commercial detective organizations that
have earned the confidence Of business
men.
Taking as an example the Chicago
case, It is evident that the true
character of the president Of that con-
Germ. and Of the cashier as well, might
have been known to the directors long
before the sudden revelation that the
bank was ruined? The disclosures
show that during at least FIVE years
prior to the banks collapse, the presi-
dent had been fraudulently using the
banks funds for wildcat speculations
and disreputable personal enjoyment.
The rottenness of the cashiers char
acter. according to the reports, was
familiar In low social circles. All that
is now revealed might have been
brought to light long ago, in time to
avoid the distress that has befallen
many thousands of people whose saw
ings were swept away.
A custodian of the peoples money
should meet the Caesarian test of be-
ing above suspicion. For assurance on
that point street car company relies
upon the reports of it's spotters-not
upon relatively sanctimonious appear
ances nor pharisaical action.

gagement of Bourke Cochran, who has
been called the golden-tongued orator
of the Democratic party, and represen-
tatve from New York in congress, to
Miss Annie Ide.
While on the Oriental journey Mr.
Cochran was exceedingly attentive to
the young woman, but scoffers an
swered that the representative from
New York was an admirer of the en-
tire sex. From the general to the par
ticular is the natural trend of human
thought, however, and a man cannot
be content with mere distractions
while Cupid is up aloft as he sails.
The other young women who were
on the trip Cupid keeps a watching
eye upon. Miss Mabel Boardman has
more than one suitor. The most de-
voted is one who accompanied the
Taft expedition. Miss Amy Macmillan
had two admirers aboard. She spends,
it is said, all her leisure trying to
decide between them. Miss Cornelia
Hartman, the daughter of E. H. Har
riman, although not engaged. is in
that process known as the stage of
contemplation. Miss Carol Hartman is
too young to be engaged. She is still
in the thralldom of school and short
skirts. But the force of example is
tremendous.

MORALLY DERELICT BANKERS

Glaring defects of character are dis
covered, almost invariably in bank Of
ficiaIs who prove recreant to their
nent in society and often they are
conspicuous church members. This So
cial and religious prominence is su-
perficial certificate of character that
passes at par value until the jar caused
by an official bank examiners notice
tackled on the door of the financial con-
Germ. Then comes the discovery that
the apparently valid certificate of char
acter was spurious; that the defaulting
official was a social pervert and per-
haps a religious hypocrite, and that
instead of being man of honor and
virtue he was a libertine or a gambler
in some form, probably both,
Then why are not custodians of the
peoples money subjected to tests cal
culated to reveal their character? Why
not take time by the forelock through
systematic methods, to determine
whether such custodians are really
above suspicion, as they appear to be
superhcially, or whether they are Sc
cretly such characters as the president
and the cashier of that recently looted
Chicago bank?
A railway company, for instance,
takes no chances in the outward ap-
pearance uf a man who is engaged TO
handle fares. The most sanctlmonious
looking conductor employed on a Los
Angeles street car line knows that
spoilers" are on the watch to see
whether he is inclined TO filch nickels.
The stockholders of bank surely are
entitled TO as effective measures for
safeguarding their interests as rail-
way managers adopt for protecting
their stockholders. Not only railway
managers, however. adopt means OF
testing the honesty and the general
moral bent of men who handle their
money. In the big cities, and possibly
TO some extent In Los Angeles. it is
a business custom In many lines foI
employers to keep in close touch with

RECOGNIZING THE STATE HUB

A dispatch from Petauma reports a
significant meeting held last Wednes-
day at the chamber of commerce. Rep
resentatives of several counties con-
tiguous to Marin. the county of which
Petaluma is the seat, We're present
Petaluma is about forty miles from San
Francisco and the entire district repre-
sented at the meeting lies within two
or three railway hours of that city.
The purpose of the meeting referred
to, as stated in the dispatch was "to
form an organization to cooperate in
proper advertising at Los Angeles and
other southern points in California"
The cities represented at the meeting
were Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Napa
Ukiah, Willis and HealGsburg.
The action thus taken is a distinct
recognition of the fact that Los An
geles is the hub of California, toward
which converges the great volume of
travel to the state. San Francisco, by
reason of its deplorable plight, has
ceased to be an attraction for strangers.
1t will take years to reconstruct that
city and make it attractive to tourists.
The people of cltie4 and counties rep
resented at the Petaluma meeting cam
not afford to wait for the rehabilitation
of San Francisco, hence their deter
mination to make Los Angeles the CEN
trail point in efforts to attract the at
tention of tourists to their home
country.
Los Angeles will welcome the plan
proposed at Petaluma, and would be
pleased to see 1t expanded so as to in
clude all other sections of the state. AS
The Herald has remarked heretofore,
whatever is helpful to the prosperity of
one section of California is helpful to
all. Nothing could be more effective
In promoting the interests of the whole
state than a comprehensive plan for
showing, in Los Angeles, the advan-
tages. attractions and appointments
offered throughout the state to home
seekers and investors.
Los Angeles now is the Rome" OF
California, IN the similitudo that "all
roads Lead to 1t. Even before the dis
aster to San Francisco the southern
city was the great focus of travel to
the state. Now that San Francisco is
but little more than the ashes of it's
former self, the great volume of tourist
travel to the state has Los Angeles for
it's objective point.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-19
RUSH OF WINTER TOURISTS

1t is about time for Los Angeles to
get busy again, in anticipation of its
annual influx of winter tourists. This
influx, the coming winter, promises to
break all records. The Southern Cali
fornia winter climate is now thor
oughly recognized as the most ideal on
earth, and Los Angeles is the center of
1t. Also, the conditions i'm San Fran
cisco are unfortunately such that it
cannot care for it's usual share of visit
ors, and these Los Angeles must be
prepared to accommodate as well.
Hence the city should be up and doing
in active preparation forNthe rush to
come.
In a general way Los Angeles is al
ways ready for visitors, for they are
always with us. The summer is as de-
lightful in its way as is winter, and the
influx during the season called in other
places the heated term" is scarcely
less than that during the eastern win
ter. But, as stated, this coming sea-
son will see Los Angeles greatest
crowds. and it is in anticipation of
them that the city should prepare.
Los Angeles, in the first place, needs
more hotels, flats. apartments and
homes for her visitors. The present
accommodations could not supply the
demand last year and will not begin to
equal it this time. Quarters for the
tourists are imperative, and every
effort should be made to furnish them.
Then, several Improvements now
half done should be completed. The
lighting of Hill and Main streets
should be consummated. The oil
ing of miles of residence streets
should be pushed to completion before
the rains set in. Much sewer work is
required to see various regions through
the wet season. The consolidation of
pole lines has been made possible and
should be pushed rapidly, to the great
identification of the residence dis
tricts. Trolley line extensions made
'on paper" for some weeks past should
be made actual. Owl car service is
imperative; it is now in process of
evolution, but is moving so slowly that
it should be expedited in every possible
way.
These are a few things that Los An
geles should be looking after right now.
The summer offers opportunity for
preparation for the winter rush. Get
busy, and don't lose any time in
doing it.

DISREGARD PROTEST
AGAINST NEW CRANE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS is
AGREEABLE
LlewelIyn Iron Works May Proceed
With the Erection of Lighting
Machine Despite the Pleas of Judge
Mckinley

Tables were turned on Judge ]. w.
Mckinley by the board of public works
yesterday, when the board denied his
protest against a travelling crane
wanted by the Llewellyn Iron works
across Magdalena street.
Yesterday was the first time since
the Southern Pacific began to send
Judge Mckinley before the council that
he has not been granted whatever he
chose to ask. 1t was also the first
time he has ever appeared before q
body as protestant. Here
tofore he has always been a petitioner,
and whatever 1t was he chose to ask
1t was granted him, not because any
personal friendly feeling has been en-
tertained toward him by the city Off
cials. but because he has always rep
resented the Southern Pacific, that
powerful corporation that is said to
elect most of the city officials and keep
them in office as long as they behave
we'll toward the Southern Pacific.
The Llewellyn Iron works asked
permission to erect a travelling crane
over Magdalena street In order TO
transport material into it's yards.
Judge Mckinley protested that it was
apt to prove a menace to pedestrians
and teams. In this case he represented
j. D. Hooker.
The board of public works laid all
aside yesterday morning
and i'm an automobile went to the
street in question. In the opinion of
Mr. Anderson, president of the board,
a travelling crane at this point would
not prove a serious menace to traffic,
as the street had the appearance of
being entirely free from traffic for a
good many months. Acting ON these
rh w
the council that the permit for the
CRANE be granted.

Back Home

l heard the east a-calling; had to heed
it's voice:
! journeyed over mountain; over
plain;
But now I've come back hither-how
my heart does rejoice!
don't think will e'er go east again.
1t was good to see the desert-it re-
minded me of here
By contrast-and the snowy noun
trains too.
Looked very fine and glist'ning; tho
their heights were rather drear
They certainly were awesome things
to view
The corn clad plains of Kansas, bask-
ing in the torrid sun,
With miles on miles, sea of golden
grain.
Called forth my ordinations when our
ride had just begun.
While Missouri's rolling hills none
could disdain.
Yes, I reveled in the glories of the
smiling middle vest
Which is far enough back east for
anyone
But I very soon decided that old Cali
fornia's best.
And henceforth, beyond the desert I
shall shun.
For the sun was like a gilded disc of
FURNISHED, cruel brass;
It's heat was like blast from furnace
door:
The atmosphere was murky; it weighed
on the lungs like gas.
And it either was just sitting or
'twould pour!
Then l missed the palm and pepper, the
acacia and the rest.
The orange, lemon. olive. green all
year;
l longed for floral hedgerows and the
trim lawns had no zest;
They have no blossoms such as rest
here!
l missed the glorious ocean. the free
dom and the cheer;
The spirit of the city and the land:
1t was cramped and close and crowded.
and there wasn't room to hear
How folks can live back there, dye
understand?
SO turned me west. full westward. and
I've come back here to stay
No more for me the east or all its
worth;
oh, may go and visit in that country
some fine day.
But Californias home to me, hence
forth! w. II. C.

cARPETER AGAIN ARRESTED
Son of Colorado Judge Is Charged
With Issuing Worthless
Checks

Chief of Police Auble received notice
from the Oakland police yesterday to
the effect that L. B. Carpenter, re-
leased recently from the city jail on
charge of passing WORTHLESS checks,
has been arrested in Oakland ON a
similar charge.
Carpenter is the son of a Colorado
Judge, who, it is claimed. has made
good previous charges against his son.
Carpenter was arrested in this city
early IN the spring for cashing a check
at the Saddle Rock restaurant. which
was later proved to he fraudulent, the
police say.
He was sentenced to a term in the
city jail and was only released a few
weeks ago.

JOHN G. WooLLEY ON BRYAN

John G. Woolley, editor of the New
Voice and one of the ablest writers and
orators in America, has the following
to say OF William Jennings Bryan;
ON the 18th of September he will
land in New York, the most popular
man in America and president select
Of the United States.
He wins not by being shrewd, but
by being right, and true to himself.
He wears his honors, as he wore the
weeds OF his defeat-like a calm,
strong. honest man
He shows no great concern
about the presidency but he takes no
chances on his own untarnished name.
II the people make Bryan
president they viii at least know what
they have got In the White House."

CHILE. ON ArLANTIc COAST

earthquake in Chi. eastern readers
win be inclined to say that this is an
other disaster to Pacific coast city.
As a matter Of fact. Chile is due
south Of New 4ork city and has no
geological connection with the Pacific
coast.
This may be surprising information
to many people-even in Calfornla-so
let us quote the authority for the state
ment
Marion Wilcox, IN the Encyclopedia
Americana. thus describes and defines
the South American country:
South America, a continent joined
to Central America at about latitude 8
degrees north, longitude a degrees Is
minutes west by the Is,hmus of Darien,
the boundary line between Colombia
and the new republic of Panama being
taken as approximately the limit Of
South America on the northwest That
line is nearly DUE SOUTH OF WASH
INGTON, d. c. The westernmost point
on the South American coast is d.
RECTLY SOUTH OF THE PENN
SULA OF FLORIDA, with the extreme
northerly point, projecting into the
Caribbean sea, and, at the extreme
south, the archipelago of TERRA del
Fuego, adjoin 70 degrees west, the
longitude of Cape Cod, Mass. Thus we
see that the Pacific coast and half of
the Caribbean coast of South America
LIE EXACTLY SOUTH OF THE AT
LANTIC COAST OF THE UNITED
STATES"
This ought to be sufficient authority
for anybody.
Eastern people who may imagine that
the Chilean earthquake signifies more
trouble on the Pacific coast should bear
the fact in mind that the trouble is
due south of New York, not of San
Francisco. 1t is a trouble that has
afflicted the Atlantic coast, not the
Pacific.
Attention is called to this point just
now because it is important to our
own people who may unthinkingly get
the same impression held by their
friends in the east that this is another
far western earthquake, and thus re-
vive in their minds the horrors of the
San Francisco disaster and of presumed
similar dangers along the Pacific coast
line.
AS proof of the fact that the geologi-
cal formation of Chile is directly con-
of the United States, anu not with the
western ranges of mountains, attention
is called to the announcement, made
Friday afternoon, that the Chilean
earthquake was plainly recorded by the
at Washington, D. c.,
while the seismograph at Berkeley, Cal,
failed to show even the slightest trace
of disturbance. Moreove~ the tremor
is reported to have been felt bodily in
All these facts surely should be con-
elusive that the earthquake disaster in
Chile is a disaster to the Atlantic coast
line of geological formation and not to
the western coast.
It's bad enough. God knows, for any
section, and The -+erald does not refer
to these facts in any carping or local
feeling, but merely for the purpose of
exactly fixing in the public mind the
and geological location of
a tragedy which gives promise of being
second only to that of San Francisco.
Our sympathy is just as broad and
deep, and help, f needed, will be just
as quickly forthcoming, no matter the
or the latitude wherein the
necessity for help exists.
