THE IDEAL No-SALooN CITY

single example is pointed to by all local no-saoon
enthusiasts proof of the wisdom of abolishing all
saloons in Los Angeles and other large cities. The ex-
ample alluded to is Cambridge, a suburb of Boston,
from which is separated by the Charles river Cam
bridge is the seat of Harvard university and is recog
nzed the sorehouse of Boston culture. 1t is stad
old town that dates away back to $780, only ten years
after the landing of the Mayhower It's present popula
ton is about onehalf the population of Los Angeles
and is composed largely of good and thrifty people
do business in Boston and love quiet home life,
Cambridge is nice town, but the only available
example of benefits derived from the elimination of
saloons it is a woefu misht There are no saloons in
to be the deplorable feature of the liquor traffic
a great litter of "blnd pigs" The Cambridge who
bankers for booze" does step into saloon the
purpose but patronizes of the of pggeres
The United States commissioner of internal revenue
reports that for the city of Cambridge there are now
issued "FIFTYFOUR RETAIL LIQUOR DEALER TAX
STAMPS" That means that there ffty-four
repttous groggeres in Cambridge operated under gov
ernmen authority but in defiance of local law Those
operators do thriving a business that they can af
ford to take the chance of occasional
the local law with its consequent fine they not
take the risk of Imprisonment under the rigorous federal
law.
Cambridge is not dry" town therefore but the
rankes sort of "wet town. There is plenty of liquor
tap there but 1t is at the trough instead of
at the bar
And Cambridge is the single city of the United States
of any considerable size to which the local nosaoon
promoters point example of reform by the
no-saloon process.

AMERICAN BOYS FIRST

One of the points made in favor of the "open shop"
policy at the meeting Of the National Manufacturers
association at Atlanta the desirabiity of broaden
ing the opportunities for American boys learn
The restrictions imposed by union rules concerning
apprentices tend to keep the number of trade learners
at the minimum The purpose of such restriction is to
regulate the supply of skilled labor but in these days
it not only fails to accomplish the desired object but
prevents young Americans from taking places which
rightfully belong to them.
1t gives to foreigners the opportunities for which
Americans should have the first chance.
The skilled labor of the United Jtates is largely of
foreign importation today because the supply of Amer
labor of that class is not adequate to meet the
demand. The proportion Of American apprentices who
graduating skilled mechanics is entirely out of
balance with the rapidly growing demand for such
workers This condition opens a wide field for Euro
pean skilled labor and that kind is pouring into this
country in increasing volume.
There would be vast increase in the number of
apprentices in all mechanical trades if good opportun
ties offered The rates of that have ruled
in such trades for many years in the United States
make mechanical labor the most desirable field for
large percentage of American boys. In other gen
eral line of American activity is there good prom
ise for the average boy. Not only the wages of
mechanics exceptionally high, compared with
workers in other vocations but the hours of labor
usually much satisfactory.
good mechanical trade is the most desirable ac-
quirement that American boy have 1t is worth
than cash property legacy. Money and prop
erty make take wings" but trade stands by
when his dollar and his last friend gone 1t is
something that he always rely upon for fairly
good living. Even in the stress of hardest times a
skilled mechanic who is willing and able to work can
always get employment that will least tide him over
until better times.
No American boy should be deprived of the privilege
of equipping himself to make good living at honest
trade because of restrictive rules regulations limit
ing the number of apprentices.

Two WEEKS HENCE

Two weeks from today Los Angeles will settle the
exciting issue that has agitated the community many
weeks The voters of the city will decide the question
whether the saloons shall go or stay
It unquestiouably is an important issue, involving
wide difference of opinion On one side of the question
there is known quantity fully understood by all c
zens, and the other side totally unknown quan.
tity far Los Angeles concerned All the evils
incident to the saloon business well known but the
abolition of them would be experiment one that
sgnally failed elsewhere as remedy for the evils of
the liquor traffic.
On the merits of this question: which will go the
jury of voters fortnight hence there is wide very
pronounced difference of opinion 1t new thing
for citizens Of Los Angeles thus differ subjects
of municipal policy but the agitation of the saloon
question has reached extraordinary proportions. The
issue has caused than difference of opinion,
left to the arbitration of the popular good deal
of asperity has been evoked the part of par
tisans in the ISSUE and during the remaining period
before the issue is closed good ginger may be
introduced in the discussion.
But all the citizens should bear in mind the that
the question now pending turns upon an honest differ.
in judgment in matter affecting the of
Los Angeles The issue is a radical one entirely new
in this city and practically new in all the larger cities
of the United States. 1t is strange therefore, that
citizens should have very positive views on the sub.
ject, and that they should maintain their views with
the persistence characteristic of the average Angeeno
1t is the veal of the city that all of have heart,
however, and all questions involving the public welfare
should be settled good naturedy becomes this

question that will be settled very in the Ameri
fashion of majority rule Think as you like, dis

A MERCHANTS ARGUMENTS
AGAINST CLOSING SALOONS
Why Los Angeles Has Prospered and
Why 1t Will Continue to Prosper
II You Let Well Enough Alone

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 49,
editor Herald): AS citizen and a
large taxpayer L am strongly opposed
to interfering with the prosperity of
Los Angeles by voting the saloon out
of existence.
I have been here since 1882, watched
Los Angeles grow, and l have not seen
the saloon do any material harm. Show
me city of 100000 inhabitants on the
face Of the globe that has not a saloon.
1t would be impossible for any city
to attain that population where the
rights of the public or the interests of
the masses are interfered with.
1t is not the saloon, but it's the prn-
ciple, the right to do as you please so
long as you conform to the law.
Abridge the liberty Of the people and
you stunt your city's growth. Every
man has a lawful right to drink, and
if he has that right he ought to be able
to go into a saloon and get it. His
knowledge of right and wrong will tell
him how much or how little to drink.
Education is the keynote to temperance
in all things, not prohibition, for the
latter suggests doing the opposite.
Give a person what he wants, and he
does not want it, but prohibit it and he
Immediately rebels and wants it.
Close up the saloons and you will
increase the bottle trade. You will
have more drunks in Los Angeles in
one year than you would in ten years
with open saloons.
am unalterably opposed to making
any change in our present conditions.
Every change is productive of either
good or bad. Why do we want to try
an experiment? Are we not satisfied
Is there any abnormal increase in
drunkenness in this town? Is there
any occasion for this hue and cry
at the present time? One would
think the morrow would bring forth
the destruction of this community. !
think our morality and temperance will
compare favorably with any city OF
our size IN the WOrlQ. Nlnety-TNe per
cent of the mercantile failures are due
to the inability to leave well enough
alone Do we want to make failure OF
Los Angeles? Real estate that was
worth $1,000 four years ago is worth
$4,000 to $4,000 today. Is not that doing
we'll enough, and no one questioned
the saloon being here. The Express
said last night, editorially, that it was
positive in the opinion that there will
be no such result" yet it cannot give us
but "its opinion" and is it safe to
trust to it? No one can guarantee that
the change of sentiment and opinion of
city will not affect real estate and
business. 1t may only be temporary.
depression exists at this very mo-
ment in Los Angeles as / learn by
exchange of opinion with representative
merchants, and due to this needless
agitation of the Express and anti
saloon forces.
Why should we have any depression
