OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN
THE morning sun that wakes to life
the 38,500 registered school chil
dren of Los Angela today looks
down on the safest warrant the city
has for future prosperity, and though
we have the very cream of opportunity
and achievement to our credit as valu
able assets the great possibilities locked
up in the hearts and lives of these
little people are, after all, the most
valuable asset of all.
The homes of Los Angeles are her
chief glory, and though gold and silver
shall roll up illimitable wealth In our
banks and the products of our semi
tropic lands may freight ships on all
oceans till we can claim supremacy
over all the world beside, still. If our
homes are not the havens of rest and
education and the abiding places of
all manly and womanly virtues, our
riches must be like the fabled fruit of
the Dead sea — beautiful to look on but
ashes at the core.
Knowing these things to be true, the
men of action whose herculean and un
selfish labors have made Los Angeles
what it is have provided schools and
colleges and necessary appliances and
appurtenances to fit this great army
of embryo men and women for the
coming battle of life, and the most
pleasing — as promising — sight of our
municipal exhibition this beautiful day
is the numerous columns of voluble,
chattering, smiling youth of both sexes,
exuberant of health and noise, as they
wend their ways to school.
Blight, in the form of graft, may
never touch this fountain of hope and
joy, and while we have here and there
the common failings of human ma
chinery in our metropolitan makeup it
is the pride and boast of Los Angeles
that we have one of the best school
equipments In the country and 38,500
of the most beautiful and dutiful chil
dren in all the wide world.
FAIR DIPSOMANIACS
ACCORDING to Rev. Dr. Frederick
R. Hopkins of the Pilgrim Con
gregational church, Chicago, the
genial gin rickey has supplanted the
nut sundae, and ice cream soda is
shelved for the prettier but less in
ocuous Martini cocktail in the hearts
of club women of that vicinity.
According to his assertions, Demon
Rum has Cupid tied to a tree in the
city by the saltless sea. The reverend
gentleman is accused of seeking the
Bpotlight, and it's a safe guess he has
found it. His sermons on the subject
have brought out a storm of criticism
from the leaders among clubwomen of
Chicago, but Mrs. Elizabeth A. Reeds,
an author and leader among the brainy
women of Illinois, comes to the sup
port of the daring pulpiteer. She says:
"Women do drink in alarming num
bers, and if any woman doubts the
truth of this statement let her visit
any of the fashionable downtown cafes
and restaurants of an evening. And
the patrons are not by any means the
lower class of society. I have not, ex
cept on one or two occasions, seen
¦women intoxicated, but Dr. Hopkins
has not said anything upon drunken
ness among women, but that they do
drink intoxicating liquors in public.
"Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch,
in her position of a justice of the peace,
must know this. Women engaged in
philanthropic work do know it, and
other women should know It before
they assume the role of critics. I have
been in some of the finest homes in
Chicago where wine was served at the
table, though I always have left mine
untouched.
"Even if a woman is moderate In her
drinking, there Is always the tempta
tion for the weaker members of her
sex to be less so. And if a woman
drinks, can she complain if some night
her husband comes home staggering
when she herself has set an example,
even if it be a mild one? Can she
drink and command her children not
to do so? And there always is the
temptation to go beyond moderation,
and It must be recognized.
"Ir I were in Dr. Hopkins' place I
not only should warn women against
the habit of drinking but would include
as wellnigh as dangerous the growing
cigarette habit among members of the
sex. I know also that this habit ex
ists and is growing, though I suppose
I shall be called a 'reformer,' a 'radi
cal' and other names for speaking
of it."
Prominent clubwomen, on the other
hand, are hurling jeremiads at the
head of the parson and daring him to
make public the names of the fashion
able dipsomaniac whom he specified.
The minister, deeming discretion the
better part of valor, cleverly sidesteps
tbe demand, decliining, he says, to
blacken the clubwoman's character.
Meanwhile, as the Tom and Jerry sea
son approaches, the war wsxes warm,
and before it ends it Is safe to nay the
Rev. Frederick R, Hopkins will know
iR has been in a battle.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 23, 1907
TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE
THE striking telegraphers are re
ported to have made overtures to
President Roosevelt to take part
in the work of bringing about the arbi
tration of differences between thrm and
the two telegraph companies, and when
the fact was made known to General
Superintendent Brooks of the "Western
Union company he is reported as
saying:
"We have all the men we desire, and
there Is no need for us to seek to
secure the services of the men who left
the employ of the company. Further
more, we will never again tolerate the
conditions that existed before the
strike. The action of the union opera
tors before the strike, in dPllberately
interfering with the business of the
company, and In abusing those who
failed to join their organization, will
never occur again in the operating
rooms of the Western Union Telegraph
company. There are 175 operators who
were employed In this city by this
company prior to the strike who will
never again secure work with the com
pany. They were all trouble makers."
If Superintendent Brooks said thef?e
things, especially the blacklist sen
tence, he has done more to help the
striking men to the good will of the
public than any act of their own could
have done. It is but a few days since
the National Association of Manufac
turers appeared In these columns
through its president and said:
"In every Instance In which I have
heard the blacklist mentioned by mem
bers of the National Association of
Manufacturers, or by employers of any
sort or In any place, it was condemned
as a cowardly oppression of the weak
by the strong. For this practice no
defense, no apology, has ever been of
fered or ever car. be offered which
Is worth a moment's considera
tion. To this statement there are
no exceptions, no reservations, no lim
itations. The question of the blacklist
has only one side, and that side Is
base."
The statement was and Is so true, so
filled with the spirit of tolerance and
forbearance that The Herald gave to it
unusual editorial space in helpful com
ment, and now would call the careful
attention of Superintendent Brooks and
all men who employ labor to Its words
and their meaning.
The blacklist and the boycott stand
out In the history of labor-capital
troubles as the newer proof that two
wrongs cannot make a right, and as
certain Indicators that both elements
have a deadline of action over which
public opinion will not follow. How
arbitrary, even tyrannous, are these
words from Vice President Nally of the
Postal Telegraph Cable company. In
the light of the foregoing utterance of
representative employers of labor:
"There is not the slightest ground for
the report that we are to arbitrate with
the strikers. Notify all offices and
asure all that there will be no compro
mise, and to pay no heed to reports to
the contrary."
The "blacklist" deliverance of Mr.
Brooks, and the arbitrary refusal to
discuss the matter in issue by Vice
President Nally give ringing force to
the charges of unfair dealing made
against both corporations by the teleg
raphers, and serve to condemn the
assumed attitude of tolerance toward
striking labor as being insincere and
open to the charge of hypocrisy. I{
these men after due hearing can be
made to see they erred why not engage
them? Why not hear them that it may
be determined who Is right and who Is
wrong? The Idle boasts of Injudicious
Individual strikers should not weigh in
the minds of men of large mental
caliber against the rights or claims of
labor as a whole.
The striking telegraphers have been
remarkably peaceful and law-abiding,
and have won a large share of popular
good will, and the people believe these
men should have their day in court that
It may be known beyond doubt just
what the merits of both sides are. The
people are vastly more concerned for a
settlement than either warring faction
seems to be, and something must be
done to meet that general demand.
Blacklists and arbitrary rulings will
not suffice to still public clamor for a
speedy and lasting settlement of this
hurtful labor trouble.
JAPANESE EXCLUSION
OUT of the mire of conflict on the
Japanese exclusion troubles in
Canada one thing: is now made
clear to all the world. In the fact that
the premier of Canada himself places
the benefits of foreign trade above the
welfare of the producing class which
makes that trade possible. In answer
to a demand for immediate steps look
ing: to the abrogation of the existing
Japanese treaty, made by the dominion
trades and labor congress, Premier
Laurier replied:
"Alphonse Vervlle, M. P., president
Trades and Labor council, Winnipeg,
Man.: I have given due consideration
to your request that Immediate steps
be taken to terminate the treaty with
Japan. I would observe that this treaty
when brought into existence some fif
teen years ago did not apply to Canada
and that some few years ago, in re
sponse to the repeated expression of
public opinion and with a view of af
fording to Canadian producers an op
portunity of taking their share of the
growing Japanese trade, the Canadian
government became a party to this
treaty and that it was unanimously
ratified by the Canadian parliament.
The treaty has proved of great advan
tage and our trade with Japan under
it has been considerably increased."
This gives the true cause of the re
cent uprising in Canada, which is that
the people, desperate before the fact of
cheap labor, see no means of relief in
legal measures, and turn to riotous
demonstration to force an issue.
That the Canadian Indorsement of
the Imperial policy was unanimous is
true, in one sense, but the manipula
tions of policy and power that made it
go are sore spots to the people, who
were not considered at all in the
matter.
Recent developments in British Alas
kan provinces provn how deeprooted is
the opposition to coolie Immigration,
and the end cannot bo said to be In
sight till the federal power of Canada
abrogates or recalls aetlon on the ex
isting treaty, and frees the people from
the curse of cheap alien labor.
In telling contrast with immigration
to American countries is the exclusion
law still regnant in Japan against
white men everywhere, but In so-called
treaty or residential districts. Such a
law, made effective In 1899 and. still in
force, forbids Europeans, Americans or
Chinese from laboring, fishing, mining,
manufacturing or other form of in
dustry, and practically Inflicts on for
eigners the same checks of which they
complain In America. Treaty stipula
tions alter this law for Englishmen,
but It is in force against citizens of
this country. If It were inviting to
capital to exploit Japan as Japanese
are now exploiting the- several fields of
opportunity in America, the reception
of our people in Japan would be far
less gentle than is the reception of
Japanese here.
It is certain to come — by fair means
or foul — that exclusion laws to protect
labor in all North America must be
passed, or — again by fair means or foul
— the people will arise and compel their
passage and enforcement, for after all
Is said and dona the one great solvent of
all the trouble Is to keep Asiatics of all
countries out of American territory and
away from conflict and competition
with our worklngmen.
MONSTROUS WRONG
THE extraordinary earnings—steal
ings rather — rolled up by the sev
eral subsidiary concerns which go
to make the Standard Oil monopoly as
tound the people who looked for great
sums, but dared not go to the limit
reached by the facts. In some cases
a thousand per cent in profits was
made, and when the mind travels back
over the millions of bye roads over
which this tremendous treasure passed
it finds in the examination that the
very poor and very needy of all the
masses are they who made up the sum
from slender means or starvation
wages. Normal manhood feels the
spur of a just indignation at thought
of this and demands the fullest repar
ation by these leagued devils who have
coined wealth from the hovels, sheds
and garrets that house millions of our
poorest people and dared to hold up
their heads among good-hearted and
honest men. Some wrongs are so glar
ing and mean as to outstrip honest
indignation and leave the heart a prey
to anger, and this wholesale robbery
of the very poor under the mask of
lawful business is one of them.
John D. Rockefeller, during his peri
odical visits to the University of Chi
cago, sat with President Harper on the
rostrum of the chapel while a thou
sand young men and women were pres
ent, intent on morning prayer. Within
gunshot of him, in any direction, were
thousands of men, women and chil
dren, who in the fierce war for life, dug
food from garbage cans and mar
ket receptacles and backyard premises
— anywhere and everywhere a morsel
might be had to stay life, and they
managed to live while the sun was
over the horizon, but when darkness
came even these social outcasts must
procure the ten cents in money neces
sary to pay the tax he represented on
them, to get oil to see the misery of
the places they called home. In the
chapel, where men hope God is, in
spirit, this man sat and heard the law
of love expounded; while in the world
outside, where men have come to know
God really is, with the deserving poor
and needy, he was responsible for a
sale meaner than that of Judas, and
far more cruel, in that Judas, seeing
his crime, repented— Rockefeller never
repents.
It is idle to speculate on the legal
outcome of this monstrous wrong on
a whole nation, but it holds a lesson
which the American people must learn
sooner or later if they would be free
from similar wrongs; and it is that
unlimited money gives any man or
men unlimited power, and that while
the rights of property are and should
be sacred some legal bulwark is neces
sary to protect the people from ill-got
ten wealth, so fabulous in measure as
to threaten the very laws which made
Its attainment possible, and which even
now has a standing that challenges
the government itself. The prompt de
velopment of the requisite measures
and the men to carry them out is the
problem of the hour.
Elihu Root, having returned from two
months' training at Muldoon's farm,
where champagne-leached millionaires
are rejuvenerated, will give his coun
try three days of his valuable services,
draw his pay and start on a long Junket
to Mexico. Verily some public offices
are public snaps.
Now they have accused a dead man
of the afifiasMnatlon of Goebel in Ken
tucky. The Taylor-Powers defense has
made a fair case, but the relatives of
the alleged murderer threaten to prove
an alibi for Igo.
"The older men are retiring from the
management of Standard Oil affairs,"
says a recent news item, but it's a safe
bet that the telephone and telegraph
wires, from their respective headquar
ters, are just as busy as formerly.
Wonder if that San Pedro plumber
who was nearly frozen to death while
inspecting an ice plant sent himself a
bill of 90 cents per hour for thawing
out his own "pipes," just through force
of habit.
In support of his assertion that a
certain clubwoman was intoxicated, a
Chicago parson declares the fair tippler
offered to pay her dues three times.
Pretty strong evidence!
Willlam G. Rockefeller has disap
peared again, and just when officers
were seeking to serve a subpoena on
him. Are the other members of the
family just as smooth as oily John?
TOURISTS
ARE COMING
FALL SEASON OPENS AND RUSH
BEGINS
TRAINLOADS REACH LOS AN.
GELEB DAILY
Hotel Men Prepare for Season That
They Declare Will Break All
Former Records for
Traffic
Yesterday was the first day of tho fall
season, and with that in mind hotel men
all over Southern California, but particu
larly those of Los Angoles, arc making
elaboiutc preparations for the coming
tourists. x f course there are preparations
made each year, but it is more particu
larly the case now as the managers of the
various hostelrles are expecting a record
breaking season. i
Several of the hotels have enlarged thejr
lobbies or some some similar Important
changes. The Van Nuys hns improved u\;
office. Now the new office is completed
and yesterday It was occupied for the flist
time. It Is beautifully designed in colored
marble and polished oak, and adds ma
terially to the grace and distinction jf the
magnificent lobby.
The Alexandria has done little In the
way of making new fixtures or radical
changes. Said Mr. Whltmore, the mana
ger: "Judging from the manner In which
our register is constantly being crowded
we believe that if matters continue at this
rate we will have the most successful
tourist season in the history of Los Ange
les. This city is assuming more and more
of a cosmopolitan character, and the
many conventions which have been held
here during the last several months add
not a little to the national reputation Loa
Angeles is acquiring as a resort.
"There Is nothing to deter the represen
tative tourist of this country from spend
ing the winter season In this city in pref
erence to a_ season In Europe. That
was the old way. It Is losing Its value,
however, as a fad, and California is
growing every year in recognition of its
appropriate importance as a resort."
Looking over the registers of the vari
ous hotels the truth of Mr. Whltmores
wo*iJs Is apparent. It is plainly evident
from a commercial point of view alone
that the traveling man's visits to this
city are growing more numerous each
year.
Fifteen Thousand This Month
Already trainloads of tourists are ar
riving daily. In the last month more than
15,000 people were extended the courtesies
of this city.
The hotels have had their share of this
vast influx and the registers testify to it.
The Westminster has been the great at
traction for the automobile tourists.
From all over the country men and wo
men are registering at the hotels. From
Maine to Florida and from Washington
to the lowest southern point of this state
tourists are here. And that is not all.
Some are registered from Russia and Ger
many, Mexico and Egypt.
C. C. Loomis, co-manager of the Ange
lus with his brother, Harry Loomis, also
has his views of the coming tourist sen
son. Yesterday he remarked: "If busi
ness conditions continue as they have been
in the past two months, in spite of the
dullness that a summer season usually en
tails, I should venture to state that the
coming tourist season will be a record
breaker. There were a number of ln-

Btances last winter when we were so
crowded that we were forced to turn
guests away. Thla year we have arranged
matters so that we are prepared to ac
commodate a much larger number of tour
ists than last year. We have made no
radical Improvements, but the rooms have
been somewhat differently arranged that
we can accommodate a greater number of
guests. I think each year is bringing mora
and more tourißts to thin country, and ho
tfl men as such are not regretting the
fact."
The other hotels, notably the I,anker
shim, are spending considerable time and
much more money to "see their wny
through" for the winter season, as HI
Alden of the Nadeau says.
Mr. Larm of the Lankershim has been
with the French Lick Springs hotel and
the Auditorium Annex of Chicago and
knows what a tourist season la. ' Yester
day he said: "It would seem almost ridicu
lous to say that we were crowded during
the summer season, but It Is nevertheless
the case. Each day has brought more
guests than the other until now the hotel
Is fairly filled. It is not probable that
there will be any rush of tourists to Cali
fornia before the middle part of roxt
month, but business is highly satisfactory
as it is. Hotel men do not call this the
beginning of the tourist season, although
the railroad men are estimating the daily
influx of easterners by the thousands. As
far as I am concerned the tourist season
has begun and I am ready for it."
John S. Mitchell, manager of the Hollcn
beck. seoms to be little worried over the
situation of the oncoming tourist rush.
"We have had no trouble so far, and why
should be expect any this year? The
Hollenbeck is a large and well equipped
hotel and is capable of accommodating
all the guests any tourist season can
bring. I am prepared."
Los Angeles hotel managers are little
worried over the prospect of this winter.
If at all they are worried about how to
accommodate the record-breaking Influx.
U. S. C. LAW SCHOOL OPENS
WITH BIG ENROLLMENT
Faculty Is Increased and Successful
Term Is Looked for — Sixty
Enter In Freshman
Class
The law school of the University of
Southern California opens today. In
augurating what promises to be the most
successful year in the history of the col
lege. The faculty has been strengthened.
Several prominent attorneys will be in
structors in the different courses. Each
subject is under the supervision of spe
cialists.
Tho enrollment, judging from the appli
cations received by Secrciry Craig to
date, is estimated at one hundred and
forty, sxty of this number being freßh
men. A majority of the old students
will return to finish their courses.
Much Interest centers at the present
time in the annual student body elec
tions. The presidential contest especially
promises to be exciting.
C. N. Dickinson was unanimously elect
ed nominee of the "short hair" party,
representing the radical element, at the
caucus held last week. E. H. Allen will
head the "sorehead" ticket, signifying the
order of reformers and independents,
while the "long-hairs," following their
usual conservative custom, have not as
yet announced the result of their delib
