Roll all pieces Of wrapping paper
not good enough for further use that
are usually thrown into the fire into
hard, tight balls. These will help
along wonderfully in the kindling
basket for the mornings fire.
A piece of soda the size of a pea

1t looks as though "Marssn Henry
Watterson were right. Gov. Hughes
of New York is looking up as n Repub-
lican presidential possibility. People
who have watched the trend of events
say chat the public utilities bill in the
New York Legislature is going to make
his fame nationally, whether it passes
or whether it is defeated. If it passes,
it will give him prestige as having
won fight for the people against al
most prohibitive odds, and if it does
not pass, the governor will be consider
ed martyr to corrupt machine poll
ties and probably will be able to bring
the whole of the New York delegation
to the convention with him. The Pres
ident has not made any move toward
giving him his support, but if the oc-
casion demands it, there is little doubt
that the support will be forthcoming.

President Roosevelt has appointed
commission to prepare a comprehensive
plan to utilize the Waterways and to
connect them by canals, and i. is now
holding its meetings in Washington.
The transportation question is para
mount at present, and an air route, it is
thought by some, will some time be
added to the old methods by land and
water. In our grandfathers' time "a
six mule team made plenty of steam.n
Now steam locomotives and electric
cars have failed to meet the resources
of our prolific harvest fields, factories,
forests and mines. The cry is still give
us more roads and improve our water
ways. Curiously enough, on the day
that the Presidents Commission met,
Professor Graham Bell, who is now in
London, gave out an interview, if half
of which is true, we may expect sue
cessful aerial travel. In this interview,
he said that the problem of flight had
been solved, and that in five years we
should be crossing the Atlantic at the
rate of two hundred miles an hour.
Prof. Bell invented the telephone, but
is probably optimistic and mistaken on
this air ship question. At any rate,
most of us prefer that some future gem
Grafton of our wife's relatives shall at
tempt the Atlantic in these flying ma
chimes. We have all the risk we care
to incur in present methods of trans
portation.

WHOLESALE LIQUOR ZONE

The city council deserves public
thanks and an expression of apprecia-
ton for having established, by ordi-
nance, yesterday a wholesale liquor
zone co-extensive and coordinate with
the retail liquor zone.
This will effectually put stop to the
crude opening of wholesale shops and
wineries in the residence sections for
the sale of liquor in the smallest possi-
BILE package allowed by law. Moreover,
it removes from business where now To-
Gated the many wineries that "smell to
heaven" and are an offense to various
neighborhoods outside the zone.
1t was alleged last night that Mayor
Harper hesitates about signing the or
dinance. He has his own views, Of
course, and is entitled to them, but if
he desires to reflect the will and wish
of the whole people on this subject he
will approve the ordinance without
amendment
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-09

mere thought Of immunity for him Is
too much for public patience.
Only by exemplary punishment for
its official traitors can San Francisco
hope to stamp out official corruption.
The plan of leaving the felonious and
traltorous mayor and supervisors in
control OF the city's affairs and Of
granting lenieney to the infamous Ruef
would be a plunder akin to that Of the
man in the scriptural parable who
built his house upon the sand"
Get the men higher up If possible,
but not wholly to the escape of those
lower down, who are equally culpable.

KEEPS OFFICIALS
OUT OF CONTRACTS
CITY ATTORNEY MAKES OLD
LAW EFFECTIVE
induces Council to Prescribe Punlsh-
ments When Municipal Employees
Are Interested In Selling
to the City

City Attorney Hewitt yesterday
shouldered on the city council the re-
sponsibility Cor going after its own
members and employees who are inter-
ested in contracts.
Under existing laws the absence of
a penal clause has made prosecutions
useless, but this will not be the case
hereafter since the council voted
favorably on his recommendations, and
prescribed penalties.
Mr.. Hewitt spoke as follows:
II wish to call your attention to
provision of the charter which, in my
opinion, requires legislation by the
council to make it effective.
"The provision is as follows:
No councilman or any other city
officer shall be interested, directly or
indirectly, in any contract to which the
city is a party, or made by any officer
Of the city in behalf of the city. Any
violation of this section shall be mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof,
besides the penalties that may be i'm
posed by a court of competent jurisdic-
tion, the council shall declare the office
vacant; and any person convicted of a
violation of this section shall be forever
disqualified from holding any Office
under this charter
No Penalty Prescribed
"It will be noted that no penalty is
prescribed in the first instance for a
violation of this section of the charter,
and that the council is not empowered
to remove any offending official until
after conviction.
"In my opinion the provision quoted
Is Intellectual because it does not appear
that the penalties that may be imposed
by court of competent jurisdiction for
the offense stated have ever been pre-
scribed by ordinance or by law.
1.-THE general laws of the state do not
supply the deficiency, in my opinion,
and therefore recommend that, in view
OF the fact that 1t is manifestly proper
that the intent of the charter be car
ried out in this particular so that it may
be applied whenever occasion may re-
quire proceedings Hereunder, I pre-
sent herewith draft of an ordinance
making it a misdemeanor for my city
officer to be interested in any contract
with the city, and prescribing the
penalties for the violation thereof. I
recommend that this ordinance be
adopted
After some debate the council fixed
the penalty at $500 fine or six months
in the county Jail or both.

DEATH-TRAP BRIDGES

Los Angeles has outgrown the pueblo
style of ramshackle river bridges or
bridges constructed on a level with rail-
way crossings to save expense Of the
viaduct plan.
No other progressive city on earth,
even aproximating Los Angeles in
metropolitan character, would tolerate
such bridge building as is witnessed
here. Much less would any other such
city seriously consider the saving of
some paltry dollars by bridge building
calculated to be constant menace to
life by railway casualties.
The new bridges for which general
provision has been made should be con-
structed with reference not only to
present needs and conditions but to
those of the future as we'll. Such
modern steel bridges as are seen in all
eastern cities of any pretension are
good for decades of usefulness. Aside
from the question of civic effect it is
absurd to argue that Los Angeles must
put up with unsightly and dangerous
structures for economic reasons.
And in view of the extraordinary
record of railway casualties in Los An
geles the community should not permit,
on any pretense whatever the construc-
ton of such a death trap as has been
designed for the river crossing at
Seventh street. The proposition that
the bridge should be erected at railway
grade crossing for the sake of economy,
or because that would suit the con-
venience of truckmen and single rail-
way company, is intolerable.
Again harken to the warning of for
mer Secretary Shaw of the federal
treasury department to the people of
Los Angeles: Build for the future
build big"
And do not build either public eye
sores or railway death traps.

a PALPABLE BLUNDER

There seems to be danger that the
prosecution in the San Francisco graft
cases will aim too high and thus over
shoot the mark
we are after the men higher up" is
the often reiterated declaration of the
prosecutors. In line with that policy
as averred, the whole board of San
Francisco supervisors, eighteen in
number, were given immunity from
punishment for self-confessed graft of
the most Infamous character. The an
nouncement of that act of leniency
was a public surprise, Notwithstanding
the assurance that it was necessary in
order to bring down the higher game.
But public surprise over the immu-
nifty granted to the supervisorial felons
gives place to utter amazement at the
plan now disclosed by the prosecution
for reaching the high perch grafters.
1t is nothing less than an offer to Ruef
as reported, of mere pretense of pun
ishment for his crimes on condition
that he reveal all he knows about
grating in San Francisco.
1t is said that sin the attempt of the
prosecution to induce Ruef to incul-
pate his associates in Doodle, the sew
enty times accused prisoner has been
offered immunity 50 closely approach
ing clean bill of health that his term
of Imprisonment, which the prosecution
is said to have agreed to arrange with
the courts was to have been limited to
two years."
And 1T is understood, also, that either
complete immunity or the next thing
to it has been offered to Mayor Schmitz
on like terms.
The Herald does not question the in
tentions of the prosecution in this
extraordinary procedure, but it most
decidedly questions the judgment mani
tested therein.
The course Of the prosecution in this
respect is based on a palpable miscon-
ception Of the main purpose in the war
fare against municipal graft in San
Francisco. The mistake lies in the as
sumption that it is pre-eminently i'm
portant to punish the graft givers and
that in order to accomplish that pur-
pose it is expedient to grant immu-
nifty to the graft receivers.
Both the givers and the takers Of
such Doodle deserve the limit of terms
in state prison. But it needs little
reflection to convince the thoughtful
mind that if there is any difference in
the culpability of the San Francisco
graft giyers and receivers the greater
weight rests upon the latter.
For this reason: The mayor and the
supervisors Of San Francisco were the
recipients Of a distinct public trust
when the voters elected them. They
were sworn to protect public interests
in return for the distinguished mark
Of popular confidence. And in betray-
ing that trust they not only committed
an atrocious felony but they also trail
torously betrayed the people and COM
mitted perjury by breaking their oaths.
AS for Ruef. political boss Of San
Francisco but not public official. the

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
OF THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL

The public schools of Los Angeles
will celebrate the anniversary of the
founding of The Hague peace tribunal.
DR.. e. C. Moore, superintendent of city
schools, recommended at last night S
meeting of the board of education that
half an hour be set aside May II for
exercises in the schools. His recon-
mendation was as wollows:
TT is customary for the schools of
some of the states to commemorate the
founding of the world court of arbitra-
ton at The Hague on May 1S, 1899;
and as such exercises make powerfully
for the spread Of the peace sentiment,
we recommend that half hour be set
apart for this purpose in the schools
Of Los Angeles, on the approaching
18th of May as the anniversary of
that event falls on Saturday this year."
