LEST WE FORGET"

The date for the election to decide the saloon issue
has been definitely fixed Friday June O. will settle the
question whether the Los Angeles saloon shall stay
or go.
The arbitrament of the polls will be conclusive and
final Whatever the decision may be, it will be accepted
in good temper by all loyal citizens And the end Of all
this agitation this friction among citizens who always
have pulled together amlcaby for the best interests of
Los Angeles will be hailed joyfuly.
Already there has been entirely too much aspery
in the controversy the saloon question. Persons
Of excltable temperament apt to lose their heads"
when fully aroused Issue of intense interest
There always is tendency in such circumstances to
forget Peters admontion add to your faith virtue
and to virtue knowledge add to knowledge temperance
and to temperance patience and to patience godness,
and to godness brotherly Kindness and to brothery
kindness charity"
In the three weeks prior to the settlement Of the
saloon question at the polls it is to be hoped the cam
paign will be conducted in brotherly spirit on both
sides. There is cause for i'll feeling over this
issue than for such feeling between religious denomina
tons differences Of opinion concerning creeds and
doctrines Let the question be discussed amicaby in all
its phases freely and exhaustively, and finally let the
result be accepted good naturedly becomes the en-
lghtened people of Los Angeles.
And the fact should be especially impressed upon the
minds of all persons actively engaged in the issue that
the good name of Los Angeles should not be smrched
by unjust and untrue statements calculated to have
damaging effect abroad
From some of the Incorporate declarations of over
jealous partisans it might be supposed that Los An
gees is morally bad the scriptural city in which
ten righteous men could not be found Let every indi
vidual who is taking active part in this matter,
whether he be citizen a promoter from abroad,
stick to his and avoid injurious and baseess state
ments about conditions in this city.
Los Angeles is not in danger of ruin" matter
which way the saloon question is decided. 1t will
nue to be the prosperous, the most envied and
the best governed large city in the United States in
respect to the liquor traffic.

SATISFACTORY LABOR CONDITIONS

notwithstanding the deplorabe labor situation in
Chicago it is fact that industrial conditions generally
in the United States quite satisfactory.
Bradstreet's review of labor conditions is
married. in the statement that were it not for the Chi
cago teamsters strike the industrial situation at present
would bear favorable comparison with any preceding
May day period for score of years past.
Even in Chicago which has seemingly been an in
dustral inferno lately the number of persons actually
engaged in the strike is comparatively very small
about 35OO Aside from that field, stated by Brad
Streets "the number of industrial employees striking
throughout the country the smallest there is record
of at this date" The entire number of persons who
have engaged in strikes since January in the United
States does not 3OOOO and the total number at
the beginning of this month was less than 10000.
The agitation at Chicago has caused some apprehen-
sion about widespread of such trouble but the
real symptoms justify such fear There is greater
quietude the general industrial field than has been
known before for many years.
Last spring was accounted at least normal in this
respect but note the facts compared with the
present spring. Last the strikes from January
to May 1 involved 10000 men, For the same period
in 1908 the number 100000.
In closing a careful review of these conditions
Bradstreets says "In fact notable has been the
absence of labor troubles this year that public and
newspaper notice Of them has been less than ordinary
with the probability that small troubles have thus
been entirely lost sight of. Just what this favorable
condition labor matters is illustrated by the
of the building trades which note unprecedented
activity the country over with labor troubles few and
far between"
All classes Of the American people, employers and
workers of every class, that conditions quite
satisfactory and likely to remain if they not
rashly disturbed. Hence there is settled conviction
among all classes that is the part of wisdom to "le
we'll enough alone"
That conclusion accounts for the general Industrial
quetude and for the disnclnation of thoughtful
take step that might eopardze the present pros
porous conditions

MoFFAT ROAD TERMINAL
Right Of Way Secured to Union Depot
In Denver,

Denver, Colo, Sept. 5.-David H,
tion of the Moffat road have again
given evidence that they are deeply
in earnest in the prosecution of the
work. Last Saturday it was announced
from the Offices that a strip of ground
about 100 feet wide. sufficient for
double track, had been purchased all
the way from Utah junction to the
city, clear in to point at Fifteenth
and Bassett streets-the present site
of the City stock yards. The purchase
of land includes all of River Front
park, the Union Warehouse Company
ground, strip running through the
Denargo Land Company's possessions
and the tract Of ground near River
Front park belonging to the Denver
Union Water Company.
At the same time it was stated that
the moment the Gore canon contro-
versy was settled the greatest piece Of
construction for the road, the big tun-
mel through the continental range,
would be undertaken and prosecuted
with all haste. Through the obstacles
placed in the way by the opponents of
the road on Wall street, the big bore
contract has been held in allegiance for
over two years. Now Mr.. Moffat is in
the eminent position to state that he
has overcome all difficulties in the
East, and the tunnel to pierce the
mountain and cut the distance to the
coast will be started right away, as
soon as the lesser obstacles at home
are disposed OF.
