WANTS MoToRcYcLIsTs FORCED
TO MUFFLE THEIR MACHINES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-[Editor
Herald: Los Angeles has many good
ordinances that other cities might fol-
low with benefit, but it also requires
some that other places have in vogue
that would be hailed with satisfaction
by the community in general. One in
particular that would undoubtedly be
approved is to make an ordinance
whereby the dreadful, repulsive noise
made by motorcycles would be elm
mated. which at present is enough to
drive a nervous person to an insane
asylum.
In san Francisco, Oakland Portland,
Seattle and other coast cities riders OF
motorcycles are compelled to use a
simuffier" upon their machines, so
women and children are not frightened
To death and men have their nerves
shattered so that it makes them beat
their wives.
Another ordinance in connection with
BICYCLES and motorcycles that is in
vogue in up-to-date cities is: That all
bicycles of every nature shall have a
light upon them when in use after
dark. No one owning bicycle should
object to either one of the ordinances
If adopted by the council, and the pub
lic / am sure, would heartily indorse
the action Of the city fathers.

country like Turkey in Europe, in
which a conquering but alien and mi

lection the descendants of the con-
quered people, which had itself been
an alien and conquering race some
centuries before. The Young Turks
are appealing in what reads like
pure spirit of patriotism to their COM
patriots of all races and to Christians
and Mohammedans alike. to sink all
dlfrerences and heartily unite to build
up strong Turkish empire, which

wonders If it can be done. If it can

O deputation has been sent to the
western capitals to Induce" some peo-
pie Of those countries to surrender
some very valuable Concessions
which they have on the ground that
they were obtained by brazen and ont
rageous bribery. 1t is to be feared
that If the Young Turks start ont in
that fashion western Europe will con-
slider their government a failure. AS
for parliamentary government in Per-
STA at this distance the idea seems gro
tesque. Northern Persia is virtually
in the control of brigands and a for
mer brigand chief seems to be the
leader in the agitation for a "free gov

be more happy and prosperous under
a popular government than under

The worst despotism of all is the des-

SHOWS ANTI-sUFFRAGIsTS'
ARGUMENTS BADLY MIXED

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-LEd1tor
Herald: Though granting woman her
right to vote, yet 1 find it soothing to
my manly complacency to at least af-
feet to believe that by sheer merit my
own sex would still lead for a long
time to come. Woman, poor thing
(more manly complacency), has been so
"kept back she will be long catch
ing up.
Now, why cannot Homo" "T. K.
CT and the rest leave one in the calm
enjoyment of the aforesaid M. z. IN
stead of making such poor display
in face of the enem- OF woman, poor
thing" 1 mean that ones NJ. G. be-
comes positively "wabbly at the knees"
with a horrible and insidious misgiv-
ing lest woman's inferiority should
prove, after all, delusion, with a wish
as father to the thought.
Anti-suffragists' arguments are GER
tainly mixed lot" to be cited as ex-
amples of consistency: Woman Is
queen of the home-there let her reign
and stay" they cry ad nauseum; there
fore when one of them, Homo" to wit,
declares that 1.-The one who presides
over the home naturally should preside
in the larger organization, the govern
ment," he should be abiding to the
women. But no, he means the men. He
goes on to claim that the majority Of
men do not 'rule tyrannically' in the
home. Now when he draws his parallel
of mans right to "preside" in the
government because he ''presides" In
the home, 1, as a person of imagina-
ton, become ObSessed with mental
image of Homo presiding in the
family domicile, with his women folk
locked outside, as they are locked out
of the legislatures and polling booths.
Something rotten with that parallel
anyhow.
His remark that at casts reflection
upon American manhood to say we
cannot legislate equally for both sexes"
is sheer balderdash. We cannot do
equal justice among our own sex even.

terms of this controversy can only
mean a woman with VOTE, and he
says his cry is mo Whip" in the hands

would take the vote away from man

noPULAR government through
elected parliaments and minis
= tries in those parliaments is at
last making its way into the regions
which until within the lifetime of the
present generation have had no con-
ception of government except that of
an absolute despot. The principle is
firmly established in Japan and has
become a matter of earnest promotion
in China. The myriads of India, I'M
der the leadership of the educated
classes, are beginning to demand some
voice in their own government, hope
less as such an aspiration seems to
be in a population containing elements
so antagonistic as the Mohammedans
and Buddhists of India and where the
caste lines among the Hindoos seem
to be drawn as vigorously as ever,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
At the other extremity of Asia prog
ress is far more rapid. Since the mid
die of the last century actual parlia-
mentary government has spread from
western Europe until it covers the
whole continent, and by the success
Of the Young Turk movement has
crossed the Bosporus and is reach
ing out to the borders of Persia, whose
shah is now engaged in murderous
contest with a portion of his subjects
who demanded a parliament and sup
posed that they had one. For the
present parliamentary government
seems assured in Turkey and the great
powers are carefully getting out of the
way and giving the new government
free play to see what it can do in the
troubled districts of Macedonia.
And there lies the crux of the whole
business. Statesmen of the world are
wondering what sort of government

INSULT TO BANKERS

TN HIS criticism of the Democratic
plan to guarantee deposits in ma
a tional banks, Mr.. Taft made this
sweeping statement:
IF the banker were relieved of the
responsibility to and the fear of his
depositors, the TENDENCY WOULD
BE TO INDUCE EXPLOITATION.
MANIPULATION AND THE USE OF
ASSETS OF BANKS IN A SPECU-
LATIvE WAY. IT WOULD PRO
NOTE SPECULATION AT THE Elk
PENSE OF HIS FELLOW BANK
ERS, and that ultimately means at
the expense of the depositors. Any
proposition as to the amount of tax
that should be assessed as based upon
the present rate of loss is on an err
roneous basis, as THE DANGER OF
LOSS OF DEPOSITS is INCREASED
VASTLY BY THE PROPOSED SYS-
TEN, so that the percentage of the
tax would have to be greatly in
creased"
We have all realized long ere now
that Mr.. Taft is an incautious talxer,
and that some of the most strenuous
portions of his recent life have been
devoted to the explanation or repudi-
alton of mischief making utterances.
Owing to the unhappy tendency of
the candidate to be precipitate in
speech and unsatisfactory in explana-
ton, the Republican campaign man
ayers would fain have imposed clo-
ture on the man who slandered the
memory of General Grant and made
foolish and irreverent answer to a
plain social question. Two such
breaks were enough to Burchardize
him; but now, eluding the vigilance
Of his watchers. he has made a third,
which will ALLEVIATE from him the co.
TEEN of every self-respecting banker
in the United States.
According to Mr.. Taft. the entire
banking class is DISHONEST, and
must be viewed with suspicion and
dealt with in spirit of national dis
trust and self-protection. He shows
most unhealthy and unpleasant at
titude of mind toward one of the most
highly respected and most useful pro-
fessions In the country when he says,
almost in so many words, that all
bankers are suspects and would plunge
into reckless speculation with other
peoples money "if relieved Of the re-
sponslbility to and the fear of de-
positors." In taking for granted that
the guaranty of deposits would be an
incentive to the bankers to yield to
the criminal tendencies of which the
Republican candidate accuses all of
them-he made no exception-Mr. Taft
either willfully or stupidity misunder-
stands the entire purport and pur-
pose Of the proposed guaranty.
Surely a reasonable insurance of the
banked funds of the people is not an
incentive to crime on the part of the
financial fiduciary agents of the peo-
pie. YET that it is such an incentive
Is exactly what the remarkable Taft
believes and would have others believe,
If his words mean anything, and If he
is not merely a hitherto unsupported
sufferer from incipient clamormania.

turn UP. Citizens who would not ex-
change their condition of hopeful agog-
ness for acres of square meals. Not
even for very wilderness of beef
steaks and a jungle Of other victuals
would they abandon their Republican
great expectations.
AS the immortal author of Ten
Nights in a Village Churchyard" sings
In his world renowned ballad, "The
Gentle Con Man

They're waiting In the gloam,
They're waiting, waiting, patientlee,
It'll the COWS come home.
Republican orators can praise the
precocity of two million American
children from IL to IA years OF age,
who were so enterprising that, rather
than be burden on their parents and
take up the time of the school teacher,
they went to work for philanthropists
who own mines, mills and furnace fac
tories; and the orators should not for
get to dwell on the enthusiastic alacrity
with which dear, good Republican
philanthropists provided employment
for all the children in the kindness Of
their hearts, even going so far as TO
discharge grownup people in order to
make room for the infants. Here was
benevolence for you! Here was Chris
tian charity!
Great is the occasion. Let the Re-
publican orators rise to 1t. Inspired by
the magnificent and sky scraping rhe-
toric of the brainy Taft, let them go to

REASONS WHY CITY SHOULD
HAVE FEWER ELECTIONS

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 26.-[Editor
Herald: We have recently had a
primary election by the politicians and
the powers that be, costing the city,
the taxpayers, about $4,000. Now petit
tions are being circulated to call an
election on the city charter amend
ments; also other petitions on dance
halls. 1 want to call the attention of
the people, the taxpayers and the city
councilmen to the fact that so many
special elections are all wrong and use
less. Too much money Is wasted, while
the wages of day laborers who work
for the city are being cut down to 81 n
day. No special election should be
called oftener than at least three
months. All should be at least three
months apart. Several things could be
voted on at the same time. Our city
charter should be so amended as to pre-
vent SO many special elections so close
together at so much expense The
tents and voting booths are taken down
and put up again in a. few days or
weeks at least. / do not know how
many special elections have been called
in the last twelve months. Perhaps our
councilmen can tell-they who are
drawing good pay and taking vacations
when they want to-a month at q time
and drawing their pay all the time,
holidays and all, but when the poor
laDOrerS want mondays tHSy must AOSN
the time and the pay.
The councilmen are all the TINS

for their friends at big salaries. They
all get holidays and pay by the MONTH
The city council is all the time demand
ing more money, more taxes, hore

meet all the demands. Is this Dust
ness administration? 1t Is poor pusl-
ness to squander the peoples money.
Ten special elections at $4,000 each In
one year is 100000. The city business
should be conducted by those in author
ity on the same principles that success
full men manage their own private pus-
mess. The same economy used, SO as

INDUSTRIES

HITH the certainty of splendid
w harbor at San Pedro and the
prospect of a plentiful water
supply from Owens river, all the lacks
which according to critics must be
supplied before Los Angeles could Le-
come a great manufacturing and in
dustrial center have been provided for.
We may look forward to the future
with confidence. We can ship goods by
pletion of the Panama canal there will
be an all-water route eastward as well
as westward.
With the manufactures of Los Ange-
les we can supply the markets of the
United States or of the world. We
have arrived at the greatest era of
industrial development in the history
of the city. Opportunity waits for all
who will take advantage of it. Every
effort should be made to induce cap
italists to come to Los Angeles for in
dustria1 investments, and local business
men who are enterprising enough to
establish industrial plants and either
create or give an impetus to industries
which are essentially Californian, YER
lily will reap their reward.
There are many industries which
seem to be obvious. Visitors to Los
Angeles are always surprised because
they do not find more fruit preserving
and pickle factories, and cannot ur-
derstand why there are not marmalade
factories in or near Los Angeles, and
why much of the marmalade used in
the United States is imported from an
out OF the way city in Scotland, where
there is not an orange tree. and never
will be unless there is surprising
change of climate.
We believe in the Industrial future Of
Los Angeles. We believe this city will
be one OF the greatest Industrial centers
of North America. 1t cannot help
reaching that pre-eminence If it is sup
Piled with manufacturing plants and
with facilities for handling the "obvi-
Gus industries which abound in Cali
fcrnia, the raw material for which can
be found and shipped to factories with
out trouble.
