CHECK BOND PROPOSITIONS

1t is not good financial policy to
project further bond issues, for any pur-
pose whatever, pending the sale of the
first issue Of Owens river water bonds.
The initial. issue of sS.OOo,0OO Of water
bonds win be offered in the financial
marts of the east as soon as the requi-
site preparations can be made. No
action should be taken meantime that
might. in any degree, initiate against
the marketing of that issue on favor
able terms.
At least half a dozen propositions
for bond issues are now before the city
council and they are pressed with in
creased energy as a consequence, ap-
parently, of the sweeping vote in favor
of the water bonds. All of the pending
propositions are commendable, in a
general sense, but it is not expedient
to push them forward just at this
time
The tentative bond propositions in
question aggregate not less than two
million dollars. They cover provision
for more school buildings, completion
of the outfall sewer, engine houses and
other fire department improvements,
new bridges, new police station, a
city library building and a new city
hall. And in addition there is perplex-
ing shortage of funds for current ac-
count of public expenditures.
Some of the needs indicated by these
various propositions are of pressing
character and perhaps it would be wise
to make an exception, in the case of
one or two, to the policy of holding all
in abeyance until the first water bond
issue is marketed. 1t would obviously
be better in a general sense, however,
If all We're held in check few weeks
longer.
1t is highly desirable that the water
bonds should meet with favor in east
ern financial circles on their fist in
PRODUCTION. In ordinary circumstances
there would be no reason for doubt
on that point, as the credit of Los An
geles is of the highest gilt-edged type.
But there has been for months a
marked stringency in the eastern
money centers, with no likelihood of a
favorable change prior to the time
when the water bonds will be offered.
In view of this situation the offering
of additional Los Angeles bonds at this
time, or even the authorization of
them, might tend to weaken the de-
mand for the bonds that are depended
upon for the erection of the chief pillar
in the structure Of a Greater Los
Angeles.

PEACE THROUGH FORCE

While the representatives Of the
United States government in the peace
congress at The Hague were yester-
day arguing and appealing for the dis
armament of nations and the with
drawal of costly navies. in the interest
of universal peace, the administration
at Washington was closing contracts
for the construction of two battleships
which will be larger than the English
Dreadnaught, the largest in the world.
Ambassador Bryce of England was
yesterday telling university graduates
at st. Louis, speaking of the United
States: Happy is your lot compared
with that of the states of Europe, for
you have no external enemy to fear;
you need no vast fleets or armies to
protect you" On the same day there
was being forwarded through the mails
to the people a stirring, semi-ohicial
pamphlet, with an introduction by Hon.
William H. Taft, secretary Of war. urg-
ing the question, 'Is the United States
Prepared WARP"
ferred to Secretary Taft says: ST hope
that we may never have another war.
But our experience in the past does not
justify such a hope. 1t is our duty,
therefore, if we would be wise in our
generation, to make provision for a
comparatively small regular army and
efficient reser ie of volunteers, and an
adequate and cooperating force Of
state militia. The necessity Of these
measures at the present time, as well
as the blunders and financial short
sightedness which have characterized
our military policy in the past. are
clearly shown
In other words, we are shaking the
hand of other nations in fraternal
greeting. holding behind us the ever
ready sword as preparation against
treachery. All other nations are doing
the same thing. Hence, in the light
of history, we come back to the princi-
pie enunciated by President Washing
ton in a speech made to both houses of
congress on December 3, 1893, in which
he said:
"The United States ought not to in
dulge a persuasion that, contrary to
the order of human events, they will
forever keep at distance those pain
full appeals to arms with which the
history of every other nation abounds.
There is rank due these United
States among nations which will be
withheld, If not absolutely lost, by the
reputation of weakness. If we desire
to avoid insult, we must be able to
repel it; if we desire to secure peace,
one of the most powerful instruments
of our rising prosperity, it must be
known that we are at all times ready
for war"
And we haven't got any further along
than that. We are still apparently
rooted to the same spot, for we are
prating of peace and ,enlarging the
armies, carrying Nobel peace prize
on our manly shirt front at the same
time we are building Dreadnaughts
with both hands.
Words and battleships, doves and
more cannon. Maybe 1t will be thus
through force of arms that the nations
of the earth will be persuaded into
| peace.

GAMBLING AT HIGH SPEED

Opportunity for stock and grain
gambling when travelling at high rail-
way speed is the latest concession to
modern wealth-seeking insanity. The
innovation will reach Los Angeles at
an early stage of it's introduction. In
fact, an announcement from Omaha is
to the effect that the Union Pacific will
at once begin to issue stock and grain
quotations on all through trains to the
Pacific coast.
BY means of this latest adjunct OF
speculative gambling the votary of the
stock exchange and the grain pit may
exercise his desire as freely while
speeding at possible mile a minute
as while seated in his home Office or
participating in the bedlam of the ex-
change.
This incident is worth noticing only
as striking indication of the general
American trend in this era of uni
versal money chasing. The spectators
as marked by the stock tickers are not
the only class who are sacrificing on
the altar of mammon about all that
makes life WORTH living.
The eagerness for stock quotations
at all hours is paralleled by the aver
age business American. The same in
fiuence that causes the speculator to
watch the ticker, with his nerves at
high tension, causes the business man
in other lines to worry his brain and
make weary both mind and body.
The introduction of stock quotations
on railway trains is on level with
that more familiar American abomina-
ton, the table restaurant telephone. BY
means of that health destroying de-
vice the business man is enabled to
keep in touch with his affairs. even
while boiling his luncheon. Itais bad
enough to invite indigestion, dyspepsia
and other terrors of the stomach and
digestive organs by wretched cookery
and the usual quick meal system, but
to so through the operation with an
accompaniment of business talk by
telephone is indirect suicide.
But the same greed for money that
leads to such extremes is in evidence,
quite generally, on much broader lines.
The average American business man
is apt to carry his affairs in his mind
to the home circle. He thinks and talks
shop" to the detriment of proper ac-
quaintance with his own family. And
when business conditions are not
roseate his mind is full of anxiety,
which he fails to disguise at home.
Even at church, if he happens to be a
church attendant, his mind is likely to
be exercised with things temporal
rather than with things spiritual.
No wonder that there are owlish pre-
dictions that the American element in
Cur population is likely to deteriorate
and perhaps eventually to lose it's as
cendancy in the nation. The craze for
wealth certainly is sapping both the
minds and bodies of large class of
American business men.

The eye Of the Needle.

When Christ says in his sermon
that It Is easier for camel to pass
through the ere OF needle than it Is
for rich man TO enter the Kingdom
Of heaven" he does not mean sewing
needle. but a hole through which a
camel had to pass through in getting
into a fortress. 1t was.the custom In
old times. and in parts OF Arabla still
is, for the people OF village to build
a fortress against the robbers OF the
desert, into which they carried an un.
derground passage in a zlgzag form
barely large enough for a camel lying
down on its side TO work itself through
into the courtyard Of the fort, and the
Saviour beautifully compares the strug-
gles of the animal to what the rich man
must suffer In order to gain paradise.
The hole was called 1.-The eye Of the
needle"
In the old stone cahirs, or walled
cities. iu Ireland specimens OF these
eyeholes may be seen. Most of them
have been partially destroyed, but
there is one almost perfect at Grianan
Eueach, in Donegal, and so ike the
