CONSERVATION VT ; \TIONAL Conservation congress \ will be held in the first week of -1-" September, and It is hoped and believed the Roosevelt conservation policies will he expounded hy their dis tinguished originator. The congress will be held at St. Paul, Minn., and It is the duty of the California delegation to make timely preparation for a cam paign that will bring the next congress to Los Angeles. Conservation of national natural re sources will he regarded by posterity as (lie most far-seeing of the national pol icies of the early twentieth century. The theory of conservation is much better and more generally understood now than it was a few years ago. Much <>f the wastefulness from the effects of which the North American continent is suffering—a. wastefulness that -was reprehended and checked none ton goon —was the result of ignorance. What seemed to have been provided by nature in. reckless abundance was wasted by man in reckless use. From prodigality to penury Ik an easy step; and it was only when beggared nf some of its riches that the nit ion be gan systematically to rehabilitate itself. But facllis descensus averni, jind it's a long cdimb back. Still, much progress has been made— encouraging progress—and while the lordly bison will never more roam the great plains, woodland and water will be preserved, and there will be no more wanton ivildernessing of the land that in its primeval condition brought forth abun dance for man and beast. NEEDLESS FEAR ASIATIC Exclusion league is repre sented by a remarkabli maga zine calk-u "The White Man." Every intelligent Japanese and Chinese who reads our language will fairly gloat over the unexpected revelations of craven timidity and nervous appre hension contained In the hysterical pages of "The White Man." "The White -Man" is written by white llvered men, whose nightmares are awesome visions of the triumphant conquest of the Pacific by the brown peril, which haa replaced the yellow peril, of tlie white peril which cleaned the red-skinned human being oft the North American continent nothing la saiii. A little ovit 250 jenrs ago there wasn't an English-speaking white in America. They Beem to be L'alrl} nu merous now. The aggressiveness which has plared upward of a hundred million white English-speaking people on a continent that was still for the most part unex plored when the Declaration of. inde pendence was signed has not bpen unspoiled even by the commercial <lo bauchery which has been a regrettable feature of modern times. Let us culti vate Independence, honor, honesty, courage,' Americanism, brotherly kind ness and patriotism; trust in God arid do the right, and wo need fear no foe. Los Angeles leads the twenty largest cities of the United Stales in pi age of gain in building valuation* in April, as compared with the amount for the same month of last year. And Uiat's the 1,03 Angeles way. BIG CITIES CENST'S figures are oonflrminK the impression the tendency of mod ern population Is to drift Into gnat metropolitan centers. In the growth of its city populations Amer ica is not alone. The population of London ll about R,000,000i of New York, about r.,noo,ooo; at Part* upward of 3,000,000; of rhicngo. nbout 3,00C,O0O; of Berlin, 8,008,000, nnd of Vienna. 2.000, --000. During the past few years tho average annual increase In New York lias boon about 126,000; in London, 109.04G; Chicago, 58,435: Vienna, 50.222; Berlin, 31,199; Paris, 9565. Should this growth be maintained for fifty yean London would have 13,000,000 inhab itants; New York. 11.000,000; Chicago, 0 and Vienna, 4,500,000. And, figuring 'hat Greater Los An geles at the time of the completion of the Panama canal will have at least 1,000,000 Inhabitants, the population fifty yean hence should be about ,000. Since hygienic improvements and re forms tend to increase population by lessening disease and the death rate it is the duty Of civilization to make preparation for the care of city pop ulations. A comparison of German and American methods of city build- Ing is not flattering- to our progressive country. An observer says: "Compare Berlin, with its splendid streets, Its beautiful parkways and its artistic j elevated railway property with the average American city, or evi'ii with the most advanced of American cities, and the contrast is striking. On the one hand we find system, foresight, efficiency,.honesty and beauty. On the other we find chaos, shortsightedness, inefficiency, graft and ugliness " Prom this general condemnation Los Angeles should be excepted. By build inK with an eye to grace and propor tion as well as to commercial needs Greater Los Angeles will become the most beautiful and artistic city in the world. THE COMET H ALLEY'S comet—the return of which will gr,atify the supersti tious by its coincidence with King Edward's death—is now splendidly visible between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning. People who do not take ad vantage of this opportunity to gaze upon the spectacular wanderer are not likely to have another opportunity, be en use after it leaves our skies it won't revisit them for about seventy-rive earth years . After May 18 the comet will he visible after sunset, but will constantly de crease in brightness. Scientists believe they will make im portant discoveries by observing the comet with the splendid instruments now available. At last there may be an answer to the conundrum: "Why is a comet?" The plan of the universe is orderly. Through all the heavens, as through all the ages, on^ Increasing purpose runs; and therefore the apparition of the wandering glory star has its ob ject and Its significance, and will have its results. But what will they be? AUTOMOBILE SAFETY NRAP.LY every automohile accident reported is explained by the fact that safety lias been sacrificed tv speed. In spite "f examples, warnings, reproofs, admonitions, the speeder pur sues his mad course and makes trouble for himself and those who are so rash as to entrust their safety to his care. Accidents caused by bad roads, how ever, are not preventable by the ut most caution. The condtlon of the steep grade extending out of the Arroyo Be :o near Avenue 66 and Jlarminn way should be remedied without delay. Ow ing to the condition of the roadway, citizens on a touring car were exp'is 1 tv imminent danger of death Sunday. In self-defense, as well as for the pro tection of the public, automohilists should Inspect roads and streets in the county, and especially in the Greatei Los Angeles area of influence, and should report and blacklist all danger ous sections, MENACE TO PEACE ALFRED AUSTIN'S latest effort is entitlel: "A Truce of Qod, H Kinsr's Bequest." We approve the yearnings of the laureate for interna tional peace, and believe modern inter national society must organize Itself mi a permanent peace basis if it would secure the permanency of the Cauca sian school to civilization. But we cannot appreciate the poetic style in which .Mr. Austin laureates his peace piping intent, surely there is bewilderment In the lines: Rnuii'l royal shr.'Uil A mournful crowd is all now lf.'t of one bul I'eaterday a king. The laureate conveys the impression the remains of royallty are a crowd. Hy nil means let us have interna tional peace. But we suggest there Is one possible menace to that desirable condition its exasperating name is Al fred Austin.

C May 4.— [Editor Herald]: The hissing Incident In connection with President Taft'i address of welcome to the woman's BufTrage convention recently held in Washington, D. C, was of such minute dimensions as to give small worry to anyone other than a politician whose cuticle is worn thin from party buffet tins'. We seriously doubt if Taft could have heard so small a demonstration a year ago. So. sisters. Instead of adding another burden to his already heavy load of party difficulties, be charitable, and those of you who are Republicans "give your attention in a true, womanly way to preparing 1 some sort of balm for hi? wounded politi cal feelings and a tonic to toughen his epidermis to future attacks from young blood among his female op» ponents In the struggles which are sure to come. And you good old Dem ocrats, do not, we beg of you, bear down too strenuously upon him. Con sider what straits a man must be In to make such a mountain from a mole hill. Have pity also for one whoso time is so strictly confined to keeping his party in leading strings that he does not know that this "undesirable class of women" he Is so much afraid of will spoil what good might accrue from votes for women. If this* class of women votes ever spoil woman's suffrage it will be simply because men have reduced them to the point where they can be bought like other political tools. Cheer up, sisters, it is at least slightly significant that as the cause of woman's suffrage gains In power the men are beginnin-,' to clean house. They evidently feel that some ehanses are necessary before woman cumes into her own. AMICUS.
