THE LAW ABIDING ROOSTER
The municipal legislation and administration of
Pasadena are perpetual joy. Not long ago they
regulated by ordinance the crow of the obstreperous
suburban rooster and next they enacted law pre-
scribing the ingredients that should go to make up
the pie and the ice cream that might be sold to
school children Now they have a sanitary Inspector
who measures the strawberry boxes and if they hold
less than pint the vender is found guilty of crime.
But what does he do about the vociferous rooster
and his insantary midnight song?
LOS ANGELES FODDER
Los Angeles implores some ingenious chef to
invent toothsome dish that shall be distinctive of
that town and help to make it famous. The Wat
sonville Register obgngly comes to the rescue with
this appropriate recipe:
Take portion of hot air about Los Angeles
being seaport two portions of superheated
expression regarding the finest climate earth,
one and half portions of warmed up the
advantages of the place a health resort mix with
four bulletins issued by the chamber of commerce,
season with the expressions of any dealer in build
ing lots from the Huntington building to Monrovia
and serve in toy balloons. This will require
cooking, as will heat itself automatically This
is not distinctly Californian, of but ought
to be very popular south of Tehachapi.
Why not ask the Pasadena city council to enact
municipal recipe?

Reading in one OF the papers
that George Knight 'waxed elo-

tion and learned that the coun-
selor had denounced Abbott as an

who is now trying to write with
felonious finger desolation over
Flannery's home Obviously,
Abbott had dipped his felonious

THE MIXING POT
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, speak

FORBIDDEN GROUND
The society editor Of the Chronicle ventures on
forbidden ground. When speaking of the dissipa-
ton OF fortune given to the divorced wife of a
Los Angeles millionaire she goes on to relate how
IT was accumulated III this wise:
An interesting phase in connection with the dis
sipation of this fortune is the in which it
was accumulated by her first husband Edwin T.

Before the days of interstate commerce legisla-
iaton, which aimed to regulate of the evils
connected with shipping, it the custom for
private car lines to furnish the refrigerator equip
ment to the shippers of fresh fruits from Cali

Pacific and included in the freight charges.
The rates for this system of icing the fruit

OF the private lines and worked great hardship to

The cart tail campaign is one thing, the
platform campaign is another and more impressive
form; but all these give way to the political
auto. The late James H. Budd once made whrl-
wind campaign in a blackboard on forlorn hope
and Won in the face of an overwhelming normal
majority against him. He was a pioneer in this
primitive method of appeal and when he beat Horace
Page for congress it made him famous. Now the
candidates go roaring up and down the country in

include a talking machine operated by gasoline.

A $4,000 HANDICAP
The ground on which Willis Booth of Los
Angeles declines to as the organization candi-
date for the senate to succeed Flint serves to
illuminate the situation. Mr. Booth would make
credtabe representative of California in the senate
but he refuses to enter. because he is informed on
the best political authority that running as the
organization candidate he would at the start have
to spend $500 in every assembly district in the
state That IS to say, the primary campaign would
cost him $4,000 Mr.. Booth, | believe. might
have had the Endorsement of the Lincoln Roosevelt
league for this office, and in that his campaign
would have cost him nothing than his travelling
expenses The necessary conclusion from these
facts is that under the direct primary the indorse-
ment OF the organization amounts to a $4,000
handicap
No wonder the talent is sore perplexed to find
willing and acceptable sacrifice. This perplexity
eliminated the other day in the grotesque sugges-
ton that Oscar Lawler of Los Angeles might be
persuaded to throw himself into the breach Lawler
is the man who fixed up the famous letter exon
Grating Ballinger that long Overlooked
although so often asked for He is the man who
in his testimony before the congressional committee
described James R. Garfield and Clifford Pinchot as
component parts of "a foul flock In LAWYERS case

disrespectfully of Roosevelt IfWorks were guilty

influences that fear and detest Roosevelt busy
backbiting Works this score. although. in fact if
they believed he really hostile to what Roosevelt
stands for. they would be unanimously barking

and nasty hypocrisy of politics which has not even
the tawdry virtue of deceiving anybody and is
nothing better than form Of gratuitous and serle
selfdegradaton.

WILL IMPROVE
AMBOY AVENUE
AND STATE ST.

An inspection by Freeholder AL
fred #. Kerr and Street Commission
er George M. Adair Saturday after
noon will probably result In the i'm
provement of Amboy avenue and the
northern end of State street. The
spilling of clay from heavy draught
wagons has caused these roads to
become almost unfit for ordinary
usage. Clay, hard and soft, is sew
eral inches deep along some parts
of upper State street, and parts of
Amboy avenue are in a bad condi-
ton.
Freeholder Kerr noted that
speedy improvements are needed
on both roads and he informed Mr..
Adair that the subject would be ta-
ken up with the other freeholders
today. He promised the street com
missioner that Amboy avenue would
receive a new top dressing and
would be oiled in a satisfactory man
ner to allay the large quantities Of
dust 1t contains.
The clay factories using these
thoroughfares for carting clay will
be notified to have the droppage of
clay from vehicles stopped. They
must provide tight wagons, which
are not TO be overloaded, and the
wheels must be clean.
The chief trouble has been from
clay that Is dropped from large clay
wagons and then rolled down by the
wagon wheels.

this city, was second; Railway,
third; Sewaren, fourth; Great Kills,
fifth, and Keyport, sixth. The points
given were in accordance with the
position finished. Thus, Bentley
club, the winner, receives six points;
Raritan, five, etc.
The contest was one of the best
and most successful of its kind ever
held in this city, and the association
and officials were greatly enthused
by the result. The start, the race
and the finish was as excellent as
though 1t had been prearranged and
rehearsed. Not a foul was scored
and the crafty little vessels raced
around the course in fine style.
The vessels, one representing each
of the six yacht clubs entered, start
ed with one accord at 1891 o'clock,
and they finished in the following
time Bentley, ! hr. 26 min. 10

over triangular course, starting
from buoy near the Raritan Yacht

rat0r of the idea of holding the sez
ries, was starter. The start was by
a red flag. A fiye-minute prepAFa-

The race was a bowling success

CURED that tended to mar the event
and 1t passed off as one of the most
brilliant events In the history Of
yachting in this great water-bound
city of ours. The credit OF this is
largely due to Garret v. Evans, who
inaugurated and pushed the project.
He was ably assisted by members Of
clubs in neighboring towns in the

The donor of the handsome cup,
for which the series is being held, is
Peter @. Olsen. The trophy Is a
very valuable one and is one of the
most handsome gifts of its kind ever
donated for similar event here. 1t
was displayed in the jewelry store
of Frank S. Mead for several days
and Is now in the hands of the Rah-

be under the auspices of the Rah-

Following that event the cup will be
