Inspiring Example to State

they are too impatient to wait even for
the autumn frost to cover the middle
west and east with it's mantle of white.
There is a glamour and allurement
about this land of gold and promise
which can not be found elsewhere in
the United States. and for that reason
those who are able come here to pass
away the winter months.
Much of this colonist and tourist
travel will come to northern Califor-
MIA, and 1t behooves every town and
city to put it's ''house in order" that
favorable impression NAV be created
upon the minds of the visitors. AS an
example of what enterprise and boost
ing will do for community we need
only to point to what has been
achieved in Southern California, where
so many of the tourists delight to go
to spend their winter vacations.
The people of the southland have
created a veritable paradise out OF
climate, which has been their chief as
set. Northern California has more than
climate to offer as an inducement to
the tourist and the settler. but while
we have been blessed with valuable
and magnificent assets, we have been
lacking in that spirit OF enterprise
which results In the bringing to our
section of that class of people which
has built up in such a wonderful man
ner Southern California.

LOS ANGELES

n USINESS in Los Angeles is brisk
n in every department. CONNER
= cial property as we'll as residence
property is in demand. 1t is to be ex-
pected that property for business pur-
poses will be eagerly sought by pur-
chasers who are long-headedNen to
realize the inevitable appreciation in
values after the completion of San
Pedro harbor and the Panama canal
makes Los Angeles the greatest city In
the west.
For years Los Angeles has been
moving steadily to goal which is now
in sight Without losing the charm Of
the finest residential district in the
world she has proposed to become the
industrial manufacturing, importing
and exporting center of the far west.
Manufacturing and commercialism
cannot possibly destroy the delights Of
Los Angeles. There is plenty of room
for both utility and beauty. The order
of architecture is high. Even in the
districts where comparatively inexpen-
sive buildings are erected there is
nothing to suggest an eastern "shanty
town." The man of moderate means
can get more for his money in Los An
geles than anywhere else on earth.
The climate has been praised times
without number, and has never been
overpraised. The east is already con-
scious of fall. The problem Of winter
clothing is beginning to vex the man
with the slim purse and the big family.
And never was it more vexatious than
this year, for the purse is simmer than
ever. The question Of fuel must be
answered Unless an easterner lives
in a steam heated fiat and pays for
warmth when he pays his rent, he
knows he must have coal and wood
or he will be frozen to death. Or. If
he is not frozen, he will contract pneu-
monia. In the east thousands die from
pneumonia, the result of neglected
cold or of exposure to Indictment
weather. Lucky people of Los An
geles!
They never need to worry about arc
tics and furs and mufflers and ear
laps. They have so many blessings
that to be keenly conscious of them
would be too much to expect Still,
although they may not remember all
of their blessings all of the time. 1t is
a good thing to recall and recount some

ployers or employees who refuse to be
bound by them. Doubtless Mr.. Vein
stock, when he reaches that country,
will ascertain what those subject to
such laws think OF them. 1t is not easy
to get impartial reports from those
countries. and the testimony of Mr..
Weinstock will be valuable. The ma
jority of the reports which reach sus
are to the effect that there is much
dissatisfaction with the laws among
union men and an indisposition to sub
NIT to any award which they dislike.
There are-n means of ascertainnig the
facts in that far-off country, for al
most nothing reaches us which IL not
colored in favor of one side or the
other, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
! Mr.. Weinstock's proposition has
many points of resemblance to the Ca
madam law, which 1t was claimed would
be solution OF labor troubles, which
II does not seem to be. His proposals
also imply the subsection OF the funds
of unions to attachment. This is uni
versally opposed by American unions,
none of which seems willing to consent
to be placed under the pecuniary OBJ
legations and responsibility which en-
ployers cannot escape. There is still an
other difficulty which exists in all
countries, and that Is the presence of
a large number of agitators who. do
not desire industrial peace on any
terms and will not have it IL they
can help 1t. They exist in all coun-
tries, and are unfortunately able to
exert much influence. II Mr. Weinstock
in his travels can md q permanent
cure for all these evils the state can
very well afford to pay oil the ex-
penses of his journey and build a big
monument to him besides.

FORAKER

DY the elimination of Foraker from
n the Republican campaign, an
- active political career which is
noteworthy principally for what we
may call indebtedness has been ter
minated.
Standard Oil has drowned the politi-
cal ambitions of Foraker He is no
longer a desirable Republican cam
paigner. Years ago. when he had his
fight with the Mckinley wing of the
Republican party in Ohio, he narrowly
can party.
He was too picturesque and too fam
boyant in some of his methods to suit
the more adroit Republican generals.
To quote a well known and highly ex-
pressive Scotch phrase, Foraker was
mo cannie," and as the Republican
notices are Ca cannie," and Let not
your right hand know what your left
hand doeth, especially around about
campaign time, when the fat begins to
fry" he was certainly an undesirable
citizen" from the deeply conservative
Republican point of view.
Will all the old Ohio controversies
now be revived? Will the contending
factions of the Republican party, switch
temporarily seemed to be in agreement
under the magic spell of Hanna and
Mckinley, and then under the influence
of the lingering memories of those
great Ohioans, continued 80 agree for
awhile-will they now agree to dis
agree? Or has Foraker lost his in
f1uence and his following? There was
time when any action calculated to
embarrass Foraker would have been re-
sented as an insult by a great many
Buckeyes" And if the Republicans
are determined to bring forth fruits
meet for repentance, if they are deter
mined to roast or read out of the
party every one directly or indirectly
connected with big corporations or
trusts, what, oh what Is to become of
the grand old party? Between now
and election day it will dwindle, peak
and pine!
Well, when a certain class of men
fall out, says the proverb, honest men
come into their own. The chances for
the triumph of honest men at this cleo
ton are becoming brighter every day.

proverb, land it will prevail"

established connections and the border
questions of Algeria, was entitled to
leadership In Morocco. To this Kaiser
William objected in language which
was interpreted as meaning that Ger
many would go to war rather than sub
NIT to 1t. Then followed the Algeciras
conference, in which 1t was agreed that
all should have equal opportunity In
Morocco that order must be main
tanned there and that France and Spain
should be the active agents in execut-
ing the mandate of Europe" This
was not TO the kaiser's liking, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Then followed
the rebellion and attacks on the French
troops in Morocco. The attacks were
repealed but the rebellion succeeded.
France and Spain insist that Morocco
shall pay the cost of their fighting with
the Moroccan tribes, amounting to some
500 000, 900. The kaiser says that such
fine would be outrageous. This is the
same kaiser who seized the province of
Shantung, In China, besides very
large money indemnity, as recompense
for the murder of two missionaries. A
good many hundred F'renchmen were
killed by the Moroccans. To this the
French say that the kaiser should abide
by the Judgment OF the majority Of the
powers and that his open denounce~
ment of the policy agreed on is solely
for the purpose OF making German r1er-
chandise more popular in Morocco than
French merchandise or that of any
other power. Both French and Ger
mans are enraged, and If 1t We're not
for Europe there would be another
French and German war. And all the
goods to Morocco. And this is modern

n UR excellent citizen, Harris Wein-
ID stock, who Is spending year in
seeing the world, took with him
on his travels rowing commission
from the governor Of California to ac-
quire. at his own expense, all possible
information about strikes and lockouts
and the various means attempted or
possible for preventing them. His Gre
dentials will. of course. procure from
him watever assistance officials of the
countries visited can give, as well as
good standing with individuals and I'M
official bodies. Mr.. Weinstock has
about completed his studies In Europe,
and as the result of his Investigations
thus far Is led to favor law which
shall make Il q crime to begin a strike
or lockout without giving thirty days
notice to the state labor commissioner,
during which period the commissioner
shall conduct an official Investigation
through hoard upon which both par
ties may be represented If they will,
and which shall decide how 1t thinks
the dispute should be adjusted and give
the reasons therefor. AS we under
stand 1t, this award is not to bind
either party, the penalty applying only
to those who strike or lock out without
giving the required notice permitting g.
public investigation.
In course of his travels Mr.. Vein
stock will reach Australia and New
Zealand, where laws more or less SINH
lar have been in force for some years.
In New Zealand not only Is notice re-

TTHE Moroccans have rebelled against
the old sultan, Abdul Aziz, in the
II belief that he had been bought up
by Europeans, as he presumably was.
The people repudiate his bargains and
were parties to the Algeciras confer
ence to exercise any authority what
ever in Morocco. 1t was upon that
contention that Mulai Hafid succeeded
in dethroning his brother. And the
first thing required of him by the
powers Is to confirm all the agreements
by whose denunciation he obtained
power. If he does not agree Europe.
and apparently the United States, Will
hold him to be an outlaw, and Europe
may proceed to send armies and restore
Abdul Aziz to nominal authority, the
real authority being in Europe.
That is, IL Europe can agree. There
lies the trouble. No instance is known,
and 1t is believed that none has existed,
in which, when competing commercial
firms have agreed to work in harmony
in any market and have faithfully OBJ
served that agreement, none secretly
trying to overreach the other. AS
European governments have made such
a commercial agreement with regard to
Morocco, it must beNassumed that each
is trying to overreach the other. In
one thing all Europe and the United
States are agreed, and that Is that no
weak and misgoverned people can
necessarily do as they please about the
management of their own affairs but
must do, as regards trade matters,
about as the strong and well-governed
nations say. All being agreed as to
this point, western Europe recognized

GAMBLING

A S if to accentuate the great lesson
"a preached by that wonderfully
Al realistic play, "The Pit" which
many people of Los Angeles have seen,
there comes the news of big failure
in Chicago the scene of 1.-THE Pit" A
concern which during its twenty
months existence sold $1,250,O00 of pre-
ferred stock to people all over the
country at price to yield $1,500,000 or
more went into receivership. When
the receiver demanded the assets, he
got $S19.92 in cash and some engraved
certificates of stock in "allied and sub
sidiary companies" The concern, the
Mercantile Securities, was the second
in a chain of high finance corporations
devised by some ingenious persons
beaoring the firm name of Rhodes
Brothers.
The preferred stock purchasers were
told the company was to be an agency
for the sale of Central Life Securities
company stock and that the proceeds
were to be used to establish great
bank in Chicago. Although the pre-
ferred stock was issued at par value
of $40, much of it was sold at $3.50,
$14 and even more. If we probe a
case of this kind, which are the more
to blame, the imaginative people who
promoted the stock, or the imaginative
people who bought it? They were
equally the victims of a desire to &C
quire riches quickly, without giving
labor in return for money. 1t is odd
that as soon as a certain zone Of
human impulse is entered the result is
perfervid desire to shirk hard work,
and to accumulate as much money as
if one had worked unusually hard.
The moral effect of fortunes made
quickly is not good. Companies which
owe their existence to the spirit of
speculation are nothing more nor less
than gambling concerns. But IL there
were no people eager to take chances,
there would be no gambling concerns.
Speculation owes its success to one of
the weaknesses of human nature. If
the harsh word gambling" were used
instead of some of the euphemistic
business terms now employed, it might
have some moral effect.
