LASSO THAT LIBRARY OFFER

The assurance that funds Los Angeles library
building in sight comes a surprise this time
The statement by Dr. Trueworhy of the board educa-
tion seems specific that point. He says; am as
sured that if Los Angeles will acquire definite
public library will receive gift of 100000
construction of building"
Probably it would not be difficult to make a good
guess concerning the of DR.. Trueworhys
ance The doctor has just returned from prolonged
visit in New York. and it there that the assurance
was given to him. Incidentally it may be stated that
Andrew Carnegie arrived in New York few days
DR.. Trueworthy's departure therefrom.
Now is to Los Angeles to anchor that provisional
promise by complying with the condition imposed Where
is the best obtainabe site for the public library building
and how shall it be obtained? The proposition to use
portion Of Central park for the purpose formally
indorsed by the people, but turned down by the
superior court An appeal from that decision pending
but there appears to be but little hope reversal
The library site question bobs up afesh taking
Its place in public interest with the city hall proposition
the Owens river water project and the consolidation
scheme But the library site question should not be
difficult TO solve If no individual any group per-
sons will offer free site for the library steps should be
taken for the purchase Of a site.
Let not that 100000 offer slip through the fingers OF
Los Angeles.

CONSOLIDATION MoDUS oPnRANDI

It is true that there is known precedent for tho
projected consolidation Of this city and considerable
section Of Los Angeles county beyond the city limits
The example Of Greater New York the only approach
to precedent and that is remote San Francisco Offers
guidance whatever, conditions of consolidation,
there quite different from those now presented in
Los Angeles.
But the Los Angeles proposition is not essentially as
difficult the which New York confronted when
the people decided upon by popular vote in 1896 New
York made precedent, which has admirably in
its general features and Angeles will follow the lead
Of the greater metropolis to that extent.
In considering the difference between the New York
and Los Angeles consolidation plans wide dlssimarty
IN conditions Is noticed at the first glance The outlying
sections which 1t is proposed to consolidate with this
city are all in Los Angeles county. In the
York two whole counties were added to the CITY and
parts of two other counties One of the wholly
absorbed Richmond known better as staten island
separated from the city by eight miles water The
other -Kings-comprsed the city of Brooklyn,
then nearly half large York The dismembered
counties were Queens and westchester.
II New York could successfully handle proposition
involving five counties Cncudng the county of New
York; surely Los Angeles can handle proposition which
involves only part of Los Angeles county. Not only
the basic conditions but nearly more favor
able for consolidation here than they in New York
And with that favorable comparison starter. there
is nothing calculated to retard the movement now in
the incipient stage here.
The first step taken in Yorks consolidation move
ment was the ascertanment of public opinion on the
SupJect no only IN the big city, but in all the cities,
towns and other districts within the scope the propo
ton That is the first step to be taken in An
geles project 1t is presumabe that residents of this
city generally in favor of extending metropoan
boundary in accordance with the tentative pan that
question will have to be decided by popular Greater
difficulties are presented in rounding up the various
communities in the county within the proposed
annexation limits. Several of those communities already
manifest eagerness for annexation may feel
differently when the practical test comes. obvious
therefore that the views concerned must
be ascertained as a primary STEP
Assuming that the popular decision will favor annexa
tion, the details for eecting 1t simple compared
with the obstacles which had surmounted in New
York But whatever the difficulties may be- Los Angeles
will not hesitate in undertaking task that New York

BLACK SHEEP OF THE FLOCK

Two United States senators, Mitchell of Oregon and
Burton of Kansas, in the shadow state prison for
crimes of which they have been convicted Another
senator Depew of New York is morally perhaps not
legally as cupable either Mitchell Burton Depews
colleague Senator Pla has admitted he controlled
legislation at Albany by the of furnished by
the big life insurance companies there are at least
half dozen other United States senators who fail in
the Caesarian test of being "above suspicion"
These dsgraceful and criminal revelations pertan
to men who occupy such seats filed by the
1lustrious men whose memory is only for
their eminent craftsmanship but also for personal
honor and rreproachabe character foung of
senatorial indicate the United States senate
has dropped from its lofty level earlier days of
the republic to the depth that stepping-stone
to the state prison?
To admit that the lately records Of certain
senators prove the lack of honor and honesty the
United States senate body as compared with the
earlier would be equivalent admitting that the
republic has slipped its cable and is rushing downward
to destruction Only confirmed pessimsts pretend to
believe such thing. If there any backward ten
dency in the morale of the nation indicated by its
highest representatives, then is virtue in the
worlds progress and enlightenment.
In the senatorial era that look back to with
reveren pride when the giants of American staesman
ship sat in the senate there only as many SEN

larger the flock of sheep the greater the number black
Only the greatness of the oden time senators

The United States today may have no Clay Webster

those former days Mchels Burtons Depews Platts
who had the good luck to discovery their

The world is better than it in any former

HOTEL GOSSIP
MansfieId,s Manager Here

Richard Mansiield's business man
ager, Paul Wilstach, yesterday spent
his first day in Los Angeles. He is a
newspaper man by training and finds
whole nest of friends in the local
| fraternity.
Nothing could be more cordial or
warmer than Mr. Mansfield's reception
| in California" said Mr.. Wilstach in a
manner that showed he shared the en-
thusiasm which the great actor feels
for the Pacific. 1.-THE faculty of the
University of California invited him
to lecture in Berkeley and in driving
rain $500 came to hear him. After
wards the faculty gave him reception
at the Faculty club, and said they
would come to San Francisco in a
body if he would accept banquet
| The banquet takes place next Saturday
night. Tonight the Bohemian club
give him q banquet Admiral McCalla,
commandant of the Mare Island navy
yard, brings theater party of forty
| two naval officers and their wives on
Friday night, placing one of the gov
ernment boats at their disposal for the
| trip.
California does nothing by halves,
at least they have not so indicated to
Mr.. Mansfield. Such theater parties!
They came forty and fifty and sixty
strong. On the opening night there
was one party of ninety-two! The
mail order list indicates that Los An
geles society is quite as enthusiastic
over the engagement as Frisco"
Owing to the extraordinary character
of the Mansfield engagement the sale
will not begin on the regular day, but
1t is arranged to put the seats ana
boxes on sale on Tuesday, December
5, one week from today. The prices
are the same as in San Francisco.
Mr.. Mansfield plays seven plays in
six days here: Monday, Beau Brum-
