1t seems to surprise many people that
there are so many poor In need Oh as
distance this winter when times are
fFgoOdO and that there are nearly as
many calls for help this winter as there
was last when business was just be-"
ginning to pick up after the panic,
but experienced charity workers and
those who have been connected with
the work of charitable organizations
for any length of time know that un-
less conditions are extreme, the number
in need of assistance varies little from
year to year There is always a GER
tain percentage of the population who
have to have help to tide them over
the winter no matter whether the times
are good or bad The duty of provld-
inc a Merry Christmas for the poor OF
the city was we'll done and it is be-
lieyed that no one in the city depend
emit ON charity went cold or hungry on
that day but 1T hardly seems necessary
to remind the generous people of the
city that the gifts made then will not
last any length of time and that their
responsibility does not end with the
holiday season. The long hard pull is
yet to come and contributions will
have to be generous and continued
work done if suffering is to be prevent
ed in the city during the next three
months. The hardest part Of this char
ity work is not to raise the money but
TO see that it is we'll and wisely spent
and there will always be danger that
needless suffering will take place am
ong the worthy poor until this relief
work is systematized and put on a
business basis.

HUGE SHIPMENT OF WALNUT
According to Estimates Years Crop
Worth Over 100000 to Call
fornia Growers.

Santa Ana, Collaborating to esti.
mates at the walnut packing houses
In this county, exclusive of the Fuller
ton, Anaheim and Plaeentia districts,
their shipments for the season will
reach 288 car loads The bulk Of the
crop has moved, and there remain but
a few car loads from each packing
house still to go. OF the 288 car loads
22S went from Santa Ana, making
Santa Ana the biggest shipping point
for walnuts in the United States.
The associations this year con.
trolled SIS or 70 more car loads than
they did last year. Even with that
this locality remains the stronghold OF
the Independent shippers of Califor-
MIA. The association estimates for
the season are: Santa Ana Valley Wal.
nut Growers association, shipped from
Santa Ana, 80 car loads; Richmond
Walnut Growers association, shipped
Capistrano Walnut Growers associa-
ton, shipped from San Juan Capis-
trane, 80 car loads. The Independent
houses reported as follows, all from
Santa Ana: Gowen & Willard, ITO
car loads; Smith G Miller, 10 car
loads; G. G. Collins, 13 car loads.
These nuts will total between $780,
900 and $4,000 for the growers.
The Santa Ana association alone by
the end Of the season will have dis
tributed 5000 900.

The following from the Saturday
Evening Post will be read with inter
est by those who have been following
the work of the special committee of
eating the subject of industrial insur-
ance with a view of drawing up law
on the subject to submit at the next
session. The figures submitted in the
article on the eventual distribution of.
the money paid on damage claims are
not a bit overdrawn, They are rath-
er underestimate if anything. Amy
one who has had any experience with
damage suits in our own courts knows
how little of the money paid in dam
age claims ever reaches those who
should be the chief benefciaries. The
article says:
:" New York at least, has begun tax
ing an intelligent interest in compen-
sation TO victims of industrial acct
dents. A commission, appointed by
the legislature, has been investigating
the subject. Here is one thing it
discovered:
"a great many of the larger employ
ers take out insurance against damages
arising from accidents to their work
men. Several companies make a
speciality of writing such insurance.
For a given premium the company as
sumes all of the employers liability in
regard to damages resulting from ac-
cidents. Of the money that the en-
ployer thus pays to the company forty
per cent goes for the general expenses
Of the company, while fifteen per cent
more is absorbed in the expenses of
fighting and adjusting claims for dam
ages, Thus, only forty-fve per cent
goes to the victims, and of that forty
five per cent probably about half goes
to the victim S lawyer Out of every
hundred dollars which the insured en-
ployer pays on account of personal in
juries through accidents on his prem
Uses probably only twenty or twenty
five dollars reaches the victims 1t
seems, moreover, that out of ten
claimants only one ever gets anything
at ALL
"The victims of these accidents, in
most eases, are needy cripples, OF
widows, or orphans.
TT is true, as employers sometimes
urge, that settlement of damage claims
by means of a lawsuit is the merest
lottery. A fraudulent claim-espeei-
ally if pressed by a woman-may be
awarded a heavy judgment A just
claim may be thrown out on a techni,
cality. But why leave it to lot.
terry? Why not follow the example
of every other civilized nation?"

NO PLoWs IN PANAMA ZONE
United States Bureau of Soils Reports
Agricultural Possibilities as
First Glass.

Washington The Panama canal
zone, considered from an agricultural
standpoint, is country possessed of
possibilities, but utterly devoid of
ploWs, farmers or farming. That Is
the substance of a report made by
II. Il. Bennett, one of the experts of
the United States bureau of soils after
an examination of the land of the
canal strip. Mr.. Benefits opinion of
the possibility of the canal strip is
not pessimistic by any means.
We ind among the Panamanians
the crudest agriculture imaginable"
he says In his report ''They do no
blowing or cultivating, but simply put
IN a few hills of corn, rice or inferior
vegetables and allow nature to do the
work. How they can live on these
little patches of half acre or SO is
more than I can understand at this
Time. They do live, however, and &C.
casionally sell enough fruit to buy a
little rum and some clothes for the
older members of the family.
There are no ploWs on the isthmus
or Panama, as far as we have been
able to learn, except few belonging
to the canal commission There Is
not great variety of soils, but they
are exceedingly hard to get at. The
topography is extremely humpy and
rough.
Trails are scarce and often i'm
passable on foot. They are never
passable in buggy. The only way to
mo e through the uncleared country
Is to cut path. So far have seen
two important soils. One is residual
red clay and the other a brown clay
loan of alluyial origin. The former
covers about three-feurths of the ter.
rltory explored on the Pacific side.
I believe that as a result of our in
yestigations there will be some effort
to establish school gardens through
out the zone as a means of interesting
the children OF laborers and natives in

CAN'T GET HIS WAGES CUT
New York City EnpIoye, Who Asked

New York.-A city employee who
last week stirred up q furore among
the municipal of1ceholders by request
ing reduction of Is per cent. in his
$1,000 salary, received reply from
the comptroller, refusing his request
The comptroller said:
This matter is not within my PROV
ince. am also informed that the
salary you draw is the lowest possible
for the position you hold under the
civil service laws. I cannot believe
that your financial condition warrants
the cut which you recommend"
The comptroller does not expect any
further calls for salary reductions
from employees of the city.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

Ignorance gives birth to lot of
eloquence,
They miss the place Of power who
dodge all pain
You cannot stir up love with the
poker Of anger.
A man begins to die as soon as he
lowers his ideas.
No man can be wholly free as long
as any remain bound.
When the divine is only a propo-
sition piety is only a theory.
There is only evil in the goodness
that makes other evil.
No man helps people much who
thinks only of pleasing them.
One way to defend the right is to at
tack all wrong vigorously.
Many believe in the discipline of suf-
fering, providing others take it.
No man hits the mark of righteous
ness by aiming at responsibility.
If you never dream of the impossible
you will never do the possible.
Making the best Of that which is
wrong is often huttressing an evil.
You cannot SOW weeds in your heart
and keep the burrs to yourself.

1t sounds like older and not better
times to hear of orders for the pursuit
Of pirates, The British ship Rowan
moore reported that she was attacked
by piratieal schooner in Bahaman
waters, and the United States govern
ment has directed that the revenue
cutter Window shall proceed from Gal
weston to the Bahamas in search of the
rover of the seas. Other cutters will
join the Window and, adds the dis
patch, 'for the first time in many
years American armed vessels will
search for pirates" This smacks more
OF the times of the buccaneers and the
black flag with skull and crossbones
flung out by sailing vessels directed by
skillful though wicked navigators than
OF the Gays Of steam, wireless teleg-
raphy and other modern improve
ments. But fleet of modern revenue
cutters would make short work of any
pirate craft that offered resistance.
