WHY NOT WAKE UP7

Patriotic Republicans of Southern
California ought to receive and remem-
ber the lesson that is being forced upon
general assembly.
During many years past they have
steadfastly voted to represent us in the
assembly such agents and friends of
the Southern Pacific railroad and other
corporations as We're designated by the
corporations for popular suffrage. Re
publicans have never varied nor wearied
in their support of the Southern Pacific
hirelings.
And Southern California invaria bly,
reaps the result. The Southern Pacific
organizes and conducts the assembly
from San Francisco, not from Los An
geles. What San Francisco demands
it gets; what Los Angeles prays for
and pleads for, it doesn't get.
Now, if the Republicans Of Southern
California desire to persist in turning
this section over biennially to the
Southern Pacific railroad we beseech
them to have it understood in advance,
and in writing, that the Southern Pa
cific railroad, in return for Republican
generosity, will allow Los Angeles and
Southern California to be on the map.
1t seems useless to ask the Republi-
can party to divorce itself from the
Southern Pacific railroad. The com
bination last year was openly and scan
dalously notorious and the Republican
majority went through about as usual.
1t didn't appear to make the slightest
difference to Republicans that their
party had been convicted beyond all
question. of joining hands with the rail-
roads Somebody in the background
shouted "Old Glory" and "Hurrah for
the party of Lincoln and Grant" and
everybody on the Republican side
marched up and voted the Southern
Pacific ticket,
The uselcssness OF trying to stop that
sort of thing has become apparent to
every man who ever undertook to stop
it. There is only one thing left to be
done, and that is an open and notorious
bargain by and between the Republican
party and the Southern Pacific railroad
whereby the railroad shall agree, for
and i'm consideration of the steadfast
Republican vote OF Southern California,
that the railroad company will allow its
state assembly to occasionally-say
now and then-pcuuit this section to
procure one or two laws that are abso-
lutoly essential 10 its existence and
progress.
The reasons are inconceiyable why
the Republicans of Southern California
vote regularly to turn their half of the
state over to San Francisco, to be jug
gled with and thrown down, persis-
tently and maliciously.
Thus far in the session Of the assem-
bly, every measure looking TO the local
interest of Los Angeles has been SUM
marily dealt With by the Southern Pa
cifc assembly. Committees have re-
ported adversely, not on divided vote

DE LoNePRE ANSWERS CRITICS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14-Editor
Herald)-It is beyond my poor little
comprehension to understand or eX-
plain the outburst of insulting sar-
casm heaped on me because l simply
used my name to help the musical
enterprise OF my friend, Mr.. Fred
Limonze, who is spending all his ener-
gy and money to give to Los Angeles a
permanent palm garden where the best
bands will be heard; to create a place
such as exists in all large cities in the
civilized world (and why should Los
Angeles, with 100000 inhabitants, be
one of the eXceptionsO
l signed that petition to help my
friend, Mr.. Limonze; and any man
born in Europe or any of our great
American cities would have done so.
Outside of my great love for music
have not one cent of interest In that
enterprise, but | sincerely think If we
had in Los Angeles a magnificent place,
as well conducted as the Venice Au-
ditorium, in which great American
or Italian band would give the best
music, such a place would be great
credit to Los Angeles which is going
at full speed to be the New York of the
Pacific coast.
Among some letters that too holy
people sent to me on that above sub
ject one read so:
"You have dishonored yourself. u.s.
ing the prestige of your name trying to
get the poor, weak council (sic) to
break the rules. You have lowered
yourself in the eyes OF all Southern
California and you will never (Oh, myD
rise to the high position you once held,
so disgusted are the people (of the state
who makes wine for all the United
States.-P. de L. at your so sudden
outburst in favor of beer" But my
dear man, too holy to be true, If II
were as you say, / would not give
five cents for the esteem of the whole
California;! And the letter goes on:
"Nor the writer, nor any of his friends.
will ever buy a painting or anything
bearing your name as long as they
live!!l" which clearly means for me
(poor PauD starvation to death, with
my family fiTst and second to be
roasted for thousands of years i'm hell
(but hope they have cool beer there!D
And now to finish. Read what 1
copy from the Bible.
"Give wine to the one who has a
heavy heart. Let him drink and for
get his poverty" Prov xxxl:6-7.
Drink no longer water, but use a
little wine for thy stomach's sake'--
Tim. y;23.
"Wine that maketh glad the heart
of man."-Ps. civ:15.
"Wine that cheereth God and man."
Judges iX:13.
Now then, why advise men to drink
wine and have them damned If they
drink beer? Is that what the Bible
means? And the holy book does not
say, do 1t on the sly" either,

WHEN scHNITz CONES HOME

san Franciscos war drama Is devel-
oping opera bouffe characteristics at
Washington. It could hardly be other
wise with the picturesque person Of
Mayor Schmitz as the central figure
among the San Francisco belligerents.
But aside from the figure cut by
Schmitz and his trailers OF the San
Francisco board Of education, the war
scare begins to look much more far
cical than serious.
According to the latest reports the
Japanese government will be satisfied
with a proposition on this basis: THE
exclusion Of Asiatic coolies would not
be Objectionable to Japan provided
that the phrase Japanese coolies be
not employed, and also that the San
Francisco school difficulties are first
satisfactorily adjusted
That should be a solid basis for set
tlement, as Mayor Schmitz and his
labor union allies have declared that
the school question is of no special
consequence, the main purpose being
to shut out Japanese laborers. And so
1t seems probable that the war buga-
boo will dissolve, leaving no substan-
tial trace of the late unpleasantness,'
as used to be good form" in allusion
to the civil War.
The peaceful outcome now promised
is in line with the view taken of the
war scare from the earliest stage of
it's symptoms. The idea that the
United States and Japan should en-
gage in war over so trivial a question
as the schooling of half a hundred lit
tie Japs in San Francisco seemed pre-
posterous.
But the most ridiculous of all ideas
was the assumption that Japan was
just "spoiling for a fight" with the
United States as a step necessary to
Japans commercial dominance of the
Pacific. AS The Herald pointed out
Japan was so weakened by it's contest
with Russia that provocation of war
with the United States would be an
act of national suicide.
The temper of Japans statesmen, as
evinced in their eagerness to adjust
the San Francisco trouble is anything
but warlike. They recognize the fact
that their nation, although victorious
in the war with Russia, came out Of
the contest in badly damaged condi-
ton. They fully understand that the
hospital, not the battlefield, will be the
proper place for recovery from the aw-
full results of the late war.
Assuming that there is substantial
ground for the pacific news from
Washington, the last act of San Fran
cisco's opera bouffe will appear when
the "bassoon player" and his board of
education trailers come marching
home. Not since the days when Roman
generals returned in triumph from
conquests has there been such a spec
tacle as may be looked for in San
Francisco at the home coming of
Schmitz ct al
But the sorest spot left by the war
like flash in the pan will be the re-
membrance, here in California, of Abe
Ruef's side partner and probable fell
low convict in San Quentin, posing be-
fore the president of the United States
as the representative par excellence of
the Golden State!

Osler, "the surgeon is often called too late, but never too soon." Five minutes delay may decide the is- sue between life and death.
 Twenty years ago the general public held hospitals in horror and operating room in abomination. but of late surgery has become so exact that this old feeling is dying out. Going to a hospital to have ones appendix removed is by no means a thing that should cause one to break into cold precipitation of terror. No preparation is re- quired, the time lost is but a few weeks and the risk of dying is very small-indefnitely smaller, indeed, than the risk run by the man who insists upon keeping his inflamed appendix.
 Promptness is the one thing de- sired above anything else. Out of every 1000 victims who die under the knife, it is probable that 999 either have delayed in sending for competent physician in the first place, or having sent for him have

sicians as soon as they are sure that a patient has appendicitis to hand him over to a surgeon to have his germ ridden appendix cut out. When it is cut out the germs in it go with it, and if the wound heals properly--as it does in the vast majority-the patient recovers.
 This fact explains the general tendency to operate in appendicitis. It is always possible that the pa tient will recover without an opera tion, but if the latter is performed in time chances are enormously in creased. If we put his risk at dying from the disease itself at hundred we may put his his risk at dying from the operation at five. It is thus plain that in the long run the wisest plan is to optrate.
 The symptoms of appendicitis are pretty we'll known to everyone. The disease usually makes itself mani- fest quite suddenly and the first sign is commonly severe and sharp pain in the abdomen, some- what to the right of the center line. A moderate fever accompanies this
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-07-14

and other slight symptoms such as coated tongue, loss of appetite and vomiting follow. The muscles of the abdomen are drawn taut and pres sure over the appendix causes ex- crutiating pain.
 This is the general picture. In addition there are a hundred and one other indications apparent only to the physician. But those given suffice for a lresumptive diagno- sis. They may appear and yet there may be no appendicitis, but this is decidedly unusual in persons otherwise healthy.
 Immediate Operations.
 Therefore, if you are seized by a sudden and violent pain in the right side, somewhere in the vicinity of the belt, and this is followed by a slight fever, the customary sympt- oms of sick stomach, it is best to send for a doctor at once. And when the doctor comes, he advises you to go to a hospital for an oper- ation, do so immediately without senseless protest or delay.

have been organized and will begin work
on Monday Of next week. A number OF
new enrollments have been made recent.
ly and IL there are others who can avail
themselves Of the advantages offered
this ia most opportune time to begin.
A recent report Of Prof. Bell, the in.
spector Of High schools for the state,
shows that one out Of every 100000 who
go no farther than the graded schools
makes marked success in life; while
one out Of every 500 who go through
High school, even though he does not
go to college, reaches the same degree Of
success. In other words the boy who
goes through High school instead Of
stopping after the eight grade multi
plies his chances of success by 200
These are certainly figures worth the
consideration Of every parent and every
ambitious boy and girl.
The new classes organized which were
not running the first semester are book
keeping, Commercial Arithmetic, Eng
ligh History, Arithmetic and Normal
Training class for members of the high.
er classes who expect to become teachers
without first taking work in higher
school. This~olsss aside from taking
some regular work in regard to the
theory Of teaching will visit the classes
OF the regular teachers in the city schools
and secure some actual experience in
teaching under good supervision. This
plan has proven of untold value to many
young teachers in places where it has
been carried out and it is believed that
the work here will be no exception.
The literary societies in the High
school will give their regular programs
on Friday afternoon.
In spite Of the storm on Saturday
good sized crowd gathered at the Ar
mory hall and were rewarded by witness
sing two very interesting games OF bas-
ket-ball. The regular teame showed
that it is finding its ability by debating
a good second team 63 to 2. The teaU.
is now in a condition to make a good
showing against any High school team.
The best Of the teams could not run
away with the boys and the team that
beats them will need to work. The work
Of Frank Morrison at forward and Ray
mond Keleher at guard was especially
good. All Of the boys were into the
game but some lacked the dash and sur
ity shown by Frank and Raymond. The
game between the smaller boys resulted
in score OF 8 to 6 in favor OF Everett
McCoy's team.
On Friday night Of this week a game
will be played at the Armory hall with
the High school team from Golden. Two
girls teams Of the local High school will
also play a game during the evening.
Admission for both games 80 cents.
