APPEAL TO THE COURTS.

Los Angeles is confronted by a PROD
lem similar to that which causes the
residents of the West Side in this city
Justly, to register their Indignant
protests.
Los Angeles taxpayer in the dis
trict which the police has given over
to protected vice, sent the following
petition to the board:
at is needless,to remind you that II
is Your duty under the charter, TO en-
force these laws which are being open
~ and fiagrantly violated every uis
with the Knowledge and consent or the
department controlled by you. So that
there may be no mistake about the To-
cation OF these places affecting my
property interests / hereby demand the
immediate suppression of the Follow
ing places.
Every piece of property in the dis
trict. says the Los Angeles Express,
is deprecated in value by the alliance
which exists between the police COM
mission and the keepers of the inta-
nous resorts. The value of the pro-
perty thereon for any legitimate use Is
DESTROYED by them. Owners should have
a right of action against the commits
sioners on their official bonds. Here
and there throughout the district are
homes bought by working people before
the scarlet Invasion flooded it. Their
homes have been ruined and their faini-
lies endangered by the deiling con
termination.
That is just the prospect of home
owners on the West Side, here, II the
City authorities, in defiance of law and
public sentiment, permit the constitute
ton of houses for immoral purposes,
as the intention seems to be. Let 1t
first be known that brothels can be
established in this City by the con-
sent of tho police, and hundreds OF
abandoned women and their evil at
tendants Will flock here from all over
the country, The district will be a hot
bed of crime OF every kind, from petty
thieving to murder. The courts should
be appealed to.

FOR sEuF-PRoTECTIoN.

There are indications that the sa-
| loon element is combining for the
purpose OF continuing its influence
upon municipal affairs. Saloon gov
eminent IS however, the most extrava-
| giant government possible. 1t has
been proved that, not only is II large

ism, but drinking also diminishes
mans capabillty for work and rend-
ers him unfit for positions OF respon-
| slblllty and trust, The great econ
| ouiic lose caused by the influence of
the saloon directly and indirectly. is
beyond computation.
The results of inquiry in Great
Britain are given in statistics gather
ed by Appleton's from government
sources, and they prove that Great
Britain simply by the strictest
elimination OF the excessive con-
sumption OF alcohol in that country
would increase It's labor output hy
more than $4,000, 100000 year,
while a similar study of statistics in
the United States indicates an in
creased productivity for the abstain
ing man az compared with the user of
large quantities Of alcoholic stimu-
lants Of nearly hfty per cent. That IL,
other things being equal, the man who
cuts out" the alcohol may reason
ably expect when he dies 10 be worth
twice as much as the heavy drinker.
Another inquiry among more than
5000 employers showed that thirty
one out of thnty-two classified sets of
replies gave reasons for forbidding or
diseouraging the use of alcohol among
their employees on economic grounds
a better quality OF work. fewer occl-
dents, and so on.
The conclusion Is evident. When
the saloon element marshalls us
forces, friends OF temperance should
organize FOR defense Whatever opin-
ion may be held on the temperance
question from a moral point Of view,
it IA not disputed that excessive drink
is one OF the most costly vices, and
