NATIONAL GREATNESS

4 AMBASSADOR JUSSERAND is
making American notes. They
Ia cover every subject from civic
problems to irrigation. He says he is
intensely interested in America and
what goes to make up her greatness.
He would confer a favor on the United
7tates if he would deliver few lee
lures on the greatness and the content
edness of France, which by small land
holdings and by distribution instead of
concentration of wealth has solved the
problem which is most urgent and
pressing in the United States. When
casual takers say there is no "domes-
ticity' in France they are thinking Of
Paris. a cosmopolitan city which bears
scant resemblance to the real France.
In the real France nearly every man
sits under his own vine and fig tree
There is little crime. Drunkenness is
almost unknown. The vast majority
Of the people lead the simple life. And
quiet, serene and happy is that life.
Not many big newspaper stories
come from the French provinces, where
the king of Yvetot reigns, "couronne

soton. Quel bon pitt roi c'etait la, la.

CATS

CITIZEN has asked the board OF

destruction of unlicensed cats. He has
said they increase so rapidly that most
of them starve; that they carry dis
eases and make night hideous. But Dr.
Powers pointed out that cats killed
rats, which are the source of plague
AS DR.. Powers remarked, better GO
slow" about destroying cats. The re-
striction of the numbers of the cat
tribe has been tried in other countries
always with most unfortunate results
In various British provinces, especial
ly in some of the Australasian coun-
tries, the extirpation of cats has ex-
posed the unhappy inhabitants to a
plague of rodents-both rats and rab-
bits. The rabbits ate up the crops and
the rats ate the people out of house
and home. The anti-feline prejudice
for which some human beings are pc
culiar was forgotten. Australasia sent
out a wild appealing wall to all the
world to send cats, cats. and more cats
And by the shipload they were taker
to the rodent plagued provinces, which
thereafter treated pussy with marked
respect. Cats are necessary to civiliza-
ton.

ADVOCATES QUARANTINE GUARD
BE EMPLOYED SHORTER HOURS

LOS ANGELTS, June 81 Editor
Herald: VIII you please ask the city
council why 1t allows all city employees
to work eight hours except the men
who do quarantine guard duty in small
pox cases? They have to pay street
car fare, as they canot ride on their
stars like policemen do, and do not get
Broadway and East Fifth street po-
M Mushet, the city auditor, says it is
illegal to pay the guards more than
$274 day. They have no standing, no
ordinance or resolution ever having
been passed covering their case. Why,
then, do they pay us at all? 1t must
be illegal. He forgets it is state law
that we work under, and not city or
dinance.
State law says eight hours consti-
tute a days work. The recall health
board said eight hours Overtime Is
paid at the same rate. But b. H. Nc
Gill, the clerk in the health office, and
other men knocked, and DR.. Powers
sided with them. The solid Southern
Pacific five of the council saws amen,
and the bakery inspector says that
after the first of January Henry Sief,
George Mates, Mr. Bats, old man Par
sons, G.. H. West and old Graf Strick-
Ter will have to go. Why is it that Nc
Gill and DIR. Powers allow Off &
Vaughn to supply certain fumigating
supplies at a much higher price than
the Pasadena man will furnish 1t for?
Why is it the recall health board al
lows a sanitary inspector to live, eat
and sleep out at the smallpox pesthouse
and do sanitary inspection among the
people for the Second ward? Are they
not as good as the people of the
Fourth and Fifth words? l. N. S.

CURFEW

n ARENTAL responsibility will re-
ceive a salutary jolt that will keep
l. 1t awake when the fathers of chill
dren under II years of age learn that
they, personally, are to be prosecuted
if their children disobey the curfew
ordinance. 1t has been the custom to
arrest and send to the detention home
boys found on the streets after p. M,
but so many arrests of boys were made
that Chief Dishman decided to go
higher up" and punish responsible
parents. Under the city ordinance COW
ering the case this can be done. 1t is
the duty of parents to keep their boys
at home nights; to see to it they are
off the street by o'clock.
No doubt a father who is fined for
permitting his son to violate the cur
few law will see to it the law is en-
forced in his own household. Every
student of child culture, pedagogy, So
GEOLOGY, Is agreed the street is the
academy of crime" A boy who runs
the streets until all hours of the night
soon will find companions of his own
stripe and type, bent and inclination,
and from these companionships are
formed the gangs which are responsible
for much mischief in every big city
The strict enforcement of the curfew
law will be of advantage and benefit
to Los Angeles.

CHILDREN

TN explaining the remarkable de-
crease of 25,000,000 in the number
n of births in the United States in
the last ten years a woman writer
says it was attributable to economic
causes and has a direct connection
with CHILD LABOR, THE SUBJECT
ABOUT WHICH THE HERALD HAS
PUBLISHED MANY EDITORIAL
ARTICLES. In consequence of the
fact that within recent years many
children have not been allowed to
complete their education and have
been taken out of school and sent to
factories, the birth rate for which in
telligent American women are respon-
sible will become smaller than ever,
for intelligent American women will
not bring children into the world to
keep the factory wheels going round
and to help build fortunes for the
magnatesl Americans will not be the
mothers of slaves!
A frank woman writer says boldly:
Women will use their Withholding
power UNTIL PREVENTABLE
DEATHS FROM SOCIAL CAUSES
CEASE, and until economical condi-
tons are adjusted in such way that
the father and mother of a family
will have a reasonable guarantee they
will be able to bring UP their children
without exposing them to the cruelty
of starvation and without depriving
them of a complete education"
Unless the social problem is solved
it is certain that sooner or later the
phenomenon observable during the
last ten years of big fortunes and
great misery will become an estab-
lished condition. Unless there is
reasonable assurance of life. lib
erty and the pursuit OF happiness, a
square meal and a square deal for
EVERYBODY, the nation will be af-
fected by the greatest and the grav-
est strike in its history for THE
MOTHERS WILL GO ON STRIKE.

CONSOLIDATION

~ REATER LOS ANGELES plans
eT will have the result Of presenting
~ to Uncle Sam one of the finest
Z gifts he has had in his modern life
1t is hard to recall any equal to it.
He will receive a city, magnificent in
its aspect today and its prospect for
tomorrow, we'll equipped for dealing
with the problems which must be dealt
with by every metropolitan center,
commercially in a commanding posi-
ton, and by a federal line of steam
ships on the Pacific coast and then by
the completion of the Panama canal
to be released from lettering and re-
straining influences. 1t is a city not
only industrially and commercially
great but city of homes, schools, col
leges, universities; of music and art;
TO which consolidation and the inclusion
within its boundaries of the harbor
cities will give the SEA POWER that
alone is lacking to round its sphere of
metropolitan influence, greatness and
grandeur. Well may we call it GREAT
Err Los Angeles. There will be no
greater city in the west.
Unsettled conditions always breed a
certain amount of uncertainty; and
the definite settlement of plans for
Greater Los Angeles will have a help
full tendency. When the public is as
sured of the success of consolidation,
1t will settle down to close study of
methods of making the best use of the
advantages secured by consolidation,
and the result of the application OF
united mental force to the life and pros
poets Of our metropolitan maritime city
will be an access of prosperity equal
to what is sometimes called a boom.
In connection with the growth of Los
Angeles, we object to the word. A
boom means squirt, and with it goes
generally the idea of falling back-of
losing ground. The growth and pros
perity of Greater Los Angeles will
equal the record of any boom, but in
their achievements and results they
will be permanent, and will determine
for all time the undisputed leadership
of Los Angeles among the great cities
of the western United States.

THINKS TAFT MEANT TO
DISCOURAGE EDUCATION

LOS ANGELES, May 2S.-[Editor
Herald: A dispatch in The Herald of
May 26 quotes Mr.. Taft as follows: Il
am far from saying the negro race to-
day would be better off if negroes were
all educated as university men,"
Now, should this be interpreted as
encouragement to negroes TO obtain a
university education or as discourage
ment? 1t is plainly ridiculous to as
sumo Mr.. Taft contemplated the posi-
bility of every negro in the United
States today obtaining a university
education; therefore, beyond any doubt,
he meant this remark as a general dis
enlargement to the regro race in striv-
ing for a university education. Now II
he believes university education
harmful for the negro race any educa-
ton at all must be proportionately
harmful. This view is corroborated by
urging on the negro the Importance of
gaining the respect and confidence of
the white people among whom he is to
live" obviously MIR. Taft does not be-
lieve white people should give respect
and confidence TO educated negroes. Is
not this serving direct notice on the
negro race that 1t should content itself
with an inferior position?
If not, then hisNremarks must apply
equally to the white race, and there Is
nothing left but to assume that Mr..
Taft meant that only a chosen few
Che himself, fortunately, belonging to
this class) should be. favored With q
university education. and that the great
majority should content themselves
with no education but by their docillty
and loyalty to their educated superiors
should seek to gain their respect and
confidence"
Is not this class distinction with q
vengeance? Is it really present-day
AmericaniSm? SEVENT Y -SIA.

AQUEDUcT WORK


II EMARKABLE work is being done
n, on aqueduct construction. Amer
lean tunneling records twice have
been beaten by the engineers, and now
they have established a third new rec
ord of world championship by boring
with hand drills and timbering $40 feet
in thirty-one working days.
That aqueduct construction should
be accompanied by record breaking is
Enthusiastically Californian. Never
yet has any work been attempted in
this enterprising state which has not
been performed In way which has
established a new precedent in energy,
efficiency and economy.
The Los Angeles way is to resolve,
dare and do; and there is a world of
philosophy in one of the lines of the
old Cameron war song:
WHATEVER MEN DARE. THEY
CAN DO"
The history of Los Angeles shows
this to be a fact. Faith literally can
remove mountains. BY faith has Los
Angeles been built to its present good
ly proportions. By faith it has
climbed the hill Difficulty and at
talned to its position of leadership
among Pacific cities. BY faith it is
building a great aqueduct and breaking
all records for rapid and excellent con-
struction. Los Angeles has faith in
its future. This faith helps Los An
geles to succeed in everything 1t I'M
dertakes. In order to win. it is neces-
sary to be In winners frame of
mind. The resolution to win precedes
the victory. Los Angeles always has
been and always will be winner.

VACATION SCHOOL

q UCCESS should mark the history of
- the vacation school which is be-
ing established by the Young
Mems Christian a>Sociation. The school
is for students of TIE sixth, seventh,
eighth and ninth grades. The fore
moons will be devoted to grammar
grade subjects, commercial and other
branches. The afternoons will be de-
voted to country rambles and general
health-giving recreation. Nothing the
Y. NJ. c. A. has done In all it's his
tory has been more practical and USE
full than the establishment of this
school.
1t is needed, and should be appreciat-
ed by the public. Great credit is due
to the lf-sacrifcing men who have
given up their own vacations in order
to devote themselves to the work of the
vacation school. They are Theodore
Fulton, department of mathematics,
Olive street high school, who will be
the principal of the vacation school; j.
P. Lillard, department of English, Oh
i've street high school; Roy Porter,
principal of the Tenth street school,
and W. F. Hughes, principal Of the
Castelar, street school.
The establishment of the vacation
school will be another proof to the
world of the purpose of Los Angeles to
become the educational center of the
west and one of the principal educa-
tional centers of the United States.
This ambition is one Los Angeles may
easily realize; and the educational
leadership of a country or of a section
Of a country is we'll worth striving for
1t gives a fame, a prestige and ma
tional place that achievement in no
other kind of work can confer.
