REGARDS STRONG LANGUAGE
AS JUST FITTED TO CASE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-[Editor
Herald: Marion Martin has set forth
some truths in her letter published in
Sundays Herald. I am especially
pleased with the term male beasts as
applied to fallen men. AS she says,
fallen women will do less harm to our
daughters than fallen men.
The brazen impudence of fallen men
is something surprising-even boasting
of their vileness-and as they hold that
fallen women are a necessity to them
selves, they either go about in search
of victims or are very glad when 9TH
ers knock them down. as Eugene
Debs says. If the shoe fits, put it on

APPROVES, BUT HINTS THAT
WRITER KNOWS TOO MUCE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-[Editor
Herald: The answer that A Young
Girl gives to the question why do
American girls marry aristocrats?" to
my mind is a good one. There surely
must be something wrong and pervert-
ed about the American girl who caters
to the whims of an aristocrat. 1t is
self-evident that such a girl is not an
American.
| am bit stuck on the statement
of A Young Girl in the letter Box,
but how is it that She Knows so much
about fat goose livers, terrapin, crete
ct rognon de coque, and such expensive
delicacies, on ten dollars a week?

California oil industry is in a most
prosperous condition. More crude oil
was shipped from the fields Of Cali
fornia in 1908 than ever before. Cali
fornia oil must be kept out of Cali

should remember that even although
oil may be useful for lubricating a ma

Unofficial Weather

What Santa Barbara should have,
but has been unable to obtain, is a
government weather station. Volun-
tary observers, while they may be ac-
curate, do not rank as officials, and
their reports do not have the recog-
milton that is given the government
records. San Diego recently made
great play on the fact that Santa Bar
bara records are not official, and there
fore not entitled to serious considera-
tiOn.-SAnta Barbara Press.

Parents to Blame

There is more merit in the opinion
of the Colorado secretary of the bureau
Of child and animal protection that
parents of bad children should be pun
ished for the misconduct Of their Off
spring than one would suppose at first
thought. If the state had the power
to bring parents to the bar of justice
when their children went wrong there
would perhaps be a more determined
effort to see that boys and girls lived
in accordance with the ideals Of civ
lization.-Brooklyn Standard Union.

THREE FATAL WOUNDS
FOUND IN CARMACK's BODY By
DIX. GLASGOW.
Performed Autopsy on Body and
Found Two Wounds in Heart
and One in Spinal Cord.

Nashville, Teln.-Dr. McPheters Glas.
gov in the Cooper-Sharp trial Monday
testified that the body of Senator Z. w.
Carmack was exhumed OH the morning
of Nov. II and that shortly after loon
on that date in the town of Columbia,
with assisting physicians aiding him,
he made a post-mortem examination of
the rounds received by the deceased.
He testified further that there were
three gunshot wounds, two passing COM
pletely through the heart and u third
passing directly through the spine, sew
ering the spinal cord. Any one of these
three wounds would have produced in
slant death.
The purpose was to show that any one
of the three shots fired by Robin Cooper
would have produced death and that it
would have been a physical impossibility
for Senator Carmack to have used his
gun after receiving the first of these
shots, and if he fired twice it must have
been before Robin Cooper fired at all.
This is the theory of the defense.

BURGLAR GETS BIG BUNCH
Turfman Ryan Victim of Clever
Cincinnati Crook.

Cincinnati.-While a burglar was
gathering unto himself $3.50 in money,
a pin valued at $500, a pair of diamond
earrings valued at $1,70O and a four
karat diamond ring valued at $500, Tues
day night, John j. Ryan, the turfman,
was slumbering calmly three feet away
with a long revolver under his pillow.
Obviously the burglar knew what he
was after, for the examination made aft
er the burglary was discovered, showed
that he had wasted no time and no I'M
necessary steps.
II am congratulating myself that it
was not a whole lot worse" said Ryan.

OLD FORCE LAW KILLED
NEW PENAL CODE ENACTED BY
CONGRESS.
Race and Color as to Jurors Not
Mentioned-C. o. D. Shipments
to Dry Territory Prohibited.

Washington-A new penal code was
enacted into law Wednesday through the
adoption in both houses of Congress of
the conference report on the bill drafted
by a joint commission originally APP
pointed in 1897 and reappointed at the
close of the Fifty-ninth Congress-.
For several days there has been a fill
buster in the Senate, led by Clarke OF
Arkansas against the sections relating
to the use of troops at places where gem
eral or special elections are held. Final
ly the conferees struck out of the Sec
ton the provision relating to the keep
ing of peace at the polls, because it was
recognized that Federal troops are not
now used for that purpose.
The commission also dropped all ret
erence to the statute of 1875, which for
bids discrimination on account OF race
or color in the selection of grand or
petit Jurors, but left the law as it was
originally enacted.

LOCAL OPTION IN INDIANA
State Legislature Refuses to Repeal
Old Law.

Indianapolis.-The senate of the State
legislature late Tuesday decided to con-
tinue county local option in Indiana for
the next two years by killing, by a vote
of 26 to %, the enacting clause of a
house bill to repeal the county option
law, which was passed by a special ses-
sion of the legislature last September.
The action came at the close of a day of
flibustering and the contest was one of
the most bitter in the history of Indiana
legislation.
County option repeal was a Demo
cratic platform proposition in the last
campaign, but since the election so many
counties have voted dry under the new
law that public sentiment had influential
effect on a number of Democratic legis-
lators who drew themselves out of line
with their party when it came to the
point of trying to repeal the law at the
present session of the general assembly.

COST OF OUR GOVERNMENT
Appropriations for Eight Years Have
Been $7,OO7, 739, 1873.

Washington.-The sixtieth Congress
came to an end at noon today and it
glided into the sixty-first SO impercep-
tibly that the change was scarcely no.
ticeable.
During the sessions Chairman Taw-
ney of the appropriations committee in
the House, declared that the expendi-
lures of the government have at no time
except in war, increased as rapidly as
during the past eight years.
Appropriations during the past eight
years, including the fiscal year 1910, he
said, were equal to $1,000, S39,1s3, and
he declared that at the end of the pres
ent fiscal year there will be a deficit of
$3.50, ooo, 900. He severely criticised the
executive branch for submitting esti-
mates of expenditures far in excess OF
estimates of receipts. He placed the
appropriations for the expiring session
at 81 ,044, 014, 298.

%CURTAILMENT is IMPOSSIBLE
The Government Faces a Deficit OF
$125.OOO,O 900.

Chicago, Ill.-"Theodore Roosevelt en-
larged the functions of the government.
He increased at once it's usefulness and
its responsibility. Witness, for example,
the creation of the bureau of commerce
and labor. Recall, for instance, the pure
food law. Both of these innovations are
governmental. Their necessity, their
high utility is simply beyond dispute.
Yet necessarily they have increased the
expenditures of the government"
This was Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh's answer to the question
whether it would be possible, in view of
the growing deficit, to curtail the ex
penses of the government.
In a way, the treasury is in a critical
condition. The government is operating
under a, heavy deficit, with a threat of
facing a shortage of at least 1925 ,000,-
900 by the end of the fiscal year. In the
last eighteen months expenditures have
Outrun receipts to the extent of $145,-
00O, 900, while the national lawmakers
have worked overtime in increasing the
discrepancy.

Five witnesses were introduced by the

of them fatty contradicted him in vital
points.

Washington.-The house on Tuesday
by a vote of IT'S to 172 rejected the bill
commonly called the ship subsidy bill,
the principal feature of which is the pro-
vision that American mail steamships of
16 knots or over, and of not less than
5000 gross tons, shall be paid $3.50 per
nautical mile outward bound on routes
of 1000 miles or upward to South Amer
lea, the Philippines, Asia and Australia.
Mr.. Qverstreet, Indiana, in charge of
the bill, made an exhaustive explanation
of its provisions. He was followed by
Mr.. lands, Indiana, who made an ear
nest plea for the passage of the bill.
The debate on the bill consumed the
entire afternoon.
Mr.. Moon, Tennessee, led the opposi-
ton to the measure.
1T is an Internal fraud designed to
plumber the treasury" he declared.
Speaking of the provision of the train
ing of American boys and answering the
plea of patriotism advanced by Mr.. Lam
dis, he said that it was but a blind to
hide the giving of the peoples money to
corporations.
The climax came when Minority Lead
er Clark declared that a lobby had been
carried on right on the floor of the
house" in favor of the passage of the
bill. 1T is an outrage to a civilized
country" he declared, "this thing of
coaxing men, of button-holing men, and

of Tennessee denounced this bill as an
internal fraud, he used language that he
was justified in using"

The spells system impels men to
make all they can within a limited
time. The merit system admonishes
them to play fair and so hold their
jobs without reference to political in
reference. One tempts a man to
graft while he has the chance. The
other prompts him to so conduct him
self as to retain a good thing. This
valves moral considerations-but SO
do many politicians.
