RAPID RAILWAY SERVICE

The conclusion will be quite general that "the tex
pected has happened" in that terrible railway disaster
in Ohio To the ordinary observer it looks as if the
risk of accident in railway travelling is increased in
degree proportionate to the increase in speed
With all allowance for nearly perfect equipment and
extreme precaution, sustained speed of mile a,
minute railway track awfully perilous
1t is asserted by experts a fact, however that
there is not necessarily increase of danger as
of great speed Exhaustive statistics are
shown to prove that accidents to fast trains are
paratively Careessness, not high speed is the
assigned for most of the train wrecks In the
case of the disaster in Ohio an open switch was ac
counabe for the calamity. train wreck was certain
matter whether the speed was sixty miles an hour
only half that
In alluding to the apprehension of danger from the
speed of the very fast trains on the New
York Central and Pennsylvania lines between New York
and Chicago expert says
These trains with the utmost care the
tracks being cleared several miles ahead and only the
Hence the conclusion that accidents are not more
probable than might be expected in case of moderate
train schedules
The rapid transit introduced electric lines radiat
ing from Los Angeles sustans the geenral proposition
that high speed does not increase the likelihood of ac
cidens. The highest type of equipment and the sys-
tenn of private right of way whereby fast nterurban
cars are operated permit great speed without
ing the risk Of disaster.

THE Library DIAGNOSIS

The trouble concerning the Los Angeles library
agement appears to be of cancerous nature. There
symptoms Of its existence nearly all the time Oc-
casonally vrulent FORM seemingly requir-
ing heroic Operations more less effective
for the time performed on 1t intervals but they
evidently fail to reach the root Of the trouble.
recent diagnosis of the ailment seems TO have
satisfied the library board that the Of trouble
lies in this factthe librarian should be a This
conclusion Notwithstanding the further fact that the
librarian almost always has been woman and that
under womany control the library has reached very
high standard Of efficiency. The whole community rec
ognizes the force of that statement It is recognized by
so high authority the librarian Of congress.
And yet It does not necessarily follow that the best
results are obtained because the record made by
women is highly creditable Los Angeles has become
big city and its library has reached metropolitan pro
portions Whether the present and prospective magni-
tude of the institution makes 1t desirable to substitute
a man for woman at its head depends upon crcum-
stances that should be easily ascertaned.
The primary question consider is whether better
results would probably be obtained by change Of
gender in the Office of librarian If the board has done
it's duty effectively it should be the best judge upon
that point If the highest aainabe efficiency has not
reached in the librarians Office change is justifa
BILE and desirable Mere questions of fact lie at the
bottom of that proposition.
Probably no person who is acquainted with Charles
F. Lumms or who familiar with his literary reputa
ton and his personal characteristics will doubt for
moment his capabity for the position for which he has
been chosen by the library board.
Los Angeles has an exceptionally creditable library
even for city with its progressive reputation 1t will
be housed in the near future in structure worthy IN
all respects of Los Angeles 1t is important that every
effort be made without unnecessary loss Of time, to
eliminate the chronic trouble the management of the
library pave the way for its highest usefulness
to the community.

IMPOSTORS IN CHARITY GUISE

Los Angeles is known abroad as city of exceptional
nberality and benevoence 1t is known at home as
city that is preyed upon merclessly by frauds and
takers who impose its generosity. The average
citizen always is ready and willing to aid in Of
distress and to give literally in support of any worthy
necessity He knows that gross abuse is practced in
the of charity, but from the fear of turning away
really deserving applicant he takes constant risk Of
imposition.
Something has been done in the way of safeguarding
the public from this kind of abuse The Merchants and
Manufacturers association in the interest primarily of
the business community has made special efforts to
sft claims for public support made in behalf of
siby worthy but not generally known enterprises
operated in the of charity. In communication
before the city council that association suggests
cooperation with the council in this matter recommend
ing that two members Of the council and two of the
association constitute committee to handle the subject
systematically.
1t that the council contributes at least $4,000
annually Of city funds to aid in the support of
charitable institutions. 1t is said that during the past
and others in the course of evolution" There
surely should be methodical plan for determining
worthiness Of all such institutions and likewise the
extent Of their legitimate needs
Not only the city treasury but the business COM
munity and the people at large should be protected,
far possible, from the impostors who prey upon
Los Angeles in the garb of deserving objects of charity
