would have wanted to license the
slave trade and allow it to. go on
and flourish throughout our
history.
We are informed that one of the
leading spirits in defense of the
saloon whose sentiments have
been voiced in your columns on
the saloon question, is also in fav-
or of licensing a house of ill-fame
for Holly. Are you at all sur
prised? Which would be the bet
ter way; to apply the same rule we
use for all other evils to such
evils as these, or to apply the rule
We use for the saloon to all other
evils? Is it better to place "a thing
that is recognized as all evil the
worll over under the penalty of
the law, thus keeping it down to
the lowest minimum, or is it best
to protect it by our laws. thus in
creasing the indulgence in the evil
from ten to ii hundred fold.
Now from Il financial standpoint
You have perhaps noticed the big
poster STUCK up i'll the window OF
the saloon, stating the number of
millions of bushels OF corn. rye,
barley, ETC., that was used the last
year in the making of liquor: the
thousands of men that We're kept
employed by the work required TO
make it; the thousands of dollars
worth of lumber and material that
was used, and then ends by stating
that one third of all the taxes col
lected, was from things necessary
to the carrying on Of the liquor
traffic.
In Mr.. Property Owners" ar
ticle he advises us to keep our
money at home. Now, it is fact
that none can dispute that the
man who buys the liquor has to
pay enough for it to cover the cost
of the grain from which it is made
and the cost of the labor that was
required to make it; the profit to
the brewer; the transportation
charges; the saloon keepers profit
and the license to the town.
Now, how much of the grain
that was used in the manufacture
of liquor last year was raised in
Prowers County? How many men
in our community were benefited
by the labor required to make it?
And how many of our citizens
here rea; ed profit from the bust
ness? Thus you can easily see
| that every dollar our town receives
in license costs those who patron
ize the saloons at least two. And
to the man who buys the liquor it
| is money wssted, because he gets
nothing that is of any use to him
whatever; no fabrics to wear; no
food to sustain the body; no books
to inform the mind; no articles of
comfort to the home; nothing that
| adorns civilizat on, eIevates society
or adds a single impulse of good to
the community. And it is money
worse than wasted, because when
he drinks it it dulls his intellect,
impairs his health and arouses all
sorts of evil inclinations to his
mind, causing him to commit bad
deals, abnse his family. and often
! causes him to commit crime.

A SIGNED LETTER
Editor Holly CaiefJail:

Editor Holly C.llelual.i:
In all the arguments brol .ht
forth in support of the saloons we
have not yet heard any one claim
that the saloons in themselves are
good thing. About the strongest
argument that the friend of the
saloon seems able to produce is,
liquor will be drank whether we
have saloons or not, and therefore
the best thing to do is to protect
the evil by the laws of our country
and allow it to 60 ON and flourish
for share i'll the profits.
Now citizens, is that the way t.
look at the matter? Is that the
way we look at other matters that
are recognized as being wrong and
evil? Tuere is going to be steal
ing, robbing and murder commit
ted as long as tn s world tands.
Would it not be just about rs reas-
enable to license such things AMI
protect those that engage i'll them
by our laws, for share i'll the
money they gain therebys
And does it not stand to reaso,
that Just as we can legislata
against other things and keep them
down hy law, SO we can the liquor
traffic.
Now bear in mind that no one is
advocating Blind Tigers, bootleg
gers, and the like. What we plan
to do is to abolish the liquor traf-
fc in every shape and form. AS
we understand it we have one Of
the best laws regulating the sale
of liquor through the drug stores
in the country. The druggist is
under heavy bond, the Doctor is
also under bond, and the druggist
is not allowed to sell drop with
out written prescription from the
doctor. No prescription can be
filled but once. 1t is as much of
a crime to give it away as to sell it.
One of the arguments Of the
saloon forces is that if Holly goes
dry, the saloon will only be moved
outside of the town limits. Now
this cannot be done as the County
Commissioners have already sign
ed an agreement that if the towns
goes dry, no license will be given
for a saloon in the county any
where.
Now, if we insist that we can
not make laws that we know to be
for the best of our welfare and en-
force them, then we are simply ad-
hitting that we are not capable of
self government.
Abraham Lincoln said: "This
legalized liquor traffic as carried
on in the saloons and Grog shops
is the great tragedy Of civilization.

the greatest foe, the most blighting

NEW CHURCH DEDICATED BY
METHoDIsTS OF ALTADENA

PASADENA, Nov. 22.-Altadena's
new Methodist church was dedicated
this afternoon, Rev. Matthew S.
Hughes, pastor of the First Methodist
church of Pasadena, preaching the SER
mon. Rev. E. S. Chase, pastor, and
DR.. S. A. Thompson, district superin-
tendent, assisted in the ceremonies.
The church is the outgrowth of six
years faithful work by Methodists in
the foothill suburb. 1t began with
services held by Rev. Lewis Mitchell
in the old car barns on Calaveras
street. A few years later G. G. Green,
proprietor of the Green hotel and one
of the heaviest property holders in AL
tadena, donated a lot for a church
building; but as the congregation was
at that time unable to build the lot
was used for a schoolhouse, where
services were held until the newly
completed building was occupied.
The new church cost about $4,000,
and is practically paid for

DISCUSS EQUIPMENT FOR
NEW PUBLIC PLAYGROUND
Money for Various Courts and Base
ball Field Probably Will Be
Voted at the Meeting
Today

PASADENA, Nov. 22.-At the city
commissioners meeting tomorrow a
report probably will be given on the
equipment necessary for the proposed
public playground in Carmelita gar
dens, and the commission will then
order the purchase of such apparatus.
At the meeting last week Commits
sioner W. S. Windham, chairman of
the playground committee, read let
ter from superintendent Raitt of Los
Angeles, giving a list of desirable APP
paratus, but the commissioners We're
not convinced of the necessity of buy
ing all the paraphernalia suggested.
Mr.. Windham was instructed to confer
with others.
1t was decided to lay first a basket
ball court, handball court, tennis court,
croquet grounds, baseball field and 9TH
er features of similar nature. Money
for these probably will be voted to-
morrow and the work rushed.
The commissioners are now trying
to find suitable man for superinten-
dent of the playground and may not
install any other apparatus until they
have secured someone to look after it.

PIONEERS ORGANIZE, HAVING
SIXTY MEMBERS AS START

PASADENA, Nov. 22.-With Judge
H. e. Magee as president the Pasadena
Pioneers association was organized at
the board of trade rooms last night. A
preliminary meeting had been held a
week previously, at which it was as
certained that sentiment was favorable.
Once before an attempt was made to
establish an organization of old settlers
mere, but it was a failure. This one
apparently will succeed, since it has
already a membership of about sixty
leading citizens, who have fulfilled the
requirements by residing here for at
least twenty-five years
Last night a rule was adopted that
members of the immediate family of a
pioneer should be eligible to associate
membership in the association.
Sherman Washburn was elected vice
president and i. H. Heydenreich sec
rotary and treasurer. A committee was
appointed to decide on the place and
program for the next meeting, to be
held in two weeks.

ADVOCATES OF ANNEXATION
SETTLE SCHOOL PROBLEM

SAN PEDRO, Nov. 22-It is the in
tentiOn of the supporters of the propo-
sition for annexation which will soon
be submitted to the voters here, to meet
every argument, no matter how SEEM
ingly trivial, that is advanced by the
opposition.
The question of schools has been
raised by an attorney on the north
hill, where a school house having only
the lower grades is situated. The at
torney claimed if the territory went
to Los Angeles his children would have
to walk to Fifth Street school, as one
of them does now, and then pay tut
ton to the San Pedro schools.
The attorneys for the Municipal Wa
terways association and the city attor-
ney of Los Angeles have given an opin-
ion that the children in the severed
district will be entitled to go to school
in the present district, until the super
visors establish a new school district,
and that the matter of schools is not
a municipal affair and therefore the
right to attend school is not affected
at all by severance of territory"

HURRIED CALL FOR
SIGNATURES ISSUED
OF BUYING OUT
WATER PLANTS ACTIVE
Committee Reticent as to Course, but
Petition Is Said to Have Been
Signed by Nearly Three
Thousand
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, Nov 22.-Although the
resubmission committee, which desires
to have another vote on the question
of buying the water plants, yesterday
sent out a hurry call for signers to its
petitions, it is understood that no cam
paign will be opened if the requisite
number of signers is obtained until
after the first of next year.
The committee has adopted a new
policy lately and now refuses to tell
how many signers it has secured on
the petition addressed to the city
council for a resubmission of the ques-
ton. 1t is understood, however, that
nearly 5000 have been gained and that
1000 or more are still needed to COM
plete the legal number
The committees headquarters are
kept open daily at 9 West Colorado
street, in charge of William Easter
brook, but, aside from this, little actual
work is being done.

well, member of Company H, is
under arrest on a charge of having
forged the name of A. D. Borden,

ON INDIAN RESERVATION
If New Survey Shows Land Improved
Is Government Property,
Aqueducts Will Be

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 22-The
federal Indian authorities have en-
countered a serious situation on the
Santa Manuel reservation, northeast of
this city, in the matter of a water sup
ply for irrigation purposes 1t the resef-

preliminary surveys for the system sew
eral tunnels built by private water
companies in the Highland section have
been dug in the sides of the hills until
they extend to the reservation lands.
The matter has been referred to the
department and it is expected another
survey will be ordered and an investi-
cation made. In case the situation is
found to be as represented the govern
ment probably will condemn the tun-
nels in favor of the Indians reimburs-
ing the owners.

MINER BELIEVED TO HAVE
Persisted ON THE DESERT
Man Whose Name is Unknown to
Employers Left Camp Without
Provisions and Cannot
Be Found

SAN BERNARDINo, l,ov. PA
man whose name is not known here.
but who was hired to work as miner
at Los Angeles, is believed to have per-
ished on the desert in the vicinity of
the tungsten mines, over which J. E..
Meyer and E. H. Green are in litiga-
ton.
A man named Bishop has charge of
the property and recently hired two
new men at Los Angeles. A few morn
ings ago one of them left the camp,
taking a part of his blankets but none
of his personal effects. Every effort
has been made to locate him, but no
trace of him has been found and it is
believed he has persisted as he had no
food or water with him.
