IN the death of Mr. Theodore NJ. Car
penter. chief editorial writer of the
Times. Los Angeles journalism loses
one Of its brightest and most important
stars. Mr.. Carpenter was so modest
and unobtrusive that but a favored few
had the pleasure Of his acquaintance,
but these few recognized and appre-
ciated his vast learning. his briliancy
and his attainments. Always cheerful,
companionable and oblising, he was
beloved By his associates, who deeply
mourn his sudden and seemingly un-
timely death. Theodore M. Carpenter
win long be cherished in the memory OF
Los Angeles as a citizen and as an
editorial writer who labored always
for the betterment OF mankind and for
the upbuilding Of the great city that
he loved.

A COSMOPOLITAN CITY

This month begins the real rush of
winter tourists to Southern California.
The extra trains start now, the big
hotels all open, the Amusement enter
prises furbish Up and the harvest be-
gins. The greatest rush will not come
until after the Christmas holidays. but
sufficient persons have already fled the
rigors of the eastern winter to give
Los Angeles it's accustomed cosmopoli-
tan aspect and more are coming every
day
And these visitors find a vastly finer
city here now than they left year or
less ago. They find it vastly changed
bigger, broader, more metropolitan.
They find it more brilliantly lighted
Spring, Hill and lain streets have
emulated Broadway in their illuminated
beauty. They find more and finer
notes.-the Alexandria, the Hayward,
the Wentworth, and scores of smaller
ones are not excelled anywhere Tkoy
find hundreds of palatial apartment
houses near the city's heart-luxurious
elegant, comfortable. They note a
greatly changed skyline newer and
taller buildings on every hand. They
wonder at the outspreading of the
shopping center it's extension far
south into a region that was given over
to homes a twelvemonth past. They
are amazed by the growth of the bust
ness center. the passing of old land
marks, whose places are taken by new
office and mercantile structures. They
are astounded by the still greater
number of new structures now build
ing; those rising in Broadway, Spring
and Hill streets equaling any in the
east. They are carried away with the
rapidity with which the city changes in
the cycle of a suns round.
And well they may be, for Los An
geles is the fastest growing city on
the map.
But if these visitors would really be
amazed, let them go out from the GEN.
ter of town and see what has been
doing in the residence districts. Let
them go east, over to Boyle and Euclid
Heights, and see how fields and farms
and rough hillsides have grown up in
pretty homes. Let them go south anC

SMASH THE CITY MACHINE
Non-Partisanship and the Non-Parti=
san Ticket High in Public
Favor

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.-IEditor
Heraldl-The impending election III
this city is of more than usual I'M
portance. The numerous candidates
for mayor indicate that the people are
not so much in the shambles of party
as they have been; that the machine
is not so potential as in the recent past.
1t signifies that a large class of the
voters have asserted their freedom from
the senseless dogma Of partisanlsm'
Democracy means individual action
and a sense of individual responsible
ity.
Partisanism is developed for no pur-
pose but to get the offices and to sub
serve special interests. Policies ana
principles cut no figure except inclden-
| tai to party success. Whoever knew
a political boss that gave any consld-
Grafton to the public welfare?

ABOUT THE AMENDMENTS

There are eight proposed amend
ments to the city charter which should
engage the attention and careful con-
sideratiou of every voter in Los An
geles before he casts his vote next
Tuesday. The amendments are inn
portant and will have much bearing
uron the Immediate future of this
great city.
Amendment No. I provides for fixing
the salaries Of the principal city Of
hcials. The salaries proposed are COM
mensurate with the duties Of the sew
eral offices and are not high. Vote
YES.
Amendment No. 2 will give the board
Of public works the power to acquire
property to regulate the manner of
making contracts 'by said board. and
to provide a disbursing agent and to
make reports. These things are all
necessary and proper. Vote YES.
Amendment No. proposes to extend
the provisions of the civi. service law
to other departments and to provide
Of the city. Vote YES
Amendment No. provides that de.
mands payable out of the school fund
may be approved by FIVE members Of
the school board, instead of six. as at
present. The long delay in beginning
the construction of the new school
buildings this summer was caused by
the fact that not more than FIVE mem
bers of the board were presen. in the
city and they could do nothing until a
sixth member returned. Vote YES.
Amendment No. provides for the
tenure of appointive officers. so that
removals may not be made except for
cause: Vote YES.
Amendment No 6 is most i'm
portant one. 1t provides that fran
chises shall not be granted for a term
expiring after January. 194C without
the assent of a majority of the electors
of the city, and that every grant of
franchise shall provide for the pur-
chase by the city of the plant of
the grantee at the expiration of such
franchise" The length of existence of
a franchise would thus be limited by
the state law to fifty years. Property
owners know that since the adoption of
the 21-year law only one street rail-
road franchise has been asked for or
granted, and no street railroad building
has been done inside the city limits ex-
cept upon old contracts. 1t is essential
for the growth and development of Los
Angeles that the term be restored to.
the state law limit of fifty years. Vote
YES.
Amendment No. provides for the
granting by the city council of permits
authorizing the carrying of freight for
hire over street railway lines in this
city. This question has been debated
for two years and people generally
favor it, as they should. Vote YES.
Amendment No. designates the
elective city officers. divides the city
into nine wards, provides for increas-
ing the number of wards to fifteen and
the election of councilmen from the
new wards, and prescribes a quorum of
the council. Vote YES.
The entire list of amendments. if
adopted, will benefit the people and
city of Los Angeles. Hence they should
be ratified.
