THE BOND ELECTION

bit itself It would die from blood pois
oning, se«ka to defrAt the bond election
and the highest Interest* of the city
becauftfl It Imagines that Mr. Hunting
ton may ar«t some good out of the eleo
tlon somewhere,, in the Bhapa of a
nrtdga. • '
The editor of Th« Herald never saw
Mr. Hunt lngtnn, doesn't know him, and
never had any communication with or
from him, or any of hl« agents. But
The Herald, after a careful Inquiry into
all the facts of the case, la emphatic
In Its indorsement of the -whole bond
proposition, on which the election wilt
be held next Thursday — unless the
council shall decide to postpone the
date.
Under the plan proposed,' one of the
most economical Improvements the city
ran make will be the building of the
bridge connecting Buena Vista street
with Downey avenue and PasAdena
avenue and the widening of Buena
Vlnta to conform to Broadway. This
Improvement will connect Buena Vista,
Downey and Pasadena by one bridge
and two approaches on the north. The
estimated cost Is $270,000, of which sum
the Lob Angeles railway has agreed to
pay $90,000, and the Southern Pacific
will par $10,000 and donate to the city
twenty feet of property along Buena
Vista, from Bishop street to the river,
a distance of half a mile, making a
safe and direct route and avoiding all
surface crossings.
The Herald is advised by citizens of
the north side that the proposition to
build this bridge in this particular way
did not emanate from Mr. Huntingdon,
but from the citizens themselves, who
desired his participation In the enter
prise in order to save as much expense
as possible. It is, therefore, both silly
and dangerous on the part of any news
paper or person to argue that because
the Los Angeles railway Is to be con
ceded the right to run over the bridge
the bridge should not be built— cave
and alone at the entire cost of Mr.
Hunting-ton, who has only a partnership
Interest In having the bridge.
Some people are so constituted that
they want to heave a brick at any rich
man merely because he is rich. It is
the acme of stupidity and studied self
ishness.
The only point in the Downey avenue
bridge question is that the people want
the bridge, and by an agreed combina
tion with Mr. Huntlngton they can get
this necessity constructed at minimum
cost. It will be a conspicuous and is a
badly needed improvement — one, which
the poor people require, much more
than does Mr. Huntlngton. .-, ,;•" '•
Bonds for other bridge*, >fbr- sewers,
for small parks, and for enlarged ser
vice on the part of the police and fire
departments, as provided In the call
for the election, call for no explanation.
They are all worthy In purpose, and
their accomplishment -will mean much
for the future of Los Angeles. This
city is just on the point of Jumping for
ward Into great proportions. Business
is developing at an unprecedented rate
and all property is Increasing in value.
We must, as Secretary Shaw says,
"build for the future,. build big," and
build quickly. Vote yes on the bond
proposition.
BASIC CAUSE OF CRIME
An Incidental result of the San Fran
cisco calamity affords a subject for
deep thought in all American com
munities. That Is the radical change
wrought by destruction of the liquor
traffic. Before the calamity San Fran
cisco was known as the most "wide
open" city on the continent in re
spect to liquor selling. It was also
known as a city nearly or quite un
paralleled for the natural results of
such fredom in the liquor trade— vice,
immorality and crime.
But note the change as pointed out
now by the better element of the San
Francisco press. Since the calamity,
says the Chronicle, "the city has been
absolutely Iree from disorder and vir
tually free from crimes of violence.
There have been no street brawls, no
drunken brute has beaten his wife, no
gamblers have murdered one another
in low resorts. Except for some deal-
Ings with sneak thieves the occupa
tion of the police courts is gone."
This astonishing result' Is attributable
solely, to the rigorous enforcement, un
der military discipline, of orders pro
hibiting the sale of liquors. And this
situation in San Francisco Is brought
out in bolder relief by contrast with
Oakland, the sister city across the bay,
that always has sharply criticised San
Francisco's bad habits. Alluding to
the present peaceful situation in the
big city, the Chronicle says: "We are
promised a continuance of this peace
ful condition for a considerable time
to come, save only as drunken men
may drift over from Oakland, where
the authorities have been so reckless
as to allow saloons to open." And
then ■ the suggestive conclusion, "We
may be compelled to renew the quar
antine against Oakland."
It is an obvious lesson that this ex
perience of San Francisco teaches to
other cities. The extent of vice, crime
and attendant evils in a community
depends, In a great measure, upon the
degree of restraint upon the sale of
intoxicants. On this point the Chronicle
goes to the length of alluding to the
marvelous change noted as an "abso
lute demonstration that the saloons are
responsible for all crimes of violence."
Upon that basis the Chronicle demands
that "whenever the saloons • shall be
allowed to reopen in this city, their
license fees be fixed at a rate which
will support the police department."
The saloon license fee in San Fran
cisco was $7 a month— sßl a year— prior
to the calamity. That is but little more
than 10 per cent of the cost to Los
Angeles saloon keepers. In the last
election the question of increasing, the
license tax on saloons was submitted
to tin) voter* of Ban Francisco, and
was -promptly voted down.
. It will be urged by our friends, the
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1906. '
prohlbltlonlKts, thflt If absolute pro
hibition Accomplished *r> much for Ban
Francisco during this period, why not
eontlnu* It for nil tlm«?
A prripar question, and one easily
unswerpd. Prohibition In Ban Fran
cisco hun heen «nforferl flt the point
of th» bayonet. Th« time is rapidly
coming when It rAnnrit b« enforced.
Prohibition in a 'dream. A splendid
and beautiful dream, no doubt, but
still a dream, j The only sane thing to
do, tvhlle the opportunity in present,
in to seise the situation nn<l fix the
Ilcenaa nn high that regulation of the
traffic will b« possible. Under a sys
tem of regulation tho saloon Influence
can be vastly minimised. And that's
the course which San Francisco pro
poses to pursue.
A HAPPY HOME TRUST
Virginia Otis In today's florald, makes
the suggestion that the married women
at once form a trust or combination In
the interest of happy homes, to the end
that women may be urged to do their
full chare In the work of perfecting the
home llfp and that divorce courts may
eventually be abolished.
That's a trust that's worth while. And
for the reason that one cause of our
national unrest and widespread dissi
pation in the fact that so many homes
are not happy.
The fault, however, lies with both
men - and women, jln some Instances
the. husbands are bad-tempered, , un
reasonable, dictatorial and wholly sel
fish, addressing their wives with less
consideration than, they would their
favorite dog or horse. In other In
stances the wives neglect the beautify
ing of their home and refuse to do those
household duties which the very nature
of marriage demands from them. There
are perhaps as many vain, Idle women
as there are selfish and brutal men.
There are too many women who want
to begin life where their fathers and
mothers left off, neglectful of the fact
that father and mother denied them
selves and violated all the union rules
for half a century before they got a
competence or a roof over their heads.
Too many men and women neglect
the great truth that life is what wo
make It. It can be happy or unhappy,
under any circumstances, as we may
determine. This is absolutely true and
doesn't admit of any argument. Pov
erty, sickness and death are relative
terms. Tou can be happy in the very
midst of them. There is too much gush
and twaddle poured out about the hap
piness of wealth and Idleness. There is,
In fact, less happiness In wealth than
In poverty, but in both cases everything
depends upon the man or the woman,
whether honest pleasure is rightfully
developed from the condition. (Wealth
plays so small a part In the happiness
of the world that It Is hardly worthy of
consideration.
The question Is: How shall we make
the- most and get the best out of life?
Do you think that the man who gives
his days and ntghts to the getting of
gain or to indulgence in pleasures is
answering the question properly? Of
course not.
Do you think that the woman who
neglects her household affairs, takes to
"literature" as a study, refuses to have
and rear children, and spends her hus
band's hard earned money In beautify
ing and adorning her body Is answering
the question? Not a bit of it.
The home life Is the only life. And
the only way In which to make it a
success is to do- as Virginia Otis says,
"bear and forbear," work plentifully
and cheerfully, go hand in hand
through the valleys and laugh at the
shadows.
Men and women were once bravo
enough to do these things, and do them
well. There Is a whole lot of the cow-,
ard In too many of our young men and
•women. They want pleasure at any
cost; dress and idleness at any ex
pense. That's the yellow streak that
once was not characteristic of the hu
man race. Love of ease Is a detestable
habit, and one of the worst things
about so-called socialism Is that it en
courages the hope of a state of per
petual idleness, wherein money will fall
from the trees, provisions from the
ravens and clothing from the skies.
Why. not let us be sensible, as of old?
Why not be brave and true— brave
mentally, morally and physically? Why
not reproduce In the present and future
generation some of those Spartan vir
tues of our fathers, mothers, grand
fathers and grandmothers who gave
their lives cheerfully for others— who
learned to make happy homes and build
Ideal characters at the expense of dress
and many pleasures; who lived and
loved without selfishness, and who,
when the end came, went down to
death with the smile of the hero and
the heroine— happy to the very last;
happy in the midst of all the poverty,
the sickness and the suffering through
-which they had passed, for the sake of
others.
You know we travel along this road
only once. "Yes," says the gay young
woman and the reckless young man,
"we live but once— let us live while we
do live." Which brings back the ques
tion—What is it to live? Happiness Is
all there is In the world and happiness
cannot be produced save by true love —
a love that patiently endures and
heroically works out the purposes of
existence to their noble ends. . Any
thing short of that Is crime, and. "the
wages of sin Is death."
"Live while we do live"— yes, but
live with a purpose, and that purpose
the happiness and love that come only
through the ideal home. ';. * •„. .
Hence, more power to Virginia Otla
and all her kind. She has caught the
glimmering of a great truth, a truth
that shall shine more and more till the
coming of that brighter day when
there shall be a crown of everlasting
glory to those who have lived right
eously and unselfishly; in fiod's happy
world.
Upon takjng a good view of England's
battleships, the sultan has changed his
mind as to .Egypt. Your modern bat

LOS ANGELES WOMAN SUGGESTS A HOME TRUST
How fn Maka Husbands Appreciate Their Wives and to Help Abolish
Divorce Courts
Written for ihn HernM.
I-OS ANOKLKS, May 12.— tt Is now
tlm« for the women of Lop Angeien to
form a (full *n strong that they will he
fibl« to put every divorce attorney out
of huAlnens.
There lias heen much fllMtuMlon of
lat« of th« divorce question In Los An

properly Administered, thAt would do

L*t tho women of this city form a
combination, no that every Idea but
home, and hApplnesn will for a time bo
put Aside. We must make our homos
a haven of rest, not a place merely to
eat and sleep. Tho greatest mistake
we mnke is to think that when n mnn
marries he must earn the home and
furnish all the good cheer and kindness
necessary to make and keep a happy
home. The cAses are few and far bo
tween, where if thei wife tried as hard
to piense n* tho sweetheart did, nho
could not Always have things her way.
For Instance, would she when her lover
was expected to lunch or dine wait
until he came nnd say:
"John, I wish you would go out nnd
Ket bread, meat, pie, cake, pickles,
choose," and whatever Is needed to
complete the meal?
No, indeed; as a lover he would come
to find the daintiest of meals prepared
for him. Such comforts, without doubt,
caused him to take a etep farther. Do
you think he would appreciate such
comforts less as a husband than as a
lover?
When a man marries he wants a
home, for nowadays it cannot bo said
he marries to reduce expenses.
"We must also remember that we are
not without faults. I have heard many
a wife rehearse the faults of her hus
band for the benefit of the public, but
very seldom, If ever, remember hearing
about her own faults. One's faults are
another's virtues. We must bear and
forbear and; learn to see ourselves as
others see us.
Many will say, ' "Oh, such' trifles
amount to nothing," but the tiniest
match may light a fire to destroy our
city. •

HIS FRENCH A BIT FAULTY
A certain university professor went
to Europe some years ago upon a
French liner. He was almost the only
passenger who could not speak French
fluently. As many others the professor
became seasick. Seasickness Is the
disease which makes you think you are
going to die and don't kill you. After a'
severe attack the professor was recov
ering. Mustering all the French then
at his command he asked the waiter
whom he summoned to his berth to
give him "a plate of soup and a chack
er." The waiter, with a look of horror,
threw up his hands and left the stale
room. He tried another with the same
result. Finally he tried the steward.
The latter listened patiently, shook his
head, then paused, nodded and after
a few minutes returned with the "plate
of soup and the cracker."
Some days afterward, walking on the
deck, the professor asked a friend
what had caused consternation among
the waiters at so simple a request.
"Wha did you say?" • , ■
The professor repeated his book
learned French.
His friend laughed heartily.
"Why, the waiters must have thought
that you. In delirium following seasick
ness, wished to commit suicide. The
word you used for cracker meant fire
cracker or bomb."— Columbia Herald.

' cTWR. TOM KARL
WILL ASSIST
Mr. Tom Karl, the well-known tenor, until recently of the
Bostonians, has consented to sing a number of songs at this
recital. His accompaniments will be played by the Cecilian.
To comment upon Mr. Karl's voice is idle — it is too well- and
favorably known to need that. Sufficient it is to say that ev-
eryone who hears it on Thursday next will hear one of the
world's greatest voices.

were served with whisky. All of the
liquor had not been used and a num
ber of bottles, partly filled, were left
on the kitchen table when the funeral

The children were playing in the
front room. One went to the kitchen
and got hold of one of the bottles. She
tasted Its contents, then drank a con
siderable amount. The other child did
the same. The McLain child seemed to
like the taste much better than the
Murphy child did and she continued to
drink the liquor. Soon both became
Intoxicated and fell on the kitchen
floor. When, the mourners returned
about 6 o'clock they found both chil
dren stretched on the kitchen floor.

but the McLain girl could not be
brought to consciousness. An ambu
lance from the Wllllamsburg hospital
was 'called and Ambulance Surgeon
