ANNEXATION AND PROGRESS


In that sign the voters Of East Pasa-
dena conquered at the polls Thursday
In the battle of the ballots the issue was
whether the people Of the eastern dis
trict were willing to accept consolida-
tion with the splendid city of Pasadena.
The latter community awaited with
open arms the one outside the fold, as
was evinced by the outcome of the
Pasadena vote, polled at the same
time-nearly twenty to one in favor of
annexation But in East Pasadena
there was stubborn opposition. and it
was only after hard battle, under the
banner inscribed Annexation and
Progress" that the victory was won
by vote of 165 to 1874.
1t was a suggestive contest that the
people of East Pasadena waged among
themselves over the question whether
they should merge their municipal for
tunes with their big, beautiful and pro-
gressive neighbor. Viewing the situa-
tion from a distant standpoint, it is
difficult to see what ground the oppo-
nents of the proposition had to stand
upon. BY joining with the greater city
all the advantages of municipal govern
ment will be found ready made for East
Pasadena. The outside community will
merely climb into the band wagon and
become a conspicuous figure in Pasa-
denas progressive procession.
This characteristic Southern Califor-
MIA act, on the part of East Pasadena,
is well worthy of study by other COM
munities in this neighborhood. IN the
consideration of it the fact should be
kept in mind that the value of consol-
dation in this section has passed the
experimental stage. Its value has been
demonstrated in the experience of Los
Angeles within quite recent years. We
all remember the rugged country hills
of Garvanza. the dormant and seedy
West Pico district, and the uninviting
fatlands of Vernon, prior to their an
nexation to the city a very few years
ago. Look at them now!
1t is the Southern California spirit of
progress that is pushing East Pasadena
into the midst of the greater city's
prosperity. The momentum of Pasa-
denas progress will be the making of
the eastern suburb, just as the similar
momentum of Los Angeles was the
making of the Vernon, West Pico and
Garvanza suburbs.
And who is so lacking in discernment
as not to see the present lesson taught
by this experience? Los Angeles, great
as it has become, is only in the infancy
of its urban development. Growing in
population at the rate of a double in
less than half a dozen years. as it has
been doing since the beginning of this
decade, Los Angeles will be a city of
half a million Inhabitants before an
other half dozen years have passed, and
a city with a million of population a
dozen years hence.
Outlying Los Angeles communities
that now have the opportunity should
emulate East Pasadena by unfurling
the annexation and Progress" banner
and joining in the march of prosperity
under the leadership of the destined
metropolis of the Pacific coast.

Mr.. ROOTS LARGE JOB

Secretary Root in going to the Pan
American congress is undertaking a
very delicate mission one which, if he
handle it successfully, will add vastly
to his reputation for diplomacy and
probity
One profoundly momentous question
is to come before this body. 1t is:
Shall European Cor other) nations to
whom American nations are debtors,
either directly or because they stand
behind their citizens, have the right to
collect those debts by force of arms?
In other words, may creditor nation
attack or invade a debtor nation, seize
upon and occupy its territory and hold
it and its customs until the debt be
satisfied?
At first glimpse, it would seem that
the answer on the part of the United
States to this query would be simple.
How else may a nation collect a just
debt save by force Of arms, or threats
Of the same sort? We have debts due
us and our citizens in Turkey. for in
in any other way; a warship is the only
dun the sublime porte recognizes. And
the Ottoman empire is the essence of
stability, reliability and sanity COM
pared to many of the hy-by-night ad-
mnistrations among our southern
neighbors.
But, on the other hand, the United
States long go promulgated what is
known as the Monroe doctrine. The
essence of that doctrine is that no
European power may obtain any more
of a foothold on either American con-
tinent than it possessed at the time We
enunciated it. The Monroe doctrine is
fetch among us, we worship it, and
every time it is questioned the eagle
screams till his tail feathers rattle.
| True, Europe does not officially recog-
nize this edict, and no test of it has
ever arisen save in the case of Maxi
milan, and then France was in no
! position to act i'm defiance of it, Be
sides, that was hardly a square issue in
that the unfortunate ruler set up a
kingdom nominally his own. However
Europe has been mighty careful not tc
put the doctrine to an issue-especially
since the Spanish-American war.
Now the South American republics
insist that the warship bill-collectol
must not be recognized. Europe asks
why not?" They reply The Monroe
doctrine" and then ask the United
States "Is it not SOP"
In a way, it is; a warship in al
American harbor and a force ashore ir
charge of the customs, and mayhap Of
the government itself, is certainly Z
'foothold." on the other hand, tn,
shifty, r-changing South American
governments recognize no other method
of collecting so efficient, and if we say
the Monroe doctrine does apply the,
know that they are immune from dunl
forevermore. In a word, we are asked
TO protect a lot of deadbeats agans

ENGINEER WlSNER DIES
IN HIS DETROIT HOME

OWENS RIVER BOARD
Three Weeks Ago Distinguished Ex-
pert Signed Contract to Lend His
Services to Los Angeles and Was
Expected Here Soon

Robert Y. Wisner, who was to have
been one of the engineering corps to
report on the Owens river and who
was about to leave his home in Detroit
to come to Los Angeles for that pur-
pose, died in the former city yester-
day.
Wisner had a wide reputation as an
engineer and was said to have been
one of the best in that profession.
Three weeks ago Wisner signed a
contract with the city to become one
of the three members of the board to
report on the Owens river project
The names of the three engineers
who will finally do the work for the
city have not been made public and
