AS a nation Panama Is reaching out
and is preparing to place its official
representatives in touch with foreign
nations. The Legislative assembly has
had under consideration the author
lzation of two special diplomatic mis-
sions, one to visit Europe and the
other to make the round Of the Latin"
American countries. BY this means It
is anticipated that agreeable official
relations will be established with
neighboring republics to the lasting
advantage of Panama. President Am
ador Is a strong advocate of this idea,
as his aspirations for the future of his
country In the decades to come. when
the Panama canal may have been made
an International artery of trade, are
practically boundless.
President Roosevelt's visit to the
Isthmus Is fraught with many great
possibilities; in the opinion of officials
here apart from the observations ne
will make as to canal building itself.
International diplomacy furnishes a
field for most unexpected complca-
tions at very lnopportune moments.
1t may be that the presidents visit
will be the genesis of developments In
future years, the Importance of which
no one can predict.

CALIFORNIA; FRONT DOOR
More railroads into the gold fields

More railroads into the gold fields!
Better facilities for freight and pas
senger transportation across the des-
ert
An awakened interest on the part of
Los Angeles business men in the tre-
mendous development of Southern Ne
vada and Arizona
These are the thrilling themes which
have caused such giants of capital as
Senator Clark and Charles M. Schwab
to visit Searchlight, Goldfield and
Bullfrog and then come to Los Ange-
les to confer upon the ways and means
whereby they may be realized.
The Los Angeles, Salt Lake & San
Pedro railroad has just pushed into
the Nevada desert a road northward
from Las Vegas. This has already
although less than three weeks In ope-
ration-given tremendous impetus to
the gold fields.
But more is needed. The new road
must be extended farther, and there
must be another branch into Search
light. The value of a mine depends
almost wholly upon the facilities for
transportation. There are hundreds
of smaller mines already located which
will spring at once into sources of
great wealth if there shall be better
facilities for transporting ore, ma
chinery, men and food supplies.
Los Angeles is vitality interested in
these proceedings. For not only are
local capitalists investing in and de-
veloping the Nevada and Arizona
mines, but Los Angeles is the natural
base of supplies. We have in this city
every necessity of the mines and OF
the builder and provider of cities.
Millions of money are already being
brought here from the grim old des-
ert. Millions more will come with the
opening and development of the new
railway lines.
Hence the mission to Los Angeles OF
such men as Clark and Schwab is of
more than ordinary Importance and
significance.

The public" is sometimes an un-
movable and unguessable quantity. 1t
sat in dumb silence, as if half in appro-
baton. when the city council nervily
and recklessly poured out $4,000 to
$4,000 on voting machines which the
public was advised were utterly worth
less. Now the selfsame public" is
loudly heard in protest at paying stor-
age charges on these machines that
will never be used. Evidently the pub
lie aforesaid being three-fourths or
nine-tenths Republican, presupposed
that the voting machine was some sort
of a clever election device that would
mechanically increase the Republican
majority in Los Angeles. In this the
dear people were about right-only the
machines won't work; hence the indig-
nation.

able. For instance, Los Angeles now
Is equipped with the best and most
strictly modern hotels that can be found
in any city west Of Chicago and st.
Louis.
Hotels have been erected in this city
within the last three or four years
that will compare favorably with the
best examples in American cities of
the million population class. And more
hotels Of like character are projected
to meet the ever-increaslng demand for
the highest type Of hotel accommoda-
tion In this city of magnetic attraction
for tourists and other travellers.
A still more remarkable indication
OF the place Los Angeles now occupies
among metropolitan cities Is seen In
the splendid mercantile establishments
that line the leading business thor
oughfares. Not even i'm the foremost
eastern cities can more completely
down-to-date stores and shops be
found although larger examples are
seen in three or four of the greater
cities In architectural style, equip
ment and furnishing, the prominent
stores and shops of Los Angeles will
vie with the best examples Of such
establishments to be found anywhere in
the United States.
And when 1t comes to the strictly
down-to-date contents of these stores
and shops Los Angeles might safely
challenge any eastern city to a compet-
tive display. View the seasons open
ing displays of the latest fashionable
offerings in the leading stores of New
York, Boston, Chicago or st. Louis,
then come by the first limited train to
Los Angeles. and you will find dupli-
Gates of these latest offerings. This
because buyers for the leading stores
buyers for the big eastern stores with
whom they touch elbows at the foun-
tainheads of fashion in style and goods.
There are some noticeable features in
which Los Angeles lags behind the
greater eastern cities, but we are "hot
on the trail' and are catching up rap
idly. The best evidence that Los An
geles is entitled to a place in the front
rank of the metropolitan group is
found in the consensus of opinion ex-
pressed by visitors from the larger
eastern cities. The substance of that
expression is, at seems just like home
here-the hotels, the stores and shops,
the appearance of the streets and the
attire of the men and women"

JAPAN'S NEW NAVY

The Japanese foster no Illusions con-
cerning battleships. In their program
of naval construction published yes
terday provision is made for battle
ships and 2S cruisers, 16 of which are
to be armored. while the others will be
protected. The significance of this pro-
gram consists in the fact that Japan
has had more experience in naval war
fare than any other nation in modern
times. Her first experience was with
China, when she crushed the Chinese
navy, officered by Englshmen, and her
next was with Russia, to which she left
no navy worth speaking of. She has
fully tested both types of naval vessels,
and, perhaps, all modern types, and she
deems 1t expedient to build more than
three times as many cruisers as battle
ships. She thus confirms the theory of
the late Admiral Colombo. the British
expert, that the coming fighting ship of
the navy will be some kind of a cruiser.
1t will be noted that nothing is said
in the published program of torpedo
boats or submarines. The former ore
probably taken for granted, while the
Japanese, with their usual prudence,
are not taking the world into their con-
fidence regarding the latter. They have
never yet admitted the use of subma-
known that they had six of these boats,
and certain peculiar happenings have
led naval experts to insist that they
were used both in the vicinity of Port
Arthur and in the straits of Fushima.
A few days ago an article was pub
lished giving sketch of an adventur-
Gus New Yorker who accompanied
some of these submarines to Japan and
who was commissioned and placed In
49, saft To ,1y nt
least two Russian battleships, one of
them in the battle of the Sea of Japan,
and was thanked by the Japanese gov
ernment for his distinguished service.
The reason that no mention has been
made of the use of submarines is OBJ
vious. They are a naval engine of de-
struction, and, if an effective one the
Japanese government would desire to
conceal the fact as long as possible. 1t
happens, however, that the two battle
ships which OBrien is now credited
with having sunk are those whose pecu-
liar fate attracted the attention of
naval experts and led irresistibly to the
conclusion that submarines were used.
But the fighting of both torpedo boats
and submarines is seriously limited by
the weather on the open sea. O'BrieD's
boat, after he struck the battleship In
Fushima straits, wGs sadly buffeted by
the seas. The cruisers are the fighters
in Japanese estimation, as can easily
be gathered by their division into
squadrons even before they are built.
They regard battleships as heavy artil-
lery, but if there is nothing else but
heavy artillery, it can be easily
flanked.
There is no better teacher than ex-
perience, especially in the art of war.

METROPOLITAN FEATURES

The opening OF the opera season i'm
the magnificent Temple Auditorium
was brilliant reminder that Los An
geles has attained the stature of a
metropolitan city of the first class.
The new Auditorium, i'm the character
of an opera house is without a parallel
in any city west Of Chicago and st.
Louis. There are but few American
cities of the first class, I'm fact. that af-
ford such splendid equipment for the
production of grand opera as is seen
now in Los Angeles.
But this striking example of metro
politan progress in this city is not
the only feature of such progress that
has recently become especially notice.

things as well as in great things.
Men who will make no compromise
with questionable things.
Men who are willing to sacrifice ,,,,i-
Vate interests for the public good.
Men who are not afraid to take
chances, who are not abroad of fail
ure.
Men who will not have one brand of
honesty for business purposes and an
other for private life.-Citizens' Bull
