By a smart trick the council increases

The^dry dock Dewey is anchored In

Congressman Glllett says H. T. Gage

Probably the only leason the cor

Ice companies In St. Louis have been
sued by thi» state upnn charges of com

fine of $71,400 and to annul the charters
of the companies. These be sorry days,
indeed, for the octopl,
The outfall newer situation is re
ported to he deplorable. The contract
ors have ptoppprj work and no doubt
action will be begun against them on
their official bond. Hampered by the
inflow of water, the sewer cannot he
finished without considerable delay and
large additional expense. It ia a situa
tion sincerely regretted, since the great
sewer has been relied on by the whole
city to hasten the completion of laterals.
It is now up to the board of works to
take the subject In hand and see that
the sewer Is completed.
Economy In the use of water Is urged
by Superintendent Mulholland, it is
usuul In midsummer for the supply to
run low, owing to the large quantities
of water required for lawns and gur
dens, but there is apprehension that
the supply may run lower than
ever this year, on account of
the tremendous increase in the
city's population. Los Angeleß Is
growing so faat that no department of
the city government can keep pace
with It, and the water department Is
most frequently at Its wits' end to xieet
the emergencies. The conservation of
the past winter was unusually large,
but the city's growth was eveu larger.
{Therefore, don't waste water.
PURITY OF THE PRIMARY
Primaries «r« coming on to be held
In Lou Angeles, and the time la oppor
tune to again direct attention to the
crime of partisan voting at the primary
held hy an opposing party.
In all cities this crime Is present. In
greater or less mensure, And ln Los An
grles It has been conspicuously bad.
Many conscienceless men see no harm
—or seeing It, do not enre — In voting at
n primary of the party to which they
do not belong. Men claiming on elec-
tion day to be Democrats! have voted fit
[the Republican primaries, usually In
favor of the worst candidates. Men
who vote the Kepubllcnn ticket nre fre
quently found voting nt a Democratic
primary— for the worst candidates.
They do not seem to understand the
extreme helnousness of the offense.
They do not appreciate the fact that
they are striking nt the very founda
tions of popular government, in addi
tion to violating the law of the Innd.
It in absolutely essential thnt rnch
party organization, to the fullest nnd
best extent of Its membership, should
be free nnd nntrnmmeled In the work
Of determining Its own policies nnd
nominees. Pemocrnts who vote nt
Republican primaries and Republicans
who vote nt Democratic prlmnrles are
dolnjr violence to fundamental principles
and should be punished severely. When
the source of n water supply Is muddled
the t.ilnt extends to the whole supply.
Primary elections fire the beginnings,
the fountnln heads of government, and
where they nre polluted, distorted and
I permeated with fraud, the people nre
deprived of their rights. Especially
are they deprived of the right to ascer
tnin and determine their own will.
Fraud at the primary elections Is not
only subversive of law and order, but
Is the opportunity and the means of
perpetuation of the machine. When a
Republican machine fears the honest
expression of Its party, it endeavors to
pick up enough conscienceless voters
from other parties to overthrow the
party will. When a too active Demo
cratic organization forgets its own
principles in its desire to nominate its
own favorites, recourse is too often
had to the criminal who will vote at
any primary.
I Beginning with the primary, there
must be purity in our elections. Fraud
must be prevented at the fountain
head, and voters must be made to un
derstand, by punishment if reason
fails, that a fraud committed at a pri
mary is even a greater crime — If that
were possible— than a fraud committed
at a general election.
Let us have absolutely fair primaries
In Los Angeles, and then the whole
people will be in position to freely ex
press their will in civic affairs.
A PURELY CLASS PARTY
A Jiew partisan factor in American
Foiitlce will be Introduced in the cam
paign I'CW about to open. As indicated
in tli* first exposition of its policj*, the
new factor will have a Meld of wlrt.
scop*, covering the whole ground from
t'.if? top of national issues to the sub
stratum of municipal affairs. And the
jreni-.nl policy, as marked out, will be
r. rac'lcal departure from all precedents
—an innovation In political principles
and partisan methods.
The Labor Union party, as officially
announced by tho American Federation
of Labor, has taken the lead In an effort
to solidify, in a political movement, all
the union labor forces in the United
States. The initial step, as outlined by
the officials of the federation, relates
only to the legislative elections, but ro
secret is made of the fact that the whole
political field is to be cultivated. The
breadth of the scop? of this movement
is seen right here in Los Angeles, where
plans are well advanced by the labor
unions to run a distinctive municipal
ticket in the coming election.
In conslderlr.g the character of this
new elemfnt, as a more or less potent
factor in political affairs, we first note
the feature whi^h distinguishes it from
all other partisan elements. It is dis
tinctly and avowedly a class factor. Its
principles are solely those which trade
unionism embrace-. The policies at
which it alms are confined entirely to
the demands of the trade unionists, and
all apparent consideration for the whole
American people is based on the
assumption that "We are the people."
Never before in the history of the
United States has an attempt been
made to build a political party on the
narrow foundation of class Interests.
All other parties, past and present, were
and are founded on broad general prin
ciples. The projection of a clearly de
fined class party Into the politics of the
present time is dangerous Just In pro
portion to ttie vote it can command.
Now note the tyrannous method
whereby this labor party undertakes to
peek political control, a manifesto
issued by the Federation of Labor is
now being sent throughout the United
States to prospective legislative and
congressional candidates. Such candi
dates are asked 'o respond Immediately
to such questions as these: Will you, If
elected, favor the eight-hour Bystem for
government work? Will you pledge
yourself to oppose Injunctions restrain
ing strikers from Interfering with non
union workers? etc.
The threat that goes with these de
mands Is the most flagrant attempt at
political "bulldozing" that ever has
h.-en projected Into the politics of this
country. Here :t Is: "if you or any
other candidate refunes to come out for
the people squarely and openly and In
writing Hlsrned by yourself, we Bhall
tuke the Bteps described In our letter
to congressional candidates, a refusal
to reply during the next ten days will
be a negative to our questions, and we
shall govern ourselves accordingly."
Can any tluughtful American, ever,
though he be a trade unionist, full to
nee the dangerous trend of such efforts
to obtain political control? Instead of
the so-called "government by injunc
tion" the federation offers government
by threat and intimidation. Promise In
advance to do as we demand or i.ff goe«

WHERE NATURE BECKONS
The Salt Lake promoter* of th*>
movement to divert American travel
from fturope nnd toward the fnr we«t
of our own country probably Is not pre-
mature. The time will come, unqtirs-
tlon.ihly, when the grandeur nn.l
beauty of our mountain and coast
states will bo appreciated. The fact
will be reeogiyzed, nlso, thnt Kuropo
tins but few iintur.".l nttrnctlnns com
parable with those which nre seen In
these states. Hut It may be a long
tltno brforo the American crnze. for
skirmishing on the outskirts of Eu
ropean nobility Is satisfied. Until that
time comes the natural beauties of
the west will be enjoyed only by the
class of people, who lovp pin In na
ture without the glittering tinsel of
fashion.
It lathe variety nnd vnatness of lh.->
scenery In this western line thnt
places It beyond comparison Wltii
what Is seen In Europe. The Alps
nnd part of the Mediterranean shore,
the Rhine and tho Danube, nre tho
greatest of Europe's natural attrac
tions. We hnvo mountain peaks ln
the west that overtop the) highest of
the Alps, nnd we have lofty mountain
ranges that occupy greater areas than
whole countries in Europe. In the
Oolorndo river we have one of tho
greatest wonders of the world, and
our giant trees nnd petrified forests arc
without parallel anywhere.
In this period of mid-July a two
hour railway Jaunt will bring a trav
eler to tthc foothills of mountains that
reach more than two miles skyward.
In the. hottest days known to South
ern California there are gorges at or
near the tops of those mountains where
perennial Ice nnd snow make a tem
perature that calls for heavy clothing.
These icy deposits are so vast in
places that they present veritable gla
ciers challenging the courage and
skill even of famous high mountain
climbers.
Pest of all, the lofty mountains in
question, pome of whose peaks are
visible from Los Angeles when at
mospheric conditions are favorable, of
fer alluring Invitations to pleasure
seekers In the midsummer season, At
altitudes not so high as the penks there
are many canyons through which Ice
cold water runs in rivulets, alike
through summer and winter, fed by
the ice and snow deposits nt higher
points. Cozy dells are in these can
yons, where .campers find ideal condi
tions for a glorious outing ln closest
touch with nature.
The summer attractions of these
mighty sierras of the west cannot long
be overlooked by the throng of Am
ericans who now swarm in Europe
during the summer months. The
apers of European nobility will con
tinue, no doubt, to heed fashion's man
date to journey across the Atlantic in
quest of pleasure, but the saner
class will in time turn to the far
west and seek the delights that now
are within easy and inexpensive reach
of Los Angeles.
The corporations didn't quite get all
the reductions they asked, but they
came so near it that you don't hear any
wails of anguish rending the atmos
phere from their directions.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 17.— "What to

room," was the unexpected problem,
the solution of which Dean R. J.
Fowney demonstrated to his class in
pedagogy at the state university normal
school today.
He was engaged In pointing the peda

of prospective school teachers, when,
through the open door, came a dog,
snarling, snapping and frothing.
Instantly every fair pupil mounted
the topmost portion of her seat, while
the maddened brute circled the room.
Dean Fowney had a large revolver in
his desk, which he brought Into use
at once, killing the dog on the spot.

that all of them when boys had
been governed strictly nnd frequently
thrashed. He also Interviewed thirty
loafers to learn t ( wenty-ueven of them
hail been "mamma's darling" und the
other three hud been reared by their
grandmothers. Tho moral of thig would
seem to be thnt father should rush his
"kill" Into the woodshed at once and
thrush him severely.— Minneapolis
