THE HERALD'S CITY CIRCULATIONThe Harald'a circulation In the city of Los Angela*

la iarger than that of tha Examiner or the Expretaand second only to that of the Times.

Population of Los Angeles 201.249The real yellowperil is down New Orleans way Just

now.

The purport of all those questions Wu asked Is justcoming out

But Copper King Greene doesn't seem hurrying todispose of that surplus wealth of his, despite its menace.

Women take after councilmen with bloodhoundsthese library days. How'd you like to be an alderman?

Well, Wu ought to be able to run a boycott; he sawenough 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 Itpossible to stop, arrest andhaye fined a speed maniac, so itcan be done. Let thegood work proceed.

\u25a0 Itmust be with rather keen satisfaction that Havananow points to New Orleans and says to Uncle Sam:"Physician, heal thyself."

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."

Ten years ago a lot on Broadway, 41 feet front and120 feet deep, was Bold for $18,000. Last week itbrought $140,000. But ten years ago that lot was "awayout," as viewed from the business standpoint

Today's Herald la a record-breaker In the numberand extent of its local advertisements. At the close ofthe first week in August this newspaper Is compelled toenlarge Its columns In order to find space for the busi-ness .that comes to it, willinglyand gladly. No suchrapid 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 theadvertisements In today's Herald and see for yourselvesthe high character and profitable extent of the buslnesathis 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 wardsfc.ed for second place, the Fourth ward in third place

and the Second and Ninth wards tied for fourth place.

"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."

New Orleans people are fleeing to St. Tammany par-ish, which offers the open door to all. That parish issaid to be immune from yellow fever, no case of it everhaving developed there. Political fever is epidemic attimes, however, inthe 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 theorient as ithas In the Occident. On this side of the Pa-cific itappears to be fast "petering out." Leach was retired from politics with

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

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 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.

A suggestion of reform kind that is worth thinkingabout comes from Grand Rapids, Mich. It is a curfewlaw applicable to mothers. But why not also embracefathers in Its provisions? Many a boy Is following inhis father's footsteps when he trenches upon the cur-few rule.

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

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

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.

—the winning

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-

days over the game, there Is still a certain amount ofconcession to fancy In the way of Mouses and shoes andMen 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 areally pretty sunbonnet.

"With Miss Sutton, all this is as nothing worth. Ina plain white sort of washerwoman's blouse, without acollar, 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 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.
