PROSPERITY WEEK

I n TEN days Prosperity Week" will
be here, and all good citizens will
\ cheerfully aid the chamber of conf
merce committees in their Efforts to
promote the buying and boosting of
home products. The proposed plan has
already caused an increase in the de-
mand for homemade goods and there
is no doubt the purchase and use of
home products could be made custom
and then a habit. Prosperity week will
cause citizens to take a special interest
in the homemade goods for sale regu-
larly in all the stores.
It will cause them to realize that
manufacturing industries are in a
flourishing condition in Los Angeles,
and that the goods produced in this
city are not only equal to any in the
world, but in many instances are posi-
lively the best in the world. AS Mr..
Virgins says, it is only fair that our
own goods, made in Los Angeles, should
be preferred, even over articles of
EQUAL MERIT made by non-resi-
dents and shipped from afar. Los An
geles gets the benefit of every sale of
homemade article to a home Gus
toner. When an imported article is
sold it takes out of the city the money
value it represents. When 1t is han
died by a local dealer of course he gets
his profit (when there is any), but the
fact remains that the Los Angeles GUS
toner is paying for outside or foreign
labor, for outside or foreign machinery,
for outside or foreign profit and for
railroad freightage, as well as for the
intrinsic value of the article.
Other things being equal, including
quality home manufactures ought to
be able at once to undersell and out
value articles made in other parts
of the country or of the world. The
best kind of protection to home indus
tries is that which the citizen can give
by patronizing them and buying in
the home market home manufactures
for home use.

m HE latest statistics show 2S6,902
employees in the civil service of
the federal government, exclusive
of the consular and diplomatic service,
says the Springfield Republican. The
increasing employment of women has
led the department of commerce and
labor to prepare some figures relative
to the extent of their employment and
their comparative compensation. 1t was
difficult to obtain the facts in several
departments, and with these and the
Isthmian canal commission excluded
there remained a total of 1854 en-
ployes to be considered, 1908 of whom
are men and 1881 women. The pro-
portion of men to women employees
in Washington is 10 to 8, and
in the service outside of Washing
ton 25 to l. Both men and women
average higher pay at the capital
than outside of it, the average
for men being SITS in Washington
and $685. outside, and for women
1897 in washington and $766 outside,

ELKS

7 OS ANGELES, City of Festivals,
will entertain the E'-s next week.
AA Preparations have been made for
six nights celebration, which will
be characterized by many attractive
features. It will be successful. That
is a foregone conclusion. Everything
undertaken in Los Angeles by citi-
zens of the best city is successful.
What we would advise and wish would
be that measures should be taken to
give the festival and its success the
widest possible publicity. Local news
papers will, of course, give it a great
deal of attention. That is-all right
That is as it should be. But the Elks
should syndicate special stories about
their festival to all the leading news
papers of the country. Most of them
would be glad to have a specially writ
ten article, especially if it were illus
trated. This kind of publicity would
help not only the Elks, but the citi-
zens of Los Angeles. The Elks are
proud of their order, and with good
reason, for it is one of the most flour
ishing and most successful and most
useful in the United States. A stranger
in strange land no longer feels like
stranger when he sees the we'll
known badge of a brother Elk. Like
other organizations which are known
to the public chiefly by their social fea-
lures, the order of Elks does world
of quiet work for the benefit of So
ciety and of individuals all the year
round.
May the Elks' harvest festival yield
a plentiful harvest of good results, and
may the Elks and other societies
long continue to demonstrate that in
spite of cynicism and pessimism there
are, not away off in the remote fu-
ture, but right here and today, condi-
tions under which "man to =. the
world DER, can brothers be, and a.
that"

Orphan ASyIrIn1S Shelter
Hosts of FYiendIeSS Children

II ECENT statistics show that one
X hundred thousand American chill
~ dren are housed in orphan asy-
lums A magazine writer says: There
they are steam heated and shower
bathed and check aproned and dining
room rationed with bread baked by the
hundred loaves and meat bought by
the hundred pounds" says the San
Francisco Globe.
OF course the care bestowed upon
children in public institutions is far
better than no care at all, but the GUS
tom of herding hundreds and thou
sands of children in a great institution
is destructive of the sweet influences
that should belong to childhood. Every
child born into the world should have a
chance to develop it's individuality
without that RECOMMENDATION that char
acterizes all public institutions.
We observe that each hundred thou
sand of the population of New York
has 317 orphans. California comes next
with ninety uncared for children to
each 100000 of our population. The
ratio in both states is somewhat dimin-
ished by reason of the fact that there
are better ways of caring for children
than. sending them to public instttu-
tions A few states have discovered
those better ways which consist of
system of having children adopted by
reputable foster parents. The hospital
or asylum plan is as rigid as the regu-
lations of an army, but the home plan
is as cheerful and as conducive to
