The Beggar Priuce.

Theater-goers will be delighted TO
learn of the return of the "Beggar
Prince. Opera House, Monday night,
January 3.
The Company presenting the Beg
gar Prince contains many well-known
fun-makers and yocalists, and no bet
ter vehicle for their efforts TO enter
tain could have been secured. The
comedy element predominates the ac-
ton of ihe piece from beginning TO
end, and as every male member of the
cast is comedian, fun fast and furious
is the result. "A laugh in every line"
is not an exaggeration in this instance,
but the humor is natural and entirely
free from the coarseness which often
mars productions of the musical COM
edy class. The female contingent is
made up of pretty girls, who know how
to sing and dance. Their costumes
are gorgeous in the extreme, and the
management claims the entire show
TO be unsurpassed by any light opera
organization.

One Of the particularly bright fea-
lures OF the "Beggar Prince" which
VIII have production at the opera

TACT that the play, while frequently

To herSe-play. The many hilarious

worked up 10y legitimate and refined
comedy situations, and as a conse-
quence the entertainment gains the
applause Of the critics in the parquet,

RAW MATERIALS

w HAT are raw materials? The
w question Is ignored by Repub-
lican tariff trainers. They have
dubbed certain articles raw materials.
Are they? A little examination shows
the term is purely arbitrary. Take
hides, for example. Are they raw
materials?" Are they not manufac-
tured by the farmer, who devotes sew
eral years of care. attention and study
and skill to the growing Of each per-
feet hide? It is fine point. If labor
Is applied to the production OF raw"
materials, why should that labor be
Disseminated against and the labor
which manufactures products into
various finished articles be protected
Nothing can be more easily reduced
to absurdity than the principle of a
high protective tariff on this" but not
on "that:" on the goose. but not on
the gander. Inconsistency and I'M
fairness are the predominant features
Of tariff legislation. Apparently. pro-
tected manufacturers are unwilling to
compete with the foreigner, but are
quite willing the farmer should COM
pete with him. High protection zeal

McGARVINISM

MANY expressions of opinion
M have come to Los Angeles Her
AiA aid from citizens among whom
may be found representatives Of oil po-
litical parties, but who are as one IN
their denunciation of the McGarvinism
which theatens to make Los Angeles
ridiculous in the eyes of the other cities
OF the United States, and to assail Sc
rlously the reputation of our worthy
citizens for good hard common sense.
Since we have a primaries law, why
should machine politicians be allowed
to misinform the public Of the United
States as to the true attitude OF Los
Angeles with regard to nominations7
The candidates of rump conventions
must not be obtruded on the people.
They do not and cannot and Will not
represent anything or anybody but the
machine. and the machine is not the
people, but the enemy of the people,
Why should the people be asked to ac-
cent and indorse candidates selected by
the enemy of the people?
If the suggestion that the entire COM
munity should become involved IN a
gigantic conspiracy to 9atwit the pri-
maries law were not awesomely and
audaciously sinister, fraught with men
ace to the freedom of our institutions
essentially treacherous, nay, treason
able, it might be farcical enough &c
provoke the laughter of citizens witr
a keen sense Of the ridiculous. Bui
sometimes S. p. political p~rformers
nlav such fantastic tricks before high
heaven as make the angels weep rather
than laugh. The political trickery Of
the s. p. must be rebuked and repudl
ated. This is a city of Good Govern
ment. The flag is up and every citizer
must be true to the colors. No one bu

NEWSPAPERS

~ ONE Of our friends show a disposl-
- ton to stir UP a hot weather con-
~ troversy as to what constitutes
we'll edited newspaper. While readers
of Los Angeles Herald are familiar
with a paper of that description we do
not believe it is the result Of any set
of hard and fast rules. The style or
newspaper depends to a great extent on
the man who edits it. If 1t contains an
undue preponderance OF church news
then you may be sure the editor has
church friends and strong church at
filiations and predictions In which he
Is determined the public, willy nilly,
shall share. If it is distinguished by
continuous attitude of hostility toward
labor unions or any other organizations
then the public may depend on 1t the
editor has a private quarrel with the
organizations, in which he invites the
public to share. II a paper is not well
balanced, If there is an undue prepon-
derance of sporting news, for instance
then depend on 1t the editor has pre-
dilection for certain kinds of sports,

share.
The best paper is that in which there
are fewest predictions and prejudices.
The strongest force exercised by a
newspaper is the force of suggestion,
That is why it is absolutely NOT
RIGHT to give all of what are well
called the "horrifying' details with re-
gard to every kind Of crime and scan
dal. One of our contemporaries aston
ishingly says the most potent deterrent
of crime is complete newspaper pub
licity. Humph So that is why COM
plete detailed newspaper narrative of
crime of a novel, original and striking
character is followed invariably by q
series of similar crimes?
When a newspaper tells with infinite
pains of exactitude how a plot was
laid to dynamite a certain mans house
and how a plan was carried out sue
cessfully, rest assured another case OF
| dynamiting will be reported from an
other part of the country, or other cases
will be reported, and If they prove tc
be bungles 1t is because the exciting
narrative which has provoked them has
lacked some detail. 1t is always 6
good policy to tell what has happened
But 1t may not always be a good policy
to dissect and explain what has hap
pened. A suggestive and detailed ac-
count Of a crime may be copied in fal

FEDERATION

TN the federation Of South Africa a
urecedent is established and a
4 lesson is given to the other kindred
countries Of the world A few years
ago II would have been said African
federation was impossible. The various
colonies and countries had what were
called conflicting" interests, and some
were torn by internal race hatreds'
preiudices and dissensions. These led
to a great civil war, the fiercest STRIFE
since that waged between the northern
and the southern states.
And, in addition, they had the
"colored" problem. In short, the con-
dition Of South Africa was something
like that of North America in the
COS of the nineteenth century. But
South Africa has sacrificed prejudices
to the general good, and what seems
to be almost miraculous statesman
shin, has actually succeeded in fed
Grating the Transvaal, Cape Colony
Orange River state and Natal.
Federation is a most wonderful
issue from all controversies, battles
and difficulties TO pedCei "lu' SNo0P'
ing in the United States, the World
cannot show anything like it. Only
those who are so purposely blind they
cannot see will fail to appreciate the
broad hint which civilization is re-
ceiving from the second great fedora
tion of kindred races after bitter bick-
ering and quarreling and the effusion
Of blood. There should be a third the
greatest of all And it will come.

MEN AND WOMEN

DR. FRANCIS BOWLING, Gin
cinnati scientist, says American
~ men are deteriorating fast and be-
coming inferior to women in all parts
Of the country excepting the south
west, where climatic advantages are in
favor Of men. So in the rise Of the
suffragette and the strenuous woman
there is that same sweet reasonable
ness which characteri1es all the oper-
ations of nature. When woman be-
comes the predominating partner in
the United States 1t will be because
man has allowed tobacco, highballs
and fast living" to reduce him to an
inferior scale.
Compare woman with man" says
DR.. Bowling. "She IS healthy and
buxom, has color in her cheeks and
blood in her veins, and as q general
proposition woman is improving WON
derfully and man is retrograding. Only
in the southwest, where the climate is
as close to supreme as we can find it
on this continent, is man holding his
own, and there he will continue TO hold
his own for centuries"
From this we gather that ere long,
in all parts of the United States but
the southwest, the proverbial gray
mare will be the better horse. We
may yet live to see the formation Of
Societies for the Restoration Of the
Franchise to Men.
