It's up to the merchants just how long Los Angeles must endure the calumnies of the Hearst atrocity. And some of the merchants are getting wise to that fact, too. The university must wait a year before it realizes on the Kearney fortune, but It has the satisfaction of knowing that the fortune will Increase materially meanwhile. Julius Black says Los Angeles only needs one thing to Insure its continued growth and greatness— incessant boost ing. That's what we're all doing, old man— all but the Hearst yellow. Los Angeles' postal receipts for May o-.-ir May, 19C5, were $19,000, an in crease of 31 per cent, or nearly one third greater than they were a year ago. And May was a dull month!

As the 'gentlemen named are still be hind the bars and likely to stay there, the W. V. of M. ia respectfully referred to a funny story that everyone knows, bearing upon a somewhat similar sit uation. . AN "ARDUOUS" CAMPAIGN In an effort to "open the coming cam paign," on behalf of the Republican party, th« Ban Plego Union nays: "It behooves Republican* all over the state to begin. preparations for a campaign which promises to be arduous and on the outcome of which much Is at itak«>." That's a very sensible truism, to begin with. But the Union should go a little deeper and endeavor to explain why the campaign will b« arduous for the Republican organ I cation. It ought to confess to iti party friends that they are being ridden to death by a rail road machine that now has Abe Ruef for its chief fugleman. It ought to say that Its party Is no longer governed or mannged by Its supporters, but Is con ducted by and wholly In the Interest of a little clique of politicians backed by the railroad corporations. The campaign will be arduous for the Republican party because the old cry of "Vote for the party of Lincoln and Grant" Is played out. If either Lincoln or Orant were alive today he wouldn't own the old thing. It has become the mere agenl of trusts and big corpora tions, who dominate it, write Us plat forms and nominate its candidates. Does the Union suppose that the Southern California orange growers, for Instance, are going to keep right on voting for a party that nourishes cor porations which charge them "all the traffic will bear," and puts Into office railroad commissioners who do nothing but write last year almanacs?' Not unless they change their minds very materially. Does the Union suppose that the honest people of California are going to continue sending to congress a dele gation chosen by railroads for the ex press purpose of continuing the high protective tariff on the vital necessities of life?— a delegation that refused, with out explanation, to allow San Fran cisco to Import free steel in order that It might arise from the ashes of Its calamity? Not much. Does the Union suppose that prating about "continued loyalty to the tradi tions and principles of the Republican party" is going to catch any gudgeons in this intelligent year of 1906? "Loy alty to traditions': is a sort of fetish that Is about on a psr with the worship of ancestors and about as valuable. Loyalty to the Republican party of today Is simply out of the question, especially with Callfornlans, who are tired of doing the loyalty stunt for the benefit of Abe Ruef and the railroads. Of course the campaign will be "ardu ous" for" the Republicans. The peopl? are weary of the machine and they give every promise of a disposition to put their sweaty backs against it and dump it into the ocean. They have tried their luck with it and it kept everything and gave nothing In return. It is time for California to have a state administration that represents the people. Under present conditions such an administration is impossible with the Republican machine in trenched In power. Honest Republi cans express a willingness. to vote tbe Democratic ticket this year and give the Golden State a new and a square deal. ; '.i -; DOWNFALL OF A TIN JOSS The professional laborltes, the unions and their leaders, who assume to speak for all laboring men, are seeing a great light. They have come to the conclu sion that the unspeakable Hearst, whom they have bamboozled them selves and their dupes into looking upon as a little tin joss, is only a fake, a fluke, a bit of clay. They have opened their eyes to the fact that his leadership has proved disastrous to everyone who has followed him; that he is sincere only in self-vaunting; that he cares no more for the unlonltes than he does for any other lot of dupes who may be made to serve his purpose, which has but one end— the boosting: of himself, first, last and all the time. And the Associated Building Trades of Chicago have formally and bitterly repudiated this modern Ananias, de nouncing him as a false prophet, a faker, a user of labor for his Ignoble ends, a betrayer of their Interests and a political manipulator who Is dis tinctly an •enemy of the labor organiza tions he professes to love. It has taken organized labor a long time to wake up to tho true status of Hearst. Two reasons may be ; :s!sned for this: Either the laborlte leaders were honestly deceived by tho Hearst mouthlngs or else they have squeezed him dry. It is possibly even true that a few labor agitators honestly believed tho Hearst yawps, and they must be credited with the benefits of the doubt. But In either case, the affair leaves Hearst in about, the worst predicament he hns yet been put. He has always ranted long and loudly about his love for "labor." His whole political fabric has been erected on a theory of class prejudice, antagonism to wealth, cul ture and docency; advocacy of tho "downtrodden worklngman"; support of anarchy, Socialism, class hatred and extreme, radical unionism of the most virulent type. Withdraw this ruction from behind him and he has no follow ing at all. The laboriteg were the most respectable elements In his support; the rest represents mere rag-tag — the scum of the earth. Now unionism deserts the hypocriti cal Hearst, repudiates him, spews him out as a vile dose, flings him to the four winds. Even the rank professional agi tator cannot stand for Hearst and his outrageous usage of the union organi zations as a cat's paw to pull Hearst chestnuts from the fire. ■ Los Angeles laborites are still in a measure dupes. They trail at the tail ol the Hearst chariot- like so many cap tives. Their eyes are yet blinded. They fall to see that the Hearst opposition to Owens river and the Fiesta, the out rageous lies about Los Angeles at the time of the Ban Francisco 'quake, the Hearst Influence In keeping the Shriners away— that all these and the thousands of other overt acts of the Hearst yellow LOS ANGELES HERALDS MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1909. ' reflect directly back on every man that work*. They are obsessed by the blare of the Hearst ; self-praise ban<l, the jr«lps of the Hearst yellow brood that bays) th« moon all night; and they play sucker to the Hearst game day after d-y. When will the Los Angeles union ist*! nwake to the true conditions and repudiate this vampire, as their Chicago br«thren have done? A TWO-SIDED QUESTION Directly after the Ran Kranetseo disaster n. report was sent broadcast that the Insurance companies would pny losses on all building*, making no distinction between earthquake and fire rfmsps. The Herald then ventured the opinion that the companlen would be likely to be governed by tho specific llnhllltlcK provided In their policies rather than by generous sentiment. Now we have the sequel of this ques tion. It is reported from San Fran cisco that "the work of rebuilding has been brought to a standatllt by the refusal of Insurance companies to hasten settlement of their liabilities." Repair work that was proceeding rap- Idly on many buildings has been stopped, as reported, by order of the board of underwriters. All efforts to Induce these functionaries to allow re pairs to go on have been without avail. The situation Is summed up by saying •that "When the final word will come to let the work go on Is as much In doubt now as It waa on the day after the fire." But there are two sides to this ques tion. In the matter of financial loss the Insurance companies have suffered as greatly as the citizens of San Francisco, assuming the correctness of general estimates. The Insurance companies are custodians of the money of hun dreds of thousands of stockholders. It Is a fact well known to financiers that insurance stocks are favorite securities for persons of moderate means, and that they are more widely distrib uted nmong the people than almost any other class of securities. Officers of insurance companies would be unfaithful to their trust If they failed to save for stockholders every possible dollar in the adjustment of fire losses. In regard to the San Fran cisco calamity it Is especially Incumbent upon them to follow that policy. The vast Insurance payments called for, in accordance with the terms of policies, will wipe out years of stock dividends in many companies, and other compa nies will be obliged to levy heavy stock assessments. The Insurance situation In respect to San Francisco is badly complicated by the difficulty of distinguishing between losses for which the companies are properly accountable and others which are not chargeable to them according to the terms of their policies. Delay in the work of reconstruction Is regret table, but a little reflection shows, as remarked before, that there are two .sides to the question involved.

MR. PHELPS PREACHES ON TIMELY TOPIC Attitude of Grasping Ancienti Hat a Parallel Today Which Central Baptist Pastor Eloquently Points Out "Tho Doom qf Jesus Hastened When He Scourged the Money-i'.iaiigers from the Temple. Why?" was the topic of Itev. A. fi. I'holpß Innt evening nt the Central Unptlst church In a series of Sunday evening sermons on "Picked Topics by Picked Men." The subject last evening whs sur> RentPd to him by Itobert M. Yost, edi torial imiiiiiKor of Tho Herald. In prelude Mr. Phelps briefly re viewed the career of Mr. Yost. He said in part; "The wide knowledge of affairs which is possible to the newspaper man opens naturally to him positions of public trust. Mr. Yost, a native of Missouri, has served as private secretary to the governor of that state, as well as as sistant secretary of state. B/ appoint ment of the governor ho was commis sioner to the expositions at Buffalo and Charleston. "Those men are happiest In hu.'ncss who choose one calling and devote a life to it. This Mr. Yost has done in the field of Journalism. I am grateful to him for the choice cf this subject to night. Of Psychological Interest "It is one of the most profound in the series. It Is of psychological inter est, dealing with the springs of human character; Biblical, naming one of the most interesting incidents of the New Testament; and modern, having to do with the relation between business and religion. ■ ■ "Why was Jesus' doom hastened by his driving the money-changers from the temple? Because Jesus was what he was, because the money-changers were what they were, and because they came into collision. "Notice how Jesus dealt with oppor tunity. This was an hour of triumph. About three million Jews, we are told by Edershelm, attended the passover festival at Jerusalem. As Jesus en tered the city with th» plaudits of thou sands who hailed him as .king, there were faces behind every lattice, and looking out from every window, crowd- Ing street and bazaar and asking, 'Who is this?' "The whole city waa stirred at his coming. There is no power like popu lar power. Learning appeals to a lim ited circle. Wealth makes enemies out of friends. The People Rule "The people rule the world. England knew It under Cromwell's army; France knew it in her revolution; llussla is learning it. "Jesus could have turned this power Into a bloody revolution, or still more cunningly have used It for a coalition with the party In power for his ad vantage. 'The Ignorance of the public Is the capital of monopoly.' How would you have used it? "Jesus was! religious. The source of his power was in prayer. He chose his partners In that way. His ambition was to please God. Emergencies and opportunities find us where we have placed ourselves before we met them. This day was no different from any other. It found him entering it with the purpose to serve his God. How out of date his whole point of view wast "The money-changers knew nothing of such a conception. They would have yawned if people had spoken of it, and skipped such references In a dally newspaper. They would have said they were religious, if they had been directly charged, as many persons make such claims today who have no heart in It. They were selling oxen and sheep for the passover. But they and the priests, their employers, who got all the profits from the sales which they were carrying on within the tem ple, lived for naught but themselves. "Their power was money, their ambi tion to make a place for themselves. Their attitude on every public question With the Chappies Rude Fellow. Be«y— My gwaclous. Such a vicious natuan Percy has!

The hissing scourge, the stam pede of the cattle, the falling 1 tables which Jesus knocks right and left— this is radical, It Is Insolent Interference with other men's affairs! Nay, It Is dangerous to their methods of doing business. "For this Jesus is no mere nolay fanatic. He Is. a world-power. The inevitable result at that stage of the world's history was the downfall of Jesus', Innocence suffering for the sal vation of guilty. Men are made good permanently in no other way.

Ills followers will face such Issues as he faced ' them, offering not force but sacrifice. They will, if they are strong enough, and they will win the ■world." . WELCOME END OF HOLIDAYS Jail Overcrowded With All Manner of Prisoners Awaiting Trial. Petty Charges May Be Dropped Police officials welcome the resump tion of business dars. Since the San Francisco disaster, April 18, cases have been piling up In the three police courts. — The jail Is full to overflowing with men and v.-omen awaiting trial. There are a number of Important pre liminary examinations that have been continued for nearly two months. An alleged murderer is awaiting ex amination; several Important cases of robbery r.id burglary hove been held up for weeks, and a number of forgery cases are on the docket. : ■ •• In Justice Austin's '-department there are many important cases and scores of petty trials. Justice Chambers' court Is clogged with business and Jus tice Rose is deluged with court busi ness. Will Reset Cases All felony examinations and misde meanor trials, will be reset. Cases which have been continued until the "first business day" will be, set for trial. The three justipes may hold even- Ing sessions in order to dispose of some of the surplus business. City Prosecutor Beebe and his assistants will have plenty of work for the next few weeks disposing of cases that have been ac cumulating. .. \ , ... •It Is probable, according to the city prosecutor, that a number of petty cases will be dropped from the- docket and prisoners charged with potty crimes may be discharged.

NEED PERMANENT ART GALLERY PAINTERS AND CRITICS URGE HOME FOR CANVASES Such an Institution Would Make Lei Angeles More Than Ever a Center for Art and Culture Recent exhibitions of paintings in Los Angeles have called renewed at tention to the need of a permanent art gallery here. • ' ; ; A prominent critic said to The Her ald yesterday: "As the seasons come and go and Los Angeles has no permanent art gal lery or place where works of the local painter folk may be seen, the need of such a place is clearly manifested. "The true lovers of art will find the nooks and cornerc where their favorite artist's work is shown, or perhaps the more courageous hunt for new paint ers, but the general people who would visit such a place it Is at present al most an impossibility. "True, many exhibitions have been held this year by many artists— good, bad and indifferent, but for the most part good. Some have been worthy of more credit than they have received and still others less. Permanent Center "When Los Angeles has a permanent art center, as is sure to come In the course of time, then will the busy citi zens and tollers view the work that Is being done and by seeing gradually themselves come up to a higher under standing of art— true art and not the 'hand painted' pictures which are manufactured In some store window 'while you wait.' "For art students, of which there is an ever growing number in the Angel city, there could be nothing better than a general exhibition gallery, where only work of merit would be hung. And in comparing the. works of the different artists, young and old, would this large class of earnest workers In the different branches be benefited. "Only within the last three or four years have exhibitions been held In Los Angeles, with the exception of small ones In Individual studios. And during this short time the people have rallied round their artists and are now giving loyal support. Artist Colony Grows "With the increasing artist colony discussions of ways and methods — technique, color and last, but not least, truth, are common. As to truth — the red rag of the schools— nineteen hun dred years ago one of the great ones asked pointedly, 'What Is truth?' and th's greatest One was silent. "Los Angeles has all ' Its phases of painters and paintings, nevertheless the day when the fine arts building is a reality will be one of gladness to the people of the city. If the site is ever decided upon by the Ruskin Art club and Its members are at peace the build ing will prove a. boon to Los Angeles." ■ Driven *• B*mf>rntUtm. .

SACRAMENTO, June B.— After pass- Ing five bills considered first In the order of necessity And two of lesser Importance the legislature late this af ternoon adjourned to meet at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. By 6 o'clock this afternoon tho sig nature of the governor had been affixed to tho group of measures requiring passage before the term of holidays could bo declared ended and they were filed with the secretary of state, be coming lnvvs. The bills In question were recom mendßtlons of the San Frnnclsco com mittee of forty and went through both houses without material amendment. They were as follows: Bills Recommended Senate bill No. 4 — Extending the statute of limitations for six months in order to provide for persona in San Francisco and elsewhere whose legal rights have been Jeopardized by the flra or the holidays. Senate bill No. I— Providing that in all ens*, except criminal proceedings, any act required to be performed dur ing the month of June, 1906, may b» performed up to July 10, with the same legal effect. Assembly bill No. I— Providing. that the insurance commissioner may exact from companies statements showing; the lost or burned policies. Assembly bill No. 3— Extending th« time for publication of the delinquent tax list until July 16. • Senate bill No. 3— Permitting courts to extend time for pleadings and other legal actions for a period of ninety days instead of thirty. Provides for Senate In addition to these the governor signed bills providing for the contingent expenses of the senate and assembly. A period of less than two hours was today required for the completion of such urgency business as confronted the legislature at midnight. The assembly convened at 10:30 this morning and the senate half an hour later. At noon a recess waa declared, both houses being summoned to return to the capltol at 4 o'clock to prepare their respective measures for transmission to the governor. Adjournment was effected shortly before 6 o'clock. Aside from 'routine procedure con nected with urgency legislation the feature of the day in the assembly was a discussion relating to allowances of mileage for the members. Jones of San Francisco opposed the adoption of the report. He suggested that each member figure his mileage on a maximum of 4 cents a mile. , Calls In Economy In conclusion he said: "Any man who opposes this amendment is taking something that docs not belong to him. I believe this is a practical form of economy, and I should not like to say here what I think of any member who will take more." The report, however, was adopted by a vote of 54 to 6. Mr. Jones gave notice of intention to reconsider. The allow ance of $25 for each member's expenses in the way of stationery, etc., was last night laid upon the table. Despite the repeated assurance of the San Francisco delegation that the Ju dicial measures received from the senate had been 'discussed and framed to meet the urg-ent requirements of the occasion, several of the members from other parts of the state offered amend ments that provoked repeated discus sions. It was declared that the arguments would accomplish nothing except tho delay in passage cf urgent measures, and state officials who were instrumen tal In framing the bills were invited into the assembly to consult with the members who desired to amend. ' Fuller explanation of the measures under consideration in several cases resulted In withdrawal of the amend mentß. Waste's Successor Named Assemblyman J. A. Bliss was ap pointed a member of .the committee on state university to succeed Assembly man Waste, resigned. ■ ' An Informal conference to consider the subject of appropriation was held this evening. Governor Pardee, Lieu tenant Governor Anderson, Chairman Stanton and two members of the Ways and Means committee— Dr. Hatch, sec retary of the state lunacy commission; President M. 35. Dalloy of the state normal school at Ban Jose and State Comptroller 10. P. Colgan were in at tendance. . ■ • • - State Comptroller E. P. Colgan was in attendanoe.
