DR.. BOWERS WRITES OF
SALOONS AND PROSPERITY
Clever Prohibitionist Goes After Many
Arguments in
Bunch

LOS ANGELES, May 6.-Editor
HERALD: Were it not that we are in a
serious contest for the overthrow of the
saloons of Los Angeles some of the
reasons advanced for their perpetual
tion would be truly amusing
One fellow writing to an evening
paper says: "Give us prohibition and
Angeles" Just so. We saw some
growing in one of our streets the other
day but did not know at the time that
prohibition caused it. Since coming to
think of it we do remember that sew
eral of the blind pigs" Of the city and
several lottery joints have been raided
recently and several gentlemen" have
had their personal liberty" interfered
with by laws prohibiting these things.
Guess that is what caused the grass to
sprout. He is a carpenter and says he
has cut his force down to twenty men
in view of probable prohibition. Yet
the month just closed beats all Aprils
for building permits in the history of
Los Angeles. 1t came we'll up toward
the two million dollar mark.
He also says that he has lived in
most of the prohibition states and cities
and knows it's bad effects. Well. he
must be a real old fellow and has been
big mover, for there are more than
5000 towns and cities In the United
States that are under prohibition laws.
In the south alone 100000 of its 2S.
0O0 900 inhabitants are under prohibi-
tion laws, and they like 1t so well down
there that they are continually adding
more territory and the whole south
will soon be governed by prohibition.
Another fellow speaks of the doleful
condition of Ohio under prohibition
laws. Perhaps that sapient scribe will
enlighten some of us benighted prohibit
tionists by telling us when and how
long Ohio was a prohibition state.
The threats of some OF the fellows
who for years have lived off the woes
Of others and broken many a fonc
mothers heart are beneath decent con-
tempt. One fellow who runs licensed

WHAT AILS THE MAYOR?
Consumers Desire the Speedy Hand
ling of Freight

LOS ANGELES, May 6.-Editor
HERALD: In regard to the transporta-
tion of freight through the streets of
the city, I would like to make a re-
mark or two.
In the name of common sense, what
is biting the mayor, anyway? Who
is kicking about freight handling? 1t
is surely in the interest of the con-
sumer as well as the producer to have
the produce transported from the ur-
ban districts to the centers of distri-
button as cheaply, quickly, cleanly and
quietly as possible.
To prohibit the electric lines from
carrying the produce would clearly be
a step backward.
Let we'll enough alone" is a good
motto. / voted for Nc, but am begin

murder mills of this city to continue
is that to close them will hurt busi-
ness" This is the weakest and vilest
argument that any man can put forth
1t is simply enthroning dollars and
cents against moral principle. 1t IS
to their Golfers is worth more to them
than the moral and eternal welfare of
their own children, If they have any,
and if they have not their neighbors
have Shame on the use of such a
subterfuge. 1t is unworthy of any
man who claims to have been born in
the image of God. 1t is quite possible
that the abolition of the saloons of our
city will not reclaim large number of
it's present drunkards, but it will re-
move the temptation from the rising
generation
The writer has been acquainted with
many prohibition towns in this coun-
try and he has never seen one yet
where the law was enforced (Which Is
never difficult where there are honest
officials) but the town has been greatly
improved morally, financially and in
every way. When you want to make
people believe the stale falsehood that
removing the saloons, gambling dens
and other iniquitous places kills town
tell them how 1t has killed Cambridge,
Mass; Fargo, N. D.; Pasadena, Po-
mona, Redlands, Riverside, Long
Beach and hundreds of similar towns.
And mark this: The removal of the
saloons from this city will cause capital
to flow into it as never before. There
are large numbers of wealthy men In
the east who are ready to bring their
wealth here as soon as they can be
assured that their families will be free
from the communicating influences OF
| the saloon.
STEPHEN BOWERS.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-08
DISCUSS 1T GOOD-NATUREDLY

1t is desirable that the saloon question be discussed
fully and freely prior to the settlement of issue by
the popular vote 1t is undesirable and deplorable
however that anmosty should be engendered between
classes of Los Angeles citizens because of divergent
views the subject
AS The Herald has remarked before, it is the best
interests of the community that all of are striving
for With that general object all classes of citizens
have pulled together in the past would be worse
than folly not to pull together in the matter which now
Is fraught with such grave consequence to the public
welfare.
There is neither for either side in
the controversy to assa the other side because of
difference of opinion on the main issue.
On this point it is well to remind the ardent pro-
moters of the nosaloon movement that in harshly
characterizng the opposition they not merely as
sailing the element connected with the liquor traffic
The saloon propretors are numerically only to
a thousand in the population of Los Angeles Rela-
lively they hardly worth considering in the general
question involved They at most only one factor
tirely the liquor drinking habit would continue The
press organ of the movement, the Evening EXPRESS
gives that assurance in the statement that "he man
who has acquired appetite for liquor will not he
denied his right to indulge his craving"
So far as can be learned from present indications
very large majority of the citizens believe that the
abolition OF the saloons would be harmful 10 ha ct,s
interests Thousands OF citizens who are personallv
as temperate the paragon who leads the nosaIoon
movement will vote In favor Of retaining the saloons
All OF these citizens, however also favor the
possible regulation of the liquor trac and the minimz
ing OF its recognized evils.
1t is nnwise for brethren to quarrel-it Is wise for
them TO reason together.
