FROM EXILE

Call to me. call to me. fields of popped
wheat!
Purple thistles by the road call me to
return!
Now thousand shrller throats echo
down the street.
And / cannot hear the wind camping
in the fern.
Little leaves beside the trail dance your
way to town,
Till you find your brother here who
remembers yet;
For though a river runs between and
the bridge is down.
I've a heart that's roaming and a soul
that won't forget.
A sun squats on the housetops, but his
face is hard and dry;
a rain walks up and down the streets,
but her voice is harsh
Sunlight is different thing where the
swallows fly,
And rain tongues sing with sweeter
voice when they're on the marsh.
Once a thousand bending blades stopped
to let me pass,
When I sped barefooted through your
crowding lines
whisper to me gently in the language
of the grass,
How l watched the crows of night
nest among the pines.
Still the golden pollen smokes, silver
runs the rain.
Still the timid mists creep out when
the sun lies down
o, am weary waiting to return to you
again,
So take Il pale familiar face out be-
yond the town.

A smile in time is worth nine laughs

1t takes a hero to be an honest man.
Boni and his wife's money were soon

Every man thinks he is big gun when

Fashion is responsible for a multitude

Some men who marry in haste never

A miss is as good as mile, but it
takes many men to make a league.

It's easy to look on the bright side of

THE NEW CHIEFS PlATFoRM

There Is every reason 70 believe that
the new superintendent Of police means
what he says in this declaration; 81
shall stand for strict Observance Of
all ordinances. impartially." That is a
terse and clear statement Of his general
policy. 1t is a SUFFICIENT platform for
him to stand upon. If he adheres
closely to it, as The Herald believes he
will, the citizens of Los Angeles will
give him their hearty support.
Councilman Kern becomes chief of
police under peculiarly favorable cir
cumstances. He has made good
record as a councilman during nearly
four years of service, and his character
has withstood the test incident to the
position. No member Of the council,
during the period Of his incumbency.
has been more efficient, Jealous and
generally useful than ED Kerp, hence
forth executive head of the police force.
An official compliment to these quail
ities is seen in the selection of a Demo-
c1at, a member of the minor political
party in Los Angeles, to the responsible
position I'm question. That the tender
Of the office was accepted in the nom
partisan spirit I'm which ii was given
is evidenced by the declaration quoted
above, ana by this supplement- thereto;
"A police department should be an in
telligent body of men. organized to
enforce the laws. working to preserve
Industrial peace in the community and
to prevent crime and punish criminals
as we'll as to protect life and property
Los Angeles is just entering upon
new and greater era, demanding higher
efficiency in every department of the
municipal government. 1t is especially
essential that the police service be of
the highest modern type. The Herald
believes that Chief Kern has the
requisite capability to give Los Angeles
the best police service 1t ever has had.
and that he will use his utmost en-
deavors to that end.
1t is important however, that the
hands OF the new chief be strengthened
by cooperative effort on the part of
other branches of the city government
and by the people of all classes as well.
Give him a fair chance, with cordial
support on all sides, and there Is every
reason to believe he will redeem his
promises. with credit to himself and
to the city.

VOTE FOR A PRINCIPLE

In this final week Of a municipal
campaign which has been full Of sur
prises and general public interest, the
voters Of Los Angeles city must de-
termine the course they will pursue
with respect to the election OF a mu-
niclpal ticket.
The non-partisans, working for the
success Of a principle, have achieved
marvellous progress into the esteem of
all voters Lee c. Gates, non-partisan
nominee for mayor, has addressed the
people nightly in a dignihed, earnest
and eloquent manner and has so i'm
pressed himself upon the people that
all indications now favor his certain
election. lie has demonstrated in
many ways his eminent fitness and
capacity for the mayoralty of this
great city. He has shown courage,
manliness and intelligence. He has
discussed the civic issues-which are
just now of unusual importance-fear
lessly and with dignity, and has proven
that as mayor he would give the city
a business administration and be an
honor to the high office.
DR.. Lindley is busy defending him
self from his own record when con-
nected with the Whittier reform school,
and Mr.. Harper has lost prestige by
reason of his apparent attitude in
favor of "a wide-open town"
Lee c. Gates, on the contrary, needs
no defense, and the only attacks made
upon him have been of character
well calculated to reflect back upon
those who made them. 1t is easily
manifest that Gates is "the biggest
man in the race" He has no fads is
the candidate of no political party. is
answerable to no boss and when elect
ed is in the best position to serve all
the people all the time.
During the past four or FIVE days
public sentiment has set in toward
Gates with an emphasis that cannot
be mistaken or misunderstood. His
public meetings are nightly crowded
with enthusiastic citizens; his ad-
dresses are greeted by marked evil
dences of approval and everywhere it
is now admitted that Gates has a long
lead over his competitors.
The Herald believes in the Roose-
veltian principle of -partisanship
in civic affairs, and it believes that
Mr.. Gates is a splendid example of
that principle. And so is the entire
ticket, especially includ-
ing the nominees for the city council
With men of unusual intelligence and
integrity representing as candidates
the principle of n-partisanship, there
is every reason why the honest citi-
zens of Los Angeles should determine
without scratch.

FROM ALPHA TO OMEGA

There appears to be a good deal OF
misdrected energy in the effort to dis
rupt or abolish the fraternal societies
of the Los Angeles high schools. Mem
bers of womens clubs appear to be
the prime movers in opposition to the
societies, but their views are shared
by at least some members of the board
of education and by leading instructors
in the schools.
The chief argument advanced in op-
position to the so-called Greek letter
societies is that the secret meetings af-
ford opportunities for improprieties that
would not be indulged in publicly. 1t
is alleged that the boys are tempted
to indulge in cigarette smoking, card
playing and even to infraction of the
scriptural admonition, Look not upon
the wine when it is red"
Concerning the girl, societies. the
charge is that such association Leads
to frivolity of mind; that it creates un-
pleasant social lines and distinctions
in schools, and is not in consonance
with the general spirit of the educa-
tional system"
The average college alumnus is likely
to conclude that if the high school
youngsters encounter no worse influ-
ences than pertain to their Greek let
ter societies there will be no great
cause for worry about them. Habits
Of card playing, tobacco smoking and
wine drinking ave not apt to be ac-
quired in such associations. Such hab-
its usually begin in comparative seclu-
sion, and are formed before the period
of association in high school societies.
No doubt there is some ground for
charges Of misbehavior on the part of
some high school members of the So
cieties, but it is unjust TO make indi-
vdual indiscretion a cause of complaint
against the whole society system. There
certainly is nothing in the recognized
methods of the Greek letter societies
that affords reasonable ground for OBJ
lection. And it is safe to say that per-
sons familiar with the subject appre-
ciate the beneficial results that should
come from the association of students
in societies.
If womens clubs are helpful to adult
members why should not the several
societies cf students be helpful to the
meIn1ers thereof?

WASTE OF COUNTY MONEY

The habit of voting bonds every time
a city or county wants internal i'm
provements is needless, costly and un-
necessary. Very rightly the PROPOSE
tior advanced by Los Angeles county
last week was defeated. 1t should
have been.
Not that the projects for which
money was asked are not worthy. Ev-
eryone of them is. The county needs a
hall of records, 1t needs a detention
home; it needs all the improvements
specified. And it should have them.
But it doesn't require a bond issue to
obtain them.
What is requisite to the securing of
these needed buildings is a saving of
county funds and a wise expenditure
of county income-a thing sadly lack
ing in the past. A realizing sense of
this on the part of county authorities
will enable them to acquire everything
needful TO a proper and conservative
administration of county affairs
But when the powers that be waste
the funds at hand. naturally they must
feel cramped when unusual demands
come up. Such waste is common both
in city and county administration-not
only in this county, but elsewhere. II
is the common practice, not 70 see how
economically or carefully city or
county business can be run, and how
much can be saved from the income.
This would be too business-like No;
the ordinary process is to ascertain
the greatest amount of money that
can possibly be accumulated, and then
to devise just as many ways to spend
all of it, and then some, as ingenuity
can conceive.
The result is an army of useless tax
eaters, all factening at the public crib,
a foolish, reckless outpouring Of money
on useless, impracticabie schemes, and
financial stringency chronic in its
effects.
Los Angeles county is extremely
wealthy and its income is very large.
Instead of conserving it, the supervis-
ors throw it away on useless voting
machines that never have served at an
election since they were bought al
double rates; on other wild schemes;
on host of idlers who hold down sine
cures, and the like. Then, when neces.
sity arises for an additional building
bridge, larger than ordinary work
ing force for some specified purpose
there goes up howl of lack of funds
and fierce demand for a bond issue
Very properly, the people are weary
of this, and they have voiced theh
disgust in no uncertain terms-at g
cost of some thousands OF dollars OF
the county money.
What would be thought Of a bust.
ness man who ran his affairs in tn,
slipshod fashion that the city or tn,
county pursues? What opinion woulc
be had Of a merchant who expended
every possible cent of his Income or
chimerical schemes, useless and idl,
