THE CITY OF ANGELS

mHE spirit Of municipal beautifica-
ton is becoming national. With
4 its development we see evidences,
In Los Angeles as elsewhere, of grow
ing desire that not alone shall the city
beautiful of the future be planned so
that it may be made center of attrac-
tion for tourists, famous, possibly, the
world over, but that it may be the
source of unending pleasure to those
who may roam its avenues and parks
and say, "This is my home"
The one great motive which should
impel the present generation in Los
Angeles so to build as to make pos
sible of fulflment the prophecy which
has so often been made regarding it's
artistic destiny should be Gas we believe
it isl the creation of a perfect home
city for posterity-or at least a city
that is as nearly perfect, from the
artistic viewpoint. as artifice can make
it. The homely adage to the effect that
the way in which the growing twig is
bent governs the direction in which the
tree inclines is appropriate to our city
at this moment.
Even as Rome was not built in a day,
the beautiful Los Angeles of our dreams
cannot be evolved in a trice. Years of
careful planning, with one definite gen.
eral scheme in mind at all times-plans
that may undergo numerous changes as
the surprises in our growth develop
with the inculcation of a spirit of opti-
mistic cooperation, will give to the
generations yet unborn a city whose
whole aspect is in consonance with the
significant name it bears, the City of
Angeis-which we may properly inter-
pret to mean a paradise on earth.
Charles Mulford Robinson, who for
some time has been at work drafting
a general scheme which may be applied
here, declares that no other city in
America lends itself more willingly as
a subject for the landscape architect
than does Los Angeles. His ideas, when
incorporated in the report he is soon TO
make, if carried out, with such modi-
fications as may be rendered expedient
as the city expands, may demand the
expenditure of a princely fortune; but
inasmuch as this expenditure may be
spread over quarter of century,
thereby depriving it entirely of all bur-
densome character we believe the in
habitants of Los Angeles will rise to
the occasion and, day by day, year by
year, come nearer and nearer to the
demonstration of a unanimity of that
spirit of pride which will insure the
ultimate fulfilment of our manifest des-
tiny.

GIVE THEM A HAND

nHE shippers of San Francisco, who
have organized for the purpose Of
u instituting proceedings for the pun
ishment of the Southern Pacific for re-
batting, Independently of any action
that may be taken by the railroad
commission or the attorney general, are
getting mad. The further they probe
into the operations of that company as
an exploiter of the small fry the
worse they find the conditions indicated
by the confession made by agents of
the road before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Lane.
Enough data have been gathered to
make out convincing case against
the railroad. These shippers win be
able to prove to the satisfaction of any
court that Mr. Lane knew what he
was talking about when he declared
that nowhere else in the United States
has there ever been perpetrated such
outrageous injustices by railroad in
its dealings with its patrons as those
which have been tolerated so long by
the interests which have been depend
ent upon the Southern Pacific for
transportation facilities.
There is no doubt whatever about the
safe character of the evidence that
these shippers will be able to present
In court. Mr.. Lane had laid before
him records and correspondence show
ing that on at least two hundred differ
ent commodities transported between
San Francisco and San Joaquin valley
points rates have been established in
defiance of the law. In many instances
the amount rebated equaled the total
transportation expenses charged
against the shipper victimized by the
discrimination.
San Francisco shippers should not be
allowed to handle this aspect of the
fight alone, From every city in Cali
fornia offers of cooperation should be
made at once. Every large community
in the state will want to enjoy some
part of the credit attaching to the VIC
tory of the final day of reckoning.
That it may do so it should join hands
with the San Franciscans, lending
them every possible moral and mate
rial aid.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 17.--Augus-
tus Z. Wilson, Republican governor-elect
of Kentucky, with Mrs. Wilson, who are
on their way to Washington, stopped
here today with relatives. In an inter-
view this afternoon Mr.. Wilson said thai
if William S. Taylor, former governor OF
Kentucky, and Charles Finley, former
secretary of state, under Indictment for

they get an abs ,luely fair trial. He de-
clined to discuss the case of Caleb Pow
ers but declared he wants him also tc
have a fair and impartial trial.
Mr.. Wilson denied the report that he
had come to indianapolis to see former
Governor Taylor. He said:
Taylor and Finley will come when 1
send for them, and / will send for them
at the proper time. That will be when

William S. Taylor. former governor oi
Kentucky, tonight reiterated his state
ment that he is willing to go back to
Kentucky for trial when he can get jus
tice. When Governor -elect wilson,
statements were read to him he said that
in his opinion Mr.. Wilson has taken the
proper view of things.

THE WINNER

T seems a trifie like a political
string out of tune that Oklahoma,
a the newest of the continental
American territories, should be ad-
mitted to the Union of states and that
New Mexico which was practically
guaranteed statehood the same year in
which California shook off her terri
torial garments, half a century ago,
should still be struggling along under
are organic law which followed closely
upon the heels of the Mexican war.
But the lack of harmony is only ap-
parent. not real. Oklahoma, a few
years ago the home of none but In
thousands of enlightened Americans.
In all but population she is one of the
great states of the middle west. Her
agricultural resources are almost
boundless. Where less than a score o.
years ago the coyote and the jack
rabbit homed there are now prosperou:
cities possessed of from 10000 to 10000
inhabitants, surrounded by highly i'm
proved farms of the most productive
character. Her citizens. taken as A
whole, are among the most enlightened
and progressive, industrially and politi-
cally, in America. In the scheme OF
government they have adopted they
are far in advance of most older COM
munities. Some of the more conserva-
tive politicians of the country declare
that the Oklahoma constitution is revo-
lutionary That may be-but the world
surely revolves.
If congress had kept faith with the
inhabitants of New Mexico-then 60O(
or 5000 whites and hundred odd thou
sand native inhabitants, chiefly Indians
her star would have gone upon the
flag fifty years ago. She would have
made a magnificent state, in area, fol
one county there included practically
all the present territory of Arizona.
New Mexico and Arizona were re-
peatedly referred to by Judge Rodey
delegate in congress, as tunnels
through which the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe railroads were compelled tc
pass in gaining the Pacific coast" Pos
sibly that is one of the chiefest of the
several reasons why Oklahoma beat
both these territories in the race fol
statehood.

IT WILL CURE

TN the course of his widely quoted
speech at Sacramento a few days
Il ago Francis j. Heney, in suggest
ing a means by which the state of Cali
fornia could free itself of the domina-
tion of the Southern Pacifc's political
bureau, said:
ENACT comprehensive direct pri-
mary election law and you will wipe
out the system. :. IS. With direct
primary law. you, and not William f.
Herrin, will select your public servants.
Public officials will be responsible to
you; not to Herrin or any of his UNDER
ling bosses. Then California will be
free"
Mr. Heney advanced no fresh idea.
What he said is but the sentiment of
every voter in the state whose aim is
the attainment Of common decency in
politics, if nothing higher. Nobody
will contend that the direct primary
will prove a political panacea. But
there is no doubt that most causes for
the political maladies which now aftiicI
us will go when it enters our system
1t will kill off the monstrous affiiction
which we know as the boss" This
alone is sufficient reason why every
decent. honest. self-respecting citizen
Of California. without regard to his
predictions IN national affairs, should
rally to the support Of the direct
primary.

THE SHAME OF 1T

"HE HERALD wishes that it could
impress upon every ono in this

young man whose character is forming
and who is just entering upon a busi-
ness career, the moral aspect of a
scene which the court room of Judge
Hough, of the United States circuit

messed during two days of the past
week.
In the proceeding being heard in that
court, in which the interstate COM
merce commission of the United States
appears as complainant and e, H. Har-
riman as defendant, the spectacle is
shown of a man at the head of the
greatest combination of railroad lines
that the world has ever seen, which in
effect means the most powerful combin-
alton of incorporated wealth that the
world has ever seen, striving to avoid
answering questions propounded by an
inquisitorial body of the government Of
this country, whose object 1t is to show
what wrongful personal profit he has

of the great corporate interests in

TAFTR REACHES
WADIVOSTOK
PASSES WRECK OF MUTlNEERS
DESTROYER
Secretary to Cross the Russias In In1-
periaI Car--Is Undisturbed by
False Collision Signal
on Rainbow

BY Associated Press.
VLADIVoSToK, Nov. 17-Secretary
Taft arrived here at noon today on board
the converted cruiser Rainbow.
The Rainbow was conveyed by the
cruisers Chattanooga and Galveston.
When the American vessels entered the
Golden Horn they were met by a Russian
gunboat detailed to escort them up the
harbor. Salutes were exchanged with the
land batteries. AS the Rainbow steamed
in there could be seen the wreck of the
Russian torpedo boat destroyer which
was sunk during the recent naval mutiny.
The Rainbow anchored off shore,
guarded by the Chattanooga and the Gal
weston. The secretary and his party Will
remain on board their steamer until their
departure from Vladivostok over the
Trans-Siberan railroad for st. Peters
burg at o'clock on the morning of No
vember 10. An imperial car has been
placed at Mr.. Tafts disposal for this
Journey and the emperor of Russia has
detailed military and naval aides to ac-
company him.
General Peluga, the commandant of this
port, and other naval. military and civil
officials, called upon Mr. Taft this alter
noon. 1t is probable that from st. Pc
tersburg Mr.. Taft will journey direct to
Hamburg and sail for New York on De-
cember on the steamer President Grant.
The arrival here of the Rainbow was
delayed half day by a severe 'northeriy
gale, wnich was encountered November
15 The heavy seas caused considerable
discomfort, and on the night of the 18th
the accidental sounding of the collision
gnal created alarm on board. \
Mr.. Taft was the guest of the wardroom
mess of the Rainbow at dinner the same
night. The secretary made a brief speech
in which he thanked the officers for their
entertainment A minstrel show was
given in his honor, at which the mem
bers of the crew were present.

TWO BOYS CONFESS HAVING
ROBBED DRUNKEN MAN OF $1s

Suspicious as to their actions the police
early Sunday morning arrested two small
boys near Ninth and Maple avenue, who
later proved to be, from their own con-
fessions, youthful criminals.
The two boys, Frank Allen, aged y,
living at 2O9 Ann street, and Willie
Ryan, aged TO- whose home is on LIE Roy
street, were questioned closely at the sta
ton when $15 in money was found in
their pockets.
They finally told the police they had
found a man .ying drunk behind the
Grand theater and had gone through his
pockets, taking the money A search for
the drunken man was made, but he had
evidently sobered up and left the place.
The boys were sent to the detention home.

could be answered-would show that
he. while holding a fiduclary relation
ship to his corporations. had contrib
uted to his personal enrichment by the
wrongful use OF his position; that he
had used his place of confidence and
trust for the purpose of selling to the
corporations which he represented and
by which he was employed property
which he and his particular coterie of
friends had acquired at much lower
prices than those at which they were
delivered to his companies-in other
words. that he had violated a principle
of law governing fiduciary responsible
ity as old as the English common law,
and principle of morals older than the
decaiogue-he finds it necessary to re-
fuse to answer.
By such refusal a man whose
transcendent abilities as an organizer
and administrator of great business in
terests has challenged the admiration
and provoked the astonishment of the
financial world has shown himself in
his nature and practices to be nothing
more than common CRATER, and, in
place of enjoying the respect and al
most the reverence of the business
world, has shown himself entitled only
to its contempt and reprobation.
With such an example before them
men should understand that dollars may
be acquired at too high a price, and
that no man is so surely and pitifully
bankrupt as he who through greed and
avarice has been false to positions OF
trust in which his abilities have placed
him, and has thus forfeited the respect
and confidence of his fellow men.
