TWO GOOD SUGGESTIONS

Editor Herald Being interested, to-
gether with all good citizens in the
water proposition, 1 would like to make
suggestion or two. If, as I saw
stated, it will be necessary to "raise"
the water at least once in it's journey
from the Owens valley to the city, the
expense will be considerable. Now, can
that expense not be materially reduced
by getting power from some of the
mountain streams, as we'll as from the
fall of the water itself after leaving the
reservoir?
Furthermore, it seems to me that the
city can derive an immense amount Of
power from the water as it nears the
city by putting in turbine wheels in
many places, which will not foul the
water, and thus generate enough elec-
tricity to light the city, besides having
power for other purposes. w. L. c.

THE STAND TOGETHER" HABIT

The most notable characteristic of the people Of
Los Angeles, viewed by outsiders, exhibited in
all its glory in connection with the water bond election
1t is the stand together pecuarity Never before was
1t exhibited with greater earnesness and determination
Although always is in evidence when the interests
Of the community are at stake the main position on the
water question was more intense than heretofore be-
the issue the most important in the citys
history.
Los Angeles is unit practically, on this question
it is all other questions that involve the progress
of the CITY, AS the exception proves the rule" the
small adverse vote the proposition only brought out
in stronger light the splendid spectacle of public unity
in behalf of the present prospective interests OF Los
Angeles
That spectacle Of practically unanimous vote for
the greater system speaks volumes for the cys
future. 1t gives notice ITO all whom 1t may concern
that this community will tolerate movement aimed
to check it's unparalleled growth and prosperity And
it gives particular notice such snakes in the grass
as the yellow peril imported from New York, in the
guise of newspaper that this is not healthfu habitat
for a knocker who would njure Los Angeles for the
sake of subscribing political personal interests
To the scores of thousands in the east who are
closely watching the evolution of Los Angeles this last
exhibition of the stand together principle will be evil
enough of future adhesion in all matters affecting
the city's interests. Those people far away will be
strongly attracted than before by the splenou
spirit of determination manifested in undertaking
project so formidable the just assumed To the
attractions of climate and natural beauty there is
added in the minds of people abroad, admiration
for the pluck and shoulder-toshoulder courage that
characterzes this community and which have just been
so signally displayed.
And the smaller number OF observers IN the nortn
land who are inclined knock" Los Angeles the rec
ord of the election Thursday is especially commend
ed. Those figures attest fact which The Herald fire.
ouently has pointed out in a friendly way, for the
guidance of northern communities. That is the point
aforesaid that the citizens of Los Angeles always have
and always will stick together" tighter than sheets
of v paper when the growth glory Of their city
involved.
There is enough food for thought in the election
figures of last Thursday keep all the Los Angeles
Knockers at home and abroad, ruminating in the
months ahead.

MORE CRITICISM OF LOS ANGELES

II is an anborism that "our best friends those
who tell us of faults, and all recognize how help
full it would be if power the gift would give us
.o see ourselves as others us" Honest and good
natured criticism always should be welcomed rather
than condemned. such censorious writer's as at
times come from Europe and write up" America and
its people afford useful gleanngs from their har
vest.
Probably there is not another city in the United
States that is so exhausvey written up by all sorts OF
people and in every variety ofstyle as is Los Angeles
Almost invariably the efforts commendatory, but
there is enough of caustc criticism to give spice and
flavor to the standard dish Just there happens to
be In hand the observations of tourist from Missouri
expressed in the columns of the Marshall Progress
He says:
Here in Los Angeles Getty angels, the streets are

But the critic rather inconssteny follows the above
observations by citing examples OF old friends from
Missouri who prospering here
AS a matter of fact, there are thousands of native
Missourians now residents of the city and county Of
Los Angeles who examples of prosperity and hap

citizens of Los Angeles natives of "old Missouri"
Tho visitor from Marshall evidently has taken only
cursory view of Los Angeles. He is likely to come
again. however first visitors usually do And it is
not improbable that he will be numbered ere long,
among the thousands of thriving citizens who turned
their backs on Missouri and struck for the Golden
state.

WOULD LET CITIZENS BUY
Suggestion Made by Angeleno Regard.
ina Sale of Bonds


Editor Herald: Now that the bonds
have carried by such an overwhelming
majority 1 have a suggestion to make.
and that is that the citizens be given a
chance to buy them If it can be done
legally. Subscriptions can be begun
at once, the bonds to be delivered as
soon as they are ready. If at that time
all are not subscribed, 1t will be time
enough to offer them to the banks;
but I am confident that the issue will
be oversubscribed, in which case the
smallest subscriptions should be filed
first This will be a new departure
here, but 1t is the rule in France where
It has been found to work we'll. am
certain that there are thousands of per-
sons in this town who will prefer this
form of investment to that of having
their savings lying idle in the banks
and old stockings. Very sincerely.

HONOR TO WHOM DUE

The same energetic push that has made the water
project a certainty will be in evidence throughout the
work of construction. No grass will grow under the
feet of the officials who charged with the prosecu
ton of the work. All recognize the Importance of max
ing practical start without the needless loss of day.
Plenty of water but vast undertaking must
be consummated before the water is tap in Los
Angeles.
Fortunately for the people of this city the big job
is in the hands of in whom all have implicit
fdence Both the construction and the financial fea-
lures of the work will be in the control Of faithful and
competent officials There will be nothing of expert
mental character in the matter, the in the
breach have abundanty proved their capabiy for the
new undertaking. That they will the city
satisfactorily in the they have in the past
unquestionabe.
And now that those officials about to take up the
second feature of the water proposition, having
the admiration Of the community for their success
in the preliminary part it is only just to make acknow
edgment of inestimabe service they already have
rendered All citizens realize the sense of public OBJ
legation what been done in the first stage Of the
water proposition and all will be ready to unite in sup
porting the faithful public servants in the great work
confronting them.

Ex-Congressman From CALIFORNIA
sion Of California there were five meas
ures that were bones of contention.
AS has been said, there were then
giants in the senate-Webster, Clay,
Calhoun and Benton. Chase, Seward
and Summer shone eminently as orators
on the anti-slavery side. That session
of congress was the longest In our his
tory except one. In no session were so
many great speeches delivered. The
one that created the most attention
was that by Senator Benton of Mis-
souri, on the Omnibus Bill" which
was a bill that put together the FIVE
measures mentioned. The speech only
fell short of Webster's reply to Hayne.
1t was replete with argument against
combination legislation, with classical
Illustrations and crushing sarcasm.
Benton and Clay had been strenuous
opponents during the administrations
OF President Jackson. Clay, who was
always a compromiser, procured the
appointment of committee which
ing the five measures. Benton at
tackled the bill, especially because the
purpose was to coerce members to vote
for measures they we're opposed to In
order 10 get others they favored. Clay's
position as chairman of the committee
made him the chief target.
The night the committee was author
ized Clay made a speech of triumph.
Benton in opening his speech against
the Omnibus Bill' said:
when the senator from Kentucky
was here before he was accustomed to
treat the country to dishes of distress.
Since his return, after an absence of
some years, he has resorted to his for
mer habit. He now pictures the coun-
try as suffering from fierce, gaping
wounds, represented by the five fingers
of his right hand, and if the senator
had more fingers the country would
have more gaping wounds"
Reply to Clay
Alluding to Clay's speech the night
the committee was appointed, he said:
1.-THE senator was exceedingly happy
that night. He congratulated the SEN
ate the country and himself on the ap-
pointment of the committee, six from
the north, six from the south, and he
installed as chairman de una medie-
tate"
Then he quoted from Lucan on the
apotheosis of a Roman emperor:
Press not too much on any part the
sphere;
Hard were the task thy weight divine to
Ger the mid orb more equal shalt thou
And with a juster balance fix the
The Omnibus Bill' was defeated,
which relieved the California bill from
the danger of being dragged down by
the others All the five measures
were finally passed, California being
the first.
California came into the union be-
fore the country had a glimpse of
what the Pacific coast was destined
to be. In these days we are able to
forecast the future. 1t is now more
fully realized than hitherto that what
Berkeley said several centeries ago was
prophetic. Today, California occupies
a position in regard to the earth's
progress second to no part of America
or of the world. The growth Of her
present and future greatness had Its
incipiency in her triumph in achieving
statehood and under circumstances
original and unique.
