SAYS DR.. TORREY MERELY
ACTED AS PEAcEMAKER

Los ANGELES, Aug. 11.-[Editor
Herald: I am quite sure the article
in Tuesdays issue of The Herald, re-
ferring to DR.. Torrey separating the
belligerent proprietor of the Huntington
inn at Huntington Beach from Daniel
O'Connor, the cook, did not come to
your eye before publication, or 1t would
have appeared I'm different form. AS
l am familiar with all Of the circum-
stances, having got them an hour
afterWard from the lips of Dr. Tor
rey, and as DR.. Torrey is at the pres
ent time in the Yosemite and will not
reach his home in Pennsylvania until
week from Thursday, 1 will ask you
kindly to give me the space to set
right any wrong impression that may
have inadvertently gone forth.
In the first place. DR.. Torrey, to-
gether with his wife, were the guests
Of the Huntington Beach camp meet
ing under the direct supervision of DIR.
Pitner. AS such, he had no occasion
to inquire into the character of the
Huntington inn, which has always
borne a reputation second to none in
Southern California, and so far as any
one knows, has always been conducted
in a most orderly way Neither DR..
Pitner nor DIR. Torrey had the slight
est knowledge that the inn, which be-
longs to the Huntington company. had
any other than the best patronage. II
is the only hotel at Huntington Beach
and the best people of Los Angeles
stop there when visiting that resort.
Second, I have sought in vain for
any minister who has been interviewed
and expressed himself as believing that
DIR. Torrey was guilty of an over
sight in remaining in the hotel, or
else did not fear to consort with pub
licans and sinners with the belief that
he might be able to convert them. "
There are no ministers, excepting one
who at present reside in Huntington
Beach. and certainly all those who at
tended the camp meeting know that DR.
Torrey was the guest of the board of
directors of the camp meeting, who
would have Immediately closed that
or any other place in Huntington Beach
had they known that anything wrong
was going on there.
Third, DR.. Torrey was about to sit
down to a meal, when he heard a loud
alteration and saw Mr.. Wiley and Mr..
OConnor fighting. He Immediately
separated the two and then returned
to his meal That there was any tire
mendous sensation either in the hotel
or throughout the neighborhood" is a
flight of fancy that may be "the poetic
license" of a reporter, but is not ac-
cording to the facts of the case. The
truth is that DR.. Torrey was the first
one to speak of the incident, so quietly
did it all occur. The worst that can
be said Of the affair is that it was a
family fight in which one man was
drunk and the other mad with DR..
Torrey acting as a peacemaker. DR..
Torrey is so well known that it seems
hardly necessary to say this much, but
other papers may copy from The Her
aid and I am sure It would be a source
of regret to you to have your paper
responsible for circulating any mis-
statement. Respectfully yours.

EDUCATION

A PROGRAM Of education on a scale
n commensurate with the impor-
AA tance and the prospects Of Great
er Los Angeles is being arranged, now
that the school bonds have been re-
leased from the OBTAINING clutches of
the little Los Angeles" gang. Among
contemplated improvements are plans
for a new manual training high school
and an agricultural college. Splendid!
One of the principal educational ne
cessities of these strenuous days is
practical training which win give the
young citizen an opportunity of enter
ing into practical competitive life with
an equipment that will assure him q
fair fighting chance of holding his own
III the irrepressible conflict between
capital and labor. We believe labor
and capital are beginning to see their
interests in common, and that, like two
tunneling crews, one boring through
one side of the hill and one the other
they are laboring for the same end
even when they appear to be working
in opposite directions We hope it will
rot be possible much longer to talk of
them as being IN conflict.
Acting superintendent Bettlnger says
the bonds will enable the educational
authorities and managers to make pro-
visions for two types of young people
who have not received proper attention
in the educational work heretofore
Furthermore, improvements viii be
made at Polytechnic and Los Angeles
high schools, new buildings win be
erected for grade schools and struc-
lures in congcsted stricts viii be inn
proved and enlarged The attempt to
obstruct educational progress in Los
Angeles was deplorable. But Gods in
his heaven" alps right with the world,
end unpatriotic attempts OF that kind
will always be brought TO naught

VOTE

TN articles prepared by an expert
thoroughly familiar with every
- phase Of the subject. The Herald
has shown the benefits that will come
to San Pedro by consolidation. In one
of these articles the statement was
made: ut is not too much to say that
the consolidation election to be held,
at San Pedro will settle the fate of
that town-will decide whether It is
porations or a part of a great city
whose commercial progress and growth,
in which San Pedro will be in a po
sition to participate in the largest way
will astonish the world"
There is every reason to believe con-
solidatlon is safe" and that today's
election will put Greater Los Angeles
on the map. At the same time, mere
belief does not win victories, for, in
quaint scriptural phrase, faith with
out works is dead. Every citizen may
believe in Greater Los Angeles, may
have implicit faith in the future Of
the metropolis, but his belief can only
be put into practical effect by his vote
and by his conscientious endeavor to
impress on his neighbors and friends
the necessity and duty Of voting.
Therefore, you. who have the right
to vote, do your duty. Vote. And see
to IT that every man of your acquaint-
ance who has a vote to cast adds
that vote to the majority for consol-
idation. Greater Los Angeles with a
magnificent harbor within a few years
will be a city of a million prosperous
inhabitants. In the prosperity San
Pedro will be a sharer
A vote for consolidation will be a
vote for the emancipation of the harbor
from all influences that retard its
progress. It will be a vote for the
elimination of graft. 1t will be a vote
for the abolition of special privilege.
It will be a vote for a square deal
for everybody. 1t will be vote for
the welfare of every voter who votes
for consolidation.
Therefore, VOTE. Play your part in
the formation of Greater Los Angeles,
the maritime, manufacturing, CONNER
cial and educational METROPOLIS Of
the west.

SUPERVISORS

~ OLIDIFIlGD supervisors who defy
~ public opinion should remember.
~ after all, public opinion is the best
guide for official conduct. 1t may be that
once in a long long time an official may
"ny in the face of opinion" and be
right, and find himself finally vindi-
Gated, but that happens so seldom that
by far the safest rule for officials 10
follow is to take advice from the people
when roople uuitedly and definitely give
advice on any matter which comes
under Official jurisdiction. 1t is certain
the people do not intend to be fooled
with" by the solid three supervisors.
Public opinion is decidedly i'm favor of
a carefully supervised expenditure of
the good roads bonds, and the bond
issue was voted with the distinct and
oft stated understanding the super
visors should consult with representa-
tives of the public I'm matters relating
TO the construction of the good roads.
1t is amazing TO ind men i'm office
who are willing not only 90 oppose the
wishes of the public but to try TO
make believe" in defiance alike of
public recollection and OF public printed
record, that the people voted the good
roads bonds in order the supervisors
might have a chance of spending public
money regardless Of the wishes Of the
public. Supervisors, advisers and good
roads would make up an excellent pro-
gram, but supervisors minus ADVISERS
plus a huge fund, and good roads
ruualing y, an unknown or queried
auantity-thats different.

DECLARES LAMP ORDINANCE
BURDEN ON HORSE OWNERS

Los ANGELES, Aug. 11.-[Editor
Herald: l see our chief of police has
given notice that he Is about to en-
force an ordinance compelling all We
hicles to carry white lights in front and
red lights behind.
Now, this may do as far as automo-
biles, motorcycles and dangerous ma
chimes are concerned, but for buggies
and carriages, etc, it is all wrong.
have been thirtysix years driving
horses on the streets of this city and
I say they are not dangerous, and rec
ords show this. A horse will not go
over a person if it can go to either side.
Our buggies have no fixed place for a
light in front or behind, for there is no
necessity for them. This causes an
unnecessary expense and hardship on
every horse owner in the city, and
more particularly to the four or five
hundred teams that are hauling sand
and gravel from the river bed. AS
generally in winter their last loads are
hauled in the dark, and If they have a
trail wagon they will have to carry
four lamps, to be removed and replaced
every time wagon is filled and
dumped through the whole day. to pro-
tect them from arrest in the evening.

DENoUNcES AS FALSE THE
STATEMENT ON CHILD LABOR

Los ANGELES, Aug. 5.-[EditOr
Heraldl have been an interested
reader of the Letter Box ever since
came to Los Angeles, about six months
ago, although 1 have never written for
it and perhaps would never have done
so If 1 had not seen some statements
In the recent letter of w. Scott Lewis
which, from actual knowledge, / be-
lieve to be absolutely false. 1 refer
to his figures on illiteracy in which he
gives the percentage of working chill
dren in Massachusetts, who are un-
able to read and write, as 10.5. Now l
fully recognize the importance of the
child-labor problem, realizing as l do
that in the southern states actual child
slavery exists In it's most cruel form,
but I cannot believe that it has ever
obtained a foothold in New England,
or in fact in any of the northern states,
for I know that even New York has
passed laws prohibiting 1t. came
to Los Angeles from the city of Attle-
boro Mass, which is we'll known as
a manufacturing center, and can
vouch for the fact that child labor does
not exist there and / have no reason
for thinking it does in other places
have visited. l therefore demand that
Mr.. Lewis furnish proof of his figures
regarding New England. Let us have
his authority.
I hope the Letter. Box readers will
not misunderstood my position be-
cause / make this demand. l am fully
in accord with any move to abolish
this terrible curse, but I cannot be-
lieve 1t exists in my own home, and
of course it is natural for us to love
our native state and resent what we
consider false statements regarding IT.

TEXAS PRODUCT MAPS.
A Third Edition * Being Printed by
Secretaries.

Austin, Texas, April 19.-The
Texas Commercial Secretaries Asso-
citation has re-issued the Product
Map gotten out by the organization
last month. The demand for these
maps soon exhausted the supply and
the third edition is now being run
oft The requests for maps came from
all over the United States and
number Of foreign consuls requested
a supply for the information OF their
office and to place on file in European
libraries.
The map has been slightly revised
and presents as near an accurate
summary OF the production of each
county as It is possible to estimate
from available data. The 1910 gov

figures and If the government in
ventory taken at that time approx
mates those given by the Commercial
Secretaries, Texas win lead all states

ton by Il margin of over 100000

Illinois, Ohio, New York and Texas
leading in agricultural production in
the order named but the first four
states had practically all their land
under cultivation In 1900, while the
census shows that ToXas had less
than one-sixth of It's acreage under
the pillow. In 1900 the value of the
agricultural production of Iowa, the
leading state, was S390,000.000 and
Texas $239 100000, The value or
