she pondered, the adventure might
have lost its strong element Of excite
ment if her jailer had been unlnter-
estinp, but the most captiOus critic
would have been bound to acknowl'
edge that he was undeniably hand-
some. Beth had already noted the
clear cut features, the skin burnt
brown from exposure to the sun and
winds of heaven showing up in start
ling contrast to the deep blue OF the
ewes. She had already decided that
she liked close-cropped dark heads, on
which the hair, if it had its own way,
would break into curls, but which
tendency was sternly repressed by
brush and brilliantine.
Beth paused to wonder if his eye
lashes were as dark as his hair, and
peeped up to see. She dropped her
head again, her cheeks and prov
aflame. She had seen folks in love
before. In her own short experience
she had learned to recognize the light
that she was enabled to awaken in
men S eyes. But such love as this was
new to her, and, therefore, startling.
1t brought back to her remembrance
sweet visions of a Prince Charming
of whom she had dreamed in the quiet,
gray shade of the old French convent
in which she had been educated; Wis
ions which had melted on a closer ac-
quaintance with the world.
She began to consider the appear

she arrived at her destination. No
stately lady or pretty laughing Aw-

drawing room, but an impetuous young
man who swept her off her feet and

paused in the act. The man was un-

read of the dangers of thwarting
lunatics. If she wished to escape she
must humor this poor mad creature
and leave the house secretly.
She proceeded to humor the poor
mad creature by choosing her prettiest
dinner dress, a French model of silver
tulle and white chiffon embroidered
with red roses, and putting forth all
her powers of fascination.
Across the dinner table, decked
with gold plate and Christmas roses,

OLD SOLDIERS

DISCONTENT among the inmates Of
a soldiers home, expressed as
~ freely and as frequently as dis
content has been expressed in the case
OF Sawtelle, should be inquired into
officially. Should there be an inves-
tigation into the management of the
institution, which claims it is out of
funds and is compelled to cut down
the rations Of inmates, the result may
be a transfer of the management Of
the soldiers homes from special COM
mission TO war department. 1t is
claimed the commission, with head
quarters in New York, is out Of SYM
pathy with Sawtelle.
The old soldiers hope to have the
management of all the homes trans
ferred to the war department. 1t Is
certain the public viii support the vet

for the veterans. They gave some OF
the best years of life to the defense
of their flag, and were prepared TO sac
rifice life itself for the sake of the re-

be first in peace and first in the hearts
of their countrymen. To neglect the

TRULY AWFUL

I SN'T it awful, Mabel. to think of
Mrs. Howard Gould addressing her
Il husband in the following loving
language: "Get out, you little hound"?
Witnesses say she was addicted to
the use of strong language, and the
passage quoted was only a mild sample.
Persons in the station of life occupied
by the Goulds should be examples to
all others. only poor people should be
vulgar enough to quarrel and call each
other names. We all know there is a
prevalent superstition to the effect that
poverty and vulgarity are Siamese
twins. Then why offend our preju-
oices by these shocking revelations of
the intimate life of the golden Goulds?
of the servants hall, sometimes
through court room confessions, have
come other disquieting revelations of
the vulgarity of the rich. Vulgar
wealthy persons should realize and live
up to their responsibility. Mr.. Carne-
gle says they are only the stewards of
their fortunes. But they differ from
other stewards in one respect. They
cannot be bounced. When they mis-
behave their conduct does not impair
their income or cost them their posi-
ton. But when millionaire Joan turns
on millionaire Darby, saying, Get out,
you little hound!" well, as we have al
ready remarked, amt it AW-W-W-
Full, MABEL?

MERCHANT MARINE

TN report issued by the Merchant
Marine league of the United States
Il there is the following passage: "Of
recent years there has been a marked
tendency on the part of American man
ufacturers who have developed an ex-
port trade to establish factories in
Canada or in Great Britain and Ger
many. 1t is something more vital than
lower wages and expenses that has
drawn them thither. Following the ex-
ample of the Standard Varnish COM
pany, a great firm of paint manufac-
turers, A. A. Eberson e. Co. of st.
Louis, recently established a manufac-
turing plant in London. The head of
the firm returned to this country and
was asked why he had thus invested
American capital abroad. Mr.. Eberson
gave this significant answer: Under
existing conditions as to shipping pos
sibilities in the United States 1 believe
there is more money for us to manufac-
ture for export in England than here
You can go to any wharf in London and
see British ships bringing freight from
all ports of the world, and you can send
out your goods from British ports in
those same ships. You can manufac-
ture in the United States and look for
American ships to take your goods and
you do not find them. If you want to
freight by ships you must turn to for
eigners. That's something for the OPP
ponants of the American ship subsidy
bill to think about. 1t is a fact that
has determined more than one Ameri-
can manufacturer to establish plants in
England, for we are not the only ones
going over there
For years the national government,
in pursuit of policy which the his
torian of the future will characterize as
remarkable and which may be pardoned
only on the ground it represented OPP
portunism, deliberately crushed out of
existence the national shipping industry
and drove the flag from the seas.
Imported goods, which our highly
protected industries could not supply,
were brought to the United States by
foreign vessels, and when the highly
plus which he wished to send to some
foreign market (where the price obtain
able was never more than a percentage
of the home price, or when he wished
to fill foreign orders cat foreign prices)
he was compelled to ship his protected
product in a free trade vessel.
A great movement for the restoration
Of the merchant marine was begun in
1904 by the Merchant Marine league of
the United states. In view of CONSOLE
dation, harbor development and the
harbor history of Greater Los Angeles,
it is important the movement for the
restoration of an American mercantile
feet should be supported in this city.
We have built up a fine war fleet. The
nation is justly proud of its great
modern navy. Now let us build up a
great peace fleet, the greatest in the
world.

" pages to full and fair discussion

entitled fittingly The Arena. From its

it's twenty-first half-yearly volume-it
has been conducted with ability and
has BEEN one would say, 1.-The very
style Of magazine that would appeal to
a large proportion of the American

latest number-dated March-June 1903
is somewhat of a curiosity and no
doubt will have a certain fascination
for collectors, ipasmuch as the title
page tells us it is published by Ste

protected in the same remarkable
fashion: Copyright 1909 by stephen c.

The Arena has had a shock, but has
survived, and doubtless viii continue
to be published. But it has had a
narrow escape.
Now who or what persons or influ-
ences in the United States attempted

years of public service and usefulness?

BARRIERS

T EFT us hope Los Angeles city coun-
Gil win show sympathy for the
"a plain people" by helping hard
working BARRIERS to get day off. The
occupation Of "barbering" is excep-
tionally trying. Most people don't
realize this, but that is probably be-
cause they do not stop to think about
it. AS soon as they apply thought to
it they will begin to realize what
must be the intense, nervous strain of
the business. Many BARRIERS break
down.
When a barber becomes even the
least little Bit nervous his useful
ness in his trade is over A day off,
a day of rest, is of the utmost impor-
lance to BARRIERS who wish to keep their
health and who do not care to run the
risk of being retired prematurely from
their chosen occupation and of having
to adopt another calling for which they
have had no training To the big bar
Der shops, which have large forces of
men and work double shifts, Sunday
closing is not as important as it is to
the smaller shops, where the work is
performed by only a few men,. 1t is
not fair to the smaller barber shops
to make the men work overtime and all
the time in competition with big shops
where men are employed in relays or
shifts. Practically all the working
MASTER BARRIERS of Los Angeles who
have small shops and all the journey
men are united in asking for day
of rest.
They see no chance of getting Sun
day off unless a Sunday closing ordi-
nance is adopted and enforced.

THE FOURTH ESTATE

TN magazine article entitled THE
Evolution of the Fourth Estate
l. BY Richard A. Haste, we find the
following passage: The rise of COM
merciaIism marked the beginning of
the decline of the Fourth Estate in
the United States. Corporations, and
individuals for that matter, desiring
special privileges needed special legis-
lation, and it was soon discovered that
it is cheaper to buy newspapers and
through them control legislation than
to buy Legislators direct. Besides,
newspapers when once bought stayed
bought. It is not an uncommon thing
for great industrial or transportation
corporation to own outright, either di-
rectly or indirectly, a dozen big news
papers and control a hundred others.
-. Such is the condition of the
Fourth Estate. From the country
weekly to the city daily we find few
moral agents"
Los Angeles Herald reluctantly adj
nits there is some truth in this critic
ism, inasmuch as it is aware the So
called Hearst" papers, the pioneers
and chief exemplars Of yellow Journal
ism, are known to be in such a close
alliance with Hartman that the local
Hearst paper more than once has been
accused of representing the Hartman
interests and Of acting with regard to
them like a hired nercenary rather
than an untrammeled member of free
press.
But while we must admit there is
truth in Mr.. Haste's criticism as far as
the yellow papers are concerned, at the
same time we must protest it is too
sweeping.
The article was written by Chicago
man and has a fault common to writer's
in New York and Chicago. They think
the world is bounded by the boundaries
of their cities and that beyond lies a
vast, vague wilderness called the rural
regions"
The real power of the press today is
welded by country papers-scores of
which, all of them good and many of
them excellent, are published in Cali
fornia-and by Independent papers pub
lished in cities outside of New York
and Chicago. When Mr.. Haste says
the editorial page" is a thing of the
past he shows lack of knowledge of his
subject. Los Angeles Herald prides it.
self on the fact its editorial page is "a
thing of the present." and the numer-
GUS letters of congratulation The
Herald receives from its readers shows
it's efforts to provide an editorial page
worthy of the best traditions of the
past and at the same time filled with
and exemplifying the life of the present
are appreciated.
Mr.. Haste should not be in such q
hurry to condemn all newspapers for
the sins of few metropolitans.
In his own city Mr.. Haste might dis
cover a "live'' and trustworthy editorial
page in the Post, if he would, read it;
while in New York he will find a
good, patriotic, unbought, unprejudiced
AMERICAN page in the New York
Press. And there are others. Los An
geles Herald is in good company. and
is proud Of the fact.
