oWL cARs roR Los ANGELES

Through the public spirit and LIBERAL
ity Of Mr. Henry 10. Huntington, The
Herald has secured an owl car ser
vice for Los Angeles. and the people
viii no longer be compelled to tramp
home afoot or hire carriage after
midnight.
This one act small as 1t may appear
to some people. puts Los Angeles on
the map as a city of metropolitan pro-
portions. It emphasizes the fact that
here in Southern California we have
a city Of a quarter million Of people.
"a city that has doubled itself within
five years and will again double itself
during the next Eve years. 1t makes
plain throughout the east the fact that
Los Angeles is a great city-great in
it's business affairs, great in its en-
terprises and particularly blessed in the
public spirit of it's business men and
citizens generally.
1t is true that the initial service of
owl cars includes only two cars. at
1 and o'clock a. M, and the COM
panies reserve the right to withdraw
the service If the loss should prove
too great" but the beginnings are sat
AR.
inaugurated, has ever been withdrawn
in any city of this country. on the
contrary, this character Of service has
been steadily increased, and Los An
| geles would be dealt severe blow
in eastern estimation If the owl cars
should ever be withdrawn.
1t remains only for The Herald to
call public attention to these late cars
and to ask, on behalf of the conceding
companies, that all the patronage pos
sible be given to them. 1t is a distinct
concession to popular sentiment that
this extra service is being inaugurated,
| and it is reasonable to expect that the
public will, by it's patronage, see that
the companies losses are reduced to
| the minimum, and eventually converted
into profit
The Herald feels a trife elated over
the success of it's persistence in ap-
pealing to Mr.. Huntington for the late
night car sercive, as it believes that it
has done something for the public
welfare that will be instantly recog-
nized and appreciated. The uses of a
great newspaper are many and where
newspaper honestly and sincerely
desires to serve the people it consti-
tutes the most powerful Of aids.
And in aiding the people to procure
the car service so universally de-
manded The Herald offers its congratu-
lations to Los Angeles and to all those
enterprising citizens who joined with
us in the movement fraught with so
much interest and crowned at last by
such splendid success.

But now she lets me go ahead to make

To train me mother used to strive with

But now she let's my soul unfold just

She says the clubs splendid thing,

But oh, / wish my father soon would

TIME TO LINE UP

The date fixed for the Democratic
county convention is Thursday, Sept.
20. The time is less than three weeks
distant Thus far unusually little at
tention has been paid to the personnel
of the ticket to be nominated because
of the likelihood of coalition between
Democrats and non-partisans.
But convention time is getting too
close to admit of much further delay
in rough-hewing the Democratic ticket.
It was wise to let the movement for
a joint anti-Republican machine ticket
remain in allegiance until after the
machine had ground out its political
grist at Venice. 1t was well enough,
also, to let the people of Los Angeles
county ponder well the spectacle of the
Republican party in the act of being
forced to swallow the ticket prepared
by the party's dictator at Venice. Suf-
ficient time has elapsed, however, to
determine whether independent Repub-
licans digested and assimilated the dose
administered by Walter Parker
Upon the determination of self-re-
specting Republicans in this matter de-
pends the success or failure of an in
dependent or non-partisan movement
to join with the Democratic party in
an effort to smash the Republican ma
chine. The Democrats of this county
have been. for months in receptive
mood for such a coalition. They now
are ready to respond to any plan that
may give good promise of releasing the
control of county affairs from the
clutch of Parker and his gang.
BUT THERE MUST BE NO MORE
DELAY.
The Democratic party intends to make
a determined fight on the county ticket.
If 1t is to have an ally in the battle-a
Blucher to insure victory-it will glad
ly put shoulder to shoulder in facing
the common enemy. 1t will face the
enemy, however. and fight him to a
finish, ally or no ally.
That is the position of the Demo-
cratic party in this county and if the
independents or non-partisans intend
to fall into line they should bestir
themselves. The strongest possible
county ticket should be pitted against
the machine-made Republican ticket.
There is no time to spare in blocking
1t out II formidable alliance is to be
effected.
1t is unquestionable that a large
element Of the Republican party is ripe
for revolt against the Venice infamy,
and good management alone is neces-
sary to align that element with the
Democrats I'm the county contest.
Vitallze that latent Independent fac
tor in the Republican party and do
IT at once. Let a later Patrick Henry
proclaim TO that element. "Our breth-
rem are already in the field, why stand
we here idle2"

TURNING LEAD INTO GOLD

The ancient alchemists were not al,
charlatans. They were simple men
who were striving-most of them
earnestly and seriously-to find the
secret OIL producing any desired trans
formation of matter. They were irving
to convert one substance into another
by varying the proportions of the con-
stituent elements.
Some of the ablest minds of the
Middle Ages were engaged in the
search. Roger Bacon, Spinoza. Luther
and Leibnitz all believed in the
pniiosophers' stone and in the trans
mutation of metals.
What does modern science hava 70
say on the subject? To the question
Are the elements transmutable IN the
laboratories of nature?" we NAV re-
turn the answer that certain of them
at least are transmutabIe, and il is
probable that In natures laboratories
all of them are being produced from
some simple primordial stuff.
1t seems probable also that the "uni.
versal solvent" which will produce this
transmutation, and which is perhaps
producing II now in the stars, is tenn
perature. But, unfortunately. the tenn
peratures required to produce these
changes are probably forever beyond
mans reach.
But if the secret of this transforms
tions should ever be found. we should
be able to unlock almost Infinite stores
Of energy which we now know 10 he
wrapped up In the atoms of the ele-
mentS.
Should man ever be able to unlock
this energy, he would doubtless look
back upon the day in which his pro
genitors burned coal to warm their
houses and to drive their engines, with
the same curiosity and pity with which
we look back upon the day when our
naked ancestors plowed their fields
with crooked stick and lit their fires
with a spark from fint.-Technlcal
World.

Reports received in this city last
night indicate that the name Of Nathan
Cole. jr., OF Los Angeles for governor
on the Democratic ticket is being well

IN person of his political fortunes. He
Is one OF the best party organizers in
California and he win be tower OF

The Owl Car

A CLEAN of light athwart the night,
A rush. a rumbling roar:
A brilliant streak in instant flight
Then--darkness closes o'erI
A boon to weary workers here
They long have sought in vain
A happy help to pleasurers,
A gift to those in pain.
On thro' the night then speed thy flight!
The owl car all will greet.
Much wanted, it has come at last
All hail. the owl car fleet!
But the poor printers feet.
