.Hang out your banners on the outer

'The G. A. R_ may come here In 1908.
By all means; the glad hand to the ex
soldler!
' Everyone . decorate for La Fiesta.
Except Hyena Hearst; he doesn't
want it
\, Once there 'was & recall started in the
First ward.'; Then somebody got a good
look at "Dock" Houghton, and—
k^ There will; be; no coal strike. The
miners, .for _', once, . realized that they
■were beaten before they began.
The oil trusts have arrived at the
denial stage. That report of Garfleld's
must have hit pretty close to home.
■j They are '•' threatening to punish a
Mormon bishop because he has two
wives. Isn't that punishment enough?
• Agricultural . laborers threaten to
strike In Porto Rico. That island is
rapidly -becoming Americanized, ' it
seems.. '.. „' .
I The Germans, In slaying 400 natives
In East Africa, seem to be engaged In
a ; little "benevolent assimilation" of
i their own.
Of course Ananias Hearst claims the
credit for the oil and sugar trust re
ports/ Willie "done It" with his longest
greased liar.
A solid trainload of automobiles of
one make left New York April 15 and is
now on its way to Los Angeles. That's
going some, eh?
If a saloon license as now constituted
Is not assessable, by all means let us
have one that is. It Is the chief asset
of most grogshops.
. That toilet paper factory about to
!; r ; start here will find one serious rival,
in ; the person . of Willie Ridiculous
Hearst and his vile sheet.
President Mitchell of the coal miners
says a strike now would be, the height
of folly. Which proves that he has
reached the depths of wisdom.
I How does It happen that Ananias
Willie doesn't claim that he "done it"
to the coal strike? Was the longest
greased liar asleep at the switch?
I'Cowled,1 'Cowled, In redeeming all San Fran
cisco opera tickets, merely does what
everyone expected. That he does It with
good grace is the part to his credit.
| The pleasing assurance Is given us
that 27,000 'men are at work on the
Panama canal. Very well; but how
many are shoveling dirt? That's the
point.
I The one regret about the Fiesta Is
that Wabbly Willie will be too far
away to see what a success can bo
made when his yellow sheet. knocks a
thing.
An even thousand saloons quit busi
ness in Chicago last week and 1200
more policemen began work. That
makes the ratio between cops and
booze parlors about 1 to 2 now.
That Cincinnati man who killed him
self by leaping from the Eiffel towel In
Paris went a long way to accomplish
his end. ' lie might have found oblivion
just as easily In the Ohio river.
By. all means, the Cahuenga valley
and Colegrove regions should be taken
into the city right now. These people
are entitled to all city benefits and
are anxious to pay for them. Open the
gates!
The president, the railroad senators
and, Uncle Joe Cannon's house having
compromised on a rate bill, that meas
ura stands a show to pats. And then
It will be up to the courts to side
track It. ' V
If you, through mistaken pity, picked
up a viper,' nourished it and then wer*
stuns by It, would you continue to hold
it In your bosom T Hardly. Yet, In
the 'case of ., the, fhoullsh Hearst and
liis viper nhefst, that's. what" the infr
limit* of l..ns Angeles are doing. .Any
time they want to scotch this snake In
the grass they can. i It's up to' them.
PUT ON HOLIDAY GARB
It khouM be the duty of every busi
ness: man and of every. householder ot
Los Angeles to begin this morning the
work of decorating In the most lavish
manner possible hla home and hla place
of business In honor of La Fiesta and
the visiting Bhrlners. Thtt Is a clric
duty he owes this) city.
We have Invited the Bhrlners here at
this time, snd despite the cold feet of
their edict-emitting potentate they are
comlnc In droves. Orand and costly
plans and' preparations for their
pleasure have been making for months).
Great floral and electric parades will be
given during Fiesta week proper for
their edification. Kntertalnment most
lavish will be offered them, and from
now on for three weeks to come they
will have the time of their lives. ';'.- «V
But to moke this season of merriment
fit and enticing, the city must put on
Its 'holiday garb. This place was not
touched by the San Francisco disaster,
and while It sympathises deeply with
Its northern slater and Is doing all
possible to aid her, Los Angeles has no
rail to sit down In sackcloth and ashes
and mourn over something she cannot
help. Itather, it Is her duty, as the
present metropolis of the Pacific coast,
the biggest city west of the Missouri
river, to demonstrate In every possible
way that she Is as full of ginger, life,
beauty and huntle as ever; that the
new responsibilities thrust upon her
have neither daunted nor worried her.
The guests of the city these Shriners
are, and right royally glad Los Angeles
Is to see them, too. Therefore, let Los
Angeles show thnt gladness and wel
come by the most lavish display of
gayety she ever donned. Let banners
and flags dra.pe every street; let fes
toons and flowers decorate every build
ing; let the glad hand extend from
every doorway and make every wearer
of the fez bless the day that he refused
to believe Coldfeet Collins snd Hyena
Hearst and came here on his own hook
to have a good time — and got It!
A NERVY TOWN COUNCIL
Our good friends of the Fatherland,
ruled as they are by "Melnself und
Gott," are usually credited with being
too phlegmatic to be very original. They
do not go in much for Innovations, and
nre slow to change the existing .order—
unless Wllhelm says they must. But
once In a long while they do flash forth
with an edict so startling, go sane, so
Intrepid and withal so sensible, that
even while the more volatile peoples of
earth stand in amaze, they applaud in
sympathy.
i One is moved to this by noting a tele
gram from Nordhausen, Prussian Sas
ony—a place hitherto scarcely on the
map but now destined to everlasting
emblazonment on the tablets of tame
—reading: I
"The town council of Nordhausen has
issued an ordinance prohibiting women
from allowing the trains of their
dresses to drag In the streets as a
measure for the protection of health
and for the 'prevention of tainting? the
air with dust."
Shades of "Worth and Paquin, but
read that again, will yp'.? The "town
council" has "Issued an ordinance!"
Why, imagine what that means— all the
power of the municipality is concen
trated therein! And what does the or
dinance say? That "the trains of wom
en's dresses must not drag In the
streets!" Women's dresses! The town
council!
Pray, isn't this most astounding? In
what other land under the shining sun
could such a thing be? Not In France —
though there Dame Fashion hath her
habitat. Not in England, though Lon
don streets be grimy as a muck heap.
Not In America, though the most
powerful of all forces— humor — has
poked fun at the trailing skirt since
first it was. No; none of these lands
dared do more than prate of the evil.
But along comes Nordhausen. in Prus
sian Saxony, with a nervy town coun
cil, and with one fell ordinance it elimi
nates what all the health authorities,
doctors, husbands, clumsy-footed boors
and sanitary officers on earth have
fought for years In vain.
Verily, Herren Town Council of Nord
hausen, Prussian Saxony, we doff, our
bonnets to ye!
NO CHANGE NEEDED
A building contractor of large ex
perience says "It has been proven con
clusively that a tall steel frame build
ing is practically earthquake proof, and
the same may be said of a frame dwell
ing house with proper underpinning."
Applying that opinion to • conditions
In Los Angeles it is evident at once
that even such a shock as San Fran
cisco experienced would cause compara
tively little damage In this city. Even
the old brick buildings In the business
section would not suffer from earth
quake to the extent that the same class
suffered in San Francisco. This be
cause Los Angeles rests upon a solid
geological foundation, while San Fran
cisco is over a geological "fault"; and
Its business section, in addition. Is
built on comparatively unstable "made
ground."
In view of these facts we fail to
see that any structural lesson of bene
fit to Los Angeles is revealed by the
catastrophe at San Francisco. If the
conditions in this city were BimllHr to
those which prevailed In Ban Fran
cisco there would be manifest cause
for some change In the general method
of construction. It was not strange,
In fact, that thoughts of certain
changes occurred to some citizens di
rectly after the northern disaster.
It would be entirely feasible, as lead-
Ing architects have demonstrated, to
construct concrete dwellings here that
would be absolutely safe In case of
such a quake at the Ban Francisco
visitor, and the cost would not greatly
exceed that of modern structures. But
there Is no need for any such j change.
All strangers in Los Angeles admire
the beauty and homelike attractions of
the wooden structures In which fully
nine-tenths 'of ;Our people dwell.
With «uch UstJmonlaUa.th. on,
LOS ANGELES HERALD] MONDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1904.
quoted above In regard to the safety
of wooded ttructures, there It no cause
whatever for apprehension, Onr hotnen
are all rl«ht; they are not built upon
ahaky, fllled-ln ground, and no geo
logical "fault" underlies them.
DESERVED LOSEftS
One class of losers at San Francisco
will get neither assistance nor sympa
thy. They are the professional money
lenders who make a buslnms of "shay*
Ing" salaries of municipal employes « t
extortionate rates. It Is tald that
"sixty per cent of such employes In San
Francltco flraw their salaries through
brokers." The vast sums thut Indicated
were hypothecated for April. The
salaries* were obtained for the month
from the money aharks, lest the dis
counts, and the orders received In re
turn, for reimbursement, were mostly
destroyed In the fire.
The practice of shaving such salaries
prevails In Los Angeles to an extent
far too crest, but It seems to have
reached the limit of abuse in San Fran
cisco. The losses sustained by employes
In discounts represent only one phase
of the Iniquity. The statement la made
that "the profit In the business has be
come so great thnt the privilege of ne
gotiating such loans has become a po
litical plum." And furthermore, In order
to secure this plum "some brokprs have
advnnred large nums for'rnmpalgn pur
poses, with the understanding that In
return the business should he directed
to "lem." ■'■ ■?-
The salary shaving business, there
fore, Is a political asset, of the party
machine In Ban Francisco. Is there any
reason to doubt that the same business
In Los Angeles In an asset of the local
Republican "organization"? As the
civil service commission has just is
sued an edict against "pernicious
activity" In politics, on the part of city
employes, It might be well to inquire
how far the San Francisco plan in
question has been employed In procur
ing financial grease for the Republican
machine In Los Angeles.
SHRIEK FROM KANSAS
A paroxysmal publication In the sem
blance of a newspaper, called "Appeal
to Reason," Is being distributed broad
cast in Los Angeles. It purports to be
a special Issue of, a paper printed in
Olrard, Kas. At its head Is this state
ment: "2,240,000 copies of this Issue
were purchased and paid for by the
trade unionists and socialists of the
United States and Canada before the
paper was put to press." The paper,
as flamingly announced, "Is published
as an advocate of international social
ism, the movement . which favors the
ownership of the earth by all the peo
ple—not by a part of the people."
Across the top of the sheet Is printed
this slogan: "If Moyer-Haywood die,
twenty million workingmen will* know
the reason why!"
This outburst relates to the approach-
Ing trial of men who are under Indict
ment for participation In the assassina
tion of Former Governor Steunenberg of
Idaho, presumably In revenge for the
governor's action In connection with' the
strike of the Western Federation of
Miners. ;.
No American citizen worthy of the
distinction will countenance an attempt
to overawe the Judiciary— the bulwark
of law. and order— by such methods of
Intimidation as are here pointed out.
The Inculpated nun In question loudly
proclaim their innocence. Every good
citizen will hope that they may make
the claim good. But If their guilt Is
unmistakable, involving the death pen
alty, the American people will indorse
the enforcement of the law to the letter;
and no twenty million workingmen,
nor any other considerable number,
will countenance the criminal threat of
the Kansas shrleker.
AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE
The sentiment of broad religious tol
eration for. which Los Angeles is dis
tinguished should not be Imposed upon
by such fakers and howling dervishes
as are wont to make "night hideous and
day horrible." Probably there la not
another city in the United States
wherein freakish antics in the name of
religion are so common as In this city.
New cults of fanatics sprout here like
mushrooms after a warm rain. No
fault would be found with such growths
If only the fanatics themselves were
concerned, but they are apt to develop
Into public nuisances.
It Is too much of a stretch of religious
latitude to allow a group of zealots to
disturb the peace and quietude of a
neighborhood. A worse local affliction
hardly can be Imagined than the howl-
Ing and shrieking that emanate from
the meeting places of some such group,
often prolonged late at night, banishing
sleep and provoking profanity.
The fact that such disturbers of a
neighorhood may be sincere in their
strange performances Is no excuse for
permitting them to become public nui
sances.
It is proposed to divert the immi
grants now flooding to New York
through the port of Galveeton and 'lnto
the south, where half a million laborers
are needed right now. That's the most
sensible move made by the government
In many a day.

REPUBLICAN ASSAULT ON THE TARIFF
Eastern Republicans Regln to Express Some Apprehension at to the
Next Campaign
From the New York Times (Rep.)
"Nothing would please the Jtfpub-
Henna more than to Bee the Democrats
make an assault on the tariff In the
congressional canvs«« this year," says
the fit. Louis Qlobe-Demoerat. This ta
brave and manly. But after all, It la
not an assault upon the tariff by Dem
ocrats that the Republicans fear. The
Democrats have been assailing the tar
iff for a generation. The utmost that
John Bharp Williams nnd his party
associates In the house could do would
not make, the Republicans uneasy.
It is Republican nsnaults on the tariff
that alarm the stand -patters. Leaders
in the old-time tariff fights long ago
concluded that the tariff would not be
reformed until the Republicans them
selves took up tho work. Appeals to
the consumer have always been futile.
All these years he has gone on blindly
voting. for the candidates of the high
tariff party oblivious alike of argument
nnd of proof. The burdens- he has
borne patiently and In Ignornnce now
begin to weigh heavily upon the shoul
der* of manufacturers. They are not
at all Ignorant, nnd they are becoming
Impatient. For the most part they nre
Republicans, nnd It la through Repub
lican voices that their new convictions
are made known, their Increasingly in
sistent demands expressed.
Now ft Democratic assault upon ths
tariff relnforcpd by a Republican an
sault would be formidable. To meot
this combined onslaught the Republi
can leaders responsible for the fall con
gressional campaign are already or
ganizing their forces. Our St. Louis
contemporary Is doubtless quite right
when ho says that the raising of the
tariff Issue would "put an Interest In
the campaign which the : Republicans
had not looked for, nnd would furnUh
a powerful Incentive for them to get
out their entire vote."
Republicans of prominence in Wash
ington were not long nffn discussing
with visible concern the outlook for the
party In the congressional elections. It
was said rather openly that the Dem
erats might win a majority . in the
house. The advance of the Demo
crats may not carry them, quite no far
as that, but undoubtedly, the Repub
licans are face to face with the pros
pect of a serious loss of seats, "and
states enough may be transferred to
the Democratic side to 'cause no little
uneasiness about the presidential cam
paign in 1908. Mr. McCall frankly
said In the house the other day that if
the Republicans of Massachusetts had
supposed the session would pass with
out any relief from tariff exactions the
slate would have gone Democratic last
November. Predictions are confidently

made that It will no r>emoerfltle ntxt
fall with a lows of soma Republican
congressmen. In lowa Secretary Shaw
has Jurt had a rude reminder that the
tariff reform sentiment Is stronger
than his popularity. The Republicans
of Pennsylvania are disorganized. A
■Democratic state treasurer was elected
In that state last fall, and while the
tariff orthodoxy of Pennsylvania Is un
shaken, there Is Republican trouble
enough there to give occasion for un
•uineis.
But for the operations of Hearst
New York would almost certainly elect
a Democratic governor this fall, and
notwithstanding the abominably unfair
and partisan Republican reapportlon
ment the legislature might even be
won for the Democrats. Mr. Odell is
ugly over the attempts to crush him,
and he still has a good deal of strength
up the state. If the legislature falls
to pass the mortgage tux bill, or If the
governor ngaln vetoes It, a good many
Republicans of New York city will for
that rennon vote airalnst their party
next fall. Nor Is factional strife by
nny means at an end In Ohio, where r
Democratic governor was elected lnst
year.
The activities nnd the utterances of
Mr. Roosevelt mny have continued to
win for him, and so for his party, the
nupport of some radical Democrats and
Socialists. Hut If that Is true It is no
less true thnt among that class that
has always been the Substance and the
bone and the sinew of the Republican
party, the clans that hns formulated Its
policies and supplied" the monur for Its
campaigns, the president hnn since his
election In 1904 steadily lost ground.
Ro far from giving- him their confi
dence, they am sctunlly afraid of him.
His recent venture in the discussion of
means to prevent by federal Interfer
ence the accumulation and transfer of
great fortunes was not only disquieting
in Itself, but as an Indication of his'
continual restless seeking out of new
ways to put the business of the coun
try and the affairs of men under fed
eral control It awakens dread of his
future activities. Nobody can tell what
he is going to do next.
The tactics of the Democrats, there
fore, and the coming assaults of that
party upon the Republican position dis
turb the leaders less than the things
thought, said, or Intended In their own
ranks. It Is well for the St. ." iuis
Globe-Democrat and the stand-patters
to put on a bold front and defy the
enemy. They could hardly do other
wise. Hut It is not at all certain that
an old-fashioned tariff contest would,
save In a small number of states,
strengthen the Republican ! lines and
give them confidence as to the Issue of
the fight.
NOT OF MUCH CONSEQUENCE
An official of a transatlantic steam
ship line tells of the excitement on
board one of his company's vessels sev
eral days out from Liverpool, caused
by an accident to the steering gear, a.
mishap trifling : enough in reality, but
which rumor magnified.. The captain
was soon approached by a lady paßsen
ger. "Is it true, captain," asked she,
anxiously, "that we have lost one of our
screws?" . •
. "Not at all, madam," was the reply
of the officer. "There was some little

responded the lady, with a relieved
look, "although I was far from sharing
the apprehension of the rest of the pas

A FAVORED INSTRUMENT
The story is told of a newly rich
woman who on tho occasion of her
daughter's wedding gave a large recep
tion, for which music was furnished by
an orchestra of twelve pieces. >
The leader of this orchestra was a
violinist who had achieved a social as;
well as a professional success, and the
rich woman evidently wished to recog
nize this fact and v make clear her
knowledge of It.
When the evening was half over the
butler approached the musicians, who
were having a, short intermission, and
in his loftleßt manner he said, after re
ferring to a paper in his hand: •'•. >

CANADA IS SCENE OF ACTIVE
BUILDING
J. J. Hill Will Solve Difficulties of
Tra Deportation With Hit Trunk
Lines, Which Are Being Con.
structed— General Newt '
With the Invasion of the great wheat
news of Canada by American farmers
and the transportation of the grain to
the United States and Whence to the
world's market* began a struggle by
Canadians to secure a means whereby
tu> much of the money for transporting
the product be kept In Canada.
Heretofore all of the grain that has
neen shipped to the coast over Canadian
soil has required several handlings,
which has been so expensive that the
farmers have sought an American
outlet. f- -v-r
Canada Is one of the most active
scenes for rallrond building at present.
James J. mil, with hla Hudson Bay
route, promises to solve all difficulties.
It will be a long trunk line and the
liraln after It Is once put Into the cars
In rflrrled direct to tho ocean.
Hill has necured by purchase and by
grants from the government rights
enough to cover all of- western Canada
with a network of steel. The Great
Northern and tho Canadian Northern
will be built to Pan Mlsßlon, 600 miles
■outhwpst of Fort Churchill on Hudson
bay, with all possible Rpeed. •
The Canadian government controls
several roads and has a very good sys
tem, but It Is said that Hill takes the
lead when it comes to rapid road build

BURVEYORB RETRACING ROUTE
Data Destroyed by San Francisco Fire
la Being Collected Again
By Associated' Press.
MARYBVILLE, May 6.— Orders have
been given for the work of building the
Northern Electric railway from Oro
vllle Junction to Marysville. Grading
will begin tomorrow near Biggs, to be
finished In ninety days.
The California Midland surveyors are
now retracing this route from here to
Grass Valley and Auburn to make new
maps and replace the data destroyed
by the San Francisco fire.
Both these roads were to have been
under construction two weeks ago, but
the disaster at San Francisco prevented
the beginning of operations.
Harriman Favors Panama Canal
E. H. Harriman, president of the
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and
allied lines, in a speech Irl Seattle de
nied the statements that have been
made declaring that he is opposed to
the Panama canal. He declared that
the opposite was true, but warned the
people against what he termed the
"anti-railroad agitation." He said that
while water transportation should ' be
encouraged the people must not forget
that land transportation la of more
value.
Will Be Secure From Floods
While the Salt Lake road has been
repaired from tho damage done by the
spring washouts sufficiently to allow
the safe passage of trains, hundreds of
workmen are still busy on the 100 miles
of track, that was washed out and a
large amount of work yet remains to
be done. The owners and officials of
the road declare that the track, when
all repair work la done, will be secure
against any rainfall that may come
even though it. be. as heavy as that
which fell last spring. •
Say Excursions Hurt Business
At a recent meeting In Chattanooga
the Southeastern Passenger association
voted to .restrict the number, of excur
sions that are run out of, commercial
centers on account of the complaint of
manufacturers that workingmen are
too free to take advantage of excursions
and tha^ their business is hurt thereby.
The sense of the meeting was that but
one excursion should be run each sum
mer by each road.
THE BEISMOGRARH
From Washington and from various
college observatories In' the United
States and from points |In England,
Germany and Italy are i reported rec
ords by seismograph of the earth dis
turbances which brought Wednesday's
disaster to San Francisco. •On *.he Isle
of Wight, at the laboratory of John
Milne, the inventor of modern earth
quake measuring- instruments, even the
approximate location of the trouble was
indicated. . . '
In its simplest form an earthquake |
indicator might be a tray with notched
edges so filled with mercury that -a ■
shaking of the earth would cause an
overflow In the direction of the move
ment. In the instrument used by act- >
ence the pendulum is employed, ver
tical by - some Italians, horizontal :by ;■
the Japanese, English, most European
and American observers. A movement .
of the earth affects everything but the ■
pendulum, which is so freely hung as
to remain stationary, and a recording
device makes the result visible. Of old,
with the vertical pendulum, a. sharp ;«
point drew the profile of the movements I
on a blackened surface. Photographic .
paper In moving? strips serves the mod
ern instruments. • "
The horizontal pendulum turns on a
vertical axis and carries at Its extrem
ity a heavy 'weight which earth shock
does not reach. In the Milne seismo
graph a platinum sheet . attached to
this weight has a slit Intersecting I at
right angles a slit in a second sheet
underneath. In times of quiet reflected
light passing through both slits makes
one point and prints a straight line on
the moving bromide paper, : When the
earth shakes the lower silt moves and
tho line becomes crooked according to
the strength - of the . shock. A- clock-"
work arrangement with shutters and
a light times the disturbance. V , '.
The Instruments are so delicate ■as
sometimes to Indicate shocks no men
have felt. The records which they made
of Wednesday's disaster cannot fail to
Inspire a new popular respect for the
achievements of modern science.— New
