Moral: Don't eat meat.
Welcome, merry sunshine!
The good old summer time Is here at
last.
Senator DePhew thinks he's growing
Worse. How could he?
'. Nice opinion Queen Ena must have
of her new countrymen.
Strange how Innocuous and subdued
our friend Willie Ananias is of late.
Can It be that Supervisor Graham fs
the "Dock" Houghton of the super
visors?
Sacramento once more has an excuse
for being on the map. But such un
excuse!
. For Inspection that doesn't Inspect,
eee government inspectors at packing
houses.
I Tainted money is the kind obtained
from the sale of tainted meat— and it
Is really "tulnted," too.
While we are doing things after our
enforced holidays, let's start the owl
cars. They'll help some.
John I), sails for Kurope. Gasoline
gftes up 3 cents. You can't beat that
game, anyway you work it.
: The summer rush from the over
heated east to balmy sunny Los Aii
gclcs has begun. Welcome, sufferers!
Supervisor Graham's plea for re-elec
tion is really no funny that it almost
balances "Dock" Houghton's desire to
be mayor.
It's an ill earthquake thut doesn't
shake somebody some good. Look nt
the grins on the Sacramento hotel
men's faces.
Closing the savings banks on .Satur
day nights during the summer Is . a
good scheme; wonder it wasn't done
long ago.
■ Morris Buck will not hang today, hl3
case having been appealed. Thus is
"juEtice" made to do duty for "pro
crastination."
.Cheerful greeting, that given to Al
fonso and his English bride just after
their wedding. What cruel chaps
those Spaniards are!
It took Gov. Pardee a long time to
make up his mind to cull off the holi
days. Or was Abe Ruef slow In tip
ping him the wink?
Princess Kna gets $90,000 a yenr for
being Alfonso's wife. But even that is
harjly worth while, considering the
task ah?>ad of her.
Most persons welcome holidays, but
the ejid nf the present series will be
more gladly acclaimed than would a
week of Fourths of July.
Itehearsing chorus girls thirty hours
at a Btretch, till they faint In groups,
may be conducive to fine burlesque, but
isn't It rather hard on the girls?
What a boon owl cars would he to
the hundreds who must work late to
catch up after the holidays. Perhaps
even the council will feel their neces
sity. There's hope in that.
The Los Angeles summer tourist sea
son begins todiiy. It is getting so that
we Bcarcely havp -a chance to rest
from one Influx before another starts
ln. But can you blame 'em?
Today the transcontinental railway
lines begin their new series of summer
excursion* from the east to Los An
gelea, and according to one of the of
ficial* "we are certain to see the larg
est volume of summer travel to this
section during the. next few months In
the history of th« stale." Heretofore
the east has regarded Southern Cali
fornia an a winter resort, when as a
rnatter of fact the Rummer climat« of
liOs Angelea Is equally delightful with
Kit winter climate, for the days are
never excessively warm a»«| the
nights are always cool. Moreover, the
atretch of iieashor« and beach within n
half liour'H ride of thjg city glvcH to
summer visitors more advantage* than
they can enjoy anywhere on the At
lantlo ennui. We huve been somewhat
dilatory In emphasising the glories of
our summer .climate, but the enter
prise of tjiß railroads will assuredly
turn the aummer travel in thin direc
tion. And the thoutiaudg who come
will never regret It.
DISEASED MEATS FOR HOME
CONSUMPTION
T>l.«f nscd tneati for American*, health
ful meats for foreigner*. Th* dlntrlbu
tlon ot products from the Chicago
packing hounts appear* to be based on
that principle.
The Investigation of th« beef trust,
now In progress, ha* brought to public
notice the fact that m*n.ta which are
not exportable are consumed by Ameri
cans. Foreign countries will not admit
Imported meats that have not pa«»Pd
the most rigorous Inspection. The lax
American 1 syntom, however, allows of
the disposal, for home consumption, of
meats that foreign inspectors will not
acoept. .
The revolutions brought out concern-
Ing methods employed by the packers,
nre startling to American meat con
sumers. There Is nominally n system of
government Inspection of meats nt the
big packing lioukos, but trustworthy
testimony shows that ln practice the
pystem la a farep. An expert bacteri
ologist who wag for several years em
ployed by the government as Inspector
of products at the Kansas City packing
houses says: "Government Inspection
of meat Is a farce no tar as home con
sumption- Is concerned." And, as «n
example, he says speclflnilly: "I have
taken diseased meats bearing the gov
ernment stamp from wagons." Again:
"One day I and one of my taggers were
going through a lln* of hogs on the
export Hide; we found a trichina car
cass; 'put It over on the American
side,' said the tagger, and over It went."
What else could be expected from a
colossal trust capable of controlling,
by tho power of money, public func
tionaries from the level of the United
States senate down to that of tho pack
ing house "tagger"' who coolly trans
fers a trachina Infected carcass from
the export stock "over to the American
Bide." If United States senators are
amenable to trust "influences," as they
unquestionably are, how tan honesty
be expected on the part of men in
humble stations who are entrusted with
the practical work of meat Inspection?
It Is folly to attempt reform ln such
dnstardly Imposition upon the Ameri
can people as Is revealed concerning
packing methods, except by destroying
the system that makes such Imposition
possible.
The meat trust, like the rest of its
kind, Is a monopoly. It has crowded
out independent competition and has
been thus enabled to operate with the
will of an autocrat. A vast export meat
business hns been built up by the
simple process of sending abroad
products that would pass foreign in
spection and dumping the Inferior stuff
upon the domestic market.
BUT WITHOUT THE MIGHTY
POWER OF MONOPOLY SUCH DIS
CRIMINATION WOULD BE IMPOS
SIBLE. ,
But tlm trust system cannot be di
vested of Its monopolistic character
without going back to the root of the
evil, which is the high protective tariff.
Without such protection there could
be no trusts. Independent business
methods would Insure open competition,
and hence there could be no such dis
crimination as is here noted.
HIGH TAUIFF IS THE MOTHER
OF THE TRUST BROOD AND THE
FATHER IS MAMMON.
STILL MAKING RECORDS
Since April 18, tho day of the great
rlisaster at San Pranclsco, every day
has been a legal holiday in California
by special proclamation of the gover
nor. The disaster itself tended to throw
a damper upon all knds of business,
and for the closing weeks of April and
the lirst part of May not much else was
attempted in Los Angeles beyond a
continued effort to alleviate the suf
fering and distress of our northern
neighbors.
Hence It was not anticipated that
1..0s Angeles would make anv, par
ticularly good, record In the real estate,
building or commercial lino during
the month of May, especially since the
legal holidays are still being declared.
Nevertheless the bank clearings for
May in Los Angeles increased $5,000,000
over May, 1905, the clearances during
the past month reaching the Jarge
sum of $47,320,025, as compared with
$42,401,260.81 during May of last year.
Nothing that Los Angeles has done
in the way of evincing commercial
stability and permanence qulto equals
that record.
During the month of May. also, 808
building permits were issued, for im
provements valued at $1,051,839, a. sub
stantial Increase over the Muy record
of 1!K)5.
It must be remembered, also, tbnt
not only were legal holidays being
daily declared during May, but ono
week of that month was almost wholly
devoted to the pleasures of La Fiesta.
And yet, In despite of all these hin
dering incident*. Lob Angeles has
made large increases in Its commercial
business and in its general growth and
development.
There is no further chance for any
knocker to queßtiou the future of Los
Angeles. It is a permanent city and as
the largPßt i-ity on tho Pacific coast
will eventunlly control most of tho
commerce of the western world.
HEARST AND HIS DUTY
The arrest in Washington tills week
of one William Randolph Hearst, whose
one claim to notoriety Ik his yellow jour
nalistic horrer, because he was absent
without, lenve from hid seat in the
national houee which New York's mis
taken Democracy presented him, calls
anew attention to the hypocrisy arid
double-dealing of that modern Ananias.
Hearst in a great prater about civic
dul<c», righteousness, responsibility and
many other good things. Ills niiniong

cheap platitudes, about the recreant na
tional government, lta neglect of duty,

public) trust" and other cheap claptrap.
And a few— thankfully « very few—
really believe that thin iinsponknbifl
ll#arnt In a real man and Is really In
earnest in lh#se mnuthlngn.
What ft shock, then, munt have hern
the dldclosured brought fthout by
Hearst'* arrpst to the few sincere dupps
who follow him. lt?re he wad, th* loud
mouthor rtgnlnnt earnest and hard
working public servants, haled before
the bar of th«« national house an nn
unwarranted tibsentpe, caught by acci
dent In Washington for the first time In
three, months; neglecting entirely the
duties he swore to perform, yet never
falling to draw the stipend which he
utterly failed to earn. What a spec-,
tacla he made, to be sure! j
But will he nr»w stop hid abut* of de
cent men and admit thut he Is n. double
dealer and a hypocrite? Not much. He
will go right on claiming the overlord
shlp of the universe, and claiming to
have accomplished every good thing
done, from creating the world to tend
ing the newest baby born In stricken
San Frnnelseo. Bah! What a stench
arises even when his name Is writ!
DIVERGENT STORM EFFECTS
Thn great range of latitude nnd the
consequent variety of climate in Cali
fornia at times cause peculiar condi
tions. The recent heavy rainfall, ex
tending from the northern to the
southern boundary of tho state, afforda
an example In point. The distribution
of rain wob fairly equal throughout
the state, although the northern part
received, as usual, the larger portion.
Reports from the north show that
Immense damage was done to the
farmers' crops of all, kinds. The vast
fields of grain were beaten down by
the storm, causing mildew and rust,
as well as making it difficult to reap
areas badly prostrated. Such fruits as
cherries, peaches, apricots and plums,
some already marketable and the rest
rapidly maturing, were ruined in some
localities and Injured In all. Grapes,
berries and other small fruits, as well
as all garden vegetables, also suffered
greatly. As a whole the damage to
vegetation in the middle and northern
portion of tho state was tho most se
vere In recent years.
In striking contrast with that situa
tion in the north, wo have reports from
the whole citrus fruit section of South
ern California to this effect: No in
jury to trees or fruit was sustained by
the storm, but on the contrary the
growers are felicitating themselves on
the prospect that it will not be neces
sary to begin irrigation until a month
or six weeks later than usual. That
moans an average reduction of perhaps
20 per cent in the quantity of water
necessary to pull the orange and
lemon groves through the dry season.
Some damage has been caused to the
hay crop of Southern California by
the recent rains, but it is trivial com
pared with the effect on field crops
up north. Taking into account the
benefit derived by the orange and
lemon groves from the copious late
rains it is probable that the profit and
loss account to vegetation in the
Amthlancl is fairly well balanced.
Postmaster Flint hns not only writ
ten to the authorities at Washington
presenting argument in favor of an
increased appropriation for the Los
Angeles federal building, but an
nounces that ho will go east person
ally and see that the authorities read
his letters. The postmuster is right, as
usual. "If you want •anything done,
go," is an old and safe rule.

Tho children were very coy and in

out of a class of thirty. A solemn file
made its way behind a screen, where

DURING AERONAUT
FALLS TO EARTH
Following Sensational Flight, Big Gas
Balloon Comes Down Unexpect
edly and Pinions Occupant
to the Ground
By Associated l'ress.
NEW YORK, May 31.-A Tyrolese
aeronaut named Wartscher left Coney
Island yesterday hi a peculiar fashion.
Twenty-two minutes later, after a
recklossly sensational flight ' through
tho air, he wua picked up unconscious
and bleeding 1 , on JJluck Hall marsh. •
Ho was booked to make a balloon as
cension at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Although tho wind was blowing sea
ward ho dccluetf to mako tho attempt.
Mokt of the l>coorttlloii dity population
on tho island was on hand to see the
excitement.
WartHcher's balloon was anchored
with 100 Bund bags which held It In
place. M» stood over the work of In
flating the great bag with 26,000 feet
of gun, but the Ran was found to have
loss (ban the usual buoyancy.
Balloon Shifts With Wind
When the balloon was filled, Wart
scher Htooil 111 his haskol and toßsed out
sand bag after sand bug to mine him
self from tho ground. The bulloon
now freed from its ropes rolled from
bide to Bide -with every puff of wind.
One glint of wind wafted agraliint the
tubular framing of the ulde. The next
breeze picked the balloon up and
dropped It middenl/ from a height of
twenty feet. The man In the banket
hud to do Homo Hpry scrambling tu wivo
liimxrlf from bumps.
Finally u favorable vuft took the
balloon up, only to subside and drop it
again. Wartscher had thrown out his
last sand bag and now he cut loose his
life boat and took a small buoy in
stead. Kven so he could not rise. He
did not give up, however. Instead, he
twisted himself into the cordage at the
ring which hangs just above the bas
ket and cut loose the basket which
came clashing down. Wartscher then
pulled off the life preserver and threw
it awny..
Big Crowd Cheers
Then the balloon began to rise and a
cheer broke from the big crowd. The
balloon was sighted by yachtsmen on
Sheepshoacl bay who started to follow
it, but were soon distanced. It was
sighted from Bergen beach and finally
from Rockaway beach. Wartscher had
let out some of his gas and struck
a lower breeze, which luckily bore him
to the land.
As he approached the beach he tried
to land the balloon. The upper roll of
the air current carried him clear of the
narrow land strip, barely ten yards
above ground and out upon the waters
of Jamaica bay. As he drifted out
northward over the bay, watching
yachtsmen tumbled into their- craft
and gave pursuit. But tho breeze was
brisk and the balloon distanced them.
Course of Balloon Erratic
Its course was erratic and dangerous
for tho aeronaut. The balloon would
rise perhaps fifty feet and then plunge
down to the water when it would
strike the waves broadside and scatter
spray, only to bound up again like a
great elastic ball.
Wartscher had strapped, himself to
the wooden ring with his leather belt.
After a ■while the balloon stopped
bounding and rolled along the surface
of tho water with the aeronaut help
less and tangled in tho cordage, now
above water and now under.
Finally it stranded in tho long
grasses of Black Hill marsh-, where
three fishermen Blashed up tho silk
with thelr^ knives.
Under the mass lay the aeronaut,
unconscious from the water and escap
ing gas. They revived and clothed
him. He was painfully bruised and
BtiH suffering- from tho effects of tho
gas."

GIBBONS THINKS
PEACE IS NEAR
By Associated Press.
LAKE MOIIONK, N. Y., May 31.—
The address of Cardinal Gibbons on
"Tho Triumphs of Peace" was the lead-
Ing feature of the third session of the
Lake Mohonk conference on interna
tional arbitration today.
Cardinal Gibbons said that ho wanted
to disabuse the faint-hearted that
Christ's mission on earth to establish
peace hud failed, and to show that,
on the other hand, his mission had
made decisive and reassuring progress.
Ho said In part:
"Let us cherish the hope that the
day is not far off when the reign of the
Prince of Peace will bo flrmljK^ostab
lished on the earth, and the spirit of
the gospel will so far sway the minds
and hearts of rulers and cabinets that
International disputes will be settled,
not by standing armies, but by perma
nent courts of arbitration— when they
will be settled, not on the battlefield,
but In the halls of conciliation, aii'l
will be adjusted, not by the sword, but
by the pen, which is mightier than the
sword."
Work of Supreme Court
Clifion I{. Brockehridge, ex-minister
to Jtussia, said: "The great arbiter of
our disputes is the supreme court of
tho United States. For more than one
hundred years this august body has
been the sheet anchor, not only of the
Union, but of all of the states. Cannot
a similar and permanent body of illus
trious men sit and command in tome
like manner the revential obedience of
nations?"
Representatives Granger of nhode'
Island and Bates of Pennsylvania and
Charles Hamlln of Boston, ex-assistant
secretary of tho treasury, discussed Tho
Hague conference. The session tonight
is to be devoted wholly to three-minute
speeches by business men and chamber
ot commerce representatives from all
over tho country, showing the work that
is being drfne by the business Men's
association In practical promotion of
international arbitration.
