that when the voter exercises his

PETTY DISHONESTY

CONSIDERABLE uneasiness is be.
ing caused in certain official and
business circles in Los Angeles by
an alleged tendency on the part of
some institutions to be too easygoing
in the matter of prosecuting check
forgeries. 1t is also a cause of COM
ment that a comparatively small num-
Der of cases of obtaining money under
false pretenses are prosecuted. In in
stances of petty dishonesty of this ma
ture there is alleged to be a DISPOSE
ton to refrain from prosecuting Of
tenders il they make restitution--or
promise to make restitution. This
places their errors on the plane of
offenses against money, and not
against society, and is either a humili-
ating confession Of the modern in
clination to make the dollar count for
more than the man, or an acknowledge
ment that crimes against capital can
be atoned for by restitution. It is a
delicate matter to discuss, and we are
well aware that circumstances alter
cases, and that many man by curl
ously perverted mode of reasoning is
tempted to obtain money by false pre-
lenses, or to forge a small check, who
would not steal silver teaspoon. We
regret the necessity for this editorial,
but suggest that banks, ETC., which
refuse to protect themselves by prose-
cutting petty offenders who use pen,
ink and ingenuity for the purpose of
check fabrication are also Withholding
protection from the public.

LOCAL PROSPERITY

n UILDING activity in Los Angeles
n is phenomenal. Perhaps you
a have heard that expression be-
fore, but it is as well you should hear
it again, and have it impressed on you,
since we read that many cities in vari-
Gus parts of the country, but especially
in the east, have not managed to over
come completely the effects of the Re-
publican financial panic and have not
yet struck their accustomed gait.
Perhaps it is hardly correct to call
normal condition phenomenal, unless
we are to regard the growth of Los
Angeles as a constant phenomenon.
Reports made by the department of
buildings, board of public works.
show that in 1907, from August 1 to
August Z. inclusive, 1852 permits were
granted, the total valuation of which
was $145,62O. In 1908, from August
to August z, inclusive, 247 permits
were issued, representing a total valu-
alton of $214,6s4. This shows a striking
and wonderful increase in building ac-
tivity but does not tell the whole
story, because to the total valuation
must be added about $4,000 which
came in too late to be included in the
report.
Immediate prospects of increase in
building are no less astonishing than
actual gains already recorded. More
over, an important part of the growth
of Los Angeles is not taken into ac-
count by the departmental figures. The
record of building permits does not
include large number of homes which
are going up in all directions just out
side the city limits and in the vast
suburbs comprising the metropolitan
district. No city in the United States
can show a building record equal to
that of Los Angeles. Our beautiful
Southern California metropolis has
more drawing power than any other
city in North America. The magnetism |
Of our highly favored country, where
life is worth living. whether a citizen |

NATURE FAKE

!" ITH mingled diffidence and sor-
w row we call the attention of one
of our esteemed contemporaries
to fine nature fake which came to it
by direct wire from Washington"
Up to a certain point the yarn is well
constructed, and plausible. 1t says a
black and white domestic cat "had a
litter Of kittens" Good. No reason
why cat should not have litter of
kittens. 1t had the litter "at the 70
illogical park, Washington" Good. No
reason why cat should not be eccen-
trio enough to live at the Geological
park. Human beings live at queerer
places than that "One of the kittens
strayed near the bars of a leopard's
cage" Good. No reason why a fool
kitten should not stray near the bars
lashing tail, If it could get near enough.
"The leopard reached out and drew in
the venturesome stranger" Very
leopardlike conduct. 1.-THE mother cat
darted inside the bars and landed
squarely on top of the leopards head"
Bully for the cat. She deserves a. Car
negie medal. with a scream the
leopard released the kitten. Like a
fash the cat leaped down, seized her
offspring in her mouth, and
made her escape from the cage, leaving
the leopard licking it's wounds" If
our contemporary will explain how the
leopard licked wounds inflicted
"squarely on the top of it's head" we
will be generous and will refrain from
referring the matter to T. r.

mean a continuation of Roosevelt pol
icies. 1t would mean four years
clash and conflict between the Repub-
lican party-the national machine
which is responsible for the platform,
every plank in which it means to en-
force, president or no president, and
every omission from which it means to
omit, president or no president-and
the chief executive and his immediate
advisers. The result of an official
"Civil War" in Washington, no matter
what or whose policies finally pre-
vailed, would be bad for the national
policies; would create suspicion, dis
trust, alarm in business circles; would
produce intolerable conditions, and
would end in chaos of conflicting au-
thority, which would give the radicals
their long-sought opportunity of as
serting the first principles of Ameri-
canism and demanding a new deal, on
their plan.
Democracy is competent to take care
of the first principles of Americanism
and to give a good account of its
stewardship. 1t will prevent hazardous
experiments in radicalism, restore
Americanism, and with Americanism
restore confidence in the good faith of
the national assertions that all men
are created equal, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights, that among these
rights are life, liberty and the pursuit |
of happiness. and that to SECURE |

mastery illustration of the art of be-
ing noncommittal 1t reads like let

was not easily rebuffed. Again he
wrote, the second time asking explicit
ly; I'm your judgment would the
adoption of the law proposed be for
the best interests of the slater" AS
Hamlet said: 1.-The rest is silence"
Not a word has been said. but the
Lincoln Roosevelt league has not been
slow about seizing the opportunity to
ma some timely remarks. It's friends
say. the silence shows what may be
expected by reformers from ''the

But woman suffrage alone will not
free women, for no doubt Republican
wives would vote for Republican cam
didates, Democratic wives for Demo-
cratic doctrines, and Socialist wives
for Socialistic principles, etc. How
ever; there is a class division in the
realm Of sex, and the class-conscious
workingwoman would have to vote
against the class conscious capitalist
woman. This, whether she be married
or single.
Woman will not purify politics, but
she will fight for her children. Woman
is more conservative than man, yet,
when once her eyes are thoroushly
opened, she is a more Incorporating
revolutionist, more self-sacrificing and
willing to go to greater lengths than
the male; and not until the majority
of women stand shoulder to shoulder
with the majority of men, batting Tor
both economic and sex freedom, will
there be anything but an exchange OF
one kind of slavery for another as
