EXAMPLE OF LOS ANGELES

N CONSIDERABLE interest is being
aroused by the plan of the Anti
" Saloon league of California to
hold big convention in Los Angeles
on June and 8. The Anti-Saloon
league will report progress and re-
joice over 1t. A great deal has been ac-
complished since June 2, 1905, when S349
voters registered their verdict against
the saloon. Printed announcements of
the convention say that since that
memorable day four great states, hun
dreds of counties in other states and
many great cities have abolished the
saloon. The struggle in Los Angeles
undoubtedly encouraged other cities to
rise up and Danish the liquor curse
from their borders. Los Angeles citi-
zens should never forget that this COM
munity has more responsibility than
others which have larger population.
Los Angeles is a center of national in
terest. Whatever is done here is COM
mented on in every part of the United
States. A reform movement which is
successful here will invariably be
adopted elsewhere. Los Angeles sets
an example to hundreds and sometimes
probably thousands of cities through
out the United States. Not even New
York is better known than Los An
geles. We should realize this, and
while, of course, it is our duty to "be
good and do good" under all conditions,
we may be encouraged to constant
activity in we'll doing by the fact that

Savings banks doing a strictly saw
ings business shall not be required to
carry any reserve. Savings banks do
ing a savings and commercial business
shall be required to carry reserve of
Is per cent of their deposits" This is
the resolution sent by the bankers
convention to the governors banking
reform commission. 1t will draw the
line between commercial savings banks
and those of the more primitive type.
which on a big and businesslike scale
illustrate the principle of the little old
money pig or the stocking. When a
savings bank engages in commercial
business surely 1t should be governed
by rules like those which restrict
larger institutions which use other
peoples money.

GIGANTIC INDUSTRY

NREAT is the California fruit in
VT dustry. 1t illustrates the develop
W ment of California along lines
which no other state can follow or
even initiate. This gigantic industry
is by no means limited to citrus fruits,
although CALIFORNIA; national suprem-
acy in citrus varieties is undisputed.
In addition to it's steady, annual prod
uct OF citrus fruit it has a variety of
of other fruit families.
A California fruit basket may be
heaped with pomelos, guavas, loquats,
cherrimoyers, logan berries, blackber-
ries, raspberries, strawberries and in
deed every kind of berry under the
sun, for all the fruit that grows under
the sun in any region of the world
grows under the California sun. Braw-
ley has scored a victory this season
by marketing cantaloupes twenty days
before the usual opening Of the season.
A new record has been established in
a branch of the fruit industry which
four years ago was hardly known in
Imperial valley. This shows that the
spirit OF enterprise animates California
fruit growers. Not content with the
great achievements Of the past they
look for new worlds to conquer. They
are quick to adopt suggestions, quick
to carry them out, and therefore it is
only right they should be equally quick
to reap the reward of their originality,
initiative and industry. The canta-
loupe crop this year will bring over
a million dollars. There is no greater
industry in the United States than the
California fruit industry.

SAY HOODLUMS WE'RE
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
WITH THE JAPANESE

The Ottawa authorities, as we'll as
the Japanese, declare that the vancou-
yer riots are not to be compared with
those OF San francisco. They say that
whereas the authorities in California
were. If not in the letter then in the
spirit parties to the anti-Asiatic
demonstrations, on the other hand it
was nothing but laborers and hood
lums that were responsible in Vancou-
ver Baron Ishii. the Japanese govern
ment representative who investigated
the troubles, in recent Japanese
magazine article, declares that Ameri-
can laborers are benighted, ignorant
and Indifferent, and at the same time
are a great political factor. He puts
the blame for the Pacific coast riots on
them and especially on the irish
Americans. His views in this particu-
lar are shared b. some of the Ottawa
authorities, who want to see Canadian
labor cut entirely loose from that OF
the United States, declaring that al
most without exception any trouble
that Canadian labor has gotten into
comes from the labor organizations of
the United States.
The trouble at Vancouver is the same
old story of race antipathy that has
been known from the time that the
Canadians hated the people IF Israel.
Anglo-SaXons have ever insisted on
Anglo-Saxon supremacy. And today
England is having trouble with the
Asiatics not only in Canada but in
New Zealand, Australia and in South
Africa. In every self-governing Brit
ish possession the people have made a
solemn resolve to keep their several
countries to themselves, and to receive
only such immigrants as they can as
simulate And II iS declared nv Fin pIisb
writer's who are thoroughly acquainted
with the situation that these countries
are prepared to make any sacrifice to
maintain Anglo-Saxon supremacy. So
long as England and America can hold
in check that tide of Asiatic emigration
that Is ambitious to sweep out into
the newer portions of the world where
opportunity is young and mans des-
tiny is a large one, all is likely to be
well.
But it will take the combined d.
plomacy and the combined strength
of the two great Anglo-Saxon nations
to accomplish 1t. Even South Amer
lea is awakening to the danger of ORR
entail immigration. and the situation
there is not much less acute than in
our own continent. A prominent Jap
anese writer, discussing the hope of
ultimate success in colonizing in the
western world, acknowledges the seri-
BUSINESS of the opposition to his people
when he says that If they hope to. sue
coed as colonizers like other races or
nationalities they have yet to see their
tracks covered with the bones OF
martyrs who have perished in the
struggle.

BIG pow vows

MI ANKIND'S superiority over all the
An rest of creation is marked by
III the pow WOW habit. In every
great transaction of life in which more
than individual interests are con-
cerned he refuses to trust Individual
Judgment. He convenes meeting, and
talks it over, and the primitive pow
wow and civilized conference or con-
yention have much in common. The
Indian DOW WOW consisted of coun-
ell. a dinner and a dance. Most of the
great gatherings of white men have
like program, council, dinner and
dance. When the conventions are cler-
ical in character, the dance is omitted,
but the secular pastime of eating Is
not forbidden, and even bishops have
been known to dine-and deliver ora
lions after dinner. Three typical
classes of the great American COM
munity have been holding pow vows.
Republicans met at Sacramento and
chose delegates to the national Re-
publican convention. California bank
ers assembled at Pasadena and de-
manded a reform of the banking laws
of the United States and mod1f1ca-
ton, repeal or radical reconstruction
of the banking laws of California. The
governors of the United States met
at Washington to consider ways and
means of preserving national re-
sources. Three meetings of such great
significance and vitality important ma
tionaI conventions in the near future
show the strength and at the same
time the usefulness of the pow WOW
habit Without free speech. in legis-
lative halls, in council chambers, in
court rooms, in public places and in
the public press, our civilization soon
would perish

In order that no aspersions may be
cast on the Republican national con-
vention it has been resolved to con-
duct it on teetotal principles. No liquor
will be sold in the convention hall. No
drinking will be allowed on the prem
Ises. Republicans with jags will be
taken out and hung up on a line
to dry. There is one form of intoxica-
ton, however, which 1t will be impos-
sible to prohibit. 1t is certain some
of the national Republican spellbinders

uberance of their own verbosity."

Los Angeles is the natural center or
headquarters of the literary artistic

At present all three departments of
higher activity lack organization. The
elements are all here. A great deal of
talent either goes to waste in Los An

to organize and energize the purely

man Smith, stationed at 18th street and
New York avenue, spotted Mahoney driv-
ing across the car tracks and down the
street in violation Of the police regula-
tionE. He hailed Mahoney and Informed
him he would have to readjust his speed.
Mahoney questioned Smiths knowledge
of the subject. His arrest followed.
Taken 10 the station house he deposited
81 collateral and departed.
Mahoney wandered down the city lit
tie way-not more than a block or so
and shortly afterward became involved
in dispute with man who gave his
name as NJ =. Daritz. The same pro-
clivlty TO question rights and privileges
started the difficulty. Mahoney struck
Daritz several hard blows on the face
and body.
Policeman Smith was again on the
scene This time Mahoney put up $40
collateral
Mahoney started out from the station
house a third time and turned toward
the red light district with the avowed
purpose of behaving himself. He sue
ceeded for just about two hours.
About the time that the big hands Of
the post Office clock swung around to
O'Clock in the morning Mahoney found
himself in G street in an argument with
William G. Altdorfer, who says he lives
in the Ontario apartment house. The
particular point OF difference Is some
what in doubt. but. according to the po-
lice. was whether pigs feet in September
are a non-dyspeptic edible.
The police know definitely. however,
