CANS DENIES THAT

NEW YORK, April 17.-Joe Cans.
former lightweight champion, is highly
incensed mt the report crediting him
with being tuberculosis victim. The
''old master" stated that he was in.
good health and that he contcmplates
obtaining a physician s certificate TO
that effect, and having il published
broadcast. After the Cans White bout
in this city a story was current TO the
effect that the negro was a victim of
the F|white plapue.' 1T was said that
he spit blood during the contest, and
that the poor fight put up by the for
mer champion lent color to the rumor.
1t is common gossip in the Monu
mental City that Cans did little or no
training for his fight with White. At
gro was cndcavoring to have his hotel
license renewed after the application
had been turned down by the commits
siouers. Cans was greatly worried over
this matter, and spent little time in con
ditioning himself for bout with the
Englishman. The fact that the rumor
gained considerable ground is probably
due TO the fact that Cans himself
caused n similar story TO be spread prior
10 his fight with Nelson last September.
The negro issued a statement at that
time declaring that he was forced To
sleep out of doors The object was to
raise his odds, and the trick succeeded.

RECOMMENDS KINDERGARTEN
LETTER BOX FOR GRADUATES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-tEditor
Herald: 1t is of course essential that
the Letter Box be above suspicion of
not giving a hearing to all sides. Still
I submit it is hard to restrain ones
impatience at seeing good space wasted
on such crude and childish utterances
as we sometimes find there-Margaret
Browns letter for example. think
we should have a kindergarten de-
partment for such correspondents
Margaret must surely be very young
in mental development at all events
not to have grasped yet that most ele-
mentary Of principles that effect in
varlably proceeds from cause. Yet she
scouts Opportunity" as a factor in
human achievement. She even more
than hints that attainment will be In
inverse ratio to the opportunity open
The logic of this then is: Lock and
bolt the door-it will facilitate lnsress
and egress." 'If you want to cross the
continent, don't seek the adventitious
aid of the railway-if you have the
right stuff in you, you will get there
anyway"
She says: "The children of the very
wealthy seldom amount to anything,
as if, in the matter of development or
character and ability, excess Of wealth
did not often constitute in itself
'lack Of opportunity" Yet even mere
I might challenge her to show that the
average child of wealthy parentage Is
not above the average of the children
of poverty He ought to be-and he
is. And the truth of this Is In no
wise altered by the fact that the aver
age rich-born may not always be the
equal of the exceptionally able cnlld
OF the people.

HARRIMAN'S GALL

NJ OTHING more revolving to a sense
v of patriotism, nothing more un-
~ seemly, nothing more humiliat-
ing to the people of the United States,
has ever happened than the Hartman
ization of the United States diplomatic
service in Mexico. The prostitution OF
the office of ambassador to the Harrl-
man interests is without precedent or
parallel and even the most charitable
will find it hard to reconcile Ambas-
sador Thompsons mercenary conduct
with that high sense of duty and re-
sponsiblity to the flag which is sup
posed to be a characteristic of every
true American who is honored by
being chosen to represent it abroad.
This man Thompson, who was sent
to represent the United States as am
bassador to Mexico, ended his diplo-
matte usefulness by transferring his
services to Hartman and by becoming
ambassador for Hartman in Mexico
before he had rendered his resignation
as ambassador for the United States,
Now, when a big deal is completed
we are told, announces he Will resign.
Canny man! II Roosevelt were in Of
fee he would not have the chance of
setting a date for his retirement.
For approximately $40 600 gold
Ambassador Thompson purchased the
Pan-American railroad and will re-
main IN Mexico permanently. That is
the only redeeming feature of the af-
fair. He won't come back. The man
who went to represent his country in
Mexico will remain as an American
capitalist in Mexico!
Need we point out the effect on the
American diplomatic service If all the
ambassadors and ministers were to
turn their political preferment to per-
sonal advantage by acting as salaried
or commissioned agents of American
capitalists?
And what shall be said Of Hartman,
who dares to make of the members OF
the diplomatic service his personal
agents and representatives, in transac-
tions with regard to which their Off
cial standing will give them 1.-THE inside
track" and an undue advantage over
possible rivals of Hartman?
The announced purchase of the Pam
American road by Hartman is of Sec
ondary Importance to the method en-
ployed by him in conducting the nego-
tiatlons and making the purchase.
What must any foreign country think
Of a diplomatic service which is 50
loyal to the flag it is liable to be Sc
duced at any time by a commercial Of
fer? If there is no provision in exist
ence forbidding our diplomatic repre-
sentatives to act as the private agents
Of ambitious capitalists, then such pro-
vision should be made without delay.
If the entire diplomatic corps should
initiate Thompsons example the
United States might as well go out Of
the business of being a nation. And
isn't ii painfully obvious little Harri-
man mistakes himself for Uncle Sam?

Y. w. C. A.

n NE OF the most useful of the many
educational institutions of Los
" Angeles is the Young Women 5
Christian association, because it pro-
vides an opportunity for working girls
TO pursue studies in various special
lines. The place Of the Young Women's
Christian association as an educational
factor is established. 1t makes pos
sible for busy women and girls, wheth-
er they be engaged in home-making OF
in business life, development along
many lines by providing competent
leaders and instructors and arranging
classes, clubs and lectures at conven-
lent hours. The Herald congratulates
the association on the excellence and
completeness of its plans for 1909-1910.
In addition to a large number Of de-
partments providing courses of instruc-
ton in matters familiar to "mere man. 4"
the school is distinctively and dis
finctly feminized by a department of
cookery, and a department of domestic
arts.
A list Of the various courses offered
in the department of domestic arts is
especially interesting and shows "the
world do move" with forward motion
unknown to Calico. In sewing there
will be classes in plain handwork, etc.
shirtwaist making, shirtwalst suits,
dolls dressmaking, drafting, dress
making and tailoring. Since this is an
age when women work, the training Of
the women in wage earning pursuits
is also necessary. But all students
who intend to follow earning
pursuits should be taught they must
ask a wage as big as that paid to men.
A woman's life is as valuable to the
world as d mans, and she should put
as big a price on it as a man does on
his. Capital does not think any more
of a woman for accepting q smaller
wage than a mans for work she can
do as well as g man 1t only thinks
she is a wee bit foolish-and takes ad-
vantage Of this unfortunate condition

At the risk of stirring up a hornets
nest 1 want to ask a few impertlnent
questions. Do men have monopoly
of leading women astray? Are there
not girls who, too indolent to work, de-
liberately hunt men to furnish them
luxuries, and when one young man IS
ruined financially, leaves him with
corruption in his bones and coolly
hunts down another, keeping this up
for years until she has blasted many
precious lives? Is not one of the chlef
anxieties of every parent lest his boys
should fall into the hands of these klnd
of creatures? Was this kind less fre-
quent when Solomon wrote the
proverbs to keep the young men from
the strange women?' Are there no
women who make business of seeking
the precious lives of boys?
Who that has been obserVant has not
seen rosy checked boys eternally ruined
by society ladies who never saw the
redlight district? Who has not heard
of women deliberately boasting that
such a man was completely under her
control, married or unmarried? Is there
not much false sentiment on this old
subject, and if so, was Solomon right
or wrong in his discussion of it? Does
not much of this false sentimentalism
arise from a misunderstanding of the
Savior's talk with the fallen woman?
He did not excuse her, as supposed,
but refused to judge her, because he
was not a judge, and had no right 70
condemn. He did command to quit
her nefarious traffic, "go and sin no
more" Which sex is doing the most
flirting in public places, or in other
words soliciting? If women are better

and society demands most of her? l

SOUTHERN UNEASINESS

A NTI-AMERICAN feeling in Carta-
Ia gena resulted in the attempted as
IL sassination Of William T. McMas-
ters, United States vice consul. ELo
was attacked by the editor OF an anti
American newspaper, who was accom-
panied by a friend. The Colombians
are being taught Americans are theiI
enemies. In many South American re-
publics the false doctrine is being
preached that the United States, under
cloak of the Monroe policy, intends to
"grab," bit by bit, all of Central and
South America.
And anti-American feeling is resDon-
sible for occasional unpleasant epi-
sodes in Mexico.
Truth to tell, there is some justifica-
ton for the alarm of our friends. From
the first English speaking colonies a
steady aggression and oncroachment
westward and southward have been
kept up 10! these many years. A war
with Mexico gave US a huge slice of
land, which is not yet overpopulated-
indeed, not populated to anything like
its complete capacity. But our south
ern neighbors are uneasy. They are
nervously awaiting the "psychical mo-

SAYS PEOPLE WILL SOON
NEED BOATS IN THE TUNNEL

Los ANGELES, Aug. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Once more [ must draw at
tention to the Third street tunnel The
city fathers had better have some long
narrow boats built at once, for there
is one side of this said tunnel already
under deep water. When an automo-
bile chunks suddenly down into it the
muddy water splashes all over the side
walk and all over the pretty, clean,
white, blue, pink ladies' gowns, and as
for the men, oh, their faces turn
green.
These chunkety bump holes, over
flowing in water, are from the con-
tractor using imperfect water pipes
when the extra water was carried
down through the Third street tun-
mel to the city from out west (some
two years ago, I think). 1t has been
patched in many places, many times
since but, of course, the water bursts
through another place, plainly show
ing that patching oozing water pipes
is all useless work. 1t must all be
taken up and done properly and at the
same time put two or three holes
through the roof for ventilating and
light, and wall drains leading to pipes
running under the paVements and do
away with the present narrow foul
cutters, and thus forever remove the
Third street tunnel disgrace. A much
needed wall is now being built on the
west side of Hope street, joining this
tunnel a few more thousand dollars
put out now would get all this work
done in the tunnel before the winter
rains ana would also save the cash
for building those boats.

mel it was discontinued until s a. m,

destrians to go to their work with a

alton would add to Greater Los
= Angeles a fine residential district;
large in extent and in every respect
desirable. Nearly all the streets are
laid ont and graded and curbing inn

thousand Inhabitants, among whom are
some of the best and best-knoWn men

Greater Los Angeles is being con-
strulted, the work might as well be
made complete.
Consolidation may be called the met

there VIII be some permanence to the
city map and il won't have to be read

ment which is general in the outlying
districts is founded 90 q common sense
view of the situation The inhabitants
argue that the suburbs of Los Angeles

claim the Cahuenga valley district
should be annexed. The case for an

PICTURES PERSONS HE WILL
MEET AT LETTER BOX PICNIC

PASADENA, Aug. 24.-TEditor Her
add: 1t is a pleasure to hear again
from "a Young Girl" (Mrs. Newly
wed), now a young wife. l fully agree
with her that it is far better physi-
cally and morally that people should
marry at from 20 to % years of age. l
have heard 1t said on good authority
that while large numbers of young
men lead pure lives till 25 years old,
but few of them who are unmarried
retain their purity after that age.
The suggestion of "Commuter" for a
picnic for the Letter Box folks is
good / wish to join with my fellow
townsman "Englishman" in promising
to attend, but suggest one of the city
parks as more central than the beach.
| look forward with keen pleasure to
meeting some of your correspondents
and am already forming mind pictures
as to the appearance and manners of
those I hope to meet.
For instance, ! picture DR.. Humani-
tas as a gray-bearded man of 3D.,
Marion Martin as a sweet-faced ma
tron of As and Elizabeth Quigley as a
single business woman of 80. Helen
Standish is 30 and unmarried and OBJ
server is a 40-year-old crusty bache-
lor. Mrs Newlywed is 90, fair haired
and BILE eyed and has just finished a
happy business experience, and En-
glishman is 81, tall, fair and ruddy
checked, with a selection of burlap
samples in one pocket, Goodyear cat
alogue in the other and several va
rieties of botting paper in his pocket
book
But all joking aside, Mr.. Editor and
fellow correspondents, why not have
a picnic next month? The Editor and
Aunt Laurie could chaperone us and if
desired we could all meet under our
assumed names, thus adding to the in
terest I formerly wrote as young
Man" but in order to avoid confusion
with "a Young Man" of Los Angeles,
l now sign myself.
