A GENEROUS GIFT

OF the many generous offers made
by various newspapers throughout
the country, none have ever made
quite so liberal gift to its sub
scribers as The Herald is now do
ing. The present management of
The Herald proposes to place this
paper iu the front rank among the
big and great papers of the Pacific
coast and of the United States. The
offer to present every subscriber
with town lot, and thus make
them land owners in the most beau
tiful section of the United States,
is something unparalleled in modern
journalism. Antelope Valley rivals
in prOductiveness and climatic con-
ditions the most favored spots in
this Land of Sunshine.
All that is required to own a town
lot at Lancaster, in the Antelope
Valley, is to become a subscriber to
The Herald. There is no lottery at
tachment in connection with this
offer; every subscriber gets II lot
and can make his own selection
The only extra expense beyond the
subscription price of The Herald is
one dollar for notary fees in making
out the deed.

tisement on another page. Sub

the lots.

SUNSHINE FOR DE PUSH

The cabals about the city hall aud the
politicians generally have lost that anx-
ious look and do not seem to be trying
to find it again. The reason of all this
political sunshine is the reported deter
mination of the grand jury not to expert
the city offices, and IN fact to look into
no public business whatever outside of
the county books, unless citizen makes
oath that something is wrong. This ex-
.raordinary immunity of the city politi-
clan is all the more extraordinary when
we reflect on the last grand jury's report,
wherein the greatest need for grand jury
work was shown 70 be in the city. Two
years. almost have slipped away and
the records for future examinations grow
more and more unwieldy. This, how
ever, may be precedent to prevent any
more annoying discoveries of malfeasance
and emhezzlement in the city hall. De
push grinss while the taxpayer mourns.

years.

The recent slight rain storm, the initial
sprinkling of the season, is sufficient to
precipitate a consideration of the ques-
tion of good roads With the rapid in
crease in the population of this county
ject of country roads becomes one of the
most important before the people.
That Los Angeles county has about the
most Indifferent roads of any county OF
its population and general private i'm.
provement. must be admitted. AS far as
roads may be indicative of the character
and aspirations of.the people of section,
those OF this county certainly do not
speak flatteringly of the popuace. The
majority of our highways would suggest
the presence here of shiftless. ne er-do-
well class of people, thoroughly we'll
satisfied to lead a primitive existence, IN
stead of the live. progressive and enter
prising lot of people we really have. 1t
is safe to assert that practically every
resident Of this county is ambitious for
ITS prompt settlement and It's speedy de-
velopment. 1t is also safe to assert tha t
few OF these residents realize what an
important part in the building up of a
section good roads play. 1t might almost
be said that after the preliminary stages
of settlement the good road is an essen
tial factor in the rapid and economical
growth of the country.
1t is about time that the people uf this
conuty recognized these facts, ana fol.
lowed the recognition with effective
action. We have had a plenitude O.
conferences in the last year regarding the
matter but decided poverty of result.
or of even plans providing for results.
With the coming of the rainy season
and its inevitable concomitants of mud

yenlence, discomfort and expense oi

|. GOVERNMENT AND THE UNEMPLOYED

As winter approaches there is the usual
agitation on the subject of employment
for the nemployed; and of course the
paternalist is on hand with suggestions
as to how the government can best take
care of those who. merely through
lack of opportunity, are unable to sup
port themselves. Nothing could be more
erroneous than the idea that it is the
duty of civil government to provide
employment for those who may happen
to need it and who apply for it. But the
fallacy is advocated not only>by the un-
EN- ployed thems selves, but by many INTEL
ligent persons who are in comforta BILE
circumstances.
1t is never the proper function Of Il
civil government to give employm ent to
anybody for the sake of aiding those who
may want employment. 1t is true the
federal government Goes constantly EN-
ploy thousands of persons to perform
certain kinds of public work. So do the
various local governments, according to
the public nece ssitles; but that is because
the work must be done, and not because
the government is under either legal or
moral obligations TO mploy those who
want WOTR. Ii SuCn an ODllgaJlOn eX-
listed it could nowhere be justly limit as
to the nun per of persons who should be
thus paternally cared for. 1t is, however,
the duty of a civil govern ment to provide
such legislation as will afford all the peo-
pie equally free and unobstructed access
to natural resources. Having done that,
the government has performed its duty
toward the unemployed. In fact, with
natures inexhaustible storehouse released
from the grasp of monopoly there would
be no unemployed among those who real
ly wanted work. II all valuable land in
the United States were put to its best
use, there would be no idle men who
wanted employment. Government aid
for the unem ployed, in great emergen-
cy, may be proper as a makeshift; but at
best the relief afforded can be only par.
tial and mporary. The underlying
cause of idleness is the monopoly of an
element which all human beings must
use, every hour, and without which hu-
man life cannot be sustained.
Land and labor, the twin factors in
wealth production, were joined together
by the laws of nature, but mans laws
have forced them asunder Give labor
the opportunity to which it is Justly en-
titled, and it can never have any excuse
for asking the government to become its
father or its nurse.

public attention had placed them. A tax

then, which appears in comm on place
language to call for two grand jurles each
year, must be judicially interpreted to
mean Zone grand jury every two years"
The reason for two grand juries year
in large county like ours may be sum-
married. as follows:
First-The grand jury is the sole
method of the people under our system
OF exercising proper supervision over it's
officers and public business. The grand
jury is an essential feature of our system.
Its examinations not only discover
wrong-doing in public affairs, but, what
is really more important, tend 10 prevent
luxity, waste and corruption IN these.
Second-In great county like Los An
geles proper supervision and examina-
ton of the public business by grand
jury requires nearl, the entire year.
For instance, as matters now stand.
scarcely any school district, town or city
outside of Los Angeles has ever been
examined at all.
Third-No responsible and active men,
such as should exclusively com pose
grand jury, can afford an entire year,
except at great sacrifice to their work.
Fourth-Every part and parcel of the
public business should be frequently and
thoroughly oyerhauled by men as free as
possible from the usual political intlu-
ences.
Fifth-Tnis can never be done in Los
Angeles with one grand jury year.
much less with one every two years. The
citizen taxpayer must deeply regret that
the legal language saying two grand
juries shall be summoned IN one year
judicially means one grand jury in two
years.

The difficulties of my boyhood are still
fresh in my mind and still strangely inhu
ence my views of life Those early years
and they were years Of struggle-in which
bumped against human nature and studied
it, did more to strengthen me in mind and
character than anything else that has come
in my life since.
/ consider il one Of the most fortunate
things TO be born poor. The argument that
the poor young man has not an equal chance
with the rich young man is profoundly
silly. In this aye Of development, rapidity
of change and national prosperity the rise
of young man depends entirely upon his
individual and faithful effort. We have a
distinctly American disease-it is American
push. 1t Is contagious, and the sooner a
young man is seized by it the sooner will
he succeed.
It is mistake to suppose that million.
aires do not work. Probably the greatest
and saddest misunderstanding between the
rich man and the poor is that the rich man
does not know how much the poor man
suffers, and the poor man does not know
how hard the rich man works.
