ORIENTAL UNREST

n NE of the causes of the unrest in
India which is worrying the
" British government is the Ameri-
can occupation of the Philippines. For
more than half a century the Indians
have been demanding a share in the
government in fulfillment of a promise
made by the London government, and
after period of agitation and dis
turhance that promise is about to he
fulfilled in part. In the Philippine ISL
ands the United States promised self
government to the Filipinos, and be-
fore the end of ten years of occupation
had granted an elective legislative as
sembly.
During the long British occupation of
India the natives have been treated
as if they were a nation of boys and
girls. Yet the truth is various phases
of Hindu civilization are far older than
any European civilization, and if the
oriental does not become aware Of this
as a result of his oriental education
he becomes posted on the subject as
consequence of his European education.
The oriental scholar who receives a
European education is placed in posi-
ton of superiority to any European
or American. We might as well accept
and realize this disagreeable truth. We
are not educating untutored savages
when we are giving the benefit and re-
suits of our experience and study to
Japanese, Chinese and Hindus. We
are giving to the descendants of people
whose ancestors were educated while
ours were tattooed cannibals the result
and benefit of all we know, of all we
have found out, racially, through many
strenuous years, and the oriental takes
all our lore and makes himself master
of our philosophy and analyses our
modes of thinking without giving us
anything in return! The unrest in In
dia is portentous. Its consequences
may affect Caucasian civilization all
over the world; and to us, on the Pa
cihc coast, the fate of the British en-
pire in India is fraught with possibill-
ties of future good or evil.

TARIFF PROFIT

TN anticipation of increase of tariff
millions of dollars worth of goods
Il are being rushed from Europe to
the United States. Two vessels that
reached Boston on the same day
brought more than $2,O00,000 worth of
goods. When the tariff schedules are
finally passed upon and the new tariff
is put into operation there will be on
hand vast supply of the products on
which higher duties will be levied. We
do not believe q single reader of Los
Angeles Herald is so unsophisticated
as to think the public will receive the
benefit of low prices charged for goods
which have come in under present
tariff schedules. AS soon as the tariff
bill becomes a law the goods which
have been brought into the United
States under a low tariff schedule will
be exposed for sale at a greatly in
creased price, and the public will be
told the price has been advanced be-
cause of the new tariff law. And, as
on similar occasions in the past, the
customer will believe the announce
ments made when the goods are sold
and will pay the increased price, while
uttering strenuous remarks on the
subject OF tariff.
His remark would be even more
strenuous if he knew he was not pay
Ing the increased tax imposed by new
schedules, but the difference between
the amount of the new schedule and
the original valuation Of the import.
That is to say, the patriotic vendor
will take his profits, plus whatever
increase he may clap on in conse-
quence of the increase in tariff. The
government will make it possible for
him to collect both an earned and an
unearned profit. And unless he be of
angelic rather than mortal mold he
will. And the public will pay it.
But is it not proverbial the American
public likes to be fooled?

POLICE PRECAUTIONS

N HIEF OF POLICE DISHMAN is
taking vigorous measures to as
~ sure the maintenance of peace and
good order in Los Angeles during Elks'
week The chief cleverly anticipated
the plans of RED Lighters" whO
thought the excitement and general
joyfulness" attendant on the Elks' visit
would give them an opportunity to
transact business in defiance of law.
He detailed a committee OF plain
clothes officers to meet and greet law
less visitors, and to lock them up. 1t
is hoped and believed the zeal dis
played by Chief Dishman in behalf of
decency during the Elks' festivities
will have a good effect, as the news
of the official attitude toward disorder
ly persons will have restraining in
fluence.
Chief Dishman's activity in behalf of
public morals is extremely gratifying
to all responsible classes of the COM
munity, but especially to fathers of
families, who would much prefer that,
if possible, their sons and daughters
should not be allowed to see any of
the rowdyism which but for Chief
| Dishmans vigilance might mar the
coming celebration. The Elks and all
their friends are heartily in sympathy
with Chief Dishmans desire to keep
the big festival clean, and to show
the world that our metropolis can
throw its 'hospitable doors wide open
to all good citizens, and at the same
time give them a reasonable guarantee
they will not be subjected to the
slightest inconvenience or embarrass-
ment. The representatives OF the un-
der world, the light-fngered gentry
and all the other disagreeables will be
looked after by Chief Dishman and his
men.

THE BEACHES

T OS ANGELES enjoys better sit
uation than any other city In the
"a United States. Most cities of met
ropolitan area are hard put to it to find
accessible outing places and breathing
spaces, but Los Angeles owing to the
fact it is a maritime metropolis, with
it's own harbor at San Pedro, has the
best beach resorts in the world. On
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays the
Los Angeles public goes to the beaches.
Pleasure seekers by the thousand
crowd the cars, thousands more ride in
automobiles and thousands make the
journey on cycles. AS a rule fortune
favors the good timers, and seldom is
the pleasure of a days outing marred
by mishap. No matter how big Los
Angeles may grow to be-and we be-
lieve Greater Los Angeles will be one
of the most populous cities in the
western hemisphere-it will always
keep close to the sun and the sea, and
will always be the healthiest city in
the world.

SAN PEDRO

A CORPORATION program sub
a mitted for approval by the San
- Pedro trustees today will arouse
opposition and resentment and will not
be allowed to go through without en-
phatic protest. Secretary Seward OF
the San Pedro consolidation committee
will present a protest against the pro-
posed grant OF steam railroad fran
chises on Palos Verdes street to any
railroad at the present time. objec+
ton is made to the Palos Verdes steam
road franchise because 'it would eff
fectually exclude the consolidated city
from one of the most available roads
by which the outer harbor when I'M
proved can be connected with the bus
mess portion of the consolidated city
now known as Los Angeles"
At this important crisis of the his
tory of Los Angeles and Southern
California 1t is important that the
vigilance OF guardianship of public in
terests in the consolidated city and
its great harbor should be redoubled
The persistence with which the cor
porations are fighting their selfish
battle shows they realize how much
there is at. stake, and citizens may
have this more firmly than ever i'm
pressed on their minds II they will
remember "the corporations gain is
the communitys loss" In the case of
San Pedro this is of such general ap-
plication 1t may be said every corpora
ton gain is the community's loss.
The trustees occupy a position OF
grave responsibility and will be held to
strict accountability for their actions.
In the struggle between the people of
Southern California and the corpora
tions for harbor rights, and the benefit
of the advantages which the harbor
will bring to this section of the coun-
try, the people expect the trustees to
remember that any action which OBJ
structs the free development and pub
lie use Of the harbor of Greater Los
Angeles will neither be forgiven nor
| forgotten.

AFRICAN "RHODIE"

.<<VXT HATS in a name?" The CO.
w incidence in associations of
names with circumstances
and events sometimes is startling. The
Dutch and British statesmen of South
Africa are trying to build up union,
but "Rhodesia" is refusing to come in.
So Africa has its "Iittle Rhodie." Af-
rican Rhodesia as a matter of geo.
graphical fact is much bigger than
American Rhode Island, but that does
not affect the curious historical coin
cidence. The statesmen of United
South Africa have made up their
minds Rhodesia must come into the
union and have offered to buy it from
the Chartered South Africa company,
which controls it, for $100000,OO0.

ELKS

PREPARATIONS for the reception
and entertainment of the visiting
Il Elks are being made with skill
and thoroughness, which will con-
tribute greatly to the success of the
big fest'vity. Los Angeles is about to
give another proof to the nation 1t is
the finest convention city on the con-
tinent, and is better able to take care
of a crowd than any other metropolitan
city. Moreover, for many reasons Los
Angeles enjoys singular advantages
over sll other cities in what we may
call the resourcefulness of committees
of entertainment.
When this city expects a crowd it
makes careful study of the art of TAX
ing care of that crowd, and IT has the
benefit of much experience. The ar
rangements for the gathering of the
Elks are entrusted to men who know
their business" who are specialists,
and will remember and provide for be-
forehand everything which in less for
tunate cities with less experienced
men in charge of affairs might cause
the exclamation: "Oh, If we had only
thought of that"
Our Elk visitors will find everything
has been thought of. Those who are do
ing the thinking" and the planning are
men of good judgment and of resource
fulness, and their ability is being
demonstrated in the mastery of detail
they are exhibiting. There will not
be opportunity during Elks' week for
a single "growl." and the only grumb-
ling that may be expected will be the
p-)test of all the members of the great
herd of Elks when they are compelled
reluctantly to say "au revoir' to
lovely Los Angeles.
