THE FACTS IN THE CASE

The Times, with malice prepense,
strove to convey the impression in its
court report yesterday morning that
The Herald Publishing Company had
been sued by John Bradbury on account
of stock.
As a matter Of fact, there Is not one
dollar due from The Herald to John
Bradbury and complaint filed by him
to obtain possession of a certain block Of
stock which he has held as pledge"
is an uncontested or friendly suit against
an individual.
The controlling interest in The Herald
Is outside of the stock in question, and
remains vested in the present manage
ment and will continue to do so. There
fore, warning is hereby given that any
publication at variance with the above
facts will be deemed injurious and ac-
tionable
In this connection the statement shall
be made, once for all, that The Herald
Publishing company is in as sound and
prosperous condition as any business
enterprise in Los Angeles; that there
has existed and now exists the most
entire harmony and cooperation be-
tween all of its stockholders, and thai
the paper will enter upon the new veal
with such improved facilities and new:
service as will confirm it in the affections
Of its enlarged and growing constitu
ency.

Southern California will treble her
population II her transportation lines
are multiplied by companies antagonis-
tic to the rule or ruin policy of the South

people will have to be given to all new
railway and Industrial enterprises that
would compete with Huntington's roads
and his favored commercial concerns.
The influence that Is being exerted to
have the harbor located at Santa Monica
is the same influence that would be
found opposing the construction Of any
railway or the establishing of any manu-
featuring plant that was likely to an
tagonize the cut-throat policy of the
Southern Pacific. These are things well
worth the while of the people to think
about.

THREE THINGS WANTED

Three things Los Angeles wants. and
wants right away; namely. deep water
harbor at San Pedro the extension Of
Claus Spreckels' valley road to this city,
and the construction of railway to con-
meet with the railway system centerins
at Salt Lake City. Men and money are
ready to build the roads named, but
their construction is contingent upon
San Pedro being selected for a deep
water harbor. AS business PROPOSE
ton It would be foolish to build these
roads II they had to pay tribute eternall,-
to the Southern Pacific, or to any other
corporation for the privilege of reaching
the center OF trade accumulation and
distribution. They would be like Hated
in sight Of heaven, but feeling the pangs
Of the other place.
II will be seen, therefore, that the fu-
ture of Los Angeles as a commercial me-
tgopolis hinges upon the location of the
proposed harbor. If Santa Monica is Sc
lected Los Angeles will resolve itself
into a city of rooming houses and res
taurants for the accommodation OF
tourists, but If San Pedro is selected Los
Angeles VIII become the objective point

The plea Of the interstate commerce
commission for authority to enforce its
own DEGREES is an admission that the
law becomes imperative whenever the
railways refuse to obey the rulings of
the commission The commission has
eighty-six suits now pending in the
courts to compel certain railways to
conform to its rulings, but no one knows
when the cases will be reached by the
courts. The Democratic platform adopt
ed by the Chicago convention declared
for larger powers for the commission
but the st. Louis platform made no
reference to it whatever. The Republi-
can party will be in power after March
r. and meanwhile the present congress
will refuse to act in the matter. The
railways are, therefore, not at all dis
turbed, for they know that at least for
four years more they will be able to
bury all objectionable rulings of the
commission in the archives of the
courts. Not only so, but bill has been
prepared to repeal that section of the
law which forbids railways forming pool
combinations.

LET US DO IT

Now that the winter holiday season is
over, the business men Of Los Angeles
and Of every other trade center in
Southern California should get together
and devise ways and means to inaugur-
ate revival of business. There are
material and opportunity to swell the
channels of trade and traffic. and 1t
should be done. Every business man In
Southern California knows and feels
the Importance of throwing more energy
and life into the commercial interests of
this part of the state. but somehow ev-
cry one is waiting for some other one to
take the lead. 1t is not so much because
money Is not obtainable, nor because
the people do not want goods and wares,
but because no one takes the lead to
enthuse the people. No one is blowing
Southern California's horn.
No country offers greater or better in
ducements to the industrious home
seeker than Southern California, but
home-seekers must be made acquainted
with these facts. There are plenty of
opportunities for the profitable employ
ment of capital, but they must be pointed
out to capital There is room for various
kinds Of industrial enterprises, but that
II is so must be made known to those
who are looking for such locations.
1t is a mistake to advertise Southern
California as a mere resort for invalids.
The commercial, agricultural and indus
trial possibilities of this part of the state
are vast, strong and enduring, but these
facts must be made known to people
everywhere. The threshold of the door
that opens into the wealth-producing
agencies, which nature has given to
Southern California, has scarcely been
crossed, but money, brain and Drawn
will not come and cross 1t unless
they are not only invited to come. but
are supplied with such information as
they would naturally want to have be-
fore starting. And, above all things, let
the people quit talking about hard
times" for so long as they cry hard
times, times will be hard. The way to
have good times is for every one to in
sist that times are good, and then they
will be good. Quit being pessimists.

The Times gloats over another libel
suit which it's friend Bud" Price has

Notwithstanding. The Times has not
loved The Herald since the people re-
pudiated the water combines candidate
for mayor, whom the Times vigorously
supported. and elected The Heraid's
candidate by an overwhelming majority,
and hence it delights in magnifying libel
suits against The Herald. In this con-
nection it might be suggested that the
utmost legitimate value that could be
placed upon the Times plant would
not be equal to 10 per cent of the sum
total of the libel suits that have been
brought against it, and which are now

cause, It is certain the membership Of
Simpson tabernacle are by no means
pleased with the action of their pastor
The church has had, rather more than its
share of misfortunes in the past, but
think the ill-advised and wholly unex-
pected action of the reverend gentleman
is generally regarded by nine-tenths Of
the membership as the worst that has
yet occurred in the annals Of the church.
Expressions to that effect are not at all
difficult to obtain in the circles of the
sanctuary.
So far as the Ministerial union Is con-
cerned, professional usage, or perhaps I
should say, courtesy, compels members
to sustain brother to the last extrem-
ity. The case of Rev. c. o. Brown. late
of California. is an instance to this ef-
feet. However, l am glad to say that in
private few clergymen, and l have spok-
en- to several myself and heard the opin-
ions of others, are willing to endorse the
methods of Mclean.
One brother says that he (McLean)
has shown altogether too much DISPOSE
ton to gain notoriety. The advertise
ment of the church is posted in the Ma
deau reading room and other public
places-not simple announcement Of
services, but with a photograph of DR..
Mclean as he might have looked on his
25th birthday. This harmless vanity
on the part of the preacher is significant
in connection with his recent perform
ances.
1t is proper that attention should be
called to this matter. 1t Is to be regret
ted the affair occurred. Friends there
are of DIR. Mclean who believe that his
motives were of the best. There are
others. But in his case perhaps We
should follow the admonition of St.
Paul and use charity. To quote the
apostle Charity suffereth long and is
kind Charity vaunteth not itself; is not
puffed up. Doth not behave itself un-
seemly, is not easily provoked. thinketh
no evil"
And although I beetow all my goods
to feed the poor, and although I give my
body to be burned. and have not charity,
1t profiteth me nothing" A. F. X.
