RECKLESS BIOYOLISTS.

The reckless riding of bicyclistS or

n. w. O'MELVENY MAN
WHO HAS MADE MARK

Henry w. O'Melveny was introduced
as man who had made his mark in
Los Angeles. and, prefacing his re-
marks with a story, he said:
Since that day in September, 1901,
when the assassin's bullet closed the
life on this earth of the deeply loved
Mckinley down to the present moment
one cannot hear or utter the words,
"the president" without there coming
to the mind the name and features of
Theodore Roosevelt. And, while it
might be pleasant and perhaps instruc-
tive to remind ourselves of the posi-
ton in our government of the Office of
the president, and to touch upon the
names of the immortalS who have oc-
cupied that place, yet a seemingly all
compelling force puts them aside as
distractions. in the face of the inf1u-
ence yelling out from the life and
deeds of the present occupant of the
presidential chair.
In the brief time at my disposal l
shall give you one lesson believe can
be drawn from his life. You must
know that ideas, more than aims con-
quer the world The Man of Sorrows
in the garden of Gethsemane, where
we could never picture the blossoming
of roses or the murmurous hum of
summer bees, but only the somber
garden walks, and one kneeling among
the olives" represented an idea which
has held the civilized world in subju-
cation for twenty centuries.
Mahomet, preaching the unity of
God, filed the denizens of the sun
burnt deserts of Arabia with an idea
which still beats with equal pulse from
the Golden Horn of the Bosporus,
through the jungles Of darkest Africa

admiral of our ship of state, who has
controlled her helm on q SeVen-year
cruise. He too has passed through the
wintry waters of a Northern Atlantic,
has stopped briefly at the Delectable
Isles, and has felt the gentle pulsations
of a tropic sea. He has carried her
safely through the straits of Magellan,
is now headed north, homeward bound.
and will soon be on the last leg of his
course. His craftsmanship has not been
directed against unoffending targets,
but from the dismantled hulks of the
enemies of his country will the record
be calculated. His chart, the constitu-
tion and laws Of his country; his COM
pass needle always pointed to the north
star of right. Under every sky, in ev-
cry cline, on every sea, and blow which
way the wind listeth he has met every
enemy joyously and more than half
way His crew, the whole American
common people, who are so filled with
confidence in his patriotism that they
would storm the forts of hell if he but
led the way.
When the swift descending suns roll
the call of but a few more months, he
will have reached the home port, and
by the force of the unwritten law he
will have to GO on the retired list. He
will then find he will be received by the
American people with the same deep
affection, the same unyielding loyalty
and the same sincere, genuine, heartfelt
hospitality that we tender here and now
tonight to all the gallant officers of the
battleShip fleet.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-21

had it not been for Theodore Roosevelt
His has been the voice which aroused
the public conscience, his the warning
note. But not content with that, he
has used all the force at his command
to check and overthrow every departure
from our American idea. Slavery be-
fore the war was an instance Of special
privilege. 1t cost countless treasure
and many lives to root it from the land.
Since the war this claim of special priv
ilege has reappeared, has made accel-
Grated growth, but in an entirely dif-
ferent form. This country cannot exist
half slave and half free, whether that
slavery is manifest by the color line, or
manifest in unequal privileges in the
few over the many. And 1t is to the
deathless glory of Roosevelt that, with
out the firing of shot and without the
life of a man, he has waged as unceaS-
ing, relentless and tenacious warfare
against the un-American claim as
Grant waged against Lee around Rich
mond
The lesson he teaches is this: Wheth-
er in command of the finest battleship
a generous nation can construct, one
whose armor belt :s IL place. whose
guns are the heaviest, and worked with
the most ingenious mechanism, whose
r -gazines are full of the best ammuni-
ton modern science ever invented, with
turrets for protection, telephone for
communication, with quarters elabo-
rately furnished every convenience and
comfort that can be devised, you will
still fight your enemy, be he within or
without your country, with the same
valor, the same desperation, the same
determination as did Paul Jones in 1878,
when he lashed his little sloop to the
Serapis and with guns touching guns,
fired broadside after broadside and won
the deathless victory for that same flag
which flies at your mast.
That political developments may arise
within the nation as threatening to its
safety as a declaration of war by for
eign foe. That a man does not have TO
be in uniform to fight for his country,
but must do it every day in the COM
mon walks Of life. That these danger
Gus tendencies can be put down, these
new political principles solved, by ap-
plying to them the common ordinary
virtues of courage, patience, persever-
ance, self-sacrifice, justice and honesty,
THAI the spirit of '76 must animate the
spirit of 1906, and every other year OF
the twentieth century, both In peace
and in war. That our vast industrial
growth must be and should be contln-
ued, but it must be founded on the
basic principles upon which this gov
ernment was established.
So, then, here's health to the high
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-21

tions to our population from foreign
lands; we have opened up a continent;
means of transportation have been i'm
proved and multiplied. These with a
thousand other changed conditions
could not help but have their infiu-
ence on the national character In the
human body there is constant inter-
play of influence of body on mind and
mind on body. In the body polite of
a nation there is constant interplay
of influence between the physical we'll
being of the nation and the spiritual
ideas of that nation. These changed
conditions I have referred to engen-
dered new political problems, such as
the founders of our government never
dreamed of. It will be noted, too, that
these changes were all in the line of
increased wealth. 1t may be hard in
deed to stand adversely, but it is still
harder to withstand the insidious at
tacks of too much prosperity. In this
headlong rush for the supposed ad-
Vantages of materialism are we not
In danger of losing faith in our Amer
lean idea of justice, common honesty
and the equality of every man under
the law?
Labor for Years
To illustrate by example: Can you
not recall numberless instances within
the last ten years of a man who in the
days of his young manhood married
the girl of his choice? Beginning in
poverty, together they have passed
down the avenue of the years, he
working and building and gaining. and
all the time she his faithful helpmeet
and companion. After years he has
attained unto riches he dreamed not
of. Then, by some strange metamor-
phosis in character, he casts his wife
aside to take on the supposed pleas
ures offered by the companionship of,
say, a chorus girl. Now, is there any
danger that the American people,
grown wealthy beyond their expecta-
tions, will divorce themselves from the
homely virtues and ideals upon which
this nation was founded, and under
which alone it has and can flourish. to
take on the supposed pleasures of the
drab Materialism? This query has
been floating in the minds Of men for
years.
Were these men and combinations OF
men so rich and powerful as to be be-
yond the law? Were they using that
power under the law or were they abus-
ing it by encroaching on the equal
rights of every citizen? Were they low
ers of their country, or were they, i'm
their seIfishness, willing to sacrifice
their country for private gain? These
matters have been discussed for years
and still might have been slumbering

SAILORS ATTEND
GREAT BARBECUE
ENJOY FLAVOR OF SPANISH
DISHES
RESPOND WITH ALACRITY TO
REQUEST TO MARCH
But Few Persons on Hand to Watch
Line Wend Its Way Down
Figueroa Street to
Park

Ct EATED around the long tables in
~ the Chutes grounds yesterday
~ noon $500 sailors partook of
barbecued meat banquet such as many
of them had never tasted before. Chile
con carne and chile sauces added a
Spanish flavor to the repast, and at its
conclusion every one of the geusts re-
sponded with alacrity to the request
beside each plate-that they form in
line and march to the wild west show
at Agricultural park.
Nearly all the sailors on shore leave
attended the boxing performances in
the Chutes baseball inclosure, and as
soon as the bout between Lulinski and
Myers for the championship of the
navy was completed they formed in
line behind the band and marched
four abreast into the Chutes proper.
With hats off, they stood at attention
while Miss Enid Daniels and one of
their own number pulled the national
colors to the top of the flag pole and
not until the strains OF "Old Glory"
PLAYED by the Catalina band, had died
away did they relax. Then, with a
cheer for Miss Daniels and another for
Los Angeles, they went to work con-
suming the delicacies before them.
AL Levy superintended the cooking
of the food and watched carefully over
every detail. Members of the Woman's
Relief Corps and their friends acted as
Mattresses and the heavier dishes
were brought to them from the ovens
by men. The menu included. besides
the barbecued meat, chile con carne,
friioles, soda waters, coffee, lemonade,
chile sauces and French and Boston
brown bread.
After the repast every man present
responded to the request to march to
Agricultural park, and the long line
formed Immediately, with officers and
the band at it's head. Members OF the
Vauuero club acted as an informal es-
cort, and the parade wended its way
out Washington street to Figueroa-
thence to Jefferson. to Wesley avenue
and into the park.
Chairman Flint of the entertainment
committee was discouraged with the
crowds in attendance on the line of
march. after all the insisting that
there be a parade and our efforts to
get the sailors to march, the turnout
of citizens was unusually discourag-
ing" said Flint. 9 mot moro than 125
persons lined the sidewalks to watch
the sailors go by, and the officers In
particular felt this to be dfscourte-
Gus act
1.-THE parade will be repeated to-
morrow, and we hope there will be a
larger attendance than the opening
march called out The sailors feel it
more than any one, and in justice to
our hospitable intentions we should
greet their efforts to entertain with
more spirit"
