Some facts that have been pub lished recently regarding the owner ship of railroads and other big in dustrial concerns seem significant The report shows 234 railroads and industrial corporations with a com bined capital of nearly eleven billion are owned by about 9SO.O00 stock holders, their aggregate holdings be ing about 109 shares. The significant thing about the matter however is the statement that while an Increase of only one and a half per cent In enpi tal U reported there was an increase ot seven per cent in the number of shareholders. Henry Clews, the fi nancial critic, construes this as unfa vorable from a business standpoint In that it shows stocks to he passing In to weaker hand-!. Whether his view 1? right or not the trend of affairs, if correctly set forth, Is interesting. CHKISTMAS ON MAKS. I Pity the Marfan! According to reports received from the big observatory at Flagstaff, Ari zona, and from other reliable astron omual authorities, the disappearance of the tnow cap over the south pole of that planet has been followed by one of the severe t bl zzardj In years and the Martian year, be it remem bered, is much longer, more durable and eccentric than the one we cele brate on the mere earth. So It Is in every respect probable, that while the surly ones of earth are growling nt a wet or chill Christmas, the inhabitants of Mars ure having to submit to extortions from the coal trust never remembered in Martian history; that the Martian Santa Cluuij i so frazz'ed by the cold that he may have. In actuality, postponed Chrst tuns. and that the attendance at Mar tian Christmas trees will be at least TO per cent loss than In former Mar tian years. All of which means that however mudwoe presses In on us. we have cause for gratitude that Mars is not our portion. We may have to com bat a stubborn furnace, but a degree of cold new to science is not knowing at our bones, as It probably Is at tho-e of our ethereal neighbors. OPERA IN ENGLISH. WHKKE LA FOLLETTE STANDS. While America has been hoping for the entranse of opera In' English through the front door, it comes steal ing on us. In a sense, through tho back door. During the past two or three years an "English grand opera company" has been grathe ng Impetus until it has come to employ a thou sand singers in a dozen different cit ies during an aggregate annual sea son of one hundred weeks and 'has added its comprehensive repertory j ed Housework Drudgery Housework ii drudgery lor the weak woman. She brush es, dusts and scrubs, or is on her feet all day attending to tlie many details of the household, her back aching, her temples throbbing, nerves quivering under the stress of pain, possibly dizzy feelings. Sometimes rest in bed it not refreshing, because the poor tired nervea do not per mit of refreshing sleep. The real need of weak, nervous women is satisfied by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It Makes Weak Women Strong and Slsk Women Well. This "Prescription" remove the cause of women's) weaknesses, hernia intlaitf nation and ulceration, and cures those weaknesses o peculiar to women. 11 tranqnilltes the nerves, encourages the appetite ana inauces reaiiui sieep. Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know what his ' Favorite Prescription" contains, a complete list of ingredients on the bottle-wrapper. Cc not let any unscrup ulous druggist persuade you that his substitute of unknown composition is "just ai good" in order that he may make a Hger profit.

This organi zation has made arrangements with the Brooklyn Academy of Mus'c for extended seasons In the vernacular. It also gives shorter seasons in other cities east and west. Such a big attack should not be without Its effect on the operatic cit adels of New York, Chicago and Phil adelphia.

The novelty of having his hair trimmed by a lady barber appealed to a mildly intoxicated clubman who entered on establishment where girls were employed as tonHorlallsts. Loath to leave the chair after his huir hud been trimmed, the clubman said to the girl: "Now gimme a shave." The girl performed this task and awaited further instructions. "Guess you can put on a couple of hot towels," said the clubman. After the hot towels had been ap plied the clubman enjoyed a face massage and permitted hiH hair to be p.nointed with perfume. "Anything else?" sweetly asked the maid. "Yes; I guess you may pull a couplo of teeth." Judge. Los Angeles is to try an experiment with a municipal newspaper and it will be watched with interest by the entire country. The publication of the paper by the city was authorized at the recent city election. Here are some of the conditions under which the paper will be published: The paper may be a daily or a weekly. It is to be mailed to sub scribers at the rate of 1 cent a copy, but given free to registered voters who call for it in person. It is to be managed and edited by a commission appointed by the mayor. The com missioners, three in number, are to strve without pay, but may hire a salaried secretary. The secretary, of course, will be the real editor. Tnere are provisions in the ordi nance against partisanship in the pa per, as well as against discussion cal culated to give offense. Particular at tention must be paid to municipal news, but other news, as well as com ment, may be published. Each po litical party is entitled to certain space for interviews and statements. As to the paper's policy, it must be that of the local administration and the majority of the voters. The thoughts of the majority are presum ed to be expressed on election day, especially in connection with referen dum proposals. How well this paper will serve the purpose intended remains to be prov en. The aim of its founders evidently is to provide the public with fair and unvarnished news regarding munici pal affairs in Los Angeles. But if this is the case why is it specified that the policy of the paper must conform to the policy of the city administra tion? Why should the paper have a policy of any sort save a rule to tne effect that it shall give full and fair publicity? Why not allow the com menting to be done by others through nlgned articles? The paper would then be a forum where in public ques tions could be freely discussed and from which contributors could expect and demand fair treatment. The danger in a municipal news paper Is that it might be improperly i used by those in power to further a ; continuance of their regime. The. Los Angelos scheme seems especially! open to this dang'r. Ia Follette has invaded Ohio upon his campaign for the presidency and he Ls striking hard. Fighting Bob has decided views which he does not hesitate to express. ne favors the j recall of Judges and says that one of society's greatest menaces is the crooked Judge. He says a judge that U honest wont be disturbed by the recall. Henceforth the country need have no doubt as to where La Follette stands upon this subject. When the meat trust cleared 15 mil lions in three years it took a lot of money the trust magnates did not earn. The greater part of that money should have been given to the stock raisers of the west or bestowed upon consumers in the form of lower prices.

Political enemies of Govr-rnor West have howled until they are hoarse that he has annulled the con.-rt.;tut'on by the adoption of his prison policy, j But it is now shown that the gover- J nor's policy Is more nearly In accord with the spirit and the letter of the constitution than was the old time penitentiary policy. Article 1, section IS of the state constitution says: "Laws far the punishment of crime shall be founded on the principles ot reformation, and not of vindicative justice." This clause shows the general sen timent of the constitution and with thU sentiment Governor West's policy is in full aceord. The West policy is to give prisoners who seem worthy a chance to reform and make good They are handled In such a way that their future is "up to them" and they are impressed with the Idea of self responsibility. The greater part of those so treated appreciate their op portunities and do make good. The West prison policy, in its main features at least, is absolutely right and It will succeed if given a good fulr trial.
