PUNCHING" THE STATE

A fitting telegram was sent to the
| legislature by members of the confer
ence representing the consolidation
commission and the directors of the
chamber of commerce. The dispatch
indicated the conditions on which Los
Angeles would favor $3,000000 appro-
priation by the state for San Fran
cisco's proposed worlds fair in 1913.
Los Angeles will approve that appro-
priatior provided 1.-The city of San Fran
cisco contributed $3,OOOO00 to be paid
and expended on the same terms and
at the same times and in the same
amounts as the states contribution of
equal amount; and further, that the bill
increasing the pay Of common labor to
SO per day does not become law"
The citizens of Los Angeles will in
dorse that proposition unanimously
trick of Stealing the thunder" of Los
Angeles in the worlds fair project, this
city is willing to aid San Francisco in
it's enterprise. But Angelenos believe
in the heathen saying that "the gods
help those who help themselves" San
Francisco seems to have warped that
saying to mean that the gods smile on
those who help themselves to the prop
erty of others.
San Francisco has launched worlds
exposition project without putting up
a cent Of its own money. 1t wants the
state and the federal government to
supply all the funds. so far as appears
thurs far. At least, the purpose seems
to be the cinching of $S,Oo0.OOO from the
tax funds of the state for exposition
exploiting purposes, the state to take
the chance of its money being held up
for other San Francisco purposes, after
the manner in which the surplus relief
funds were 'pinched"
The caustic conditions imposed by
Los Angeles representatives regarding
the $4,000, 900 appropriation by the state
is just right, so far as it goes. As an
additional condition, however, The Her
aid suggests that the support proffered
by Los Angeles shall not be given un-
til the $2,50oO00 of surplus relief funds,
as reported, is returned pro rata to it's
rightful owners.
Los Angeles has very large interest
in that surplus and the fitting time to
consider the question of aiding San
Francisco in its exposition scheme will
be subsequent to the return Of this
citys share in the said surplus

BATTLE OF THE ORCHIDS
From the noston post.

cultivation Of roses Of all sorts, but par
tcularly In the growing OF new varieties
OF the hot house order.
The real rose leaders Of Boston, how
ever, are Mrs. Henry l.. Foote, whose
picturesque home at Marblehead Is
overrun with the hardy garden roses
she loves so much, and Miss Sarah y.
Fay whose gardener, Michael II. Walsh,
has the largest rose growing estab-
lishment in the United states at the
Fay place in Woods Hole.
Miss Fay is declared, without excep-
tion, the finest grower Of the hardy
outdoor rose among all of Boston's So
ciety women, and the Fay roses are
known throughout the world.
The Lady Fay rambler rose very lux
uriant and pink in color, is as famous
abroad as 1t is here.
Miss Fay does, in fact, for the rose,
what Mrs. Gardner does for the orchid,
and both women stand at the head of
the women exhibitors every year when
the horticultural hall throws open Its
doors to a beauty loving public.
Mrs. Gardeners Vegetables
But to Mrs. Gardner alone belongs the
unique crdit of being the only society
women in or out of Boston to diverge
into the realm of vegetable raising, and
on the particular occasion when she de-
| parted from the beaten path and en-
| tered herself as a raiser of fine vege-
| tables, her brussels sprouts we're so ex-
| tremely large and remarkably fine that
they were unanimously awarded spe-
! cial silver medal.
! 1t Is to the impetus and encourage
ment given the orticultural society by
! these women who devote much time
! and much money in promoting the
| beautiful that the organization owes
much of its success.
A few days ago Stephen Weld was
chosen its president, and he has al
ready formulated plans for even better
! displays than ever before.

THE RAID OF THE SKY PATROL

(Being an aerial episode of the Anti

Aeronauts once upward shot
In an aeroplane.
To seek safe and quiet spot
Where spying would be vain,
And where Dame Chance her best and

They tried aerofaro first
And poker toward the end.
But soon some flycops as they flew,
In their aerotram,
Were told to raid the gamester crew
BY an aerogram
They're playing high" the message
"At least a mile or two"
Aeroelubs the flycop clan

Though otherwise the flycops planned,
The gamblers flew atop;
They dropped a dozen bags of sand,
Then, not content. they further tried
To spoil the flycops looks
BY fishing for them DER the side,
With anchors as their hooks.
At last the laws aerostRt
Was hooked by one deft cast,
But ere they knew where they were at

LOS ANGELES SHOULD
CORRECT THESE EVILS

PASADENA, Feb. 27.-tEditor Her
add: While the condition Of the streets
in Los Angeles is being justly crlti-
cised, | would like to call attention to
other matters that seem to need looking
into and correcting by the proper
authority, and ask why the car service
of the whole city should be paralyzed
for from two to three hours whenever
a fire occurs like that on Spring street
yesterday? Was it necessary that the
cars Of Broadway, Main, Second and
Third streets should be stopped run
ming because of hose laid across the
tracks, or an engine standing upon
them in these streets, fully a thousand
feet removed from the fire? If so, then
1t shows a pressing need of more fire
hydrants, with an equal number on
both sides of a car street in the busi-
ness section, and no hydrant should be
placed nearer than twenty feet of the
intersection of a cross street corner.
Yesterday 1 noticed an engine taking
water from the hydrant at Third and
Main streets, stationed fully ten feet
out from the curb abreast of the
hydrant, with a "leg" on two tracks,
thereby blocking ten lines of cars. Had
1t been placed one foot nearer the curb
the Main street lines would have been
unobstructed, and moved three feet
south the Third street lines would not
have been blocked at this point. Must
the people of a whole city and the
suburban towns stand and gaze while
the firemen battle with a fire, like
Joshua's sun?
would also respectfully ask
why a contractor is permitted to
fence off the entire sidewalk when re-
laying a new one, compelling people to
take to the street, walking through
mud and water to get around it? Yet
this was done in two places on Main
street during the whole week of rain
last month.
And why, may ask, are street cars
permitted to stop with their tenders
crossing the crosswalks? Is not the
fender part of the car? Or through
fear Of it must pedestrian forever keep
jumping for his life like a turkey on a
hot plate whenever he or she attempts
to cross the street?
Are we not entitled to feel certain
sense of safety in making this journey
as to when and where an approaching
car will come to a halt?

ENOUGH TO DRIVE HIM TO DRINK

Learned men who discussed the dan
gerous influences of Imperialism upon
the American people at the recent
science convention, in Providence, over
looked one bet in renver. The water
cure" practiced upon Filipinos by
American soldiers, has been introduced
into the domestic life of the United
States. This barbarity is directly
traceable, say the Denver police, to the
policy of Imperialism.
Patroman Kersten was called the
other day to the home of James
Mickens, a meek little man, weighing
less than 1875 pounds. Mrs. Mickens,
who carries an even hundredweighr
more than her husband, told the officer
Mickens had been abusing her.
The officer found Mickens hog tied
and helpless on. the kitchen floor,
guarded by Mrs. Mickens' 14-year-old
son, who, according to the husband, had
bound him with a clothesline while Mrs.
Mickens sat upon him. GingerIy the
policeman united the rope and let up
what he supposed was dangerous man.
Mickens could hardly stand. To a police
surgeon later he said:
Il was sitting contentedly by the
window smoking my pipe when my dear
wife accused me Of having taken
drink. denied the charge, so she
scratched me and threwime against the
hot stove, knocking off the reservoir and
sprinkling me with hot water. Faillng
to discover the expected whisky bottle,
she became enraged, knocked me down.

A MRAGHR CONCESSION

The report that the railways would
grant a concession Of 10 cents per hum
dred pounds on orange freightage
proves. on close examination, to be
much less pleasing than It seemed. In
stead Of applying generally to ship
ments of oranges it really does not af-
feet more than 20 per cent Of the out.
put.
The concession as announced reads
that the 10 cents freight reduction ap.
plies to "all points east Of Denver and
west of the Missouri river" A glance
at the map shows that the territory
outlined comprises only a small frac-
tion of the orange buying districts OF
the United States. Iowa, Minnesota
and about half of the two Dakotas liz
east Of the Missouri river. All the
great fruit marts are beyond the limits
Of the reduced rate.
The report that the orange growers
Of Southern California would be gain
ers by the concession to the extent OF
at least S500,OO0 was far above the
mark. The Redands shippers, for in.
stance. figure that their aggregate gair
will be about $4,000. The RedIands
district is second only to that of River.
side in the magnitude of it's orange
shipments II that estimate is correct
the total gain for Southern California
by reason of the concession, is not like
ly to exceed one-third of 100000.
The concession applies, of course
only to the portion of this seasons
crop that has not yet been shipped.
1t is noticeable, also, that the railway
companies make the reduction applic-
able only to the present crop, reserving
the right to restore the old rate if they
find their experiment unsatisfactory.
There is very wide difference be-
tween what the orange growers got
and what they wanted. They asked for
q reduction of 15 cents per hundred
pounds on all orange shipments to the
east. The interstate commerce COM
mission recognized the justness of the
claim and declared that there ought to
be a concession of at least 10 cents per
hundred on all such shipments.
But the concession is an entering
wedge which gives ground for hope that
1t may lead to more substantial bene-
fits.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

The way Is cleared now for the nosi
important step ever taken by the city
Of Los Angeles. The plan Of consol
idation with san Pedro has been LAID
upon the shelf for time, projects foi
ennexing contiguous territory hav,
been voted down and group of bono
propositions have been deferred. Th'
main track Of the city's prosperity 4
clear and the greatest proposition evei
presented in its interest now has 9
clear right of way.
The election to authorize the issue
OF bonds wherewith to finance the
owens river water project is the chief
focus Of public attention. All other
matters Of municipal concern become
subordinate and comparatively OF
minor consequence while the main issue
is pending.
There is no cause for doubt about
the outcome Of the bond election, in
volving S2S,OO0,OOO, but a degree of
anxiety will be felt until the result
Ia officially announced. 1t will be de-
sirable in the interval before the cleo
ton to make all the points relating
- A. ko,a g.s,,a co r1oip TINT M
voter can fail to comprehend them.
The danger of misunderstanding
in this matter is instanced by certain
objections made to voting on the whole
sum as a lump instead of in lots to
supply funds as needed. The notion
seems to prevail, to some extent, that
there will be risk in having so vast
a sum of money in stock. Well-in-
formed voters understand, of course,
that there is no such risk, but some
voters lack @ctivity of comprehension.
While the purpose is to make pro-
vision for allS the money required for
the great water plant the bond issue
will be in the form of available money
only as it is required for construction.
Another intimation, that the vast ex-
penditure will open a floodgate of
graft, also is baseless, for the reason
that the safeguards surrounding the
work will at least reduce grating to
very small proportions.
A strenuous effort should be made to
poll the largest possible vote for the
bond issue. The mere carrying of the
proposition by fair vote Is not
enough. The affirmative vote should
comprise the whole voting strength of
the city, as evidence of public unanim-
ity on the proposition and inciden-
tally to strengthen confidence in the
bonds in the eastern bond markets.

AMERICA AND GERMANY

Frequently allusions are made to the
relations existing between the United
states and Germany; and it is said,
the kaiser is deeply interested in the
subject. 1t seems singular that this
matter should give the kaiser any con-
Germ, because there is no interest that
he has set his heart on that is in con-
fiict with American policy. This Is
manifest from the state of public senti-
ment, which leans toward Germany in
the most friendly manner. That ma
ton may have troubles of it's own be-
fore long, but out of them, the people
OF this country will hope, it will emerge
stronger and greater than ever. This
republic thinks we'll of England, of
France, of Japan, and kindly of all
the nations, but of none more warmly
than 1t does of Germany
We notice in a Berlin dispatch that
Germany thinks more kindly of this
country because of the growing an
tagonism between us and Japan. The
piece of news is simply a flight of the
imagination. This country feels as
kindly toward Japan as it does toward
Germany, and that is a good deal.
What has Japan done that should irri-
tate America? This nation is certainly
too great to envy it the progress it
has made. 1t should be with nations
as it should be with ndividuals-think
up the numerous grounds there are
why they should be neighborly and kind
to each other-to think less of their
navies and armies and more of their
Bibles and religion. That is the road
to friendship, to peace. to justice, and
to these points nations will always ar
rive by that route. 1t is only when
some awkward or high-strung diplomat
misleads us that envy and i'll will ap-
pear and war is talked about-Ohlo
