A call for automobiles In Los An

how fast automobile owners answer
ed the call of the entertainment
committee for the Congressman.
They are less willing to give the
moneys worth in pleasure here than
In any other city that engages In
such wide advertising. One reason
Is because no one ever really ex-
poets anybody to stay here, but
merely wishes to get all the money
out of the visitor that they can be-
fore they go. Elsewhere they have
more of a metropolitan spirit and
try to keep the tourist at any cx-
pense-to see the city grow. Los
Angeles gained 100000 In seven
years and has no better climate or

Now when interest is being re-
vived in the 1910 Floral Parade,
the cynic may bask In the many
reflections that arise from thinking
over It,. In the good old days, peo-
, pie used to have carnivals, fairs and
such and grow year younger at
each. Nowadays they have an ad-
vertisement and grow whiskcrs
! wondering whether the neighbors
have heard about It or not and how
much money they will spend II they
have. People have forgotten how To
enjoy themselves. In conceiving the
Floral Parade, Honolulu did not do
II because 1t wanted to enjoy itself.
IL did 1t because 1t wanted to get
people over here with money and
do II with as much as etiquette al
lowed and little on the side. Every
body will get melted and uncom-
Portable waiting for a parade to
wander around, and when 1t is all
over the visitors will heave sigh
of relief and hustle around for
pleasure. The Los Angeles Fiesta,
famed all over the world, is the same
advertising proposition. They make
million every year out of 1t, have
a beastly time while It lasts, and
fine bank account when its over.
Honolulu is the same, but It Is not
half as generous as Los Angeles.

ago his name appeared in the directory
OF the residents OF Beverly, Mass. That
was after he had started on his 1s,ooO-

When Mr.. Taft arrived in Augusta, Ca.
last Saturday It was found that the Au-

Taft, William H., President of the
United states. Terrett Cottage Summer
Vile" II is more than eight months since
Mr.. Taft lived at that address. and there
are no present indications that he win live
there at any time in the future.

REoReANIzERs IN NEW YORK.

HOSE New York Democrats who assem-
- blod at Saratoga some time ago TO con-
slider ways and means for recognizing the party,
are taking comfort out of the defeat of Tam
many and the situation in New York. Tammany
avas routed all along the line with the exception
OF the election of Gaynor as Mayor, but the new
Mayor has never been IN sympathy with Tam
many and Murphy took him, not because he
wanted him, but because he believed that Cay
nor was the only man who could win. Tam
many's chief fight TO secure the Board of
Estimate and the heads of the different boroughs.
in this it lost. The Board of Estimate has
tho awarding of rich contracts for city work,
and it is the securing of these contracts that
helps remarkably TO build up a municipal
machine
With the exception of the election of Gaynor,
tho Fusionists were successful with their ticket,
but most of the Fusionists chosen are Demo
crsts-- though they do not wear tlle Tammauy
badge. 2ile Fusion President OF the Board OF
Aldermen of New York is a Democrat, and the
Presidents of the boroughs of Manhattan, the
Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens arc Of the same
party. Twelve of the sixteen members of the
Board of Estimate arc Democrats and Iammany
is practically shut out from that body. This is
really the most important body in the admins
traton of affairs in New York. There are,
therefore, four lean years ahead of Tammany,
but Boss Murphy says with a grin that so
far as the Mayors office is concerned Tam
many has had under Mcclellan four very lean
wears and ne pieSuineS the nan can get along
without the patronage.
The present seems TO be an opportune time
for the Saratoga Conference Democrats to lift
their eyes and look for a reorganization of the
party, for Tammany is discredited in New York
CITY, and Conners who is at the head of the
State machine has long been disoredited in the
State outside of the city But il the Saratoga
Democrats should become busy a split would
follow in the party The reorganizers would be
resisted by Murphy and Conners and on the
whole the party at large would not be likely
TO gain. Whether or not the hold of Tammany
upon New York has been permanently shaken
time alone will tell The experience in New
York with fusion government has resulted after
a brief trial in the return of Tammany to pow
er Unless the incoming administration IS diff
ferent from others, the same story will probably
be repeated.
Gaynor as Mayor, should be given a fair trial
But II is the policy in New York not 20 give any
Mayor fair chance The abuse of Gaynor as
the elected Mayor is about the same it was
during the campaign. And in that abuse New
York seems to be different from most other
places-Deaware for example. Governor Pen
new1ll was assailed bitterly during our CAM
paign, but there has been a disposition now that
he is governor to give him fair ohanoe-in
fact the Governor spiked the guns of his critics
soon after his election by his praiseworthy ef-
forts to make good his promises in a oreditable
manner
