NO WAR WORRY

May the United States shift part of
its navy from the eastern to the west
ern coast without first obtaining. the
consent of Japan?
That appears to be the salient ques-
ton lying at the bottom of the hubbuh
raised by the Japanese jingoes. Our
officials of the navy department declare
that the proposed dispatch Of battleshir
to the Pacific side of the continent has
no significance beyond practice and
fleet on this coast has been advocated
for years as a matter of wise precau-
ton, and the order should have been
given long ago.
If the time has come when the Yam
kee nation must kotow to Japan in the
manner indicated by the Japanese
jingoes the sooner we meet the issue the
better for all interests concerned.
But, as The Herald has declared fire.
quently since the beginning of friction
between the Yankees of the occident
and the orient respectively, there is
no cause for fear of war between the
two countries. The statesmen of Japan
understand that the causes of griev-
ance at San Francisco are too trivial
to disturb the friendly relations that
have existed ever since the United
States introduced Japan to the family
of enlightened nations.
The governments of the two nations
will settle the questions at issue with
out regard to the ranting of japanese
jingoes or the stay-at-home warriors
of our own country. The sane people
of Japan, as well as the mikado and
his government, have not so soon for
gotten the feeling of gratitude inspired
by the almost universal sympathy man.
Tested for Japan by the American peo-
pie throughout the war between Japan
and Russia.
There need be no uneasiness here in
California concerning the possibility of
war. Even in the remote contingency
of such result the theater of operations
would be in the Philippines, perhaps
extending to the Hawaiian islands.
Japan would not seriously consider the
thought of initiating Russia by send
ing fleet thousands of miles away to
attack a much stronger adversary in
home waters.
The equanimity of California is not
in the slightest danger of disturbance
by "wars or rumors of wars" The
growing of the Japanese ctanticleer is
amusing, not terrifying. The sensible
people of Japan know that it would be
suicidal for their country to precipi-
tate war with the United States, and
they will not seriously entertain such
thought.

AN ANCIENT TRADE UNION

Unlike the trade unions of today, the
Company of Pewterers of olden times
was composed of the masters only; and
disobedience of the rules was punished
with a vigor far exceeding anything of
the kind at the present day. The laws
were made for the protection of the gen
eral public, and not for the workinSman
alone; consequently the articles turned out
by a master pewterer and bearing his
touch" had to be up to a given stan
dard of excellence. Before a man could
set up as master pewterer, he was
obliged to serve an apprenticeship or
about six years, after which he had to
produce his ESSAY pieces under certain
test conditions; and only after these
pieces had been approved by the authors
ties of the craft was he allowed his
freedom and permitted to register his
private touch" at the company's hall
and set up as a master pewterer
The company was not content merely
to pass upon the work of craftsman
but came very near regulating the minor
details of his life. The penalty was very
heavy for employing a helper who had
not served regular apprenticeship, and
any master so daring as to employ for
eigner was fined ten pounds, and all ar
ticles made by him were confiscated; the
object being to keep the trade secrets
from spreading.-The Circle.

TO RID THE LAWN OF WEEDS

Several bome-owners have asked how
lawns can be kept free from weeds.
The onlv entirely satisfactory way IS
nv milling up or cutting off the Weeus
as thew appear. There are l1quld ap-
plications advertised for destroylns
weeds but 1t stands to reason that any /,
thing powerful enough to affect Weeu
must be equally harmful to the grass
The only way in which such an appli-
cation could be used safely and erect

TRANSIT EXTENSION

An incident in the proceedings Of the
city council at it's last meeting fur
nished cause for the agitation of
chronic kickers against city railway
extension. t
Property owners and residents inter-
ested in the projected extension of the
Ninth street railway westward on the
line of Tenth street induced Mr.. Hunt
ington to give the desired order. At
the instance of some residents on the
line of the proposed extension, however,
the city council interpolated in the fran
chise a condition that school children
should be allowed half fare on the line
from o'clock in the morning until in
the evening.
On all present lines of city railway
the half rate school period begins at
o'clock, and Mr.. Huntington declined to
accept the Z o'clock condition. A hold
up of the Tenth street extension was
the result, and the matter came up
finally at the last meeting of the coun-
Gill; The need of the extended railway
was So ODNlOuS THAT the COuHCll DIT OllCc
voted, unanimously, to strike out the
requirement for the Z o'clock half rate
for school children.
That action was sufficient cause for a
howl from the chronic kickers, made
public through dyspeptic evening
newspaper, to the tune of Hunting
tons minions in the council" But the
Tenth street railway will be con-
structed at once, fine residence Sec
ton will be made available by transit
facilities and large increase in the
assessed value of property will accrue
to the city.
The East Seventh street railway is
another enterprise that is going right
ahead now after many vicissitudes.
This work is to be pushed to compile
ton simultaneously with the building OF
the Seventh street bridge. 1t is ex-
pected that the line will be opened to
the eastern city limits before the end
of the present year.
The necessity for railway expansion
in Los Angeles is forcing construction
in spite of all obstacles.

PLEA FOR TEACHERS

In his remarkable paper read before
the N. e. A. teachers Bishop Conaty
said, among other interesting things:
TRAINED in the methods of others a
teacher is apt to become mere ma
chine, a simple automaton at the teach
ers desk, a wooden teacher with some
one else's apology for a teacher. The
teacher should aim to be himself; nc
one can ever successfully be any one
else. Imitators are on the stage, hey
are out of place behind the teachers
chair. The teacher needs to guard
himself from fads and hobbies and
avoid the folly of adopting INFESTED
Theories
In view of the alternating storms and
Gains in local school administration
this statement, coming from man who
has national reputation as a success
full teacher, must have challenged at
tention.
Our teaching force is, largely, from
the middle class, and women predom-
mate. There is need in the home ex-
chequer, and mother stints herself to
carry the daughter through the normal
studies, that she may teach, and thus
help the family. In her passage
through the studies she inbibes mod
ern pedagogy, as it is known here, with
all it's iridescent but useless excres-
cences, and having sunk her individu-
atty and power of initiative she is
ready to take a class. Her every move
ment is mapped out, much as if she
had so many automatons in charge,
and when the woman in her rebels at
school board tactics and she would
essay the arts of love and Kind words,
she comes under the ban Of the powers
and in time is glad to end her chosen
profession to avoid turmoil.
School ma'ams and matrimony are
held to be convertible terms, and often
it is the case that a purposeful young
woman, devoted to her profession and
giving her best forces to its upbuilding
finding her efforts unappreciated-if
not wholly condemned-quits the ranks
of teachers for the duties of domestic
life, leaving a vacancy to be intermit-
tently filled, till we have come TO eager
desire to throttle pedagogy and go back
to individuality and common sense.
A national force so powerful as the
National Educational association may
not find time, just now, to assimilate the
pregnant sentences quoted, and pave the
way for revival of time honored meth
DDS, yet it is certain that public opinion
would hail such action with indorse'
ment and applause.

TWO NEW COUNTIES

Southern California is expected to
add two counties to the present num-
Der in the state, when the necessary
formalities are completed. The state
now has fifty-seven counties.
San Diego reports that August has
been fixed upon as the date for an
election at which the Imperial valley
forming a new county" The requisite
affirmative vote is said to be assured.
The name of the valley will be the
name of the new county. San Diego
will lose about half its area by the
division and about 1000 of it's popula-
ton, leaving to the parent count. about.
10000 inhabitants. Imperial county will
set up in business for itself with an
assessed valuation of about 100000,
yielding revenue of perhaps 100000.
The other county now in the embry-
onic stage will be named San Antonio,
as indicated by the general preference
of people concerned. This aspirant
hopes to materialize by taking large
slices of territory from Los Angeles and
San Bernardino counties. A hot con-
test is in progress now among residents
of the districts included in the new
county plan.
Pomona has been for several years
ambitious to become the seat of a new
county and it's more progressive citi-
zens have been working zealously
toward that end. The name Pomona
would be both euphonious and sugges-
tive for the proposed county, but the
discerning promoters of the project
probably thought it prudent not to pro-
ject their preference. AS one of them
remarked at a county booming mass
meeting in Azusa last Tuesday night:
1.-THE name of the new county and the
location of the county seat are second
airy matters" That statement evidently
was intended for publication, not for
home consumption in Pomona.
California has several counties that
would bear division. Many states with
less than one-third the area of Cali
fornia have a greater number of coun-
ties. Our big neighbor, Texas, has 206
counties in it's total area of 265,780
square miles, as against California's
fifty-seven counties in 158,360 square
miles.
