INDUSTRIOUS WRONG

tound the people who looked for great
sums, but dared not go to the limit
reached by the facts. In some cases
thousand per cent in profits was
made, and when the mind travels back
over the millions of bye roads over
which this tremendous treasure passed
1t finds in the examination that the
very poor and very needy of all the
masses are they who made up the sum
from slender means or starvation
wages. Normal manhood feels the
spur of a just Indignation at thought
of this and demands the fullest repar-
alton by these leagued devils who have
coined wealth from the novels, sheds
and garrets that house millions Of our
poorest people and dared to hold UP
their heads among good-hearted and
honest men. Some wrongs are so glar-
ing and mean as to outstrip honest
indignation and leave the heart a prey
to anger, and this wholesale robbery
of the very poor under the mask Of
lawful business is one of them.
John D. Rockefeller, during his peri
odical visits to the University Of Chi
cago, sat with President Harper on the
rostrum of the chapel while a thou
sand young men and women were pres
ent. intent on morning prayer. Within
gunshot of him, in any direction, were
thousands of men, women and chill
dren, who in the fierce war for life, dug
food from garbage cans and mar

God really is, with the deserving poor
and needy, he was responsible for a
sale meaner than that of Judas, and
far more cruel, in that Judas, seeing
his crime, repented- never

1t is idle to speculate on the legal
outcome Of this monstrous wrong on
whole nation, but it holds a lesson
which the American people must learn
sooner or later IL they would be free
from similar wrongs; and it is that
unlimited money gives any man or
men unlimited power, and that while
the rights of property are and should
be sacred some legal bulwark is neces-
sary to protect the people from ill-got-

to threaten the very laws which made
its attainment possible, and which even
now has standing that challenges
the government itself. The prompt de-
velopment Of the requisite measures
and the men to carry them out is the
problem of the hour.

= dren of Los Angels today looks
down on the safest warrant the city
has for future prosperity, and though
we have the very cream of opportunity
and achievement to our credit as valu-

up in the hearts and lives of these
little people are, after all, the most
valuable asset of all.
The homes of Los Angeles are her
chief glory, and though gold and silver

tropic lands may freight ships on all
oceans till we can claim supremacy
over all the world beside, still, if our
homes are not the havens of rest and

all manly and womanly virtues, our
riches must be like the tabled fruit of

ashes at the core.
Knowing these things to be true, the
men OF action whose herculean and un-
selfish labors have made Los Angeles
what it is have provided schools and
colleges and necessary appliances and
appurtenances to fit this great army

FAIR DIPSOMANIACS

A CCORDING to Rev. DIR. Frederick
Al r. Hopkins of the Pilgrim Con-
IA gregational church, Chicago, the
genial gin rickey has supplanted the
nut sundae, and ice cream soda is
shelved for the prettier but less in
ocuous Martini cocktail in the hearts
of club women of that vicinity.
According to his assertions, Demon
Rum has Cupid tied to tree in the
city by the saltless sea. The reverend
gentleman is accused of seeking the
spotlight, and it's safe guess he has
found it. His sermons on the subject
have brought out a storm of criticism
from the leaders among clubwomen of
Chicago, but Mrs. Elizabeth A. Reeds,
an author and leader among the brainy
women of Illinois, comes to the sup
port of the daring pulpiteer. She says:
''Women do drink in alarming num-
bers, and if any woman doubts the
truth of this statement let her visit
any of the fashionable downtown cafes
and restaurants of an evening. And

women intoxicated, but DR.. Hopkins
has not said anything upon drunken
ness among women, but that they do
drink Intoxicating liquors in public.
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch,
in her position of justice of the peace,
must know this. Women engaged in
philanthropic work do know it, and
other women should know it before
they assume the role of critics. I have
been in some of the finest homes in
Chicago where wine was served at the
table, though I always have left mine
untouched.
Even If woman is moderate in her
drinking, there is always the tempta-
ton for the weaker members of her
sex to be less so And IL a woman
drinks, can she complain if some night
her husband comes home staggering
when she herself has set an example,
even if it be a mild one? Can she
drink and command her children not
to do so? And there always is the
temptation to go beyond moderation,
and 1t must be recognized.
"Ir I we're in DR.. Hopkins place
not only should warn women against
the habit Of drinking but would include
as wellnigh as dangerous the growing
cigarette habit among members of the
sex. I know also that this habit ex-
lists and is growing, though I suppose

caT and other names for speaking

hand, are hurting jeremiads at the

TOURISTS

Hotel Men Prepare for Season That
They Declare VIII Break All
Former Records for
Traffic

Yesterday was the first day of the fall
season, and with that in mind hotel men
all over Southern California, but particu-
larly those of Los Angeles, are making
elaborate preparations for the coming
tourists. >t course there are prepara lions
made each year. but 1t is more particu-
larly the case now as the managers OF the
various hostelries are expecting a record
breaking season.
Several of the hotels have enlarged theft

office. Now the new office is completed
and yesterday it was occupied for the first
time. 1t is beautifully designed in colored
marble and polished oak, and adds ma
terially to the grace and distinction Of tine
magnificent lobby.
The Alexandria has done little in the
way of making new fixtures or radical
changes. Said Mr.. Whitmore. the mana
ger: Judging from the manner in which
our register is constantly being crowded
we believe that if matters continue at this
rate we will have the most successful
tourist season in the history of Los Ange-
les. This city is assuming more and moro
of cosmopolitan character, and the
many conventions which have been held
here during the last several months add
not a little to the national reputation Los
Angeles is acquiring as resort.
There is nothing to deter the represen-
tative tourist of this country from spend
ing the winter season in this city In pref
erence to a. season In Europe. That
was the old way. 1t is losing its value,
however. as a fad, and California is
growing every year in recognition of it's
appropriate Importance as a resort
Looking over the registers of the vari-
Gus hotels the truth of Mr.. Whitmore S
words is apparent. 1t is plainly evident
from a commercial point of view alone
that the travelling mans visits to this
city are growing more numerous each
year.
Fifteen Thousand This Month
Already trainloads of tourists are ar
riving daily. In the last month more than
Is, 900 people were extended the courtesies
of this city.
The hotels have had their share of this
vast influx and the registers testify to 1t.
The Westminster has been the great at
traction for the automobile tourists.
From all over the country men and wo-
men are registering at the hotels. From
Maine to Florida and from Washington
to the lowest southern point of this state
tourists are here. And that is not all.
Some are registered from Russia and Ger
many, Mexico and Egypt.
c. G. Loomis, co-manager of the Ange-
lus with his brother, Harry Loomis, also
has his views of the coming tourist ser
son. Yesterday he remarked: eff busi-
ness conditions continue as they have been
in the past two months, in spite of the
dullness that summer season usually en-
tails, I should venture to state that the
coming tourist season will be record
breaker. There were a number of in

Fishing, which appeals to so MANY of the
city's sportsmen, is the great thing now at
Chesapeake Beach. If the tales told by the
hundreds of fishermen are taken even with
grain of salt, catches of great size have
been made from the pier and from the
boats that are for hire at the resort, Tay-
