A LIBRARY BUILDING START

The library board at last has taken decisive action
in starting the project for public library building lo
Central park BY resolution the board asks
the city council to take immediate steps for authorizing
by popular vote, issue of $500000 for building pur
poses OF that amount according to the estimates
$35OOO0 will be needed for the main and $780,
900 for branch library buildings
There be question about the desirabity of
the general proposition AS the thirteen branch libraries
reported in satisfactory condition, however, it may
thought advisable defer providing public buildings

ceived favorably at this time than for the
whole amount named by the library board.
Los Angeles we'll afford, The Herald has re-
peatedly declared to provide decent housing for its
splendid library The people of this city proud of
their library of than III 900 volumes, which is
exceed only by those of few of the greater American
cities
II is pity that it appears impossible to provide the
structure in time to obviae the necessity of
from the city hall to temporary quarters 1t will be
prodigious task to make that Not only will the
usefulness Of the library be impaired for weeks, but
there will necessarily be less damage to the
books. The expense of moving will be small em
and the rent cost of quarters will up to big
proportions.
1t would that arrangement should yet
be possible for allowing the library remain where
is until it be housed permanently. Better make
other provision for increased accommodation in certain
city departments than to out the library.

ALL MINING AT ONE MARK

Ventura clergyman, who is reader Of The Her
aid complains about the papers attitude the pending
saloon issue.
There much impractcable theory and good deal Of
in the brothers epistle but there also mod
of sraightlaced truth AS an example of the lat
ter note this quotations at is drunkenness you want to
stop not splitting hairs about whether the fellow has
license not; long you permit the trafic at all,
everybody will get all he wants regardless Of age or
condition"
Thanks, brother for stating The Heralds position on
the saloon issue clearly concisey and forciby. The
objective point at which The Herald aiming and at
which all other advocates Of temperance presumably
aiming is the elimination of drunkenness.
What is the best of procedure in the effort to
attain that object? That is the salient question in the
whole controversy
We all striving to reach single point, but we
differ to the most practicable route for getting there.
large number of Los Angeles people agree with the
Ventura brother in the opinion that the anttsaoon road
is short cut to the elimination OF Drunkenness. The
Herald and apparently large majority of the people
of Los Angeles believe there Is srer safer and more
practicable route.
Therein simply is difference of judgment we all
reach the destination choice of routes will
be decided upon June by the voters Of Los Angeles,
and shall accept the popular choice as good and
loyal citizens.
Pending that decision The Herald will endeavor to
make very to the Ventura brother its status
the saloon question 1t is generally speaking, that
closing of the saloons will not stop drunkenness, nor
mitigate the evil.
That much Is admitted in the of the press
organ Of the nosaloon movement that "he who has
acquired appetite for liquor will be denied his
right to indulge his craving" This because all liquor
dspensaries would do business at the old stands and
a rushing" business, too in the saloons
closed
In short, The Herald believes that the closing of
the saloons would merely drive the liquor traffic to other
and perhaps less reputable 1t would scatter
the evil instead of eliminating it, just the closing of
the crib district scattered the social evil in Angeles

TOUCHING THE SALOON ISSUE
An Expression in Favor Of Letting
Well Enough Alone"

LOS ANGELES, May 1O.-(Editor
Herald)-The position taken by The
Herald on the saloon question is that
ct sound common sense.
Close up the saloons at stroke and
there will be SO much petty an
noyance, so much irritation and loss
as always arise when people are
stopped, checked or interfered with
when they are doing what they have al
ways been accustomed to do, that there
will be a reaction and then the saloon
will have more liberty than ever.
A majority of the voters may decide,
in consequence of the forcible appeals
to their feelings made by clergymen
and paid agitators, to prohibit the SELL
ing of liquor by the glass; in other
words, close saloons; but is 1t morally

SOCIAL
DIARY AND GOSSIP

To an audience that crowded Simp-
son auditorium last evening the reor-
ganized Treble Clef club demonstrated
that an association Of fifty society
women could give concert that was
an artistic success. Although the club
has taken in many new members not
accustomed to chorus work, William
Henry Lott, the new conductor, has
obtained marvellous results. Most of
the fifty voices are far above the aver
age in quality.
The volume of tone was beautifully
perfect control. Those who went to
the concert expecting an amateurish
presentation of a varied program were
moved to extraordinary enthusiasm by
the most finished Interpretation of
numbers selected with fine discrimi-
nation.
Chadwick's Spring Song" the open
ing number, showed that there was no
trace of raggedness in a chorus re-
Eiarkably strong in it's altos. The tone
shadings were delicate. and the re-
sponse to the baton demonstrated the
conductors power to sway his singers
in such perfect unison that the effect
was in every way satisfactory. Schu-
bert's "The Lord Is My Shepherd" was
a number to be remembered, for it was
given with fine feeling. Schumann' S
Scenes from Faust" with solos by
Harry Clifford Lott, was the biggest
number in the first part of the pro-
gram. Mr.. Lott won new laurels, for
his splendid baritone voice was never
heard to better advantage than in this
number and in THE Rhine Song" by
Franz Ries. The solos caused him to
be recalled most enthusiastically and
as an encore he sang Swing Low.
Sweet Chariot" The chorus was also
heard in an encore, Drink to Me Only
with Thine Eyes" which was a dainty
bit of work.
The instrumental trio shared the
honors with the chorus Arnold Krauss,
Ludwig Opid and Mis- Blanche Rogers
played twice. The "Adagio" by Arthur
Foote was a number that gave violin
ist 'cellist and pianist fine opportuni-
ties. 1t was an artistic feature of a
rare program.
The Hawthorn and Lavender" song
cycle was the crowning achievement
of the evening. The musical setting OF
Henley's exquisite poems fittingly in
terprets the outdoor spirit, and the
songs were tone pictures, sometimes
sketched in pastels and at other times
painted in stronger colors. They de-
manded many brief solos, and these re-
vealed voices fresh, resonant and well
managed. The song cycle stirred the
big audience to an enthusiasm that
should inspire the Treble Clef club tc
do much public work next year.

topic of the evening. One delightful
feature was a talk by Mrs. Lloyd
Holmes Miller on musical culture, and
following there were several vocal Sc
lections by her husband. Refresh
ments were served in the pretty studio.

Tp to now we have virtually invited
people, whether they were citizens Of
Los Angeles or Of other parts, to invest
their capital here IN any business they
chose. Having done so we actually
propose to take those In certain line
and kick them out naked without

tainly a great convenience.
"But the saloon is an evil" they say.
So is everything evil that is abused
and there is nothing that cannot and
pit is sometimes abused.
why has the saloon attached certain
evils unto itself? In its origin II was
an inn, a homeN from home, a shelter
and provder for all the necessities
of the traveller. 1t should be so now.
Gambling, dancing and mattresses form
no essential part of good saloon keep
ing. why have they been added7
Why? Because of the fearful compe-
tition In the business. the result Of
too many saloons. The remedy sug-
gests itself-restrict the number and
the saloon can get along without Its
evil accessories.
OF course that would not suit some
people who hate for anyone to be
calmly and temperately enjoying what
they dare not touch, they are so weak
and foolish. But why should they
govern? They say, Remove tempta-
ton from the path of youth" They
forget that 1t is the resisting Of temp
tation that builds up the fortitude and
will power of the youth and makes a
man and not millSsop of him.
why do they not propose to prohibit
them? Well, that is done in places
and we may come to that.
SO say restrict, by high license or
some other means (though I know of
no other so effective), the number of
the saloons in every district Abolish
gambling and dancing and put back
the tables and chairs so a poor man
may rest.

RoosHvELTs RHBUKH TO CHICAGO

President Roosevelt said pertinent things to the
people of Chicago community and to the present
strikers in the city class.
He told them all that the laws be upheld even
if the power of the federal government is required to
uphold them.
Back of the city stands the state and back of the
state stands the nation he declared in his speech at
the banquet The sentiment is embodied in his
response the leaders in the strike In every effort
of Mayor Dunno to prevent violence by mobs or ind-
viduas to that the laws obeyed and that order
preserved he has the hearty support president
Of the United States" That sentiment repeated
and emphasized in the course of the presidents re-
marks
The whole tenor of the presidents expression re-
garding the strike is rebuke to the authorities of Chi
cago for having failed to stop mob violence its very
inception, promptly and firmly.
The first essential is the preservation of law and
ORDER says the president Instead of taking any dras
tic action in that direction the authorities of Chicago
have daed for many days with situation verging
close anarchy Instead of preserving law and
they have temporized with lawlessness. Instead of
handling rioters with the mailed fist" they have merely
touched them gently with the kid gloved hand.
the matter of upholdng law and order the strike
is not the paramount thing The merits of the issue be-
tween the teamsters and their former employers are
only of secondary consequence That fact the president
makes clear in his declaration that the law must be
upheld and disorder must be suppressed though
the power of the federal government is required for
the purpose.
There could be nothing palmer than the which
the president outlines for the reestabshment of order
in Chicago First it is the duty of the local authorities
to put summary stop to all lawessness in connection
with the strike Second, in of inability to sup
press disorder the city authorities should invoke aid
of the governor meaning the states military equipment
Third, if the state fails in the effort the federal gov
ernment will try its hand in subdung the rotous spirit
of Chicago.
And now the American people. who have watched
with surprise the eebeness of Chicago in the attempt
to maintain order will await with increased interest the
result OF the advice and assurance contained in the
words spoken on the subject by President Roosevelt
