THE HERALD'S CITY CIRCULATION The Harald'a circulation In the city of Los Angela* la iarger than that of tha Examiner or the Expreta and second only to that of the Times. Population of Los Angeles 201.249 The real yellow peril is down New Orleans way Just now. The purport of all those questions Wu asked Is just coming out But Copper King Greene doesn't seem hurrying to dispose of that surplus wealth of his, despite its menace. Women take after councilmen with bloodhounds these library days. How'd you like to be an alderman? Well, Wu ought to be able to run a boycott; he saw enough of them while minister here to learn their ef- fectuality. The Russians yielded in Sakhalin "from humanity." Perhaps the same rule applied at Mukden, Liao Yang, Port Arthur, etc. ;r One policeman found It possible to stop, arrest and haye fined a speed maniac, so it can be done. Let the good work proceed. \u25a0 It must be with rather keen satisfaction that Havana now points to New Orleans and says to Uncle Sam: "Physician, heal thyself." Luxury, idleness, dissipation are the preventives of serious danger in America from the accumulation of great fortunes. California has furnished examples of such fortunes that were started with pick and shovel. The descendants of some of these fortune builders are likely to be back at the pick and shovel starting point before the span of another generation has passed. The offspring of multimillionaires almost invariably become mere spenders of accumulated wealth. Lavish extravagance, together with resultant habits of fashion- able dissipation, diminish the paternal legacy. And when if comes to dividing what is left of the legacy among another brood of children the original great for- tune shrinks to comparatively small proportions. The operation of that self-acting safety valve is well Illustrated in the experience of the Vanderbilt family. When William H. Vanderbilt died, twenty years ago, he left a fortune valued at $200,000,000. Today there is not a member of the family who is worth one-fourth that sum, with the possible exception of William K.Vander- bilt. The great fortune of nearly twenty years ago Ja being "blown to the four winds." It has been said that "In America it takes two gen- erations to create a great fortune but only one to dis- sipate it" A majority of the colossal fortunes of the present era were built up by a single generation. But whether the average great fortune Is the product of one or two generations Is not so Important as the second part of the proposition— tlw dissipating of it. Therein Is the safety valve which regulates the excessive expan- sion of wealth. But there is a basic factor in this general question of wealth absorption by the few which even the multimil- lionaire here quoted seems to have overlooked. There la a self-acting safety value which regulates the proa- euro of wealth accumulation. And when we cotne to consider the operation of that safety value the menace of wealth changes in form from that of an angry storm cloud to a gauzy film in the summer sky. It Is a well known fact that the larger part of the wealth held by the lucky thousand was accumulated within the span of one generation. Assuming that the present process of wealth absorption continues In the hands of a comparatively few Individuals, how long will It be ere the millionaires own all the property in the United Stales? That Is simply a mathematical problem. It has been said, as the result of a rough estimate, that one-half the property value In the United States is owned by one thousand Individuals. The estimate may be wide of the mark but itIs near ©nought to use as a basis for thought on the line of the statement quoted above. So said a prominent multimillionaire In this city last Friday, In the course of an Interview with a Herald representative. MAKING AND DISSIPATING WEALTH - "The amassing of great wealth in the hands of a few Is becoming a menace to the country and legislation re- lating to it willundoubtedly be enacted." Ten years ago a lot on Broadway, 41 feet front and 120 feet deep, was Bold for $18,000. Last week it brought $140,000. But ten years ago that lot was "away out," as viewed from the business standpoint — between Fifth and Sixth streets. . Today's Herald la a record-breaker In the number and extent of its local advertisements. At the close of the first week in August this newspaper Is compelled to enlarge Its columns In order to find space for the busi- ness .that comes to it, willingly and gladly. No such rapid and permanent growth has ever characterized any other publication on the coast and The Herald's suc- cess has become one of the topics of the city. Read the advertisements In today's Herald and see for yourselves the high character and profitable extent of the buslnesa this newspaper la now doing. A HERALD RECORD-BREAKER. The Sixth ward leads, as usual, in last week's num- ber of buildingpermits, with the First and Fifth wards fc.ed for second place, the Fourth ward in third place and the Second and Ninth wards tied for fourth place. " Mere fines will not deter the auto speed maniacs. A man who can afford to own a fast machine can afford to take the chance of being mulcted in a fine. The ef- fect of a few exemplary chan-gang sentences would be quite different. In yesterday's Herald half a dozen or more local cases were reported of boys arrested for various crimes. Such cases are increasing in number at an alarming rate, Indicating that the yellow journal school of crime continues to thrive. It is unquestionably the duty of the police commis- sioners to use drastic measures in stopping these scenes at once. They are a disgrace to the city and a shame to every decent person in the community. No such scenes would be possible if the laws regulating the selling of liquor were strictly enforced, and it is the duty of the police department to see that they are en- forced. The men who operate the places complained of and all others in their line of business should be made to understand at once that the people of Los Angeles will tolerate no such spectacle as is here presented. If the proprietors of such places Imagine that the result of the anti-saloon election meant an indorsement of these orgies they are woefully mistaken. Not one citizen in ten who voted against the closing of the saloons would for a moment think of indorsing such shocking scenes as are revealed in the above statement. The statement seems almost beyond belief, notwith- standing its credible source. How could the reverend observer have assured himself that so many girls in these different resorts were drinking intoxicants, all within a half hour? But even with liberal allowances for overcountlng, the report is astounding enough to shock the moral sensibility of the community. A DISGRACEFUL SPECTACLE The startling statement has been made by a local clergyman that in three Los Angeles cafes, within thirty minutes, he saw "three hundred and forty-seven girls drinking Intoxicating liquors and saw young girls car- ried out in a helpless condition." New Orleans people are fleeing to St. Tammany par- ish, which offers the open door to all. That parish is said to be immune from yellow fever, no case of it ever having developed there. Political fever is epidemic at times, however, in the Tammany of Manhattan island. The American boycott, transplanted in China, is re- ported as having sprouted rather promisingly. It re- mains to be seen whether it will flourish as well in the orient as it has In the Occident. On this side of the Pa- cific it appears to be fast "petering out." Leach was retired from politics with the campaign whose untoward results I have described. He became a very flagrant personage over the state gen- erally and finally was killed by a fall from his horse in San Diego,') which was always his home during.his resi- dence in California. How the vagary ever got possession of his mind and how he came to .ex- ploit it at this time Is one of those things that, as Dundreary says, "a fellow cawn't - find out, you , know." Poor Stephen A. Douglas had to en- dure a great many hard knocks during his varied career, but to have j had Ito be responsible for the parentage of Wallace Leach would have been,"dem- nltlon" hard. : .. ' ''.'; ': ' had a statuesque and very large head and shoulders and a magnificent torso.' The great opponent of Lincoln "was al- most as dark as the famous Black Douglas himself, while Wallace' Leach had a complexion of the ultra florid caste. - Trunks, suit cases, bags, at Cunning- ham's Trunk Factory, 629 S. Spring. Phones 818. ' _• \u25a0...-- Think of real estate transactions in July reaching the high figure of $1,300,000! It couldn't happen anywhere save in Los Angeles. An eastern paper suggests that "owners of automo- biles be compelled to have fenders attached for the pro- tection of pedestrians." A more effective plan would be an automatic attachment that would perforate the tires when the machine exceeds the legal speed limit. In the first four days of August 136 building permits were issued for Los Angeles structures, representing a total value of $279,261. This splendid start indicates that the month will equal the record for July, showing no abatement of activity at any period of the summer season. He was a very different kind of a man from Kewen. In fact, he was a most extraordinary creature from all points of view. He went to San Diego from Idaho, where he had been a com- posite of a Yahoo lawyer and a Jour- nalistic Honyahym. .He /was "smart," in the American sense, and could talk a brass knob off a house. He was so small that you could put him in your vest pocket. By some Inscrutable cir- cumstance such people occasionally force themselves to the front, gener- ally, as in his case, to their own ulti- mate discomfiture. ' short of stature, but, unlike Leach, he There was another very curious con- gressional election which occurred In Los Angeles about twenty years or so ago, in which one Wallace Leach was the Democratic candidate. When Leach ran the district was reliably Democrat- ic, and Leach, like Kewen, beat him- self. : I made Colonel Kewen's acquaintance during that campaign and can testify that a more charming gentleman never figured in the district. Success or de- feat were the same to him, and when the famous and magnificent El Molino estate passed out of his hands by the compound interest abracadabra he had the satisfaction of knowing that more good champagne had been drunk in it \u25a0 than in any other house in . Southern California, unless that General Ban- nlng's was the exception, and that more pretty damsels had passed over its portals. The colonel was gallantry it- self, and, coming or going, no lady ever crossed the threshold of his house without being kissed. I believe this was a good old Mississippi habit which he brought with him from the south and as to which we may apply the royal motto, "Honl sol gui mal y pense." Swiff. Indeed was the bird which con- veyed the news of this indiscreet speech to Los Angeles. It was probably no sooner uttered than It was regretted by the Impetuous orator. But like Gen. Scott's "hasty plate of soup" and other felicitous utterances of the kind It could not be recalled and did Rood work as a maker of votes for Houghton. It secured that gentleman's election to congress, and his skilled course in that body resulted in'his re-election until Santa Clara county was cut out of tho district. "How v about the Wilmington break- water, my friend?" replied Kewen.' "Well, allI've got to say about the Wil- mington breakwater is that It is a bilk." The Fatal Question "How about ' the, Wilmington break- water, colonel?" \u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0'.\u25a0. Early in his campaign Col. Kewen went down to the city of "bay and climate" to make a speech. A great concourse for such a email place gath- ered to hear him. They were "laying"' for the good Angeleno. He had not proceeded far in' his speech 'when some determined San Dle'gan yelled out: ] The people of Los Angelea then as now were devoted .to their harbor. Mainly through' the strenuous efforts of the late Gen. Fhlneas Banning, con- gress about that time had made con- siderable appropriations for the im- provement of Wilmington harbor, which were being expended very much to the pleasure of the people of Los Angeles,, city and county. The peo- ple of San Diego, on the other hand, were very Jealous of such governmental outlays. They looked at any attempt? to set up a harbor at Wilmington or Sari Pedro as something to be depre- cated. Brilliant aa he was, ifCol. Kewen had accepted his nomination and settled down In El Mollno and stayed there till the end of the campaign he would un- doubtedly have been elected. His great gift of speech was accompanied by an inability to remember, as Goethe says, that, while speech Is silver, silence may sometimes be golden. As a matter of fact, taking the gen- eral run of things, It was hard to figure up a defeat for Kewen, and yet he wan beaten and badly beaten, by his cold blooded and imperturbable opponent and the reason why I propose to tell. ornate elocution hnd no limit In their appreciation of the gallant Colonel Ned Kewen, And were speculating In advance on the effect he would be sure to produce In congressional marble halls.- There were no bounds to his popularity In Los Angeles and South- ern |(/allfornla, and El Mollno, his mansion on the San Gabriel valley, was the home of a princely hospitality. A suggestion of reform kind that is worth thinking about comes from Grand Rapids, Mich. It is a curfew law applicable to mothers. But why not also embrace fathers in Its provisions? Many a boy Is following in his father's footsteps when he trenches upon the cur- few rule. Notwithstanding the fact that every morning dally InLos Angeles had two or three pages about? the water ques- tion within the pnat week, the San Francisco Chronicle had not a tele- graphic line about the biggest project which has ever been advanced upon the Pacific coast. That Journal did manage to get In a few lines about the matter editorially, however, to the effect that Los Angeles wns getting ready to provide water facilities for a population of two millions and to bond the city for $23,000,000 for that purpose. When the editor wrote that para- graph he was simply paralyzed. It Is comparatively n short time since Los Angeles was looked upon as, and In- deed It wks little less than, a mere "cow county," and the city of that name was a small 'dobe pueblo. In 1572 the congressional district of Los Angeles, which now has a district of her own, and which Is fully entitled to half another, formed a portion of the Fourth district, which ran up to the San Francisco line and took in Santa Clara county, running down to the Mexican line on the south, thus giving it a straight length of six hun- dred miles, and .more than that length diagonally, from, Santa Clara, on the bay, to Yuma, on the Colorado. The probability Is extreme that, in the next apportionment, founded upon the cen- sus of 1910, the region now known as Los Angeles county will be entitled to three members of the house of repre- sentatives. . . \ Was a Big District Even as late\as 1886 the Los Angeles district ran away north of San Fran- cisco and took in Alpine county. , The campaigner who had to get over It in that year, from Yuma to Alpine, had to keep hopping from a car to a stage coach and in some cases into a steam- boat, and was sometimes lucky If he could repose himself on a billiard table when his political labors were over for the day. ''-:' I made* the campaign that year my- self as the Democratic candidate, and can vividly recall having secured a bench for" my - slumbers, and having hardly got Into my first nap when a deputy sheriff arrived with an insane woman, whom he was taking to the State Insane asylum, when I was per- force, obliged to yield to the exigent "place aux dames," which 1b nowhere go heartily observed as In California, and hie me to the billiard table. In the last thirty years or so-there have been two congressional elections, In the district of which Los Angeles was a part, which had. notably interest- ing features, and which were interest- ing besides, from the personnel of the contestants. The first was that of 1872. The candidates were , Sherman O. Houghton, who Is today a well known citizen ofLos Angeles, that might make a rattling campaign tomorrow were he called upon, and who was the Republi- can nominee, and Colonel B. J. C. Kewen, who -uplifted the Democratic standard. The district was at that time said to be heavily Democratic, and Kewen was thought to have a walk- over! Some of his enthusiastic parti- zans even went so far as to put his majority at 5000. ' . . " He Was a Yankee Mr. Houghton was a representative Yankee, cool-headed, argumentative, perfectly poised, sure to make a point where skill and self-ppssesslon and a considerable element of force were likely to count. He hailed from the extreme north end of the district, and canvassed every portion of it with In- dustry and sagacity. He shrewdly •avoided a Joint debate, and kept peg- ging away up till the eve of election day, with true New England persever- ance. By the way, Tom Reed, the czar of the house, read law with Houghton in San Jose, and entered into the practice of the law from his office. :v: v , There' were various reasons why Kewen was thought by most people to be a sure winner. In the first place, he was a typical southerner and an argonaut. He and his brother Achilles —the latter a noted duellist— weVe the very pink of chivalry and high In the confidence of the Gwin-Terry element of the . Democracy. \u25a0 He was a fine lawyer, with most ingratiating man- ners and magnetic ways. He was re- garded as one of the greatest stump speaker of the state, and, by many, was In the same galaxy as Baker, Edgerton and "Tiom Fitch. Those who were fond of glowing and And he was, body, boots and breeches. This vulgarian was actually vain of being, as he claimed, a by-blow of the great apostle of squatter sovereignty, whom he resembled in no respect what- ever. It was true that Douglas, whom as a boy I had met, was) like . Leach, "Oh, I. see; you think I'm all in." Was All In I tfas at that time editing what was recognized as the Democratic organ. On jmy way to my office I was told by scores of stanch Democrats that they were going to vote for Leach's opponent. In an hour or so, as I ex- pected, Leach came into my office. Naturally of a florid complexion, his face was blazing, which was to be ex- pected. He leaned over to rhe and said: "Have I ruined myself?" "Well," I replied, "you have certainly done yourself no good." • To the astonishment of everybody he launched. Into a long rigmarole to the effect that he was the bastard son of Stephen A. Douglas by an Irish cham- bermaid in a Springfield hotel. In com- mon with about everybody else, I was pinching myself to find out whether I were asleep or awake. I saw per- sons whom I knew well leaving the platform. The list of vice presidents was decreasing very sensibly. The murmurs -were both loud and deep. The amazement was unbounded that this man should have made such an un- heard-of assault on the virtue of his own mother, especially as there had been no reference ' to such recondite family matters. His Wild Tale , One night in the heart of the con- greßslonal campaign, Wallace Leach spoke from a stand In front of the Downey block. The best people of Los Angeles -were on the platform and in the audience. He seemed to me to be excited and nervous and to be acting very much as Ifhe had been drinking too much, as many people afterward charitably assumed to have been the case. What the envoy of Russia said to the envoy of Japan, and vice versa, after their Introduction by Pres- ident Roosevelt, probably will not be reported. But maybe the purport of the opening remarks was that it seemed to be a long time between lmblbatlons of vodka and sake. Aug. 6 in the World's History A motor boat capable of speeding more than forty mlleß an hour is reported from Bridgeport, Conn. As that kind will be about the smallest fast going craft on the water It is not likely to develop a weakness for butting into everything in sight after the style of the automobile. /Badlands haa just sold its $100,000 worth of road im- provement bonds at a premium of $6067. That speaks well for the credit of the progressive little city. There were several bids and all were above par. \u25a0 Redlanda now haa $200,000 available for roads aa $100,000 Is pro- Tided for by property assessment. Charily may cover a multitude of sins, as the Bible intimates, but ' It Is hardly expansive enough to cover a »1000 graft In a $2000 collection. The disclosure of such a graft in connection with a local charitable fasti- iutlon will haye a tendency to stop gifts to unindorsed collectors In the name of charity. 1577— Queen Elisabeth granted a license lo John Day and Richard Day, his son, during their, lives and that of the longest liver, to print the psalms of David In meter. . \u25a0 1663—KingPhilip made his appearance at the court of Plymouth and solicited ' the continuance of the amity and friendship which had subsisted between the governor of Plymouth and hla father and brother, and promised for himself and his successors to remain subjects of the king of Kngland, 1778— Hleur Gerard, ambassador from France, Introduced to congress.

May Button of Pasadena. And it is good to hear that in merrle England this young athlete is taken for just what she is — an earnest, unaffected American girl, free of fol-de-rols, who went over there for the championship and let no foolishness stand in her way of getting it. • Speaking of this, read what the London Chronicle had to say of her work: "In England, strenuous as young women are nowa- days over the game, there Is still a certain amount of concession to fancy In the way of Mouses and shoes and Men and waistbands, and such things. Some ladies, in- deed, have even gone so far during the week as to ad- venture their chance for the championship beneath a really pretty sunbonnet. "With Miss Sutton, all this is as nothing worth. In a plain white sort of washerwoman's blouse, without a collar, without a tie, without cuffs, with no appearance, of a waistband, with a short 'three-quarter' skirt black 1 stockings and low white shoes — in short, with really no ornament at all save a pink ribbon tying up her bonny brown hair at the neck as though to keep it out of the way—thus appareled Miss Button faces her opponents with an air of serene confidence that la quite refreshing. "Magnificently muscular, she appears to care noth- ing for the minor graces, nor even the little tricks and dodges in which her male compatriots delight. She Is all for the rigor of the game. There Is no tripping after the ball with her, no showing off her figure at the net. She just stands, near the base-line for the most part, and sends the ball over the net In terrific drives. "Yet, with it all, there Is nothing offensively mascu- line about her. She gives one the Impression of being just a fine, strong, healthy, athletic American girl. Bbc Is, at any rate, a kind of tennis player that will take a deal of beating." It is hard to keep back a cheer for our California girls after such a tribute. Of course, we have known all . these things for this long while, but It la good to have the world acknowledge them. Here's to little Miss But- ton, and may she long bold the championship and live to teach the earth the glories of the California brand of. glrUltUßffii OUR GIRLS, GOD BLESS 'EM 4 \W^r>|y^ Flftson Thousand Dollar, Piano jßcf ttji'if Mada for the Whlta Horn* (at '^*ssl Opgt Washington) by Stelnway tt Son* *f-j m m The ' m f Steinway Piano A' 111 In the Homes of Royalty - M \Mjd.

Luxury, idleness, dissipation are the preventives ofserious danger in America from the accumulation ofgreat fortunes. California has furnished examples ofsuch fortunes that were started with pick and shovel.The descendants of some of these fortune builders arelikely to be back at the pick and shovel starting point
before the span of another generation has passed.
The offspring of multimillionaires almost invariably
become mere spenders of accumulated wealth. Lavishextravagance, together with resultant habits of fashion-able dissipation, diminish the paternal legacy. Andwhen if comes to dividing what is left of the legacyamong another brood of children the original great for-tune shrinks to comparatively small proportions.
The operation of that self-acting safety valve is wellIllustrated in the experience of the Vanderbilt family.
When William H.Vanderbilt died, twenty years ago, heleft a fortune valued at $200,000,000. Today there is
not amember of the family who is worth one-fourth thatsum, with the possible exception of William K.Vander-
bilt. The great fortune of nearly twenty years ago Jabeing "blown to the four winds."
Ithas been said that "InAmerica it takes two gen-
erations to create a great fortune but only one to dis-sipate it" A majority of the colossal fortunes of thepresent era were built up by a single generation. Butwhether the average great fortune Is the product of oneor two generations Is not so Important as the secondpart of the proposition— tlw dissipating of it. ThereinIs the safety valve which regulates the excessive expan-sion of wealth.
But there is a basic factor in this general question ofwealth absorption by the few which even the multimil-lionaire here quoted seems to have overlooked. There
la a self-acting safety value which regulates the proa-euro of wealth accumulation. And when we cotne toconsider the operation of that safety value the menaceof wealth changes in form from that of an angry storm
cloud to a gauzy film in the summer sky.
It Is a well known fact that the larger part of thewealth held by the lucky thousand was accumulatedwithin the span of one generation. Assuming that thepresent process of wealth absorption continues In thehands of a comparatively few Individuals, how long willItbe ere the millionaires own all the property in theUnited Stales? That Is simply a mathematical problem.
Ithas been said, as the result of a rough estimate,
that one-half the property value In the United Statesis owned by one thousand Individuals. The estimatemay be wide of the mark but itIs near ©nought to useas a basis for thought on the line of the statementquoted above.
So said a prominent multimillionaire In this city lastFriday, In the course of an Interview with a Heraldrepresentative.
MAKING AND DISSIPATING WEALTH-"The amassing of great wealth in the hands of a few
Is becoming a menace to the country and legislation re-lating to it willundoubtedly be enacted."

"Mere fines willnot deter the auto speed maniacs. A
man who can afford to own a fast machine can affordto take the chance of being mulcted in a fine. The ef-fect of a few exemplary chan-gang sentences would bequite different.
In yesterday's Herald half a dozen or more localcases were reported of boys arrested for various crimes.Such cases are increasing in number at an alarmingrate, Indicating that the yellow journal school of crimecontinues to thrive.
Itis unquestionably the duty of the police commis-sioners to use drastic measures in stopping these scenesat once. They are a disgrace to the city and a shame
to every decent person in the community. No suchscenes would be possible if the laws regulating theselling of liquor were strictly enforced, and it is theduty of the police department to see that they are en-forced.
The men who operate the places complained of andall others in their line of business should be made tounderstand at once that the people of Los Angeles willtolerate no such spectacle as is here presented. Iftheproprietors of such places Imagine that the result of theanti-saloon election meant an indorsement of theseorgies they are woefully mistaken. Not one citizen inten who voted against the closing of the saloons wouldfor a moment think of indorsing such shocking scenesas are revealed in the above statement.
The statement seems almost beyond belief, notwith-standing its credible source. How could the reverendobserver have assured himself that so many girls inthese different resorts were drinking intoxicants, allwithin a half hour? But even with liberal allowancesfor overcountlng, the report is astounding enough toshock the moral sensibility of the community.
A DISGRACEFUL SPECTACLEThe startling statement has been made by a local
clergyman that in three Los Angeles cafes, within thirtyminutes, he saw "three hundred and forty-seven girlsdrinking Intoxicating liquors and saw young girls car-ried out in a helpless condition."

Think of real estate transactions in July reaching thehigh figure of $1,300,000! It couldn't happen anywheresave in Los Angeles.
An eastern paper suggests that "owners of automo-biles be compelled to have fenders attached for the pro-tection of pedestrians." A more effective plan wouldbe an automatic attachment that would perforate thetires when the machine exceeds the legal speed limit.
In the first four days of August 136 buildingpermitswere issued for Los Angeles structures, representing atotal value of $279,261. This splendid start indicatesthat the month will equal the record for July, showingno abatement of activity at any period of the summerseason.
He was a very different kind of aman from Kewen. In fact, he was a
most extraordinary creature from allpoints of view. He went to San Diego
from Idaho, where he had been a com-posite of a Yahoo lawyer and a Jour-nalistic Honyahym. .He /was "smart,"
in the American sense, and could talka brass knob off a house. He was sosmall that you could put him in your
vest pocket. By some Inscrutable cir-cumstance such people occasionally

mate discomfiture.'

There was another very curious con-gressional election which occurred InLos Angeles about twenty years or soago, in which one Wallace Leach wasthe Democratic candidate. When Leachran the district was reliably Democrat-ic, and Leach, like Kewen, beat him-self. :
Imade Colonel Kewen's acquaintanceduring that campaign and can testify
that a more charming gentleman neverfigured in the district. Success or de-feat were the same to him, and whenthe famous and magnificent El Molinoestate passed out of his hands by thecompound interest abracadabra he hadthe satisfaction of knowing that moregood champagne had been drunk init
\u25a0than in any other house in.SouthernCalifornia, unless that General Ban-nlng's was the exception, and that morepretty damsels had passed over itsportals. The colonel was gallantry it-self, and, coming or going, no ladyever crossed the threshold of his housewithout being kissed. Ibelieve thiswas a good old Mississippi habit whichhe brought with him from the southand as to which we may apply theroyal motto, "Honl sol gui mal ypense."
Swiff. Indeed was the bird which con-veyed the news of this indiscreet speech
to Los Angeles. It was probably nosooner uttered than Itwas regretted bythe Impetuous orator. But like Gen.Scott's "hasty plate of soup" and otherfelicitous utterances of the kind Itcould not be recalled and did Rood workas a maker of votes for Houghton. Itsecured that gentleman's election tocongress, and his skilled course in thatbody resulted in'his re-election untilSanta Clara county was cut out of thodistrict.
"How vabout the Wilmington break-water, my friend?" replied Kewen.'"Well, allI've got to say about the Wil-mington breakwater is that Itis abilk."
The Fatal Question"How about
'the, Wilmington break-
water, colonel?" \u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0'.\u25a0.
Early in his campaign Col. Kewenwent down to the city of "bay andclimate" to make a speech. A greatconcourse for such a email place gath-ered to hear him. They were "laying"'
for the good Angeleno. He had notproceeded far in' his speech 'when somedetermined San Dle'gan yelled out:
] The people of Los Angelea then asnow were devoted .to their harbor.Mainly through' the strenuous effortsof the late Gen. Fhlneas Banning, con-gress about that time had made con-siderable appropriations for the im-provement of Wilmington harbor,which were being expended very muchto the pleasure of the people of Los
Angeles,, city and county. The peo-ple of San Diego, on the other hand,were very Jealous of such governmentaloutlays. They looked at any attempt?to set up a harbor at Wilmington orSari Pedro as something to be depre-
cated.
Brilliantaa he was, ifCol. Kewen hadaccepted his nomination and settleddown In El Mollno and stayed there tillthe end of the campaign he would un-doubtedly have been elected. His greatgift of speech was accompanied by aninability to remember, as Goethe says,that, while speech Issilver, silence may
sometimes be golden.
As a matter of fact, taking the gen-
eral run of things, It was hard to figure
up a defeat for Kewen, and yet he wanbeaten and badly beaten, by his coldblooded and imperturbable opponentand the reason whyIpropose to tell.

Notwithstanding the fact that everymorning dallyInLos Angeles had twoor three pages about? the water ques-tion within the pnat week, the SanFrancisco Chronicle had not a tele-graphic line about the biggest projectwhich has ever been advanced uponthe Pacific coast. That Journal didmanage to get Ina few lines about thematter editorially, however, to theeffect that Los Angeles wns gettingready to provide water facilities fora population of two millions and tobond the city for $23,000,000 for thatpurpose.
When the editor wrote that para-graph he was simply paralyzed. ItIscomparatively n short time since LosAngeles was looked upon as, and In-deed It wks little less than, a mere"cow county," and the city of thatname was a small 'dobe pueblo. In1572 the congressional district of LosAngeles, which now has a district ofher own, and which Is fully entitledto half another, formed a portion ofthe Fourth district, which ran up tothe San Francisco line and took inSanta Clara county, running down tothe Mexican line on the south, thusgivingit a straight length of six hun-dred miles, and .more than that length

three members of the house of repre-sentatives... \ Was a Big DistrictEven as late\as 1886 the Los Angeles
district ran away north of San Fran-cisco and took in Alpine county. , Thecampaigner who had to get over Itinthat year, from Yuma to Alpine, hadto keep hopping from a car to a stage
coach and in some cases into a steam-boat, and was sometimes lucky If hecould repose himself on a billiard tablewhen his political labors were over forthe day. ''-:'Imade* the campaign that year my-

In the last thirty years or so-there
have been two congressional elections,
In the district of which Los Angeles
was a part, whichhad. notably interest-ing features, and which were interest-ing besides, from the personnel of thecontestants. The first was that of 1872.
The candidates were , Sherman O.Houghton, who Is today a well knowncitizen ofLos Angeles, that might make
a rattling campaign tomorrow were hecalled upon, and who was the Republi-
can nominee, and Colonel B. J. C.Kewen, who -uplifted the Democraticstandard. The district was at thattime said to be heavily Democratic, andKewen was thought to have a walk-over! Some of his enthusiastic parti-
zans even went so far as to put hismajority at 5000.
' . ."He Was a Yankee
Mr. Houghton was a representativeYankee, cool-headed, argumentative,perfectly poised, sure to make a pointwhere skill and self-ppssesslon and aconsiderable element of force werelikely to count. He hailed from theextreme north end of the district, andcanvassed every portion of it with In-dustry and sagacity. He shrewdly

There' were various reasons why
Kewen was thought by most peopleto be a sure winner. In the first place,he was a typical southerner and anargonaut.

of the women's tennis championship by a daughter ofour own. May Button of Pasadena. And it is good tohear that in merrle England this young athlete is takenfor just what she is
—an earnest, unaffected American
girl, free of fol-de-rols, who went over there for thechampionship and let no foolishness stand in her wayof getting it.
•Speaking of this, read what the London Chronicle
had to say of her work:"InEngland, strenuous as young women are nowa-

stockings and low white shoes—
in short, with really noornament at all save a pink ribbon tying up her bonnybrown hair at the neck as though to keep itout of theway—thus appareled Miss Button faces her opponentswith an air of serene confidence that la quite refreshing.
"Magnificently muscular, she appears to care noth-ing for the minor graces, nor even the little tricks anddodges in which her male compatriots delight. She Isall for the rigor of the game. There Is no tripping afterthe ball with her, no showing off her figure at the net.She just stands, near the base-line for the most part,and sends the ball over the net In terrific drives.
"Yet, with it all, there Is nothing offensively mascu-line about her. She gives one the Impression of beingjust a fine, strong, healthy, athletic American girl. BbcIs, at any rate, a kind of tennis player that will takea deal of beating."
It is hard to keep back a cheer for our Californiagirls after such a tribute. Of course, we have known all.these things for this long while, but Itla good to havethe world acknowledge them.
