Razing Of the old store buildings on the
site Of the new Young Women's Christian
association on the triangular lot on St.
Mary's avenue, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets, has nearly been COM
pleted by Rlngwalt Bros, who were
awarded the contract for removing the old
and dilapidated structures Bids have been
received and opened for the new associa-
ton building, but new figures will have to
be taken in order to keep within the build
Ing fund recently raised by popular subscrip-
ton. 1t is understood that most Of the bids
received were not within the limit Of the
funds on hand and minor changes will,
therefore. be necessary, The question Of
the material to be used has not been def
nitely determined on account OF the differ
ence in price between gray and red facing
brick. 1t Is probable that the contract for
the construction OF the new association
home will be awarded within a very few
weeks.

School of Pharmacy, which is Icing erected
adjoining the building Of the medical school
at Fourteenth and Davenport streets. The

stead Of three stories in height as was or
iginally intended, and the additional space

pharmacy building has bean delayed on ac-
count Of the inability OF the contractors
TO secure sufficient brick from the Kansas
kilns, but the structure will be ready for
occupancy before the fall term of school
begins.

SUNDAY HERALD-1O CENTS

Beginning next Sunday, March 81,
the retail price of the Sunday issue of
The Los Angeles Herald will be 10
cents.
There will be no change in the regular
subscription price which is 65 cents a
month, delivered by carrier, inclusive
of the Sunday Herald.
The principal reason for the increase
in the retail price of the Sunday issue
that is, the street price and the price
asked by all agents and to the public
over the counters of The Herald-is the
largely increased cost of white paper.
Because of the scarcity of raw material
and the shortage of cars throughout the
country another advance in The price
of white paper has just been announced
by the manufacturers association for
1907. This advance was decided UpCn
at a meeting of the eastern and western
members of the association last Mon
day, with the additional statement tnEt
the cost of production during the last
year had greatly increased.
White paper being the chief single
item of cost in the publication of
daily newspaper, it follows that heavy
advance or series of advances in that
cost must be met somewhere. The
Herald felt that it would hardly be fair
to ask it's thousands of regular sub
scribers to share in the added cost, so
no change in the regular subscription
price has been made. BY doubling the
retail price, The Herald feels that it
will be doing no injustice to it's readers
while at the same time it will be
enabled to profltably meet the increased
cost of production.

PEACE MANTnD I'm LIBRARY

Isn't It possible in some way to quiet
the continual turmoil among the IL
brary employees and to end the cease
less pickering that now disgraces that
otherwise noble institution?
Cannot some method be found to
harmonlze the feminine contingent,
whose habitat Is among the sleepy
aisles Of the worlds best literature.
and who would naturally be expected to
execute its duties in dignihed silence
or calm and courteous quietude, in
stead of quarreling all the time?
What Is wrong with the staff of as
sistants in this world Of books that It
constantly bickers worse than a bridge
party?
Is 1t lack of q head? Truly, the
learned Mr.. Lummis was never before
accused of absence of decision or de-
clared milk-and-watery as to language
or act. Cannot the tanner Of the desert
and the subduer Of the wilds calm the
tempest in his own teapot? Is it prone
ness to quarrel, jealousy and natural
perversity among his coterle of slkirted
helpers?
There be rumors a many, but few
facts. There Is talk of a SENATE"
among the young women, which runs
things" But why senate to direct
affairs when Los Angeles pays liter
airy lion librarian to do so? Again,
there be uneasy reports from the old
row over Miss Jones and her retire
ment Can it be that her name is a
feminine Banquo whose ghost will not
down?
And still, again, It is asseverated that
petty "petticoat politics" has been in
jected into the monotonous routine;
that some fair workers are Jealous
save the markl-because others have
proved more competent and have been
preferred.
Be all this as 1t may, isn't it about
time that the library war cease? The
public is becoming very weary of it;
no longer is it even funny. Persons
actually dislike to visit the library and
draw books; too frequently they receive
impertinent or Indifferent attention; too
often they are positively neglected.
We have a librarian of great excel
lence; can he not bring order out of
this beskirted chaos? We have Ii
brary board of proved willingness; can
it not if no other way remains, expel
the whole pink-tea outfit and install
few men, who can be cussed if they
are impudent and fired if incompetent,
without shocking any lady's feelings or
turning on any tears?

THE souTH's LABOR PROBLEM

Georgia is prompt to take advantage
of the example set by South Carolina
In going to Europe for white labor to
supply the deficiency which is retard-
ing the southland. The Washington
authorities having decided that recent
immigration from Belgium and Ger
many, assisted by the state, does not
conflict with the contract labor law,
Georgia is going to get help in the
same way. Naturally there is objec-
tion by labor unions, and there will be
a great deal of discussion and protest
both in the north and south. One effect
of this should be to turn organized
labor's attention to a closer scrutiny of
southern industrial conditions. If that
be done it is not difficult to foresee
that our own white labor, prompted by
a spirit of self-preservation, will event
ually take a hand I'm relieving the sit
uation in the south. That is what the
south wants and what some of the
oVercrowded cities of the north may
view with equanlmity.
At present there is a general scarcity
of labor, but this cannot continue for
ever, and il it is possible to demon
strate that there are opportunities in
the south, with its milder climate, its
easier ways and it's less costly living,
organized labor ought to be able to do
more than any other agency to check
the immigration in which 1t claims now
to see so great menace. Certainly
the manufacturers and producers Of
the south would prefer American labor
to the people of foreign tongues and
methods and would welcome a friendly
invasion from the east and north

THE BIG SHIP

The plan of the 20,000-ton displace-
ment battleship, costing $1O,OOO,OOO or
thereabouts which congress condition
ally authorized, has been submitted.
Immediately a discussion has started
among the naval men and ship archi-
tects as to whether that is Just the
ship we want, and whether, as was in
tended, it will be the mightiest craft
afioat and will stand as a challenge to
England, France, Germany ct al. to
beat it if they can. Some naval Of
ficers are free to declare at the out
set that in building this ship the
United States will show itself about
two years behind Great Britain and
very far behind Japan, which is said
to be now building a warship of $4,000
tons displacement which is to have an
armament more powerful than any
ship of any navy has. So our attempt
to get ahead is thwarted at the very
start.
Thus this big navy business has be-
come a rivalry among the nations to
see which can spend the most money.
1t is a wrestle of revenues. to be de-
cided finally upon the question which
nation is willing to exact from the
people the most taxes. We do not be-
lieve that national glory lies in that
direction. 1t lies in the character of
the nation, it's sense of justice and it's
disposition to act fair. A nation stall
wart In its virtue, it's liberty, it's high
purpose, is stronger than Dreadnaughts
can make 1t. A nation that tries to
build up it's naval strength on the
rivalry plan will fall short of its pur-
pose as long as another nation has a
stronger navy.-Ohio State Journal.

WALL STREET TROUBLES

Though the average business man
scarcely knew It, wall street has just
gone through a most remarkable up
heaval-indeed It Is not entirely
through II yet. Huge paper fortunes
were wiped out and many a man
counted rich a fortnight ago Is now
hard put to it to maintain his business
standing. Stocks of certain sorts
slumped fearfuly, and money advanced
at an alarming rate. The financial
horizon was black with clouds and the
air was surcharged with electricity
"A rich mans panic" this was called;
a crash in which fortunes founded on
fictitious values melted away like snow
banks in the sun. It had little or no
effect on business in general, and the
legitimate trading interests of the land
knew Of It only through the papers.
1t was almost entirely a stock jobbers'
affair." started by them for market
manipulating purposes, and 1t was
maintained almost wholly within their
own circle.
Yet It would be a serious error not to
imagine that such an affair did not
affect general business interests, at
least indirectly, or to think it a rather
amusing ARRAY because it was a case
of dog eat dog" True, the conserva-
tive man atGfirst blush is rather in
clined to laugh at the burned fingers of
the spectators who are caught in a fire
they themselves have started But
sober reflection shows that the event is
not without serious side, as we'll as its
criminal aspect.
Depreciation, whether it be of mer-
chandise, real property or paper stocks,
means a retrenchment. Banks lend
money on securities as we'll as upon
more tangible property. If stocks, no
matter how good they may be, shrink
in market value from any cause, natur-
ally the loans based upon them must
be curtailed. This again makes a sharp
demand for money wherewith to settle,
and a shrinkage in bank deposits en-
sues, the money market is disturbed,
ulSCOuuI rates go up anu CTdSneS IOllOWs
That no failures eventuated from this
panic" proves the inherent financial
strength of the market, the securities
and finances generally; but that the
trouble, started for manipulation pur-
poses, is any the less criminal because
of this or any less free from condemna-
tion of danger it were folly to assert.
The country just now is in a tremen-
dously satisfactory financial state, but
there is a feeling of unrest and Of
gradual retrenchment that will grow
until after the election of 1908. Any
eXtraneous element or event which will
disturb confidence or create apprehen-
sion is to be severely condemned. That
paper fortunes were wrecked by this
recent furry is of small Importance;
the point is that it is possible by stock
jobbery to upset the financial world at
a time when quiet and conservatism
are of paramount need. This is not the
time to tolerate the monkeyshines Of
a lot of Wall street brokers, cooked up
for their own selfish ends; they should
be curbed and suppressed at all hazards.
And the danger is that the recent up
heaval will be taken too lightly, and
its real import overlooked.
