without grit enough to demonstrate
that "the gods help those who help

CROWN CITY BOARD HAS
NEW PROBLEM OF SALARIES

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, May 13.-There will be
a meeting of the board of education to-
morrow evening at which it is expected
the matter of increasing the scale of
teachers pay will be brought up.
There has been considerable agitation
during the past few weeks with this
object in view, for the teachers of Pas
adena do not receive as much money as
the teachers in any city of Southern
California of anything like the size.
The recent action Of the Los Angeles
board of education in increasing the
salaries of all teachers with the now
announced intention of still further
increase has shown the board here how
grave the crisis is. Already both Su-
perintendent of Schools Graham and
Assistant Superintendent Hamilton
have better offers from Long Beach,
and many of the rank and file are said
to have been rendered offers in nearby
cities at much better pay than they re-
ceive in Pasadena.
The problem in Pasadena is greatly
complicated because the last admins
tration cut $12, 900 from the educational
fund for the benefit of the municipal
electric light plant. This makes the
board of education exceedingly short, for
the board only asked in the first place
for money actually needed. Now the
teachers are paying the penalty and
are not being raised as are the people
in all other walks of life.

ADMIRAL W.. C. SWINBURNE
PAYS VISIT TO PASADENA

PASADENA, May 3.-Rear-Admiral
w. C. Swinburne, Of the U. S. s. Charles
ton, paid Pasadena visit this after
noon with a party of about thirty off,
GERS and friends. The party came to
Pasadena on special car after having
visited Monrovia, Baldwin's ranch, Ar
cadia and other nearby places: They
were met by ten large automobiles and
taken for a drive about the city under
the auspices of the Pasadena board Of
trade.
The admiral's stay in the Crown city
was only about an hour, but it is sell
dom that visitor sees so much of the
city in that length of time. He was
taken for a speedy ride over most OF
the fine residence streets Of the city and
expressed himself as being highly de-
lighted with what he saw.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-14
GOV. GILLETTS QUERY

Beaming with delight after having
witnessed the splendid spectacle of La
Fiesta, Governor Gillett expressed a
sentiment contrasting Los Angeles with
San Francisco. At the conclusion he
said: 'I could not help but think Of
the difference between the two cities
and 1 asked myself why? I did not at
tempt to answer the question; I will
leave that for Others"
1t was an easy question that the gov
ernor thus asked himself. 1t is so cas-
lily answered that we suspect our some
times discreet executive was moved not
so much by the difficulty of answering
as by the thought that a public an
swer might not be good politics"
But as the governor leaves his ques-
tion open and invites attempts to solve
it, The Herald promptly enlists as a
competitor for the answer prize.
"The difference between the two
cities"-San Francisco and Los Angeles
is fundamental. Although the dis
tance between them is less than five
hundred miles, they are in all charac-
teristic respects as far apart as the
poles, as different as day and night.
They are elementally as unlike as fire
and water
The cause Of this basic difference is
found in the widely divergent charac-
ter of the average units in the popu-
lation of the two cities. A literally
striking example of that difference is
seen in current news of the two COM
munities which is fresh in the minds of
newspaper readers.
Two strikes began almost simulta-
neously last week in San Francisco and
Los Angeles, that of the street car en-
ployes in the former city and of the
dray teamsters in the latter. The stu
alton in San Francisco, as a result oi
the strike there, is so familiar that nc
further allusion need be made to it ir
this connection. There is hardly q
doubt that the city would be in con-
dition of anarchy today but for the
proximity of state and federal soldiers
Contrast that outcome with the stu
alton in Los Angeles resulting from the
strike of the. teansters. Not the least
disturbance here The strikers pre-
sented a bold front in the demand fol
continued recognition of their union
but there was no thought of such law
lessness, rioting and bloodshed as have
left their indelible stain upon San Fran
cisco.
The Los Angeles teamsters were con
siderate enough to think of their fami
lies and of the homes they own who'll!
or in part, or for which they are striv
ing. They had the good sense to SCI
that idleness would mean the ruin o
domestic hopes and perhaps lead t.
destitution at home. Therefore, instea'
of going from bad to worse, as the Sal
Francisco carmen have done, tn
teamsters first considered scheme TO
cooperative trucking association, bu
finally concluded to regain their forme
jobs on such honorable terms as wer
obtainable.
