Speaker Cannon Has Difficulty in

Washington, March $50 great
was the confusion in the house today
that Speaker Cannon was continually
calling for order. He repeatedly ad-
monished the members to cease con-
versation, Finally becoming exas-
perated over the i'll success of his ef-
forts he got the attention of the house
by a vigorous pounding of his gavel.
With a tinge of censure in his words
he remarked that he desired to COM
pliment the occupants of the galleries,
which were packed to the doors with
the advance inaugural crowds for
their excellent order. "Now, let the

PATRICK OUT OF JAIL.
Leaves Sing Sing Long Enough to
Appear in Court.

New York, March 1.-Albert T. Pat
rick serving life sentence for the
murder of William Marsh Rice the
aged millionaire, left Sing Sing prison
today to appear before the appellate
division of the supreme court of
Brooklyn, on a writ of habeas corpus.
Assistant District Attorney Taylor
argued that no grounds were shown for
the issuance of the writ of habeas cor
pus. Patrick arose and in a clear voice
desired to know if counsel contended
that the facts in the petition We're un-
true. Justice jerks at this point gave
Mr.. Patrick an opportunity to read
the district attorneys reply to the writ
of habeas corpus following which argu-
rnent was commenced in which Pat
rick took leading part.
Mr.. Patrick told the court that he ac-
cepted the return of the writ and asked
for an adjournment until next week be-
fore concluding the final argument. The
hearing adjourned to Friday and Pat
rick was taken back to Sing Sing.

GOOD TIMES

U INCREASED prosperity is indicated
by the alacrity with which county
a taxes are being paid this year.
The receipts were at the rate of 5000
600 ahead Of those of last year--that is
to say, at a given time that much more
had been paid into the treasury than
at the corresponding period of last
year. TaXpaying is good barometer
of prosperity, because when times are
dull and business slack the taxpayer
hangs back and grumbles. That is
human nature. When business is brisk
and money is coming in quickly and
abundantly the payment of taxes is
not burdensome. 1t is when the tax
payer is tempted to apply his tax
money to everyday needs or the pay
ment of urgent bills that the voice OF
the tax collector is heard raised in ex-
postulation.
The times are good, and there is nc
excuse for niggardliness, Money is
plentiful, otherwise the county ta'
payments would not be running fifth
Of a million dollars ahead of those o,
last year.

PROSPERITY

GONTINUED prosperity is indicated
by Los Angeles bank clearings,
" which for the past week showed
an increase of S1.3 per cent over those
of the corresponding week of last year.
The volume of business transacted in
Los Angeles is great and gives an in
dication Of the business expansion
which may be looked Tor confidently
after consolidation has been effected
and Los Angeles has the advantage of
the finest harbor on the west coast.
Greater Los Angeles, with San Pedro
harbor, will be the principal business
center of the far west. With the COM
merce Of the orient, the Pacific coast
trade and the Panama canal shipping,
opportunities for business expansion
will be constant, and there will be
abundant prosperity for all the citi-
zens of Greater Los Angeles and
Southern California

GREATER LOS ANGELES

GREATER LOS ANGELES is the
III metropolitan capital of the great
" southwest, and will be the fore
most port on the Pacific. This COM
mercial advantage can be claimed for
it with the utmost confidence. In order
to have a harbor second to none 1t was
necessary for Los Angeles to take an
active interest in the harbor, and this
active interest is being taken. The
people of Los Angeles realize the har-
Dor possibilities of San Pedro. Its
ally. It's commercial Importance is
acknowledged by all eastern students
of economic questions dealing with
production, expectation. Importation,
transportation and distribution. With
the east and west in accord as to the
Importance of the harbor, it can be
seen readily that Los Angeles plus San
Pedro will be of greatly increased i'm
portance and value to the nation, while
the only opponents of consolidation, a
few San Pedro corporation kickers,
must realize that a policy which will
bring about the greatest good for the
greatest number of the people should
be preferred over a policy which will
benefit the corporation few at the ex-
pense of the public many.
All the incidental questions which
must arise while consolidation arrange
ments are being made are of minor i'm
portance compared with the main ques-
ton, which is, Shall the Los Angeles
section of Southern California be per-
mitted to reach the full commercial ex-
pansion to which it may attain, shall
it be allowed to become one of the
greatest centers of industrial population
in the United States?
That is it's natural destiny. In order
that this destiny may be fulfilled most
tremendously and along the path of the
least resistance it is of vital Importance
that preparations for this commercial
expansion should be made NOW. Delay
might cost Los Angeles the premier
ship of the Pacific coast, and, in the
firm belief of many citizens who are
we'll posted as to conditions and can
use their reasoning powers, premiership
belongs to Los Angeles so naturally and
so obviously that one might say sit eau
be had for the taking" But the
taking" involves hard work, wide-awake
citizenship and "a long pull, strong
pull and pull all together" This is the
only pull Los Angeles needs to use,
and it beats any political pull or any
other kind of pull. The first essential
TO progress toward increased and ever
increasing prosperity is the adoption of
satisfactory plan of consolidation,
which will give to the Pacific coast and
the United States GREATER LOS AN

BREAD

m through an arbitrary and I'M
natural interference with the law
- of supply and demand the price of
bread is to be increased by the reduce
ton of the size of the loaf There is no
shortage of flour. Natures generosity
to the wheat-growing United States
was lavish. But there is a strange
shortage of honor in certain circles, and
this shortage is shown now in one dis
honorable act, now in another how
there, now here.
The shortage of honor has led a
covetous man whose name, like that of
through the ages, to exercise his I'M
doubtedly great business ability, his
shrewd business wit and discernment,
his business cunning, in bringing about
a state of affairs which will give him
control of the wheat supply and enable
him to make a price which will put an
immense unearnel profit into his pocket.
The payment of this one-man tariff
will lay the entire nation under tribute;
and history affords no parallel to the
spectacle of a free" people, the citi-
zens of an independent country, who
are so far from controlling business
conditions even in regard to the staple
necessaries, one of which--bread--is
called the staff of life, that they allow
one man to tyrannize over the country
and make himself an autocrat of wheat,
a car of the daily bread supply.
There is not any more freedom and
independence" in this disgusting and
deplorable spectacle of greed running
riot over a nation than there was in
the spectacle of the starving school
children in New York or their poor
parents with gaunt cheeks in the bread
line. 1t Is many years since Carnegie
wrote Triumphant Democracy" 1t is
not triumphant any more. But the time
is nigh at hand, and the loot, of the
bread supply brings it nearer when the
nation must be aroused to it's duty to
itself, which is to return to the first
principles of Americanism and to re-
store conditions under which the Star
Spangled banner in triumph shall wave
DER the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

THINKS WOMAN SOON WILL BE
EQUAL OF MAN IN EVERY WAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.-
Editor Herald: VIII &C. F." and
several other gentlemen of Letter Box
fame permit one to ask why this con-
tinual harping on equality of the sexes?
Taking as examples those who are
considered the best types. both men
and women. who are endeavoring to
live lives of moral uprightness, with
an inward consciousness that 1t is
best for themselves and for every
member of the human family with
whom they chance to come in contact,
wherein, we ask. is the great Unequal
ity of the sexes?
Because a man is privileged to min
gle with his fellows and exert his
prowess in the endeavor to provide
for those whose very existence he is
responsible for, is no argument that
he should take unto himself airs and
assume a superiority over woman.
If man is woman's superior in intel
lect, it is simply and only because he
has withheld from her the privileges
accorded his own sex. He is endeav-
oring to maintain this, the only in
stance in which he feels fairly sure
he is her superior. and in few years
he will be compelled to abandon this,
his last stronghold.
For one, | will not admit that any
warrior, architect or author known to
history is superior to his mother,
virtuous woman who spends her life
in rearing sons who attains the heights
in many instances only because she,
the mother, has vertically pushed them
to the pinnacles of fame.
But truly she has her reward as she
sees these same sons graphing with
the problems each age brings, and SO
much interested in the real issues of
life that they must leave the Dues
ton of sex equality to be solved by
the little fellows, sprawling at the foot
of the ladder.
Stop croaking, sc. F." take large
dose of optimism and come out into
the sunlight of the twentieth century.
ANXIOUS.

BANZAI!

REATER Los Angeles will do a
eT patriotic and gracious act and at
" the same time emphasize the
oneness" Of our city and it's harbor
city if preparations are made for a
royal banzai' reception to the two
Japanese cruisers which will arrive at
San Pedro on April &c. 1t is suggested
that Admiral Evans, who will be in
Los Angeles about that date, should
by the chamber of commerce to well
come and entertain the Japanese WISH
tors.
In order that this committee may
give the strangers a welcome worthy
of Greater Los Angeles and its seaport
San Pedro the committee should be
we'll provided with money. An enter
tainment fund should be supplied, and
it should be so generous that prepara-
lions may be made on scale that
will do credit to maritime Los Angeles
and Southern California, and that will
show the Japanese the people of this
coast are appreciative of the warm and
cordial hospitality extended by the
people of Japan to the crews of our
sixteen battleships.
We hope our Japanese visitors, like
all the other visitors Los Angeles has
ever entertained during her long and
distinguished history of hospitality,
will carry away with them sunny
memories of our sunny city, and will
help the Japanese to realize we
Americans are not their Jealous
rivals" in the Pacific but their breth-
rem and fellow-workers.

HEALTH

nR. KRESS calls attention to the
~ fact that the members of the
- teaching profession have IAN al
most sacred part to bear in the war
fare against tuberculosis. He says the
successful eradication of the disease
will depend in good part upon the ex-
tent to which the boys and girls of
the rising generation of citizens are
instructed as to the prevention and
cure of tuberculosis.
That it is preventable is a we'll
established fact. That it is durable is
not less we'll established. The old idea
that tuberculosis is hereditary is an
error. The following causes are as
signed to infections from tuberculosis:
Overwork mental or physical,
whether from necessity or choice; I'M
derfeeding, whether from insufficient
or improper foods; lack of resistance
produced by previous diseases, par
ticularly in childhood, measles and
whooping cough, and, later in life,
grippe; vicious habits, particularly
overindulgence in alcoholic drinks, to
the neglect of good food; and over
crowding.
The last is far too frequent cause
of the production of the weakened
bodies that are susceptible to tubercu-
losis infection. Workshops, school
rooms and homes seem often to be
constructed to keep air out rather than
to let it in. In many rooms persons
are crowded into a limited air space
with almost utter disregard to venti-
lation. To breathe vitiated air is at
all times harmful. An erroneous i'm
preston prevails that night air is
hurtful. and that open windows at
night are dangerous.
The very opposite is the case. Shut
in" air is harmful and closed windows
are dangerous. Open air almost in
variably is purer than that of closed
room in which the oxygen is being
consumed by human beings, lamps or
gas. In California it is a crime to live
a shut-in life, and is certain to have
bad effects on the immured person. If
home builders would build for fresh
air and sunshine, with plenty of We
randa space and outdoor bedrooms,
they would be building also for ro-
bust health and for longevity.

RECKLESS AUToMoB1LING

A UTOMOBILE dealers and owners
N resent the recklessness and folly
"A which can cause such accidents
as that near Bairdstown hill. The
automobile is no longer "rich mans
toy" 1t is one of the necessaries of
life. Automobile owners form, not a
small class in the community, but a
large proportion of the community.
Their number is being increased daily
and the automobile industry is one of
the greatest in the United States. All
we'll as all owners, are anxious that
an end should be put to the folly of
0iterally) break-neck speeding, con-
tests on the public highway and mad
dashes at frenzied pace. This kind of
folly is responsible for most of the
accidents which mar the history of
automobiling, injure the automobile in
dustry and have a tendency to dis
credit the automobile. which is one of
the greatest conveniences of modern
civilization, and should be recognized
as such and used as such instead of
misused.
Many automobiles are at times
driven by persons whose lack of ex-
perlence or whose responsibility
makes them unfit to guide these high
power machines. While Los Angeles
suffers less than any other city of its
size from automobile speeding and
from accidents therefrom, such acct
dents, when they do occur, provide
food for serious reflection, especially
when 1t is evident they are avoidable
accidents. caused by deviltry or care
lessness.
And nearly all the automobiling acct
dents are of this description. 1t is evil
dent therefore measures must be taken
to check the costly carelessness which
Injuries the automobile industry and
imperils the public. Some automobile
owners are censurable for their care
lessness in permitting unskilled per-
SONS to use their automobiles.
Men who would never dream of al
lowing an inexperienced youth to drive
an expensive, thoroughbred, high-met-
tied horse, think nothing of allowing
an inexperienced youth to handle and
steer and regulate (Which in the case
of such a youth generally means speed
up) an automobile. Youths no older
than high school boys are in many in
stances responsible for reckless auto
mobile speeding. The sons of wealthy
parents are guilty of a great deal of
AI.t. ILL al
automobiles without the supervision of
older and steadier heads they are
tempted to indulge in fast and furious
driving. At night especially they seem
to think there is some special manli-
ness or admirable daredevilishness in
"going like the wind"
For the sake Of the automobile in
dustry and for the sake of our great
automobiling center, Los Angeles, an
attempt should be made to introduce
automobile reform by frowning down
fast driving. Let us put a stop to it.
In Los Angeles there are fewer auto
mobile accidents than in any other
city of it's size, and the fact that most
of those reported are preventable
makes us believe it could and should
be possible in the near future to record
there are none at all. We do not by
this mean that the remedy lies in legis-
lation that would mean burden to
automobile owners. The laws We now
have are adequate. An application of
sober, sound commonsense will solve
the problem.
