Opposes Women Judges.

A writer In one Of the Eastern pa.
pers says that it Is a mistake to think
that women judges could do better
work in the juvenile courts. He is the
secretary of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children in New
York and ought to be able to form an
opinion on the subject, and his con-
clusion from facts, not theory" he
says, rs that girls would rather take
a man than a woman into their con-
fidence and female Judge in juve-
nile court would be as unsuccessful as
ornamental. Women in the construct
i've part of the work, he thinks. are
not successful.

ALL'S WELL

~ RATIFYING activity IS reported IN
IL the Los Angeles real estate mar
" ket. There has been a brisk de-
mand for properties of all kinds, and
many sales and exchanges were made.
AS long as building activities are brisk
in this city there is not the slightest
ground for worry over the future. In
every community there are always
croakers who ask dismally, What
about next year," But sensible people
who have lived long enough to have
wisdom teeth notice that in the ma
iority of cases when next year comes
it is a "happy new year" The fire.
uuency with which gloomy anticipa-
tions are put to scorn reminds us of the
good old hymn addressed to timid
Christians, and advising them to take
comfort. for the clouds they so much
dread are big with mercies and will
break in blessings DER their head"
Prosperity is a permanent guest in Los
Angeles. The outlook is bright. We
have not much patience with pessi-
mism and pessimists, and of all places
in the United States Los Angeles has
least excuse for them. Life here is
like the ideal married life described
by Grover Cleveland in a moment of
poetic inspiration as lone grand, sweet
song" The population of Los Angeles
is constantly being recruited, not only
by very large birth rate, which ex-
ceeds the death rate, but by constant
new corners from all parts of the
United Statesmen, women and chill
dren who may be counted among the
best people of the United States. They
represent the highest types of Ameri-
can citizenship. Los Angeles knows
almost nothing of certain ignorant and

DISORDERLY DUDS

A PROSECUTING ATTORNEY in
"A Taft's state has been trying to in
"a vent a reasonable and legal pre-
text for attacking and abolishing the
drectore gown. He thinks it is I'M
constitutional, but cannot find any re-
corded precedent for taking this stand.
At the same time, he says gravely he
does not see how he can prosecute any
woman for wearing the much dis
cussed garment. AS way out of the
dilemma of conscience in which Of
ficials may find themselves If the new
gests that the wearer of a directoire
gown might be arrested on charge of
disorderly conduct. STILL" he adds,
"even then I do not see how she could
be prosecuted as long as she was con-
Quoting herself in a lawful manner.
And the wearing of a directoire gown
cannot be construed as masquerading
in mems clothes
The suggestion that clothes may con-
stitute disorderly conduct will be well
coined eagerly by many sufferers from
the sartorial and dressmaking atroci-
ties which abound in every crowded
center of civilization. Some garments
shrek discordantly. Others excite a
spirit of combativeness. Others induce
gone feeling at the pit of the
stomach. A person with true eye for
color may find himself compelled to
wear smoked glasses, while the ex-
tremely fastidious may have to wear
binders in self-defense. The gentle
man from Ohio is correct. Certain
styles of dress may be nothing more
nor less than varieties of disorderly
conduct.

A MARTYR

TN the interest of humanity, a man
is being murdered slowly in New
Il York At each stage of the tedious
killing an investigation of his condition
will be made, and if he retains con-
seriousness the last flicker of intelli-
gence may cause him to smile over the
reflection that he will be immortal in
the records of science and will live for
ever as a celebrated case"
This is the first time our civilization
has deliberately slaughtered a man in
order to help the race. There have
been weird stories of continental Epro-
pean experiments, but Christian Celtic
Saxondom has been squeamish over the
vivisection of animals, and it dis
countenanced the dissection of the dead
for such a long time that it was only
comparatively recently that subjects"
began to be supplied regularly to surgi-
cal experimenters and demonstrators.
The vivisection of a human being for
the sake of experiment has never been
attempted, or if it has news of it has
never been allowed to reach the public.
The New York experiment is as grew
somely cold blooded as any imagined
by Edgar Allan Poe. Frank Merritt, a
middle-aged man, broken down in for
tune, was at one time prosperous
bookkeeper in a western state. His wife
and son died of tuberculosis, The once
prosperous business man lost hope. He
became a tramp. Two weeks ago he
applied to the Salvation Army head
quarters in New York for lodging. He
was sent to the army hotel. There he
said he was tired of life and willing to
die in the cause of science. He offered
IN become a tuberculosis ease" "A
doctor was found who was willing
to inoculate him with the GERM After
the operation the disease entered the
victims system, and 1t has made suc1
rapid progress that the sufferer soon
will be in an advanced stage. If the
physicians find a way of arresting the
progress of the disease, if they succeed
in CURING the patient, much gooo
will have been accomplished. But there
is little prospect of this. 1t looks as II
they had only succeeded in killing him
Therefore what good result has beer
achieved? Every one knows that tuber'
cllosis is infectious, that patient con
tracts it, that virulent germ causes
it, Why destroy a man to demonstrate
facts already known to science? II
however, the physicians succeed in kill
ing the germ instead of the patient
medical science will have scored an
other triumph. So, perhaps after all
it may turn out that the experiment
| was worth While.

NOT A REACTIONARY

TOHN HAYS HAMMOND is favored
by many Republicans for nomina-
y ton for vice president. They think
he is the eligible candidate, and the
least likely to be hurt by adverse criti-
cism. AS he has never participated in
politics in the United States, he has
neither made any political enemies nor
has he entered into entangling alliances.
Owing to his equipment and record as
an expert mining man, familiar with
western conditions and industries, he
would no doubt be more suitable to
western ideas and ideals than men like
Fairbanks. Cortelyou and others who
in the west would be looked on as
strictly reactionary.
The fact that Mr.. Hammond is a
native son of California would also
be considered a strong recommends
ton.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
SPOOK FINANCE!

TT WE are to Judge by the proceed
ines at the Bartnett trial in san
u Francisco, financiers continue 10
+ol,e nostmortem interest in mum
dane affairs and their hearts are with
their treasures on earth. 1t is claimed
that the president and other officers OF
the California Safe Deposit and Trust
company were controlled by the spooks
of Law Gould, Coils P. Huntington and
James G. Fair.
This should help people to take
common sense view of spirltuahshi'
We think If the mystery were removed
from the spook business 1t would not
INSPIRE feelings of reverence. why
mercenary old wretch who fleeced the
nublic while he was alive should be
regarded with superstitious terror after
he is dead cannot be explained reason
ably. If the ghosts of the departed
vyere in the habit of revisiting the
elimpses of the moon. the rascais
would call along with the saints. IN
decd in one of the oldest books OF the
bible there is a description of the IN
fermiQg1nR OF SdlHlS elilu SiiiiANAS ~
High Court. If we are to grant for
moment there is a word of truth IN
the pretences that disembodied lntein-
eencies can make communications 10
mortal men we must be sensible about
If and learn to discriminate between
good ghosts and bad. If we don't we
will get into trouble like the San Fran
cisco financiers, who seem to have been
fooled by the ghosts of Gould. Hunt
ineton and Fair. If these illustrious
spirits had helped the bankers we
would have thought there was nothing
but fake in the spiritual pretences ad-
vanced in connection with the case. AS
the trio did exactly what might have
been anticipated, perhaps they really
did communicate" with their dupes
the bank officials, and may be enjoying
the co1nmotion, worry, sorrow and
trouble they have caused. Whether the
bank officials or their friends the fren-
zied financial ghosts are to be blamed
the affair is equally reprehensible
We wish the spooks of deceased bill
lionaires would mind their own bust
ness, if they have any, and woulc
skinny on their own side"

WHY DOES NOT PROHIBITIONS
DEAL WITH EXISTING FAcTs?'

LOS ANGELES, June 10.--[Editor
Herald: The letter by Mr.. Clark
raises other questions of even greater
immediate interest than that of what
economists call the "unearned incre-
ment" or the opportunities that those
who have money enjoy of buying up
that which the moneyless class must
have.
Here in this city we are on the eve
of another prohibition campaign, and
all the resources of eloquence are be-
ing strained by the well-to-do to show
the working class that If they would
only give up their extravagant drink
ing habits all would be prosperous.
1t seems never to occur to these peo-
pie that the workers thoroughly UNI
derstand today that the fortunes so
characteristic of our times are not due
to economy but to getting an undue ad-
vantage of others and thereby levying
tribute on them, and that the workers
grin derisively when advised to
economy by persons living in the style
common to the non-working class.
Why do not the Prohibitionists face
this position? Is it that they are
mentally dishonest or that, belonging
to the apprehension their leaders
are nearly all ministers--they are blind
merely because they do not want to
see? H. L. OGILVIE.
