WORSH THAN DISCJRACriri.
ln the fftce of certAln farts herein
noted It required a (rood deal of cour
age nnd some Rail to herald !io«i An
geles ns the most progressive city In
the United Stilton.
Progress In pnrtlctilnr lines only does
not make ■ substantial basis for a
claim to be.id the procession of Amer
ican cities. A conspicuous lacking In
any respect mars the whole exhibit,
like .in Ink dnil on a handsome speci
men of penmanship.
The Ink daub Is nn npproprlate simile
ln considering the defect In this city's
claim to first place In the march of
progress. In a general sense Los An
geles looks ns pretty as ■ prize speci
men of chirograph}*, although the speci
men Is horribly daubed mid disfigured
—by mud.
Hut the ins.- officially assigned for
the smear on tits fair face of Los An
geles Is oven more discreditable than
the smear Itself. Hero It Is, boiled
down to .i few words: The city has
thirty-four miles of paved streets. Ap
plications for the paving of thirty-two
miles more are pigeon-holed In the city
engineer's office. Many miles of paved
streets art In wretched condition for
lark of funds wherewith to repair
them.
Kefir In mind the fact, In considering
this situation, that not n dollar of ex
peme to the city Is involved In any of
the hundreds of pigeon-holed applica
tions for street improvements, ah the
■ 08) for BUCh work Is levied upon the
Owneri Of COnttgUOUl property. And
yet the property owners have been
Clamoring, In some cases two yean or
more, for the work they are eager to
pay for,
Where rests the blame for this aston
ishing situation? Directly In the city
engineer's department; indirectly and
responsibly in the failure of the mu
nicipal government to furnish the city
engineer with adequate assistance.
As a consequence of this condition,
consider the prospect as forecast offi
cially; "To catch up with the street
paving already ordered, at the rate of
iast year's work, will take six years,
without allowing for neve work."
No wonder that the patience of citi
zens living on Unpaved streets is en
tirely exhausted. They are not only
annoyed and Inconvenienced by the
wretched condition of the streets, as
evidenced this winter, but the value of
tin it- property falls to appreciate in
ratio with values on Improved thor
oughfares. And this, tno, when they
are yearning for a chnnee to pay all
expenses, even at present exceptionally
high liffiiros.
The situation thus outlined In Los
Vngeles is not fittingly characterized
merely as disgraceful. It is infamous.
No reasonable excuse or apology can
be offered for it. Strangers who are
acquainted with the city only through
its general reputation could hardly be
lieve that such conditions exist.
These conditions, of course, were in
herited by the administration which
came into power at the beginning of
the year. For the sake of the city's
reputation for progress and to preserve
n decent show of consistency in claim
ing first place for It in the urban pro
cession, it is' to be hoped that no time
will be lost by the new administration
in correcting the glaring errors of its
predecessor.
A PLEASING SPECTACLE
It is pleasing to turn from such de
basing features as prize lighting in Los
Angeles life and contemplate instead
such an inspiring example of the other
side of the life picture as is shown in
the splendid response to the appeal of
tin JToung Women's Christian associa
tion. The contributions already made
toward the new buildlnp for the asso
ciation, approximating $100,000, and fol
lowing so closely after the still greater
sum given for n like purpose to the Y.
M. C. A., probably is without parallel in
the history <'f any city of similar size.
This generous outpouring of funds
in the cause of Christian charity is the
more notable because, it is the offering
of all classes of the community, with
out regard to sectarian proclivities. A
very large proportion "t" the contribu
tions to both of the Christian associa
tions came from persons who are ni>t
affiliated with any religious denomina
tion, Bui all citizens of Los Angeles
recognize the Incalculable value of th>
service rendered by those Institutions
In the >.'''<■■>> work of public betterment.
The undertaking of the women's asso
ciation, tv rai.se $160,000 for their build
ing fund within the brief period of tour
iVCOks, was typical of the pluck and
determination that characterize tht!
niti t his i ity. The task looked as
difficult as .son.,- of the achievements
whereby Hercules became famous, bui
tvithout apparent mlsglv
hus been prosecuted unfaltor
i i in- point where the sm
ins to be in light.
The two line Christian association
buildings thus ussured will be conspli
ouh tokens of the preponderant Chris
tian 1 urn n', in its broad Bonne, pi <■-
vulllng in i."s Angeles, Those bull i

LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 26, 1907.
DIVISION OP CALIFORNIA
lfI If the question of dividing the state
hinged solely on a sufficiency of griev
ances In the southern part, the act of
bisection could not come Inn soon. That
lt will come ultimately there Is hardly
a doubt. Many arguments are avail
able In support of such distinction ns
we see In the Carolines and Dakotas.
Tt Is not n new proposition, hv am
means, that row appears in fftVOf Of
state division. The Idea has been
broarh 1 and discussed at se\iial p.
Hods during the greater development
of the south n section. About ten
years BgO, for Instance. Ihe division
nun , in, nt was so ag| I it I l.os
Angeles was dubbed the "cflpltal city."
Hut while the southern part of the
state has sufficient grievance now lo
variant a demand for lepnrntion, the
question of i aptdtency retjuli
ful consider;! tlon. tn the tii • place,
would separation obviate thi chief
grievance, namely, the outfngeoti* dis
crimination by the legislature against
the Interests of Southern Callfon la?
(fOW, It Is conceded cm all sil,s that
tills legislative antagonism emanates
from the sine pnlltlco-r.iilw ay com
bination that i irgely dominate * tht city
and COUntJ of Lot Angeies. The same
Influences, and In part the same indi
viduals, bossed the siate "organisa
tion" convention nt Santa CMIB last fall
and the county convention at Venice.
And the same general dominance Is in
evidence everywhere in tile state.
What ground is there for belief that
a Southern California legislature would
be held less tightly In the grip of that
powerful combination than is the pres
ent group of legislative looters at Sac
ramentO? The demand for separation
at this time- is based chlelly cm the suc
cess of the combination in stifling legis
lation necessary for the l.os Angeles
harbor project. BUI would It not be
even easier for that combination to
achieve Its purpose with Southern
California legislature, at the capltol
right here in I<os Angeles?
The time will come— it must come
when the Iron grip of the combine on
the political throat of California will be
loosened. That grip is Intolerable, un
bearable, and the tension of public pa
tlence will eventually snap. "When that
time ionics, bringing ■ ith it the bright
prospect of decent politics in city.
county and state affairs, the plan for
the division of California will he ripe.
Hut it is a serious question, at the
present time, whether the erection of
Southern California Into a separate
state would not make the political situ
ation worse instead of better. It would
cost a very large sum of money to es
tablish and maintain a separate state
government, and In present conditions
the combine would be ringmaster of
the circus.
It is now up to Oovernor Gillett to
veto certain bills or stand convicted of
breaking his promise. And they nre not
bills favoring the Southern Pacific,
either, so he can veto them without
trembling.
State division is bound to come, and
Pan Fjancisco may as well make up Its
mind to it. The southland is already
weary of accepting blame for San Fran
cisco's rotten government and state of
affairs.
Mayor Schmitz' latest deal Roes to
prove that he believes In the old sny
ing, "One might as well be killed for
stealing a sheep as a lamb."
Two new warships • ordered by the
Unite 1 States, to be the most power
ful on the seas, may make Japan less
chesty.
And the streets are in no better con
dition for a shower than before.

"THE PROBLEMS OF THE PEOPLE*
William Jennings Hrynn and Stflfttof
Heverldge appear In a printed d.-bite
today on (lie subject of state's rights,
the first In a series on th.- problems of
the people, which has been arranged
between them. It Is understood thai In

All the Important issues between tho
two part will be discussed, and Mr.
Bryan Is expected to outline hit putty's
platform considerably In advance of the
usual date, In the first debate, which
ls published today In the Rend Maga
zine, Mr. Bryan goes Into .< careful
et&tefnCnt of the differing theories held
by statesmen of the constitutional pc
riod and follows this with a discussion
of Issues of the day, In which these
paragraphs nro prominent;
"If the time has ,nme tor obllter.it-

nd i ho-.-, reasons are ci en strongi r

"The demand for the enlargement of
thi i owers of the federal government
comes from two sources, viz.. from
ho believe w Ith Hamilton in the
theory of centralisation, and from those
who v im legislation which the states
rights doctrine obstructs, Of these two
class. >s the hist is most Influential, be
cause the members of this class Impart
to their method the strength supplied
by the object aimed at. An abstract
theory seldom provokes disedssion, but
w.us have been fought over *„ theory
embodied in n con, rete issue
"First, there is the effort to secure
the national incorporation of railway
and Industrial enterprises. 'Chose Who
desire this hope for an act of congress
and a favorable court decision sustain
ing it. They could hardly hope for the
adoption of an amendment to th n
stitutlon. Tho national Incorporation
of business enterprises Is sought In
order to avoid state courts and state
regulation, but in view of the growing
sentiment against monopolies the sub
ject will hardly reach the courts, for It
is not Ilkelj that a majority of con«
gresß ran be brought to favor any en
largement Of th.' power of commercial
corporations,
"A systematic absorption of power by
the federal goverment would not only
cause discontent and weaken the at
tachment of the people for the govern
ment, but would breed indifference to
public affairs— forerunner of despotism,
"The exercise by the federal govern
ment of restraining power Is not so ob
jectionable as the exercite of creative
power.
"In the exercise of restraining power
care should be taken to preserve to the
states the exercise of concurrent au
thority, so that the state government,
as well as the? national government, can
stand guard ovr the rights of citizens.
"No assault upon the authority of
contraction of the sphere of the stato
can be justified on the ground that it
is necessary for the overthrow of mo
nopolies, Federal remedies rhould sup
plement state remedies; they should
not be substituted for state remedies."
In his article Senator Beverldge re
fers to the recent contests waged by
advocates of state's rights against cer
tain federal legislation; the Louisiana
state lottery; tho sending of obscene
literature through the mails, the meat

public Si ores Of thousands of little

compelled to work from ten to twelve
hours a clay to their physical, mental
and moral ruin and the degeneracy of
the race, . . . And now. behind the
mask of 'state's lights, 1 the interests
profiting by child labor are frantic
against the proposed law prohibiting
interstate commerce In the products of
child labor this, too. although state's
rights is not technically touched by the
bill. The Mates cannot stop it.
"Powerful Interests which exploit the
pi ople and the nation's resources can
more easily ban, Me a .'mailer portion of
the American people for their purposes
than they can handle the entire eighty
millions of the people for their pur
poses. And If they are defeated In one
state — one small subdivision of the
American people— they always have
forty-live other chances.
"The extent to Which Ihe American
people are divided (into states) precise
ly measures the extent to which their
power to end abuses Is diminished. It
is all summed ip In the republic's mot
to, 'United we stand, divided we fall.'
"This docs not mean destruction of
the states In their natural spheres of
action, And their natural spheres of
action are described by the phrase 'lo
cal government.'
"All this [the growth In population
woven Intoa unit by railroad, telegraph
and telephone] creates new problems
which the old theory of state's rights
never contemplated, and new necessi
ties on the part of the people which
state's rights cannot supply. But the
people's problems r:USt c BOlved, the
people's necessities supplied. Bach day
makes it clearer that only the nation
can do this. That is why the nation is
doing It. If the states could do that
work better, nothing could prevent
them from cluing it. It is because the
nation is the only force equal to the
daily developing needs of the people
that nattanality is ueveloplng, and for
no other reason. In all of this there is
no harm, but only the welfare of the
people; for it is merely the people
themselves acting i common for their
common good."
It is announced that Mr. Bryan will
answer these arguments of Senator
Beverldge's In the April number of the
Header, and that the senator will reply
to Mr. Uiyan's lemarks quoted above.
MILLIONAIRE AND MOTOR CAR
Thorp was a man who saved and saved
And got a little cash,
And soon among the bulls and bears
On Wall street cut a dash.
By buying here with foresight wise,
And shrewdly selling there,
lie woke one morning bright to find
Himself a millionaire.
He bought a costly motor car
His wealth to celebrate,
Th.- merry tooting of Its horn
Re-echoed long and late.
"Oh, this is life," he gayly cried.
"Oh, this is something like,"
As dally In the big machine
Ho whizzed along the pike.
But what with tires exploding fast
And fines in every town.
Repairs and gasoline, his gold
Like snowflakoß molted down.
And now upon a trolley car
Each day lie. rides to work.
And draws his modest ten per week,
Once more an humble clerk.
