WHERE HE DREW THE LINE

Arthur Herkimer, the Missouri his
torian, told at dinner in st. Louis a
story about the famous governor,
Charles F. Jackson.
Jackson" he said, married, one
after another, five sisters. The thing
is incredible but 1t is a fact
when for the fifth time Claiborne
Jackson broached the marital propo-
sition to his father-in-law the old man
was 80 and quite deaf. This is the
conversation that ensued:
want Lizzie
'Hey?
81 want you to give me Elizabeth ,
oh, you want me to give you Eliz-
abeth, do you? What for?'
For my wife,.
For your wife?'

oh, yes, l hear you. You needn't
rouse the neighborhood.'
Well, do you consents?
Yes, you can have her. You've got
'em all now, my boy. But for goodness
sake, If anything happens to that
poor misguided girl don't come back
here and ask me for the old woman {"

BUT SHE GOT rHRoueH

The lady in hurry came dashing to
the gate at the railway station one day.
She had travelling bag in one hand. a
bunch of flowers in the other and a
box of candy and an umbrella tucked
under her arm. There was not a min
ute to spare, but the gatekeeper stopped
her mad rush.
"Show your ticket" he commanded.
The lady stood stock still and turned
red and then white.

Please let me through. I can't miss

WHAT OF THE WEATHER Z

In the April of this year there has
been very little of the type of weather
suggestive of the land of sunshine. The
whole month, in fact, has been amen
able to the suspicion that it was made
for back east" and dropped here by
mistake. There have been no such
storms and "cold snaps" as easterners
have experienced in many localities, but
there has been an unpleasant prepon-
derance of damp, cloudy days, with
WI It the weather forecaster calls
traces of rain.
What kind of weather may we EXPECT
during the month upon which we shall
enter tomorrow, particularly during the
Fiesta period next week? 1t is a ques-
tion of general interest in Los Angeles
at this time. All citizens yearn for a
kind of weather throughout that week
of the angelic city.
During the whole month of April there
has been no rain excepting few mere
dust-layers. The end of April is com
monty regarded as the close of the So
called rainy season." although light
shower or two in the early part of May
is not uncommon.
1t is to be hoped that if there is any
moisture now in stock for May delivery
it will not be dumped here within the
next ten or twelve days. The present
week win see the business thorough
fares of Los Angeles transformed by
magnificent and costly decorations,
much of the work being of a class that
could not withstand rain without seri-
GUS injury.
The flower feature of the decorations,
which viii not be displayed until the
first day of the Fiesta, will be least
likely to meet with mishap because of
rain. Flower decorations will stand,
without injury, any such light sprink-
ling as our May showers bring
The Fiesta de las Flores of 1907 is ex-
pected TO surpass all previous efforts OF
the kind, and the weather department
should show its interest by keeping the
clouds "rolled away"

PREMIUM ON cRAFr

The most fragrant examples Of Off
cial graft perpetrated by the highest
functionaries Of a great city are ex-
cusable provided that the culprits be-
tray their partners in crime.
That Is the great moral lesson" to
be inculcated by the graft prosecutions
In San Francisco, according to the
policy Of immunity attributed to the
prosecutors.
Recent reports from San Francisco
leave but little doubt that an under
standing has been reached whereby
Mayor Schmitz will be shielded from
criminal punishment in return for maxi
ing "clean breast" of all his bribe-
taking crimes. It is stated that schmitz
can give testimony that will convict
the high up" parties who bought fran
chises at top-notch figures.
The prosecutors in the San Francisco
graft cases have won deserved credit
for bringing the nest of confessed Of
fetal felons within the shadow of state
prison, but they will fall far short Of
their manifest duty II they fail to put
those felons inside the prison gates.
There can be no moral effect of sub
stantial value as a result Of giving
immunity to official rascals for the
sake of enmeshing the non-official kind.
Official publication is the primary need
Of San Francisco. Instead Of attaining
that purpose by granting immunity to
high officials the opposite effect may
be expected. The lesson" will be
taught eventually that escape from
punishment for official grating is cas-
lily reached by the betrayal of confed-
crates.
If the prosecution fails to land
Schmitz, Ruef and the other grafters
in San Quentin prison there will be a
moral effect in San Francisco as dam
aging to the welfare of the city as was
the physical effect of the earthquake.
The policy of giving immunity to san
Francisco's high class grafters recalls
an incident related in the early days
of the Civil war. Piclkets Of McClel-
lans army in Virginia were constantly
bringing non-miltant natives to head
quarters, always resulting in the order
Swear him and let him CO." One day
picket captured an enormous rattle
snake and after relief he brought the
reptile to headquarters as a curiosity
The officer in charge. being little
deaf and mistaking the announcement,
gave the stereotyped order, "Swear
him and let him 60"

sANPHDRo.s WARNING

Unless the dominant interests in San
Pedro change their tactics they may
expect property values to take dis
astrous tumble and they may see grass
sprouting in the streets Of their city.
Just that situation is forecast sub
stantially by Senator Flint, who has
been in close touch for months with the
authorities at washington. The SEN
ator says: I'VE failed to get an ap-
preparation from congress this year
because of the large private holdings
in the harbor. We never will be sue
cessful until the question of private
ownership is settled. The government
will not construct harbor for the
benefit of private interests"
The gist Of Senator Flint's statement
was embodied in The Herald's reiter-
ated warning when San Pedro infu-
ences were obstructing the attempt Of
the Los Angeles consolidation commits
sion to secure needful legislation at
Sacramento. The belief was ex-
pressed in these columns that the gov
ernment would not expend money for
commercial harbor at San Pedro, by
work on the inner bay, If the shipping
facilities were to be at the mercy Of
corporate interests.
1t should be remembered that the
government draws a very broad dis
tinctfon between what would consti-
tute a deep water commercial harbor
at San Pedro and the outer harbor
work which is in progress, known as
the breakwater.
All that the government has under
taken there is the construction of what
is officially designated as a "harbor of
refuge"
The breakwater when completed, will |
not be a distinctive San Pedro adjunct. |
1t will be in line with the governments |
lighthouse and life-saving system, a
refuge for the craft of all nations, |
without regard specially to commercial
interests.
In drawing the line between safe |
harbor or roadstead and commercial
harbor or shipping mart, the govern
ment is doing just what was to have
been expected, as pointed out by The
Herald. The federal officials are fa-
miliar with every phase of the harbor
situation, and it is that knowledge
which leads to Senator Flint's dis
closure that 1.-The government will not |
construct a harbor for the benefit of
private interests"
The community of San Pedro is as
impotent in this dilemma as is a fish |
on it's beach. In comparison
with the powerful corporations that
have their grip on the harbor rights
it is as helpless as an infant in the
hands of a giant.
But there is a giant strong enough |
to cope with those corporations, as the
latter know we'll by experience. That
giant is Los Angeles, the metropolis of
Southern California, a giant that stands
ready and willing to champion the
weak little sister city by the sea, only
awaiting the cry for help.
1t seems amazing that the intelligent |
citizens of San Pedro fail to perceive |
the rufnous policy that they permit |
of the corporations to lead
them into. There is good reason to
believe that large majority of such
citizens do appreciate the situation and
that there is need only of a vigorous
public awakening to insure decisive ac-
ton.
Senator Flint's warning is hand
writing on the wall" for San Pedro to
contemplate.
