WANTS WORDS TO DESCRIBE
BEAUTIES OF THE YOSEMITE

LOS ANGELES, July 2O.-[Editor
Herald: While your correspondents
are daily discussing the rights ana
claims of human beings, whether this
old earth Is to be burned up, root and
branch, and whether our nation snail
go the way of Babylon, Rome, Israel
or Greece, 1 am drinking in the Won
ders, delights and uplifts of the Yose-
mite valley, with little of the spice OF
the Chautauqua thrown in for variety.
There are men, like Charles Edward
Locke and Bishop William H. Bell of
Los Angeles and Chancellor Hamilton
of Washington, d. c., who, with
matchless marvelousness mounted the
domes and peaks and points and tow
ers of the intellectual universe and
brought down the pearls and rubies or
thought which sent gloom and glum-
ness to the moles and bats of murmur-
ing doom. The inspirations of these
natural wonders bring new life and
great courage. Here nature recon-
structs the overworked. restless nerves.
Come here, recline in the brilliant sun
shine or lie in the shade of pine or ce-
dar or oak and gaze up, up, on up at
the tremendous walls, bestudded with
shrubs or straight pines, or, perchance,
at clear, clean vertical masses of stone
and the awe of the thing the quietude
and greatness puts your distressed
nerves all to quiet, resttul work again.
Providence set up the most stupen-
dous monuments of his greatness and
then ornamented them with equally
wonderful water falls so that in trying
to describe them ones adjectives are
like the beautiful outdoor flowers of
New England, run in behind battered
doors from wlntry frost and will not
come out. Here words just will not
come with greatness in keeping with
natures marvellous massiveness and
beauty. Yosemite falls alone outrival
all words. With its balls of pure snow
water, starting, as If by magic, out of
narrow ledge of rocks 5000 feet in
mid air, sweep down like meteors or
inverted rockets, with long pendants of
graceful liquids in their pathway then
breaking into millions of mistful
atoms, alone is sufficient to reconstruct
the broken down, nervous, busy man
of valley, plain or sea. Tt knocks out
all murmuring. M. M. ESHELMAN.

CORPORATION TREASON

NFISS JOHANNES Won WAGNER,

led to infer the corporations get some
of their "cheap labor supply from the
shacks, novels, tenements and insan-
itary dwellings CONG planned of by Miss
Won Wagner and are possessed by the
crazy notion which has ever been an
enemy Of social reform that If the con-
dition of the poorer workers Is i'm
proved they will no longer be willing
to labor, or will demand higher wages.
In other words, in order to produce
conditions which will establish and
maintain in the United States a spe-
cies of peonage, railroad corporations
not only do nothing 10 improve the
condition of laborers, but actually try
to prevent Miss Won Wagner and her
fellow workers from putting reforms
into effect.
An extremely conservative neighbor
characterizes Miss Won Wagner s
statements as unpleasant stories. y
Unpleasant is a mild word with which
to describe these Internal conditions
and the fendishness of interests that
would prevent philanthropy from ale

of human beings. We can think OF a
great many words which would de-
scribe the situation more aptly and ac-
curately than che word unpleasant, "

reforms begin from without. There Is

Light must come into darkness or II re-

something from without, which we call
the spirit, works the desire, and then, IN
conjunction with the will, creates the

ANYTHING but more corruption. Deatn'

come corrupt, ever yet had purified It,
self or had power to purify itself any
more than G. F. could lift himself over
the fence by his boot straps. Lineman
is a clear thinker and gives evidence
of having carefully read history.
Did Luther reform the Church of
Rome? Did Wesley reform the Church
of England? Did Lincoln reform the
old Whig party? Name in all history
one institution that had become corrupt
and fattened upon corruption that ever
reformed itself. "No, not one" What

the new out of the old. To rebuild, to
reconstruct. Christ's prayer was, THY

PRINCIPLE GOVERNING TITLE
TO HARRORS AND TIDELANDS

LOS ANGELES, July 18.-[Editor
Herald: Some months ago a promi-
nent state senator from one OF the
southern counties publicly announced
"that the title to the water fronts ana
tidelands about all the harbors OF
this state, except San Diego anu san
Francisco, were vested in private In
dividuals and corporations"
Wide research has since been made
to discover, If possible, how such a
shocking state of affairs and condf-
tjons could exist, in view of the fact
that San Pedro harbor has been a
hone of bitter contention for more than
a quarter of a century, and as result
of the underlying principles governing
the title to tidelands water fronts ana
the entrances to harbors have been un-
covered and effectually solve all ques-
tions and matters involved in the har-
Dor controversy.
It may be briefly stated thus: All
things necessary for the protection.
preservation and perpetuity Of national
Sovereignty are adjuncts to the pre-
rogative powers of sovereignty, such as
the army navy, channels and river
beds of navigable streams, bays, har-
bors. all submerged lands along the
seacoasts, commencing at the extreme
high tide line and extending three
miles seaward, and are not subjects of
barter and private ownership; all these
are indispensable arms of national de-
fense and are therefore inalienable.

GUILTY OF HUNGER

POPULAR eastern magistrate
N asked a little boy to help him dis
4A pense justice. A special corre-
spondent OF the Los Angeles Herald
says five tramps arrested for riding on
trains were arraigned. What do you
think of these fellows7'' said the magis-
trate to the boy. Perhaps he expected
the lad to say, "A tough looking
crowd" or, "Give them the limit" but
he was staggered by the manifest wis
dom of the reply which actually came
from the youngster
"They look hungry" said he, "They
ought to be fed, think"
Fright" exclaimed the delighted
magistrate, and right indeed was the
boy. When poor fellows are picked up
in the great eastern cities to which, in
spite Of warnings, they win drift, and
when they are accused of the terrible
crime Of being without visible means of
support-that is to say, when they are
charged with being out of work and
dead broke,-they are not always guilty
of vagrancy. Far oftener, If the mag
istrates were as learned in human ma
ture as was the boy who had not yet
outgrown his intuitiye knowledge of hu-
man nature, they would be found guilty
of hunger in the first degree, and would
be punished by being sentenced to a
square meal.

PROSPERITY

4 S compared with the corresponding
~ period last year, there was an
"A increase of S87, ,062 in the valuation

Of SIS, 900 in eighty-fve days on an in
vestment of $4,000 on city property
shows real estate is still booming
steadily in the Los Angeles way
The story of the growth of Los An
geles is without precedent in history,
It has throughout been marked by a
paradoxical element, which will battle
observation-disclosures who may attempt
by ordinary methods to account for
the growth and prosperity Of Los An
geles. The paradox consists in this,
that whereas other cities owe their
growth to their industrialism, Los An
geles owes its industrlalism to its
growth. In most cases manufacturing
attracts population, but In the case of
Los Angeles population is attracting
manufacturing.
Many things have happened in Los
Angeles that in by-gone days would
have been pronounced absurd" or i'm
possible" by the conventionalist, and
we believe that, chastened by his ex-
periences with our wonderful and, to
him, somewhat mystifying city, the
conventionalist is prepared to accept
any development, however startling, of
the growth and prosperity Of Los An
geles with the calm assertion; Just
as expected. I told you So"

SANITARY FOUNTAINS

TT is proposed that old-fashioned
watering troughs should be done
Il away with. The state veterinarian
has told the councilmen nearly all cpl
denies of glanders, influenza and 9TH
er infectious diseases among live stock
may be traced to the watering trough.
At the same time prevention of cruelty
to animals demands that some provls-
ion should be made for watering
horses. The superintendent of the Los
Angeles S. P. c. A. says his organiza-
ton will not object to the abolition of
the old-fashioned wooden watering
troughs, but will resist any attempt to
do away with the new sanitary steel
fountains recently installed. Let the
old-fashioned watering troughs be re-
placed by sanitary fountains, and the
interests Of "our friend, the horse" will
be safeguarded.

FIFTY DOLLARS; FIFTY DAYS
John Roberts Accepts Latter Alterna- tive for Cruising Face of
 George Rutherford.

For kicking the face of George Ruth erford until it more nearly resembled a hamburger steak than the physiog of a human being, John Roberts, an em- ploye at Gatti's slaughter house, was assessed the sum of $50 in Judge Pratt's court yesterday.
 On the stand Roberts held to the story that he and Rutherford were driv- ing wagon when the latter fell from the scat and hurt himself. Rutherford had different tale to tell, however. His side of the affair was that when he declined to carry out an order given by Roberts that the latter knocked him down and kicked him into insensibili- ty. His face corroborated his testi. mony and the finding of the court was "guilty of assault"
 Roberts was unable to produce the required number of iron men and was committed to the county jail.
