Some New York man, so the story goes. found years ago that the best breakfast in the world was served every morning at II o'clock to the butchers from the French Market, in a little back room of a saloon on De- catur street. and told a few friends about if.

The dining room remained unchanged, the single long table seated all the guests, and appointments had to be made a week ahead in the winter season to secure a seat, for only the il o'clock breakfast was served.

WHOLESALE TRADE EXPANSION

The suggestive announcement is
made that buildings will be erected at
once for two large Wholesale dry goods
establishments in this city. There are
such establishments here now, but the
coming Of two new ones OF first class
type makes distinct mark IN the evo-
luton Of Los Angeles. The develop
ment Of wholesale business Is an ac-
curate standard whereby to gauge the
commercial progress Of any great city.
Persons well acquainted with business
phases In large cities have seen, within
the last two years, two notable signs
Of the rapid and substantial progress
Of Los Angeles as a great business CEN
ter. This in allusion to the wonderful
expansion Of both commercial and man
ufacturng industries. In retail lines
this city has been noted many years for
its thoroughly modern stores, but the
establishment of large wholesale houses
in many lines is Of comparatively re-
cent date.
So, also, in regard to manufacturing
industries Many large concerns of this
class have been established cutie lately,
while older ones have expanded to
greater proportions as a consequence of
pressure on their capacity. In both of
these great lines of business activity
the growth has been more rapid within
the last two or three years than 1T ever
was before. And ct no period has 1t
been so rapid as at the present time.
1t Is in this surprising commercial
and manufacturing development that
the experienced observer sees unques-
tionable assurance of this cisy's mighty
future as worlds business mart. In
the light of recent and present develop
ment one can readily see that Los An
geles would today be known as l. world
mart If the harbor soon to be realized
had been available some years ago.
But the signs of the times all point
unerringE to one certainty: Before an
other five years have passed Los Ange-
les will be known, throughout the world
as a great commercial and manufact-
uring city, having a magnificent harbor
for its ocean doorway, besides being,
as at present, the most delightful
dwelling place on earth.

RELIGIOUS FAKERS

Even as charity covers a multitude
of sins, so spurious holiness" covers a
multitude of social nuisances in this
land of sunshine. Southern California
appears to be a magnet of attraction for
every species of takers, including the
class in religious guise. 1t is doubtful
if any community on earth suffers as
that are endured simply because Of
their preposterous religious claim.
There should be no restraint upon re-
ligious liberty. but there certainly
should be decided restraint upon the
mockery of religion that is practiced by
the lunatics or idiots who make night
hideous and day horrible" by such
racket as is frequently described in The
Herald's city and suburban news.
The orgies of so-called Holy Rollers
in the neighboring foothill city of Mon
rovia, as described graphically in Fri
days Herald. tally with similar scenes
that frequently annoy citizens of Los
Angeles. The Monrovia dervishes ap-
pear to be in the van as public
nuisances, however, as they go to a
limit not yet reached in this city. The
idea that these fanatics believe sacri-
fetal offerings of child life are a re-
ligious necessity may have no founda-
tion, but the actions and sayings of
the cult as witnessed by outsiders, are
enough to excite horrible suspicious.
There is neither reason nor excuse
for tolerating this class of fanatical
nuisances simply because their per-
formances are in the name of religion.
They should be suppressed or driven
out of every community they infest.
Los Angeles, particularly, has the dis
credit abroad of being an asylum for
all kinds of cranks and takers, and it
would be wise to rid the community of
the whole bunch that may be classed
as public nuisances, beginning with the
religious takers in question.

INTRODUCES INDIA'S BUDGET
Secretary Morley Incidentally Sounds
Note of Warning in
Parliament
BY Aesociated Press.

LONDON, July 2O.-In introducing
the Indian budget in the house of COM
mons today Indian Secretary Morley
sounded a warning note on the neces-
sity of excluding India from the field
of party politics.
Any false step in India would send
Great Britain into confusion infinitely
more dire and disastrous than the false
step taken in South Africa.
"1ndia's case in the free trade con-
troversy can be put in a NUTSHELL" he
declared. Her prosperity and comfort
the growth of her trade and commerce.
the solvency of India hang upon her
exports. The United Kingdom takes
25 per cent of her exports. while Europe
and the far east take rs per cent. Thus
when the people of India asked Great
Britain for preferential duties they
were asking her to discriminate
against three-fourths of her Gus
toners"
Mr.. Morley considered the time ripe
for an advance in the Improvement of
the system of the government of India
With this object in view the viceroy
was instructed to appoint committee
to confer as to how far the extension of
the repealment in the executive coun-

apartment house, where neither woman

only do not get in the police courts, but
seldom get into any court at all. They
are often settled in secrecy before a

Is considerable amount of acrlmony
between husband and wife, but as a
general thing settlement is brought
about on a practical and businesslike
basis. The wife simply strives for all
the allowance she can get, and the OBJ
iect of the husbands lawyer is to keep
the payments down as low as possible
The most pltiful side of family de-
sertion, however, has not yet been
touched upon. The saddest cases by far
are those among neither the very rich
nor the very poor, but in the classes in
between. In these cases the women who
are deserted almost never make any
appeal publicly, nor do they seek relief
from charitable organizations. They
simply do the best they can, either
painstakingly eking out small incomes
for themselves and children by the use
of such abilities as they have-very
by dressmaking, boarding
house keeping, renting rooms to dodgers
and a thousand other ways, or they
live upon the charity of their relatives,
generally doing more and under severer
than If they were actual
ly working for wages. The chances are
that these are women of susceptible
ties, fairly refined well meaning, un-
selfish, but not women. of strong char
acter or magnetic personality. They
have simply failed to enthrall, control
and magnetic the men they have mar
ried, who are generally poor sticks"
Under other circumstances they might
have been very happy.

WOMAN ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS

In the Oregon state election last
month a proposed constitutional
amendment was an issue, in which the
word male was eliminated from
qualifications for voters, thus placing
women on an exact level with men
concerning suffrage. The proposition
was defeated by a substantial majority.
For this result credit is given large
ly to the energetic efforts of the Ore
gon Association Opposed to Suffrage for
Women. That organization is a factor
in a national movement aiming to COM
bat the scheme for woman suffrage in
the United States. The Massachusetts
association. similar to the one in Ore
gon, has just favored The Herald with
copy of it's annual report, which en-
bodies much interesting matter.
The fact that such a widespread anti
suffrage movement exists. in respect
to women, proves the fallacy of the
idea sought TO be conveyed by woman
suffragists that the sex generally is
yearning for the ballot. AS declared
III 'hN ANPpih VI 'iiN hlltdSoiAiStiN vi -
ganization in Massachusetts "only a
small minority of American women de-
sire the elective franchise" The idea
that women now are deprived of any
fright" by reason of allowing their
fathers, brothers and husbands to do
the voting is strenuously opposed.
For evidence that woman suffrage
does not exercise such an uplifting"
power for women as the suffragists
claim, attention is called to the ex-
perience of states in which the sex
are on an exact equality in the right
to vote. Those states are Colorado,
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. The per-
tinent question is asked, Are women
in those states happier or more ef-
ficient because Of woman suffrage? Z?
Do the men in those states find, be-
cause women participate in the ma
chinery of politics, that political and
business methods are purer and pro-
ductive of better results; that COM
munity and family inter SITS are more
secure?"
