work is likely to increase the con.
sumption largely, and as much as IS
to 30 cents a day has been earned by

Bigger and better than ever can
be said with truth regarding the Ha-
genbeck and Wallace shows which en-
tertained thousands in this city yes
terday. The circus is undoubtedly
the best that has come to Richmond.
1t has something on all the others,
none excepted. It has all the at
fractions of the small three-ringed ag-
gregations and the exhibition of
trained wild animals in addition. And
the trainer actually puts his head in
the lions mouth. There is an abb
sence of the sensational features.
such az loopthe-loop and automobile

the real good thorough circus that
feature of that kind would seem out
of place.
Out Just Week.
The circus has been out only a
week and thee are a few places
where things do not run smoothly but
unless one is looking for them they
are hard to find. It was unusually
cool yesterday and last night and the
performers were handicapped by this
fact. The ground was Doggy from the
heavy rains and that made the going
in the hippodrome races somewhat
harder. but chances we're taken and
the riders and drivers went their
usual breakneck pace.
Better aerial work has not been
seen in this city than that put on by
the Wallace performers They ap-
peared IS marvels on the trapeze and
horizontal bars. They sommersaulted
and leaped about at the top of the
tent as II It were child's play. The
ground tumbling was excellent The
hand to hand balancing was up to the
standard. There was bicycle riding of

RETAINED IN SPITE OF
Her VISIT TO RACES
MRS. CONNOLLY WAS MERELY
EMERGENCY EMPLOYE
President of Civil Service Commission
Himself Champions Her Cause,
and Council Passes Re=em=
pIoyment Resolution

The case of Mrs. Sadie Connolly,
clerk in the supply committee room,
was settled last night by the civil
service commission permitting her
name to remain on the eligible list.
Mrs. Connolly had come under the
froWn of the commission for attend
ing the races Christmas day. The
commission has promulgated a rule
forbidding any civil service employe to
attend the races on pain Of instant dis
missal. Mrs. Connelly's case was pc
culiar and she did not believe the
rules applied to her.
She had been appointed for an
emergency and her position had not
even been created by the council. AL
though no place was made to be filed
the civil service commission called an
examination. Mrs. Connolly took it
and a few days later attended the
races. Being an emergency appOintee
she believed she was exempt from
civil service rules and presented her
case so convincingly to DR.. D. w.
Edelman, president Of the civil service
commission, that he champiOned her
cause at the meeting last night and
on his recommendation her name was
permitted to remain on the eligible
list
The council yesterday passed reso-
luton re-employing Mrs. Connolly for
the remainder of January.

SCHOOL BONDS

LIVERY good citizen of the fair city
II of Los Angeles must have keenly
u felt the reflection on our city con-
tanned in the fact that sometime ago,
before the public schools opened, many
children who desired to secure that
opportunity for an education which
should be free to every child Of the
republic, were compelled to stand in
line during all Of one night in order
to secure for themselves places in the
congested educational institutions Of
the city.
Today good citizens are offered an
opportunity of providing against the
recurrence of such a disgrace by vot-
ing for the issue of school bonds asked
for by the board of education. In vot-
ing for these bonds the voters will
simply be adding to a bonded indebt-
edness of 1913, 900 on a wealthy city
of 300, 900 people an issue of $4,000 in
bonds to secure a fund for building alb
solutely necessary school houses and
affording absolutely necessary facilities
for the education Of the children whose
welfare should be the most sacred care
of every community.
The present bonded Indebtedness of
the city Of Los Angeles, which does not
stand for property producing an in
come to the city, is the merest baga-
telle for a community the size and
wealth Of this. If it were ten times
what it is it would not justify our
citizens in depriving the children of
the means of acquiring an education
to fit them for properly discharging the
duties of citizenship to their COM
munity and to give them an even
start for earning their living in the
world
The Herald does not believe the peo-
pie of Los Angeles are ready to adj
vertise to the world the fact that our
city will not afford opportunities for
an education to all the children within
it's limits.
A defeat of the bonds will be such
an evil advertisement, and our people
may be sure that advantage will be
taken of it by other communities that
are already jealous Of the superior at
fractions as a, home city which Los
Angeles has shown and to which she
is indebted for her wonderful growth
in the past.

OUR WEALTHY CITY

DOsTOFFICE figures give striking
testimony of the growth and
L prosperity of Los Angeles. The
Christmas business was the greatest
in the history Of the city. The in
crease in postal receipts for 1908 over
those of 1907 was $51,623.54; the total
annual receipts for 1908 being $685.
493.04. The wealth of this community
is being increased constantly. Every
day finds Los Angeles richer than it
was the day before. And every day
finds it better than it was the day be-
fore. This beautiful city, the home Of
refinement, culture, intelligence, must
adopt for one Of it's aims the abolition
Of poverty. There are not many very
poor people in Los Angeles. There
should not be any. Children should
never be prevented from going to
school because their parents are too
poor to send them there. The city
where every citizen is prosperous is
the truly prosperous city. The only
unanswerable criticism which might be
brought against the United States is
that the progress of the nation is still
logged by cases Of poverty. There
must be some way of providing en-
ployment for all who are willing to
work, and we in Los Angeles should
find the way.

GOVERNOR AND REBATES

NOVERNOR GILLETT in his first
T biennial message says California
W has not kept pace with the major
ity Of states in enacting laws regulating
common carriers. He calls attention
discrimination in charges or facilities
for transportation shall be made by
any railroad or other transportation
company between places or persons, or
in the facilities for the transportation
Of the same classes of freight or pas
sengers within this state or coming
from or going into any other state.
He adds, ''That this provision of the
constitution might be properly en-
forced, the trainers of it created a
board of railroad commissioners" The
provisions of the constitution are
broad, he points out, and if properly
enforced would settle most Of the COM
plants now existing and being made
against railroads and transportation
companies doing business in this state.
If present laws do not meet conditions
existing, if they are not broad and far
reaching enough to prevent rebates
and determinations, under the consti-
tuition, the legislature has the power
to enact laws that will. The governor
criticises the act organizing and de-
filming the powers OF the state railroad
commissioners as entirely insufficient
cit does little more,' he remarks, than
organize the board, fix the salaries Of
nd NF a nv
bailiff and stenographer, locating it's
office in San Francisco and providing
for it's meetings. The other provisions
of the act have proved to be made
quate to afford sufficient relief or
grant an adequate remedy against re-
batting and determinations in the past,
claimed to have been carried on by
common carriers in this state. The
act should therefore be amended or
entirely repealed, and a new law
passed to take its place. which will
contain the necessary provisions to
meet the requirements of the consti-
tuition, and put an effectual stop to
rebating and determinations that
might hereafter occur" He recon-
mends that persons who knowingly
receive favors prohibited by law, and
not granted to other shippers, should
be held equally guilty with those who
grant such illegal favors; and says the
violators of the law should be pun
ished by fine or Imprisonment, or by
both.
The governor defines rebating by say
ing: 1.-THE law should be so drawn
that the offense of rebating is COM
mitted when it appears that freight
has been shipped at cost less than
the published rates.

TEACHERS TOUR

nURING this week double votes will
IL be allowed on all subscriptions
- turned in for the teachers tour
contest. We call the attention of our
readers to the contest score, which is
being kept on another page.
Readers of The Herald are voting on
the question of the membership of q
party of teachers who will make a tour
to the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposi-
ton as guests of Los Angeles Her
aid. This great exposition will be held
at Seattle, Wash, from June 1 to Oc-
tober Is, 1909. The Herald is opening
a way by which a dozen school teachers
may visit the exposition. Six of these
teachers will be chosen from Los An
geles county, three from the city Of
Los Angeles and three from the county
at large outside the city. One in each
instance will represent San Bernardino
county, Orange county, Santa Barbara
county, Riverside county, Kern county
and Ventura county.
The tour will afford many educational
advantages, and the teachers who visit
the exposition will acquire much in
formation with regard to the Pacific
coast and the western United States.
At this period in national history it is
important that all school teachers
should take interest in the growth and
development Of the Pacific coast states
No one can make predictions as to the
future, but the old and often quoted
line which says Westward the course
Of empire takes its way is being full
filed. The great history OF the United
States has hitherto been written on
the Atlantic coast, but nearly all the
recent international struggles have
been conducted within the Pacific
sphere of influence; and the biggest
competitive struggle of all is one in
which the ka-Yukon-Pacif1c expo
sition is an incident, the development
Of American commercial and mercan-
tile and maritime life in the west.
After visiting the Alaska Yukon-Pa
cific exposition The Herald party Of
teachers will be better able to appre.
ciate the significance and value to this
Pacific coast of San Pedro harbor and
the Panama canal.

LIFE INSURANCE

II IFE INSURANCE underwriters of
IL California demand legislation
- which will put their important
business on firmer and more stable
basis in this state. Our hearty advice
on tits subject would be similar to that
which we offered on the subject Of fire
insurance-and we are glad to say it
was taken. This advice is, in a case
Of this kind, the legislators should &C
cept and adopt the suggestions of ex-
perts.
Life insurance, like other branches of
insurance, is a complicated subject, and
the ordinary business or professional
man who has not made a special study
of it will almost certainly blunder if
he attempts to draw up laws without
consulting specialists.
Other things being equal and the
public having confidence in the hon
esty and public purpose of those who
demand special legislation, suggestions
offered by business experts should re-
ceive most careful consideration. If the
life insurance men say they need legis-
lation we may rest assured they need it,
and should have it.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL CREATE JOB
FOR DISAPPOINTED POLITICIAN
Harper and City Legislators Try to Placate Jim
Craig, Who Sought to Be Chief, by Making New
Position of Inspector of Licenses"

One Of the rawest pieces of politics
of which the present council has been
responsible was the attempt to create
Craig. But Wren and Dromgold effect
lively blocked the plan, and the matter
went over a week.
Until Monday Craig was firmly con-
WINGED he would be appointed chief of
police when Kern resigned to become
a member Of the board of public works,
but Monday a new light broke on him
and he learned he would get two half
hearted votes from the police commits
sion-the mayors and that of Nathan
Cole, jr. The other commissioners were
pledged to vote for Broadhead. When
Craig was finally convinced he could
not have the $3.50 a month job as chief
of police he was humbly willing to take
anything that offered.
AS a reward for Craigs faithful work
at the primaries and polls in the Second
ward, the mayor conceived the idea OF
creating the position of inspector OF
licenses. The mayor has had this idea
for some time and had suggested 1t tC
Craig before, but Craig was not then
willing to compromise. He wanted tC
be chief of police.
Accordingly, five members Of the
council were taken into the confidence
of the mayor yesterday morning. 1t is
probable that the three other members
present had been consulted by the may
or or some Of Craig's friends, but they
would not stand for the plan.
Mushet Helps
When all was quiet yesterday morn
ing and the council was preparing tC
adjourn for the noon recess, City
| Auditor Mushet brought the mayors
plan before the council in concrete form
| by recommending the creation of the
position of inspector of licenses, to be
attached to the police department.
Councilman Clampitt, in whose ward
