ReIaaoo,s Peculiar WAY.

Once Belasco had been for weeks
stubbornly contending with an immal-
leable third act while the first two
were already in rehearsal,
81 have it at last" he exclaimed,
with a grateful air of relief, as he en-
tered the theater to conduct the re-
hearsals. 'Now I'll take two days off
and write the dialogue"
Two days to write an act! That H.
lustrates how little Importance he at
taches to the actual process of formu-
lating expressions. He had taken
weeks to construct the skeleton which
these words were to clothe. He might
rip them into tatters and strip them
from his skeleton two or three times
more bsfore gaining the effect he had
in view, for with true dramatic in
stinct he strives to let the action tell
the story.-From "How Belasco Stages
a Play" in Bohemian.

A NOBLE CHARITY

Plans arc making for a benefit for
the victims of last weeks gas explo-
sion. The idea is to raise money
enough through this means and by
direct subscriptions to cover hospital
expenses and give new start to the
sufferers. Most of those injured in
the explosion were poor persons with
others dependent upon their small
wages. The catastrophe is thus made
doubly hard to them; added to their
great physical sufferings are the mem
tai and financial worries which the
former have brought about.
Nothing can be done by the general
public to tighten the pains of these
poor creatures; science has exhausted
itself and has performed its utmost.
But science cannot aid them finan-
cialy. The good citizens of Los An
geles can do this, and they should.
Already subscriptions have been opened
for this purpose, but funds raised by
this means will neither be adequate
nor sufficient to cover the necessities
U
offers one more means to this end, and
it should be pushed forward and most
literally supported.
Theatrical people are counted among
the most generous on earth. They
have freely volunteered their services
for this enterprise and have over
whelmed the projectors with proffers
of services. The bill to be presented
will undoubtedly far exceed in money
value the price of admission. Thus
those who fear to part with dollar
without tangible return will certainly
obtain the worth of their money,
while on the other hand those unable
to contribute any considerable sum
will be able to give their mites with
the assurance that every dollar will
go to relieve acute suffering that can
be palliated in no other way.

LOS ANGELES AND SAN PEDRO

City Attorney Hewitt's opinion TO the
effect that n the people Of Los Angeles
and San Pedro shall elect to merge
their cities, new municipal election
for Los Angeles will have to be imme-
diately called and held, should not act
as a deterrent Of the process Of merg-
ing the cities named.
The merger election already called
should be held and there should be an
overwhelming vote in favor Of the union
Of Los Angeles and San Pedro.
Then call the election, required by the
statutes, for municipal officers, but ar
range It so that such an election will
be the merest formality.
Put up but one ticket, composed en-
tirely Of the persons-good, bad and In
different-elected at the last municipal
election.
Simply have It understood by and be-
tween all the political parties that no
advantage must be taken of the dilem-
ma into which the Southern Pacific
railroad and It's state assembly has
driven the people OF Los Angeles.
Garry out the requirements Of the
statutes by going through the form OF
electng, without opposition, all the
present city officials.
with such an arrangement the con-
soidation of Los Angeles and San Pc
dro can be readily effected and the cor
poration machine can whistle for its
palms.

WOMAN WITH THE HOE

Now there is fresh cause for COM
plaint on the part of male GROWERS who
are worried about the competition of
women in the worlds activities. The
latest act of invasion of the assumed
domain of man, by the scripturally
called weaker vessel" is reported from
our later Venice, down by the seaside.
Venice is an offspring of Los Angeles
and it's resemblance to the urban par
ent, in one respect, accounts for the
display of feminine pluck and energy
to which attention is called. 1t seems
that certain streets in Venice, like
those of Los Angeles, are at times bet
ter adapted for gondola service than
for any wheeled vehicle. And when
conditions are unfaVorable for the gon-
doliers' usefulness, the said streets are
wont to resemble swamps, with alterna-
tions of hillOcks and gullies.
AS a consequence of repetaed failure
to stir the proper officials to the point
of street Improvement in Venice, to-
gether with like failure in arousing
male interest in the matter, the ladies
determined to give an object lesson in
doing things. To dress a familiar say
ing in ladyllke language, they took the
calf by the ear. TO drop simile and
use plain phrase, they tackled the
shovel and the hoe,
AS related in The Herald's report
from Venice, the charming ladies of
that charming retreat by the sea
worked out a plan which they sprung
suddenly in this fashion: The party
(of ladies' was conveyed in two auto
mobiles ana a surrey, and two drays
loaded with sand brought up the rear"
Then began the work Of street improve
ment, presumably the swinging Of
picks and the violent agitation of
shovcls
This display Of feminine nerve and
determination is characteristic Of the
women of southern California. In the
initiative of efforts for moral or ma
! terial betterment they always are in
tevidence, and without the force of
4character, tact and energy that dis
itinguish them the wheels of progress
lwould often stick hopelessly in the
mud,
= Los Angeles and its sprightly urban
'Yorood owe very large share Of their
riplendid achievements to such push
'I1Ilnd pluck as those Venetian ladies'
Ieyinced.

ELECTRIC CAR rRnIGHTAoE

Approval by the council OF the plan
for limited freight carrying on the elee.
trio railway gives further evidence Of
practical common sense on the part Of
the new municipal administration.
That quality, as is still freshly remem-
bered, was conspicuous by its absence"
in the official history Of the preceding
administration.
The council has not only approved the
plan Of allowing freight to be carried
on the city's electric railways, under
proper restrictions. but has caused a
bill to be prepared for submission to
the legislature empowering cities to
make terms with street railway COM
panies for carrying freight. Such a
measure Is necessary to enable the city
to exact payment for the licensing of
freight cars.
The Importance of making this freight
carrying provision was clearly demon
strated In The Herald when the subject
was under consideration by the former
council II was shown that the business
interests OF the, city approved the
proposition that it offered an ideal
method for transporting market produce
and that 1t would be a general public
convenience. But the policy of stub
born opposition to electric railway ex-
pansion defeated the purpose.
The attitude OF the present council
in favoring the limited freightage plan
on the electric lines is of especial lm-
portance at this time. 1t directs re-
newed attention to the prospect for at
least partial freedom from the tyranny
of the steam railway companies. That
is. it points to relief from such tyranny
I'm the local field comprising the whole
district of Southern California that is
or may be accessible by electric rail-
way lines.
Los Angeles now has electric transit
connection with many points on the
ocean, together with lines reaching
southwark into Orange county and
eastward almost to San Bernardino
county. Within another year, probably,
the connection will extend eastward
over the whole San Bernardino valley
as far as Redlands, seventy miles from
Los Angeles.
To the electric railway system the
people of the whole section tributary to
Los Angeles look hopefully for cheaper
and better facilities for travel and
traffic. 1t has been demonstrated that
electric system can be operated, for both
passengers and freight, at rates far be-
low any possible figures that steam rail-
ways can afford. Practical evidence on
that point is afforded in the fact that
electric lines, all over the United States
are capturing interurban business
wherever the two systems are in CON-
petition.
1t is pleasing to note therefore, the
broadminded judgment evinced by the
city council in thus stimulating, instead
of retarding, the evolution of electric
transit in Los Angeles and it's suburbs.
And in taking this decisive step the
council may be assured that it has the
support of all progressive citizens.
