THE HERALD'S GREAT EDITION

The Proclamation" edition of The
Herald issued yesterday represents one
Of the most pretentious efforts eve put
forth by Los Angeles newspaper. Its
instantaneous success, its pronounced
hit and the tremendous demand for
copies of it prove not only that it is
appreciated for its true value by its
many friends and admirers here at
he-ne, but that the need for such an
edition was pressing and that it fills
want which everyone interested in
Los Angeles felt most keenly.
That stories of earthquake destruc-
ton were sent all over the east by the
Hearst yellows, everyone knows. That
even though palpably false these Wild
eyed reports might have some adverse
effect, many feared. While no evil
dences of this have been discernible,
yet it was felt that an authoritative
showing of the absolute freedom of Los
Angeles from any deleterious effects
of the San Francisco disaster was both
desirable and timely.
The Herald undertook the task of
furnishing this refutation. 1t involved
much work, money and time. But the
task was bravely met, the work was
begun and The Herald of yesterday
was the concrete evidence of this labor
of love.
That this proclamation" edition was
just what Los Angeles wished, the rush
for it amply proved. Thousands and
thousands of extra copies above The
Heralds regular circulation and the
ordered-in-advance supply were print
ed, but they utterly failed to satisfy
the demand. Time after time it was
necessary to re-start the presses, and
the mechanical forces labored long
through the day, trying to catch up
with the incessant stream of pur-
chasers.
To those who obtained, read and
enjoyed this Proclamation" edition,
nothing more need be said. To those
who sent hundreds of copies to the east,
suggestion is equally superfiuous. To
others who perchance did neither, The
Herald has only this to say: Get, read
and ponder over this splendid showing
for Los Angeles, and do not fail to give
your friends elsewhere the same pleas
ure. By sending copies broadcast
throughout the lani, you are doing
good missionary work for Los Angeles.

men, In the church, and how shall we
bring all the expanding powers Of de-
veloping youth into line to achieve the
ideals of the church of Christ? Too
often now, when we train a young man
along perfectly legitimate lies, we find
that we have lost him. There are too
many things in our modern life which
demand the attention of the young,
and which, though innocent in them
selves, seem to rob those who are at
tracted by them of their zeal and in
terest for the lofty ideals of Christ. W.
spend altogether too much time on cure
and too little on prevention. 1t is a
great thing, no Coubt, by all sorts of
prayer and effort, to pluck a brand
from the burning, to rescue some
drunkard from his evil life, but it is
a thousand times grander thing to di-
rect the young life In such a way that
no such rescue would be necessary.
"The religion of the Master is not ex-
pressed nor manifested by extrava-
CANT, ecstatic and erratic psychic con-
ditions, nod by shrieks, howls, kicks,
means, eroans, grimaces nor extrava-
CANT statements as to our sanctity but
in the calm, quiet humble, triumphant,
self-sacrifcing, loving and helpfully
sympathetic daily life. 1t is along some
of the lines which we have considered
that the church must, like the indi-
vidual, work out its own salvation"

A MISFlT EPITAPH

1t is said that Russell Sage selected
an epitaph to be engraved on his monu-
ment. Here it is; 81 have done the best
that 1 could by the light of the day."
The averment is not true, and it is
anything but creditable. In a business
life of nearly if not quite seventy years,
dying a nonagenarian, the best he could
show for his splendid opportunities was
$50 OOO,0 ,00O-the equivalent of about 12O
tons of gold.
Not dollar for charity did that old
man provide in his will. according to
the report. Apparently he could not
reconcile his mind to parting with any
Of his great wealth prior to parting
with the breath in his body. Finally,
as his body is sealed up in its 1 Il box,
the whole train load of gold. or its
equivalent. is dumped upon the old
mans widow, insurlnRa miserable life
during her few remaining days.
And now, like wolves fighting over a
carcass, a whole pack Of relatives. near
and remote, will quarrel about the
hoard. All Of them will be arrayed
against the widow, as legatee, hence the
miserable outlook for her. And Of what
value to her is all that money? She
could not get rid Of it in the brief

TARRHD WITH SANE STICK

If II Is true that misery loves COM
psny" there is consolation for Ameri-
can meat eaters. when the unsavory
revelations at Chicago reached Europe
the supply Of meats from that point
was stopped quickly on the other side
of the Atlantic No time was lost in
inquiries about the domestic meat
products. Time for reflection came
later, however, and the Importance
of home investigation became mani
fest. Now come disclosures showing
that the practices followed by Ameri-
can packers are duplicated extensively
in Great Britain and on the continent.
Germany made the most vociferous
outcry against American meats when
the packing house disclosures ap-
peared, and the most drastic measures
were taken there in respect to meat
importations. Now developments are
announced I'm Germany showing that
not only domestic meats but most of
the other foods consumed in the em-
plre are adulterated. A report on this
SUBJECT SlHteS Inat many large ana
reputable German firms were carrying
on privately departments Of their fac
tories where regular chemists wore
employed to scientifically adulterate
their food products"
Not only leading articles of food
but also such products as wines. bran
dies, chocolate and even medicines
''have been found to contain absolutely
injurious and dangerous substances
used for adulteration." Cosmetics and
perfumes contained poisonous ingredi-
ents.
1t seems, therefore, that American
manufacturers are not the only cul-
prits in the line Of doctoring stuffs
consumed by the people. When the
whole truth is disclosed, as a result of
investigations now in progress in most
of the enlightened countries, it prob
ably will appear that the food facto-
ries of all nations are "tarred with the
same stick However that may be,
all nations have cause to be thankful
for the zeal which has brought food
adulteration to light in the United
States and thus pave the way for uni
versal reform on that line.

AS they continued down the road
into the valley several ranchers ran
from their houses and demanded to

when telling of the incidents of the

rancher's bluntness and accusations.
Instead we invited him to go back over
the road a short distance with us, which
he did. When we had followed the
trail OF our machine for several miles
back the rancher told us that what he
said few minutes before didn't CO.

After leaving the, good natured
ranchers behind the party continued on
to Los Banos, from which point they
fought their way clear through all
kinds of obstacles to Mendoza. From
that place they circled around the
country until they made the regular
automobile roads, and finally reached

AR0USES MANS. IRE

According to Mrs. Tony Kasso, the
wife of Tony Kasso, a Hammam bath
employe living at 948 South Flower

uneventful. but upon the return trip to
Los Angeles by way of the San Joaquin
valley events again began to pile them
selves one upon another very rapidly,
much to the discomfort of the autoists.
After winding about in the Tehachapi
district the autoists came upon sthe
country that had recently been flooded
and trouble was again the feature of
the trip In order to prevent the
wheels from sinking in up to the hubs
the five autoists set about to fill gunny
sacks with sand. These filed, they
were placed one after another in the
mass of adobe in front of the wheels
so that the machine could be driven
over them and escape sinking into the
mud.
On getting clear of the adobe
stretches of road the party continued
on their return to Los Angeles without
incident or further accident.
Machine Survives II
When the party arrived here last
Tuesday afternoon the machine was at
once taken to the w. X. Cowen garage
and examined. Both Mr.. Bleakmore
and the employees of the garage were
surprised to find that the machine was
in first rate condition.
Local autom Q bile enthusiasts 1eciare
the run made by Mr.. Bleakmore and his
party was one of the most remarkable
in the history of automobiling.
Mr.. Bleakmore and Mrs. Bleakmore.
both of whom took turns at the wheel
in guiding the machine over the for
merly believed to be impossible parts
of the country. have been highly COM
plimented on the wonderful success of
the run.
"The fact of making the Refugio
pass, which in the past has never be-
fore been accomplished, speaks well not
only for Bleakmores Rambler but the
driver as WE'LL" said local automobile
enthusiast yesterday. Il saw the ma
chine when it was brought into the
| garage and the engine of the car had
not been injured in the least.
"A total of about 1900 miles were
covered and there is no question but
that the trip was one of the most re-
| markable ever made in the country.
| No one was ever before known to have
made the Refugio pass which the
Bieakmore party did"
Mrs. Bleakmore, who helped to guide
the Rambler over the rough section of
the country, is well known in Califor-
mia. She was Helen Aiken. the popular
contralto at the Tivoli theater in San
