THE BRASS BAND IN BUSINESS

The advent in Los Angeies Of the brass
band as factor in real estate sales,
which occurred this week, brings wildly
to mind the wild boom days" of nine
and ten years ago. 1t also suggests the
possibility that this city may now be on
the eve of another period of inflated
prices, exaggerated expectations and
reckless speculation. 1t is to be hoped
that such is not the case. Those who ex-
perienced the boom of n few years ago
have not forgotten "how the old thing
WORRIED nor has the picture of desola-
tion which followed in the boom's wake
become entirely effaced from their mem.
cries. For few months Los Angeles
was the lvcliest place of its size in the
United States. All kinds of legitimate
business, and a few that were illegltimate,
fourished as never before. Money was
poured out and blown i'm as freely as
water; prices of really ran mp. up, up,
every day, and almost nourly; men and
women in all the walks of life became
real estate agents to certain extent, and
IN ore way or another; the brass band was
freely utilized TO hel p boom the boom;
nearly everybody who had little m oney
invested it in piece of mother earth, and
those who had no money paid for
land with promise, to pay. Thus small
fortunes we're made in q week and large
ones in month.
But, of course, such a condition could
not last always. The inevitable reaction
came, and while a few jun ped from un-
der in time to save them seevs, large
majority we're soon crowded into finan-
cal purgatory. Thus did the people learn
by bitter experience the important lesson
that speculation in a natural element is
rot wealth production, and that in rder
to insure healthy conditions and perma-
nent growth in a community, the people,
as a rule. must engage in productive en-
terprises of some sort. The mere turn
ing over town lots and outside acres will
not produce buildings, factories, goods
or any Others among the innumerable
things which human wants call for.
La Dor applied to natural elements fur
nishes these things, and by no other
means can they be produced.
The brass band in business should GER.
tainly not be frowned down. 1t is a
harmless and, indeed, very agreeable
adjunct in the sale of property, es pecially
in the sale uf real estate at auction. The
footing of brass instruments and the
booming OF the bass drum are very ap-
prouriate accomplishments to the going,
going gone of the brass-throated but
modest and truthful auctioneer. Bu t
while these attractions are getting in
their work it Is we'll for everybody to
keep in mind that Los Angeles is now
growing rapidly and healthfully, and
that such a growth is vastly more benefi-
ciai to all classes of people than boom
bubble which woul1 soonsr or later burst
and spread large quantities of desolatlon
through the community.

AusTRIA'S SUGGESTION

One of the least progressive of the
European powers, Austria, leads in pre-
senting an actual suggestion Tor the 80
luton Of the vexatious Turkish problem.
In brief, Austria'S proposition is that
the present sultan of Turkey pc deposed
and That prince pledged to the enforce
ment Of such governmental reforms as
the powers may agree on, be installed in
his stead. The scaeme also includes the
formation of a com I'll isson, composed OF
repre- sentUtives OF the powers, to super
wise tne introduction OF the reforms. Of
course this means practical destruction
of the sovereignty of Turkey.
The Austrian plan, if carried out in
good faith, would most probably lead to
immediate and permanent betterment OF
she condition OF the unfortunate Armen-
tans. But the execution Of such a plan
may be seriously doubted. In the first
place it is questionable whether the pow
ers will unanimously agree to the deposit
tion of the sultan ana the rule Of he OF
toman empire by specially appointed
prince subject more or less to the die,
tates of commission. Such course
might imperil the balance of power
Tnlch mas Deed 50 Jealously guarded
The action of the commission appointed
ia direct the new head of the Turkish
government would of course always be
determined by "a certain proportion OF
the body--a majority, or posi- bly, two
thirds-as may be agreed on IN the 1on-
vention which would provide for the com.
mission. 1t would doubtless be easier for
certain members of that commission to
form con- binatIons in behalf OF their re-
SpecliVe governments than it is for the
governments themselves to do at present.
Thus Turkey destiniss and interests
could be shaped by certain powers at the
expense OF or to the peril of the other
lovers.
1t is altogether probable that the selec-
tion OF prince 70 succ.ed the sultan

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2l.-U ollector
Wise has received the plans and specitica-
tiors of the new revenue boats that are to
be built for this port. Two boats are pro-
vided for in the specifications. One IL to

c. p. Huntington's Arrival

c. P. Huntington aad party passed
through the city yesterday afternoon III
their special train, en- route for Santa
Monica. The train reached the Acrade
depot at 4:25. merely stopping long
enough to receive telegrap pho orders. To-
day Mr.. Huntington will return to hold
a conference with the local officials of
the road. His present iaunt is one OF in
spection more than anything else.
Though bis destination is New York, he
does not expect to reach that point until
some time in January, asa he will pass
over as many branches as possible on the
Sunset route.

would cause disssnsion among the pow
ers, with consequent delay IN ameliorat-
ing the condition of the distressed Ar
menians.
The leading governments OF Europe
have thorough and justiiable distrust
OF each other. A we'll developed con-
seriousness of zach others grsed stimu-
lates cesseless vigilance and q sleePlsss
suspicion. The honor that tradition has
established as a quantity in the co-ps rt-
ncrships OF thieves seems to be :, very in
considerable element in European COM
binations. The chief efforts of the states
men-it is an open question whether the
application of this term to many of the
conspicuous factors of European politics
is not an abuse of the languags-seems di-
rected to devising ways OF evading the
conditions OF the covenants into whic b
their respective governments have en-
tered.
Being in this state of mutual distrust-,
months might elapse bsfore n prince
event OF Austrias plan meeting APP
prevail.
Whatever is dons to relieve and protect
the oppressed and menacsd Armsnians
should DE accom- plishsd speedily, 'or at
the present rate of murder and destruc-
ton there will soon be no Armenian lives
and property to need the guardianship
of the powers. The d plom ATTIC reprssen.
tations, vigorous rs they have been, seem
to nave had little practical effect on the
government of the crescent and the star.
The wanton slaughter of men, women
and children, accompanied by the gross
est outrages and indeosncies the details
of which cannot be published in news
paper with propriety, continues at about
the same rate as befors the protest OF the
powers was placed before the porte.
Probably the most effectual way TO re-
lieve the helpless Armenans would be to
separate their province from the Turkish
empire and grant to them complete au-
tonomy under the joint protection of
the great overs. This method of settle.
ment would have the merit of giving
them a government of their own without
in any way disturbing the delicatoly adj
iusted balance of power between the
various nations of Europe. OF course
the 'sick man" would give vent to a
lusty wall at the bare prospect Of losing
the much abused province, but to the
majority of the civilized people of the
world his protest would count for little.
He long since forfeited any right to even
decent cons Iteration.

1t Is announced that the recently Or
ganized mIlkmen's association intends TO
insist on the sale of none but honest
milk, even though the price has to be ad
vanred. This is n move in the right
direction and is decidedly more legiti-
mate object than the one previously
stated of opposing the milk inspector. 1t
is not quite clear that the price of milk
needs elevation, but pure milk at ad-
vanced prices is preferable to the Trash at
the present rates.

Old Glory
TO EUGENE Y. DEBs
Thou art Freedoms child, Old Glory,
Born Of Freedoms high desire,
Nursed amid the battles ire,
Tried by thunderbolt and fire,
On the field and on the tide
Where our heroes, side by side
Followed thee and fought ana died
Gazing on thy stars, OLD Glory.
We will stand by thee, Old Glory,
On the land and on the waves,
For our babes ana for our graves,
Though we stand or fall as slaves.
For thy stars are not TO blame
For this treason, fraud and shame
That pollute thy holy name
In our Lalls of state, Old Glory.
knaves have stolen thee, Old Glory,
For their Babylon an bowers;
From their festal walls and towers
Droops the flag that once was ours;
Ger their crimes thy beauty trails,
And the old-time answer fails
When from chaingangs, courts and
iails
Men appeal to thee Old Glory.
Be our shield o ICE more, Old Glory!
Lo, the world in travail pain
Turns and pleads to thee in vain
While through plundeTed vale and
plain
Stripped and bruised py licensed
thieves,
Starving, begging for her sheaves,
Outcast labor trdmps and grieves,
With no hel p from thee, Old Glory.
Wa will rescue thee, Old Glory!
Bloodless may the process be,
Peaceful as the yearning sea
Anchored to the MINDLESS lee
But II peace cannot avail,
Welcome tidal wave md gale
Welcome lightning fame and hail
ill tns vary stars turn pale
ln the grander light, Old Glory.
If it must be so, Old Glory
Ii blind error smite with force
Truth and justice al their source,
Suns and planets in their course
Let the earthquake lift the deep,
Let the wild floods wake from sleep.
Let the crouching Terrors leap,
And whers God own toilers reap
We will carry thee, Old Glory.
