AsRuzzPs POPULARITY

At Salsomag ggiore, says a writer III
McClures, there was laundress VINO
had always enjoyed the patronage or
the duke OF the Abruzzi whenever ne
came there to take the cure on his re-
turn from one of his expeditions. Tne
duke, of course, knew nothing ABOUT
this matter, which was attended TO py
his chauffeur-Va Now, for some rea-
son, of which 1 am ignorant, the serV-
ant had taken a notion to change lauh-
dresses: hence great humiliation on
the part of the good little woman VINO,
naturally, priced her celebrated patron.
What was she to do? She wanted TO
get an explanation of the matter, at
any rate, so one day she placed herselr
on the road where the duke was TO
mass. When he came up she said to
him: "Your highness is no longer sat
isfed with your former laundress"
"Who said soT"
'rWhy, your highness no longer sends
me his linen, and 1 am very unhappy
about it,"
''My poor child" explained the duke,
"I knew nothing about it! Come with
me, and we will settle the matter out
of hand"
No sooner said than done. The duke
ordered his chauffeur to send his linen
to his usual laundress in the future,
and when she narrated the incident to
me she added enthusiastically:
"And he isn't a bit proud, is our
duke for he is the first man that ever
lifted his hat to me-"

FALL DOWN STAIRS HIS
REGULAR WAY OF LEAVING

SANTA BARBARA, April 20.-[Edi-
tor Herald: Your story yesterday
about the man who always took sugar
in his soup can match.
About 1855 the supreme court held
it's sittings at Sacramento City in a
second story that was reached by an
outside iron stairway, just by degree
removed from the perpendicular. One
day, Just as the bailiff had made his
opening cry, a person from the ent-
rance at the head of the stairs made a
dubious way down the aisle without
giving a look either to the right or left
until brought up by the bar rail, when,
raising his head, he discovered that the
judges were on their bench, whereat,
making g. spreao-eagle Obeisance, ne
turntd without a word, retraced his
steps and, as he came, disappeared.
Before the gathering laugh of the
witnesses had bro,-en there was a
crash as though the iron stairs had
fallen, and there was an unceremonious
rush of bench, bar and unfortunates,
headed by the chief justice, for the
landing. The stairs were all right
clean and clear, but at the foot was
an object evidently struggling for up
rightness. The chief justice, near to
the speed of fall, FASTENED down.
"My God, Jo!" he exclaimed, catching
the struggling man in his arms. What
has happened? Are you killed."
"Wasse natter" came as a reply.
"Why," said the judge, 'you fell
from the top to the bottom of those
id iron stairs"
Fell nossing-allus comes down
stairs that araway." TELLER.

KISSING NO REASON TO
DENY VOTES TO WOMEN

Los ANGELES, April 22.-[Editor
Herald: And so the women of the
suffrage convention Kissed when Mr..
Taft said he thought "the ballot, so far
az women were concerned, would be
controlled by the less desirable class"
That is, they hissed when he insulted
them. A poor compliment this to the
memory of his mother, who believed in
her right to a voice in governmental
affairs; and to his father Judge Taft,
sr., who fully believed in the justice of
woman's demands, and on occasions
discussed with the writer the best line
of work. But women, because of this
objectionable sin OF Kissing Mr.. Taft.
are to be not only denied their right Of
expression by the ballot but of their
right to express themselves when their
feelings are outraged by kissing the
insult.
If Mr.. Taft does not know, every in
telligent man who has given the sub
ject his attention knows that the ad-
vocates of woman's enfranchisement
are, on the average, superior in general
intelligence and interest in the uplift of
humanity, to the less desirable class, -
and are not likely to be controlled by
them. Why has Mr.. Taft fear of the
less desirable class? Can it be the
condition in congress at its present ses-
ion? But that is only temporary The
desrables, the minority who are en-
deayoring to protect the interests of
the people, have not, no far, permitted
themselves to be controlled by "the
less desirable class"
I have read over the list of crimes
punishable by disfranchisement, but l
do not find among those crimes named
that Of kissing a speaker.
This idea that Kissing is a disquali-
fication for suffrage must be original
with Mr.. Taft; at least we do not find
it in the Republican platform. The
question naturally suggests itself
would Mr.. Taft apply this test of com
potency to vote to men who hiss a
speaker?

COLOSSAL GALL

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST
w imposed yellow journalism on
the American people, but he
has never succeeded in imposing him
self on the serious attention of the
nation. In view of the fact Mr.. Hearst
is not a typical citizen, and his yellow
journalism represents nothing but
freakishness, it must be admitted his
published Endorsement and approval of
the Taft administration and his con-
demnation of Colonel Roosevelt consti-
tute a climax in a career of saffron
publicity. The assumption the Amer
lean nation has been waiting for the
approval or disapproval of the admin
istration by the leader of an irrespon-
sible ragtag and bobtail that hangs
predatorily on the outskirts of the
great political camps is an illustration
of the Gargantuan gall that makes Mr..
| Hearst regard himself as indispensa-
BILE to the communities on which he has
foisted himself, undstinguished and
excepting for the unearned wealth that
gave him a start in newspaper publica-
tion, obscure.
Mr.. Hearst missed his opportunity,
and cannot mend matters now. At one
time 1t seemed possible a citizen of
great wealth who would make up his
mind to stay out of Theodore Roose-
velt's malefactor class and apply him
self to the interests of the American
people might become a power for good
in the nation.
But such money as the yellow journ-
alist had he sank, or it might be more
proper to say dissipated, in riotous
yellow newspaper making; and now.
tired of husks, the prodigal is making
overtures to the great political parties,
and giving the president of the United
States his personal Endorsement"
while, obeying the behests of the cor
porations to which application had to be
made for financial relief at a critical
period in yellow history, he has the
audacity to censure Theodore Roose-
welt and condemn the policies of the
strenuous and honest American gentle
men who labored to restore the ma
tional sense of honor and of self-re-

equipment and to make no use of II.
The frequency with which war talk
creeps into the American newspapers
leads the peace lovers of this country
who are said to be rapidly increasing
in numbers to ask the question, is
there anyone in the United States to-
day who is eager for war for the sake
of having war? If there is II would
help to clarity matters, no doubt, IL
he were to stand forth and honestly
to declare his position. An honest APP
prehension of war, no matter how un-
warranted and absurd, may be looked
upon as an error of judgment, and may
be an incentive for those holding such
views to seek TO have their nation pre-
pare for what they believe to be an
impending conflict; but to talk war for
the purpose of creating war is mon
strous proceeding utterly out of har-
mony with all the human attributes
that are presumed to be the legacy or
a higher civilization.
1t is reassuring that in opposition to
the ones who at times seem to be in
viting war for wars sake, there is an
other splendid body of men who are
seeking to have the nation act upon
the principle, I'm time of peace, pre-
pare for maintaining peace" If the
moral evolution of the race is to go
forward, nations must be sometime, as
individuals in the more civilized lands
are now, very much restricted in the
use of guns.

an unprinciples oppressor, but that he
is in private life, one of the most eyre

TT MAY prove surprise to know
that the first president, long de-
= scribed as first in the hearts of
his countrymen," was perhaps the most
notable victim of American muckrak-
ers. One writer of his time, styling
himself "a calm observer" asked in
the public prints, "What will posterity
say Of the man who has done this
thing? Will 1t not say that the mask
of political hypocrisy has been worn
by Caesar by Cromwell and Washing
ton alike?" And a man who used the
name of "Pittachus" wrote: Happily
the public mind is rapidly changing.
Hitherto the name of Washington has
been fatal to the popularity of every
man against whom it was directed.
Now 1t is as harmless as John O'Nooke
or Tom O'Stiles. To be an opposer OF
to popular favor"
The Aurora of March %, 1895, COM
menting on Washington's retirement
from the presidency, said: "It ever a
nation was debauched by a man, the
American nation has been debauched
by Washington. If ever a nation has
been deceived by a man, the American
nation has been deceived by Washing

SUCCESSFUL HARBOR

7 OS ANGELES harbor not only will
pay as a great commercial prop
AA osition, but will be the means of
bringing to Greater Los Angeles big
sums of money which will be distrib-
uted here in general expenditure Ac-
cording to reliable, expert figures sup
piled by Secretary Fleming of the har-
bor commission, last year more than
2200 vessels entered Los Angeles har-
Dor. carrying 200 seamen. Three
hundred thousand passengers arrived
and departed The Alden Bessie, which
is a small vessel took sixty carloads
of merchandise on her last trip, and
the captains bills showed he paid $4,-
900 for labor etc, while in this port.
Boats of one thousand tons and up
ward cost from $500 to $4,000 a month,
while boats from 500 to 1000 tons spend
$4,000 to $500; and lumber schooners
cost according to capacity from $4,000
to $4,000 a month.
AS a rule, the headquarters of the
line is the place where the money is
spent. Practically all the cost of oper-
ating the lumber steamers will be
spent in Los Angeles. Ships of the
Minnesota, Magnolia, Manchuria type
spend about $65,oOo a trip. which in
cludes payroll, commissary department,
and all things pertaining to the op-
Grafton of the ship. They make about
five trips a year and at very con-
servative estimate would distribute in
the city they start from $975,o0O year.
Los Angeles outlook discloses moth
ing but prosperity. The city has en-
tered upon a vitally important part of
its career, and there can be no doubt
the keen appreciation of personal re-
sponsibility displayed by each individ-
ual citizen will result in the greatest
good for the greatest number, and Will
send the metropolis forward to a rec
ord of achievement and success which
will demonstrate the virtues and the
efficacy of the Los Angeles way.
