BENEVOLENT TRUST

A PENSION fund and an employees
n benefit association are maintained
1 n by the International Harvester
company, which in a recent report ac-
knowledged frankly it is trust, and
said: "There seems to be a growing
change in sentiment upon the trust
question in favor of dealing with the
large corporations according to their
conduct and methods rather than by
attempting to destroy them indiscrimi-
nately because of their size.
"The company has at all times invit-
ed the fullest examination of its busi-
ness methods and its treatment of
competitors, agents and customers. In
the litigation in Kansas and Missouri
and in the investigation by the bureau
of corporations full and frank dis
closure has been made of all the facts
connected, with its organization and
business, and all it's records have been
open to inspection"
In short, the reaper trust asserts it is
model trust, and points with pride
to the fact it has paid it's disabled en-
ployes, out of the fund Of the En-
ployes Benefit association, in which 1t
is partner, the sum of $685. ,465.

season amounted to 72,541,77116. It is

SIXTH WARD

IN AXPAYERS of the Sixth ward are
bitter in their complaints as to
u the nature and quality of the
service rendered them by their coun-
Gilman. The outrageous fertilizing
plant capped the climax of a number
of instances which have resulted in
demonstrations that may be taken to
mean the Sixth ward representative in
the council is not as popular in the
Sixth ward as he is in certain other
localities.
A correspondent whose letter was
published i'm The Herald was speaking
for many irate fellow sufferers when
he said: Assuming the greater part
of our honorable councilman's time is
occupied in looking after the interests
of a certain corporation and drawing
his salary, we will ask him to abate
but one nuisance at time. After he
has wiped the fertilizer plant out of
existence then let him report to the
council the condition of some of the
streets of the Sixth ward. For in
stance, let him examine Compton ave-
nue. from Twentieth street south to
about Thirty eighth street, and report
to the council the exact condition of
said avenue and let him explain why
some parts of said avenue are made
common dumping ground for nearly
all kinds of refuse to lie there and be-
foul the air.
I'VE are citizens and taxpayers and
as such are entitled to have part OF
the tax spent in our own ward. We
have waited long and patiently, and If
something is not done before long we
propose to know the reason why. as
some of our streets are a disgrace to
any city"
The Sixth ward is one of the most
important, populous and prosperous
in Los Angeles. The Herald sympa-
thizes heartily with the taxpayers who
have complained to this newspaper
they are not getting a square IDEAL,
and will help them to get it. The first
duty of a councilman, or of any other
representative of the people, Is to his
constituents, to the people who elected
him and whose servant as well as
representative he is. The representa-
tives of the people of Los Angeles
must train themselves to a correct
habit of thought with regard to their
obligations of office, their duties and
their responsibilities.
They have no right to undertake
either directly or indirectly, any cor
poration work while they are being
employed by the city 70 guard its in
terests. No man can serve two mas
| ters, and any attempt to serve Los An
geles interests and corporation inter-
ests simultaneously is foredoomed to
dismal failure and to stern rebuke.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

ETISCHIEF- MAKERS at San Pedro
tNR are trying to interfere with con-
49, solidation plans by putting a
wrong construction on the recent state
ment of the Los Angeles consolidation
committee concerning its attitude to-
ward harbor development. The simple
truth is, the Los Angeles committee
does not wish to take any position or
make any promises that it cannot full
I'LL in good faith.
Greater Los Angeles plans will be
carried out in spite of the malicious
Misrepresentation of peevish and ir-
responsible tattlers, but they will be
carried out in the only way in which
anything accomplished by humankind
should be achieved, namely, by what
President Theodore Roosevelt in happy
phrase called a square deal
Every resident of Los Angeles and
the harbor cities. whether he be prop
erty owner or renter. whether his
stake in the community" be great or
small, should resent the audacious at
tempts of petty local or big corpora

with regard to the consolidation Of Los
Angeles and San Pedro and the estab-
lishment in this great center of indus
trial and commercial activity and Of
population of a we'll managed, thrifty,
ably governed metropolitan area which
shall be called Greater Los Angeles" a."
When a movement meets with such
general approval as that bestowed on
the Greater Los Angeles movement, the
attempts of petty minded partisans or
private interests to get in the way of
progress are as ridiculous as the ef-
forts of a ringtailed Barbary baboon
to stop the limited express by squat
ting on the track. At the same time,
ineffectual though they be, the antics
of the would-be obstructionists are not
public spirited and are subject to rep
rehension and condemnation.

MEN CHOOSE KNOWLEDGE
RATHER THAN IGNORANCE

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 10
Editor Herald: One of the strongest
proofs we have that we are created
i'm the image of God is that, despite
the experiences of the centuries
through which that primal lie," ac-
cording to r. N and C. F., has been
hurled at woman we today, men and
women, choose knowledge rather than
ignorance.
c. F.. declares God sees no evil"
Yet we read, Genesis 2:17, that God
warned man not to eat of the tree
of knowledge of good and evil, MAX
ing the penalty of the act death.
Why was that tree of the knowledge
cf good and evil in the midst of Eden,
where everything else was conducive
to happiness? If we say God placed
it there we make God the first cause
in the fall of mankind, and an ac-
cessory in mans s degradation, thereby
depriving God of authority to pass
Judgment on man in the event of his
fall.
God knew that until man should par
take of the fruit of that tree he, man,
could not discern between good and
evil, yet he allowed man a choice in
the matter. and that man chose to
know the difference between good and
evil proves that he is created in the
image of God.
The penalty of death Cor change) for
partaking of the knowledge of good and
evil was pronounced that man might
not become unduly arrogant and as
sumo equality with God-and from the
manner in which man lords it over his
fellow man we see the wisdom of
Gods decision in the matter.

SWEET REVENGE

REVENGE story on which Charles
Dickens could have founded a
IA novel comes from Chicago. Mr..
and Mrs. Fritz Rickel quarreled with
Mrs. Emma Runge, washer
woman Mrs. Runge brought suit
against Mr.. and Mrs. Rickel for SLAM
der. She obtained Judgment against
Rickel for $3.50 and against Mrs. Rickel
for $3.50. AS defendants were not able
to pay, she had them locked up in n
debtors prison. Mrs. Runge, although
a poor washerwoman, has agreed to
pay Cook county $3.50 a week for an
indefinite period for Rickeps mainte-
nance in the prison while she de-
tains him there for the debt. Nay,
more; it is probable she will also
cause the Imprisonment of Mrs. Rickel
on similar terms. She will toll at her
washtub in order to earn 81 a week
to pay the board of her prisoners
There is probably not the remotest
chance the judgment will ever be paid
but the poor woman will go on scrub
bing, scrubbing. scrubbing, in order
that her alleged maligners may remain
in Jail.

nature. George Gordon Byron, who

ADVISES CIVIC CLEANUP
INSTEAD OF MORE POLICE

PASADENA, May 12.-[ Editor Her
add: What is the use of increasing the
police force and spending a half mir
lion dollars more per annum for their
salary, and keep on licensing saloons
to rob and kill and make other mil
lions necessary for the protection OF the
public from all sorts of crimes COM
mitted as a direct result of the saloons
and accessories.
What is the policy of Captain Smith
in striving to raise the morals of the
saloon business unless it is to thwart
the efforts of the mothers, wives,
daughters and sweethearts who are
nobly striving with the best political
element of the age to drive that cursed
traffic from Los Angeles?
Why should the decent element of
your community encourage Captain
Smith in his efforts to make the saloon
appear to be a fit place for their sons
and daughters to congregate to learn
the vices and join the army of the
lawless element of which they com
plain?
The Herald's public letter box en-
courages correspondence on civic and
other forms of righteousness. Now let
Captain Smith or his friends answer
this:
Should Christ visit Los Angeles in the
flesh and take part in such matters
as Just now interests captain Snlluil
and Chief Dishman, does the captain
think Christ would advise them to ele-
vate their wicked business and make
it respectable so that more saloons
would be necessary and less sanctuaries
and Sunday schools? More policemen
and jails and less churches, w. T. c..
us and Y. M. c. AS?
If you really intend to encourage
housekeeping why not root out all sa-
looms, dives, gambling dens, billiard
halls and tables, poolrooms, and set
adrift that element that can not thrive
without them?
Talk about Los Angeles becoming
the greatest and best city on the conti-
nent. She can never be either until the
saloon and kindred evils are banished.
When God abandons Los Angeles her
condition will become worse than Sod
an, and Gonoorrah J. n. r.

create such an uproar when I penned
NV letter regarding the shocking dis
regard for the feeling of the public
shown by American women In the
style of their bathing dresses. There
seems to be some misunderstanding
about my position. When L saw that
young woman on the beach in a sal
mon pink bathing dress-scanty as to
pattern and thin as to teXture-she
was going to the water. / fled before
she came out. One correspondent
calls me a birding and asks, Where
was nursie?" l was not child and
had not had a nurse for years. An
other contributor to the Letter Box
suggests that bathing suits be made of
burlap. There must be some mistake
there, as ! have investigated and find
burlap to be a coarse jute textile not
at all adapted to water dress. He also
advocates rubber boots or overshoes.

bersome gear, but every one has his
taste.

rent, and until it is abolished I shall
have to stay away from the seashore.

THINK ONE HUNDRED MORE
POLICEMEN UNNECESSARY

LOS ANGELES, May 12-[Editor
Herald: l wish to voice my disap-
proval of Chief Dishmans call for 100
increase in the police force. This is
asking for too much; 1t means a taxa
tion of about $4,000 a month for the
support of the increase. Are we going
to be benefited that much? I don't
think so. Where will this extra amount
of men be used to advantage? An in
crease of perhaps twenty-five OF thirty
men would be about right. There are
entirely too many dummies on the po-
lice payroll now. Thin them out and
get working men and there will be no
need of such large increase. If a light
is ordered on the front porch what is
to become of the back door? More ex-

BATHING COSTUMES MILD
COMPARED TO SOCIETY GOWNS

HOLLYWOOD, May 1O.-[Editor
Herald: Kindly allow we to express
my heartfelt sympathy for the poor
,little Englishman who could not stand
the sight of a young girl in bathing
suit. But it is an i'll wind etc.
A man who can't look at women in
bathing suits, no matter what color,
without thinking of God knows what
had better stay away from public
places. Perhaps the book he was en-
joying was that beautiful English crea-
ton, "Three Weeks" or something in
that line.
1 have seen bathing suits in Europe,
and in several places in the east. and
in California, but 1 don't think L have
seen one half so immodest as those
worn by the women in the drawing
rooms of the so-called higher society in
England and elsewhere.
The idea of sex segregation is only
tbe reflection from an unclean mind.
