of the British
army, who comes from Rangoon, India
This officer, who is accompanied by his
wife, is in the eastern part of San Ber-
nardino valley making an exhaustive
examination of all conditions pertaining
to the purpose noted He is charged
with the duty of selecting a suitable
location for 1.-The establishment of re-
Operative station for broken down and
sick army officers and attaches from
the various stations in India"
Maj. Duer explains, as reported by
the Redlands Review, that the climate
in India is so severe upon army officers
from Great Britain that hundreds are
stricken every year with fever Con-
valescence is difficult in the trying cli-
matte conditions of India, and it is
necessary to remove the patients to
some other country in order to promote
recovery. England is not suitable for
the purpose because of the rigorous
winters and the prevalence of fogs.
Hence the purpose to seek the best OBJ
tainable location abroad, which purpose
resulted in sending Maj. Duer to the
land of sunshine"
AS stated by the Redlands newspaper,
"Ir their investigation of different
places news of the virtues of Southern
California climate reached the colonial
war office, and so they dispatched Maj.
Duer to investigate. He and his wife
are very enthusiastic over what they
have seen, and from present indications
will recommend that q station for the
treatment of conValescents be estab-
lished here. Just what point they will
decide upon they do not themselves
know at present, but from what they
think of Redlands it is safe to say that
this place has a fair chance to secure
the station"
This incident shows that the fame of
Southern California's ideal climate is
reaching to the uttermost ends of the
earth" The coming of health seekers
is no longer confined to the eastern
states and Canada, Many of that class
are here from Europe, from South and
Central American republics and even
from more remote countries.
al and no trust can monopolize our
glorious, health-giving climate.

NEED NOT APPLY

If any supporters Of the non-partisan
movement had an ulterior object in
view their expectations are likely to be
blasted. Zeal in behalf of the cause on
election day will not be exchangeable
for favors when official positions are
ready to be handed out. That will be
an innovation in political custom in Los
Angeles, but it will have the approval
of the public and it should be made
an established precedent.
| It Is understood that the non-partisan
leaders have adopted an inflexible rule
to the effect that they will not indorse
any applicant for position under non
partisan official. 1t will be futile. there
fore, for an aspirant to expect any aid
of that character.
The decision is admirable from every
point of view. 1t is consistent, in the
first place. with the basic idea of non
partisanship in municipal affairs. Per-
haps the worst feature of machine poll
tics is that which foists incompetent or
otherwise Objectionable persons into
public offices by virtue of influences that
are more potent than capability and
character. Los Angeles has had sick
ening experience for many years with
that phase of machine politics.
Without Endorsement by influential
leaders an aspirant for official place
must depend on his own qualifications,
and without such equipment he will not
go far in his quest. The chief official
of a department, also, is left with free
hand to fill the positions at his disposal
with the fittest men available, feeling
that the sole responsibility for his sub
ordinates rests upon his own shoulders.
1t is understood that many applica-
tions have been made to the non-par-
tisan leaders in the municipal CAM
paign seeking Endorsement for places
under incoming non-partisan officials.
The rule of absolute non-interference
was established at the outset, and on
it many hopes have been wrecked.
1t is pleasing to note this consistent
attitude of the non-partisans because
the first test of anti-machine methods
in control of local offices is about to be
made. The people have a right to ex-
pect the highest possible efficiency in
the offices won by the non-partisan
effort. Upon the fulflment of that ex-
recitation, or the reverse, will depend
largely the success or failure of non
partisanism in future elections.

NOT A FREH.PAss QUESTION

In the legislation by congress and the
subsequent rulings by the interstate
commerce commission to abrogate.
abolish and prevent discrimination in
railway freight and passenger rates It
happened that the right of newspapers
to contract for advertising in exchange
for transportation was utterly denied
and is being refused recognition.
The Herald. in common with all met
ropolitan newspapers, is emphatically
in favor of wiping out the pass system,
Newspaper men have no more right
than other men to travel on railroads
free, and both congress and the COM
mission were and are correct in provid-
ing that all passes be abolished. The
Herald goes even further, and hopes
that the legislature of each state will
enact q law prohibiting free passes to
any person or class of persons what
ever in the railway business in the
state.
But denial of the right of newspa-
pers and railroads to contract for the
exchange of commodities is another and
an entirely different question. 1t is a
denial of the right of contract II a
railroad should need a carload of coal
and the manager of coal mine should
have need to travel on that railroad
a distance equaling in cost the coal in
cash, and at the market price of both
the coal and the ticket, what discrimi-
nation could possibly be found in the
exchange of that coal for the transpor-
tation of the coal manager to his de-
sired destination? If farmer should
have a wagon load of potatoes, valued
at $10 for instance, and the railroad
should have need of those potatoes and
the farmer should have need to travel
$40 worth over the line of said railroad,
why should not the railroad have pow
er to contract for an interchange of
transportation and potatoes at the pub
lie price of both commodities?
These conditions exactly describe the
situation with respect to the inter-
change of advertising for railroad
transportation. There can be no IA
voritism. The railroad contracts with
the newspaper at it's highest card rates
and the railroad pays at the highest
public price of transportation-if 1t
should happen to have more than one
price There is absolutely no exchange
of courtesies on either side. 1t Is a
purely business transaction, "cent per
cent" and value received. The system
merely obviates the handling of cash
and permits both parties to pay in
labor for that which each is OCCASION
ally compelled to have.
That's all there is to it. and the sem
ators and members from California
should vote and work for the bills
one by Senator Stone of Missouri, in
the senate, and one by Mr.. Garrett of
Tennessee, in the house-providing that
nothing in the law shall be interpreted
to prohibit such contracts between the
railroads and the newspapers.
