FENDERLESS CARS

A young woman was killed Sunday
night by a fenderless car at Sixteenth
and Figueroa streets.
Only few days ago the city council
had under discussion the question of
fenderless cars on the Interurban sys-
tenn, and its final decision was that the
ordinance as it stands is about right
which amounts to no ordinance.
Patrons of street cars in every city
in this country are convinced that fem
ders will fend, and in that view they
are sustained by the actual facts of ex-
pertinent and experience.
Local systems, running to suburban
cities, are for the most part fenderless,
and the city lawmakers have not in
sisted that the death-dealing cars be
made safe.
But who is responsible for the death
of that young woman Sunday evening?
1t is worth while for the city council
and the owners of fenderless cars to
think about it-and then do something
to prevent other deaths.

A MAYORAL CABINET

In multitude of counsellors there is
safety" The rule implied in that
proverb, like all other rules, is subject
to exceptions.
1t is not yet forgotten that former
Mayor McAleer tried the experiment of
fitting the quoted proverb to the bust
ness of operating the executive end of
the city government. His counsellors,
whom he dignified collectively as a
cabinet" comprised the heads of
municipal departments. The only thing
vividly impressed on the public mind
in connection with the McAleer expert
ment, was that the cabinet" seemed
to be misfit.
But one exception does not destroy a
rule. Mayor Harper has faith in the
value of counsellors, evidently as he is
said to be formulating a plan some
what after the fashion of the McAleer
cabinet The plan differs from the one
tried by the former mayor, however,
in it's broader and more democratic
scope.
Mayor Harper, as reported in The
Herald, sis giving some thought to
plan for holding weekly joint meetings
of all his commissioners and board ap-
pointees to discuss municipal questions
and to get united opinion on pending
issues"
The abstract idea seems to be a good
one The nronosed rneetinps would he
simply advisory in character and would
give opportunity for the suggestion of
ideas that might be of great value. 1t
is certain that if the meetings accom-
plished no good they could cause no
harm, as they would be unofficial.
The intimation that few prospective
cabinet members show disfavor to-
ward the plan tends to strengthen
rather than to weaken public conf
dence in its merits. These opponents
contend, as reported. that the meetings
will do no good, as each board holds
it's own discussions But no board
having at heart only the best interests
of the public service can reasonably
object to receiving informal sugges-
tions.
Mayor Harper has shown a desire,
thus far in his administration, to take
the public into his confidence and to
shape his official acts in consonance
with public opinion. The proposed plan
of inviting suggestions from depart-
ment officials accords with his policy

CAPITAL AND LABOR

The happiest sign of the times is the
converging of the interests of capital
and labor to a common center. 1t may
help, either of which practically de-
fines the current trend.
"Enduri'n de wah" the people of the
north and south passed through years
of suffering, now made holy by sacri-
flee, and each side, through human
weakness, was blind to any good quail
ity in the other. Human tendencies in
both, whipped into action by PARTISAN
ship, made possible much that both
would now blot out and civic results,
now in being, challenge all the bitter
ness of that dark period.
1t is much the same with the war of
capital and labor. Born of what both
sides believe to be the holiest causes,
waged with a gallantry and f1erceness
known only to civilized peoples, the re-
suits now come up for judgment.
Actual conflict has enlightened both
sides, and developed in the rank and
file of both contestants, that both have
a good case in court and where the
demagogue of millions, or he of the
wayside barroom once had power to
sway his compatriots, it is now patent
that the cry and the cause of mutual
help are in the ascendant.
I'VE are coming to our own" is the
cry-and truthfully-of both sides, and
only because the vicissitudes of war,
and not the sophistries of human rea-
soning, have paved the way.
Tolerant might of dollar and toll
Grant might of muscle are no longer
at outs, and the present attitude of
both argues future peace and pros
perity.
The pulpit hoists the banner of the
laboring man, and in the name of JUS
tice and right claims hearing for him.
The great majority of the people who
bring things to pass, and who are
not commonly swayed by pulpit utter
ances, acquiesce, and so the good work
goes on.
We are at the time when mutual
respect for mutual rights will be the
keynote of a new and greater national
prosperity.

WISE SPENDERS

The great body of men and women
known as the National Educational
association is a powerful propaganda
for right living, inasmuch as its mem-
bers eat, drink and dress we'll and
avoid the common pitfalls of great
city, deriving the maximum of pleasure
from temperate ways.
The purveyors of cocktails and
"comebacks" may shoot splenetic say
ings at these good people, and roast"
them for apparent economy. That the
economy is only apparent is proved by
the great increase in local trade in dry
goods, books, clean amusements and
the better grades of hotels and board
ings houses.
These men and women represent all
our national public schools stand for,
and he must be poor in spirit who can
not see good in those who lead abstemi-
Gus and temperate lives on principle
and from choice.
The "zem-zem" of the Shriner, the
'loo-loo'' of the Elk and the "corker'
of the Eagle all have their place in the
enonomy of convention life, and very
large place, too; but it is pleasing and
welcome to the home owning and keep
ing people to find the men and women
who teach the children of the nation
living right and temperate lives.
When tt last visiting teacher shall
have left our limits and a business
balance is struck in the clearing house
we shall find as many dollars as were
left by other conventions, and, what is
more to be valued, a much greater in
terest in and respect for Il. men and
women who frame up the future of our
children.
While the gigantic power of the dol
lar in building up Los Angeles must
be acknowledged, let us not forget the
greater power of it's ally-character-
and, in a final analysis, character in
life is what the National Educational
association stands for.

The Herald no longer is either owned or

The Express desires to commend and
heartily indorse the declaration of prin-
eiples penned by Mr.. T. e. Gibbon, who
will direct the editorial policy of The
Herald, and incorporated by him in his
announcement of ownership. Aside from
the fact that in matters of national poll
tics The Herald will be Democratic, the
Express and the newly rehabilitated Her

principles and the same ideals. Indeed,
in his announcement to the public Mr..
Gibbon has dedicated The Herald to the
pronunciation of those basic and funda-

has been battling.
The Express takes great pleasure in
welcoming The Herald to the ranks of
those who are fighting injustice and tyr

purge our political system of graft and
corruption, and re-establish the doctrine
of law enforcement and equal and exact
justice to all, with special favors to none.

BRIBE GIVERS AND
TAKERS

The people of California unmistak-
ably al rove and commend the prose-
cution of the San Francisco bribe-
takers, boodlers, grafters and bribe-
givers.
If they hT adverse criticism at
all to make it is that more of the bribe-
givers are not on the way to the peni-
t-ntiary. But they hope that these will
develop into stripes as the case pro-
ceeds.
The poor man who yields to tempta-
ton and commits a crime should be
punished, of course, and punished
surely and swiftly; and rough sort of
sympathy may go out to him who,
mayhap, with the Iiew of placing his
wife and children in comfort, slips over
the path of rectitude and honor.
But for the millionaire bribe-giver,
who deliberately commits a crime for
the sake of adding to his millions, and
who, by reason of his power, his wealth
and his influence, is able to impel poor
and weaker men to join with him in
crime-to him should come the surer
and swifter punishment.
8 The Herald believes that the man of
wealth and power in a community has
a proportionately larger responsibility
to the people than the man who has
only his daily wage or his little home
and who seeks only to move in the
limited sphere of usefulness which he
chooses or in which his opportunities
place him. There is and can be no ex-
cuse for the commission of a crime
and particularly a crime against the
people-on the part of one to whom
much has been given and of whom
much will be required.
1t should be remembered that the
prosecution in the San Francisco cases
has steadfastly endeavored to achieve
punishment for crime regardless of the
wealth or character of the alleged
criminal. Indictments have been found
not only against the rich and powerful
Calhoun, but equally against those
labor unionists who are charged with
riotous and unlawful conduct.
Equal and exact justice to all men,
in so far as human fallibility may de-
termine justice, is the demand of the
people, and that demand has become
so urgent in our governmental life as
to constitute it one of the greatest of
public questions.
For this reason unusual attention is
being paid to Mr.. Heney and his work
in San Francisco, and for this reason |
there is almost universal approval Of |
Mr.. Heney's course. Whatever issues |
Of other kinds may arise as the prose-
oution proceeds, they are incidental to |
the main fact that graft and grafters
must be punished, and that Justice
must be meted out to rich and poor
alike, without fear or favor.

HANDS UNION
BIG LEMON
ORANGE EXPERTS DISCUSS
SHIPPING
METHODS OF FRUIT DISTRIBU-
TIoN OUTLINED
Consensus of Opinion Given by Wit
nesses Seems to Favor Holdings
Plan for Distribution
of Cars

When the hearing of the California
Fruit Growers petition was resumed yes
terday m6rning before Special Commits
sioner F. G.. Finlayson of the interstate
commerce commission the Citrus union
was handed a lemon by the first witness
called. Mr.. Frank Palmer of North Po-
mona, superintendent of the Richards
grove and owner of a sixteen acre or
chard.
For the larger grove Mr.. Richards is
an Independent shipper, but when his
own fruit goes to market he clubs with
the fruit growers, which in his locality
is known as the Indian Hill Citrus union.
After declaring unequivocally in favor
of the holdings method of apportionment
in case of car shortage, the witness
went into full details and described the
method of preparing oranges for ship
ment.
Mature fruit is far more liable to de-
terioration than that which is picked in
an unripe state" said Mr.. Palmer, ''and
for that reason we have very little decay
in the early part of the season.
"Of course, oranges that have been
bruised in a wind storm are apt to give
trouble, and warm, wet weather, such as
we nave in FEBRUARY, is very hard on
the fruit"
Gives Interesting Details
He then explained that there are five
grades into which the oranges are sorted
before being packed-extra fancy fancy,
extra choice choice and standard. OF
extra fancy there are very few shipped
in his neighborhood, not many more of
the fancy grade.
When asked by Attorney Britt, for the
intervenor how many cars it would be
necessary to pick to get carload of
fancy or extra fancy fruit, the witness
refused to be led into a trap, and prompt
ly replied that he would not consider
such an order.
In getting the fruit ready for shipment,
the witness explained that in the early
part of the season it was the custom to
pick first the most mature fruit, and that
at the bottom of the trees. He denied
that 80 per cent of citrus fruits have to
be washed, and said that only very poor
orchard management would make it nee
essary.
When first brought into the packing
house the fruit was passed through a
brushing machine, from which it went to
a sorting table and the different grades

Describes Sweating Process


Describes Sweating Process
In the early part of the season, when
the fruit was brittle and more liable 70
damage, it was necessary to sweat II
before packing The exchange engaged
a crew of pickers in the fall and Kept
them at work throughout the whole sea-
son. The fruit was picked in what were
known as monthly pools, and the picking
crews visited the different groves In ro-
tation.
The growers individually paid no atten-
ton to the state of the market nor TO
the system of obtaining cars either IN
time of shortage or at any other time
they having signed up with the exchange
to sell their crops, and were liable TO
forfeit if they sold to any one else.
AS every small boy has long known,
the choicest fruit is found at the tops of
the trees, and in picking for ThanksglV-
ing or Christmas trade, the trees were
never picked clean, only the best appear
ing fruit being taken.
In shipping his own crop from the six
teen acre orchard that he owns eXclu-
sive of the Richards place, Mr.. Palmer
said he did not ship independently, but
through the exchange. He had always
been fairly treated, and received good
prices for his fruit.
Describes Both systems

exchange, which is a subordinate organi-

experience with both methods of distrib-

clared the holdings system to be the only

pect cars. If they had to depend on the
system enforced by the Southern Pacihc,

and ready for shipment, only the larger
concerns were sure of getting cars.
