UNDESIRED IMMIGRANTS AT THE Episcopal com-cntion of the diocese of Los Angeles, Bishop Johnson said: "With the comple tion of the Panama canal there will come to us in swarms vast numbers of emigrants from foreign countries. These hordes muet be brought instantly into touch with Christian influence which will shape and form their lives after the best American ideals, or the consequence! will be appalling. This, however, is purely a personal, civic or social estimate of the situation. We, you and I, must regard it from a still higher position than that. God will bring these people here to this coast With a purpose. Such as they are, they will come to us, ami It will lie within our power as Christian men so to pre pare the way that when they arrive God may the more easily lead them and guide them." This statement by the good bishop fdvt-s warning thie tendency of some steamship companies will be to yield to the temptation of bringing Europeans directly to our sunny shores from the Mediterranean and the "back kitchen" of Europe. With many slum-bound Americans eager for an opportunity to seek new conditions, and with many rural Ameri cans rushing across the border to Can ada to escape hard times, it Rhould be comparatively easy to attract to Cali fornia by way of the canal a highly superior c-la.ss of Americans. AA'e are receiving plenty of, warning of what may happen to our Pacific coast popu lation unless timely steps are taken to defend it from an undesirable swarm. As we have learned from experience to bo o>. guard against an undesirable Oriental rush, let us be forewarned and forearmed against an equally un desirable rush from Southern Europe and Northern Africa. PADRES AND PIONEERS SAN BERNARDINO celebration called public attention to the deep obligation of this state to the pioneer padres of the missions. What the Pilgrim Fathers were to the Atlantic coast those Franciscan monks were to the Pacific. And, in the, eloquent language of Bishop Conaty, "the unselfish bene faction of mankind if greater than the noblest work of art from the hand of the greatest genius. Commercialism may not regard benevolence as an I asset, but it is well for us nc forget that there is no greater bless ing in a community than that which ..iines from the life Of one who lives and labors to mi k> men better. There is no higher example of un than that which is found in one laboi iuK to uplift a down-troddm and neg lei it-.] race. This Is real heroism. This is Christ-like." pioneers of the <• t —pioi of fin Pilgrims and Padres In religious creeds further apart tl< breadth of a continent—but in their deeds "men and brethren. '■ Americans of today look back to them as they .stand in the mists of the gray mom ing Ot the country's history, and in tiieli nobility of character. th< lr self- Hiirrifl. c, their high resolves and their ■WMlflah devotion to duty find con stant inspiration. THE COMET lif] ODS Oloryin tho "<"avi'ns" waa I I T the title of an oM-ttme astro " nomical work. The eclipse of the moon and the ievela.tl.vn of the comet last nlfrht were Impressive to all who believe the heavens declare the glory of Ood, as well as to those who prefer to accept a strictly scientific view of natural phenomena. Persons accustomed to hearing every fenture and phase of the natural world explained In terms of science were not free from the glamour of the eerie spec tacle. Without scientific explanation, how strange might have been the inter pretation put by "the wise men" In the j emergence, during tho dusk of th« beav*na when the moon was dimmed, of a mysterious stellar apparition? And even with scientific explanation, who is prepared to answer the ques- j tlon: In the economy of the universe, | what is tho useful purpose of the ' comet ? GOOD ROADS ACCORDING to an announcement. Investigation of Rood roods will be begun Thursday. Taxpayers are anxious the investigation should be complete. Honesty is never afraid of a probe; and the public is entitled to Jtnow nil the fact« With reeard to good roads construction. The public has a right to expect the very best in workmanship, the utmost honesty in execution. With confidence in the committee of investigation, the people expect these gentlemen will Rive them businesslike answers to the ques tions: Are the taxpayers getting the worth of every dollar voted for good roads" Is the work being performed In a manner that will assure the com munity the good roads to which it is entitled? The highway investigation is of great moment and the people expect it to be THOROUGH. TARIFF HUMBUG ATTACK on the tariff is character ized by plain speaking. Repre sentative Champ Clark denounced the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill as a transparent humbug. Representative Eugene N T. Foss. a former Republican and a leading manufacturer, sail the recent revision was "a* deliberate bunco game from start to finish." Ami the language of denunciation i-s Justi fied by the facts in the case. The ultimate consumer will have to pay the tariff. The tariff becomes a tax imposed on the people of the United States. Edmund Norton, a specialist, has conducted an Investigation of high prices, and gives the following illum inating example of a price's progress: "Let us start from England with a dollar's worth of stuff. This prire w> will accept as simply a fact. Say we pay a 10-cent freight on the ocean, a r,n p.-r cent tariff at the custom bouse. Here we have price added to price till it Is now 100 plus 10 plus 50, or 160 cents in price after crossing the tariff line. Now we send it by railroad to the middle west, say 10 cents freight again, price 170 cents. We sell it there for an advance of only 10 cents, price 180 cents. Capital invested by the pur chaser ISO cents, who sells it to the ultimate consumer with added profit of 10 per cent, 18 cents, and we have a price of IPS cents. This total is paid by the ultimate consumer. If we restate the matter we have: Original stuff 100, ocean freight 10, tariff 50, railroad 10, agent's charge 10, seller's profit IS, ultimate consumer ISR. The ultimate consumer is punished heavily by a process which we cannot possibly regard as "protection." MONARCHY SINCE the German nation confesses peace or war depends on ono man's word, It is well that the kaiser Is showing a determination to preserve the peace of the world, and has even become popular among the British, who for a while distrusted him Intensely. But is it not odd that in the twentieth century, the century of de mocracy, the peace of the world should be threatened by any Individual? London has been swarming with monarchs at a royal funeral. Until all the reigners were assembled, it was difficult to realize that most of the en lightened continent of Europe was still king-ridden. And why should the de mocracy of Britain, where the present government Is radical, tolerate a royal succession and bind another king on Its back at a time when the traditional standing of the house of lords is called in question? The British position seems paradoxi cal. Is it not probable that behind the attitude of democracy there is the ex pectation that the kins's signature may be needed in effecting a constitu tional revolution? That his hereditary privilege may be used for the creation of Radical peers to vote the gilded chamber out of existence? PROTECT THE BIRDS ANNUAL meeting of the Audubon \ society Of California will he held •£-«- fit the chamber of commerce Sat urday. The protection of bird life is of great importance to the state from the practical as well as the senti mental point of view. When a cat kills a bird, or a small boy robs a nest, Insect life injurious to plants and fruits is encouraged, Birds are essential to the economy of nature; and the Audubon society has to some extent abated the prejudice of the rancher and fruit grower against all the feathered tribe. There could be no greater misfortune for fruit growers and farmers than the destruction of bird life; and there is still opportunity for much enlightening missionary work on the subject of the protection of the birds that really pro ti-ct and do not injure fruit growers and farmers. LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1010. GOOD GOVERNMENT CONDITIONS in Greater Los An geles have been improved so vastly under good government it is confidently to be expected the work of good government will be carried Into the social conditions and life of the city. There is danger that with metropolitan conditions there may be some temptation to abandon the tra ditional methods of housing which made Los Angeles the city of homes, even the poorest citizen dwelling un der his own vine and fig tree. The tenement house evil should be kept out of Los Angeles. The tenement house leads to slum conditions, and Los An geles can get along very well without the degrading conditions of the slums which characterize many eastern cities. The housing commission should be supported loyally in its effort to keep slums out of Greater Los Angeles. Good government has deserved and won commendation for its success In eliminating vice from the city. An enemy may occasionally whoop over an Important discovery of an alleged "den" of some kind, but that only prove? constant vigilance is the price of good government and of social pur ity. In a great city like Los Angeles it Is impossible to stop crime and vice. But It is possible to take measures for their suppression and repression. Tills city does not tolerate vice, and cannot afford to tolerate slums, because slum conditions foster vice. We believe the tenement house question will be "tackled" manfully by the good gov ernment forces, and that Los Angeles •will continue to be the city of elbow room and fresh air, of health as well as of wealth and prosperity. Friends of Captain Amos A. Fries, who as t'nited States district engineer stationed here rendered valuable serv ices to this community in connection with harbor improvement, will be pleased to Wrn that he may be nd vanced to the rank of major. His promotion will depend on the success of the bill pending- in congress for increasing tin- engineering force of the army; and our citizens will •'root" for the success of the measure and of the gallant anil able captain. American Association of Labor Legis lation is engaged in :t vigorous c-.i'n iKiitrn for reform of Industrial condi tions, It in advocating standardization of occupations with reference to hours of work for women and to the employ ment of children. Child labor la*s must be uniform in every part of the Union before satisfactory results can be looked for. Dr. Brougher was greatly daring when he asked "Do men gossip more than women?" Of late years—and sine- women began to assert their rights—an impression has gained Strength that women's reputation for talkativeness Is based chiefly on men's loquacity concerning this alleged femi nine peculiarity. Champ Clark says the tariff ll a subject which will not down at any man's bidding. In fact, it will continue to be uapermost until there is B satis factory, square-deal settlement; and we are saiVl" 1"6 enough to hope that will surely come this Hide or the millen nium. Frora Chicago comes the news an Old horse has been pensioned for life; and from New York that a former Judge and a once celebrated actor are in the. almshouse. Old age pensions for horses, but not for men! What? Two French counts wounded each other in a duel. This dueling business U becoming serious. Evidently the duelists are beginning to take them selves in earnest. It . a blessing that faithful and con stant lervtoi in some degree ti bles virtue. It is its own reward. Never Mind, Oscar IT WILL BE OUT OF ONE HOLE INTO ANOTHER State Press Echoes FLANNERY AFFAIR The Plannery affair In San Francisco Is an other blow to the prestige of that city. Here Is a man at the head of the police and fire commission making a pact with a swindler by which the latter will be protected In a certain poolroom enterprise.

WHY WOMEN ARE UNFITTED FOR THE WORK MEN PERFORM ■ LOS ANGELES, May 21.—[Editor Herald]: The answers to my questions chiefly avoid the general principles upon which they were based and con fine themselves to citing personalities and therefore exceptions to the rule. By the space limitations of the Letter' Box wo must necessarily confine ourselves to first principles and can not enlarge on particulars. One an swer was that God created them, male and female, and therefore entitled to the same rights. I say that from birth and inclination they are different and therefore not fitted for the same occupations. Innate faculties In boys incline them to break things, and also to make them, while girls will orna ment and preserve them. Initiation and creation are masculine qualities. In literature and art, which are large ly creative and imaginative, where a few women excel they work at the expense of the best feminine qualities; they develop masculine traits of char acter and even put on hard masculine faces, for the face Is the mirror of the mind; they lose the power of fascinat ing man and cannot keep one when obtained. Is not marriage the chief purpose for which they were created male and female? And is it not very evident that women with a career make a failure of marriage and motherhood? That women act from the heart af factions rather than the head Is very noticeable from their (spoiling so many children with indulgences and not pun ishing them when necessary. In most •cases when Johnnie has done some out rageous act that the mother cannot put up with she waits till the hus band comes home and makes him the executioner. Even so, In the last re sort, the men will have to do the work and set aright the mischief that wo men when left to themselves will get This country was built up by the energy, ingenuity and enterprise of American manhood—of course with the assistance, support and inspiration of womanhood, which is in order and ought to be. When men shall have so far degenerated as to become unfit for governing, that duty will naturally faiiy° nanrer n to M. V. L. is that if ever a woman shall duplicate the qual ities of a Roosevelt, which are most needful in civic government. I will agree with her. *-• *,• UPHOLDS WOMEN IN FIGHT FOR EQUAL VOTING RIGHTS WASHINGTON. D. C. May 18. --[Editor Herald]: If C. F. Mixes his drinks as badly as his logic, he has our sympathy. his queries of May 11. in answer to his queries of J4ay 11. we reply. First—That the combined at tributes which C. F. concedes to be the lotnt possession of the sexes are neces s'irv in any well-governed concern, either home, nation, or business M tablisment. Who can truthfully de clare that women of.today are not in tellectual, or that thSy are deficient in the ability to reason? Secondly—no. Women are influenced largely by men In their political view*. They admit that the chief object of their desire for the ballot is the up lifting of their own sex. Third—Observation leads to the con clusion that woman is laying aside sentiment. Not only is this bo among woman who advocate the suffrage; it is prevalent among that large and ever- Increasing class of childless married women, yea, even among women who nave the sweetening influence of moth erhood, this much lauded "intellect and reason" is tailing the place of sen- UFourth-It Is the God-given privi lege of every human being to do the best it can for itself. If woman feels that she can better her condition by the use of the ballot, man should do one of two things— make her condition as near perfection as possible by eliminating the wrongs she claims she is seeking to adjust by the use of the ballot, or give her the franchise and let her do her own work.
