Publicity and the Slums.


1t Is sickening to have the stage ex-
ploit the lives of the vicious under the
pretense of uplifting morals. But the
theater has to be sought out, and Its
opportunity for scattering poison is
slight in comparison with the maya
zine which is thrust before the young
and innocent without warning. Tax
ing for themes the political rottennesi
Of certain cities, two or three family
magazines have of late laid bare in all
its foulness the degenerate life Of the
slums.
Nothing new or startling can be said
about the slums to stir up revolution
and reform. 1t is all we'll known to
the respectable jewellers in cities. Con-
ditions remain the same generation
after generation. although the person
mel changes as strange types of hui
mainly drift in from all quarters Of
the globe. Noble men and women are
striking at the root Of the evil. and the
wisdom of printing the details of crime
In home publications is questionable.
The curiosity Of the weakminded about
low life is already keyed to the point
Of frenzy and Of danger.

LAW WILL BE ARGUED.
Constitutionality of Act Creating
Judicial Districts Comes Up
Tomorrow.

The writ of prohibition issued by
the supreme court on Judge Irwin,
restraining him from signing the re-
solution passed by the board of coun-
ty commissioners, districting Che
halls county into two judicial dis
tricts.
The kickers at Hoquiam, who knew
no constitutional defect in the law
until after the county commissioners
located the sub-court house at Abb
erdeen, have filed the following OBJ
jections, to which the Herald will
advert from layman's point of view
after the supreme court has had it's
say.
1. That the act and action taken
Hereunder, unconstiutionally re-
stricts the jurisdiction of the SUI
perior courts of the state.
2. The creation of a judicial dis
trict is the exercise of Legislative
powers. This cannot be constitution
ally delegated to board of county
commissioners or to a Judge of the
superior court.
3. The act violates section 4, arti-
Gle II of the state constitution which
provides for uniform system of coun-
ty government, in that, under the
act, uniformity is destroyed by au-
thOrizing the unlimited creation of
judicial districts.
4. The act violates section II. of
article IA, of the constitution, in that
it authorizes a partial removal of the
county seat by the board of COM
missioners and Judge: This without
vote of the people.
5. The act unconstitutionally au-
thorizes the division of counties for
judicial purposes.
6. The act violates section 90,
article 1, of the constitution which
guarantees accused persons the right
to haev a speedy public trial by an
impartial jury of the county.

Trees as Sanitary Agents.

When City Forester FROST Of Chicago
delivered his maiden speech the other
day as the city's spokesman on tree
and shrubbery planting before the
Woman's club of Esther Falkenstein

that it improves the beauty Of thor

Next to high class architecture

whole is considered. no place OF like
size in California Is more beautiful
than Riverside, the Forest City. and
street trees are its chief asset. Wher-
ever we hear an opinion expressed re-
garding beautiful city we may note.
II we but listen. that some remark Is
made about street trees. Every WIS.,
itor to Europe. commenting OH the fine
cities, does not leave Off enumerating
the chief charms until he has spoken
Of magnificent avenues and boulevards
lined with trees. None Is mentioned
that is not tree lined. When one con-
siders both the aesthetic and economic
value Of trees 1t is hard to realize that
we have people who do not like them.
There are those who really would
rather see bare streets than we'll plant
ed ones. To some these persons are
objects Of pity, but to'a majority they
hut invoke disgust by presentation
Of their views.-Los Angeles Times.

TO ABOLISH EILLEOARDS.
Detail of Practical Method Adopted by
Kansas City.

Detail OF Practical Method Adopted BY
Kansas City.
Kansas City. Mo-. claims to be the
first city in the United States to pro-
vide practical method Of abolishing
billboards. BY the new city charter
the council is given authority to pro
hibit by ordinance the construction or
maintenance of billboards within any
district of the city which it may pre-
scribe. but must remunerate property
owners for damages thereby caused
them. unless their consent be first OBJ
tanned. The damages paid and other
costs are to be treated as Il public i'm.
provement and assessed as such
against the property in the prescribed
district. The amount of damages is
to be determined by jury. Advan-
tage Of the above provision has already
been taken by the owners of one OF
the largest residence additions to the
city. who have filed their written con-
sent to the passage of an ordinance
prohibiting bllboards in that district.
The charter provides for regulation
also. and an ordinance, which has been
upheld by the circuit court. provides
that the height of billboards must not
exceed ten feet, that there shall be Il
clear space underneath Of at least
eighteen inches. that the ends must be
at least three feet distant from any
wall or fence or other obstruction
which will prevent clear passage
from the street to the ground behind
and that no billboard shall be con-
structed within twelve feet Of the
property line. 1t was held that this
could not be applied to billboards al
ready erected but on Jan. 90 storm
blew down no billboards. which great
ly assisted the reform
Generally speaking. billboards can
be taxed in the same way as other
property, but 1t has been held uncon-
stitutional to tax them out Of ex-
iStence"
