ART VS.. VULGARITY

f" AMILTON w. MABIE in "The
I'll Printing Art" discusses the i'm
II mediate need of fine printing. In
his article he says: "a glance at the
so called comic supplements of the
Sunday editions of great number of
American newspapers fills the lover of
his kind with something akin to de-
spair. These sheets have one artistic
quality: every part finds its place in a
perfect harmony, but it is harmony of
vulgarity. The idea, if there is one, is
cheap and often demoralizing; the
drawing is so elementary that an uned-
ucated child may not only understand
but execute it; the coloring glares at
the innocent reader like nightmare,
and the printing is so bad that it
leaves nothing to the imagination"
We believe public taste will assist in
the reform of the cheap and gaudy
vulgarity complained of. AS soon as
public taste finds something better it
win begin to demand something better.
We think the art supplement pub
lished by Los Angeles Herald is big
ger step toward pictorial reform than
any which has been taken by any
newspaper in the United States. Our
weekly art gallery is elevating, educa-
tional, satisfying and gratifying; yet
its pages show no wizardry. They only
exemplify the convincing magic of the
simpler forms of art. The camera, the
engraving room and good taste are re-
sponsible for the result.
The policy of The Herald is one of con-
stant improvement, constant progress,
always along the lines of whatsoever
things are true. lovely and Of good re-
port.
That we agree with DR.. Mabie and
other critics who are elamoring for i'm
provement in the Sunday papers by
the substitution of art for vulgarity we
are demonstrating in a practical man
ner

ELKS

H OS ANGELES, interested in the
success of the meeting of the
II grand lodge of Elks next year, is
doing all in its power to make the Elks
Harvest Festival a financial triumph.
It was a happy thought to prepare this
forerunner feast. 1t helps to advertise
Los Angeles, and also helps to adver-
tise the greater show which will ad-
vertise Los Angeles, and the combi-
nation boost is one of the greatest and
most effective which could be devised.
The Blks are loyalty appreciative Of
support and hospitality. AT the Har-
vest Festival and the grand lodge they
viii work for the Elks, of course, but
they will not forget to work also for
Los Angeles. and their work for this
city will be national in character. AS
we are all we'll aware, the Elks, be-
sides adding to the gayety and good
nature of the American nation, have
another mission in life-a great. benev-
olent mission. They are protectors of
the poor, friends of those who need
friendship, helpers of those who need
help.
All organizations like that Of the
FIks I'LL most useful places in the pres
ent order Of society. Indeed, unless We
should make up our minds to try a
new social order modelled on the orig
inal plans and rules of Americanism,
with businesslike provision for the
greatest good of the greatest number.
and with equal opportunities for all
ana special privileges for none, these
benevolent and protective organizations
are absolutely necessary.

RATS

q TRANCE necessities or emergencies
~ produce strange humans" The
~ hour of need comes, and the man
comes with it. When California is
beginning to be nervous over what
might possibly become a rat problem,
along comes the champion rat catcher
of all creation, to whom the capture
and elimination Of a few thousand of
the wise little pests is mere bagatelle.
He catches them alive, without the as
sistance of dog or cat. Indeed, he says
dogs and cats are afraid of rats.
Either dog or cat is almost useless
when it comes to rats in any number"
he declares. "a dozen rats will fright
en- a cat into fits, and a dog will howl
with terror If shut in a room where
there are a score or so of rats This
is libel on dog and cat, and even If
true, "the greater the truth the greater
the libel" If the professor of rodenti-
eide had said that some dogs and some
cats are afraid of rats, no one in his
audience would have disputed the as
sertion. But, after all, the main point
is that the pre-eminence of man has
been established in another field, and
when we say man we mean man. We
do not think woman will dispute with
the lord of creation his ability to catch
rats.
A woman rat catcher is unimagin-
able, and therefore indescribable. Prof.
Dorney is anxious to destroy all the
rats in California, and we think he
should be allowed to crafty his am
bition. Compared with Prof. Dorney,
the Pied Piper of Hamelin as a rat
exterminator was only a second rater.

then points out that as industry de-
veloped, mans superior power of or
ganization, coupled with his invention
of machinery, rendered woman's work
and woman herself largely superfiuous.
She ceased to hold the Indispensable
and powerful position that the Indian
squaw possessed.
Today the economic services that
woman has to offer can be obtained
far better, by machine and male help,
outside the home. The bachelor with
small income is much better attended
to In every way than his married
brother.
This has nothing to do with the
franchise, for it depends exclusively
on the economic organization, which
has rendered the domestic woman's
services, and the woman herself, nom
essential.
But woman, and especially woman
in her reform clubs, will not face the
problem. 1t appalls her. She shrugs
her shoulders submissively and is con
tent to dwell, a dependent, in a dolls
house." H. F. CRADDOCK.

AUTOMOBILES

wT IGHLY satisfactory as well as
successful was the automobile
II race from Los Angeles to Phoe-
nix. BECAUSE it proved convincingly the
great advancement which has been
made in the practical art of motoring
and showed that beyond reasonable
doubt the automobile is not a big ex-
pensfve toy, but a most useful addi-
ton to the equipment of modern civili-
cation,
These wonderful modern automobiles
can make most difficult journeys and
can conquer routes which baffled man.
kind by their natural difficulties as
well as by their length. In a great
emergency, when speedy and safe
TRANSFORMATION was desirable, the motor

their value to humanity is inestimable
inasmuch as they have conquered the
desert and have enabled men to make
in q few days journeys which ordinar-
ny would occupy weeks. Los Angeles
probably leads the world in automo-
,htles and automobiling. The firms now
caged in the manufacture Of the

In proportion to the total number Of
the population, Los Angeles has the
biggest reading public in the United
scribers per cent of population in this
city than in any other. The reading
habit is the best that anyone can ac-
quire, and we hope large number of
the library patrons will not only con-
tinue to sample the book shelves, but
will remember that in books, maga-
zines and newspapers. as in other forms
of industry, they should buy and boost
