Wilmingto on Broohlyn-No game
Charley Smith at last overcame his hard
luck yesterday. when he toppled over the
Clevelands in a fast game by the score
of 8 to Q Charley has pitched splendid
ball all spring. but during the games
something would crop up that would carry
victory TO the opposition at the last mo-
ment. and il looked for a time yesterday
as though this history was going TO repeat
Itself a twirler that can hold Cleveland
to four hits is certainly going some. and
Smith did this yesterday. the celebrated
Lajoie making three of them and Turner
the other.
Manager La ioie sent out his star twirler,
Addie Joss. with a record of nine victories
and no defeats. to puzzle the Nationals
but the local boys were hungry for a
right handler and they went after the star
pitcher like starving dog after a bone
Joss lasted six innings but was only hit
for five safetes. and was taken out as
Lajoie substituted Hickman at the bat at
q time when a hit would have created
havoc. as all the corners were occupied
'Hick made great try. driving long
fly into left field, but Ganley was Johnny
on-tbe-spot and captured the ball. making
three out. Dusty Rhoades. who we
Inadvertently classed as a Southpaw yes
terday, took Joss place on the rubber in
the sixth inning. and he was easier than
his predecessor.
Exciting Finish.
The Clevelands had been una BILE to get
man across the plate for eight innings.
but in the ninth something was doing for
both teams that furnished a most exciting
finish for the spectators.
Lajoie started matters with a drive to
left his third. and little Cotton Top
Turner brought him over the plate with
fine double along the left-fed foul line.
Mig Clarke then flied to Pickering and
Turner had gone back to second when the
right felder's throw went awry and he
again made a try for third and got there
Bemis was sent in to bat for Birmin CHA am
and Harry responded with a sacrifice fly
to Pickering on which Turner scored
tying up the game. Hinchman closed the
inning with a fly 20 Ganley.
The Nationals then came in to- do or
die and as a result they did the trick to
the great glorification of Jerry Freeman.
Delehanty died on a roller to Turner but
Pickering lined a clean single into left
center. Shipke followed with a neat sac
rifice and Street looked so dangerous that
he was given base on balls. Big boy
Freeman has been a toy for the left hand
ers for the past week and he evluently
got tired of playing the goat" as he
laced one of Mr.. Rhoades' slow curves on
line into right and Pickering beat

TEACHERS TOUR

TT WELVE teachers selected by the
people will visit the Alaska Yu-
~ kon-Pacific exposition which will
be held at Seattle, Wash. from June
to October 15. 1909, The Herald Will ar
range and superintend the trip, but
The Herald does not care to assume
the responsibility of choosing twelve
teachers from the big army of success
full and worthy workers who constitute
the teaching force of the territory in
cluded in the contest. Six school teach
ers will be chosen from Los Angeles
county. three from the city of Los An
geles and three from the county at
large outside the city.
One viii be selected from San Ber-
nardino county, one from Orange coun-
ty, one from Santa Barbara county, one
from Riverside county, one from Kern
county and one from Ventura county.
AS our advertisement says, "No oppor-
tunity has been presented whereby so
much pleasure and benefit may be de-
who are shaping the destiny Of the ma
ton"
Our friends will doubtless take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to help
pay a debt of gratitude due to the
teachers. They form the most self
sacrificing class in the community.
Their work requires most careful prep
aration, and they must study constant
ly in order to keep up with the ever
increasing requirements of modern edu-
cation. A teachers life is practically
divided between studying and impart-
ing knowledge.
The proposed excursion is not alto
gether a pleasure trip" because it
combines instruction with pleasure.
But it is an easy and agreeable manner
of acquiring a store of information
which will be of great use to the
schools and school children of Los An
geles. We have no doubt the twelve
teachers who make the trip to the ex-
position will come back with renewed
health and with a greatly increased
store of knowledge, of which the boys
and girls of Los Angeles and our ad-
mirable school system will receive the
benefit.

HYGIENE

IF the city council would give heed
to the testimony of medical men
Il of the caliber of those who spoke
before the City club recently-one of
whom was the authority whose word
with regard to sanitary matters in Los
Angeles should almost be equivalent to
law-there would be less disposition to
bubble and squabble over the garbage
question, and procrastinate indefinitely
it's settlement.
OF all the extraordinary, fantastic,
unreasonable and disgusting methods
of disposing of garbage that has yet
been called to the attention of the long
suffering public that of feeding it to the
hogs is "easily worst"
DIR. Kress, secretary of the public
health commission of the State Medical
association, says the practice Of dis
posing Of garbage for the purpose of
feeding hogs is insanitary and a menace
to public health. Think of hogs nour-
ished on the offal and refuse of a great
cityl We hope some arrangement will
be made soon, by which sane and
sanitary method of disposing Of gar
bage will be adopted. And we hope
the practice of using it for hog feed
will be discontinued Immediately.
Surely when the owners of hogs under
stand they are running a risk of poison
ing an entire community they will
adopt a cleanly method of feeding.
Strictly sanitary nations refuse to eat
hogs flesh, because they realize it may
contain virulent germs. Indeed, there
is hardly a provision of the old Mosaic
law that is not founded upon sanitary
and scientific principles, and for every
thing that is forbidden there Is a good
and sufficient reason. Modern practi-
TONERS have high regard for the wis
dom of Moses, which is of as much
value to the human race today as ever
it was. Our readers unite with us in
expressing the hope that all possible
care will be taken to put Los Angeles
and Los Angeles county on a sound
hygienic basis. Filthy feeding of hogs
and careless keeping of dairy cattle
must be stopped.

HEAVENLY HYOOSTON

A CCORDING to the Houston Daily
"a Post, a newspaper published in a
"A little city in Texas, "Cussing Bob
Evans has declined the offer of a beau
tiful home in Los Angeles. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY difficult for that city to offer
inducements enough for discriminating
people to live there" We do not know
what may be the inducements to dis
eliminating people to live in Houston.
We presume the population of Houston,
which is estimated at 10000, consists al
together of discriminating people; al
though for our part we are inclined to
think they are Disseminated against
rather than discriminating.
1t is because discriminating people
are hocking to Los Angeles from every
part of the Union that the population
is growing at a rate which keeps build
ing contractors busy all the year round.
In the metropolitan district OF Los An
geles there are now 100000 people, and
most OF the heads of families own their
own homes. The climate is heavenly
all the year round from January to De-
cember. We don't need to keep up a
perpetual din about the superiority of
Los Angeles, for people are finding 1t
out for themselves. AS far as Houston
is concerned, we don't understand why
the journalistic roosters should crow,
because every well informed person
knows that when it rains there the
skies precipitate such floods that the
citizens OF Houston have to chain up
their houses to keep them from sailing
away; and when the rains cease (Which
We must admit they sometimes do) the
streets are like hog wallows.
The chief raison d'etre of the Post
is that 1t puts Hyooston on the map
from time to time by its yawps at the
outside world. Without Judd Mortimer
Lewis the Post would remain in de-
served obscurity; without the Post
Houston would enjoy a merited pro-
longed snooze.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-16
SCHOOLS

TT IS a pleasure to be able to record
that the grand jury not only ex-
Il onerates the city board of educa-
tion of any charge OF mismanagement,
but commends its work in caring for
the affairs of the educational institu-
tions of Los Angeles. While discoveries
have been made that there have been
what are technically improper diver
sions of funds, this is due to errors
in bookkeeping. The report said in
closing:
I'm view of the early bond election
to supply additional school funds for
this rapidly growing city, and in the
interests OF education we have gone
into all actions by the board of edu-
cation, especially in their handling of
school funds, and have thoroughly ex-
amined the same, and we find there
has been no misappropriation of school
funds in any manner whatsoever"
Now let every citizen wear the orange
button inscribed, 1--WE WANT MORE
SCHOOLS" and prepare to do his duty
ana permit the rapidly increasing pop
ulation of Los Angeles to have num-
Der Of schools suited to it's needs. We
must make it impossible to have chill
dren crowded out of school in Los An
geles. What can restore a child's
youth? What can take the place of ed
ucation? From the great industrial
centers of the east come tales of the
increase of illiteracy due to the fact
that many children are being sent TO
work in mines, mills and factories
when they should be attending school
When there are not sufficient school
accommodations there is an excuse for
sending children to work before they
are fitted for drudgery. Parents Will
tell you they have hired them out in
order to take them off the streets!
The schools of Los Angeles should have
enough accommodations to take the
children off the Streets" and in this
beautiful, progressive, intellectual city
there should never be the slightest ex-
cuse for illiteracy or for child labor
We need more schools. We must have
them,

PANAMA

4 S WAS expected, President Roose-
ID welt in his latest message has de-
u nounced the stories published with
regard to transactions attending the
purchase Of the Panama canal property
by the United States. With the vigor
of language for which Mr.. Roosevelt is
famous, he says the stories are "scur-
rilous and libelous in character and
false in every particular" He scores
Delavan Smith and the Indianapolis
News, but reserves his most forceful
and merciless language for DR.. Joseph
Pulitzer. who is popularly supposed to
have inspired Hearst and others with
the yellow journal idea which is
responsible for so much trouble in the
United States, but by various philan-
thropies, including the establishment
of a university chair of journalism, has
sought to make amends for any over
zealousness he may have displayed in
gathering news and amassing wealth.
OF DR.. Pulitzer and his paper the
president says: sit is idle to say that
the known character of Mr.. Pulitzer
and his newspaper are such that the
statements in that paper will be be-
lieved by nobody; unfortunately thou
sands of persons are i'll informed in
this respect and believe the statements
they see printed, even though they ap-
pear in a newspaper published by Mr..
Pulitzer
Apparently congress was greatly
tickled by the seriousness with which
the president took the sensational
newspaper stories which were the sub
ject of his complaint, for his caustic
characterization of Pulitzer and the
tribe of yellow journalists was received,
we are told, first with ripples of mer-
riment and then with shouts OF laugh
ter.
In justice to Mr.. Pulitzer it should
be said he has lost or almost lost his
eyesight, and for a long time has been
in feeble health, so it is hardly prob
able he is personally responsible for
the somewhat frenzied course of his
paper with regard to the Panama ca
nal. 1t is generally understood that
the World, owned by Joseph Pulit
zer." is in reality the organ of clique
of powerful eastern capitalists; and If
the attorney general should bring pro-
ceedings against MI. Pulitzer. it is
probable his Wall street "affinities"
will be exposed-which is consum-
nation most devoutly to be wished, es-
pecially if it be true that one of the
most prominent financial millionaire
magnates in the country has a finger
in the pie. 1t will be very joyful If
the Wall street anti-Roosevelt gang is
exposed through proceedings against
poor old Joe. And. as Sairey Camp
would have said. (which the initials
OF one of them are supposed to be
]. p. NJ" George Harvey. once editor
of the World, now editor of Harpers,
knows a good deal about it. If there
is an investigation. he should be put
on the witness stand.

AT THE HOTELS

The hotel registers indicate that the
influx Of eastern visitors continues un-
abated.
Among the many regular winter Wis
itors to Los Angeles are Mr.. and Mrs
]. c. Mordough of Mexico City, who
are stopping at the Alexandria. Mr.
Mordough is we'll known throughout
the Republic of Mexico, where he has
lived many years. He was the first
president of the United States Bank
ing company, an American financial in
stitution which has become one of the
leading banks of the Mexican capital.
Mr.. Mordough has now retired from
active business and passes his time
looking after his many interests In
Mexico and the United States. During
past years he has invested consider
ably in Los Angeles, but 1t is pleasure
rather than business that brings him
here each winter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mordough have been
extensively entertained since their ar
rival here last week. Saturday night
an informal reception was given In
their honor by Mrs. j. Andrews Of 209
West Eighteenth street. The guests
were mostly old friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mordough.
Much to the regret of their many
friends the Mordoughs are leaving Fri
day for Mexico City in order to pass
Christmas with their children.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. N. Davis and
their son, John B. Davis, well known
residents of Houston, Tex, have come
to Los Angeles for a considerable stay
and are located at the Angelus.
Major c. J. Ross and wife of River
side are spending a few days in the
city and are registered at the AleXan-
dria. Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Sanderson,
travellers from London, England, also
