Inc description, time and methods IN
each case have been the same, but this is
me first time he has shot any of his VIC
tins
The four women were in the parlor when
Inc burglar appeared from the dining foom

ed only to frlghten the women. and Miss
blackstone jumped up and ran screaming
INTO an adjoining room. Instantly the In
uuder fired at her, and she fell over on
70 the couch near by, shot through the
heart. Miss Harriet Dow, in trying TO
save her mother from the attack of the
burglar, became the second target for the
numerous weapon, the bullet passing
through her scalp and fracturing her
skull. The burglar then rushed out OF
me house and escaped in the darkness
ana dense shadows of the many trees on
Round hill.

miners in the bituminous coal fields of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkan-
sas quit work last night The miners,
members of the united mine workers of
America, declared that the walkout was
not a strike, but merely a suspension of
work, pending an arrangement between
themselves and the operators OF a wage
scale for another year, the old scale hav-
ing expired with the month OF March
The men demand an increase of pay in
some instances OF five cents ton, and
in other instances more, and certain
changes in working conditions. Con-
fdence was expressed by the operators
that there will be no general coal IA
mine, large supplies of fuel having been
secured in anticipation of the walkout.

POSTAL DEFICIT

4 T the state Bankers association
n convention, James X. Lynch,
IA vice president of the First Ma
tional bank, San Francisco, and presi-
dent of the San Francisco Clearing
House association, cited the manage
ment of the postoffice with its $16,-
100000 deficit as an example of gov
ernment business methods, where red
tape instead of commonsense is used
AS might have been expected, the re-
suit of postoftice financiering is being
used as an awful warning" against
postal savings banks.
But several clearly indicated meas
ures of postoffice reform might make
the deficit less appalling, and create
more confidence in the suggestion the
government should aid small wage
earners to save money.
Some of the postofice deficit is due
to carelessness in weighing; some to
abuse Of the franking privilege. At the
same time, most citizens will agree
heartily with Mr.. Lynch that red tape
in the postottice or any other business
is a sorry substitute for common
sense

HELP REAL CHILDREN RATHER
THAN DREAM OF BOOK TOTS

LOS ANGELES. May 9.-[Editor
Herald: That the world really loves
books is proved by the great number
of libraries and the very large num-
ber of books taken into the homes per
month. Now, if the world really loves
human children better than paper
children the children of books, why
not have a library of children In the
place of inanimate books? Could not
the world learn about children better
from the children themselves than from

so fond of raving about?
I have time and time again, and so

LOS ANGELES HARBOR

n FFICERS of the Iran, British
ship which recently visited the
~ harbor of Greater Los Angeles,
say the port is becoming we'll known
among shippers all over the world be-
cause it can be entered at any time by
any ship in any kind of weather. IT.
is one of the safest and most commo-
dious harbors in the world.
Los Angeles harbor should be ad-
vertised constantly, persistently.
All the great shipping firms of the
world should be told of Southern Cali
fornia's seaport. the maritime gate
way to Greater Los Angeles. The
visit of the Iran will bring many
other vessels. Many firms would
make Los Angeles a port of call if
they knew the harbor was equipped
for the reception and protection of
deep draught vessels and had facili-
ties for loading and discharging cargo.
Oriental commerce and the develop
ment of the Australasian trading
routes will make the harbor of Great
er Los Angeles prosperous before the
opening of the Panama canal; and on
the completion of that great work
maritime Los Angeles will be one of
the biggest and busiest seaports in
the world.

Municipal Art Society of New York

(survey Press Bureau)

is proposed to make it available for all
the people.
The plan will bring to the very doors
of New York city tract all but wild.
While the Ramapo mountains. parts of
which probably will be bought. range
only from 1000 feet up, they are rug
ged, heavily wooded, full of tumbling
creeks, altogether delightful valleys,
green cups in the hills, faint trails
where roads once ran and what to an
eve accustomed to skyscrapers and as
phalt seem bits of the forest primeval.
The Ramapos are too steep and rocky
for farming, and this, coupled with the
fact that great tracts have been held
in rich mems estates probably explains
their remaining so long unspoiled by
New York city, ninety minutes away
by rail.
A days tramp through the Ramapos
draws many men and not a few stout
booted women out of New York. An
hour and a half by train and half as
much more up a meandering road to-
ward the nearest gap in the hills leave
one on his own resources in the woods.
The government maps show good roads,
but they fade away into nothing. In
the very middle of where the road
should be stands a fiourishing maple Is
inches thick. These were the roads
that Washingtons soldiers marched on
after '76, and precious little use have
they had since.

INCONSISTENT,
is DECLARATION OF ANXIOUS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20
Editor Herald: The effort of S. s.,
dated April 49, in defense of vege-
tariansm has not altered our opinion
of the inconsistency of yegetarians as
a class.
We are not opposed to the practice
of vegetarianism for those who prefer
it rather than a mixed diet-in fact, we
know some people are better off With
out meat, and that even some Vege-
tables prove antagonistic to people
occasionally, for instance cabbage TO
your humble serVant-but we do oD1ect
to having it crammed down our throats
as a sort of religious panacea for all
humanity's ills, as our friend E. r. a.
presented it, and S. S. seems equally
egotistical in regard to it. May we
suggest that before she starts her
society for the prevention of cruelty
to cabbages" that she take a course
in structural botany as she admits
knowing nothing of "the nervous sys-
tenn of plants" AS to their capacity
for suffering, we must take some
things for granted, using common sense
in comparing actions in similar cases.
As far as individual preference is
concerned we prefer plants as food
cabbage eXcepted-but as it is hard on
our friends we try to even things up
by substituting animals occasionally.
Being willing to allow the Almighty
credit for some intelligence in the ar
rangement of the universe, after care
full study we have come to the con-
clusion that we were made to be
devoured and as long as we are forced
to maintain colonies of microbes in
our own mechanism, thereby doing our
part to sustain life, although not al
together voluntarily, our heart does
not bleed at the taking Of life of either
plants or animals as means of sup
plyinC us with the WhereWithal for
combat, knowing that in due time we
shall have contributed as much for
the maintenance of life on this planet
as we have absorbed from it.

POPULATION

n UEsSERs at the population of the
~ United states are warning us 10
W prepare to find it mot up to eX-
pectations." They think the forecast
Of increase is always much larger than
the actual increase. But they have
left out of account one important ele-
ment, which doubtless viii have a
tendency to make the increase Of pop
ulation somewhat less than the most
sanguine have anticipated.
For some years there has been a
steady EMIGRATION from the United
states. Various rural districts in the
older states have been practically de-
populated. Hundreds Of thousands Of
Americans are now living on the Can
adian side of the border British
America has profited greatly at the
expense of the population of the United
states. No doubt there are as many
Americans on the North American con-
tinent as the forecasts indicate, but
they are not all i'm the United States.
Great regions of Canada are now
American in everything but the flag.
