LET THERE BE LIGHT"

A sort of small-bore opposition to
the new down town system of street
lighting is brewing, under the direc-
ton of a few knockers who seem to
think that the illumination is need
less and extravagant. Perhaps they
take their cue from the mayor, who
has always fought the system. Any
how, they are shortsighted in their
claims and are hurting the city in the
course they take.
Los Angeles is a show city--one of
the great show cities of the country
True, it is not a manufacturing CEN
tire of tremendous importance. but at
the same time it has great transient
population. Attracted by its climatic
and characteristic charms, these peo-

To care for this very large class,
one of the greatest factors in its pros
perity, Los Angeles must live up to its
reputation as a bright, snowy, beauti-
full city. Parks, boulevards, handsome
homes magnificent lawns-all these
are a part of the city's civic capital
and are an investment that pays big
dividends. In these, the city excels, and
everyone speaks in praise of them
Up to year ago, however, the Los
Angeles streets, especially in the busi
ness district, were miserably dark and
gloomy. The Broadway lighting plan
was carried out, and the first flash of
the lights justified it's being. Spring
street followed, and Main and Hill are
eager to be next.
The opposition is based on the fact
that the city pays for the current used

to do so, and it is right that the muni-
cipality should do the rest. The ilum-
nations are for all Los Angeles; they

A GREAT NEWSPAPER

The Herald Of yesterday sufficiently
demonstrated its superiority as a local
newspaper, and its presses we're kept
running far into Christmas day to
meet the demand for copies Of the
paper.
In the first place its accounts Of the
burning Of the Broadway Van Nuys
hotel and the losses to proprletors and
guests were graphic and complete.
In the next place no other newspa-
per contained such a full and accurate
report of the terrible street car acci-
dent at Second and Spring streets. The
name and address of every person in
jured in that affair was ascertalned
and stated, together with all the Incl
dental facts
In the third place, no other newspa
per had such a thorough round UP Of
exciting news, gathered from all points
of Los Angeles.
The Herald long since established
it's reputation for truthfulness and ac-
curacy in the reporting of news. 1t Is
not given to sensation. 1t does not lose
it's head in times of public excitement.
1t does not exaggerate facts, but on the
contrary, endeavors to give to its
readers the truth, unencumbered by
personal bias or prejudice of any sort.
The Herald believes that it's readers
are entitled to a fair account of all
news, and its success in this direction
has helped to make it the home news
paper of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles had an exciting time on
Christmas eve, but the Herald was
fully prepared for the emergency and
met it so ably and fully that thousands
of extra copies of the paper were
printed and sold.

TACOMA, Dec. 24.-Rather than bring
the name of young woman into the
case, Alexander Gardiner, formerly a
student of the state university, who
is serving a ten-year sentence in the
penitentiary on a burglary charge, pre-
fers to remain in prison. He has ap-
piled to Governor Mead for a pardon,
and has told a remarkable story, but
refuses to give the name of the only
person in the world who can substan-
tiate it.
He made an appointment, he says,
to meet the young woman at certain
house, believing that the owner was
absent and would not return that day,
and she gave him the key. He was
surprised in the house by the owner
and arrested as n burglar.
He pleaded guilty in court, hoping
to get a light sentence, and not be
forced to drag the young woman's name
into the case. He refuses to tell who
she is or what was her relation to the
man in whose house he was found.

LIMIT, THREE CIGARS A DAY
Chicago Surgeons Issue Warnings to
Devotees of the Weed-Must

Special TO The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO. Dec. 25.--"Dont smoke
more than three cigars a day"
Don't go beyond two pipefuls of to-
bacco a day If you smoke a pipe"
Don't hold your cigar or pipe con-
stantly in the same part of the mouth. y
Beware of damp tobacco; it often
contains glycerine."
These "don'ts," addressed to the man
of average strength and normal nerves,
were voiced today by Chicago surgeons
in discussion of cancer of the mouth or
throat, caused frequently by excessive
and careless smoking.
The occasion of their talk is the case
of Frederick L. Powell, an actor, who
has just submitted to an operation re-
moving a large part of his tongue to
check a cancerous growth. While it is
not asserted that tobacco is the cause
of his Illness, cases similar to his in
which nicotine was at least a contribu-
tory cause were recalled.
The case of all cases cited by sur
geons as illustrating cancer caused by
tobacco is that of President Ulysses S.
Grant. He was known as one of the
most constant smokers in public life.
When the cancer developed it was at
once ascribed to this habit.

In the accounts of the street car dis

While the other morning papers had but
partial lists, including about thirty

The efforts Of The Herald to print
all the news were appreciated by the

large number of papers was run off

necessary to start the presses late in
the morning and run off 5000 extra
papers in order to supply the demand.
BY noon nearly all of these were gone
and still the public cried for more.
Hurry up those extra COPIES" was
a cry that kept the telephones in the

Yesterday morning Miss Hickman
boarded a street car near her home
carrying apparently baby clad in the
regulation long clothes, with the usual
amount of laces and ribbons. At the
Hotel Seelbach the car stopped and a
dog outside howled. The next moment
the baby sent back a sympathetic
bark, squirmed vigorously and soon
was in the street, laces, long clothes
and all. The crowd in the car laughed,
the people outside yelled and Miss
Hickman blushed many varieties Of
bushes. She ran from the car, cap
tured the dog, and, hugging muddy
laces, brute and all, called cab and
returned home.
