Y. M. C. A.

A BIG CAMPAIGN for an increase
IN of membership is planned by the
IA Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. 1t is to be hoped great success
will attend this effort to add to the
enrolled strength of one of the finest
militant Christian and reform organiza-
lions in the world. The good accom-
plished by the Y. NJ. c. A. cannot be
estimated. It's effects on modern so
ciety may be imagined when we re-
fleet what modern society might be
without its restraining, modifying in
fiuences. The young men of this assoc
citation are all exemplars of what we
may call ''the first principles of Chris
tianity," and the fundamental prin-
ciple OF true Christianity is helpful
ness. The Good Samaritan was as good
a Christian as ever lived, and his
example was commended to all Chris
tians by the Master.
We hope every feature of every part
Of the movement to increase the mem
bership of the Y. M. C. A. and send It
into its fine new home triumphantly,
assured of ever increasing prosperity
and an ever broadening field OF in
fluence and work, will be patronized
literally by the public. Ladies and
gentlemen of Los Angeles, in helping
The Y. M. C. A. we help ourselves and
help our city.

HearSt'S Payr0HerS Mad
When They Hear BryaflS Name

Hearst leaguers into gentlemen. SO
great a consequence may flow from
such trihing cause. Whenever you
see a head hit 1t, and when the head is
removed from sight you become a gem
tleman by simple process of elimin-
ation-the elimination of Kansas.
Lest the Call be accused of exagger-
alton we quote the words of one of Mr..
Hearst's prose poets, describing the
scene:
absolute bedlam broke loose. Bry-
ans personal representative, Willis J.
Abbot, was present, and it Is to be
hoped that he was satisfied with his
work
Several hundred delegates were on
their feet shaking their fists and sticks,
denouncing Shepard, demanding that
he retire, asserting their purpose to
have straight ticket. The sergeants
at arms were graphing with the more
furious of the delegates. In the gal
leries there were men making moves
on every side.
Such was the effect of the name of
man that had hitherto been potent to
conjure with"
1t sounds like blank verse. But was
IL bedlam or pandemonium that broke
loose? We had a sneaking notion that
OLD pandemonium had cornered all the
patent rights on such political festivi-
ties. Pandemonium is a by-product of
politics always kept in stock by a fore
handed campaign manager.
Why do the heather rage and imag-
Inc vain thing? Possibly they sus-
pected that the man from Kansas was
getting personal. Mr.. Hearst's league
has fused so often, so variously and so
impartially, with such disastrous re-
suits, that a new proposition of the
same sort appears to have touched a
sore spot. 1t is enough to make any
Independent Lacquer feel like no gem
tleman to be reminded that he had been
put up for bargain and sale repeatedly
and had failed to get the prize. To be
chattel In the name of independence
Is CALLING enough, and so he took it
out of the gentle Shepard from Kansas.

WEATHER

4 THOUGH citizens of Los Angeles
III Yesterday said ut Is q warm
"a day" they knew they might have
with the weather endured by other
cities, especially in the east, that dealt
out to Los Angeles was a mild, enjoy
able brand. The people who were
realizing what summer heat means
were the unfortunate jewellers in New
York, Chicago and other overcrowded
centers of population, many sections Of
which-and let Los Angeles heed the
warning-have been built up with an eye
to profit and disregard of hygienic con-
ditions, which, during every hot wave,
are paid for in human lives. That
there should be overcrowding in a
country as big as the United States
is one of the wonders of the world. A
man from Mars would not be able to
understand it. He would probably go
mad thinking over it and trying to ac-
count for the eccentricity of human
beings who with millions of acres at
their disposal have chosen to gather
themselves together in densely popu-
lated centers and to huddle and heap
themselves on top of each other as II
all the available standing room on tbs
habitable globe were occupied. Hot
weather reports from the east make
plain the fact that much unnecessary
waste of life is produced by remediable
conditions. The sacrifice is as need
less as any committed more flagrantly
and more wantonly. You would be
highly indignant If you heard that some
great tyrannous power had assembled
100. 900 human beings in a meadow ano
killed them. But something exactly
like this happens in overcrowded cities
during every hot spell. Man is not tc
blame for the hot spells, of course but
he is to blame for the overcrowding
IT is also undeniable that in cities
owing to the attraction of heat by
huge structures and the equal and con.
sequent radiation after shutdown, mar
| is to blame for aggravating the hot
spell-for making It much worse thar
1t should be-for giving all overbuilt
cities a double punishment.
Californians may congratulate them
selves on the fact that the state is moi
overpopulated, that cities are not over
built and overcrowded, that there 4
still plenty of breathing space, and tina
even when we say, ut is a warm day,
we may thank our stars our warmes
day is free from the killing mixture o
heat and humidity which inhabitant'
of eastern cities must endure. Ant
many of them have not endurance
enough. The ordeal kills them.

CORRESPONDENT ASKS "WHAT
is CONTEMPT OF COURT"

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-[Bditor
Herald: Theodore Roosevelt is re-
ported to have said concerning the de-
eision of Judge Grosscup in the Stand
ard Oil fine case that 1t would have
been "a great miscarriage of justice II
through any technicalities of the kind
the defendants escape the punishment
which would unquestionably have been
melted out to any weaker defendant
who had been guilty of such offense."
If that is not contempt of court, as
understood by legal contempt" in
these times, will some sharp lawyer
explain the difference? 1t seems to be
the kind of contempt mot committed
in the presence of the court) that the
great parties in their platforms, are
trying to dispose of by jury trial. Can
the president commit contempt of a
federal court? This question can be
answered by circuit court Of appeals of
the seventh circuit. c.

II ELEGATE SHEPARD of Kansas is
glad he is alive. Mr.. Hearsts
~ leaguers in Chicago almost tore
him to pieces because he mentioned
Bryan's name in the way of kindness
1t is not very clear to the rank outsider
why the mere mention OF Mr.. Bryan's
name should make a Donnybrook fair
among Mr.. Hearst's payrollers. Whom
do they suspect? Mr.. Bryan is a re-
spectacle citizen, the candidate of a
great party for the highest office. Yet
it appears that among Mr.. Hearsts
select band of patriots his name has
become a kissing and an abomination
says the San Francisco Cali.
After the unhappy and announcement
Shepard had made his appeal this is
what happened, according to an impair
tal observer:
Instantly a crowd of delegates, among
them many in an ugly mood, closed in
and for d minute or two Shepard was
in actual danger.
Brust and Anneburg almost carried
him and fought their way foot by foot
along the passageway. John Daily, q
delegate from the Twenty fifth assem-
bly, district of New York city struck
viciously at Shepard's head with a
cane, and il the blow had not been in
tercepted might have seriously injured
him. Daily was showed down into a
seat and, escorted by the sergeant at
arms, Shepard was taken to the door
and told to leave the hall. He lost nc
time in obeying the Injunction.
During the confusion Chairman
Walsh strove desperately for order, but
without avail. When Shepard started
down the aisle he called anxiously:
Somebody protect that man."
He repeatedly begged the delegates to
keep quiet and remember that they were
gentlemen.
The plea, however, fell on deaf ears
until Shepard had left the hall.
The surprising and unexpected effect
OF hustling the delegate from Kansas
out of the presence was to convert the

Spectacular Campaign Is
Planned by the Socialists

Socialist ticket got 4o2,1B9 votes to
$50, $50 for the Prohibition, 1929 Tor
the Populist and 1882 for the Social
list Labor.
The large increase in the Socialist
vote and the scattering vote generally
was due chiefly to the nomination by
the Democratic party of "conserva-
tive" candidate. Many radical Demo-
Gratis undoubtedly supported Debs or
Watson in preference to Parker.
The Democratic popular vote fell
from $3.50, O16 in 1900 to 5,O7s,041 in 1904.
A portion Of that decrease was &C
counted for by the contraction of the
electorate in the southern sttaes whlch
followed the enforcement of restrict
i've suffrage laws. But the minor par
ties all profited by Judge Parker's
weakness as a vote getter.
The presidential election of 1903 VIII
show to some extent whether or not 1t
has in it any elements of stability and
permanence.
