Tonight will witness the great fire works spectacle, "The Falls of Mag ara,' at the White City. It is the con- ception In fire of this great wonder of nature of Manager Samuel Speck, who says he will even outdo the brilliant "Deluge of Fire of last season.

CIVIL SERVICE SHOULD SERVE

Civil service fails to serve in the
vitality important line of providing for
police protection in Los Angeles. That
is the essence of Chief Kerns conclu-
sion, and it seems to be fully supported
by facts.
In response to the crying demand for
more police officers the council made
provision several months ago for an ad-
ditiOn to the force of sixty-five men.
After weeks of effort to find men COM
petent to pass the civil service exam
ination nearly the required number
was accepted and sworn in. Subse-
quently a further addition of fifty men
was provided for. Then, says the chief,
Eve thought we began to see our way
clear to properly patrolling the city and
giving officers to sections which up to
that time had been without officers"
But what was the result? OF the sec
ond installment of men for which pro-
vision had been made, the chief says,
| I'VE have been unable to get these
men, principally because those who
have applied have failed to pass the
/ civil service examination"
Now The Herald reiterates former ex-
| pressions of opinion regarding it's con-
/ fidence in the usefulness of the civil
| service system and in the earnest ef-
forts of the commission to obtain the
/ best possible results from the system.
/ Success is the test of merit in most
/ human affairs however and it surely
/ is the proper test in the matter of ef-
ficiency in the police department.
/ IT is inconceivable that this cosmo-
politan city of more than a quarter mill
| lion inhabitants does not afford a suf-
/ hclont number of available men i'm all
respects competent for police service
There are plenty of such men, but, as
/ iutmated by the chief they are barred
! from the force by failure to pass tho
/ civil service ordeal.
The source of this dilemma is easily
found. The class of men who are fit to
( bo policemen and who are eager for the
/ position are not, as a rule far ad-
yauocl in education They may have
/ ina them JUST the "stuff' requisite for
/ the police service, but they may fail
/ I'm attempts to crack some of the hard
nuts handed out to them by the com
| mission.
In view of these facts the logical
remedy for the deadlock appears to be
modification of the ciyil service tests
in respect to applicants for places ON

SAN FRANcIscosS cINcH

A resolution has been introduced IN
the state assembly based on the allega-
tion that several million dollars of the
relief funds have been wrongfully used"
at San Francisco. It is stated that the
governor has been petitioned to have
an Investigation made into the methods
and authority of the corporation whicn
resolution in question calls for "the ap-
pointment Of a special committee of five
members of the lower house to make an
investigation"
There is strong ground for suspicion
that there is an Interior purpose behind
the resolution. The relief committee
at San Francisco is composed, generally
speaking, of citizens who are above re-
proaCh The proposition to investigate
the operations of the committee by a
group of assemblymeu, no doubt com
posed largely of San Francisco mem-
bers at once suggests desire for an OPP
portunity to grind personal or political
axes.
But as nearly year has passed since
the millions of dollars of relief funds
were poured into the lap of the stricken
city it would seem to be high time for
final disposition of the large surplus
which is understood to be still in the
hands of the committee. An the con-
tributions were made for the specific
purpose of relieving the suffering Incl
dent to the disaster and of providing
temporarily for homeless people of the
poorer class.
All the needs of the unfortunates were
provided for, including support and ac-
commodation for long period subse-
quent to the calamity. After all that
provision was made, however vast
sum of relief money remained. 1t was
reported that the sum amounted to
something more than two million dol
lars at the time when the demand upon
the fund had about ceased, and ques-
tion then arose about the proper dis
posal of the remainder.
If any considerable proportion of the
relief fund still remains it properly be-
longs to the original contributors. That
the matter was so regarded was made
evident when the intimation came from
San Francisco that the residue would be
used for general city purposes, per-
manent hospital buildings or something
of the sort.
1t is for the donors to decide what
shall be done with the unusued portion
of their contribution. Unless they agree
to assist the rich city of San Francisco
in making permanent Improvements by
donations for that purpose the remain
ing part of the relief fund should be
returned, pro rata, to the various COM
munities from which it came.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-19
BUILD soLIDLY, BUILD RIGHT

In the circumstances connected with
the recent gas explosion we have a
sharp reminder that Los Angeles is not
yet fully developed metropolitan city.
That is to say, there are features still
remaining that recall the pueblo period
Of not long ago. The progress Of evo-
ution from town to city has been so
rapid that traces Of the former state
remain The situation Is like that of a
rapid change act on the stage when the
actors haste causes him to omit a
part Of the attire.
The disaster I'm Second street calls at
tention to the fact that there are peri
lous defects in the safeguarding of life
and property in the line of building
construction and inspection. There
seems to be no reasonable doubt that
blame properly attaches to some person
or persons for the recent explosion and
it's appalling consequences. The fixing
Of culpability will come later. Mean
time 1t is we'll to consider the POSSIBLE
ity that other dangers of like character
ing note of palpablc defects in methods
of construction and inspection of build
ings.
The disaster in the old building in
Second street is warning, in the first
place, that just such danger may lurk
in other old structures. A proper sys-
tenn of building inspection, faithfully
observed would detect such defects as
the rusting Of pipes or of structural
weakness resulting from natural de.
cay. 1t is as important to guard
against such dangers in old buildings
as it is for railway engineers to be
alert in the inspection of old bridges.
But there are striking examples, even
in some buildings of recent construc-
tion, of failure to provide proper safe
guards for human life. There are apart
ment houses and boarding houses, COM
prisng several stories, that would be
likely to prove death traps in case of
Confagration. Strangers who are ia
miliar with conditions in the solidly
built eastern cities notice with alarm
the peril that such structures invite.
And along with the danger of f1imsy
construction are the mere apologies
for fire escapes that appear in many
cases.
The disaster caused by the gas ex-
plosion is not the only warning within
the last year or two concerning the
necessity for revised methods in the
building department. Nothing but good
luck. for instance, has prevented the
destruction by fire of more than one
dangerous structure, with peril to many
lives. There are dozens of large and
fully occupied rooming houses and the
like in Los Angeles that would be con-
Gemned on the instant under the ordi-
nances of any large eastern city.
Los Angeles makes a splendid display
of modern architecture, rivaling the
best examples witnessed in other cities
AS before remarked, however, there are
many traces of pueblo characteristics
remaining as connecting links between
the old era and the new.
We all remember the advice given to
Los Angeles by Secretary Shaw-"Build
for the future; build big" To that The
Herald offers this addendum-And build
solidly; build right.
