THE HERALD'S CITY CIRCULATION The Herald's circulation In the elty of Los Angeles Is larger than that of the Examiner or the Express and second only to that of the Times. The "stick-up men" appear to have left Los Angelos and are now, doing San Bernardino. So it seems the Sixth ward had two counciimen, in stead of one. No wonder the Sixth warders howled. Another eastern outlet from Los Angeles Is reported as being projected by the Southern Pacific company. There still is room for a few more such terminals, but the space is going fast. The capture of a woman in male attire, suspected of being one member of a couple In the hold-up business, shows rapid evolution in I-os Angeles crime. Woman's "sphere of industry" is broadening too fast. The city of Chicago has sued the Standard Oil com pany for $40,000,000. How It would Jar the average man * to be served with a summons and complaint intimating a purpose to take judgment against him for that tidy sum! It was fortunate, anyway, that the recall blunder occurred so nearly at the end of Davenport's term. That reduced the disastrous consequences in a measure. It is mighty poor consolation, but all that seems to be in stock. The new chief engineer of the Panama, canal says the tide in the Pacific rises ten feet higher, and falls ten feet lower than on the Atlantic side. But tides of ten feet are trivial compared with some political tidal waves in the United States. Turkey is adopting American ways in its progress of enlightenment. A dispatch from Constantinople states that nine Servians were lynched in a bunch. The march of evolution on the American plan may be noted next in the line of politics. The fact that a local syndicate cleaned up a snug $50,000 quickly on a Broadway property deal does not signify that the last purchaser "paid too dear for his whistle." The property referred to is rated by good judges as well worth the money. "On what doth this our Caesar feed that he hath grown so great?" Caesar has had many imitators, big and little. It is hoped that the foregoing inquiry will not be adaptable to any functionary in the present mu nicipal administration of Los Angeles. Heavy snowstorms are reported in the east, with even old Kentucky claiming that one is "raging" In the northern and eastern sections of the state. That is not proper April behavior th.ere, but Los Angeles has not had occasion to boast about its weather recently. People of eastern cities are felicitating themselves with the thought that prices of strawberries are begin ning to come within reach of persons of moderate for tune. Here in Los Angeles the finest of strawberries are in market almost continuously every month of the year. No reasonable fault can be found with the orange market when the best navels approach $4 a bos in price, as they are doing now. The lesson to remember is that good fruit always is in demand. The advertising motto would fit the orange business by adaptation, "It pays to advertise a good thing." As a result of recent local inspection of dairies, ac cording to the official report, "orders were given for sixteen of them to be cleaned on penalty of being closed." Why are not the dairies supervised as to cleanliness so that they may not reach a condition of fllthlness warranting their suppression? The transcontinental railways report that passenger accommodation eastward Is engaged weeks ahead. The tourist season is closing and the rush homeward is causing the congestion in railway transportation. Soon the tide will turn and the inflow of summer visitors will begin from Arizona, Texas, Mexico and various other « sections. Mrs. Stanford's personal estate of about $7,000,000 was divided between her relatives and the university. Out of nearly $40,000,000 that the estate of the late governor footed up, nearly all went to the Institution named for his son. And now Mrs. Stanford leaves half of her own fortune for the same purpose. The endow ment is the largest in the world's history. It is regrettable that the supreme court's decision, in the Davenport csbo did not go to the root of the constitutional question concerning the recall. There is some divergence of opinion in legal minds on that point and it is important that the question be settled definitely as soon as possible. Los Angeles is threatened now with two or three recall propositions, and popular elections come high. > Now Andrew Carnegie is confronted by Rockefeller's trouble in giving away money. The tender of funds for a library building is spurned in one place because "many church people declare the town should not disgrace Itself by accepting money that they believe tainted." Possibly this is leading up to a demand for a certificate of char acter to be shown by persons who "chip In" to the church contribution box. A unique project,' but one characteristic of Los An geles, is announced by the outdoor art section of the Civic, federation. A systematic effort is to be made to beautify the surroundings of every home in the city that is defective in that respect. Members of a commit. te« will make a house to house visitation with that object Id view and a series of prizes will be offered for the test results. > It it a highly commendable project. LOS ANGELES HERALD i FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL j, 1905. THE DAVENPORT RECALL MUDDLE The decision of the supreme court in the Davenport recall case carries no Important general application. It relates simply to the question of regularity and legality in the particular proceedings whereby Daven port was ousted from his position as a member of the city council. • The vital question as to the legality of the recall method is not touched upon tn the decision, although that question was raised as a chief Issuetin the interest of Davenport. The ouster Is annulled on the ground that the recall petition was fraudulent to the extent that It contained names either fictitious or otherwise unwarranted. As declared by the court, "Some of those whose names were signed to the petition were not en rolled on the great register." On that fact ftlone the supreme court overrules the lower court, declares that Davenport was legally the councilman for the Sixth ward until the end of last year, and that he now is entitled to pay for the four months of the term illegally served by his successor. What a mess of trouble the zealous leaders of the recall movement brewed for IiOS Angeles! A few individuals forced themselves to the front in managing the petition, and it now appears that in their eagerness to get the requisite percentage of names they took every kind of fish that came to the net. Even after the subsequent official scrutiny of the petition, which en used a large number of names to be tossed overboard, quite enough fraudulent ones remained to nullify the subsequent election. While the vital question of the constitutionality of the recall was not passed upon by the supreme court, the general bearing of the decision is calculated to weaken confidence somewhat in its stability. TO FIGHT THE OIL OCTOPUS The Herald acknowledges receipt of a letter from the National Crude OH Producers 1 association, with headquarters at Chicago. Allusion Is made to a recent article in The Herald, from which Is this quotation: "In Its battle wllh the Standard Oil company the state -of Kansas deserves the encouragement, and support of every other state in the Union. Kansas, in fact, is fight ing the united battle of the people against the most monstrous corporate power the world has ever seen." The letter referred to says', relative to the quota tion: "You have staled the case clearly and truthfully, and we are trying to build up a large and influential organization to extend the good work begun by Kansas into every state In the Union." The purpose of the association Is to establish local branches in the several oil districts of the United States, which shall be allied with and be in constant touch with the national body. The branches will, as planned, "co-operate with us in educating the people to a realizing sense- that they are powerful enough to demand of their legislators the en actment of. laws which will compel the oil and other trusts to be fair and honest in competition." The annual crude oil product of the United States now amounts in value to about $100,000,000. The natural gas product yields about $35,000,000. The Standard Oil company already has control of the greater part of the entire Industry and its clutches are outreachlng for the rest. The competitors of that great monopoly should get together and make common cause against their com mon enemy, and they should have the support of all Americans who believe in the industrial maxim of "a fair field and no favor." THE MAN FROM SACRAMENTO A Sacramento visitor to Los Angeles relates at con siderable length in 'one of the capital city papers a tale of woe in the southland. He was here during the re cent period of rainfall, and he indulges in much sarcasm in reciting his experience. The whole city, as it appeared to the dweller in Sac ramento, had lately been subjected to a deluge. Follow ing the inundation was a deposit of several Inches of mud, "nasty, sticky, oily, slippery mud," as he des cribes it. But that was not the most harrowing experience of the man from Sacramento. Coming from a "wide open town," in which every known kind of intoxicant is dis pensed every twenty-four hours of the day every day of the year, the question of internal Irrigation naturally was of paramount importance. As he makes no men tion of acute suffering from lack of stimulants, ; it is inferred that he was not here on Sunday and that he found the supplies of saloon goods adequate to his needs on other days. But the stage of agony was reached when he essayed a journey to Santa Monica on a bicycle. Here Is a part of the relation of that awful torturing ride of twenty miles in a country without saloons for mlleposts, as appears to be the fashion in the neighbor hood of Sacramento, Judging from this wall of anguish: "And through it all not one place where beer could be had by the glass or otherwise had been passed. Cogitat ing on this astonishing fact and crowning misfortune, the Sacramentan had his eyes gladdened by a distant familiar and reassuring sign. 'Beer V Cents.' Never was a goal more gleefully sighted; never was It more difficultly placed. But after a half hour's sliding the rider found himself beneath the sign. '"Two beers,' he announced. " 'Can't have nothin* but orange cider,' snapped the bartender. " 'But the sign,' faltered the muddy one, not wishing to let his disappointment overwhelm him all at once, i "Can't help it; we don't sell beer,' was the dogged answer. • " 'Orange elder' was respectfully but firmly declined." From the fact that the Sacramento man lived to tell his amazing experience of life In a land where "beer" is not universally, and perennially on tap it is obvious that he pulled through his Journey and reached Santa Monica alive. It may be inferred that on his arrival there he was thunderstruck at finding that Santa Monica Is a prohibition town. He says nothing In disparagement of the place, however, hence the Inference that he had been in prohibition towns before and that experience taught him to hie straightway to a drug store for relief from enforced temperance agony. 80 it appears from the viewpoint of this particular man from Sacramento that the southland is always too dry, but at times also too wet. The lack of meanß for Internal irrigation Is the greatest drawback to the sec tion, as he sees it, but the rain and the mud also are abominable. What a paradise Sacramento must be to a wayfarer touring the route to destruction! The obvious lesson taught hy the Davenport recall fiasco Is that a community of sensible people should not tolerate lightheaded leadership. If certain ambitious posers in the public limelight had not been so eager to exploit themselves in working up the Davenport recall petition the blunder which caused the supreme court to sit down thereon with a dull thud would have been obviated. , New York reports that "four persons were killed to day in a tenement house by Illuminating gas." Those New Yorker! lack the staying qualities of Augelenos. SOCIAL DIARY AND GOSSIP GRACE GRUNDY President Roosevelt Is evidently In for It now. First Miss Susan B. Anthony, the well known advocate of giving wo men the ballot, has, it teems, written the president, asking him to treat wo men as well as he does negroes. Mist Anthony objects to the ex-Rough Rider In the White House referring to the gentler sex Invariably as wlven nnd mothers. "When he speaks of negroes he refers to them ns cltlaens. 11a will have to learn as other men have." It Is easy to conjecture the amazement of the president when he learns that ho has committed a gross discourtesy In recognizing woman relntlvely only and not as an Individual. He Is not accus tomed to regarding her In any other way than her relation to some man and It will certainly be something of n shock for him to be told to cease being an old foxy on this subject and wnke up to twentieth century conditions. Not only this, but more trouble still Is in store for him, as Mrs. Ida Husted Har per threatens that he shall no longer enjoy Immunity from being replied to by the wives and mothers he has lec tured, exhorted and criticised (and sometimes praised) these many months. They have. It appears, restrained the remonstrances and demands provoked by his course until such time as he was a duly elected official. Now he Is to be told, among other things, what worrjen's rights are and he Is to be aftked wjiat he Is going to do about It. One of the pretty affairs of recent date was the bridge whist party given yesterday by Mrs. Will Bishop of Adams street and Menlo avenue, who pntertalnod for Mrs. J. Thompson Sharp of Jacksonville, 111., sister of Mrs. Frank Griffiths, whose guest she Is at the Hlnman.

How Women Dress (A tribute to the latest style tn. hair diesslng — combing tha hair at the theater.) She scrubbed her pretty countenance until It was Immaculate; She powdered It and chamoised It till aho would fain ejaculate; She brushed her teeth until they gleamed like planets In the nky at nlcht. And doped nor eyes until they shone like lightning; bugs that fly at night. She mopped her ears till they were pink, she smeared her brows with vaseline. She rubbed her shoes with polish and she cleaned her gloves with gasoline; She donned her finest petticoats— the ones with thinnest laces on. And as she pranced before the glass she put her grandest paces on. She wore her drop-stitch hosiery and shoes like fairy sandaling*. She crawled Into her rustly skirt that called for dainty handle-ings. Her peek-a-booest waist she took from out the drawer and put It on — You'd think her starting for a ball with waxen floor to foot It on. Her neck contraptions looked so light a pulT of wind would scatter them. And v#"t shfi Jiop**fl thfl man nli6 loved would take the hint and flatter them. She plunkad her hat upon her head and spent ten minutes tilting it, Then put her puckered cape around— she'd been all hummer quilting It. She grabbed her gloves and fitted them upon her fingers carefully, Took one last look Into the glass and breathed a wish all prayerfully That he who was In waiting might throw out a slad "Oh, Dee!" at her; But hud she. combed her hair? — Why, no! Bhe'd comb It at the theater! — S. \V. Olllilan In Baltimore American. QUITE AN ADVANTAGE He— What is the advantage of hav ing ancestors in' the sixteenth century? . She— Great! They can't hang around and |poll your social aspirations.
