King Edwards Funeral.

London streets yesterday We're packed
as never before. The crowds were not
only enormous, but filed with the spirit
of genuine sorrow order and reverence
marked the sad demonstration Mr.
Roosevelt. who is familiar with great
gatherings is quoted as having been I'M
pressed with that feature of the picture
and King George, in his tribute to the
work of the police. mentions how they
were assisted by the admirable demeanor
of the people.
There was everything 30 warrant the
feeling exhibited. King Edward had
served his country in way to increase
its prestige everyw here. Old friends had
been drawn nearer: old enemies changed
into friends. In Russia. in France. and
here in America. the British name has a
hold upon good will it never had before.
The rule of nine years had eXtinguished
many of the asperties OF very long
standing.
At home the sovereign had appealed to
his subjects on ali scores. He had shared
their tastes. He had encouraged their
sports. He had applauded and fostered
their national pride. He had been. so to
say, ore of them. Praise of the king had
down TO the man at the bottom. All
classes and conditions had been one in a
hearty admiration of the. man on the
throne.
That the foreign visitors were in
structed as well as impressed by the
spectacle and its meaning we may all
believe. 1t carries much significance.
The man who cam is still assured of
reward When alive and doing he has
a devoted following. When dead-when
. the laberer's task is oer''-he goes to
his grave sincerely mourned by all he
has served. The leading figures in that
train yesterday viii all take heart for
their people from what they saw Of Eng
lish character.
AS for the new king. the inspiration
he must have received should show
throughout the whole of his reign. His
would be a difficult task under any cir
cumstances If he possessed exactly his
fathers temperament and methods of
procedure 1T would severely test his pow
ers to go forward with his fathers un-
completed policies. But he brings to his
labors different temperament, and nee
essarily his methods must be his own.
Still, his fathers course must in many
things be his guide, and he will want to
add to what his father has done for the
empire.
There is peace today throughout the
world, and it should be the more secure
because of this great manifestation of
sorrow at the death of a king whose
labors for peace had made him one of
the leading influences of the world.

Back to the Land.

The baek-to- the-land propaganda is
proceeding famously and the propa-
sahoists rejoice at the outlook 1t
would seem that If a halt has not al
ready been called to the indiscriminate
hooking to the city of persons i'll
equipped for fiercely competitive urban
NE one soon will be called. There are
many reasons. These include satisfac-
tory returns for farm products, neces-
sity Tor intensive farming and in
creased employment of labor-saving
implements, better demand and higher
pay for agricultural laborers, progress
slve fertilization of land, more of the
conveniences in country homes, more
social features and diversions for the
young and old, better schools, better
roads, bigger and more varied stocks
IN rural stores. telephones, daily mail
delivery and numberless things that
go to make up what We call life
fural communities have undergone a
remarkable change in generation.
Inc line between country man and city
man Is being wiped out 1t is hard to
nnd the rustic of twenty years ago, un-
less You look for him on the stage in
some old homestead drama City peo-
pie are more prone to the purchase of
gold bricks, green goods and mining
stocks than their country cousins. Life
in the country is not what it used to
be. 1t is becoming more difficult to
find isolation, solitude and what city
people like to call primitive conditions
There is a decided backf1ow from the
cities to the country. The trolley car
and the automobile have helped this

acres instead of a narrow city lot, gild
his land with pumpkins, listen to low

Conversation.
all came true,

If conversation all came true,
This world would be a wonderland.
Strange courses would our lives pursue
Which none Of us could understand.
Though each might have his way in turn,
Destruction would await each scheme
That was set forth for man to learn
And all would be a troubled dream.
So let us chatter while We may,
Since we are in that pleasant state
Where words are launched upon their
way
AS joyous things of little weight,
Until the time when speech is sure
Well romp the good old grammar
through,
Nor pause to think what we'd endure
If conversation all came true.

Mr.. BrYan's OratorY.

Mr.. Bryan gently rebukes his perfervid
admirers. His oratory is great, he says,
only when his texts are. In other words,
he must first be inspired himself before
he can inspire others. Yes, but there
are Bryan men who will still find inspira-
ton in all he says. He has hypnotized a
large number of his followers, and the
spell will last while he lasts. The bare
sight of him fills them with a sort Of
ecstacy, and any word from his mouth
possesses an incalculable value.

SANTA FE WRECKAGE IN
MOUNTAINS CLEARED OFF
Cause Is Fixed for the Accident That
Resulted in the Death of
TWO Men

SAN BERNARDINO, March 20-At
noon today, after having blocked the
mountain district of the Santa Fe for
over twenty-five hours, the disastrous
wreck of yesterday at Lugo siding was
cleared and traffic resumed.
On one side of the wrecked locomo-
tive and cars was a bluff and on the
other side a drop of ten feet. making
it impossible to build a "shoo-fly." 1t
was necessary to pick up the demol-
ished engine and cars and repair the
track before traffic could be re-
sumed.
]. NJ. Rowe, the young fireman who
met his death, had the day before sue
cessfully passed his examination to be-
come an engineer. On his very next
trip, after meeting with the examining
board, he went to his death.
The coroners inquest, held this af-
ternoon, definitely set the cause of
the wreck The engineer, a short dis
tance before reaching the switch. where
the train was derailed, made an ap-
plication of air, and a portion of the
brake rigging beneath the engine
broke allowing the brake beam to
drop and drag on the ties, finally
catching and splitting the switch.

BOARD OF LABOR OPENS
FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Fifteen Trades Are Represented in
Headquarters for Pasadena
Workingmen

PASADENA. March 2O.-The Pasa-
dena board of labor, which 1t is claim
ed represents 500 union men of Pas
adena in fifteen trades. has opened up
for business its free employment bu-
reau and reading rooms at 45 South
Fair oaks avenue. The rearrange-
ment of the seven rooms for the use
of the board necesstated rewriting the
upper part of the building and making
other changes, some of which are not
vet completed, but which will not in
terfere with the use of the rooms. A
formal opening will be held when the
work is finished.
Secretary Fluff reports that he placed
a bricklayer in a position on the open
ing day, Saturday, and that Business
Agent Ross of the carpenters union
who has heen conducting a free en-
ployment bureau for carpenters in the
stanton building, will move his office
Monday to the new headquarters OF
all organized labor in the city.
Several of the smaller unions will
hold their meetings in these rooms and
the officers of the labor board state
that the new organization will serve as
a clearing house on all questions per
tanning to the Workingmen and their
employers.

rorpedoes Make Poor scores

So far the torpedo boats at record practice
in the outer harbor are making a very poor
showing compared with previous years. Eight
torpedoes are fired at a net 100 feet long at
1000 yards range, and the score makes the
official record for each boat The practice
takes place at night and all lights are out
aboard the ship while the run is being made
The torpedo itself Is lighted so that II may
be easily recovered.
Friday night the Whipple and Prebble were
on the range. On ACCOUNT Of heavy Fog
about midnight only three torpedoes were tred
by each boat The Whpple missed all three
shots and the Prebble made one hit Last
night the Whippe went out again and scored
one hit The only boat that has completed the
record practice Is the Perry. She made but
four hits In the eight shots. Each boat is on
the range two nights firing four torpedoes each
night
The Perry has held the record for several
years. An official dispatch has been received
from Washington announcing that she had
won the pennant again last year for the record
at the record practice held at Magdalena bay
The men on the Perry had tuned their gyro-
scopes perfectly and made hit with every
torpedo during the practice which has con-
tinued here for the past two months. They
were disappointed and other crews were sur
prised that she made so poor showing at the
record practice.
The secret Of a hit with a Whitehead tor
pedo depends not so much on the marksman-
ship Of the man behind the tube when the
torpedo is fired as on the adjustment OF the
gyroscope that holds the torpedo to Its course.
There are six rudders on the torpedo and
they are controlled by the gyroscope through
valves on the compressed air compartment
Were II not for the gyroscope the propellers
operated by a compressed air engine would
not send the torpedo through the water on a
true course. no matter how true the aim OF
the gunner might be.
AS fast as the record practice is completed
the other nine boats Will follow. March 80
the crews Will give grand ball az san Diego.
