CUTTING OF RED TAPE

1t was a frank admission that a
mouthpiece of the subway obstruc-
tionists made before the city council.
He said, I'VE expected to bring about
such conditions that the city would be
compelled to build and operate elec-
trio railways; it vas our plan to Sc
cure municipal ownership"
That same element of obstruction,
with the same object in view, succeeded
in holding up city railway expansion
by interposing the twenty-one year
franchise limitation. For two years
electric railway building in the city has
been practically at standstill because
of the ulterior influence favoring the
municipal ownership idea.
But the present city council has the
interests of the community at heart
rather than the interests of theorists
yearning to experiment, to their own
profit. with certain theories. The coun-
Gil takes the same business view that
railroading is not a proper function
for a municipality so long as it is
by the normal method.
It was a wise decision to give the
subway system the requisite authority
for start without further delay,
even at the risk Of cutting a bolt Of
red tape. AS truly remarked by a
block such an improvement by stand
ing forth on some technicality; the
people have a right to demand that
we give to the railway company an
opportunity to build this tunnel, as
it means rapid transit to the north
west; it means that broad acres now
vacant will be transformed into city
blocks filled with beautiful homes,
and it means the development Of re-
sources that have lain dormant, watt
ing for rapid transit facilities"
And what is true in that respect
concerning the subway project is true
in regard to other sections of the city's s
suburbs. Not only in the western dis
trict but in the eastern, northern and
southern districts as we'll, there are
beautiful sites for thousands of pretty
homes. Convenient access from the
heart of the city, by such means as
the electric railway companies are
ready to supply on favorable fran
chise conditions, are alone necessary to
dot these districts with home i'm
provements.
Every citizen of Los Angeles knows
that the electric railways have been
the chief instruments in building up
the outer sections of the city, and
further expansion in the suburbs is
dependent chiefly upon the same in
fluence.
Ideal railway conditions, together
with an abundance of water from the
snow-topped Sierras, are alone neces-
sary to push Los Angeles rapidly to-
ward the goal of city in million
population class.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-10
IN A NUTSHELL

The water question has been SO
thoroughly threshed, screened and
sifted that there is nothing left of II
but this:
Shall Los Angeles continue its Won
derful growth or shall it be stunted
and henceforth be known as an urban
dwarf?
That is the essential issue, in
nutshell, that the voters will decide
Wednesday.
No further elucidation of the question
is necessary nor is it possible. Every
citizen understands 1t. There is moth
ing more to learn. 1t is as familiar as
the alphabet.
without abundant water, as we all
know, there can be no Greater Los An
geles. We might as well expect to
gather grapes of thorns or figs OF
thistles" as to expect Los Angeles to
grow to it's full metropolitan stature
without the primary requisite-water in
abundance.
The bare possibility Of blight upon
the city resulting from failure OF the
great water project is having tangib!e
effect already. Many building projects
are held in allegiance awaiting the water
signal to go ahead.
Capitalists are silent spectators pend
ing assurance of future progress 10
justify them in making investments.
Mechanics and other laboring men
out of employment are planning to go
elsewhere in the possible contingency
of failure to "cinch" the water output
of the Sierras.
And in view of this emergent situa-
ton can any sane Angeleno, who is not
Influenced by selfish personal interests,
fail to cast his vote for the water bond
proposition?

fluences because the home magnet is
weak-less powerful at least than mag
nets which attract in the opposite di-
rection. When the young wife takes
the first step in conflict with the
thoughtful advice OF the eminent cardi-
nal she starts upon pathway that
leads to domestic misery and perhaps
finally to the divorce court.
The home club, constituted of the
family circle, but to which intimate
friends have the entry, is the institution
that must be relied upon, as the cardi-
nal says, "to save this country from ir-
reparable injury" 1t affords the CHIEF
dependence for purity and fidelity on
the part of adult members of the family
and for the moral rectitude and correct
general training Of childhood.
One of the most lamentable features
of American life in the present era is
the obvious weakening of home influ-
ence among a large percentage of the
people, particularly those of the class
who can afford to indulge the limit of
luxury and so-called pleasure. How
true, therefore, is the conclusion Of
Cardinal Gibbons address to his audi
ence of young women, II say that this
countrys future lies in your hands and
the hands Of those like you."

wade. The fact that he is still shout

makes it evident that water wasn't

Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-10
THE HOME CIRCLE CLUB

Some thoughts that should be cher
ished in every American home were ex-
pressed last Wednesday at Washington
by Cardinal Gibbons in an address to
the young woman graduates of an
academy.
In allusion to the mission of the
young women to become wives and
save this country from irreparable in
jury by sanctifying and making pure
the home" Then, taking the broad
view that without home circle pure
and sacred no nation can become
great" he continued: Make the home
an asylum of comfort and peace, where
your brothers and fathers and hus-
bands can spend their evenings in COM
fort"
In the last quoted sentence, particu-
larly, the cardinal strikes the keynote
of domestic happiness. To make the
home eminently attractive is to fortify
it against baneful enticements with
out. If the cardinals precept were gen.
orally adopted three-fourths of the
clubs that allure both sexes would soon
be without members.
Such institutions flourish, in more
than three-fourths of cases, solely be-
cause of failure to follow the cardinals
warning. The clubs are more enticing
than the home circle for the reason that
home is not place, in too large per-
centage of instances, "where your
brothers and fathers and hubsands can
spend their evenings in comfort"
Husbands become addicted to club
life and to other non-domestic in-
