KEEP THE EXPOSITION

Nearly dozen years ago, when the
population of Los Angeles was less
than one-third of the present figure,
an exposition similar to the one now in
evidence was maintained perma-
nently. 1t was an exhibit by mem
bers of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association. 1t occupied large
double number store room on Main
street, between First and Second, and
1t was one of the city's two greatest
show places, the other being the cham
Der of commerce.
The number of manufacturing con-
Germs in Los Angeles has increased in
even greater ratio than the popula-
tion, probably, since that period of a
dozen years ago. Anyway, it is a
matter of fact that the present num-
ber of manufactures in the city, of
all kinds, exceeds 1900, employing
more than $4,000 workers and having
a product value exceeding $50, ,OOo 600
annually.
In view of these facts one can read
lily see the propriety of The Herald's
suggestion that the success of the pres
ent exposition "should be sufficient
argument to justify the manufacture
ers and merchants of Los Angeles in
establishing the exhibit as a perma-
nent institution"
The practical utility of a permanent
exhibit of this kind is obvious on a
moments reflection. 1t affords an an
swer "more eloquent than words" tc
the standard query of strangers con-
cerning the possibilities of Los Angeles
as great manufacturing center. A
half hour spent in the temporary ex.
position now attracting crowds affords
the most convincing affirmative argu'
ment on that point.
The average visitor in Los Angeles
does not realize either the varieyt Oh
the volume of local manufacturing in
dustries. He hears the shrieks O
steam whistles and sees the belchini
smoke from tall chimneys, but he get
no adequate conception of what is i'm
piled thereby. A permanent exhibit o
the kind in question would mutel.
answer his inquiries and dispel hi
doubts.
BY all means continue, as a perma
nent institution, the splendid and strik
ing exhibit of products made in Lo
Angeles.

A GOOD BEGINNING

The board of public works has DEM
onstrated the possibility of making the
streets of Los Angeles compare favor
ably with the streets of the tidiest
American cities. No citizen will feel
ashamed to show his friend from
abroad the streets that have been es-
pecially, prepared for Fiesta de las
Flores.
But the pleasure incident to viewing
the few streets thus treated is de-
stroyed quickly by turning from them
to the scores of streets that remind the
citizen of pueblo days and that astonish
the stranger who halls from a pro-
gressive eastern city.
The street work done with special
reference to the festal occasion should
henceforth be made the standard of
excellence to be attained elsewhere
throughout the city. 1t was great
mistake not to begin that work earlier
and to extend 1t much farther as a
preparatory measure, as the visitors
will not confine their observations to
particular streets. That opportunity is
passed, however, and it is the future
with which we have to deal.
With the passing of the Fiesta the
most obvious need of the city, in re-
spect to its general appearance, will be
comprehensive movement to make all
streets as pleasing to the eye as those
which have been treated especially for
the present occasion.
The most disagreeable period of the
year in Los Angeles, in one respect, Is
here and now. That is the period of
maximum dust, agitated by the almost
incessant breezes that are experienced
in the spring months. With the ending
of the rainy season the unpaved or
otherwise neglected streets are pulver-
lied on the surface with results which
all citizens too well understand.
Next to the mud through which the
Angeleno wades in the winter season
there is nothing so trying to his pa
tience, of like character, as the clouds
Of dust which the breeze hurls at him.
Such volumes Of dust as sweep up from
neglected streets are not only exasper-
ating to the individual sufferer. but
they do incalculable damage to mer-
camille wares and household effects.
There is no reason why the streets
Of Los Angeles should not be as tidy
as the streets of any other city in the
world. "where there's will there's
way"

LET US HAVE PEACE"

There is no question about the po'
tency of what is called the sympathetic
strike. 1t is a comparatively new
weapon in the evolution Of industrial
warfare, but its effectiveness has beer
demonstrated. Compared with the
striking power of single labor union
the sympathetic strike is as a Gatiina
gun to an old-fashioned musket.
But just in proportion as the sympa-
thetic strike is more effective than the
single effort of union, its injurious
effect to the projectors is expanded
The dangerous recoil is in proportion &c
the increased power at the muzzle. And
that recoil is felt most acutely by the
class who can least afford to bear the
blow.
In all the strike controversies pending
in San Francisco and Los Angeles, In
volving possibilities resulting from SYM
pathetic strikes, the most important
consideration, on the part of the unions,
seems to be lost sight Of.
That is the fact that success in par
alysing local industries must neces-
sarily react most disastrously upon the
striker. This because the suspension OF
any great industry means only the loss
of accumulated profits to the owner
while 1t involves loss OF the means OF
buying bread for the family of the
worker
The more general the sympathetic
strike, therefore, the more general must
necessarily be the distress resulting
from the stoppage of wages. And there
is not even the poor consolation of feel
ing that the employing interests are
made to suffer equally. Employers can
much better afford to suspend business
for time than workers can afford to
face destitution at home.
The sympathetic strike, like the boy
colt, is not only an unfair weapon of
industrial warfare, but 1t recalls the
saying Of American soldiers in the war
with Mexico that the Mexican musket
was more dangerous at the breach
than at the muzzle." 1t is worse than
unfair in the feature of drawing classes
of workers into trouble and privation
who have no interest in the quarrel at
issue. There is no more striking ex-
ample than that of the folly of putting
in without just cause or provocation."
A widespread strike in Los Angeles,
particularly at this time, would be a
public calamity 1t would not only stop
the wheels of prosperity but would turn
them backward. The city would receive
backset injuriously affecting every In
dividual in the community and affecting
most grievously of all the families of
the wage workers who might allow
themselves to be led to disaster by false
considerations of sympathy.
AL classes of Los Angeles citizens
employers and workers in every line Of
the city's activities, should realize the
| calamitous effect that would inevitably
result from such a rupture as now is
| threatened. For the sake of the city's
reputation for Industrial harmony and
for the sake of the pull together" habit
which has made Los Angeles famous
abroad, 'let us have peace"

BEATS THE CITY
ON FLORAL SHOW
BOSTON STORE HAS GRACEFUL
DISPLAY
Over Thirty Thousand Carnations
Used In the Magnificent Decora-
tions of the Broadway
Establishment

OF the hundreds of decorations on the
principal streets of Los Angeles few
in artistic merit and genuine beauty
compare with that of the Boston store.
which .dopted The Herald's idea of
using flowers instead of Fiesta bunt-
ing. Twenty thousand red and white
carnations have been combined in one
of the most striking decorations OF
Broadway's long stretch of light and
color.
The J. w. Robinson concern has used
red and white carnations and aspara-
gus plumosus exclusively, and the eff
feet is strikingly beautiful.
Bordering the big show windows is
a solid frame of the fragrant blooms
a foot deep. Blocks of red and white,
each a foot square, alternate, and
around the inner border a light fringe
of the graceful asparagus plumosus
adds a touch of foliage to the beauty
of the flowers.
The main entrance is even more
beautiful. The great round columns
are mass of bloom. Wide spirals OF
alternate red and white carnations
twine around them, and the asparagus
also intermingles. Between the two
pillars on a large background of the
red flowers stands out in letters OF
white the word welcome"
Thousands Are Delighted
The Boston Store had the honor of
being the first to take hold of this
big scheme for advertising the city
With its natural resources. The Mon
day morning after The Herald ad-
vanced the lscheme j. M. Walters, the
head of the decorating department,
went to his managers and advised that
| the firm embrace the scheme presented.
| He was told to make specifications
| and plans for decorations, and the same
day placed an order with leading
florist for 10000 red and white carna--
| tions, This was afterWard increased
by 10000. SO before the week is ended
| at least 10000 of the spicy beauties will
have been used in this striking and
novel decoration.
At the Boston Store last night thou
sands appreciated the stupendous
scheme so successfully carried out. Il
was a sight to delight the heart o.
the Angeieno to see dignified Shriner!
and their ladies lay their faces agains
the fragrant masses and inhale grea
draughts Of the sweet odors. Every
where exclamations of surprise anC
delight were heard.
The decorations of The Herald
while scarcely carried out on so ella
borate a plan, are also out or the or
binary in beauty and novelty.
The scheme of the Herald's big flora
decoration is In red geraniums ans
ivy. Across the center of the big win
dow is drawn a screen, bearing tn
word Herald on a green background
On either side long columns of re'
geraniums, faxed with green, joint tn
crosspiece and form large III.
Above is Shriner's emblem, tn
scimitar and screscent, with sta
pendant. This is also in red an,
green. Great masses of wild mustar'
fill the window and border the side
of the building. Within, at almost ev
cry conceivable place, great bouquet
of flowers are used to striking ad
vantage.
