THE HEUALD'S CITY CIRCULATION

'•.larger than that of the Examiner or the Express
and second only to that of the Times.

Japan seems to be having a touch of yellow, herself.
} It Japan isn't careful, she'll raise the spirits of those
"illustrious ancestors" by her nasty behavior.
Every riot over peace pulled off In Japan makes that
country more contemptible in white men's eyes.
And now, Just to keep T. R. in the limelight, John
Mitchell proposes to stir up another strike for him to
settle.
The only wonder is that 764 Angelenos could be
hoodwinked by such a palpable fake as the yellow

The stockholders of the San Francisco salt trust
nave applied to the courts for leave to dissolve. The
salt stock was supposed to be sufficiently soaked with
water to dissolve itself.
The • Herald's suggestion to make the affirmative
vote on the water issue "anywhere between 10 to 1 and
unanimous," was adopted. ' The result shows . more
than 14 to 1, which may be said about "splits the dif
ference."
The time has arrived when Los Angeles mothers
busy themselves with the outfitting of their boys and
girls for the opening of the school term. A large in
crease In the number of pupils, as compared with last ,
year, IB assured.
In regard to the fruitless pursuit of a horse thief
San Bernardino reports that the sheriff ''found traces_pf

traces the rest of the harness and the horse could not
have been far away.
The sale of Spring street improved property, sixty
foot front, for $250,000, it being between Sixth and
Seventh streets, shows how the pressure for business
accommodation is affecting values on the leading thor

The Increasing number of burglaries in Los Angeles
Indicates that the summer outing season of the burglar
lons profession is at an end and that business in the
city Is resumed for the fall and winter. Also, that we
have no chief of police.
The flight of an aeroplane at the state fair in Sac
ramento is reported as "not a great success." This be
cause it "was in the air only a minute, landing safely."
Perhaps the- crowd expected a repetition of the shocking
fate that befell the former navigator of that machine.
The earthquake disaster in the Italian province of
Calabria appears to have been the most appalling that
has occurred in Europe within many years. Seismic
disturbances have been unusually frequent recently,

; In a local court a wife testified that during three
years the money she received from her husband for the
support of the family was at the rate of $2.10 a year,

know that the brute is a recent arrival in Los Angeles.
An astonishing number of youthful criminals have
been arrested within the last few days. In some cases
boys barely in their "teens" have been found guilty of
perpetrating robberies worthy of expert criminals. The
yellow newspaper school of crime evidently is in thriv

The Japanese are proud of their adaptation to Amer
ican ways. They have cause to feel that they have suc
ceeded, in view of those reports of rioting and disorder.
The news from Tokio and Kobe reads like the kind we
are so accustomed to getting from Chicago and San
Francisco.
All the "knockers" are represented; probably, in the
754 votes polled in opposition to the water project. The
feeling of certainty that the election would be entirely
one-sided made the total vote light as compared with
the figures in a general election. But if there had been
apy reasonable doubt about the outcome the affirmative
vote would have been, doubled.
: The record" of the Examiner In the water issue
makeß the most contemptible showing ever presented
in the history of Los Angeles journalism. Beginning
with the fool belief that it could defeat the Owens val-
ley proposition and thereby pose as a mighty power in
Los Angeles, it opened its yellow popgun battery with
'jn attack on every person and everything pertaining
to^he project. It accused the officials of the water
departfo^ent of playing a game of self-interest, de
nounced project as impracticable, attempted to
show that fee proposed water supply is impure and
raised a genertSj outcry of opposition. But suddenly
there was a Jolt »-Cd a flop. The intimation of leading
business men that tUiey would no longer countenance
Biich flagrant attacksx upon the best Interests of Los
Angeles brought fromV New York. a peremptory order
meaning this: "Flop, Md do It p. d. q." Bah, what a
stench in the nostrils tqat yellow iaiuidlce Is!
LOS ANGELES HERALDi SATURDAY MORNING,. SEPTEMBER 9, isof. .
THE "STAND TOGETHER" HABIT
The most notable characteristic of the people of
/ Los Angeles, as viewed by outsiders, was exhibited in
all Its glory.iri connection with the water bond election.
It is the "stand together" peculiarity. Never before was
it exhibited with greater earnestness and determination.
Although it always is in evidence when the interests
of the community are at stake, the main position on the
water question was more intense than heretofore be
cause the issue was the most important in the city's
history.
Los Angeles is a unit, practically, on this question
as it is on all other questions that involve the progress
of the city. As "the exception proves the rule," the
small adverse vote on the proposition only brought out
ln.stronger light the splendid spectacle of public unity
In behalf of the' present and prospective interests of Los
Angeles. *'" " J "'"!'*! v
That spectacle of a practically unanimous vote for
the greater water system Bpeaks volumes for the city's
future. It gives notice "to all whom it may concern"
that this community will tolerate no movement aimed
to check its unparalleled growth and prosperity. And
it gives particular notice to such snakes in the grass
as the yellow peril imported from New York, in the
guise of a newspaper, that this is not a healthful habitat
for a knocker who would Injure Los Angeles for the
sake of subserving political or personal Interests.
To the scores of thousands in the east who are
closely watching the evolution of Los Angeles, this last
exhibition of the "stand together" principle will be evi
dence enough of future adhesion in all matters affecting
the city's Interests. Those people far away win be
more strongly attracted than before by the splendid
spirit of determination manifested in undertaking a
project so formidable as the one Just assumed. To the
attractions of climate and natural beauty there is
added, in the minds of people abroad, admiration
for the pluck and shoulder-to-shoulder courage that
characterizes this community, and which have Just been
so signally displayed.
And to the smaller number of observers in the north
land who are inclined to "knock" Los Angeles, the rec
ord of the election on Thursday, is especially commend
ed. Those figures attest a fact which The Herald fre
quently has pointed out In a friendly way, for the
guidance of northern communities. That is the point
aforesaid that the citizens of Los Angeles always have
and always will "stick together" tighter than sheets
of fly paper when the growth and glory of their city are
involved.
There is enough food for thought In the election
figures of last Thursday to keep all the Los Angeles
knockers, at home and abroad, ruminating in the
months, ahead.
MORE CRITICISM OF LOS ANGELES
It is an aphorism that "our best friends are those
who tell us of our faults," and all recognize how help
ful it would be if some power the gift would give us
"to see ourselves as others see 'us." Honest and good
natured criticism always should be welcomed rather
than condemned. Even such censorious writers as at
times come from Europe and "write up" America and
its people afford some useful gleanings from their har
vest.
Probably there is not another city in the United
States that Is so exhaustively written up, by all sorts of
Vpec-pl*an4 in-fivery variety oJ-.BiyleL,as;is Los Angeles.
Almost invariably the efforts are " commendatory, but
there is enough of caustic criticism to give spice and
flavor to the standard dish. Just now there happens to
'be*ln i?als ! ffi£ observations' of "a tourist from' Missouri,
expressed in the columns of the Marshall Progress.
He says:
Here in Los Angeles (city of angels), the streets are
bordered with grass and flower plats, the lawns are set
with semi-tropical plants of great variety and the homes
are very attractive; the city glistens In almost perpetual
sunlight, which seems so very bright, while the distant
mountains veiled in tints of azure and purple make a splen
did framing. The city has an estimated population of 200,000;
has skyscraper buildings, handsome churches, many theaters
and open concert parks (for the people love amusement),
and the best electric street car system in all the country
east or west, extending twenty miles to the coast towns on
the south and west and fifteen miles to suburban villages
north and east.
But from that alluring picture the man from Mis
souri turns sharply to this one:
My experience leads me to think the climate is not good
for continuous residence; there iB so little difference in
temperature between summer and winter, and the warm air
is very enervating. . . . The people seem lazy and
languid and move about In a leisurely way.
"Lazy and languid" — doesn|'t that Jar you? Again,
"So many people are working for a bare living that the
chances of success for the average man are very slim."
But the critic rather inconsistently follows the above
observations by citing examples of old friends from
Missouri who are prospering here.
; As a matter of fact, there are thousands of native
Missourlans, now residents of the city and county of
Los Angeles, who are examples of prosperity and hap
piness. Many of. the wealthiest and most prominent
citizens of Los Angeles are natives of "old Missouri."
The visitor from Marshall evidently has taken only
a cursory view of Los Angeles. He is likely to come
again, however, as first visitors usually do. And It is
not improbable that he will be numbered, ere long,
among the thousands of thriving citizens who turned
their backs on Missouri and struck out for the Golden
state.
HONOR TO WHOM DUE
The same energetic push that has made the water
project a certainty will be in evidence throughout the
work of construction. No grass will grow under the
feet of the officials who. are charged with the prosecu
tion of the work. All recognize the importance of mak
ing a practical start without the needless loss of a day.
Plenty of water is assured but a vast undertaking must
be consummated before the water is on tap in Los
Angeles.
Fortunately for the people of this city the big Job
is in the hands of men in whom all have implicit con
fidence. Both the construction and the financial fea
tures of the -work will be In the control of faithful and
competent officials. There will be nothing of experi
mental character in the matter, as the men in the
breach have abundantly proved their capability for the
new undertaking. That they will serve the city as
satisfactorily in the future as they have in the past is
unquestionable.
And now that those officials are about to take up the
second feature of the water proposition, having won
the admiration of the community for their success
In the preliminary part, it is only Just to make acknowl
edgment of the inestimable service they already have
rendered. All Citizens realize the sense of public ob
ligation for what has been done in the first stage of the
water proposition and all will be ready to unite in sup
porting the faithful public servants in the great work
now confronting them.
James J. Hill, the Great Northern railway magnate,
aaya "the Panama canal is being built for some Other
countries' ships." He must mean airships.
ADMISSION DA V AND WHY
CALIFORNIA CELEBRATES IT
Peculiar Circumstances Governed Its Creation as a State-
Had an Organic Existence Before It Obtained State
hood—Born Amid Stirring Events ; .
LIONEL A. SHELDON
Ex.Qovernor of New Mexico and Ex. Congressman From. .California
None of the forty-five states of the
Union except California has adopted
the custom of celebrating the annl- 1
versary of admission and making it a
legal holiday. The question arises why
California does this and other states
do not.
In all of the states there Is more or
less local sympathy and state pride,
but It Is not these alone that cause
California to do what is so conspic
uously ' exceptional. . The reasons are
found In the' circumstances and condi
tions under which statehood was
achieved here. It may be worth the
while to give these, therefore, a mo
ment's consideration.
California was the first state to be
admitted on the Pacific coast.and to be
carved out of the Immense territory
then recently acquired from Mexico.
This was accomplished In quick time;
only about two years elapsed after
the cession was made. Territorial
magnitude and population at once
made It the leading cummonwealth on
one ocean as New York is on the
other.
Another fact Is peculiar In her case.
The original thirteen states did not
pass through the process of admission,
as they became members through their
own volition and action by simply as
senting to the federal constitution.
Maine was cut off from Massachusetts,
Vermont maintained for a time a sort
of Independence by herself, though both
New Hampshire and New York claimed
Jurisdiction till 1791. West Virginia
was taken from old Virglnla.andTexas
as an Independent nation became a
state of the union by Joint resolution
of the legislatures of both countries.
These seventeen states were never
under the territorial tutelage of the
general government.
All the other states were, except Cal
ifornia. They were given organic acts
before they could exercise the powers
of local government and were only per
mitted to form state governments
through enabling' acts of Congress.
Never a Territory
California was never under territorial
tutelage after her cession to the United
States. In her case there was neither
an organic nor an enabling act. The
people elected a convention, adopted
the constitution it framed, chose and
Installed a legislature and state of
ficers In the assertion of the original
right of sovereignty that inheres in
the people. In this the action of tha
people of California was radical as
well as exceptional.
More than this, the application of
.California for statehood was when the
slavery issue was under the bitterest
discussion. Since 1820 it had been the
policy to admit states In pairs, one free
and the other slave. There was no
territory to be brought forward to pair
with California. She had come with
a free constitution and admission
would give preponderance to the free
states in the senate, in which body it
had been the policy to keep the balance
even.
The question of dividing the state
was more than once mooted, the idea
being a state on the south that would
be opened to slavery. On account of
the Immense size of California it did
not seem objectionable to make two
states of her territory, and it was pro
vided by the constitution that a di
vision might take place, not for the
sake of providing a state for slavery,
but as a matter of convenience In gov
ernment; and also that the Pacific
coast might have more power and In
fluence In the senate. The admission
of California, giving the free states a
preponderance in the senate, was an
Important step toward ultimately mak
ing the whole nation free. It may be
said to have been the turning point of
the tide in that direction.
Should Study It
It would be interesting and Instruc
tive to young Callfornlans today to
make a study of the speeches in the
senate, especially while California's
application for statehood was pending.
There were then giants in the senate.
California passed through an ordeal
of discussion that no other aspirant to
statehood experienced, except possibly
Missouri. It was not In respect to her
alone, but concerning other measures
more or less cognate to the slavery
question, one of which was the fugi
tive slave law. Including the admis

slonof California there were five meas
ures that were bones of contention.
As hna been said, there were then
giants In the senate— Webster, Clay,
Calhoun and Benton. Chase, Seward
and Sumner shone eminently as orators
on the anti-slavery side. That session
of congress was the longest In our his
tory except one. In no session were so
many great speeches delivered. The
one that created the most attention
was that by Senator Benton of Mis
souri on the "Omnibus Bill," which
wns a bill that put together the five
measures mentioned. The speech only
fell short of Webster's reply to Hayne.
It was replete with anrument against
combination legislation, with classical j
illustrations and crushing sarcasm. |
Benton and Clay had been strenuous
opponents" during the administrations
of President Jackson. Clay, who was
always a compromiser, procured the
appointment of ft committee which
prepared and reported the bill embody
ing the five measures. . Benton at
tacked the bill, especially because the
purpose was to coerce members to vote
for measures they were opposed to In
order to get others they favored. Clay's
position as chairman of the committee
made him the chief target.
The night the committee was author
ized Clay made a speech of triumph.
Benton In opening his speech against
the "Omnibus Bill" said:
"When the senator from Kentucky
was here before he was accustomed to
treat the country to dishes of distress.
Since his return, after an absence of
some years, he has resorted to his for
mer habit. He now pictures the coun
try as suffering from fierce, gaping
wounds, represented by the five fingers
of his right hand, and If the senator
had more fingers the country would
have more gaping wounds."
Reply to Clay
Alluding to Clay's speech the night
the committee was appointed, he said:
"The senator was exceedingly happy
that night. He congratulated the sen
ate, the country and himself on the ap
pointment of the committee, six from
the north, six from the south, and he
Installed as chairman de una medle
tate."
Then he quoted from Lucan on the
apotheosis of a Roman emperor:
"Press not too much on any part the
sphere;
Hard were the task thy weight divine to
bear.
O'er the mid orb more equal shalt thou
rise,
And with a Juster balance fix the
.. skies.", ,
The "Omnibus Bill" was defeated,
which relieved the California bill from
the danger of being dragged down by
the others. All the five measures
were finally passed, California being
the first.
California came into the union be
fore the country had a glimpse of
what the Pacific coast was destined
to be. In these days we are able to
forecast the future. It Is now more
fully realized than hitherto that what
Berkeley said several centeries ago was
prophetic. Today, California occupies
a position in regard to the earth's
progress second to no part of America
or of the world. The growth of her
present and future greatness had Its
Inclplency In her triumph In achieving
statehood and under circumstances
original and unique.

WOULD LET CITIZENS BUY
Suggestion Made by Angeleno Regard.
Ing Sale of Bonds
Editor Herald: Now that the bonds
have carried by such an overwhelming 1
majority I have a suggestion to make,
and that Is that the citizens be given a
chance to buy them if it can be done
legally. Subscriptions can be begun
at once, the bonds to be delivered as
soon as they are ready, i If at that time.
all are not subscribed, It will be time
enough to offer them- to the banks;;
but I am confident that the issue will
be oversubscribed. In which case the
smallest subscriptions should be filled
first. This will be a new departure
here, but It Is the rule in France where
It has been found to work well. I am
certain that there are thousands of per
sons in this town who will prefer this
form of investment to that of having
their savings lying idle in the banks
and old stockings. Very sincerely,
CITIZEN.
TWO GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Editor Herald: Being interested, to
gether with all "good" citizens in the
water proposition, I would like to make
a suggestion or two. If, as I saw
stated, it will be necessary to "raise"
the water at least once in its Journey
from the Owens valley to the city, the>
expense will be considerable. Now, can
that expense not be materially reduced
by getting power from some of the
mountain streams, as well as from the
fall of the water Itself after leaving the
reservoir?
Furthermore, it seems to me that th*
city can derive an immense amount of
power from the water as it nears the
city by putting In turbine wheels in
many places, which will not foul the
water, and thus generate enough elec
tricity to light the city, besides having
power for other purposes. W. L. C.
