At Home to Y. w, C. r. u.

Members of the Y. w. c. T. u. were
guests last evening at the home of
Mrs. Lucy Blanchard of 919 West Sec
ond street. Mrs. Hester Griffith gave a
talk on young Women of Today and
Their Responsibilities" in which she
pointed out the duty that the girl owes
the world and the necessity for her
acting definitely If the world is to be
made better for her being in it. The
influence which the young woman can
exercise on those she comes in contact
with and the use of this influence was
dwelt upon by the speaker. Following
Mrs. Griffith's talk several musical
numbers were contributed. The home
was prettily decorated with roses and
greenery combined with the ever pres
ent white ribbon of the w. G. T. u,
and the portrait of the founder framed
in wreath of blossom occupied a con-
spicuous place. Those who assisted
Mrs. Blanchard in receiving were Mrs.
Mabel Glenn, Mrs. Frances Davenport
and Mrs. Nellie Simpson.

LIBELiNG LOS ANGELES

This sensational declaration made last Sunday
by leading speaker at antsaloon meeting in a
church, LOS Angeles in ruins will be the condition Of
the city in short time If the traffic in liquor
is not stopped"
Los Angeles cannot afford to have such statements
sent broadcast without first stamping them conspicu-
ously The fact that such misrepresentation
from professional agitators does their
injurious effect abroad. Readers far away have no
means of knowing that such utterances baseless
made only for emotional purposes.
Under present conditions including saloons and all
else in the city that is good bad Indifferent, Los An
gees is today the most prosperous and best governed
large city in the United States
If saloon conditions such have calculated
ruin city, then Los Angeles at least has the
of being the last to tumble That because there
is other city of 200 900 inhabitants in this
country where the liquor traffic is under complete
control than it is in Los Angeles
In other American city of its size there few
saloons so few disrepuabe resorts, and in none
other the saloons confined in a separate from
the general residence section.
Therefore the people of Los Angeles proud Of their
city and jealous of its good name object to the utter
ance of papabe unruths by sensational agitaors con-
eerning conditions here.
Assuming that the rot about LOS Angeles in ruins"
finds believers abroad is it likely that any such believer
would think for moment of coming to this city as a
homeseeker? The direct tendency of such rank libel
Los Angeles is to dissuade strangers from coming
here. Who wishes a home in a city which hangs
the fate of the doomed cities of scripture?
Such harangues the one here alluded to glar-
ing insults the citizens of Los Angeles should be
resented accordingly.

THE PRESIDENT AS A SIDE-STEppER

In the presidents talk to the Denverites he said
pretty things about his purpose to enforce the laws
against railway corporations He told about his poicy
extending the powers Of the interstate commerce
commission and of giving them particularly the power TO
fix have the rates that they fix go into effect
practically at once"
Hence his policy is to give mot to the state but to-
the national government increased regulatory power

But the president is adept in the juggling of
language While pleasing the Denverites with a state
ment of his purpose tackle the big corporations he
carefully reminds them that 1--WE remember always
that of the men who responsible for the man.
agement of these great corporations. and who have
proted thereby, have made their fortunes as Incl
dental to damaging but to benehtng the community as
a whole" Therefore 1--WE must be careful that nothing
is done that would jeopardize their industries as that
would therefore work harm Of the most far reaching
kind not only to ALL from the humblest to the highest
engaged in these industries, but to the business CON-
munty as a whole"
That is to say the railway corporations must be
restrained in the interest of the public but 1t would be
injurious to public interests to make the restraint
stringent enough to have any practical effect However
that is about much the people expect from an
administration whose leaders largely identified with
the great corporations
the Republican leaders in congress that he will not be
permitted to take any drastic action for the restraint of
such concerns

WANTS MOVABLE BRIDGES
Recent Rain Storms Had Bad Effect
on Street Crossings

LOS ANGELES, May 9.-Editor
Herald): In company with my hus-
band I attended the meeting of the
"no-saloons" at the Methodist Episcopal
church Sunday night. When we left
the church Sixth street was rushing
river. We passed down to Broadway,
where It's mad onward rush was added
to by a still more rapid current.
What were we to do to cross such 3
muddy stream? My husband wouldn't
let me try it, so we walked up Broad
way, where two little boys were watch
ing two small boxes that made step
ping stones for crossing. All the people
were using them in front of us. Young
men passed over and the boys halloed
Down she goes!'
But those boys evidently had respect
for age and white hair-not a sound as
my 150-pound weight passed over.
Then we picked our way till we got to
Spring and over to Main street, going
down on Main street till we came to
place where someone had placed IL
plank--and we found our way to
the car.
Shame on our beautiful city! No pro-
vision made for crossing in such
storm. It's all very funny to read Of
the happenings at such time, but try
it yourself, or think of the risk Of life
that is had for frail people that may be
caught even in California storm.
1 am a Yankee, and would suggest
that someone see that little movable
bridges be made and placed at con-
venient places on streets at such times
till the city can attend to the sewers.
