A HEALTHY GROWTH

THE fact that about two-thirds of
the latest edition of the city char
Il ter of Los Angeles have been sent
to various other cities, at the request of
prominent officials of such cities. is q
matter of moment. In the majority Of
these cases it has been made plain that
the specific features of our own charter
which were sought for study are those
bearing upon those three admirable
provisions guaranteeing a fair degree
of popular government-the initiative,
the referendum and the recall.
Los Angeles was the pioneer among
the larger American cities in adopting
these measures. So widely has the idea
spread and SO confident have the people
become that direct legislation and the
recall have grown to be essentials to
good government that nearly every city
Of any consequence in the state of Cali
fornia already has adopted them as part
Of it's scheme of government.
The example set by Los Angeles is
being followed, with slight modifica-
lions as to detail. by other cities Of inn
portance. The Des Moines plan, too, is
winning advocates wherever the idea is
understood. There is little doubt that
within a few years the people Of nearly
every city in the Union will be able to
initiate legislation on their own &C
count, regardless of the inclination of
their legislative bodies. During the
past five or six years no city charter in
America has been revised, so far as we
are able to learn, without its having
had incorporated in it some feature Of
the plan adopted in Los Angeles. From
one end OF the country to the other the
impression is gaining ground that with
out the possibility of direct legislation
popular government will remain in the
future as it has been in the pasta
farce

UNBALANCED?

" HERE is no more ground for war
scare over the Japanese fortif1ca-
Il ton OF the Island of Formosa
than there is over the American forth
fcation of Point Firmin. Japan has as
much right to fortify any of her terri
tory as the United States has to erect
Notifications at any point on our coast.
Now that some fool editor has started
another lot of absurd war talk just
because Japan proposes to afford some
protection to one of her possessions we
may come to a better understanding OF
the japanese spirit, so freely COM
mented upon in the American press
during the days when this country was
on the point of dispatching it's fleet OF
warships to the Pacific.
There is just as much of menace in
one act as there is in the other, and
there is no menace in either.
This is a good time for the editors OF
the irresponsible portion of the Ameri-
can press to take few days off to en-
able them to put their minds once more
on an even keel.

HEAVY SHEDDING
SUFFRAGETTE REPARTEE

TN New York the suffragettes' meet
ings were much the same as those
u in London. There must have been
to Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson something
familiar in the scene at Madison Square
when men in the audience interrupted
her remarks with cries of mo petticoat
government for the United States!"
Standing beneath a huge yellow banner
upon which the slogan Votes for
women" was inscribed in black letters.
Mrs. Borrman Wells was making the
opening speech when man interrupted
her with:
What would you do with vote if
you had it. Take 1t home and put it
in pie?"
Selling upon the mans foreign ac-
cent, quick as a flash the woman re-
Piled:
''If you were a naturalized citizen and
had a vote you would probably deliver
it to a heller who would take 1t to
Albany and make hash Of it,
If this had occurred in California the
retort Of the sharp witted suffragette
would have probably been a reference
to the railway machine and the sausage
it makes of votes of men.

soUNDER THAN EVER


THE New York Evening Post re-
Gently printed a number of ar
a ticles from correspondents in vari-
Gus important Industrial eenters of the
United States dealing with the financial
and industrial outlook for 1908. In it's
editorial review of the facts set forth
in these letters that paper states that
the salient fact in the communica-
lions. not only from the west and south,
but from a number of eastern cities, is
their insistence on the strong showing.
made both by banks and by Industrial
enterprises, in the face of the recent
collapse of credit. This note is struck
in the letters from cities as far apart as
Boston and San Francisco. Pittsburg,
while admitting the severity and prob
ably severe after-consequences of the
position of the basic steel and iron In
dustry today than it was able to make
even in the relatively insignificant
financial reaction of 1903. The agricu1-
tural west expresses confidence in it's
own resources during the period OF re-
as far removed as possible from the
despairing, angry and dangerous mood
of the same section in the panic of 1893.
Practically all these various witnesses
voice the opinion that a check to the
extravagant industrial boom of 1906
was timely, and that even If the reverse
is a severe one, the country win in the
end be better off for it."
The analytical letters received from
the Old World indicate that Europe
shows itself even more bewildered about
America than is this country itself.
But this is not surprising. London
nurses its grievance for our raid on
the Bank of England's gold.' Paris,
with some show of irritation, defends
it's refusal to yield to the opportunities
of American bankers. Berlin, says the
reviewer in the Post, Understands us
better; yet, perhaps for that very rea-
son, has to confess its radical misjudg-
ment, at the time, of events of last
October. What is of definite value,
quite aside from judgment of the Amer
lean outlook. is the sober Judgment Of
Berlin as to what financial Germany,
where serious trouble was looked for
throughout the autumn, actually has
ahead of it."

MAKE THEM CLEAN UP

ANE of the most practical methods
of dealing with the Asiatic ques-
" ton on the Pacific coast is that
recently adopted by the city Of Port
land, Ore. Portland proposes to compel
the Asiatic Inhabitants of that city 10
keep TIN nselves and their homes and
surroundings clean and healthful This
is a measure which should be adopted
by every other city on the Pacific coast.
One of the most grave rnenaces of the
Asiatic on our shores has been in the
insanitary condition of his surround
ings, as a rule. While there has not
been so good a ground of complaint in
this direction in Los Angeles as in some
other coast cities, conditions here have
not been all that may be desired. The
Chinese and the japanese should be
compelled TO live like white persons,
especially those who live in the cities.
In no other part of any coast city is
there to be smelIed such variety of
odors as those emanating from certain
corners of the Chinese quarters in such
cities as San Francisco before the flre)
and Portland.
Filth and disease go hand in hand.
II the Asiatics live in filth they GER
tainly should be compelled to "ciean
up.s we cannot afford to take any
chances with them in this direction.

Declares Census Bureau
rs Rotten with GRAFT

than 60 900 enumerators and supervisors
will be wanted in the field. About $1,000
government offices to be distributed, all
within a few months. Too much of a
temptation, that for the politicians. Did
Hon. Carroll d. Wright or anyone else
suppose the bosses would let such prize
slip through their fingers? Is the bureau

ators from civil service lists? Not a bit
Of it The appointments are to be made,
practically by the local party managers,

are to be awarded to the small fry party

Wrights word that it will cost the gov
eminent 49, 900 In wasted money, and
we know by experience that the work
will be vltiated by faults and falsehoods;
but that makes no whit of difference.
The honorable gentlemen who manage
these matters for us are wanting these
65 900 offices. They need them In their
business, and probably, as a matter of
fact, the places have already been par
celed out or promised in every 'deestrict'

to be turned by the insertion in the APP

placed but significant, to tho effect that
all appointments are to be made by the

that the president and the senate will

Effect OF Sulphur
Upon Fresh Fruit

of familiarity with the real conditions of
dried fruit culture, at least ON the Pa
eific coast. For, to compel the grower
to abandon sun drying and substitute
coil drying therefor, would be TO render
the growing of apricots and peaches SO
hopelessly Improbable as to drive those
who now make their living out of the
production of these fruits into other live
llhoods. In the San Joaquin valley alone.
1t is said, the loss to the growers would
approximate some five millions of dollars.
Here in the Santa Clara valley 1t would
run into a vast sum, so great, in fact,
that In all probability growers would
pull their trees and put other varieties
in their place.
If a moderate use Of sulphur preserves
the fruit without making 1t deleterious in
the consumer. what can be the purpose
of abloshing it? If it prevents fermenta-
ton and decay during drying, and pre-
serves the natural color, why not let its
use continue under perhaps closer in
spection than formerly? Mr.. Wiley mere
ly asserts that the use of sulphurous
acids and sulphites adds nothing to the
flavor of the fruit while at the same
time they render 1t both less palatable
and less healthful. He Offers no proof
of this statement. and besides, must meet
the auctions of other chemists who are
equally positive that the small amount of
sulphur used by the grower tdll nave ho
bad effect on the fruit.
That Mr.. Wiley agrees tn; I the change
could not be made in a year or two, de-
sirable as the suppression of sulphur
may be, is cheering, for il reasonable
period is allowed the producers to present
their case before the proper authorities
there is little doubt that their showing
will convince the department of aericul-
ture of the harmlessness of their methods.

CLEAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
THE STATE OF LINCOLN

HHE Albuquerque Journal, which is
by all odds the best representative
of public opinion in the territory
of New Mexico, makes an extended and
well considered argument in behalf of
naming the proposed new state to be
erected possibly out of the territory
''Lincoln." The Journal apprehends that
there is too much that is Objectionable
in the name Mexico" Certain MEM
bers of congress have declared that
they will radically oppose the admission
of New Mexico under it's present name
Our Albuquerque contemporary adds:
'As the sunniest spot on the Ameri-
can continent. an appropriate name for
a state framed out of this territory
would be 'Solaris' or 'Solarium, but
far better it would be to build out of
the new state an enduring monument
to the memory of the noblest American
of them all by calling it the state of
Lincoln thus discharging at once a
sacred duty which the country owes to
the grandest character it ever produced,
while lifting from one of the fairest Sec
tions of our national domain the dam
aging handicap Of a name which it has
been unjustly condemned to carry for
all these years.
by calling the new state Lincoln
we should reclaim it from a curse not
unlike that which rested upon Cain,
and endow it with a name which would
never fail to arouse the best and most
favorable first impressions in every true
American heart. in any corner of the
civilized world-and what could be
more appropriate than giving to the
sunshine state the name of the one
great character in our nations history
whose soul was all sunshine?
"Then let us have the state of Lin
coln.% After being compelled to live
for three-quarters of a century under
a name which has practically ostra-
cised it from the rest of the country
the territory deserves to come into the
Union under a name which will no
longer nlisrepresent the thoroughly
American character of its people"
Sensibly said. And good logic, like
wise. If the people of New Mexico will
shake off the name that has proved the
greatest obstacle to admission in some
quarters half their battle will have
been won The name of Lincoln will
win many friends for the statehood pro-
jeot, no doubt. But il they will first
of all prove to the rest of the nation
that they are strong enough to rid
themselves of the notorious bosses
which have made their territory by
word in the mouths of well Informed
men, and then ask to come into the
Union under the name of the greatest
of presidents, much of the present OPP
position is bound to fade away.

IM nj Weekly Review, H. w. Wiley,
M al government chemist, deals with
M ri the sulphur question In an ex-
k& M haustive article covering several
MkzeNI thousand words. OF its alleged
effect upon apricots, peaches, pears and
mandarins, he says sulphuring is prac-
ticed for the following reasons:
1st-To produce as clear and intense a
yellow color as possible.
2nd-To conceal deeayed portions of the
fruit which have been overlooked in
trimming.
Srd--To prevent fermentation and decay
during the drying of the fruit.
4th-To protect the fruit during drying
from files and other insects, the larvae
of which would otherwise develop after
the fruit was stored.
5th--To kill the cells of the fruit and
thus make the texture more porous,
which expedites drying.
Admitting the truth Of all this. it does
not seem that any serious harm could
come to the consumer or his family, al
though further on in the article Mr..
Wiley says, 1.-The analytical data also
shows that a portion Of the sulphuric acid
used N the preparation of such products
becomes oxidized into sulphuric acid
after a certain time, thus artificially In
creasing the small amount of sulphur
naturally present in some food products,
which does not appear to be a desirable
practice"
1t is encouraging to know that Mr.
Wiley freely admits the small amount of
sulphur used in the curing of our dried
fruits but his conclusions are not as as
surfing, particularly when he adds that
'1f the results of the present study in
dictate that sulphurous acid, even in small
quantities, is a deleterious substance
when added to foods, it would be reason
able to expect that manufacturers. as
well as investigators. would Immediately
take steps looking to the early suppress
sion of the injurious substance. While it
is not likely that such an event could
be accomplished within year or two, it
is reasonable to suppose that it could be
eventually brought about without any
disturbance to manufacture and without
diminution in the output of the article"
Here Mr.. Wiley shows clearly his lack

Ducks and Deductions


There is a bright eyed, light haired
lad of out in the West Adams district
who has developed a faculty for think
ing which seems entirely beyond his
years and for saying things positively
startling.
The boy and his father were taking a
walk a few Sundays ago when the wee
lad procured fence picket and began
to make some remarkably fine wing
shots. With his imaginary gun he
caught sparrows, pigeons, Knockers as
they few. Right quarters, straight
away shots, drivers and twisters were
easy and, In the little chaps minds eye
came tumbling when he pulled the
trigger.
Archie" said the boys father, "you
must get out of that way of thinking.
The Creator Who gave you life also
gave it to the animals and the birds.
The idea of killing them should not be
allowed to remain in your mind. God
doesn't want his birds killed, and you
should not cultivate the thought"
The lad made no reply at the time,
but the next day hts grandmother was
astounded to hear him say, after sew
eral minutes profound thought:
Grandma, if father didn't know so
much about God / could have lots of
fun duck hunting"
