Population of Los Angeles, 238,419 Lust w« forget: Mr. Huntington 11 Still thinking about those owl cars. Now some doctors say ballooning la the best nerve tonic. It all depends on the coming down. Los Angeles Is patiently waiting for Mr. Huntingtfln to start those owl cars. Patience Is a great virtue. It's dangerous to look like a general In Russia nowadays. Bearded men should patronize the barber shops. When the Russian farmers are through tvith harvesting we may ex- ;'*pect another revolt. Even revolts have V- seasons. :/'■ In Ohio the authorities have discov ered "potted chicken" that was only 3 veal. They are In luck that it wasn't meat. . Granted that Harry Thaw is crazy, it's no reason why "the very latest photos of Mrs.' Thaw" should be printed every day. There is always something doing in Denver.. Just now most of Us promi nent citizens are In jail becauae of an election contest. Harriman's horses won the prize rib bflns at the Long Branch horse show. Los Angeles and Pasadena should pull • them here with a rope of roses. "I can't help anybody this year," says Senator Flint. Alas! yes; and that's where some of his dearest friends are destined to fall down. - In a funny tabular statement tend ing to show Pardee's strength in the state Republican convention, the Ex press puts down as "Controlled by Abe Kuef, 129." Evidently a misprint, as everybody knows that the proper pro portion is, "Controlled by Abe Rucf, 825.'! • • Did you ever notice that whenever a partisan politician gets Into a nice, soft berth himself, he either declares at once In favor of civil service or coolly pooh-poohs "the unseemly scramble for public place." If you hadn't no ticed this, ask Senator Flint. He can tell you how true it is. Now it's the Japanese -who are scan dalized over the disclosure that they have been eating tinned horseflesh for canned cow* moat. But there Is some thing in they point of view. In Paris, for instance, tinned horseflesh is con sidered a delicacy nearly equal to the famed pate de tola gras. Long Beach trustees have followed the example of San Pedro's authorities and promised protection to ships that want to load or unload cargoes. It is regrettable that the necessity for such official assurances In a republic should arise. These two cities propose to run their municipalities on law-abiding lines. "I am a Democrat." says Mayor Dunne of Chicago, "and I intend to re main a Democrat." Consequently, and as a matter of course, he proceeded to divorce himself from the Influence of William R. Hearst and to kick over the Hearst yellows. So it goes, all along the line. The American people are coming to their senses. The people of Los Angeles hope that Mr. Huntlngton will not think too long about that owl car proposition. They believe he will seize the opportunity to put this city In the metropolitan class by his own generosity and from a sense of local pride and interest. They don't want him to wait until the owl cars start themselves under stress of hammer and tongs. l J3r. Moore, superintendent of city } schools, says that "year by year the ! quality of teachers is deteriorating, be ) cause we can't pay , good men and J women enough to keep them." Yes, but we can and must. The great city • of Los Angeles Is ashamed of itself for the beggarly wages it pays , Its teachers, and it will applaud a rev ' sonable Increase by the school board. Human nature Is Just about the same, whether north or south of the '. Maaon and 1 Dlxon line. A Plttsburg i mob. of .(00 angry men Bought to lynch the negro who was alleged to be the ■' corespondent In the Hart jo case. And I yet he had contested that he was only j hired by. white men ■ to ■ admit he was { ;the corespondent, when In fact he was not. But the defamation of a good i 'woman's name ' aroused the manhood j 'of that •cs.ndaJ-riaden city. ANYBODY BUT HEARST New York reports that "Sixty-nine delegates % representing the Brooklyn Democracy will go to the state con vention next month unlnstructed for any candidate, but with positive In structions to fight the nomination of William it. Hearst should his name be presented to the convention." Jn thl« expression' of disgust toward ths perpetrator of yellow ' Journalism, the Brooklyn Democrats voice the *entim«nts of the t>emocratld party In the state. The Democrats of New fork, In fnrt. have had a surfeit of Hearst. In the early period of his ex ploits In (ho big city hs was received with some favor by the Democrats, who regarded him aa a possibly useful political factor. But they made what they now recognize as the glaring mistake of sending him to congress. That boost caused the swelling of his bump of self-conceit to the proportions of a baseball and Inflamed, his political aspirations until they became Intolera ble. The support that Hearst received for the presidential nomination in 1904 showed, however, that a combination of wealth and abnormal gall may make even an Intellectual homentlty a dan gerous factor In politics. The ridicu lous pretense Of being a zealous cham pion of labor, while really a snob of the "shoddy aristocracy" class, has enabled him, with the aid of his string of yellow newspapers, to muster a con siderable political following. This at titude, together with the sophistries that please the Inconsiderate and Ig norant class, have made Hearst as baneful in the field of politics as Is the Canadian thistle in the field of agri culture. It Is because of the dangerous ten dency of Hearst's political activity, best known to intelligent Democrats in New York, that such unusual action Is taken as reported on the part of the Brooklyn contingent. It is a common practice to Instruct delegates to vote for a favorite who is seeking a nom ination, but special instruction to vote against a particular aspirant Is some thing extraordinary. It means, simply, "anybody but Hearst." And this posi tive determination Is the more remark able because Brooklyn gave Hearst a very large vote last year in the New York mayoral election. But the action of the Brdoklyn Democrats illustrates the disgust which Hearst now inspires among Democrats in all sections of the country. Demo crats who were Inclined to regard him with some favor In the early stage of his spectacular appearance in politics, now despise him for his treachery to the party. His attempt' to defeat the Democratic ticket In New York by or ganizing his Independence league and posing as its candidate for governor. has proved too rank for the Democratic stomach. But there Is some compensating ben efit even in the ignominious political career of Hearst. The) disgust he has inspired in the Democratic party has helped to unify the party and to bring together every element for a rally around W. ; J. Bryan as the Democratic candidate for president in the election of 1908. SHORT-SIGHTED AGAIN ,To the surprise of every Intelligent taxpayer In Los Angeles, the board of park commlsslonert yesterday declined to accept the lani donated by property owners of Euclid Heights for a park on Stephcnson avenue. This Is worse than short sight. It Is neglect of a plain public duty. Land owners In Los Angeles are as generous as those of any other city, but even our local people are not falling over each other In a wild desire to give up private property for city purposes. Los Angeles is lamentably lacking in small parks. It was short-sighted policy on the part of the founders of this new city ■to overlook and neglect park places. . That policy cannot be cor rected In the downtown districts, but in the newer sections, such as Euclid and Pico Heights, land offered free for purposes of small parks should be readily accepted, with thanks. The park board gave two "reasons" for refusing the Stephenson avenue land for a park. These "reasons" are, first, that no provision Vas been made in this year's budget for the Improve ment of new parks. The second "rea son" is that It was somebody's scheme to enhance private property In that neighborhood. '•'.'■') Both "reasons" are almost too silly for public discussion. The property owners who offer the land free ex pressly agree that the improvement of the property. Is not asked or expected this year and there -was no stipulation that tho city should build ithe park until the money was readily available. The second "reason" is Billler than the first, because The Herald has shown that when the city constructs and develops a park the increase in the price of surrounding property nat urally increases the taxes, increases the city's revenue, pays for the park Improvement and enhances the beauty and natiu-l advantages of the whole of Los Angeles. '•; ''1 . It seems like sheer stupidity, there fore, for the park board to refuse a donation of land for park purposes in a case where the stipulations are all In its own hands. Los Angeles has made this mistake too often heretofore. In the light of present Intelligence and knowledge of city building, it looks as though our city authorities ought to manifest some appreciation of the re quirements of a great metropolis. The' Stephenson avenue property owners may make one more offer of the land In question at the next meet ing of the park board. If they do, the board ahould be prompt In accepting it. There are already nlnety-»lx Repub lican candidates for the thirty-nine offices to be fllled by the people In No vember. It's three to one that flfty e/jven candidates are doomed to be left at the pjut. LOS ANOELE9 HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1906. CONDITIONS THERE AND HERE Tho high temperature enveloping most of the eastern states during the last two or three days Is reported as causing greAt distress in the cities. Along with the heat \* that most un welcomo side partner, excessive hu midity. When that double team works together with a steady pull no debater wants to take the negative end of the proposition "I« life worth living?" None but long-time dwellers In the big- e'ftstern cities can realize fully the meaning of the recent news, read here In Southern California, telllns; of the high markings of both humidity and temperature. Even the graphlo de scription of effect falls to give a true idea of the situation, except to persons who know the facts from experience. In the Herald's dispatch from New York Wednesday, for lnstnnce, It was stated that New York and its environs sweltered all day and fur Into the evening, for this was the hottest day here this year/ The "sweltering" does not stop with sunset In the east as It does, even in the warmest weather. here In the land of the blessed. The four million people of the great city, a vast proportion of whom swarm in grent tenement houses, dread the mid summer night because it gives no In vitation to slumber. What the people there do at night. In- Buch circumstances, is described In this feature of the dispatch: "Thousands of tenement house dwellers could not en dure to stay In their crowded homes and- deserted them Tor the time being for the city parks and the seashore, where they will sleep . tonight In the open." The night Is really the most distress ful part of the twenty-four hours under such conditions. There Is an abate ment of the Intense heat at night but not of the humidity. In the streets the air is oppressive by reason of its sul triness, but In the tenement hives where people are crowded together the atmosphere Is stifling. It Is this condi tion within the packed homes of the people— the middle classes to a large extent as well as the poor— that makes existence almost intolerable. For the sake of getting even a little breathable air these dwellers In the hot air boxes swarm out Into the streets and up to the flat roofs of the tall tenements, railed In generally by high pickets. Stoops and sidewalks are covered by fitful sleepers, men, women and children, with a large sprinkling of puny babies at the breasts of wornout mothers. In the districts near the rivers the sufferers swarm upon the piers and docks, seeking the feeble whiffs of breeze that come up from the j foul water fed by great sewers. Contrast such conditions of midsum mer life with those which prevail in Los Angeles. The great tenement house, in the first place, Is an unknown quantity here. Even the poorest people In this city have ample room, with rare exceptions, and there jls not a nook anywhere that does not afford an am plitude of fresh and wholesome air. "We know neither excessive temperature nor high humidity at night in Los An geles. Fresh and invigorating breezes from the ocean are almost Invariable, and instead of "sweltering" In the effort to sleep we are more likely to pull up the blanket, for the safte of ,/armth.

The *p«ak#r was a prosperous Cardiff trjfln, and the scone tvns the deck of the London and Southwestern rallwny's latest and moat modern utenmer. The | sii«Rfsf lnn seemed to take one back to the day* when mistletoe wn» wor «hlpp«d In England and clothing was limited, If picturesque, ■ The ni< hdniM was liyvrd, who in prlvnte life Is the Rev, Evan liees. When 1 was presented he wits smok ing a pipe In a comfortably undruldlcal manner. Dyved, attended by thirty Celtic not ables of Wales, with Alderman. Thomas of Cardiff rb master of ceremonies, croMed to Brittany yesterday to attend the Celtic fetes arranged to tnke pince in the little town of St. Hrieuc, some little distance wnat of St. Malo. The Breton Bardic Oorsell Is an off shoot of the Bardic Goriedd of the island of Britain. Dyved has come to receive the homage of his Breton sub jects. H«re on ft dolmen which i ates back to forgotten centuries and which la sur rounded by twelve ancient menhirs or pillars the druids nnd bards will stand, forming a guard around the archdrulds of both branches of the Celtic race. Gorgeous Robes The druids will be clad In their robes of snowy white: the bards will wear garments of brilliant blue. The arch drulds will be crowned with a diadem of oak leaves, and will each wear 'a breastplate Of pure gold. Around them will rise Celtic banners — the hernldlc dragon of Wales and the ermine of Brittany. The Celtic treasures will be brought forth— the horn of plenty, the sacred mistletoe, the mystic sword and other features necessary for the due observance of ancient customs and rites. The ceremonies began yesterday aft ernoon with the reception of the tired Welshmen at the railway station. On the platform was a group of Bretons in old-time costumes, Including the Breton archdruid, who speaks admir able English and who is editor of a local newspaper. The band of the Seventy-first regi ment played "Land of My Fathers" and the "Marseillaise," and a pretty little girl in. Breton dress presented Dyved with a beautiful bouquet. Then, in the station buffet, the Welsh bravely drank weak tea, and the French still more bravely pledged them In sweet cham pagne. Canon Edwards spoke In Welsh, and an old Breton peasant woman who was present assured me that she understood every word, bo similar are the two tongues. ... In the evening a Breton concert was given In the public park, at which two very excellent Welsh singers, David Michael and Miss Maud Parsons, cre ated wild enthusiasm by first singing Welsh gongs and then the "Marsell laise." The immense audience cheered and cheered again, and many flowers were thrown on. the platform. Celtic Service The strong religious views of the 1 Welsh prevented their taking active part in today's fete, their ceremonies being reserved for tomorrow. Early this morning they held a Celtic service In the hotel, at which several prominent Bretons were -present. It was a pretty compliment, and was explained to me by one of the Bretons present in this way: "Naturally, I am a Catholic, but today I am a Celt, and I am Liberal always!" St. Brleuo was crowded today with excursionists from neighboring towns, as well a* from Paris and the Channel Islands. The scene in the street - Is curious. Women In the white caps and green shawls of Brittany Jostle other women In modern dresses made accord ing to last year'rj Paris fashioi.s. Black coated priests and red-trousei'cd sol diers are there in dozens. A wedding procession passes, headed by the bridegroom playing a concer tina. Ancient country carts follow mo tor cars fllled with extravagantly be goggled. occupants. A trlumphial arch at one end of the town bears the worfl "Welcome," and tricolours and Union Jacks are, flying from every window and are festooned ALTERNATE RULERS. .

' • v . • r v ' j| "A , nation's Ideals," said Alderman Thomas.- "are enshrined -In •its ' lan guage. The Celtic peoples have quali ties that are all. their own, and they can best serve the . world by preserv ing their own characteristics and their own language." It was impossible not to be impressed with the poetic idealism of Alderman Thomas and his companions, apparent ly a typical group of prosperous mid die class men and women, including preachers, doctors and tradesmen. ... During the channel crossing they again and again broke almost instinc tively into the perfectly harmonized singing of "Land of My Fathers" and other Welsh national airs, and as they sang there was the- same faraway gleam in their • eyes as one observes With religious myßtlca and with men of downtrodden nationalities. The Welsh are not downtrodden, nor are the Bretons. Great Britain rejoices that the Welsh retain their own strange tongue, and the French gov ern, after some hesitation — the\French temperament yearning for uniformity In language aa in every other thing— now takes the same attitude. WHY SHE THREW HIM OUT A Philadelphia politician was talk ing about the last Samuel H. Ash brldge, former mayor of the city. /. "I worked under Mr. Ashbrldge' for three years," he said, "and found him a good masther, a considerate, kind and just master. ■ . "But one thing he always Insisted on. That was implicit obedience to orders. If he told you to do a thing, that, and nothing else, was what you were to do. He didn't- like a subordinate to try to improve on his orders. '. . "I once tried to improve on an order of Mr. Ashbrldge's. An errand I had been, sent on I did better, as I thought, than I had been told to do I It. But when I came back the mayor smiled and told me a story. "He said that there was a young man In love with a rich and beautiful girl. The girl informed him one afternoon that the next day would be her birth day. He said he was glad to hear it. He said he would send her the next morning . a bouquet of roses, one tobo for each year. . V . .. ; • "So that night he wrote a note to his florist, ordering the Immediate delivery of twenty roses to the young woman. But the florist, reading this order, thought he would please the young man by Improving on It and so he said to his clerk: .„,.■■ '; • '"Here's an order from young Smith for twenty roses. Smith Is one of my best customers. Throw in ten more for good measure.' "—New York Tribune. UNVEILCO Deep In the stillness of a night Whose rain had drenched the way I trod ■ * ■ I wakened from day's earthly dreams And walked alone with God. Rained down and drowned in dusky pools The quiet stars lay shining through; And earth was all so steeped in heaven That it was heaven, too. I listened, and the voice of God Bpoke to me In that lonely place; I raised my eyes in wondering fear,- " And looked, and aaw His face. And ever since. I see but Ood ■ In earth and man, in deep and height. As one whose dyes the sun has filled, ■ •• Looks round, and sees but light. —New York Tribune. - m- ,' iim« Set ol Teeth's*,' , I ■I^mfin iM»t»Z '*' -S ' ulione BT^frjWiWKM'W'^lJ^'-^ Broadway yE<~ XSENTIST&' Op«u evenings till 8:»«; Sundays I to U.
