A Good Risk

"I met A. J. Drexel at Monte Carlo"
said a New Yorker. His yacht, the
Margarita, lay in the Mediterranean.
He was entertaining the Grand Duke
Boris, the Grand Duke Vladimir, host
of royalties. For Mr.. Drexel," declared
tie New Yorker, has gotten into Eu-
ropean society in way no other Amer
lean ever dreamed of.
Mr.. Drexel is handsome, clever, wit
ty and kind. No wonder he succeeds
so well in his ambitions, which are
purely social.
81 chatted with him one day in the
casino at Monte Carlo. He was drink
ing coffee and smoking gold-tipped
cigarette in the little cafe, OFF the
trente-et-quarante room, whose win
dows afford such a lovely glimpse OF
the gray mountains of Monaco, those
barbarous mountains that seem out OF
place under a sky SO blue and smiling
amid such beautiful villas of ivory
white and such lovely palm gardens.
II had lost on the red a number
of 5-franc pieces in roulette, and ]
talked rather excitedly about the Monte
Carlo tables. One think led to another
Finally l said:
What would you do If you saw a
man cheating here?'
''Mr. Drexel smiled.
'Do?' he said. Why, back him, OF

CITY COUNCIL CONTEST

The real responsibility Of the gov
ernment Of great city rests prina-
rily and largely upon the city council
or municipal assembly. The mayor is
important on account OF his policies.
his veto power, his general influence
and supremacy. but after ali city
council can accomplish wonders for
municipality or do great damage to
its progress and It's institutions inde-
pendently of the mayors office.
Los Angeles has endured all sorts
and varieties OF, city councilmen and
been disappointed and disgusted over
the most of them. It Is exceedingly
difficult to induce men Of property
and business or professional interests.
or men Of fine character and stand
ing but without property, TO serve as
councilmen. 1t is usually considered
thankless. harassing ONCE, which
few men can contemplate or occupy
with equanimity.
But the non-partisans have been for
tunate in securing as candidates for
the city council nine first-ciass, hon
orable. honest, competent and highly
representative citizens. r. w. Drom-
gold in the First ward; A. s. vande-
grift in the Second; Walter ]. Wren
in the Third; Niles Pease in the
Fourth; A. J. wallace in the Fifth
]. v. Akey in the Sixth; Martin f.
Betkouslsi in the SEVENTH Dana w.
Bartlett in the Eighth and Michael
T. Collins In the Ninth, are all known
to be men Of honor and integrity, who
would serve the people faithfully and
intelligently. And In view Of the great
Owens river valley enterprise II is of
more Importance than ever before in
the history OF Los Angeles that such
men as Doc Houghton, Hitler and
Healy be relegated to the rear, and
that men Of unusual capacity and in
fluence be placed on guard.
1t should be particularly remem-
bered, therefore, that while the mayor
atty race is important the councilman
ic contest is OF great significance.
Vote the non-partisan ticket from top
to bottom and you will never have
cause to regret your vote.

BAD sTRrrTS sim BAD

The streets Of Los Angeles are in
very bad condition, and It is time that
something decisive were done about
them. All summer they have been
talked about and argued over. but the
rainy season is now about due and
miles OF them have not been touched.
Severe winds IN the last few days
have made OF the unpaved or unoiled
thoroughfares literal dustheaps Clouds
OF sand have swept through them, and
housshelders and shopkeepers have
alike mathematical them In unmeas-
ured terms. In a few days or weeks
the rains will lay this dust, but at the
same time will turn them into quag-
mires. And who shall say which con-
dition will be worse?
There is no need Of this in Los An
geles. At the city's very doors-in
fact, within It's own conflnes-is plenty
of material to remedy the evil at a
slight expense. oil In unlimited guam
titles only awaits the distributing
carts; when properly applied It will lay
the dust for all summer, and make
even an earth road passable in the wet
season. But through procrastination
and negligence nothing Is done and the
people suffer while strangers marvel
that a city so far advanced in 80 many
respects forgets its plain duty In this
one.
No other American city can so easily
care for it's streets, either. Every other
one must fear frost and severe
weather, and must pave its residence
streets with substantial materials.
Here where frost is unknown all that
Is needed is a we'll graded surface and
a proper treatment with oil to give a
good. serviceable road for ordinary
travel The expense for this is not a
fraction of the cost Of pavement, and
the work is done in a small part Of the
time. Yet Los Angeles sits supinely
down and let's dust cover it, and makes
no preparations for the mud that Is
certain within few weeks.
1t Is time some one we're called to ac-
count for this. 1t is a disgrace.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-19
COUNTY BOND ISSUE

Los Angeles county will be called
upon this week to vote bonds for some
improvements which are declared to
be much needed. The issue is not large,
the county's credit is very high and
under ordinary circumstances an af-
flrmative vote would not only be de-
sirable, but would be almost imperative.
Circumstances are not normal, how
ever, and it therefore would be wise to
give pause before voting ''yes" on this
bond issue, and to consider few things
which have a decided bearing on the
subject.
In the first place, the improvements
for which bonds are asked are not
imperative. They are desirable, yes;
but the county can get along without
them for a while yet. Besids, a new
board of supervisors comes in January
1, and it would seem the better part of
wisdom to let that board wrestle with
the question, and perhaps a way can
be found to raise the funds asked from
the current revenues. Certainly with
honest Ben Ward to fix the new as
| sessment and a board that will back
him up, the increased income of the
county will be very much larger, and
from it the money can be set aside
provided horde of useless office hold
ers do not eat it up.
Then the county is so rapidly being
absorbed by the city that perhaps be-
fore long they will be co-equal in ter
ritory. Then, under a consolidated
government, good part of the city and
county property will be duplicated, and
a portion can be set aside for other
uses or sold. This will solve the diff
ficulty to the country's profit better
than would a bond issue, which will
be debt.
But above all must be kept in mind
the necessities of the Owens river pro-
ject. This enterprise is rapidly COM
ing to a point where the real work
will begin and where much money will
be required. The city will then be
called upon to vote bonds in a consider
| able sum to carry on the work of giving
Los Angeles an ample supply of water.
Nothing must be permitted to interfere
with this, and no other needs must be
considered equal to It..
The present proposed bond issue may
or may not imperil the greater Owens
river issue; only the future could show
that. But the mere chance that II
might is enough to bespeak for 1t care.
full and thoughtful consideration and
a full investigation before an affirma.
tive answer be given. And on the
possibility that it might harm the
greatest undertaking now before the
city, the voters should not hesitate as
to their course OF action.
Many things Los Angeles city ant
county need; there is no denying that
But above all it needs the Owens river
water, and nothing must be permitted
to prevent or delay its coming.

A Rose Song

A little bud was
Upon the vine, alone;
/ felt the breeze go by,
Across the garden blown;
And once as morning came
A poet called my name
A scrap OF winged sky
Sang Rose. be thou mine own!
This merry heart of mine
With sudden rapture stirred;
/ danced upon the vine
Until the sun was blurred;
And dancing In the dew
A crimson rose l grew
o take me. love, for thine
1 told my poet bird.
Dear lady, on whose breast
IL Is my bliss to be
Another Roses guest
Loves lesson learn OF me,
Unto your happy heart
My red lips can impart
The tender truth be pr sssed-
One kiss will set II free

Warped Wisdom

Some never reach the top Of the ladder
for fear they'll be dizzy.
An ounce of hustle is worth pound
of luck charms
Dogmatism's bark is worse than its bite
Only a square man gets square deal
Time flies when it is fly time.
Bring up child in the way you
should have gone.
Women love to quarrel, but better to
make up
If you want good run for your money
lend it to a stranger.
A villain is less dangerous than a fool
You can reform a villain.
You can't fool a woman with fiattery
She already knows it is true.
