Despite the stringency so generally
prevailing over the country and the
difficulty experienced in Americus, as
elsewhere, in moving the cotton crop
as rapidly as desired, the banks OF
this city feel amply able to cope with
the situation, and are putting forth
all efforts to that end. The situation
has been fully discussed, and the
opinion prevails among them that with
the influx of millions of gold to this

MASONS WILL ERECT A
new HOME FOR LODGE
Splendid New Building Is
Proposed.

Americus Masons who attended the
Grand Lodge session this week state
that authority to purchase suitable
site for a new Masonic temple in or
near Macon was granted by the grand
lodge to the special committee that
was named a year ago to look into
the advisability of the building of a
new temple or the remodeling of the
old one.
This means that within a few years
the grand lodge will have new quar-
ters in or near Macon.
Although the members of the grand
lodge will not say where the site is
it is generally understood that a GER
tain place near the city has been pick
ed out and an offer to buy will be
made shortly.
The Masons wish their new temple
constructed along the lines of the
most modern architecture and it may

plans are subject to change an(
nothing more will be done during

the session with other past masters
of Americus, was the oldest Masor
of the 1900 in attendance. He has
been Mason for sixty-six years ant

WORTH FIGHTING FOR

A transpaciflc steamship line will be
in service within the next three or four
months between the port of San Pedro
and Oriental ports. For the first time
specific assurance is given to that effect
from all official source. Los Angeles
soon will be practically in touch with
points in Japan. China and perhaps the
Philippines
Preparations already are completed for
one line to operate across the Pacific, as
indicated, and there are intimations that
second line is contemplated at a later
period. The Salt Lake Railway COM
pany has effected arrangements with
the early service, and there is talk of a
japanese line on the same route, for
which steamships will be specially con-
struCted.
This response to the rapidly increas-
ing need of commercial connection be-
tween our seaboard and the Orient
emphasizes the importance of sur
mounting all obstacles in the way of
complete harbor facilities for Los An
geles. Mayor Harper, in supporting
The Herald's position on this question,
expresses the sentiment of this COM
munity. He says: Let us not give up
the annexation movement; we may win
yet The cause is a good one, and if
there is a way-and 1 suppose there is
we should find it and go ahead, regard
less of opposition, which is plainly in
the minority"
Senator Savage and the corporate in
terests he serves are chuckling, no
doubt, over the announcement that Los
Angeles has promptly thrown up it's
hands at their command. And no doubt
they are amazed at the easy victory,
for it is the first example on record
of a Los Angeles surrender before
fight to a finish, in the last ditch.
Let us "up and at EN-" One backset
does not necessarily mean defeat, any
more than one sparrow makes a sum-
mer. Los Angeles should know no such

COUNTY MAP CHANGING

Los Angeles county stands to lose q
part Of its territory on the eastern side
with a possibility OF gaining a slice or
the southern side. As a consequence
there is lively buzzlng Of affected in.
terests in both sections.
The project for making a new county
out of territory taken from Los Ange.
les and San Bernardino counties seems
to be progressing. but not Just rs the
promoters wish A considerable sec.
tion Of the part desired from Los An.
geles appears to be willing to follow the
lead Of Pomona in establishing the
new county Of san Antonio. But the
new county will get but little Of i'm
portanco from san Bernardino. as the
choice districts desired. Upland and
ontario, are determined in their opposi.
tion.
The other project referred to- for which
a bill is pending in the legislature, pro-
vides for cutting q slice OF coast ter
ritory from Orange county and annex
ing It to Los Angeles county. A siren
uous fight is in progress over this meas
ure. and strong influences are at work
on both sides.
Tho desire for the change in ques-
tion comes chiefly from the large prop
erty owners who have made costly inn
provcments on the beach line along the
border of Los Angeles county. Some of
- 1. l..
the whole range near this city is located
I'm Orange county. The development
already made or contemplated there is
mostly financed in this city. and the
district is really an extension of the
Los Angeles line of seaside develop
ment, reaching from Santa Monica
along the southern coast line.
The Los Angelts interests involved
in the effort to take the slice from
Orange county believe that the change
would be highly beneficial to the de-
velopment of the section, and the pop
ulation within that district is of the
same mind. All the rest of Orange
county, however, seems to be at fever
ment.
The provisions of the bill for Great
ing San Antonio county may be taken
as a guide to the situation in Orange
county. Fifty per cent of voters in
the part to be taken must sign an
original petition for separation. and in
order to be finally effective 65 per cent
of the voters III said part must vote in
favor of separation.

frequent reminders that the boasted

that the savagery of nations is ant

the Southern California portion of it,

NEEDLESS NOISE

Needless noise is the alliterative nui-
sance to which the attention of n new
society for the prevention, etc, is to be
directed in New York city. Not all
noise Is needless; much of the medley
of sound which accompanies the mod
ern activities of urban life, though try
ing to the nerves. is unavoidable in the
present stage of mechanical develop
ment. In its recognition of this fact Is
seen the best guarantee that the new
movement will be conducted along lines
Of sanity and reasonably level-headed
endeavor. Had 1t been the proposition
of thorough going cranks 1t would have
styled itself the society for the suppress
sion of noise, instead of limiting its
attack to unnecessary noise.
And there is ample room for the
work of such an organization, directing
the attention of the needless public to
the injury to health. as well as the an
noyance in the continuous procession
of noises which pour themselves into
the ear of the luckless city dweller.
Noise is one of the vexations of an in
Ventive civilization to which least at
tention has been paid in this country,
in marked contrast to some European
cities where noisemaking is as carefully
regulated as any other feature of mu-
nicipal life 1t is within comparatively
few years that any attempt was made
by American cities to limit the amount
of whistling done by engines on the
railroads passing through them. Still
more recently the idea that the noise
made by an elevated road passing
through city streets was a cause for
the collection of damages by abutters,
the value of whose property was there
by decreased. met with ridicule before
it was finally accepted as an action
able matter. Until lately, it may be
said, the average American was dis
posed to regard noise, however insistent
and disagreeable, so long as it was fair
ly regular and seemed to fit itself into
some system, as part of the inevitable
dispensation of the modern CITY,

LESSON OF THURSDAYS
ELECTION

The question whether Los Angeles
should add to its territory about half
as much as the entire present area was
decided by a vote raI resenting less Than
10 per cent of the citys voters.
There is enough food for thought" in
that statement to supply a whole meal.
Consider for a moment the possibilities
of sysem whereby the most vital in
terests of the community may be
jeopardized.
| Take for an example the annexation
proposition which was defeated on
Thursday. But for the extraordinary
efforts made against it almost on the
edge of the election the proposition
probably would have carried. That
would have been likely because of the
impossibiity of mastering more than
a small fraction of the city's vote ex-
cept in a general election.
Only bare 943S votes We're polled in
Thursdays election, Notwithstanding
the most strenuous efforts of the city
authorities, the business organizations
to the Importance of voting against an
nexation. This, too, after the officials
of the water department had shown
cOnclusively that the addition of so
large an area to the city's territory
would imperil the water supply prior TO
the completion of the owens river aque-
duct.
Suppose, for instance, that the ques-
ton at issue on Thursday had been
backed by the same influences that are
opposing the consolidation of San Pedro
with Los Angeles. Those influences
could easily have controlled enough
votes to carry the election. The major
ity against annexation in the city vote
was only III. AS the railway and allied
corporate interests have proved strong
enough to defeat the Los Angeles-San
Pedro proposition we can readily see
what the outcome would have been had
the annexationists been backed by them
on Thursday
The fact that Los Angeles is at the
mercy of any combination strong
enough to control a meager percentage
of the vote, in such a matter as the one
i'm question, carries with it an admoni-
tiOn to strengthen the safeguards
against future danger. The recent ex-
perience affords a warning that cannot
be needed and acted upon too soon.
All such danger as is here pointed out
might be obyiated by making a certain
percentage Of the city's vote condition
precedent to the validating of a special
election. Make the requirement one
half one-third or one~fourth of the
total vote polled in the last preceding
general clcction-anything within rea-
son to block schemes whereby 10 per
cent or less of the vote might determine
a question Of the greatest moment.
1t is not strange that the average
voter objects to being lined up at the
polls every few weeks as he is called 70
do by the special election nuisance in
Los Angeles In the matter of elections,
as in other affairs of life, it is possible

Mayor Harper is certainly right in
demanding that politics and the pom
ticians be driven out of the health de.
partment. That is one feature of the
municipal government which should be
particularly free from partisan inter-
ference, as it concerns the health and
life of the people.
