HEWlNG TO THE LINE

In an incident of minor importance comparatively,
the police commissioners evinced quality their
meeting is pleasing the people of Los Angeles.
The quality alluded is spinal rigdity commonly
known backbone 1t is quality that is appreciated,
particularly because of its apparent rarity in high
places at the city hall
The incident in question was the turning down by
the police commission of a proposition trivial in itself,
that had the backing of powerful railway company.
To be specific the Salt Lake Railway company wished
to the site of saloon continguous to its local
tion at First street A site owned by the company
by, the opposite side of the street. satisfactory
to the dispenser of liquors exchange The rail-
way officials alleged agreed to transfer of
the saloon license the location primary con-
sideration The deal made and showing of
the situation the police commissioners authorized the
change in the saloon site.
Now the particular saloon referred to is the only one
in the Ninth ward and it would not be in existence but
for that it antedates the establishment the
saloon zone When the people living in the neighbor-
hood the site heard of the proposed change they
we're instantly "up in arms" against proposition
and a protest to the police commissioners was the
result.
Responding the voice of these people and acting
in direct opposition the wishes of the railway COM
pany the commissioners promptly rescnded their former
action and if that old landmark of the liquor traffic
moves at all the move will have be outside of the
Ninth ward. There is unwritten admoniton in that
ward to the effect that mo saloonkeepers need apply"
The Salt Lake railway officials were not blamable
for endeayorng to shun the saloon the opposite side
of the street in order get possession of desired
property. They never suspected, probably that the
change would be Objectionable to residents of the
neghborhood Only the audable action of the commits
sioners in the matter makes the incident worthy of
especial notice

SOCIAL DIARY
AND GOSSIP
BY GRACE GRUNDY
"Mad Hat Tea"

Decidedly unique and change from
the usual run of receptions was the
mad hat tea" given yesterday after
noon by Mrs. Marian Gordon Norman
of Albany street. Mrs. Norman enter
tained in honor of the music section of
the Wednesday Morning club, receiving
about twenty guests in a charming
garden. Every guest was requested to
wear the "maddest" hat she could man
age to construct, and such models of
the milliners' art as they were have
never before been seen. One of them
was actually said to be five feet wide
and three feet high and was trimmed
with an assortment from every kind of
flower ever grown and some that were
limitations of none that had ever been
specimen was adorned with feathers
of many different varieties. When the
guests appeared in these creations they
created much merriment, and other
features introduced during the after
noon added to 1t.
Advertising pictures were pasted
over the fence in the back garden and
the company INDUCED in a guessing
contest with a view to finding out what
the pictures represented. A minstrel
show was another amusing feature, ana
the tragic version of Mary had little
lamb" given by Mrs. Norman, was
voted classic. Mrs. William Kane
gave Hamlet up-to-date, and Mrs.
Barry sang a coon song with guitar
accompaniment. Mrs. Foster and Miss
Grace Norton also contributed to the
program with some choice stunts y
Mrs. Norman poured tea at a dainty
table set on the lawn and the afternoon
ended with an old-fashioned Virginia

Apollo Clubs Open House

The Apollo club kept "open house"
for it's members and friends Tuesday
evening at Temple auditorium annex.
The occasion was an extra" night,
given for the purpose of maintaining
the social spirit that has been the
handspring in preserving the splendid
esprit du corps among the members
and making it the greatest oratorio
organization in the state in point of
numbers as well as in musicianly
spirit. The entertainment committee
of the club had provided for the MEM
bers' enjoyment a musical and literary
program. Vocal and instrumental Sc
lections, couple of whistling solos
and some readings comprised the pro-
gram, and two of the delightful fea-
lures were the piano selection given
by Mrs. KellylCampbel and the whist
ling of Miss Bessie Riffenburg. The
club closes its seasons work the latter
part of the month. when the popular
modern cantata, "The Rose Maiden" i"
will be sung. Rehearsals are being
held regularly at Masonic temple every
Monday evening.

AS BUSINESS MEN VIEW IT

The consensus of opinion among Los Angeles bust
concerning the saloon issue has been clearly
and forcefuly expressed.
The vote taken on the no-saoon proposition by the
Merchants and Manufacturers association shows that
the business men this city opposed to it in the
proportion of about to /.
That overwhelming sentiment is voiced in the resolu
ons adopted formally by the directors of the associa
ton as printed in yesterdays Herald.
This decisive test of sentiment in the business
munity atests the correctness Of The Herad's judg
ment the question: expressed frequently since the
antisaloon movement started All sagacious men
of affairs see plainly that the total elimination of the
saloons in this city of nearly 100000 inhabitants would

community That conviction is expressed concisely in
this extract from the resolution adopted by the repre-
sentaves of the citys business interests
I'VE as an association, are thoroughly in accord with
the proper regulation of the liquor traffic through the
proper authorities and positively opposed to the dras
outlined the advocates of antiliquor
legislation believing that prohibition will be dis
it's effects the commercial interests of
Angeles and Southern California"
The difference between the attitude Of the business
men of Los Angeles and that of the nosaloon advo
Gates is the difference between the practical teachings
Of experience side and the influence of sentiment
and emotion on the other side.
The thoughtful business who is doing his full
share in the upbuldng of Los Angeles looks at all
questions affecting the public veal in practical light
He is not theorst experimenter He takes the
view that Los Angeles is eclpsng all
American cities in growth and prosperity he is unwl-
ing to try experiments proclaimed for betterment,
particularly he that similar experiments have
invariably proved to failures when tried in other
communities
The action of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association cannot fail to appreciation of all
classes thoughtful non-emotional citizens of
Angeles.

Is not the state law concerning drug store EN-.
poyes in conflict with the federal constitution? Is not
that law essentially identical with the New York law
concerning employees in bakeries which the United
States supreme court last week declared to be uncon
stitutional? The California drug store law prohibits
employees from working than sixty hours in a
week The law became operative last Sunday, and it
will cause average loss to the employees as stated
of about IS week. In the New YORK. case the bakers
were similarly prohibited from working more than
ten hours day The court decided that such restrie-
tion. reducing employees earning capacity "is in
violation OF the fourteenth amendment of the federal
constitution"
