 With Dignity.

The Jefferson county delegates re- turned last night from the Democra- tlc State convention, held in Little Rock Tuesday and Wednesday, and this city was prominently represented Ill the personnel of the great gather- ing. Hon. 5. M. Taylor, who was honored with the chairmanship of the convention, presided with credit and made many friends by the excellent manner in which he ruled on all questions that came before the meet ing. MT. Taylor was paid many com pllments for his services and with one or two exceptions only when the dele gates were wrangling over pending motions or resolutions, he command ed the respect and admiration of the delegates.
 Once, during yesterday mornings session, when the CarlLee Smith con- test from the Seventh Senatorial dis triet was being disposed of, Judge John M. Elliott, of this city, manag- ed to restore order from pandemon- ium, which reigned for some minutes in the efforts of the delegates to s'geU at a motion,' which had been offered by Judge Elliott The substance of Judge Elliott's motion was to adopt the report of the sub committee from the State Central Committee, which provided that the race should be run over again in Cross county and that the judges be named by the Senator ial committeee of that district Judge Elliott was urged onto the stage where he stated his motion clearly and it carried the convention by storm, being adopted on roll call. Later when Steele Hays tried to get through resolution to reconsider the matter, Attorney Creed Caldwell, Of this city, scored hit with the dele gates by denouncing the tactics of Hays and firing Democratic princi pies into the consciences of the al- legged "crowd of bolters' in the Sev- enth Senatorial district. So severe was MT. Caldwells speech that Carl Lee urged the author of the motion to withdraw it, which MT. Hays did.

New York, June S.-The cotton market was dull and featureless to- day, fluXuations being confined with in yesterdays narrow range. The near months were strong, particular ly August in which there was some heavy spot covering by western house. Weather conditions over nearly the entire belt are almost ideal for the new crop. Trade interests seem to be doing very little in the market Spot sales were only eighteen hundred bales today at un- changed prices.

 Little Rock, June S.-The State Democratic convention, which met here this week closed this afternoon after one of the most harmonious sessions ever held in this state. At no time was there any bitterness and throughout the session the best of feeling was manifested With the selection of the new committee and the election of Hon. R. F. Milwee, of Monroe county, and Bruce Bullion, of Faulkner county, chairman and secretary for another term, the con- vention adjourned.
 The new central committee is as follows by judicial districts: First P. R. Andrews; Second, l.. c. Going; Third, Sam Deener; Fourth, J. H. Mc1llroy; Fifth, B. B. Mitchell; Sixth, { W. G. Hutton; Seventh, H. B. Means; Eighth, J. H Head; Ninth, A D. Du- laney; Tenth, Garland Street.; E1ev- enth, Jack iBernhardt; Twelfth, w. J. Johnson Thirteenth, T R Vinson Four teenth; Rastus Bratton Fifteenth R. P. Allen; Sixteenth, F. M. Hanley; Sev- enteenth, A. J. Walls By congress s sional district. First, Louis Barton; Second, Lohman Kay; Third, Ben Me- Perrin; Fourth, 0. T. Wingo; Fifth, c. 0. Patterson; Sixth, Edgar Brew steer, and Seventh, John H. Greene. The election of Milwee and Buil-
 on was by exclamation, there be- ing no opposition to their reelection from any source. The platform as outlined in these columns heretofore was adopted. One feature which at tracted considerable attention, was the declaration against the removal of the State University from Fayette- Vile. Another was the favoring of the appointment of the State Peniten- uary Board in order to remove this institution from politics. Still an- other is that which favors a direct tax for the maintainance of the state charitable institutions. The Tenn perance question was covered by a e section which sends the matter to the legislature to take such action as it may deem necessary. This was brought to the attention of the con- vention by a resolution introduced by Col. George Thornburgh, president of

BONDS

VIZ ITH an abundant supply of pow
w er in sight, citizens interested
in industrial development are
looking forward with serene and con-
fident expectation to the not far
distant date on which our metropolis
will assume the position of manufaetur-
ing and Industrial capital of the west.
The report of the consulting board of
electrical engineers filed with the board
of public works shows 10000 hoI sc
power, or 80 per cent more than the
original estimate, can be brought to
Los Angeles from owens river aque-
duet.
This will enable the city to light its
own streets and public grounds, and TO
compete with and undersell the pow er
supply corporations. In the removal
of the profits exacted by the power cor
porations, a big special tax will be re-
moved from the industries of Greater
Los Angeles, and manufacturing in
dustrialism will receive an impetus the
good effects of which will be felt in
every department of municipal life
and activity.
Not only will there be an immediate
boom in manufacturing the output of
which will look TO Los Angeles har-
Dor and a government steamship line
for relief from rates gouge, but the
sale of power will yield the city
enough money with which to pay
Owens river bonds interest and sinh-
ing fund.
An appreciative realization of these
facts will stir up all good citizens 10
do their utmost to assure the success 5
of the bond election called for April
10, at which time also bonds will be
voted for closely related object. the
improvement and development of the
harbor The power bonds and the har-
Dor bonds will give Greater Los Ange-
les facilities which will establish in
disputably and permanently its leader
ship of the west. And Los Angeles
the greatest city in the west, will be
one of the greatest in the world.

SAYS MOTHER SHOULD MAKE
ANY SACRIFICE FOR CHILD

LOS ANGELES, March 6.-tEditor
Herald: l wonder if any one reading
the account of mother sending her
child to the penitentiary feels about
it as | do. Poor boy, IT makes my
heart ache. How I wish that / could
helm and befriend. him.
The simple fact of the woman giving
testimony or being instrumental IN
any way voluntarily, proves to my
mind that she is the one to blame. II
her heart had been full of true mother
love for her boy in all the years of MS
life that are passed he could not nave
been guilty of such a crime.

bad. even the very worst. The mother
that brought that poor little helpless
immortal soul into the world should,
after doing her whole duty i'm her eff
forts to bring him up right. have
shielded and protected him with her
very life willing to go down into the
very depths for what was once her
little, sweet, precious, innocent baby
for whom she is forever responsible.
would rather be in that sons place

think the agony of remorse would Kill

SEES CAUSE OF CRIME
IN INFLUX OF FOREIGNERS

LOS ANGELES, March 2.-lEditor
Herald: l wish to say that II. Z.
Tthoff's article of March l attacking
our school system is entirely without
argument and. l might say common
sense. American crime and criminals
do not come from the children OF our
public schools, but from the uh-
educated and foreigners. America mas
been the dumping ground for all other
nations. Many come here and stay III
our large cities. and instead OF pc
coming good citizens become menace
to our free institutions. The sum
element is nearly all foreigners. What
ought to be done would be either 70
colonize the foreigners In the country
or stop their coming altogether.
Mr.. Uthoff speaks of so many mur-
ders in America. If he Will look up
the statistics he will find that 80 per
cent is caused by the liquor trafnc, ana
the liouor business is largely In the
hands of uneducated foreigners. l ao-
init our civilization is not what IL
should be. and never will be as long
as so much selfishness and greed are
in the human heart. Selfish greed IKE
money is at the root of all evil. VIII
saw in conclusion that anyone VINO
attacks our public school system IL
not in harmony with good government
nor Americas best interests.

SAYS NEW CHARTER NEEDS
NOW GREATER THAN EVER

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Feb. 2s.--
Editor Herald: I read your editorial
in yesterdays paper which is appro-
pirate and timely. We need new
charter a hundred times more than we
needed the present one when 1t was
adopted. we need a new. progressive
charter, up to date. suitable for Great
er Los Angeles. Our city will contain
In few years a million of busy, thriv-
ing people To patch up our present
charter would be like putting new
patches of new cloth on old worm
out garments.
we need a charter for all the peo-
pie that will give "equal rights. equal
opportunities to all. special privileges
to none' The initiative, referendum
and recall should be retained, the peo-
pie given the right to rule, the rlgnt
to vote for what they want and get IL,
to call down officials who so wrong
and fail to carry out the VIII ana ,a VANS
of the people. The city, the people,
should have the right to own and ope-
rate the public utilities whenever tney
get ready and vote for them.
There should be provision maze tnat
the public work may either pc done
by contract or day work, eight nours
only for a days work. Our harbor
and the owens river aqueduct, the
water power and all the interests of the
people should be well guarded and pro-
tected. think the present committee
is a good one and capable. Let tnem
go ahead with the work When they
have done their work nominate by petl-
ton candidates for a board OF nfteen
freeholders to revise and flnish the
work. This would give time and OPP
portunity for the people and the papers
TO discuss and suggest what we heea
and want. 1t Is true 1t would cost
something, but it would be worth II.
1t is true so many elections cost 700
much. 1t seems to me that could easily
be prevented in the future by provlso
in the new charter that no speclal elec-
tions should be held oftener than every
three months, or four times year.
Several propositions could be voted ON
at one election. A.,
Grand Junction, Colo, has recently
adopted a new charter far in advance
of anything in the United States. They
have elected five commissioners by
vote OF the people, subject TO De re-
called. - -.
We want a new charter, the best
that can be made.
Yours for a New Charter.

THE FORESTER

MAYOR ALEXANDER'S sugges-
M tlon that the council abolish the
AA position of city forester, made
vacant by the resignation of Rev. j.
j. Harper, and commit the work to
the care of the park commis-.on, ac-
cords with the recent statement of
Judge Silent that the park department
should attend to the duties of forester.
The only possible excuse for the es-
tablishment of a separate salaried Of
flee Of forester would be the oppor-
tunity 1t might give for the engage
ment Of an expert. But neither Mr..
Harper nor any of those responsible
ever pretended he was an expert or
that he had had special training or
experience in forestration and gar
dening.
On the other hand, it is doubtful
whether Los Angeles could hire a quail .
fled expert for a salary Of $500. For
estration and gardening are special
lied scientific professions, and recent
developments in agriculture. horticul-
ture and arboriculture show that in the
future men Of unusual attainment and
skill and experience will be demanded
for positions in connection with these
scientific subjects which are closely
allied with the general subject Of tho
conservation and replenishing of ma
tural national resources, a policy of
predominant and overshadowing i'm
nnrtanCe.

CITES INSTANCE TO PROVE
FuTILITY OF VACCINATION


LOS ANGELES, March 4.-[Nitor
Herald: Another evidence OF the tu-
tility of vaccination as a preventive OF
smallpox.
All the daily papers last week had
an account of the breaking out OF an
epidemic of smallpox on one OF our
large war vessels. Since then we nave
seen the account of the death OF one
of the officers of that vessel.
1t is the regulation Of both the army
and the navy that all the officers ana
the men must be vaceinated on enter
ing the service and as often Thereafter
as the doctor may see fit and proper:
Now, IL this contention of those VINO
favor vaccination were true, tneh our
entire army and navy would be mn
mune from smallpox and there Woulu
not be the least occasion for alarm
whatever. But here we have an ac-
count from Seattle of not only cases sss
of smallpox, but of panic aboard the
ships and DEATH We have the mus
tration every few weeks of the tutilty
of the claims of vaccinationists.
In the paper that comes to my nome
every week from Pennsylvania there is
an account of the breaking out OF
smallpox in the public school OF Union
town, Pa. Now, Pennsylvania has a
compulsory vaccination law ana every
parent IN lndt Sldtei DNloAS -
can enter the public school is coin-
pelled to have his child poisoned by
order of the board of health and each
child must have it's certificate to pre-
sent to the teacher that he has been
duly poisoned according to the law;
And vet. Notwithstanding the claim or
the board of health, the janitor VINO
had been vaccinated had bad case OF
smallpox and he communicated II 10
over forty Immune pupils OF tle
common school. The school was ciose9
and ali the rooms were fumigated and
the town quarantined.
Very very great, indeed, Is vaccl-
nation as a preventive of smallpox.
