PROSPERITY WEEK

Nv It'll encouraging energy, anima-
w ton and determination, the good
people of Los Angeles have en-
tered into the spirit of the Home Prod
uets campaign. and Prosperity Week
will be one big. booming success from
beginning to end. Not only Will it ad-
yertise to the world the Industrial in
dependence and business success of Los
Angeles, but will give many of our
citizens much clearer and more def
mite idea than ever they have had of
the manufacturing resources and Won
derfuI progress of this metropolis. Cit
liens will have an opportunity of be-
coming acquainted with the actual
producing powers of their city.
Los Angeles has hundreds of manu-
featuring plants which give employ
ment to a large number of people.
More plants are being added constant
Iy and with the development of San
Pedro harbor and the completion of
the Panama canal this will become the
principal manufacturing and export
ing center of the far west. A COM
bination of advantageous circum-
stances will bring about that result
Just as surely as these lines are writ
ten and read. During Prosperity Week
citizens will be enabled to appreciate
the possibilities in world trade which
invite a continuance Of hard work.
The realization of these possibilities
VIII reward the enterprising citizens
who have devoted their energies, cap
ital, experience and ability to making
Los Angeles the foremost manufacture
ing and industrial city Of the Pacific
slope.
Meanwhile, and during and after
Prosperity Week, the words Of a lead
ing merchant should be impressed on
the memory of all loyal Angelenos:
'There is only one way to have per-
petual good times in Los Angeles, and
that win be for. the people to deal as
far as is possible in home products.
Nearly everything one needs for COM
fort is made right here in this section
of the country, and all true citizens

fare of the city-will use home prod
uets when they CAM

ing with the expected opposition, in
the majority of cases the employees
hailed the news of the projected re-
moval to the country with marked de-
light and satisfaction,
In the state of New Jersey there are
now some large engraving houses that
formerly carried on their work in the
cities. Many of the employees still live
in the outlying towns and cities. going
to and from their labors by trolley, and
there is no discomfort felt, but rather
a keen enjoyment of the ride in the
clear air.
In the establishment of such indus
tries as the opportunities of the country
afford there is great possibility of in
creased revenue to the Individual Sec
ton and the state as well. The benefit
to the employer and the employees
would be twofold-the realization of a
looked-for freedom from city narrow
ness and a renewed Yigor--the result
of the free life.
May the time be not far distant when
the philanthropists of today will bend
their energies toward the furthering of
those industries which we espouse.

Bliss Perry says commercialism has
affected American literature, lowered
its standard, more or less demoralized
it, and that newspapers give the best
literary expression of the thought and
activities of the country. He puts
them above books and magazines, with
this comment: Magazines are more
Immediately representative, no doubt,
than books but they are less truly
representative than the daily news
papers. The daily press gives more
adequate and on the whole more re-
assuring indication of the trend of
contemporary affairs than do the
magazines"

THINKS PROSPERITY WEEK"
NOT WHAT is REPRESENTED

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7,-[Editor
Herald: What is all this talk about
prosperity Week." Is that all we
are to get after all the talk that, if
Taft should be elected we would have
perpetual prosperity?
/ have not heard my boss say any
thing about hiring more men or raising
our reduced wages.
Why all this boost about homemade
products, without stopping to think Of
the detriment we are doing our broth
ers who may be located in some other
part of the country? Suppose they
should boycott our products, what
would we do and say?
There seem to be always aboundant
schemes to get a workingman to buy,
but few for providing him with some
thing to buy with that is speaking
generally in regard to the working
class. WAGEWO RKER.

T F a propaganda were established for
the building up of industries in
n those places where the economic
conditions would warrant and permit.
such movement would rebound to the
credit of those interested and would be
one of vast importance to the future
welfare of the nation.
In many sections of the country
water power transportation, labor and
raw products make the establishment
of industries practicable and would
bring large profit not only to those
who controlled them, but to the sur
rounding sections as well.
The social conditions are always bet
tered by accruing industries and the
refining influence of pure air, the life
free from the confines of city walls ana
the intercourse with nature, all tend
to bring about better condition of
life, and a looked-for satisfaction that
is only a dream to those who have been
reared in a crowded city.

1t will be more than a year before
President Roosevelt settles down to be
an editor. It is evident his renuncia-
ton OF. the presidential nomination is
complete and sincere. After all, and In
spite Of Nick, there cannot be any
Foundation for the stories about a re-
nomination four years hence. The only
newspaper editor who ever ran for
president was beaten out of his top
boots, and. as he was the greatest
newspaper editor the United States has
ever produced, we confess we cannot
see much hope for Editor Roosevelt
should he cherish presidential aspira-
lions.
