Motor Car to Have Regular Run

Southern Pacific officials have at last
decided to put the gasoline motor car
into regular service between Los An
geles and San Pedro and Long Beach
a baggage car trailer was ordered
from the east several weeks ago and
is expected to arrive in Los Angeles
today or tomorrow. When this car
arrives the new service will b regu-
larly established.
The working of the motor car has not
been entirely satisfactory, but the Off
Gals can see great possibilities for just
such service. They say that because
the machinery has broken down once
or twice while the car was in service
it has not lessened the utility of the
car in their minds. They apply the
same theory to this car as to an engine.
An engine frequently breaks down and
has to be put into the shops, and yet
it is a very useful means of locomotion.
If this car breaks down, the service
is entirely crippled because there is
no other car to take it's place.
1t is understood that other cars sim
liar to the one here have been or
dered, but that it will be some time
before these orders can be filled, be-
cause of the small capacity of the
present shops and the demand from
other roads for cars for experimental
purposes.

NEW LIBRARY BUILDING

1t is assured at last that the public
library will be taken out of the city hall
attic and established in quarters be-
fitting its Importance in the life of the
municipality. These quarters are So
cured on such terms that they may be
used until there shall be erected a pub
lie library commensurate with the
growth, standing and dignity of Los
Angeles.
This is we'll, this move. The library
under its present limitations is accom-
plishing only part of its true mission.
Hampered greatly by inadequate and
especially inaccessible rooms, the books
the city now has are unavailable and
the inconvenience in drawing them
keeps many from trying it. In newer
brighter and more spacious rooms, these
difficulties will be obviated.
The library has gone through a con-
siderable season of stress here lately.
Beginning with the disagreeable fea-
lures which led to the supplanting or
Miss Jones by C. F. Lummis, there has
ensued a continual series of chickering's,
Investigations, denominations and dis
GREETINGS which have all but made the
library a thing of scorn. Happily
these now seem at an end. The in
vestigation" was huge farce and ter
minated in a joke. The board was
amply sustained and the status fixed
by the directors holds good. Now, with
a removal to new quarters, all the past
Indebtedness can be left behind and
a new era in the library's influence will
be assured.
But the move should be only another
step toward permanent and exclusive
city library building. That is what
Los Angeles needs and nothing must
be allowed to delay it. No matter how
fine the new rooms. at best they must
he only temporary; and the campaign
for a real library should never be lost
sight of amid the stress.

MUST NOT THROTTLE ARIZONA


In the senate of the United States
yesterday Senator Hopkins Of Illinois
made the astonishing admission that
he opposed the Foraker amendment to
the joint statehood bill for Arizona and
New Mexico for the reason that its
adoption would defeat the pending
measure and make of Arizona single
state"
Now what do the honest and fair
minded free American people think
OF that?
The Foraker amendment provides that
an election shall be held separately in
the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico on the question of single or
joint statehood and that each territory
must show a clear majority in the same
direction to determine the issue. In
other words, both Arizona and New
Mexico must declare for joint statehood
before they can be admitted to the
Union as a joint state.
But isn't that fair? Is that not
American? Is it not democratic?
How else can the will of a free people
be ascertained and determined? All
that Arizona asks is chance to eX-
press itself upon the question that con-
Germs her people more than it does any
other people If she votes for joint
statehood with New Mexico all opposi-
ton from other sources must cease. 1t
is Arizonas business, after she shall
have been given a. fair chance to speak
for herself.
But Senator Hopkins is opposed TO
this proceeding. He says very frankly
and brutally that the people of Arizona
and New Mexico must not be allowed
to speak their minds for fear they will
upset all the eastern Republican ma
chine plans for preventing an increase
of United States senators from the
west. He confesses in open senate that
the territories must not be permitted
a free American expression of opinion
lest they defeat the pending measure
and cause the admission of Arizona as
a single state.
Did any one ever hear of just such
effrontery! Did the people
of this country ever encounter such a
bold admission OF political machine die
tation?
Nevertheless it is in perfect keeping
with the whole Republican program
which President Roosevelt unfortu-
nately approved--to tie up together the
territories of Arizona and New Mexico
for the double purpose of preventing an
increase in the number of western sem
ators and to make sure that whatever
increase is allowed will be Republican.
There is cause for hope, however, in
the very confessions and effronteries
Of the machine senators who have the
joint statehood bill in charge. The
people of the whole country are the
more easily and readily enabled to
the whole question. They |
will be quick to see that the eastern /
who favor the measure
as it stands and who oppose the For
lker amendment are actuated by a
to place Republican poll |
lies and eastern corporation interests
above loyalty to the people and fidelity
% the government under which they
i've
With that fact once thoroughly under
stood there will be some hope that the
oint statehood measure will be throt- |
led and that two years hence Arizona
nay come into the Union as she de-
serves to come-with her autonomy I'M
and the American flag flying
1t her topmast.

The state Democratic harmony ban
quet in Los Angeles on the evening of

Gratis from all sections of the state, as
guests of the Los Angeles Democratic
club. 1t is proposed to be love-feast.
1t is designed to signalize the getting
together in harmony of all the elements
that may make for the success of
Democracy next fall, and to fraternize
over plans for the campaign. The fact
that Los Angeles has been selected as

purpose is a compliment to the fighting

REPUBLICANS ALARMED
AT DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
Grand Army Veteran at Oakland Re-
ports Sweeping Movement Against
the Republican Machine

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 27.-(Editor
HERALD; That organized opposition to
latter day Republicanism is feared by
the party in power equal to an impend-
ing visitation of cholera is evidenced by
the way 'the CALLED jade winces"
in the futile efforts Republican newspa-
pers endeaVor to neutralize your bugle
calls of warming, asking the people to
rally as one man to drive the cor
morants from place and power in the
nation.
By the use of the most shameless
frauds, which convicted chicken thief
would blush to employ the Republican
managers have succeeded in hoodwink-
ing the people into supporting their
men and measures at each recurring
election.
And why men who act honestly in
transactions with their fellow man per-
sist in giving official life to that roy
ally-inclined party is an inexplicable
mystery. Men desert their wives and
children, leave their church, lodge or
club, but rally to the aid Of the pu-
crescent party of plundering patronage
and fat position with the alacrity a
whipped spaniel retrieves a dead duck
from the ice-cold waters of the bay at
the beck of his eXacting master.
OF the supplicating class who kiss the
hand that smites them, the chronic
officeholder is the most despicable. Re-
publican managers at Washington,
knowing the potency of official power
and peculiarities, have multiplied thou
sands of useless positions which are
utilized as ''retrievers" by the man
ayers on election days.

IN EXILE

Written for The Herald.
There is land where peak and noun
tain height
Stand covered in their mantle dazzling
white
Down at their feet the mountain torrent
roars,
And high above the silent eagle scars
There is a stream where fairies play at
night;
Their white forms dance in haze of
summer light
A gentle breeze from heaven softly
blows,
And on the banks the weeping willow
grows.
There is plain beneath n starlit sky
A vast eXpanse beyond the reach of eye,
Where spirits of a race departed prowl
And in the night coyotes weirdly howl.
That is the land where memories call
to me,
Borne on the wings of hope across the
sea;
The land OF longing and my childhoods
dream
Lies buried there beside the rushing

KEPT THE MONEY TOO LONG
George Waters Plea That He Intended
to Return Companions Cash
Not Accented

George Waters, Pullman car porter,
was examined yesterday afternoon be-
fore Police Justice Austin, charged with
burglary. He was bound over to the
superior court in $500 bonds.
The complaining witness was another
sleeping car porter, T. r. Allen. The
latter said he was in the company of
Waters the other night and after both
got pretty drunk they went to the
Southern Pacific yards, where he
climbed into his car and fell asleep. In
the morning he found $35 missing. He
reported the matter to the police, who
finally located Waters.
The prisoner attempted defense by
saying that he took the money to keep
until Allen should get over his drunk,
but he kept it too long, according to
the court, who ordered him committed,
