HOW THEY VIEW 1T IN NEW YORK

In view of the present agitation of the
Sunday liquor question in Los Angeles,
a step taken by the New York police
commissioners last Monday is specially
noteworthy. They decided that clubs are
legally on the same level with saloons
relative to Hquor-selling on Sunday, and
henceforth the law will be enforced i'm
partially, no matter who the violators
may BIZ. That is just what should be
done in Los Angeles. The present OPP
Grafton of the law is farcical. AS the
public well know, and as The Herald has
specifically pointed out, there are many
places in the city where the law is fla
GRAVITY violated. The causes which lead
to immunity in such cases may readily
be onjectured. Not only IS the law defied
and the will of the people ignored. but
gross injustice Is done to honest and
awarding vendors. Let Sunday pro-
Libition be teetotal or nothing. Honest
liquor dealers who pay heavy local and
government Licenses should be saved
from the spectacle OF a rushing Sunday
business at favored saloons.

CREDIT ONE FOR VALXYRIe III

Valkyrie's defeat of Defender yesterday
was not one to cause any great gloom to
the hackers of the American boat, for the
victory was unquestenably the result of
the fouling done by the Valkyrie at the
start. The accident seems to have been
unav oidable and cast no discredit on the
Englishmen. The fact that the race was
not lost because Valkyre IS the better
boat is solacIng. and the contest proves
even clearer than did the first race that
Defender is the swiftsst craft of the
two. With a serious back at the start
and an injury to her sails, Defender was
only beaten by AZ seconds. while in til .
previous race when both boats were in
good shape throughout, Defender won by
minutes, 81 seconds. The logic of these
figures is unanswerable, ana Will be ad
mitted by the most fervent admirers of
the English yacht.
Lord Dunravsn has shown him self such
a thoroughbred sportsman-an English
man who needs no title to emphasize his
gentlehood-t no man can begrudge
him yesterdays victory; besides. unless
the Defender gets in the habit OF havi ing
her topsails carried away, it will nave no
effect on the result-the cup will remain
in America.

The September issue of the Western

This is saying considerable. for the West
ern Empire took rank among the first
class publications of the coast. The Sep
TENDER issue is rep!ete with illustrations
of high degree OF excellence. The full
page colored engraving of our county
court house reflects great credit upon the
publishers. This issue might pe termed
Los Angeles court house special, for not
only is there a good descriptive story OF
the court house with exterior and inte-
rior views, but the county officials are all
presented in fine half-tone illustrations.
