LARGEST CITY ON PACIFIC COAST
Drive out the spooksters.
Welcome to the Stocktonians.
Raise the teachers' salaries. They
need it.
Everybody get ready to vote for the
aqueduct bonds June 12.
Stocktonians have come to "see the
wheels go round." Show 'em.
Forty thousand workmen idle In
San Francisco: Chaos has come.
Los Angeles Is no place for the fake
mediums and frauds. Drive them all
out.
"Keep out of politics," says the presi
dent to the railroads. But what would
become of all the Walter Parkers?
Vote the aqueduct bonds and make
business so lively for so many years
that there will never be another lull.
The next convention in Los Angeles
will be that of the Stato Order of
Druids, 1500 in number. They will all
be welcome.
Tom Lawson insists that the Repub
lican and Democratic conventions
should nominate Roosevelt for presi
dent. But what's the matter with
Bryan?
Since they have missed out on the
train wreckers maybe tho sheriff and
police will ratch the highwaymen who
are holding up street cars. We have
hopes, at any rate.
If San Pedro doesn't rhango her at
titude soon she will find herself left
high and dry on the beach — passed up
by both the federal government and
the city of Los Angeles.
Engineer Mulholland says: "An
alysis shows that Owens valley water
is two and one-half times purer than
the water we are now using." Who
said alkali? Was it Sammy?
If It be really true that the rattle
trap green cars on the Interurban lines
are to be superseded by new ones, all
citizens who are compelled to ride on
them will rejoice and be exceeding
glad.
If the street railway conductors, with
all their hourly experiences, cannot half
the time determine the age of a child,
how much success will Manager Black
wood or Manager Wyatt have? The
city council should repeal that ordi
nance. It's a freak.
The supervisors of Los Angeles coun
ty must not make a mistake in naming
a highway commission. Rumor is busy
with allegations that the Southern
Pacific has prepared a slate, and those
named In that connection should have
the closest scrutiny.
The organ ization of thp Winnemuera
Country olub, with Jaro vnn Pchmidt
as president, marks a distinct and
happy epoch in the history of Los An
geles. It will be a great Institution
one of the many beautiful sights of this
ever beautiful city— and all who have
the good fortune to be included In the
membership of the new club are to be
congratulated.
"Keep out of politics," says the presi
dent to the attorneys and officials of the
big railroads. And that's the advice
The Herald has regularly tendered in
the same direction. If the. Southern
Pacific, for instance, were to withdraw
from the politics of California all its
other sins would be speedily arbitrated
by a grateful public. "Keep out of
politics" is the best advice that can be
given the worried and harried rail
ways.
Theater managers find they cannot
comply with the new ordinance pro
hibiting admittance of children to
their theaters under 14 years of age
without parent or guardian. Of course
they cannot. If they should make a
mistake as to age they would be liable
to damages under the state discrimina
tion law and they can no more judge
the age of a child than that of a desert
burro. Repeal the ordinance. It's a
farce.
Los Angeles merchants and bankers
who returned last night from Tonopah
report wonderful developments among
the mining camps of Southern Nevada
and a general disposition to trade with
this city. All that has ever been re
quired to establish trade relations be
tween these great sections was an ex
hibit of friendship, and now that it
has been splendidly tendered by Los
Angeles it will be as splendidly recip
rocated
PRESIDENTIAL ADVICE
In his address at Indianapolis yester
day, unveiling the monument to the
late Gen. Lawton, the president took
occasion to express his views with re
spect to future legislation in regulation
of the great railroads. Some of these
expressions were not new, the most of
them being familiar as the budget
known under the general appellation of
"Rooseveltlan policies."
But the president str-ick one lm
pqrtant keynote when he said: "Let the
local attorneys of the big roads keep
out of politics-and when they have to
appear before the national or any state
legislature let their names be put on a
special register and let their business be
aboveboard and open."
This is the Democratic way. This is
precisely the course that is being fol
lowed in Democratic Missouri, where
the railroads are being forced out of
politics and a Democratic legislature
has recently enacted a law requiring
representatives of railroads when they
arrive at the capital to register their
names with the secretary of state and
enter of record the business which
brings them there.
Without waiting, however, for the in
stitution of compulsory measures such
as these, the local attorneys and offi
cials of the railroads should make an
nouncement of the fact that they have
voluntarily retired from politics and
that hereafter they will behave like
other citizens, going to the capital only
when they have reason to believe the
railroad's interests are endangered, and
only then for the purpose of making
an open argument before a legislative
committee.
Such a movement, generally made
throughout the country, would Immedi
ately remove exislng prejudice and
send to speedy arbitration the differ
ences between railroads and people,
based upon such business questions as
rates, rebates and taxes. Many promi
nent railroad men have already de
clared in favor of the proposition, but
no organized movement in that direc
tion has been made.
The people emphatically and properly
protest against the seizure of govern
ment by the railways. In California,
for instance, the Southern Pacific
openly nominates the Republican state
and county tickets and has even been
accused of naming the United States
senators. What follows? Retaliation
by way of congress.
And there will be no sympathy with
the railroads until they quit the field
of politics and government and ask
for judgment as honest business men
engaged in a legitimate and necessary
enterprise.
Get out of politics, Mr. Railroad Law
yer, and stay out. You cannot run all
the country all the time, and there are
very lively present indications that if
you don't get out you are liable to be
kicked out.
WHY THE WHEELS GO "ROUND
Now is the time for northern cities to
send delegations to Los Angeles to solve
the mystery of "What makes the wheels
go round" in the southern metropolis.
Several such delegations from the
north have visited this city within the
last few months, a delegation from
Stockton is now here and two or three
more delegations are scheduled to come.
The people of Los Angeles, both official
and laymen, are glad to welcome such
visitors and to explain the working of
the "wheels."
But it happens that just at the pres
ent time there is an exceptional oppor
tunity for representatives of other cities
to gain an insight into the mysterious
influence that keeps Los Angeles in the
recognized lead of American cities in
progress and prosperity.
To he more specific, the chance is of
fered now for outsiders to see the inner
working of the machinery that causes
the results which astonish observant
visitors. A handsome watch is an
object of admiration, but in order
to appreciate its beauty fully it
is necessary to see the delicate
mechanism within. Just so, in order
to understand the marvel of this
city's splendid progress it is necessary
to see the working of the mainspring on
which the perfect movement of the
wheels depends.
The mainspring of the progress of this
city is laid bare just now, in full view of
all observers, citizens and strangers
alikf. Its exhibition recalls the fable
wherein an old man, on the verge of the
grave, summons his several children.
From a number of small sticks at hand
he lakos one and snaps it in two be
tween his fingers. Then he ties several
of the sticks together and demonstrates
that the sticks cannot be broken when
thus united. The application of the
f;ible is seen in our national motto, "In
union is strength." ,
Los Angeles never exhibited a more
striking example of the potency of union
— the "pull together habit" — than It is
showing at the present time. Every
citizen knows that the future life of the
city is dependent upon a plentiful water
supply. Every one knows that it will
cost money to furnish a supply suf
ficient for the Greater Los Angeles of
the future. But every one appreciates
the importance of grasping the oppor
tunity ere it is too late, and of insuring
the city's great future notwithstanding
the cost.
And to that end the people of this
city are bound together, like the old
man's sticks in the fable, bo tightly that
they cannot be separated. A rotten
stick Is here and there, not worthy of
the bundle, but the m,aas Is so strong
that nothing can break it.
It is this spectacle of the strength
in union — thiß exemplification of the Los
Angelea "pull together habit" on all
questions of great public concern — that
the delegations of northern cities should
witness now. Never was the mysterious
mainspring of the city's progress more
plainly visible to all observers than It is
today.
All classes of citizens, without dis
tinction of "race, color or previous con
dition," are working together with the
nicety of a chronometer's mechanism in
LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1907.
the effort to make the vote on the water
bond proposition as nearly unanimous
as possible. The corporations which are
antagonizing the proposition are pur
posely left out of the category of citi
zens because they represent foreign
capital and are mere money making
concerns for persons who have no citi
zenship interest In Los Angeles.
Northern cities should send along
their delegations of observers now. A
view of the present situation leaves no
doubt as to "what makes the wheels go
round" in Los Angeles.
MR. BRYAN'S "WONDER"
William J. Bryan in his eloquent and
delightful address yesterday at Nor
folk, Va., discussed federal taxation in
its leading phases, paying special at
tention to the Philippines and to the
railroad question. The Associated
Press, in the course of its tantalizingly
brief report of the speech, says:
"The speaker discussed federal own
ership of railroads, but said after all
he wondered If more was not to be
gained for the people by discussing
and fighting the corporations."
Mr. Bryan's "wonderment" Is one of
his saving and most delightful expres
sions. He means by its use that he is
always open to argument since he re
alizes the old saying, "It's a mighty
bad case that hasn't two sides."
The American people are not ready
even to discuss the federal ownership
of railroads. At the present stage of
their opinion they don't want federal
ownership and they don't want Mr.
Bryan to talk about It. That's the long
and the short of it.
What they do want is regulation—
—laws that will compel the railroads
to deal fairly and honestly with the
p eO ple—iaws that will force the rail
roads out of politics and push them
back into the open, honest conduct of
their great enterprises.
There is nothing so necessary to the
people as transportation — railroads,
steamships, canals, but especially
railroads. The people are grateful for
these tremendous highways of com
merce, but they object to having the
railroads run the government, and just
now they are not willing to have the
government own the railroads.
All they ask and insist upon is that
the railroads shall play fair.
If Mr. Bryan's "wonder" has brought
him to see this important fact— which
he acknowledges— he it all the more
certain to become the next president
of the United States.
CITRUS CROP NEVER FAILS
With the hope of saving fruit crops
from destruction by frost, farmers In
northern Ohio are resorting to fires at
night. The expedient, as reported, ap
pears to be practically the same that
Southern California orange growers
sometimes employ for a like purpose.
There is the wide climatic difference,
however, that the orange men smudge
In the coldest period of midwinter,
when the east is Icebound, while their
eastern brethren fire up in the last week
of May.
The extraordinary lateness of the
warm season's arrival is causing in
calculable damage to agriculture in the
whole section of the United States east
of the mountains. Over that entire
range of country there have been for
weeks discouraging accounts of the
fruit outlook. The wheat crop also has
suffered to an extent that has caused
prices to go beyond the dollar mark
and that promises still greater ad
vances.
A sharp contrast between such con
ditions in the east and the situation In
Southern California is presented now.
The orange crop, which is our most
important product of agriculture, is
nearing the end of the marketing sea
son. The navel oranges, constituting
the larger portion of the crop, have
nearly all been shipped eastward. There
"are a few hundred carloads left," ac
cording to reports from the navel
orange belt, but that quantity is rated
as trivial in a total output of more
than 25,000 carloads.
And now, as a result of the always
reliable orange crop in Southern Cali
fornia, the growers are seeking ways
and means to take care of the aggre
gate sum of something more than
$20,000,000 that is pouring Into their
laps. Prices in the eastern markets
have been uniformly good throughout
the season. Small orchards of five
acres have earned enough money to
keep a large family comfortably for a
year and larger ones have yielded
moderate fortunes.
The song that tells how "The farm
er's life is the life for me" is very much
of a humbug in its general application.
From the first day of eastern farm
work in the spring until the last one in
the fall the average farmer Is worried
about the outcome of his crops. The
weather usually is either too cold or too
warm, too dry or too wet. And then
there are pests and other crop destroy
ers that keep the plodding farmer "on
nettles."
But not so in the blessed Southern
California land of sunshine. The citrus
crop never fails and the producer al
ways is certain that his golden fruit
will yield him a bountiful return in
golden coin.
Mr. Bryan's tribute to "Dixie" in his
speech yesterday will be approved by
men and women of all parties. Perhaps
no martial air ever written Is quite bo
stirring and full of vigor. "Dixie" is
now a national hymn.
Harbor frontage for Los Angeles at
Wilmington will be a good leverage.
"Death lurks In kissing," says a Glas
gow doctor. Aw, get out!
May End Strike

NEW YORK, May 30.— There was an
easier feeling along the water front to
day because of a general feeling which
has become a belief that the longshore
men's strike will end within twenty
four hours by agreement.
