THE HERALD IN SAN FRANCISCO : 'AND OAKLAND — Los Angeles ">" d Southern California visitors to San f -ranolsoo and Oakland will find Taj He.- aid on sale at the news stands In the San Francisco ferry building, and on th " utreeU in Oakland by Wheatley and by Amos News Co. ■ Population of Los Angeles, 300.000 LARGEST CITY ON PACIFIC COAST . It ie now only a question of getting out the vote. The Indorsement of Knox gives some bard knox to one Taft. It is about time for Fiddler Schmltz to tune up and begin on Tosti's "Fare well." Now dir that Hill street tunnel and bring Hollywood into close touch with a. real city. And at this time next week the Snooze will be wondering why It Is a Snooze, and wherefore. As between the Schmitz and the Hay wood frials, it is hard to tell which is the more bloodcurdling. Come to think of it, is anyone, out side of Alkali Sammy, going to vote against the water bonds? Won't Fiddler Schmltz' pompadour bristle when his former ally, Abe Ruef, takes the stand against him? With all the failures in his attempts to slay, Harry Orchard looks a good deal like a dub at murdering. The favorite son campaign is on; Pennsylvania comes out for Knox and i , thus knox the Roosevelt game. Last week there were thirteen mur der* in New York city. Always counted unlucky, that thirteen number. What ihe animals think of Roosevelt and his controversy with Dr. Long would make interesting reading. And now the graduates are beginning to tell the universe how to run itself. Which the universe will proceed to do, as usual. It is proposed to form a club of those against Owena river, but so far not enough have been found to fill the of fices in it. The bad weather back east hasn't prevented the Kansas hen from doing her duty. Eggs are only 10 cents a dozen there. Jesse James, jr., is a lawyer. He gets the coin just the same, though in a dif ferent fashion from his distin guished pa. Talking about "clean sweeps" in elections, it will be a long day ere the majority that will be cast for Owens river is overtopped. The heavy taxpayers are all for Oweiu river — and they bear the big end of its cost. Why, then, shouldn't the little fellow be for it? Abe Hummel, New York's boss grafter, is beating rock In prison, buz Abe Ruef, San Francisco's boss, is still In the custody of the elisor. According to the dopesters, the Owens river election will win by a very large majority. But that shouldn't prevent every man voting for it. Every vote counts. The whole activity of Los Angeles is pausing to await the Owens river bond vote. When the election is carried watch Los Angeles leap forward as never before. Important item: The heir to the czar has donned his first trousers. And to him, that is of more note than would be the crash of the empire over which be will probably reign. That Long Beach 1 girl who laughed herself to death over a joke should have confined her humorous absorp tion to the alleged "funny" papers, and thus have insured herself a green old age. H. E. Huntington is opposed to a surface bridge at Seventh street. Mr. Huntington is right; there la no need of a surface crossing there, or any where else in so busy a city as Los Angeles. Ban Francisco's treatment of the Japanese is causing trouble again, but no invitation to Mayor Schmttz from the president to come and talk it over has been recorded up to the time of going to press. San Francisco admits that the in surance money is gone and that it must get $260,000,000 from the east wherewith to rebuild. With the present city gov ernment and the graft cloud over it. San Francisco will not experience much ease in obtaining what it bo sorely needs. THE SUBWAY REDMVUS Again the great subway project gives pleasing promise of being pushed to completion. After many months of de lay because of a trivial hitch between the Los Angeles-Pacific company and the board of education the work of con struction is likely to begin at once. At the first stage of the enterprise The Herald correctly characterized it as second only to Mr. Huntington'a great urban and interurban transit as a factor in the future upbuilding of Los Angeles. The value of the projected system is evidenced by the fact that It will re duce time schedules nearly one-half from Los Angeles to the Hollywood district and ultimately to the ocean. What that means in the enhancement of property values is shown in the wil lingness of property owners along the line to make large contributions for highway tunnels side by side with those of the railway company. Not only the individual residents and other property owners along the sub way line will be benefited by the im proved system of rapid transit. The city as a whole will be a large gainer by reason of the great increase in values of assessable property. That increase probably will be equal, by the time the construction work is completed, to all the cost of the work. Progressive citizens are pleased to see that the obstructive policy adopted toward the electric railway companies by the last city administration finds no favor with the administration of which Mayor Harper is the head. The broad-minded ideas that prevail now in the city government are in striking contrast with the rut that constituted the viewpoint of the former body. The subway system — meaning a rail way which pierces high grounds by tunnels and depressed ii uoks— will af ford a more direct course than is pos sible by an ali surface line and will admit of much greater speed because of exclusive right of way. It is an expensive plan of railway construc tion, but it is a recognized necessity in the larg-er class of cities, both Amer ican and European. Los Angeles needs greater rapid transit facilities and needs them ur gently. There is good reason to be lieve that the stoppage of local rail way building, as a consequence of the obstructive policy of the McAleer ad ministration, has been or.c factor in the decrease of home building activity. Inviting home sites in some of the most attractive localities have failed of improvement because of the stop page of railway extensions consequent upon obstructive ordinances. Street railway expansion has been the leader In the marvelous growth of Los Angeles and must continue so to be. The more railways the better and they cannot be constructed too fast to meet the requirements of home seek er*. BACK TO NATURE One of the most widely known Amer ican actors announces his purpose to quit the stage forever and become a miner in Nevada. He says he "wants to live among real men and real things, away from artifice and artistry and all ether big names for little things." Back to nature is the aspiration of that actor. And none can appreciate so readily as one of his profession that "all the world's a stage," on which men and women strut their brief hour. He knows that what is commonly rated as the best in life— the luxuries and pleasures that wealth can buy— are really only as the shams enacted on the stage. That actor, surfeited with the best that comes to a favorite of the mimic stage, or to one of the broad world stage, has reached the frame of mind that Solomon, greatest of voluptuaries, expressed in his declining years: "Re move far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me." Life in a Nevada camp, or anywhere else, "far from the madding crowd" and the swirl of conventional pleasure, should be alluring to any man of sense who has seen the great world at its best and at its worst. The actor truly says: "I havn met men in Nevada — men that are men," and by implication he confesses that men who are not shams form a very small minority on the world's stage. And what he says particularly of Ne vada Ir applicable to the whole range of the preat west. In this region of rel atively sparse settlement and compara tive newness mankind is in closer touch with nature than in- the artificial atmosphere that stifles the growth of "men that are men," as the actor ex presses It. It Is only strange that sane men who have drained the cup of pleasure are not by hundreds and thousands reach ing the conclusion that real happiness and contentment are not dependent on the size of one's bank deposit. The chase for wealth and the resultant weakness for the usual fruits thereof are destructive to both mind and body. Such a life sowing is almost sure to be followed by a harvest of regret. And how often the surfeited votary of pleas ure must experience the feeling poet ically expressed by Cowper, "O for a lodge In some vast wilderness!" The nearer we all get to nature and the farther from the artificial environ ment of "Vanity Fair" the more true happiness and the greater contentment we shall enjoy. No one thinks that the Owens river bond issue will not carry, but everyone wanta it to win by an overwhelming majority. You can help toward this end by casting your own vote and seeing that all your friends do like wise. Anyone who is hankerln' after a Jolly good snowstorm need not wait till next winter for It, but can take his trip to the old home right away and enjoy it to the full. LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1907. THE HAYWOOD TRIAL The Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho, promises to rival the Thaw trial in New York as the Judicial sensation of *he year. The two cases are totally unlike except In the fact that murder Is the basis of both. Haywood, unlike Thaw, Is not accused of being the actual perpetrator of murder, nor does he admit any partlcipancy in the crime as charged in the indictment. Fur thermore he Is only one of several al leged accessories before the fact, all the others being slated for trial, as presumed, after the initial case Is dis posed of. The mere selection of the Jury to try Haywood occupied two weeks and the trial is likely to be one of the longest- on record. If all the parties to the alleged conspiracy are brought to trial Idaho will have an appalling expense account to liquidate. The Haywood case is peculiar, as all the rest will be, in the fact that the chief witness for the prosecution is the confessed murderer. That witness, a person of admittedly bad character, has testified that he was the hired assassin of conspirators who had planned the death of Idaho's former governor. A' great deal of sympathy for Hay wood and the other persons Indicted with him has been expressed in all parts of the United States, particular ly in labor union circles. It is as sumed by sympathizers that the de fendants are victims of malicious per secution and that it is outrageous to put their liberty and life in Jeopardy on the basis of a miscreant's testimony. On the other hand it is claimed by the prosecution that the evidence will disclose a monstrous conspiracy on the part of Haywood and his alleged con federates, and that the murder in volved in the present trial was only an incident in the chain of crimes. Those crimes, all attributed primarily to Haywood and his confreres, cover the blowing up of mines and a rail way depot, two murders In addition to the one which led to the present trial and also attempts on the lives of Judges and other high officials. It has been widely claimed by friends of the prisoners that they will not be accorded a fair trial in Idaho. The care with which the Jury was selected, however, gives reason for belief that the claim is entirely unfounded. The trial or trials, as the case may be, will afford another striking ex ample of deplorable results from quar rels between workers and employers when carried to the limit of crime. The owner of the Express fell a vic tim to his own joke yesterday when his newspaper, having printed a pic ture of "the ugliest spot in Los An geles" at Seventh and Spring, made the awful discovery that the owner of the Express is also the owner of the ugliest spot. Mr. Earl has taken the hint and will clean it up. "Square Deal." — In reply to your in quiry, the estimates made for the com pletion of the Owens river aqueduct are officially given as $23,110,700. All talk of any greater sum is either the result of ignorance or misrepresentation, and can be traced to mlsstatements by the Evening News. Don't be deceived by such allegations. Tariff reform will not be a paramount issue, says Mr. Bryan, who thinks the railroad and kindred questions will out weigh all else. In the meantime it is interesting to observe that President Roosevelt is working along the lines of the national Democratic platform with respect to the trusts and corporations. That Seventh street bridge should be a viaduct, not a surface crossing. And the board of public works should not permit a surface crossing to be built. That's all there is to it. The Japs arc making a dreadful fuss over that little affair in San Francisco. Uncle Sam is looking at them. SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOKS * ARE ON THE PRESSES An edition of twenty thousand guide books of Los Angeles and California will be issued In the near future as the official souvenirs of the coming N. E.
