RAILROADS FAVOR
n. {. A. DELEGATES

Unusual concessions on the part of
the railroad companies all over the
country promise to make the coming
convention of the National Educational
association, which will meet in this city
July s to 19 inclusive one of the largest
the city has ever seen.
North and west of New Orleans, St.
Louis, Peoria and Chicago all the lines
have made special rates of one fare,
plus 50, for the round trip. These rates
will also permit the visitors to return
by different routes without extra
charge, going or returning. By way of
Portland, however, an arbitrary of
$3.50 will be added. Stopovers will be
allowed both on the way out and on
the return trip. Tickets on these roads
will be on sale from June % to July 5
inclusive, and will be good till Septem-
Der 10.
The western roads have done even
better by the railroad committee of the
N. e. A. The Southern Pacific, Santa
Fe and Salt Lake roads from all points
south of Portland and west of Ogden,
Ell Paso Salt Lake City and Albu-
querque have, like the eastern roads,
also made a special rate of one fare,
plus 81, for the round trip, but the limit
of the tickets is much greater. From
June to July teachers in public or
private schools and student teachers in
normal schools or state universities
will be able to secure the tickets, as
will members of their families accom-
panying them. The same rate will pre-
vail for the general public from July .
to the Sth. Stopover privileges as lib
eral as those offered on the eastern
roads will prevail.
Within the state the various railroad
companies have also made special ar
rangements to show the states visitors
her beauties. The Southern Pacific,
Santa Fe and Salt Lake have all made
a special round trip rate of one and one
third rate for any point in the state.
This will give the educators an oppor-
tunity to see California's beauty spots
at comparatively low cost.

AN ELECTION SURPRISE

The local election last Monday in San
Bernardino was an event of more than
local interest. The seeds of a so-called
reform movement had been sown
months before. the sprouting and ma
turing of the crop had been eagerly
watched by the promoters and a boun-
teous harvest was expected on election
day Not only the citizens of San Ber-
nardino but those of many other cities
and towns in that section eagerly
awaited the result.
The liquor selling question was the
chief issue in the election, as it usually
is in the electoral contests of South
ern California communities. The reform
element, classifying itself politically as
Independent" was arrayed against the
conservatives of both the old political
parties. Both sides admitted that the
fight would be a redhot one, but the In
dependents were the more sanguine of
victory.
The result was a surprise all around
but to the Independents 1t was amaz-
ing. They were defeated by an over
whelming majority. They are at a loss
to understand what became of all the
support that was pledged or promised
prior to the election.
The solution of the mystery should
not be hard to find. 1t can easily be
guessed. anyway, by close Los An
geles observers. San Bernardino men
who had been urged by the reformers
to support their cause and who had
ostensibly agreed to do so, quietly
"knifed" the Independents when they
came to cast their ballots.
Why? Because they did not believe in
the policy of carrying so-called reform
to the limit demanded ly the reformers.
They had an object lesson of ultra pro-
hibition results nine miles distant in
the hermetically sealed city Of Red
lands. Leading business men of the
latter city admit, sub rosa, that pro-
hibition is injurious to the place, as it
turns away a large percentage of the
tourist trade and bars many desirable
homeseekers.

NO PRESS TRUST

Stranger things than clouds of grass
hoppers from tiny eggs are evolved in
Kansas.
The latest idea of unique kind re-
ported from that state is a newspaper
trust. 1t is not ostensibly a trust, as
the newspaper men concerned are as
shy of that word as are the magnates
of the big corporations.
The movement in question has for it's
purpose a union of the Kansas press
under an anti-corporation agreement. -
Having thus solidihed the influence
and power of the press, united front
is to be presented "to oppose corpora
tion bossism of politics regardless of
party lines"
This proposition recalls the thread
bare moot question whether it Is right
to employ questionable means to sub
serve good end. On phase of that
question is embodied in the standard
query of the present day whether a
gift of alleged tainted" money should
De accepted even for the most laudable
purpose.
Would not the Kansas newspapers
plainly stultify themselves by forming
a coalition-praetically a trust-"to
oppose corporate bossism in politics"
which also is Of trust kind?
But The Herald opposes the propo-
sition on broader grounds than the
matter Of consistency. The Kansas
men may put up a strong argument in
favor Of the general plan of Fighting
fire with fire." Whether they can stop
the onward sweep Of political bossism
by the olden time method Of breaking
prairie fires in Kansas remains to be
determined.

press as 1.-The palladium OF liberty

HANDICAPPED POLICE

Probably the person best qualified to
speak on the subject says: 'I know
that your police department here Is
handicapped to a remarkable degree.
In the first place you have not suf-
ficient men to properly police your city
and the detective bureau is overcrowd-
ed with work"
That Is the judgment of man who,
as all readers Of The Herald know is
thoroughly qualified to express an
opinion on the subject. He is "the
Mysterious Mr.. Raffles." And now
note what he says as a result Of the
experience he has been having for two
weeks with the Los Angeles police
force generally and the sleuths of the
detective bureau particularly. This
shows you how easily an escaped muir
derer could hide himself in your very
midst, were he to take even half the
precautions against capture that sur
round myself with"
In submitting this opinion the man
Of mystery tips the hint that what he
says of the inadequacy Of the Los An
geles police force is something for all
citizens and officials to ponder.
1t is, indeed, worth pondering We
have here not only the smallest per
capita police force among large Amer
ican cities, but we have also the larg-
est per capita number Of the criminal
classes. Not that Los Angeles is a
hothouse of criminal propagation, but
because 1t is a magnet of attraction
for crooks Of all classes, just as 1t at
tracts reputable visitors.
The opinion expressed by "the Mys-
terious Mr.. Raffles" is neither new nor
surprising. 1t is convincing, however,
and should spur the city authorities to
practical action in accordance with 1t.
The insufficiency of the police force.
both for general and detective service,
is a matter Of public notoriety. But
the matter is brought to notice more
forcefully than ever by this adept in
thwarting police surveillance, and the
hint should be accepted at it's full
value.
Instead of being handicapped by an
inadequate force of patrolmen and de-
tectives Los Angeles should be excep-
tionally we'll equipped in that respect.
And the matter of cost should not be
allowed to hinder public protection
from criminals.
The Mysterious Mr.. Raffes" is de-
cidedly right.

HEWITT CAMPS ON
BOSTWICK'S TRAIL
FORMER CITY EMPL0YE MAY
MAKE REFUND
City Attorneys Office Looks Into Cir
cumstances Of Payment of $500
to Faithful Henchman of
Old Council

City Attorney Hewitt is investigating
the circumstances by which e. e.
Bostwick, former secretary of the coun-
Gil finance committee who is seeking a
place on the Los Angeles aqueduct
work, obtained $500 additional from the
city for previous services though his
increased salary ordinance was marked
to date December 1, 1906.
Bostwick, who was the financial ad-
wiser of the old council in bookkeeping
matters, got the money on an order
for Supplies" which may be construed
Supply of labor" He will doubtless
claim that he got pay for extra work.
Mr. Hewitt will look into the authori-
ties closely to see on what ground such
a demand can be made by an en-
ploye.
If there is a legal chance of recover
ing this money for the city it will be
embraced Mr. Hewitt states.
Because of a war being waged on
illegal and irregular demands since the
Harper administration brought the
watchful auditor, w. C. Mushet, into
office, the whole system of demands
is being revolutionized.
Since January few irregular demands
have been paid, and no more will be
passed hereafter under any circum-
stances unless all technicalities have
been complied with.
Mr.. Mushet has force of private de-
tectives working for him and revela-
tions may be expected at any time re-
garding past methods in vogue with
former city officials. Thousands of dol
lars are said to have been squandered
on illegal payments.

RANCHERS MAKE
FINAL ARGUMENT
SAN FERNANDO WATER USERS
WANT ASSURANCE
VIII Confer with Commissioners and
City Officials Friday Morning
Regarding Probable Fu-
ture Course

Friday morning an important con-
ference will be held in the mayors
office between the San Fernando
water users and city officials.
Several days ago delegation of
ranchmen had talk with Mayor
Harper Their object was to learn
whether the city would enforce its
rights to the water of the valley un-
der a recent court decision. If such
was the contemplated object 1t would
be useless to put in their crops, the
delegates argued
Mayor Harper told them that as
mayor he could give them no answer
but as citizen he would see that they
got a square deal.
1t was suggested that superintendent
William Mulholland be called into the
conference, and 1t is likely that the
water commissioners will take part in
the discussion.
Unofficially it is asserted that no
steps will be taken to injure the ranch
ers unless the city absolutely needs
the water from the valley.

FOUR MEET DEATH
IN EXPLOSIONS

Four men were killed and one seri-
ously injured in the explosion of two
railway locomotive boilers of the South
ern Pacific on the Tehachapi mountain
and Mojave at midnight Tuesday, and
at o'clock yesterday morning, respect
lively.
Train No. 242, an oil drag, made up
of thirty loaded oil cars and drawn
by three locomotives. was part way
through the tunnel when the last
helper engine, No. 2S16, exploded
Engineer Machin and Fireman w.
Vaughan were killed instantly Their
mangled bodies were picked up $50 feet
from the train. H. B. Jones, brake
man, was thrown from the caboose and
seriously hurt, but will probably re-
cover.
While engine No. 27O3, in charge of
H. ID. Earnest and his assistant, D.
Shea, was being taken from the round
house to be attached to a train leaving
Mojave for Bakersfield at A a. m. the
crown sheet dropped causing an ex-
plosion. Earnest and Shea were in
stantly killed. Both were Los Angeles
men.
The wreck of the engine caused a
blockade and traffic was delayed for
hours. Among other trains was the one
bearing the G. A. r. excursionists from
San Francisco to Santa Barbara.

The Herald is an everlasting fighter
against such bossism. 1t could not be

determined to continue the fight so
long as the iniquity Of political boss
ism disgraces public affairs in Cali

ARIZONA SHRlNERS WILL

patrol of thirty members, seventy-five
Shriners from Prescott, 100 from Phoe-
nix, 100 from Tucson, 1876 from Bisbee
and Douglas and thirty from Globe are
already booked for a trip to the coming

BRYAN TO WALL STREET

Through the medium Of a Wall street
publication, w. j. Bryan further eluci-
dates his idea of the proper relation
ship between the federal government
and the railways. 1t is presumable that
this latest utterance on the subject was
drawn out by criticism from the rail-
way interests represented in Wall
street.
The most important feature Of the
article referred to is the assurance that
Mr.. Bryan's plan involves no change
calculated to disturb the equilibrium
of the vast interests connected with
railway management. The plan is
recognized as experimental and it's
authors idea is to advance it only so
fast as it's practicability may be demon
strated.
AS Mr. Bryan says for the particular
information of Wall street, the system
should be inaugurated gradually, so
that the government could profit by ex-
perience." He thinks that a feasible
method of testing the value of his plan
of government ownership of the trunk
railways would be by acquiring or con-
structing one transcontinental line and
perhaps a cross line.
That experiment would be thoroughly
tested before taking another step in
the same direction. 1t would, in the
estimation of Mr.. Bryan, "do more to
demonstrate the wisdom or the folly Of
governorment ownership than all the
arguments that could be made for or
against the system" Hence, as he con-
cludes, "if the government is incompe-
tent to attend to such matters and too
extravagant in public work, the private
roads need not be afraid of competi-
tion."
There is no cause for fear therefore,
that the election of Mr.. Bryan to the
presidency would result in any radical
and harmful change in the country's
transportation service. The plan of
government ownership of the trunk
lines would be approached cautiously
and would be advanced only as it might
prove to be practicable. And If the ex-
pertinent should prove unsatisfactory
the idea would be abandoned.
That is the substance of Mr.. Bryans
suggestion, as we find it amplified in
the Wall street newspaper. 1t shows
that the idea is no menace, as has been
widely proclaimed, to transportation
and railway investment interests. And
Mr.. Bryan concludes his article with
this assurance: "There is no disposition
under either strict regulation or govern
ment ownership to do injustice to in
vestors in railroad securities and the
courts would prevent injustice even if
1t were attempted"
The pretense that Mr.. Bryan's plan
aims at "confiscation" of the railways
is the magnifying of mole hill to the
proportions of a mountain.

try, where he has been working on the
levees being built to hold the river in

He says that a wonderful piece of
engineering work has been done there
and, in his opinion, the Colorado river
will henceforth keep to the straight
and narrow path.
1--WE have been working in Old Mex
leo, about four miles below the border
line. All the work has been done under
difficulties because of the trouble In
getting labor The best laborers down
there are the Indians and some of the
Mexicans. The Indians get 81 day
and the Mexicans S225, and there are
not too many of either. 1t will prob
ably take another month to complete
the levees, though the dam has already
been finished"
