NEW COUNTY SCHEME

The scheme to create a new county
with Pomona as the central figure, has
been revived i'm the legislature. II was
introduced two years ago, but after
considerable discussion it was laid on
the shelf. The proposition is to take
from the eastern part of Los Angeles
county and the western part of San
a new county.
The name San Antonio has been Sc
lected for the proposed county, bor-
rowing the proper name of "Old
Baldy." That is about as far as the
scheme is likely to get II we may Judge
from opposition that developed in the
last session Of the legislature and that
Is arousing now.
Los Angeles could afford to lose the
strip of territory desired but the COM
munities affected would hesitate when
1t came to the point Of mourning the
expense of new county buildings and
the cost of equipment and maintenance
of county government. In the part Of
San Bernardino county that is involved
in the scheme, however, the sentiment
of opposition is said to be strong and
determined.
In order to consummate this purpose
1t will be necessary, in the first place,
TO secure petitions signed by at least
one-half of the voters in each of the
districts embraced i'm the proposition.
Finally a vote must be taken on the
main issue and it would require 60 per
cent in the affirmative to carry out
the scheme. 1t is quite improbable,
therefore, that San Antonio county
will become a member of California's
family In the near future.
incidentally there is need, or soon
will be, for one new county in South
ern California. The important district
comprehensively known as Imperial
valley is in San Diego county, which
stretches clear across the state from
the Pacific coast to the Colorado river.
San Diego city is the county seat and
it is accessible to Imperial valley peo-
pie only by the roundabout route to
Los Angeles, involving journey of
hundreds OF miles.

A ROMANCE OF THE NORTH

A reunion between husband and wife
after a separation of more than twen-
ty-two years was effected a few days
ago when Michael Kobevitch, the pro-
prietor of a roadhouse on Pilgrim river
was introduced to his wife, whom he
had last seen in Prussia more than a
score of years ago.
Mr. Kobevitch left Prussia at that
time for the purpose of seeking his for
tune in America and she has patiently
awaited his return ever since. They
have corresponded all the time, and a
year ago Mr.. KObeVitch sold some
property in the Kougarok district and
sent for his wife with portion of the
proceeds.
Mrs. Kobevitch had changed so
greatly since her husband had last seen
her that II was necessary to introduce
the couple to each other.-Nome Gold

RUN THE FAKERS OUT

The assessment Of a fine of $3.50 or
ninety days in Jail against an alleged
spiritualistic medium in the police
court yesterday established beyond
doubt the truth OF the charges that
The Herald has made from time to
time against these takers.
OF course. no one at all familiar with
the circumstances doubted for an in
stant that The Herald knew whereof
It spoke when it printed column after
'column of exposures about these hu-
man vultures and their methods. Ocu-
lar proof of their frauds was secured
by reporters detailed for that purpose
and evidences Of then trickery were
multiplied. But 1t Is always easy to
make denials, and a sympathetic fol-
lowing is too often prone to believe the
specious words of a skilled deceiver.
Now, however the courts have taken
due cognizance of the very state Of af-
fairs Of which The Herald complained.
The laws heavy hand has descended
upon one of the charlatans and he has
been duly convicted. The fine and inn
prisonment have come as the result of
a trial by jury, that great bulwark of
American libeIties, and the defendant
has been proved guilty without reserve.
This first case makes IL evident that
these defrauders of the unwary and
the gullible can be easily reached by
the law and that they are amenable to
punishment. or course, the greatest
penalty that can be visited upon them
Is the expose to which they are sub
Jected; it pillories them in the public
eye and shows that they are the
frauds and takers that they have been
branded. But the law itself has been
outraged by them, and the due punish
ment should follow.
Now that a conviction has been Sc
cured in one of these cases, a regular
campaign of determination should be
made against the whole tribe of seers.

the city and to set at naught the laws

good work go on till this disgrace on
Los Angeles fair name is removed.
This city has an unenviable reputa-
ton for harboring more frauds and
takers of this class than any other
place on earth. 1t has become a by
word in the land as the home of this
sort of graft and chicanery. Hitherto it
has been claimed that the swindlers
could not be reached. It is now dem
onstrated, after The Herald proved
their fraudulent methods, that they
can be brought under control If they
are still permitted to carry on their
depredations it will be the fault of the
police department and the law making
and enforcing powers generally.

ESTHETlc FURNITURE

Is there any real reason why fur
niture should not be comfortable? This
Is a question that, like the refractory
midrib in a mission chair, bears hard
on the average householder. We have
become so arts. nnd-craftily snobbish
about everything nowadays that even
that great and benef1cent invention OF
a noble friend of humanity, the Morris
chair, is getting rigid, formal, and more
thing to be looked at than to be sat
in. The shape of nine out Of ten pieces
of furniture is miserably contrived to
exalt, If possible, the reputation of the
owner for artistic taste, not to make
him or his friends feel good and snoozy
around the domestic fireside.
1t is said that our latest esthetic
rage, the mission furniture, is modelled
after the chairs, tables and benches left
in the ancient Spanish missions of
posts of the church in barbarous land
we're abandoned. 1t Is not stated
whether the mission furniture had any
thing to do with causing the missions
to be abandoned. 1t may well be that
they did. In any case, 1t is known that
several hair shirts were found In the
missions at the same time, which is
most suggestive circumstance. lt
points unerringly to the apparent fact
that the pious Franciscans had the
chairs and benches there for purposes
of penance. Beyond doubt, some
thing Of the penitential character OF
this furniture has survived in its COM
mercial representatives in the market
today.
Some of the Oldest of us can remem-
ber q kind of easy chair that used 10
exist in the long ago which was built
to fit a mans backg 1t curved inward

down into this chair. but at the front
there was a kind of San Juan hill that
prevented one from slipping forward.
The arms were ample. This chair had
absolutely no esthetic qualities what
ever. There was no beauty about II ex-
cept the beauty of peace and serenity.
But to sit in II was benediction, not
modification, Of the flesh.
We believe that this chair has its
comfortable successors in the market,
but they are available only for mil
lionaires, or for presentation purposes.
This generation has acquired altogether
too strong a sense of the picturesque

KEEP EVEN PACE

THE western country has grown so
fast that the railroads have been unable
to keep pace with it."
So says James j. Hill, the veteran
railway magnate and financier Hence
the obvious remedy for the present
shortage in railway service is more
lines, both transcontinetal and feeders.
The idea thus expressed might be ex-
panded to cover many public utilities
besides the railways. To localize the
APPLICATION, we have examples right here
in Los Angeles of failure of such utili-
ties to keep pace with the tremendous
strides of the city. And the remedy
for the shortcoming here is similar to
the one suggested by Mr.. Hill We
need, and need badly, an expansion of
with the rapid growth of the city.
Citizens of Los Angeles have COM
paratively little cause for complaint in
regard to the citys transit service. The
need for expansion in that line is rec
ognized by the promoters of the service.
however, and a comprehensive broaden
ing of the system will soon begin. But
in other branches of public service
there is an evident lack of sufficient
equipment to meet the demand
Defects in the electric and gas SER
vice of this city have been strikingly in
evidence for several weeks. In the sit
uation concerning them, as in the busi-
ness of the railways, we see necessity
for provision whereby emergencies may
be bridged without jeopardy to the
comfort or the material interests of the
community.
In ordinary circumstances, for in
stance, the electric ana gas equipment
would have been fairly adequate, at
least, to meet the public demand this
winter. BY strange coincidence how
ever, we have had an extraordinarily
protracted period of cold and rainy
weather, together with a coal and wood
famine and a run of bad luck in the
gas production. If coal deliveries had
not Interrupted, the drain upon the gas
service might not have been beyond
its capacity.
1t is just here that we comprehend
the full force of the admonition given
to Los Angeles by Secretary Shaw, as
frequently quoted Build for the
future-build big" AS the railways of
the great west are not keeping pace
with the mighty growth of the coun-
try, so the public utilities OF Los An
geIes are tagging behind the amazing
progress Of the city, To use a homely
phrase, we are Giving from hand to
mouth in that regard In fact we are
getting along more in accordance with
the questionable scrlptural advice to
take no thought of the morrow"
Such eXigencies as have occurred this
winter in Los Angeles would not be
likely to happen often, but they will
serve to invite preparation for any
thing of the kind In the future. 1t is
manifestly TO the interest Of all pub
lie purveyors to give satisfactory ser
vice. The unexpected will happen, ana
1t Is very apt to happen Just when ii
is the leas, pleasing to have it. The
only safety against emergencies, as in
timated before, is to be prepared at an
times for them.
And the whole lesson to be learned in
this respect may be boiled down to
that motto for Los Angeles which Sec
