ONE WEEK FOR WORK

One week from tomorrow Los An
geles will decide, definitely and finally,
to be greater" in the fullest sense of
the word. By public declaration at the
polls the city will brush away the only
obstacle to it's early entry into the
million population class of American
cities.
In the remaining week prior to the
election on the water bond proposition
the salient requisite is preparation for
a vote that will fully represent public
opinion on the question at issue. No
further effort need be made in re-
futing the calumnies of interested op-
ponents of the project.
All the puerile attempts to disparage
the Importance of the movement have
fallen fiat. 1t is said that two of
the power companies have abandoned
the attempt to diminish the majority
for the bonds. Even the newspaper
weakling that has been striving hard to
earn it's daily meal ticket by shouting
against the water enterprise has sub
sided to a feeble yawp.
The city rests it's case and is ready
to submit it, without further argu-
ment, to the jury of the people. Every
Los Angeles voter understands the
merits of the case clearly. Never was
a simpler proposition submitted for
judgment. The basic issue, as all
voters know is whether Los Angeles
shall cease to grow like a neglected
plant, for lack of adequate water. or
whether it shall continue to thrive and
expand to great metropolitan propor-
tions by virtue of water to burn
The vote on Wednesday of next week
can be made substantially unanimous.
The active opposition is inconseeuen-
tial, but Affirmative votes may be lost
J." reason of the certainty of the re-
suit. 1t is important, therefore, to
stir every apathetic voter\by assurance
that the larger the vote the stronger
will be the backing of the bonds in
the eastern money market
In view of this phase of the situa-
tion it becomes matter Of ciYic duty,
on the part of every voter, not only to
cast his own vote for the bond propo-
sition, but also to use his best efforts
in getting friends to the polls.
The total vote should equal the one
cast in the last general election. 1t
involves an issue more important to
Los Angeles directly than any pre-
sented before in the history of the
city. This is the pre-eminent time for
the people to pull together" and they
should do it with zest worthy of the
cause.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-04
A MILLION A MONTH

1t must seem strange to persons in
other cities to read Los Angeles COM
ments upon the local lull' in build
ing improvements. An average of two
dozen permits for every working day
representing total value Of more than
$1,O00,0O0 per month, looks to the
stranger like anything but evidence of
a lull.
No other city in the Los Angeles
class of population can make nearly
so good q showing.
And there is no lull at all except by
comparison with the last two years.
There is a relative lull, as compared
with those years, because of circum-
stances that have no relation whatever
to the normal increase of demand for
additional dwelling and business struc-
lures.
San Francisco's disaster by earth
quake and fire was the sole cause of
the abatement in Los Angeles build
ing activity. That calamity had a
two-fold effect in checking building
expansion, to some extent, in this city.
One effect was the grasping of the
lumber dealers opportunity to mark
up prices beyond reasonable figures
and the Ter was the quake nervous
n SIS of tenderfoot investors who failed
to appreciate the fact that Los Angeles
is 500 miles from the geological fault"
underlying the neighborh' of San
Francisco.
But the lumber rocket that scared
skyward has returned as a blackened
stick and the quake fright of the ten
derfeet has had time to subside Nor
NAL conditions have returned in respect
to the building trade and normal re-
suits will follow naturally.
If any other city in the United
States could make such a relative
showing as the Los Angeles building
figures present for the May "lull," it
would go wild with jubilation over
what would be rated as a wonderful
building boom.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-04
A LIKELY CONVERT

president Roosevelt is neither
wholly Democrat nor wholly a Re-
publican" So says the most capable
political diagnostician in the United
States-William ]. Bryan.
1t will strike the average citizen that
the Judgment OF the eminent Demo-
cratic leader is sound. 1t is known to
all persons who keep track of political
events that the president was an all
wool, yard wide Republican prior to
his occupancy of the executive chair.
That he has changed nightly in that
respect during his presidential incum-
bency is a matter of current political
history.
Mr.. Bryan sizes up correctly the
present stage of Mr.. Roosevelts politi-
cal evolution. The president is at the
halfway point in his transition from
Republican to a Democrat. He Is now'
metaphorically, in the tadpole stage,
as an ichthologist might say, which is
the midway period between fish and
frog. Or, to give the illustration a
more dignifed tilt, he is "under con-
viction." to borrow a religious phrase.
That is to say, he gives promise of be-
coming an avowed Democratic convert
ere many political moons.
Mr.. Bryan is especially qualified to
judge of the presidents progressive De-
mocracy, as the two bear the relative
positions of tutor and lupil. Just what
the former has been teaching dozen
years the latter has been learning
gradually since his elevation to the
presidency. And now the president
shows the effect of his learning in hav-
ing reached the point where, as aptly
expressed by Mr.. Bryan, he is neither
wholly a Democrat nor wholly Re-
publican"
But when the process of evolution to-
ward Democracy attains such headway
as Mr.. Bryan notes in the case of the
president, it must inevitably go on to
the logical conclusion. The tadpole
that is about to shed its tail and sprout
legs cannot go backtrack, in crab
fashion. So is the trend of a half
converted Democrat who is approach
ing the true fold.
And there would be luminous pre-
cedent for Mr.. Roosevelt's transit from
the party that elected him. John Tyler,
who attained the presidency by ascent
from the vice presidential station, de-
serted his party and became a full
fedged Democrat.
The president is now at the half
way station in his Democratic progress
but he shows no inclination to stop
there. Every day his Republican start
ing point grows less distinct in the
rear distance and the Democratic goal
ahead becomes correspondingly more
clearly visible.
But even if this promising novitiate
reaches the stage of full conversion
he will be obliged to await the period
of probation before he will be eligible
to communion with the political elect.

STOCKTON FINDS

Northern Visitors Form Boosters
Club 18th Object of Increasing
Stockton's Population
to 100000

| Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful are the
works of the wizards of Los Angeles county.
This was the consensus of opinion of the hun
dred and twenty odd members of the Stockton
chamber of commerce voiced by D. Guern-
sey, the president of that energetic organza-
tion, at an informal banquet at the HollenbecA
last night.
I'VE came to see the things that have caused
the marvellous progress here in the southern
part Of the state, and If there is one thing
more than anything else that has impressed
us it is the harmonious spirit of unity with
which the great things accomplished"
While he was speaking and as If to indorse
his sentiments, from the adjoining room where
the merry banqueters were celebrating in all
the esctasy of postprandial influence, there
came the words of an enthusiastic member
as he proposed the organization of Hundred
Thousand Booster club for their home city
founded the magnificent spirit of unity
that we have seen SO much of during our visit
here"
I'VE are going home with a full compile
ment of ideas that we have acquired during our
stay here, said James A. Barr. superintend-
ent Of the Stockton city schools
Spirit of Unity Ideal
I'VE came to what had been the vehicle
that had carried your wonderful city and the
surrounding country so far ahead of us in the
north, and by crowdng into week what the
ordinary tourist sees in month we con
vinced that the spirit of unity has been the
ideal of your citizens.
80 far as the climate. soil and products are
concerned we feel that Stockton is in as gooo
IL not better Glass; but we can and have
learned lots in the matter of energy.
Your streets, your parks and your public
buildings are simply marvellous to US, but lei
me tell you one thing that speaks volume:
for the progressive spirit of Stockton, JUS
before we left there was a meeting held al
which half a million dollars was subscribed
for the creation of a tourist hotel and it will
be placed right at the head of the harbor''
Prompted by the great things they had seen
the Stocktonians organized a Hundred Thou
sand Booster club for their fair city, and amid
T1rac xtra
made an honorary vice president, to accelerat,
progress and instil, interest in the new or
ganizatiol.
Today and tomorrow the Stockton boosters
will sweep down upon the Los Angeles store
and other points of interest about the city
including the parks and schools
Tonight the Los Angeles chamber of com
merce will tender them a formal reception
banquet at the exhibition rooms, after whcl
the Stockton party will disband, some return

rest Of the week.
