NEW YORK, Dec. lil.—Artists'models in New York seem to bo unliketheir sisters, the chorus girls, in onedetail at least. They object to public-ity. Ithas never been known to helpthem and very often it hurts. Artistswere suddenly confronted withthe factthat it was almost an Impossibility tosecure interesting and refined types asmodels, and for proof of this one hudonly to visit the exhibitions, especiallythose representing students' work.Many of the studies portrayed any-thing but refined types of women. Thiswas the rule and not the exception.

Of course, it Is a well-known fact,and perhaps a fortunate one, that NewYork has no equivalent for tho "Latinquarter" and there are no colonies of"professional models" here as InParisand Rome. Painters for this •reasonoften have great difficulty in pro-curing good models, and it is a puregame of chance at that. Taking intoconsideration the needs of the girlswho find it necessary to pose, and theneeds of the artists, too, there wasorganized in New York several \u25a0 yearsago the Art Workers' Club for Women.The sole object of this club was toestablish more of a mutual sympathybetween artists and models as well astodignify the profession of posing andput it on a recognized basis.

There Is only one way by which theplain people of California can restorethemselves to full citizenship andpolitical liberty and that is to array

themselves solidly against the Republi-can machine, join hands with theDemocratic party and independentsand march into their rightful power.

President Roosevelt Is keenly alive tothe unholy combination withinhis ownparty in California. When he desiresto make an appointment in this statedoes he, like Governor Pardee, consult

the machine, the organization, the"mechanism"? Never. He drops .a

line or a telegram toPresident Wheelerof the University of California! Andwhen he wanted to name an honest,vigorous, just and fair-minded memberof the interstate commerce commissionthe president did not call upon BossHerrln and Boss Parker and BossKnight for any advice, or ask the stateRepublican machine of California toselect a suitable person. He promptly

appointed Franklin K.Lane, a Demo-crat.

Will Schmitz be nominated for gov-

ernor? Yes, if it pleases the railroadlobby to nominate him. Will Ituef be

elected senator? Yes, if the machine

can maintain its grasp on the situation.It 13 for the plain people

—plain Repub-

licans who have been rendered voice-less in their own party, plain Democrats

and plain independents— to join handsrgalnst this monstrous condition ofpolitical affairs inthis state.

California, through Its Republicanmachine

—"mechanism," the Union calls

it—

Js about the worst corporation rid-den state, politically. In the country.

It is absolutely dominated by the greatrailroads, whose representatives dictatepublic affairs generally.

"The plain people," says the Union,"have other standards ot morality,other standards of patriotism, otherand higher views of political renponsl-bllilyand duty." Of course they have,

hut the plnin people are not consideredby the Republican machine that nowdominates the state of California. Theynre shut out completely from any voicein the affairs of that party. A littlecoterie of big railroad lawyers haskindly tnken public affairs out of thehani<! of plninRepublicans and is pass-

Ing upon all public issues and appoint-

ments. Even Governor Panlee, who isa very respectable gentleman, writes Ineffect to citizens of Los Angeles county—on more than one occasion: "If so-and-so will secure the indorsement ofthe organization Iwill appoint him."And who is this organization? Chieflythe railroad corporations, representedby railroad lawyers.

Hut that's Just where tho troublecomes In. "Those whoso Judgments gobeyond tho mere mechntilsm of poll-tics" have nothing to Bay or do aboutIt and will have no Influence on thesituation. "Mechanism 1

'Is In the lle-

publlcan saddle and running things. IfUosit Herrln and Boss Parker and BossKnightcan be persuaded that Ituef nndSchmlts nre good things for tho rail-roads, then Ituef and Schmltz will bechosen for senator and governor, sofar ng the Ilepubllcun party cun exertIttclf.

"That the llepublicnniof the state,"says the Union, plaintively,"would sub-mit to Iluef's domination, elect his can-didate to tho governorship and choosea legislature favorable to nny furtherplans he might have la more thandoubtful. In tho view of those whose.luilKiiirnta go beyond the mere mechan-ism of politics, the thing Is Impossible."

The work of lighting Spring streetwas taken up by the Spring Street Im-provement association shortly after theBroadway lighting was undertaken, buthns been delayed on account of theefforts to secure the passage of thelaw. W. M. Garland is president andM. Lissner is secretary of the associa-tion.

The lightingon Spring street extendsfrom Temple street to the junction ofMain street and Broadway, and theposts are at intervals of 120 feet.

There will be no formal celebrationof the opening of the Spring streetlighting system because the Springstreet merchants fear that a celebra-tion at this time would interfere withthe holiday business.

The officers of the improvement asso-ciation are: W. M. Garland, president;W. C. Patterson, vice president; M.Lissner, secretary. The executive com-mittee which has succeeded in interest-ing property owners in the illuminationwere detailed as follows:

Deluged by Legislation

The Spring street posts, while follow-ing In general style the Broadwayposts, are different In a number of par-ticulars. Tho column Is fluted and thebase Is swelled and ornamented insteadof being perfectly plain. The posts onSpring street are being decorated inantique bronze.

To overcome labor nnd other objec-tions, through the efficient efforts ofthe Southern California delegation inthe legislature, the law was finallyenacted and now applies to the wholestate. Main street and Hillstreet, Eastnnd West Ninth street and other crossstreets are taking the subject up underIts provisions.

The Spring street posts were designedby Western Underwood of the Forve-Pettebone company of Los Angeles andwere made by the LlewellynIron works.The cost of each post Is about $110, orabout $15,000 for all. The city pays forthe electric current and the cost of theposts was assessed against the prop-erty owners on Spring street under alaw passed at the last session of thelegislature.

Posts Are Costly

After months of niniost work on thepart of n. number of Interested propertyowners of .Spring street the fondesthopes of the merchants of that busythnrnuglifnrc will br> realized tonightwhen the new lighting system will boput Into operation.

During tho past, few weeks workmenhave been busy erecting the ornamentalpOHts nlong the thoroughfare nnrl whenthe signal Is given this evening thelights on 132 posts will burst forth Inillumination. Following the exampleset by Broadway ( the Spring Street Im-provement association has providedelectricity equal to flsi candle power foreach post, mid although thero will boonly live globes to n post tho voltngpwill be us heavy as that of thn IJroud-way lights.

Tho members of the Spring StreetImprovement association have had ahnrd time in securing the much-covetedlights, but their efforts have at lastmet with success. At 7 o'clock lastnight as a. preliminary experiment thelights were turned on nnd tho streetIlluminated. Allthe lights were Inper-fect order nnd the effect was mug-nlflcent. The strength of tho new lightsis not as apparent on Spring street nson Broadway because of the muny pri-vate illuminations along the formerthoroughfare.

The first class at the AnnapolisNaval academy has graciously con-sented that fourth class cadets "may"testify when called upon by the au-thorities. The first class should betaken out and soundly cuffed and thenbe kicked off the reservation. SuchInsufferable insolence from wards otthe nation!

Hy the new process slag Is passedunder a spray of water as it is pourodfrom tho furnaces Jnto the cars to beremoved. This causes it to break Intofragments nnd cools It so that thutrains loaded with It are no more pic-turesque than trains loaded with pigiron. The granulated slug Is used forrailroad ballast and other purposes.

These slag trains are about the lastof the old-time fiery glories that madePlttsburg's environs picturesque atnight. Years ago the "Canada tops"put a stop to the great bursts of flamethat used to come from the blast fur-naces when charges were dumped intothem In the old-fashioned way, and,Incidentally, saving the heat. Thenopen hearth steel furnaces began todisplace Bessemer converters withtheir magnificent towers of goldenflame, the open hearth furnaces show-ing no fire at all. Tho slag trains con-tinued a picturesque featuro of theMonongaheln banks at night, but nowthey, too, are doomed.

Plttsburg willlook still less like "hellwith the lid oft" after the first of theyear, when the hot slag trains fromthe blast furnaces of the Carnegieplants willbe discontinued. Hereafterthe slag will be moved and dumpedcold.

IfLos Angeles can have a high class,well-entered and clean horse show, byall means start the movement for it.Out of doors shows are posslblo hereany day In the year, and good liorsc-flesh hereabouts is not Bcurce. Itwould be interesting indeed to compare

the cracks of the east with the best-blooded equities of the Pacific coast.

Showing1 at such an event is, ofcourse, a richman's sport. Fine horsesaro costly and their keep and careare expensive. Hut the poorer folklove fine horseß, too, and a show givesthem opportunity to feast their eyes

on the best in their several classes.The sport is utterly free from tho evllathat hedge about races; no betting ispermitted, and tho judges are übovoquestion.

Horse shows in the east have beenheld for many years, and are great

social and financial successes. NewYork, Chicago, Louisville, Kansas City,St. Louis, all hold fashionable indooraffairs, while Newport, Philadelphia,Atlantic City, Minneapolis and otherplacos hold open nlr functions. Ineither caso, some of the finest equitiesla the country are sent for exhibition,society turns out in droves, the pa-rude of both animals and humans Isstunning and Inspiring, and the con-tests for ribbons are keen and close.

A movement is under way to organ-

ize a horse show for I^os Angeles. Itshould succeed. A horse show is agood thing for any city, when it isproperly conducted, making, as it does,for better horseflesh, better and morecorrect equipment, higher class driv-ing and more thorough considerationof. the horse and its needs.
