The proposed bridge across Seventh
street is a project of exceeding great
Importance and should be pressed to a
speedy conclusion. Seventh street will
be the leading cross-sown thorough
fare for many years to come, and the
bridge is essential to that purpose. The
structure ought to be viaduct, and if
the Salt Lake railroad will refuse to
contribute to the cost unless the bridge
shall have grade crossing terminals,
then let the city pay the difference.
The bridge must be built. and that
speedily.

WHERE CITIES DIFFER

Strikes and lockouts are so rare in
Los Angeles comparatively that it is
difficult for Angelenos to realize the
troubles of that kind with which San
Francisco is afflicted The Industrial
conditions in the two cities, however,
are entirely different. In Los Angeles
the conditions are generally adverse to
ployers and workers, while in San
Francisco everything seems to be ripe
at all times for industrial rupture.
The comparative immunity of Los
Angeles from such trouble is due, no
doubt, to the intelligent consideration
of labor questions by all classes and to
the spirit of fairness-the desire for a
square deal-that actuates both en-
ployers and employees. The broad prin-
ciple is recognized here by all that the
Gripping of any industry by reason of a
strike or lockout is detrimental to
the interests of the whole community.
San Francisco is so terrible an ex-
ample of disastrous ruptures between
labor and capital that both interests in
our city are inclined to profit by obser-
walton and to avoid experience of that
character. The mutual consideration
which is generally manifest in Los An
geles when issues arise between the
two interests is an unknown quantity
in the northern city.
The characteristic "pull together
habit which distinguishes Los Angeles
among large American cities probably
is entitled to credit for the infrequency
of industrial conflicts here. All citizens
are intensely loyal to Los Angeles; all
are pround of its good name and all
appreciate the Importance of avoiding
such tarnish upon the name as smirches
that of San Francisco.
Los Angeles is pre-eminent among
cities in several respects, but in none
in which it's people take greater pride
than the harmony, good will and mutual
consideration which pervade the whole
community.
Just now we happen to have a dis
pute between teamsters and employers,
but it is being conducted upon terms of
mutual patience and forbearance. and
there is every reason to believe it will
be quietly settled within a few days.
Public sentiment in Los Angeles is so
emphatically adverse to turbulence of
any sort for any purpose that neither
side to labor controversy can afford
to become implacable. Concessions on
both sides always win the day for both.

A POLITICAL REVERSAL

N OLkA 1OIAlA AL Lh0LAA
The nearer we approach the skirmish
line for the presidential contest of 1908
the more striking appears the difference
in the political situation from that pre-
sented at the inception of the contest
of 1904.
The salient feature of the present
situation, in fact, is just the reverse
of that which characterized the outlook
at the approach of the former contest.
That is, in 1904 the Democratic party
was split on questions of policy and
hopelessly divided on the choice OF
candidate. On the Republican side
there was only one possible candidate
and only one idea in regard to the main
plank in the platform.
More than year prior to the ma
tional conventions Of 1904 it was certain
that Theodore Roosevelt would be the
Republican nominee. 1t was practically
as certain also that the essence Of the
platform would be the slogan Continue
Mckinley prosperity-let well enough
alone" On the Democratic side there
was no assurance concerning either
candidate or platform.
In this corresponding period, prior to
the opening of the presidential cam
paign, we see the Democratic party
united as the Republicans were at the
former time, while the Republicans now
are split as the Democrats were before.
Nobody knows who will be the Re-
publican candidate for president next
year; everybody knows who will be
the Democratic candidate. The Repub-
lican platform Of 1908 is as uncertain
as the choice of a nominee, because
leading questions of policy will be
shaped by the same considerations that
rule in the selection of candidate.
1t seems hardly possible that any Re
publican leader can seriously consider
the question of renominating President
Roosevelt. Even political tyro should
be able to see that such course would
surely invite defeat
The involved breaking of the presi-
dents promise, repeatedly and emphati-
cally uttered, would be the shattering
of an idol that the Republican party
worships. The political sacrilege of at
tempting to destroy the sacred two
term precedent would equal in disas-
trous effect the smashing of the indi-
vidual idol
After me the deluge," exclaimed
Louis XIV when he saw the impending
disaster resulting from his profigate
reign. After Roosevelt, whom and
what? Aspirants for Roosevelt's place
are likely to be as plentiful as currants
on q bush and about as sour to the
average Republican taste. Taft, For
aker, Cannon, Root and the rest of the
favorite sons will all have their follow
ing of supporters, but it will make the
average Republican stomach-sick to
think of any of them as misf1t in the
chair adorned by the man now wor-
SHIPPED by the party.
Not so with the Democratic party.

"the Office should seek the man, not |

as it was by the Democrats of long
ago. William Jennings Bryan has been
the logical choice of his party for the

of election day in 1904. He will be the
Democratic candidate on a platform
to all Democrats and he

PASSING OF THE PASSES.


The anti-pass law is IN effect all
over this blessed Union, and 1t is n
good thing for all concerned; II frees
the people from an insidious evil In
the consideration and treatment Of the
great transportation companies, and
leaves the popular hand united in
dealing with corporate encroachment;
1t wipes out the sense Of responsible
ity and gratitude that goes with such
favors, and puts both the company
and beneficiary on better and sounder
footing; it banishes the element OF re-
proach that stung every man in pos
session OF a pass every time he used
it: it is the more healthful and hon
est system, and clears the way for
decent and unhampered intercourse as
between the people and the common
carriers. 1t is as good for the one
as the other, and will prove its eff
ficacy from the very day Of its opera
tion.

THE LEAD. LINE.

In all trades and professions known
to man there are, Invariably. some
original, simple, organic, principal
things that no amount of progress, in

can supersede nor force out Of exist

tical utilities, is the lead-line of the
ship and the sailor. II is among the
very simplest and earliest Of the things
the seaman is taught; his education
would be incomplete without 1t. Like
the very compass itself it is among
the organic elements of his life and

does its work faithfully, quickly and
accurately, and often tells the mar
liner a seasonable and valuable story.

precious values and lives are being
driven to some given market or ha-

neglected in the nearby waters Of the

so patent to all practical people here
