THE GRADUATE

Last week was a clearing season for
many of the colleges. The present one
will bring to a close the year for oth-
ers, and some of them the largest and
most important, and as the month goes
out the cloister gates will be shut al
most everywhere. All this means a
reimbursement in the social forces and
business activities of the country. Mr..
Carnegie has splendidly endowed an
institution for the purpose of finding
1.-THE exceptional man." The motive Is
wholly worthy, but as rule the excep-
tional man has 10 find himself. There
can be no definite forecasting concern
ing the part that any particular class
in any particular college is going TO
take in the world large things are
usually expected of the young men who
have maintained high mediocrity dur
ing their college course, but chances
are that that will continue to be their
standard in life's larger activities.
Ouite as often it happens that the stu
dent who has been in no way dlstin-
guished during his academic career
dungeons unexpected and surprising
movers when the supporting arms that
for four years have been around him
are withdrawn.-Boston Transcript.

POOR FELLOWS!

NIGHTTIME the order Of the inter
X state commerce commission to
Il reduce rates, the Pullman Palace
Car company again comes forward
with a tale of woe about its poor bust
ness. 1t cites as an instance train
of the Santa Fe road on which there
is an alleged loss of $7.5S a passenger.
1t is very silent about some other facts
about the companys profits that are
easily ascertainable.
On February 10 of this year the
Pullman company directors divided
among the stockholders $2o000,00O
profit in the form of stock dividend,
worth in the open market about $40
DOC, 600. and swelling the companys
total capitalization to $1200oQ.00 In
the past twelve years the Pullman
company has cut up melons like this
of $64, 600. OOO which didn't cost the
stockholders a cent.
The watered stock pays IS a year
per share and sells in the market
around 5000 a share. Last Julys state
mcnt of the corporation showed sur
plus of about $1O,00O,000. J. Pierpont
Morgan is one of the controlling fig
urcs of the palace car trust.
This, gentle reader, is the company
that is now moaning to the interstate
commerce commission about an $50
lated instance where it alleges it loses
$75S a passenger

COMMEMORATE ENTER
PRISE

m HE Los Angeles Express has sub
scribed 100000 as the nucleus for
l. fund of $2,OOO,O0O which that
newspaper has urged should be pro-
vided by the philosophical citizens
of Los Angeles to carry on the great
owens river aqueduct work.
The Express is to be congratulated
for it's enterprise and magnanimity.
such a generous offer will not be al
lowed to pass unheeded by the appre-
ciativc citizens of Los Angeles. The
early completion of the aqueduct is
of vital Importance to all of Los An
geles. and the commendable efforts Of
The Express to raise the desired
amount of capital within the next
month, backed by such a generous do
nation, should meet with quick ana
liberal response from our citizens who
by subscribing as they should to this
fund, can easily raise the desired
amount without the least inconveni-
enCc.
Complete the aqueduct.

RECEIPTS $4,000

n NE word with the good people who
were so oVerjoyed when the prize
~ fight was banished to Nevada by
Governor Gillett that they passed full
some resolutions praising his act as
that of patriot and conserver of the
public morals There are signs that the
governor is going to try to use the
good will he secured by that act as
political capital. That there may be
no further deception, it is well to note
the working of a slick politicians mind.
The Southern Pacific railroad admits
having carried 1900 passengers to the
prize fight in Reno and received in
fares therefor the sum of $4,000. When
Gillett banished the fight from San
Francisco he diverted it from point
where the Southern Pacific would have
had to share this business with rival
railroads to a point where it would get
the whole thing. Knowing the friend
ship of Governor GilIett for the S. p,
and his political Indebtedness for his
nomination and election to w. II. Her
rim, the s. p. political manager, is it
not as clear as anything a politician
ever did that Gillett played directly
into the hands of the S. p. when he
took the action he did (after iterating
and reiterating he Wouldn't, knowing
that he wouldn't hurt the business of
his friends and hoping that he would
at the same time be hailed as the
champion of righteousness?
The Herald exposed this duplicity
when GiIlett made his spectacular play.
Every subsequent incident connected
with the affair up to the admission of
the S p. that it made a fortune out of
the fight has proved what this paper
said. If the governors act had been
sincere; if it had prevented the fight;
if it had proved his Independence of the
S. p. control, The Herald would be the
first to praise it and him; for this jour
nal is sincerely opposed to pugilism.
AS it was and is, The Herald believes
the theatrical affair is so discrcditable
to him that it ought to receive popular
condemnation.
1t will have that condemnation when
the good people who are not skilled in
the tricks of the political trade see it in
its true light.

SUGGESTS NEW PLAN TO
MANAGE INSANE ASYLUMS

Editor Herald: The case of Mrs
Edward Briggs, who was held in the
Stockton state hospital for nineteen
years though she was perfectly sane
is but one of scores of instances of
like character in other states.
The way to remedy like cases and to
prevent repetition is to abolish the
despotism of such hospitals, This can
be done by giving the natural right of
government to the relatives and best
friends of the inmates, enabling the
relatives and friends to appoint the
governing bodies of the institutions.
The next step would be a roll call,
check list and identification of all in
mates and in the presence of relatives
and best friends, but without neWspa-
per publication of the names of the
inmates.
The next step would be the granting
of a transferable carte blanche to any
relative or best friend of the inmate
said card giving an extra right of Wis
itation of any ward or room, any min
ute, night or day, and without warn
ing
A final reform would be the employ
ment of one or more relatives of in
mates on every shift in every ward
A woman might be a patient in ward
number 10 and her husband might be
an attendant in ward number l, a
male ward man might be patient
in ward number 1 while his wife might
be an attendant in female ward num-
Der 10: and thus would two wards be
safeguarded against brutality
As every political party is coward
on the question of hospital reform
maybe the women's clubs and churches
would take up the question. 1t Is true
that the churches are sought to be IN
fluenced against the inmates and on
the ground that insanity is form of
devil possession, but perhaps the
Briggs revelations may call halt to
this form of fanaticism.
REFORMER.

AN IMPERATIVE DUTY

n NE thing the new milk ordinance
I ought to insure, however it may
" do ii and whoever is hurt by it:
The milk supply of Los Angeles should
be made pure, and. the stamp of the
health department should be an abso-
lutte guaranty of the fact. Too many
lives are at stake to temporize with
this question. The danger of harm to
infants should be more potent than the
threats or pleas of anybody,
If to insure such a supply means
hardship to some dairymen, or short
supply for a time, the fact is unfor-
tunate But it should not deter the au-
thorities from doing a plain duty. 9th
er large cities require and compel pur-
ity in the milk supply. What they do
Los Angeles can and should do. If it
is necessary for the railroads to furnish
cooling cars, as they do in other COM
muntes they must be made to do It,
If the rigid inspection of diaries and
the condemnation of impure milk are
irksome and costly to careless pro-
ducers, it ought nevertheless to be in
sisted upon. If a tuberculin test causes
the loss of some cattle, too bad, but
it ought TO be made and enforced.
The same arguments against the pro-
posed milk ordinance that are advanced
this year would be as good Cor bad)
next year, and the next, and the next.
Horace Greeley said of specie pay
ments: THE way to resume is to
resume" The way to get a good milk
supply is to get 1t.

"THREADS"

We draw the threads from life's great net'
As we journey, journey on;
TIL passing years reach out and claim
The ends SO ragged and worn.
There are bright, bright threads OF pleasure
which dazzle our finite eyes,
while the threads of fame, ambition,
We seize as they proudly rise.
For the threads of wealth and power
We work with our utmost strength;
Defying the fates to weaken,
Or take from hopes promised length.
All all hang idle and useless;
Symbols OF llfes futile race;
Where mortal must e'er surrender,
And bow to Times measured pace
Arise, sad heart. and find the thread
Which awaits the souls uplift;
Then dream Of peace, OF Joy sublime;
Immortality's great gift

WORK AT VETERANS HOME

Editor Herald: After reading the
piece in the paper we want TO tell
you what we all think of our positions
and let you hear the Mattresses SIDE
of the question, so you will see 1t is
not so fine here as we were told before
coming The old soldiers are all good
to us and treat us fine, but while they
complain of the food they have to eat
we have the same as they. Each girl
is doing the work of three men, be-
sides sweeping out the dormitory,
scrubbing the halls and toilets and
scrubbing around their beds, for only
$50 a month. The matron is good to us
and wants to see us get better food. or
course we can leave or stay, which
ever we want, but we're living on
promises. 1t is not our fault that they
wanted Mattresses here at the home.
We only answered the call for help in

In the first place, a point is defined by

which hath no parts and no magnitude?
In the second place, a pin will not stand
on its head much less, therefore Will not
