REGISTRATION FIGURES

The increase in the number of voters
registered in Los Angeles this year, as
compared with the registration two
years ago, is more than 10000, The
figure in 1904 was $4,000 and the total
footing this year will exceed $1,000 The
latter figure exceeds the registration of
San Francisco and proves that Los An
geles leads all other cities west Of st.
Louis in population.
1t should be noticed, however, that
the registration of this year does not
show the full number of voters in the
city as nearly as did the registration
two years ago. A presidential election
always brings a larger percentage of
voters to the polls than an election in
the mid-preside or "of" election
year. II this were presidential year
it is safe to say that the city registra-
tion would reach fully $1,000.
1t appears from the figures, which are
incomplete at this writing, that the
number of voters i'm the city is about
two-thirds of the total for the county.
The city and county registration COM
bined viii approximate 10000. Taking
into account the failure of many voters
to register because of the "off" year. it
may be fairly assumed that the present
registration for the county including
the city. would reach $1,000 IL this were
presidential election year,
In the election two years ago the
total vote cast in Los Angeles city and
county was $500. Making liberal al
lowance for voters who register but
subsequently fail TO vote there Is
obviously present increase of nearly
10000 voters, even considering the light
Democratic vote of 1904.

of Los Angeles county aceords with the

ONIONS AND MATRlMoNY

The New Jersey professor who cele-
brated the sixteenth anniversary of his
marriage with an onion banquet has
strange ideas of the compatibility of
things. onions and matrimony-how
discordant they clink and clash to-
gether! Those sweet memories, when
he and his sweetheart sat close together
on the big front porch, or walked side
by side in the smiling moonlight, to be
awakened once more by a dish of fried
onions!
People like opions, most people do
raw, fried or boiled--and they eat them
in spite of surrounding circumstances.
There is certain show of independ-
ence in eating onions. 1t is as much as
to say: II am my own man. 1 have
the courage of my convictions. I eat
what l want. 1 eat onions when I can
get them, and whoever doesn't like the
smell of onions can get out of the way"
and they generally do. But just how
matrimony and onions blend together
must be CLINT of occultism unfathom-
able except to a professor Or. perhaps,
when he first met his sweetheart in the
cleaning they had both been eating
onions. and had a fellow feeling for
each other. 1t must be something like
this, some little cozy corner in the past,
pervaded by the redolence of onions.-

CHANGES IN CHARTER

City Attorney Mathews suggestions
to the city council favoring important
amendments to the city charter should
be promptly embodied in an ordinance
for submission to the people.
An amendment giving to the board of
public works control of the money to be
expended in the Owens river enterprise,
without intervention by the council or
mayor, is specially desired by the tax
payers of this city. who are unanimous
in their anxiety to keep this great
project out of partisan politics.
Another amendment authorizes five
members of the board of education to
pass upon demands for money instead
of six, as at present required. The
reasons for this are obviously to pre-
vent delay such as we had this spring
for several months.
A third provision will exempt un-
skilled laborers and all persons en-
ployed in the construction of public
works and Improvements from the civil
service regulations. This is horse
sense" on the face of it.
The amendments proposed by Coun-
Gilman Smith are also of the greatest
importance. 1t is a fact that no new
street railway construction has been
done under the 21-year franchise limit,
and the limit should be restored to the
40-year period. Likewise the question
Of freight-carrying on electric lines
ought to be settled, and a vote of the
people thereon is necessary.
In short the changes suggested by the
city officers are entirely in harmony
with public opinion expressed in many
ways on different occasions, and all that
seems necessary in order to put them
into the charter is for the city council
to give the public a chance to formally
indicate their approval, as the law re-
quires.

ST, HELENA TODAY

The lonely inlet of ST. Helena is a
kingdom in little with an Indifferent
future which may be summed uo in
one word, manganese" There is a
governor, who recei - GSo0 year, be-
sides 5000 table allowance and has a
staff the principal officers Of which
take about $1,000 year among them.
All this human machinery is required
to secure the welfare of a population
numbering some $500 souls. In fact,
ST. Heena's claim as a resort for ship
ping has almost disappeared, only forty
vessels having called there last year,
while the military garrison of the
"rock" has been reduced to a mere
handful. Still, the governor continues
to produce an annual report of over
forty octave pages. A thrilling item
from this document is the story of the
illness of the printer and the gallant
efforts of his assistant. who with the
aid of the postoffice clerk managed to
use up thirty-nine and a quarter reams
of paper! The only bright exception"
in the lugubrious report is the fact that
some enterprising prospector from the
Cape succeeded in finding large deposits
of manganese ore, and the hope thus
engendered that company may think
it worth while to work them.-London

SAVE THE HARBoR

San Pedro never will be deep water
harbor unless the frontage grabbing by
corpora tions he stopped effectually and
at once. Congress will not appropriate
another dollar for the harbor improve
ment under present conditions. San
Pedro will be an insignificant dot on
the coast map and the Los Angeles
prospect for worlds port will fade as a
dream unless the voice of warning is
needed Immediately.
That information came as a jar to
the people Of both San Pedro and Los
Angeles, IN the words of Congressman
Ransdell of louisiana, as reported in
yesterdays Herald. Mr.. Ransdell is not
only a member Of the rivers and har-
bors committee Of the house, but is also
chairman Of the executive committee of
the national rivers and harbors con-
gress. He speaks from personal knowl-
edge, and il behooves both Los Angeles
and san Pedro to respond with alac-
rity.
The first thing to consider in the
acute situation pointed out Is the abb
soute necessity for an effectual alliance
between this city and San Pedro. Con-
ditions to which Congressman Ransdell
points with warning finger make in
innate union imperative. San Pedro is
attempting to fight rapacious corpora
tions and designing neighbors, single
handed, and is lacking in means and
ctf 10 &c, go Io on1
hope of realizing the ambition of a
great harbor at the port city rests upon
the powerful aid in that fight which
Los Angeles is ready and willing to
afford.
The distinguished visitor from Louisi-
Angeles district, the latter also a MEM
Der of the rivers and harbors commit
tee. both declare emphatically that con-
gress will appropriate no more money
for the harbor work under present con-
ditions. AS Mr.. Ransdell said, "Con-
gress is not going to spend money un-
less the general public is going to re-
ceive full benefit of that expenditure"
Harbor or no harbor. That is the
issue in a nut shell. If we are to have
a harbor al San Pedro the powerful
backing of Los Angeles must be in
vol<ed, and that is possible, to full ex-
tent, only by jointure of the two cities.
The way to effect that jointure has been
clearly pointed out. 1t can be accom-
plished as easily as the union of Ver-
non, Garvanza and the Pico district
with Los Angeles was effected few
years ago.
But the time for discussion has
passed. The warning voices just heard
admonish the two cities to get together.
in true California fashion. without the
unnecessary loss of a day.

LOCAL POSTOFFICE RUSH

The Los Angeles postoffice is so over
run with business that Postmast
Flint has sent a long telegram to the
postmaster general urging that Los An
geles be included among other cities
which will, after October 1, discontinue
the backstamping of mail. The main
office, this city, requires the work of
three and half men to backstamp in
coming mail. In addition heavy mails
from overland trains are quite seriously
delayed waiting for backstamping. No
real advantage is gained by letter
showing backstamp, for there is not
more than one case in hundred thou
sand where any delay occurs and where
any particular advantage would be
gained by having it shown the exact
hour when a letter reached the post
office, but it is a decided advantage to
ali business men and will expedite the
delivery of business mail if this service
can be discontinued and mail imme-
diately delivered upon receipt instead of
being held for backstamping.

MARRIAGE MADE MIsoEMEANoR

The rule of the Boston school COM
nittee making the marriage of women
teachers equivalent to their resignation
VIII brush away certain sophistries as
to why educated girls do not marry.
1t may not be Surprising to find Boston
putting a premium on spinsterhood. But
here is matrimony virtually made a
misdemeanor, with the penalty of loss
of position!
The adoption by employers of regula-
tions regarding the conjugal condition
OF employees and the drawing of the sex
line in business life are interesting de-
velopments of modent social conditions
Women are barred from employment on
some railroads because of their physical
inaptitude for promotion to positions
demanding masculine capacity. Two
years ago it was seriously proposed by
General Corbin that army officers de-
string to marry should be required to
ask the consent Of the war department
after giving proof of ability to support
a wife. Marriage Is encouraged among
the employees of Swift & Co., the Chi
cago packers, by wedding presents of
$50 each to clerks taking wives.
This patronage of matrimony is i'm
gratifying contrast to the official ban
placed on it in the Boston schools. In
each instance there is a suggestion of
new influences at work, the tendency of
which will be to complicate what was
once a simple problem.-New York

CHURCH AND CIRCUS

II has been estimated that more Los
Angeles people were under the circus
tent last Sunday than we're gathered
i'm all the city's churches This exhibit
was not due to depletion Of church at
tendance because of the circus at least
not to any considerable extent. There
was no especially noticeable decrease in
the number Of pew occupants The per-
sons who Witnessed the circus per-
formance were generally non-members
of the churches.
Why is 1t that a circus, a ball game
or any other notable attraction of the
kind will draw immense crowds of peo-
pie while pews in most of the churches
are comparatively empty? The ques-
tion is of more Importance to-leaders i'm
religious endeavor than is the discuss
sion over the surreptitious means
whereby the circus people obtained off,
cial permission for their Sunday per-
formance.
1t requires but little study of this
subject to perceive that the great mass
of people cannot be induced to respond
to such invitations as are offered by
most Of the churches. Dreary sermons
and monotonous services generally are
repellant rather than attractive to the
average person who is not church
member. If such a person be induced
TO attend service he is apt to have
his mind fixed elsewhere than upon the
sermon, and the benediction is the only
feature that he really enjoys.
The lesson that seems to be taught by
the disparity between chur, Ii and cir
Gus attendance is this: If leaders in
religious effort hope to attract crowds
of non-members they must offer more
inviting programs than most of them
offer now. The preference of outsiders
for church services in which high-c class
music is introduced gives an intimation
of what is needed to popularize the
churches. Something more entertain
ing than an orthodox dissertation and
more cheerful than the usual prayer
and hymn is needed to awaken inter-
est.
The churches which draw the largest
congregations in this twentieth century
era, are those which offer the brightest
sermons, on religious lines appealing
to the intelligence of an audience, and
supplemented with the best obtaina BILE
