TEACHERS TOUR

Mt or much time remains for record
~ ing your choice Of candidates for
~ the teachers tour. It Is as yet
"anybodys contest" What better
Christmas present can you make to
your childrens favorite teacher than
enough votes to entitle her to place
among the twelve who will make the
trio to the Alaska Yukon-Pacif1c ex-
position as guests of The Heraldf This
exposition will be held at Seattle,
Wash, from June 1 to October Id, 1903,
and to visit It will be an experience OF
great educational value, especially to
those who can give others the benef1t
of their observations.
AS guests of The Herald twelve
teachers will be sent to the exposition.
The Herald wishes its readers to name
the twelve, and provides an easy
method by which this may be done.
The terms on which votes may be cast
are given in the announcement Of the
contest.
Six school teachers are being selected
by the votes of our subscribers from
Los Angeles county. three from the city
of Los Angeles and three from the
county at large outside Of the city, one
from San Bernardino county. one from
Orange county, one from Santa Bar
bara county. one from Riverside county,
one from Kern county and one from
Ventura county
This group of twelve teachers VIII
form The Herald party at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition, which Will
cost $4,000, 900 and will be the greatest
enterprise of it's kind which the west
ern coast has ever attempted. Califor-
MIA will have a fine building at the ex-
position, and no doubt The Herald
teachers will be able to report that the
California exhibit is the best of all.
The entire exposition, however, Will be
one In which all residents Of the Pa
cific slope country, without regard to
state divisions, may we'll take pride. 1t
exemplifes the most modern and recent
growth in American history. Much of
the country represented at the exposi-
ton was unknown, untraversed, unex-
plored until about the time of President
Cleveland's first administration. Its
growth and development have been
marvellous.

BIG FEsT1v1rY

n NE of the most important Of the
engagements which Santa Claus
~ will fill will be at The Herald's
Christmas festivity for boys and girls.
Preparations are being made for a cell
ebration on large scale. This is neces-
sary on account Of the greatly increased
scope of the enterprise When The Her
aid proposed to feed and entertain
certain number OF boys and girls who
might otherwise have a dull or cheer
less Christmas, there was an immediate
response from the kind-hearted people
OF Los Angeles.
Simpson auditorium and the Y. M. c.
A. building will both be used for the
dinner and entertainment, and The
Herald's Santa Claus gathering will be
the biggest Christmas party in Cali
fornia. Many good-hearted people have
not only contributed goods or sub
scribed sums of money, but have come
forward to help In the work. Helpers
will be needed on Christmas day. Vol
unteers are wanted.
Special requests are made for clothes
pin dolls. All the women who read The
Herald know how to make clothespin
dolls. We would like to give doll to
every girl who attends the festival.
But the presents are not restricted to
the doll kind. Every variety of useful
article will be welcomed. We wish to
mention one in particular. There are
many boys and girls of Los Angeles
who must wear bad shoes. not at all
suitable for wet or cold weather, or
go without shoes. Let's shoe them.
The Herald's Santa Claus managers
are certain they can use hundreds Of
pairs of shoes. Our climate as rule is
mild and lovely. but on some Of these
mornings the air is eager and nipping,
and you may have seen ice. This is
not a usual but an unusual Christmas
condition in Los Angeles. but it is liable
to happen, and this year it is hap
pening. The winter back east has set
In with uncommon severity, and prob
ably that has something to do with
conditions here. 1t is important that
the children OF Los Angeles should be
well and warmly shod this winter. So
send shoes to Santa Claus. He will
guarantee to find wearers for them.

Los Angeles is suffering from its an
nual attack by the raiders, the unde-
sirable citizens from the east who flock
hitler in order to practice in our salu-
brious climate their professions Of bur-
glary, hold-up, sneak theft or whatever
it may be. We wish the effete and
frost bitten part of the country would
keep it's elite to itself. The eastern
police should regulate the hobo, yegg
and craftsman traffic. Then our local
police would not be overworked. Some
Of our best officers have sacrificed their
lives in the attempt to protect Los
Angeles property from the depreda-
lions of eastern blackguards and scum
of the earth.

WOULD GIVE NO INCENTIVE
TO INDUSTRY AND AMBITION

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17-IEditor
Herald: "Vera Fidella" in the letter
box of today's Herald states that she
agrees with me that mothers should
be better informed in order to give
proper moral training to their sons.
Why does she always say sons2 Why
not daughters occasionally? Women
are no more moral than men, from. an
ethical standpoint, for when she learns
to avoid 1.-The stern law of nature" her
morality is no stronger than mans
She says that moral courage is more
admissible than physical courage. This
is true, but it is not more popular,
therefore 1t is no argument to the lover
of popularity.
In the last paragraph Is statement
that what is sin for one sex is for
the other. This is positively true, and
/ believe that any argument that they
cannot be equal in the conduct of life
is foolish, and when put to the test
will be shattered into smithereens.

JUVENILE CRIME

TROM New York is reported an in
crease in juvenile delinquency
Il which gives food for thought, be-
cause similar symptoms of social de-
generacy have been observed in other
parts of the country. There may be
various causes contrbutory to the gen.
eral result, but the chief cause is
poverty. The only forms of crime
which are suggested to the minds of
youngsters who are chatting against the
restrictions or deprivations of poverty
are crude. They do not know how to
become high fnanciers. Some of them
will no doubt learn in time, unless pre-
vailing conditions are changed, and it
becomes impossible to acquire riches
by injuring or exploiting ones neigh
Dor citizens.
Not only has there been much sug-
gestion in recent articles and talk on
the subject of frenzied finance. but
there is a constant suggestion in the
daily spectacle of pampered children of
the rich, for any one of whom enough
is spent in toys and clothing to sup
port several poor families. 1t is not a
crime to be rich, and 1t is not a crime
to be the child of a rich man. But
neither is it a crime to be poor, and 1t
is outrageous that the child of the poor
citizen should be Disseminated against
on account of the poverty of his parent.
There is no more justice in such a pre-
posterous arrangement than there is in
the ukase of a Russian car condemn
ing to servitude in the Siberian mines
men, women and children convicted OF
singing the Marseillaise and protesting
against their condition Of serfdom.

JUSTICE AND MERCY

NY GRANTING probation to John
X Murray, a convicted highwayman.
~ Judge Jamison of the superior
court has shown a quality Of mercy
which will endear him to all his fell
low citizens who appreciate the diff
ference between Justice and ven
geance.
In Judge Jamison's words, the cause
of Murray's downfall is the old story
Intoxicating nquors-and the crime
for which he was convicted was COM
mitted while he was under the influ-
ence of liquor" A man who drinks
liquor is responsible for drinking liq-
uor. but he is not responsible for the
liquor traffic, and we are glad Judge
Jamison showed he was an earnest
student of social questions by taking
into account society's crime against
John Murray as well as John Muir
rays crime against society. The judges
common sense and clemency, more
over, saved to a dependent and inno-
cent family the protection of the
biSau"lhhcA' W winch lASJ 1AS SA7
titled. "Murray's young wife over
whelmed the court with tears and
thanks when the decision was an
nounced. His 4-year-old son and baby
in-arms were with their mother in
court"
Can anyone question the statement
that in adopting the course he took
Judge Jamison followed the highest
Authority of whom there is any rec
ord? Can anyone, whether Christian
or agnostic, Jew or Gentle, doubt for
a moment that the words of the Mas
ter Of Christianity to such a culprit
as Murray would have been: go ane
sin no more?"

With remarkable generosity, which
will doubtless attract worldwide at

pension men who were teamsters dur

were teamsters during the war of the
