LOS ANGELES

HHE stable nature of the prosperity
that makes Los Angeles the peer
IL of any metropolis in the world,
unlike many others, is not confined to
any single line of business, as of man
ufactures, or agriculture, or COM
merce, or citrus fruits, or deciduous
fruits, but to a combination of all of
them, and the added and greater cause,
climatic and geographical conditions
unsurpassed anywhere.
Orange blossoms in December and
ripe strawberries in January are inn
possible in any city of metropolitan
proportions in America save here in
Los Angeles, and when is added the re-
markable showing of fat dividends
from all sources the whole year round
it is just cause for all sensible men to
leave the haunts of tuberculosis and
deadly fevers in the east and come
among us to enjoy life.
The cosmopolitan makeup of Los An
geles residents. possible only because
Of the tribute she has called from all
lands, and all parts of this land, is one
of her greatest factors in business sue
cess. We have the financial brains Of
Paris, Berlin, London and New York;
the legal power of men who imbibed
Blackstone in his native country and of
those who learned him in our own
great schools; painters and sculptors
from every cline; architects and en-
gineers with mental tribute from the
learned world; pedagogues and legal
practitioners from all over the world,
and yeomanry of labor culled from
every country under the sun.
These far-fetched forces of empire
meet and mingle here, and the outcome
is land of law and order, reeking with
natural opportunity; given color and
form by men of worldwide experience
and conducted on the broad plan of
equal rights to all and special priv

AS result financial conditions, that

no lurking fear Of labor. and labor is
as well paid here as anywhere in the

A BIRDS PECULIAR NEST

There is preserved in the Museum of
Natural History of Soleure, in Switzer-
land birds nest made of steel A pair
of wagtails had built a nest near the
town of Soleure,- and clockmaker who
had to- pass along a road near the nest
noticed something peculiar in its con-
struction. He stopped one day and ex-
amined 1t, and much to his establishment
found it made entirely of steel. 1t was
more than four inches across AS Soleure
contains several clockmaking shops, and
the windows of these shops are frequently
left open. the natural supposition is that
the birds gathered up the thin spiral
shavings of steel and built their nest.
The ingenious way in which these strands
of steel are made to fit into one another
and woven so completely is marvellous
when the birds trifling bit of strength is
considered. A birds nest is often an In
dication of its surroundings, as in the case
Of city sparrow's nest. which is made of
strings, bits of cotton, wisps of straw and
hay, toothpicks, cloth, the hair of horses
and such llany.-Philadelphia Rec

Thirty telegraphers left Boston on
one train to go to work for the Cana
dian Pacific railway. About fifty of
the men on strike in Los Angeles have
found employment elsewhere. Tele-
graph officials admit there was a short
age of men before the strike. but say
they have plenty of workers now, and
that business is normal. Their former
employees declare the business has
fallen off 80 per cent, and what few
kilograms are filed are seriously de-
layed. Evidently somebody is taking
great liberties with the truth.

LEARN TO PLAY

MT AZURE has given us many posi-
tives and negatives. It has given
us the ability to work hard and
it has given us the ability to play hard.
Work while you work and play while
you play The man who is successful
is the man who works hard during the
business hours and then goes home and
leaves his office behind him and then
takes up play.
A man should devote a part of each
day to recreation, to outdoor exercise
and to frivolity and frolicking with his
children at home. If he does not care
to play, worry will take the place Of
play.
Worry and hard work together will
kill a man. Work and play will make
him live.
No two things can occupy the same
space at the same moment. These
brains OF ours are always busy, and we
should be careful what we give them
to act upon.
If we work hard all day the tendency
is that in the evening the brain re-
views INC tninSs That nave Deen gong
through it during the day. A review
Of these thoughts produces worry,
especially if our occupation has not been
to our liking.
If we devote ourselves to play then
worry and brain rack will be absent all
the time we are playing. Play was
made to rest the brain.
You will sleep better if you have in
dulged in recreation. and your mind
will be clearer next morning.

POWERFUL ARRAIGNMENT

me of the most effective commen-
taries on the existing tariff in
Fiction on the people is found In
tariff creed" PRONUNCIATION by the
National Association of Manufacturers
a body of business men representing
l5.0Oo,000.000 OF Industrial capital, and
published in the current number of its
organ, American Industries.
Among other things the creed recites:
We believe that the tariff should be
taken out of politics once for all,
treated as a business proposition, made
just to all parties thereto-the people
OF the United States as whole-placed
upon sane scientific basis, in hands
competent to treat it intelligently.
without favoritism, and thoroughly to
accomplish the purpose of protection
without Injustice"
Here is bunch of solar plexus blows
for the "standpatters' and all who ever
advocated the present monstrosity
called tariff laws. 1t should be borne
In mind that the men who stand spon-
sor for this ''creed" a.e mainly Repub-
lican in politics and never would have
"squealed" but for the terrific pressure
the robber law puts on their business.
II the subject should be taken out
of politics. then 1t follows it is in
politics, Roosevelt, Shaw, Taft and
others to the contrary notwithstand-
ing; If it should be treated as busi-
ness proposition" it is fair to claim it is
not now so treated, and who shall ques-
tion this great aggregation of business
men? II 1t is to be made .just to all
parties" it must now be unjust and
that is the gravamen of our complaint
against it. If it is to be placed upon a
sane and scientific basis it must be
evident to all that 1t is not now upon
such a basis, and who will question the
dire necessity of at once placing It
there? If it is not now in '.hands COM
petent to treat it intelligently" 1t GER
tainly should be, and no men are better
Judges of its present manipulators
than the members of the National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers. If favor
itism' is being used, and the National
Association of Manufacturers says it
is, ought 1t not to be discontinued? If
we have not protection without in
Justice ought we not to have it?
These are nuts for ''standpatters''
and those who would revise the tariff
iaws-after the election-to crack, and
make excellent reading for the vast
army of Democrats and disgusted Re-
publicans who seek immediate and
efficient relief from the robber tariff
and it's exactions.
Sane men OF all parties know that
the central mass of the Republican
party is composed of those who would
"stand pat" on all these crying evils
no sane man, also. doubts their ex-
istence-and that to do so endangers
our national standing at home and
abroad, and that the only relief must
come from new deal in the political
game that shall put the champions of
revision and pure Democracy in power
and bring the nation back to the peo-
pie again.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers simply reiterates the cry of
the Democratic party and the thou
sands of men in other parties who see
the danger and the only way out of it.

MOTHER MAGIC

III days of childhood. now long lapsed and
dim,
Often 1 sat within a holy place
Where mystic word and solemn rolling hymn
Touched the tranced souls of men to thoughts
of grace.
Too small to comprehend. yet happy there
fingered, since beside me. close and dear.
Sat the sweet mother with her rippled hair,
Her smile Of angels and her color clear
And she would hold my hand, and so express,
In some deep way, the wonder OF the hour;
Our spirits talked, by silent tenderness,
AS easily as flower mods to flower.
A nd TO this day, when creep alone
Into some sacred corner, list the choir
Hear some great organs most meldoious moan
And watch the windows fish daylight with
fire,
Over me once again those memories steal;
sit as in a dream, and understand
Gods meaning; for, across the years, feel
The meek, sure magic Of that spirit hand.
Richard Burton in Atlantic Monthly.

NEW JURY LAW.

| TN HE pending graft trials and those
to come have quickened with new
Il life the dormant desire in the pub
lie mind for general change In our
jury system. The law requires abso-
Lutte unanimity of agreement to render
verdict, and the court carefully in
structs the men that they are the
judges of the credibility of witnesses,
which latter fact causes a conscientious
man to hesitate and to be easily talked
out of conviction, and verdict is
frequently reached, through compro-
mise, which, under a two-third rule,
would be gained as right.
When the electoral college meets to
formally cast the presidential vote only
a majority of one is required to deter
mine the grave subject of who shall be
president of the United States, and yet
IL requires a unanimous vote to convict
professional thief or cold blooded
murderer In the recent Doodle trial,
or Glass case, there can be no doubt
that two-third rule would have con-
victed the defendant and the Schmitz
case would have been decided in ten
minutes.
Ina the case of President Andrew
johnson. impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors, one vote saved him, as
one vote less would have convicted
him. while four or five votes caused
the jury to hang in the Glass case and
saddle additional expense upon the
county.
In cases of great moment, wherein
money is made to play an important
part--sub rosa tits true, but effective
nevertheless-one man may be easily
or he may be stubborn,
or care nothing for his oath. or, from
a multitude of possible chance causes,
differ from his fellows, and all the time,
labor and expense of the trial are
wasted. and guilty men are led to flout
the law and continue in their criminal
ways because of the easy and simple
task Of influencing one of the jury.
That our jury law places this power in
the keeping of one man, as against
eleven, is deplorable. Surely the oaths
and convictions of two-thirds, or ten
Or eleven men, should be sufficient to
establish guilt in any case known to
the law.
The law in Scotland calls for a jury |
Of fifteen, and a majority of these |
men cast the verdict, and it is final. |
The effect on criminals is patent in the |
history of that country, and it is de- |
cided check on crime. We have no
good reason for changing the number
Of jury, but every reason in sense
md justice for changing from unan-
NOUS to a majority vote of two-thirds
or more.
Let it be known that our next legis-
ature has passed such law, and the
heck on petty law breaking will be
at once, for it is the consen-
'us of police opinion that the hope of
influencing one or more jurors is the
of majority of professional
criminals.
Such law can work no hardships, |
rs it will affect all alike and could be |
extended to cover civil procedure and |
be an excellent power to unload
dockets.
