LABOR EXCHANGES

n ECAUSE the United Kingdom is
X about to adopt the German ma
~ tional plan of labor exchanges,
neighbor thinks the kingdom has
lost it's head" Now, for our part, we
think the kingdom lost its head when
it permitted conditions to go from bad
to worse, until thousands of men will
ing to work could not find employment.
The national labor bureau will be
organized with ease-and a similar
bureau could be organized in the United
States without trouble. The postoff1ce
system will provide the framework for
the labor bureau system, the authori-
ties arguing that if letters can be reg
istered, so can the names of people who
are seeking employment
Lists will be distributed in the vari-
Gus centers where workers are needed,
so that the coal miner stranded" in
London may have a chance of going to
work in a colliery region; and the city
clerk who finds himself in a manufac-
turing district may readjust his rela-
tions to economics and the law of sup
ply and demand, and may find a chance
of going to a place where he is needed.
The national labor bureau is being
organized on the theory there is plenty
of work if it were properly distributed,
and in a land of huge fortunes 1t is
absurd that starvation should menace
individuals and families. When our
friend says the labor exchange plan
will require a constant expenditure of
millions of dollars" we cannot mourn.
The word Expenditure in a case like
this is hardly appropriate Let us state
the case accurately, and see how 1t
reads and sounds 1.-THE plan will re-
ouire a constant DISTRIBUTION
among the people of millions of dollars
on the part of the government in return
for USEFUL SERVICES RENDERED,
which will have the effect of improving
greatly real estate industrial and other
values in all parts of the United King
DOM" In the name of common sense,
let US ask how this can be sign the
members of the government have 'lost
their heads?

POVERTY AND DISEASE

TOHN BURNS says tuberculosis is
caused by poverty, ignorance, care
- lessness and drink. In his opinion
the four evils are related closely. Each
may be the cause of all the others, and
they act and react among each ether.
Poverty may be the cause of ignorance,
carelessness or the drink habit. or of
all three. Or all three may cause pow
erty. Or any one of the three may
cause poverty. Or poverty may cause
any one of the three.
But the easiest to attack is poverty.
Eliminate that and the work of dealing
with, modifying, abating and finally
eradicating all the other evils will be-
come comparatively easy.
The Bible says the destruction of the
poor is their poverty" and in this in
stance, as in every other, the Biblical
writer knows what he is talking about.
If it were not for the careless contempt
in which two of the ten commandments
those forbidding covetousness and
theft-are held in modern times, pow
erty would soon be abolished. Ignor-
ance, carelessness and drink would be
eliminated and tuberculosis would be
conquered.

whose letter on the Poltera case was

WOMAN WOULD PROHIBIT USE
OF TOBACCO ON STREET CARS

LOS ANGELES, June 3.-LEditor
Herald: Many cities have induced the
street car companies to prohibit the
use of tobacco on their cars. This has
been a cause of great rejoincing, COM
fort and satisfaction among non-us-
ers.
The street cars, are for the constant
use of all the people, and their man
ayers are certainly justified in forbid
ding anything that becomes nui-
sance, or that ministers to the dis
comfort Of those who travel. Gentle
men who would not think of smoking
in anybody's drawingroom or parlor
never seem to think that the practice
may be quite as offensive to the wo-
men and children who are riding with
them on the street cars Most men
would not Intentionally be ungentle-
manly, or impolite, or even inconsid-
crate of women, yet thoughtlessly and
for lack of having their attention
called to it continue the disagreeable
habit of smoking on street cars as
matter of course, and II asked about
the matter would probably say, "And
why not?" AS an answer to this ques-
ton by a non-user may help the users
to see the matter from a different
viewpoint. Come let us reason to-
gether'' often solves many vexing
questions. 1t is very offensive to many
have tobacco smoke puffed into their
faces anywhere, especially an crowded
street cars, whence there is no escape.
Those who smoke would likely desist
could they once understand that the
practice is so distasteful to those
about them. They would deny them
selves a momentary pleasure rather
than cause others discomfort or posi-
bly, sickness. If ladies would kindly
let it be known that they are nause-
ated by the cigar smoke, 1t would go.
To be sure, one hates to speak to a
man who is smoking, and so as we
women are making our wishes known
to the managers of the traction COM
panies and through the press, and our
faith is that we shall soon see the eff
feet and an improvement in this mat
ter. Portland, San Francisco and Ia
coma and many other cities have eff
fectually stopped the smoke nuisance
on street cars. Why not all coast CT
ties do likewise? The man who smokes
would in our opinion be better off
physically, mentally and financially If
he'd quit smoking altogether. He'd
be a better and filter companion in
the home and everywhere. Non-users
have the right to breathe the pure air
and users really have no right to With
ate the air for wife, children and
friends about them. Men would no.
tolerate tobacco using among women
why should women be annoyed by this
nuisance?
When you board a street car, men,
throw away your cigar and please the
women folks, A WOMAN.

SHYLOCKS

~ HYLOCKS in Los Angeles are send
ing out tempting circulars to
~ wage earners telling them that
they may obtain money on salary
without publicity" without knowl-
edge of employer and may repay il
in small sums. The shylocks forget
to state the repayment" when ended
will have brought them half as much
again as the sum advanced. Yes, In
some cases double the sum advanced.
In fact, there is no limit to the usury
of these private arrangements.
The borrower is always at a disad-
vantage, and the very fact the tempter
offers to lend money without publicity
and without the employers knowledge
gives the usurer a tyrannical grip on
his victim. Should the latter grumble
at the terms or refuse to continue
payments after he has repaid the prin-
cipal and fair rate Of interest the
shylock can always resort to the
threat of exposure, and many men,
especially young men, would rather
yield to the demands of the sharks
than have their employers, their rela-
tives or their friends become aware
they have "raised the wind" by patron
izing a salary loan shylock.
Some effective way of putting an
end to these usurious practices should
be devised, and since it appears laws
against usury may be outwitted by
skillfully worded contracts, "agree-
ments between gentlemen" etc, it has
been suggested that it be made illegal
to advance a salaried employe money on
his salary without the knowledge OF
his employer.
This should be done for the sake
of employers as well as employees, be-
cause an employers interests are some
times menaced when strong pressure
is put on a trusted employee by hound
ing dun to whom he has unfortunately
become indebted.

AIRSHIPS

TN spite of peace conferences the
airship has revived the war idea
Il in Europe. The various countries
"are satisfied the airship will prove
a big factor in all future wars" and
are constantly experimenting with all
forms of flying machines. In plain
language, they are endeavoring to ind
out the "best" way of applying the
flying machine principle to the con-
struction of engines for destroying
property and numbering human beings.
Already, under the "articles of wal"
the international rules of the ring, sew
eral weapons and forms of destruct-
iveness are debarred from civilized
warfare. A dynamite laden flying ma
chine which at dead of night can hover
over a crowded city and destroy inno-
cent men, women and children asleep
in their homes certainly should be for
hidden.
There is nothing romantic about
modern scientific warfare. 1t is a
hideous, barbaric butehery; AND ABB
SOLUTELY INEXPLICABLE is THE
NATIONAL HABIT OF THOUGHT
WHICH FORBIDS BULL FIGHTS
AND COCKFIGHTS AND PRAISES

are all right for certain hours of the
day. but God pity the boy or girl VINO
has no real mother to come to after the
school day.
1 feel sure that in this big and beau
tiful city of ours there are enough
bona fide mothers of culture and re-
flnement who would willingly spare
enough time to serve on our juvenile
committees, so at least they might pre-
dominate on such boards.
To my mind, and 1 have had years
of experience along these lines, there
is entirely too much expected of our
ignorant young people. There are too
many different "heads" to please. I am
quite sure that few, If any, of the
boys and girls taken from good fami-
lies could stand what these children OF
misfortune are expected to. and l am
equally sure that no sane board of
mothers would expect so much of these
unfortunates. I have often wondered
why our investigating committees have
not called the publics attention to the
fact that almost all of our juvenile
work is planned and executed by those
to whom the Lord did lot see At to
send children. Perhaps it is because
the investigators are also childless peo-
pie. These people are all right in their
place, to raise money, gather statistics,
ETC., but it is scarcely fair to the chill
dren to put all the power in such
hands. WONDER WHY.

IT seaport, San Pedro, viii be one of
N the greatest metropolitan cities in
the United States, and all arrange
ments made for it should be on a met
ropolitan scale. Hartman should build
the Fifth street depot he promised to
build when he secured the site from
for a square deal for freighters should
be kept up with energy, because good
roads, automobiles, a federal steam
skip line and finally the Panama canal
are bound to adjust the matter in time;
and it would be highly gratifying to see
railroad corporations give evidence of
soulfulness and of a sense of RESPONSE
bility by granting the public fair and
square treatment in advance of the
time when they will be compelled to
give that kind of treatment, or worry
along without any freight to speak of.
The fight for just freight rates Is
hardly less important than the fight
for a peoples harbor, and every sue
cessful fight for liberty will increase
the opportunities and the prosperity of
Greater Los Angeles.
Consolidation will give the united
population of Los Angeles and the har-
Dor cities such strength that by pull
ing together and keeping in office
public officials who are absolutely
above "corporationism" and out of
reach of railroad influences, the
greater city" will occupy a most
position commercially.
Wonderful as has been the growth of
Los Angeles in the last few years,
gratifying as has been prosperity, we
may predict safely after consolidation
a metropolitan growth that will be un-
even in the wonderful his
tory of Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

Nj EYER LISSNER, in an address
ikI before the Friday Morning club
LIZ said women can have the right
of suffrage IF they go after it hard
enough" Like every man who has
studied the question, MI Lissner knows
the cause of woman suffrage is hin
dered by the apathy or opposition of
many women. They have come to re-
gard politics as "vulgarizing." Well,
if they only realized it, politics is ma
tional housekeeping; and no woman is
so snobbish as to consider housekeeping
vulgarizing.
When women make up their minds to
help the nation keep house they will
demand the ballot and when they de-
mand the ballot they will get it, and
when they get it, graft and grafters
will lose all influence in the policies or
politics of the United States.
Then, speed the female suffrage BOOM
Success to it, let's shout!
oh, lovely woman, take your broom
And sweep the grafters out!"

generated that make healthy sexual

THEATERS

WI HEN the subject of safety of
wv theaters is being discussed, it is
W we'll to remember Los Angeles
is fortunate in the possession of modern
.playhouses, equipped with all the latest
and most improved devices for protec-
ton from fire or from panic. Theatrical
construction is such that the biggest
audience could be on the street with
out crowding or jamming long before
there was any danger.
Los Angeles has better theaters than
any other city of its size in the United
States, and the general quality of the
atrical entertainments is better than is
enjoyed by any other city. Los Angeles
takes pride in the fact its theaters are
well guarded, both physically and NOR
ally. In every sense of the word they
are safe.
