DR.. BOWERS MAKES
REPLY TO BISHOP POTTER
Charges Additionally that New York
Divine Assisted in Dedication OF
"NeW Subway Saloon"

LOS ANGELES, April 1.-(Editor
Herald): On my return from the des-
ert l find a letter from Bishop Henry
C. Potter of New York in response to
a recent article published over my sig
nature in The Herald, in which he
says: 1.-THE statements of DR.. Bowers
have been repeatedly contradicted, and
1 have no doubt that he knows abun-
dainty well that they are false"
In my article in The Herald charged
Bishop Potter with assisting in the
opening of drunkard making resorts in
the city of New York, where people are
served with all manner of intoxicating
liquors; that the city authorities find
that his liquors produce the same kind
of drunkenness as that served in the
Bowery resorts; that it was placing
the most alluring temptation to drink
before weak men and women; that
Bishop Potter was a persistent opposer
of prohibitory laws, and from per-
sonal reasons; that the country had
not forgotten his row with the custom
house authorities who refused the ad-
mission of a barrel of Scotch whisky
free of duty on the ground of its being
for his personal use; that the last an
nual meeting of the National Liquor
Dealers association indorsed Bishop
Potter in commendatory resolution;
that moral suasion, while good as far
as it goes, is not remedy for drunk
ard making, as the four centuries past
abundantly prove; that the saloon can
not be regulated by licensing it; that
men like Bishop Potter make drunk
ards; that the mission of true men is
to remove the temptation of drink
from weak men and women, and that
the first duty of government is to pro-
tect society and its members, which
it cannot do under the legalized saloon.
Now if Bishop Potter will be so kind
as to name the count in the foregoing
indictment that is false" 1 will either
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-03

prove it to be true or retract 1T, and
publicly apologize for uttering it. The
bishop says my statements have been
repeatedly contradicted," but does not
say by whom-whether by bishop or
saloon keeper.
And now 1 will make another estate
ment." When you descended from the
usual dignity of bishop and minister
of the gospel, and dedicated your sub
way saloon, prayer was offered, the
long meter doxology, praise God from
whom all blessings flow," was sung,
and you made commendatory speech,
which was telegraphed all over the
country, after which glasses clinked
and whisky flowed in your poor mans
club" Everybody who cares to know
knows that the more respectable a sa-
loon is made Gf the word respect
able can be used in the crime of
drunkard making), the more danger
Gus it is. Many young man who will
finally be kicked out of Bowery
saloon will take his first step that
leads to the loss of his character and
his soul in your resort Many noble
men and women in your church de-
plore your course, and washing their
hands of this iniquity, are hoping for
the credit of the church and the Chris
tian religion that a way may be speed
lily found to wipe this deplorable blot
from it's escutcheon. The American
people will, in some degree, overlook
an ignorant man who engages in the
crime of drunkard making, but in a
prpfessed minister of Jesus, never.

TEST OF coUNclLMANIc BACKBONE

At the meeting Of the city council today action the
mayors veto Of the public utility ordinance will be In
order.
AS every phase Of the ordinance is thoroughly un-
derstood by all members of the. council there Is no
apparent need for further delay in settling the issue
finally. ta....
The people of Los Angeles have waited than
three months for councmahic action that ordinance
When the former council passed IL along to the new
board after nexcusable daying it understood that
the latter body would pass upon It early day.
AS time elapsed without action in the new year pub
lie impatience was manifested and The Herald voiced
the sentiment of the community by urging the council
take question up Finally the council responded,
the full satisfaction of the people by passing the ordi
nance without dissenting vote.
1t was confidently expected by the public that the
mayor would promptly approve the ordinance and that
IT would become effective in accordance with its pro-
visions It defective in minor respect, as pointed
out by The Herald but method for correcting the
defect subsequently also pointed out. Then came
delay the part OF the mayor until the last moment
allowed for a veto and finally the veto message.
This resume OF the history of the utility ordinance
is timely because It shows clearly the situation
that the council today Every member OF the
council is record having approved the ordinance
by his vote. Nothing has occurred since the vote cal
culated change the views of any member The issue
presented today in passing the mayors veo is sim
ply whether the council will stand they stood before
in upholding the rights of their constituents against
the imposition pracced by grasping monopoly.
The people are weary of waiting for final action in
this matter They will have patience with
sition to postpone farther They expect the council
to stand by its guns to vote the veto in accord
ance with their former vote, and to deserve renewed
manifestations of public approval for protecting public
interests.

LOWER COTTAGE RENTALS

While building expansion in Los Angeles is ap-
parenty varied enough to meet need there is one
lack that has been especially noticeable this spring.
Business structures going in every part of the
cty's business section and homemakers erecting
in nearly every quarter houses that grade from the
high class to the most unpretentious cottage.
of these structures, however meet the require
ments of the large of workers who have not the
available for home building and who disin
cined to assume the encumbrance of buying on time
payments.
There is large demand for cheap rentabe cottages.
AS The Herald has remarked before, rents excep-
tionally high this city, notwithstanding the magnitude
of building operations They relatively higher for
cheap cottages however than for any other grade of
dwellings. The rates demanded for such cottages
generally of reasonable proportion to the cost and
the hardship to class of citizens least able to
bear the burden of high prices.
A fourroom cottage, with modern improvements,
be put the market within fifteen or twenty minutes
of the business cost Of $780, including the
lot Homeseekers are building buying such cottages
every day in this city. when it to renting
such property the minimum price is SIS month A
is lucky in fact in the of his search he
finds cottage at that rental.
Ten per cent gross income from cottage property is
all that reasonable owner should ask or expect That
is equivalent to better than per cent net income. But
10 per $1,000 cottage is only $40 month"; while
the SIS minimum at the of 1S per gross
on the investment
talists of cottages alluded to for renting
purposes. Lots purchased at promising points in
outlying districts of the city and improved by cheap
modern cottages of four five will yield better
return for the money than almost any other
kind of investment.

NORTHERN SOUR GRAPE CROP

The spring opens with most promising prospects for
the grape crop in Central and Northern California
Such a condition in the north is usually observable
however when the promise for standard crops South
California is particularly bright.
The coincidence noticeable that the study of it
is matter of scientific interest Phe prolific the
crop yield in the southland the brighter the outlook
yield in the northland.
From the breezy land of Shasta county, cooled by
perennial zephyrs from the snowcapped mountains,
evidence that the grape crop promises
yield this Here is evidence from the
Redding Free Press, and it may be we'll state that
Redding is the metropolis of Shasta county
Southern California has proclaimed its charms and
its greatness oft and loud that has be-

of real estate schemers, originally attuned to key
specially calculated to cajoe nvalids with thin skins
wheezy and pethoric have become merged
into the resonant observations of seconhdence such
as only possible where exist the pussant conditions
of aggregated wealth"
But the biousness resulting from a diet of
aciduous grapes yields somewhat in contemplation of
