KEEP THE STATE NORMAL

Citizens OF Los Angeles must not
overlook the fact that II they desire to
retain the state normal school in this
city they will have to hustle.
It seems odd that this rhould be so,
but conditions have come about
whereby we are confronted with the
necessity Of making fight for that
which should be ours without question.
Secretary Millspaugh Of the board Of
trustees announces that at a meeting
of the board to be held next Thursday,
March 21, expressions Of local senti-
ment as we'll as offers of sites VIII be
received and considered.
It would be proper for the chamber
Of commerce, the Municipal league, the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation and othor civic bodies to send
representatives to this meeting of the
trustees in order that the interest Of
Los Angeles In the state normal may
be demonstrated.
In the meantime available sites in
side the city limits should be called
to the boards attention. Secretary
Millspaugh thinks It possible a site
might be determined upon in one Of
the suburban towns or adjacent cities,
but this should not be permitted IL it
can be prevented by the offer of site
in Los Angeles that would be attrac-
tive and at a reasonable price.
The situation demands some public
attention. Quit making money for a
few hours. some of you busy bankers
and prominent citizens, and attend to
this matter, which is the concern of

EXTEND CITY LIGHTS

Los Angeles needs an extension OF
it's handsome downtown lighting sys-
tenn, to cover the cross streets between
First and Seventh at least-possibly
farther Already a movement to light
Fourth street from Main to Hill is
under way; it should be broadened to
take in First, Second, Third, Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh streets.
The downtown lighting system Of
Los Angeles is admittedly the most
beautiful in the world. Nothing like
it is known anywhere. Its charm con-
sists as much in its inherent soft
ness and unobtrusive qualities as in
it's brilliancy. Some cities line their
streets with arc lights and make them
hideous. Los Angeles has wisely ad-
hered to the incandescent, or orna-
mental fixtures, and its streets are Won
derfully fine.
Other cities are now coming into line,
too, with the Los Angeles idea. Dem
yer went in for arcs, but has shifted,
and will put up incandescents on one
of it's streets, with the idea of using
them, on the Los Angeles plan. here
after. st. Paul and Minneapolis have
inaugurated a system, to be started at
once, on similar lines to ours. And still
other cities have the plan in view.
Los Angeles, as the pioneer Of good
street lighting, should therefore have
care lest it fall behind ambitious rivals.
The system here is perfect so far as
| it goes. But 1t does not cover the
business part of the town; it looks in
complete and half finished. 1t is not
pleasing to turn from Hill, Broadway
Main or Spring street into any one oi
the numbered cross streets, and find
ones self in a canyon of darkness, save
where some shop throws a fitful CLEAN
across the way. These side streets are
as important to the illumination
scheme as is main thoroughfare, and
lights should be placed on them.
The extension of lights to the side
streets would be neither costly nor a
great task. The corners now have
lamps, and the blocks are short. Two
or three pairs of standards would suf-
fee. Why not follow Fourth streets
lead and make all the downtown sec
ton as fine as part Of it now is?
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-18
THE MAYOR is RIGHT

Mayor Harper evidently has faith in
the good old adage, when there's a
will there's a way" In regard to the
paramount street issue in Los Angeles
the mayor says, in a manner indicat-
ing determination, I'VE must have bet
ter streets; 1 know there must be
way to get them-just now am look
ing for that way"
OF course there is a way and it would
have been found long before the in
coming Of the present municipal ad-
ministration but for official myopia. It
is nonsense to assume that Los Angeles
cannot accomplish as much in the way
OF modern streets as every self-respect-
Ing city in the United States of even
one-fifth the population Of Los Ange-
les has succeeded in accomplishing.
And There is no large city in the
United States that would not be more
excusable than Los Angeles for neglect
ed streets. This because of the peculiar
climatic conditions which favor this
city, In respect to street improvements,
as no other city is favored. There is
an average of seven or eight months Of
the year when street work may be-
prosecuted without any such natural
interruptions as other American cities
experience.
What is especially needed in Los An
geles is local application of Horace
Greeley's famous apothegm concerning
the post-bellum resumption of specie
payments-"The way to resume specie
payments is to resume" Statesmen,
financiers and political economists were
agitating their brains with efforts to
find practical and safe method of re-
sumption. Greeleys saying struck
such a popular chord that it was tried
without further palaver and it worked
like charm.
The way to make good streets in Los
Angeles is to make them. To para
phrase the familiar lingo cry, We've
got the men, we've got the tools and
we've got the money, too"
The mayor is on the right track. The
way is plain if the will points to 1t. If
any Gordian knots entangle the propo
sition, cut em.

HUMANITY

1t has passed into proverb that cor
porations have no souls. Fortunately,
the men who manage corporations
often have hearts. The news item
which tells how the st. Paul railroad
ran a special train 100 miles to carry
to a surgeon a brakeman who had his
foot cut off is at least suggestive. We
do not imagine that the superintendent
who ordered this action will be a can
didate for a life-saver's medal, and
we have no idea that the president of
the road who will approve the course
taken will expect a vote of thanks
from the union to which the brakeman
belonged. They will no more seek to
star their generosity than do the mine
owning corporation managers when
scores of men are buried by a dis
pensation of Providence, and it takes
thousands Of dollars to dig the vic
tins out
'Every generalization is false" said
witty Frenchman, adding, after a
pause, "even this one" Corporations
have no souls. A manager of corpora
ton property is a trustee who can only
be generous with other peoples money
Therefore, the inhumanity Of corpora
tions must exceed that of Nero, who
had moments of pity; and of Caligula,
who sometimes relieved distress. Rea-
son that way, as far as you like, and
your generalization is false. Stock
holders are men. Directors are men.
Managers and superintendents and
foremen are men. They have indig-
nation to be- stirred scorn to be
aroused. tears to be she'd And when
the emergency comes, and the lives OF
the humblest employees are in peril, the
news files OF American newspapers will
show that corporations are very rarely
derelict in the matter of humane COM
passion, even when humane compass
sion involves serious expenditure of
dollars and cents.-BroOklyn Ragle.

MARRYING IN COLLEGE

Sometimes schoolboys living at home
wed their girlish playmates. and it may
be hard to view their matrimonial VEN
ture in much more serious light than
the mating of dickybirds in a cage.
The marriages of college boys, who in
terrupt their courses of study by an
impulsive and irresponsible match, are
more irritating and usually less for
tunate in the outcome. That is be-
cause the college boy calls himself a
college man" and has been spending
what he is under the delusion is his
own income, instead of a terminable
subsidy from his parent, granted on the
implied condition that it is to make him
a business asset later, rather than con-
tractor of present liability in the
shape of girl wife.
1t is to be inferred that the college
boy who marries in his freshman or
sophomore year is not of a studious
cast, for he never chooses a studious
spouse. Some parents fear to send their
sons to co-educational school, lest
they marry foolishly ere they graduate.
Yet marriages In such schools are all
but unknown. 1t is difficult to find a
young man and young woman student
both OF whom are needless of their re-
sponsibilities to their own educational
need. 1t is the college boy in the insti-
tutlons Tor men" who marries. He
marries a butterfiy-a pretty shop girl,
his landladys daughter, a chorus girl
from travelling troupe. With a wife
as hghtheaded as himself, an incom-
plete education. family alienated, and
means OF support suddenly cut off be-
fore habits of industry have been
formed, the college boy begins married
lie under a handicap which, as the
news Of every week shows. is likely to
be too heavy for him-New York Mail.

PRESS AND MULTIMILLIoNAIRES

One of the thousands of good things
accomplished by the newspapers, in a
general way, is brought to public notice
by the colossal benefactions announced
by Mrs. Sage and John D. Rockefeller.
There is no question on which the
newspapers are more fully in accord
than in the just treatment of conspic-
uously wealthy people. Mere million
aires are too common in these days
to call for special notice, but men and
women who write the sum of their
possessions with eight figures-a few
use ten-are persons of immense pub
lie Importance, and are so treated by
the press.
There is scarcely a doubt, for ex-
ample, that Mr.. Rockefeller was led to
his recent stupendous gift to the cause
Of education, at least in great measure,
by the universal press bombardment
to which he has been subjected. To
that source also may be attributed,
partly, his intimated purpose to give
another and possibly greater surprise
to the world at no distant day.
The caustic cuts that Russell Sage
endured from the newspapers, because
Of his extraordinary parsimony, no
doubt stung the tender sensibilities of
his estinnable wife. 1t is highly prob
able that a purpose to counteract that
past criticism, so far as possible, has
actuated her In the splendid act of
| philanthropy now announced. Close
friends of Mrs, Sage believe that she
intends to devote almost the entire for
tune left by her husband, conserva-
lively valued at S75OOO,OOO, to philan-
thropic purposes,
Many examples Of like kind, involv-
ing benefaetions Of less magnitude,
might be cited, all Of which could be
traced. at least partly. to press infiu-
ence. And that influence, be it renern-
bered, is effective in the way of per-
suaston as we'll as in that OF sting
| ing criticism. Men OF great wealth
often are induced to make large con-
tributions to laudable purposes as a
result of appeals by the newspapers.
In all treatment Of notably rich mer
the press, almost invariably. is fair ant
Just. The parsimonious man OF that
class is apt to be salted unmercifull,
on the raw until he relaxes the griI
on his gold. The generous and public
spirited man, on the contrary, receives
the fun need OF newspaper praise fol
