and has now asked waivers from the other
clubs on fourteen men.
Dahlen. one Of the keeuest strategists
Of the game. has a suggestion 10 offer on
the rule governing the following play:
With one man out and runners on first
and third the batter hits fly 10 the out
field and the man on first races down 70
second before the ball is caught. The
fielder throws 20 first. doubling up the
runner who had gone down 20 second
for the third out. but in the mean time
the man on third scores
This run is allowed to count under the
rules. but Dahlen insists that il should
not. He declares that almost invariably
such a play is caused by stupid base run
ming. and even might be brought about
Intentionally by a player in order to get
across what might prove 10 be the win
ming run.
lie says, further. that not only is a
team benefited under this rule BY the stu
pidity OF one OF its players. but the Op-
posing club is penalized. although IL Is play
ing the game. lie insists that the double
play is a continuous one. Just the same
as though there were force out and that
the run should not count.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

~ REATER Los ANGELES, with it's
IT seaport, San Pedro, will be one
~ of the principal maritime cities of
the United States. Even before the
completion of the Panama canal it will
have established its claim to be con-
sidered one of the chief Oriental and
Australasian trading ports, being the
embarking point of a short route to
Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand, the
Philippines and Japan and the Asiatic
continent.
With owens river water supply, there
will be a quick and notable addition to
the manufacturing and industrial life
of the city. Opportunities will be
broadened. Capital will be attracted.
And there will be plenty of capital,
Money seeking investment will come
from all points of the compass, because
every investor realizes that in Los An
geles, with its record breaking in
creases in values, it's wonderful growth
in population, and its speedy and sure
development, there are opportunities
for quick and certain returns on in
vestments, quicker and more certain
than can be found in any other city of
the United States.
Increase of capital, growth of popu-
lation, new enterprises, and the devel-
opment and prosperity of San Pedro
harbor will combine to make Greater
Los Angeles the metropolis of the Pa
citic. This is the logic of the outlook.
Not one voice that has been raised in
opposition to consolidation has been
able to produce an argument bearing
even a remote resemblance to logic or
reason.
Fantastic prejudices, irrational SUI
perstitions and oppositional traditions
derived from corporation influence
comprise the ammunition of the citi-
zens who believe in retarding the
growth and interfering with the pros
perity of Los Angeles and the seaport
cities This anomalous and whimsical
opposition is already showing signs of
dissolution, and ere long the peevish
ghost of it will be saying
II was so soon to be done foE
I wonder what I was begun for?
There is nothing rational in the OPP
position to the plans for Greater Los
Angeles, and the people of this com
munity never have been and never
will be misguided enough to mistake
responsibility for reason.

TRUTH

TN one word the object of the world
struggle is TRUTH. All mankind
l. is striving after a knowledge Of
the truth which shall make men free,
which shall emancipate the human
family from thralldom to natural
forces, circumstances and environ
ments. In modern times the struggle
for freedom has been amazing, pro-
digious, Titanic. The search for the
truth concerning electricity and its
powers has filled the world with Won
ders. The search for the truth concern
ing the physical conditions which gov
ern the human body has revolutionized
medical science and put surgical skill
on an almost miraculous plane. The
search for the truth concerning mans
relations to time and space has brought
into existence a navy of airships.
But the central truth of all is still
disregarded The social truth is hard
ly needed, although it was a glimmer-
/ ing perception of it which first freed
America from tyrannical imperial rule
and later freed the black slave from
tyrannical American rule.
And yet-tlis is the ultimate and the
greatest truth. 1t will teach humanity
it is part of social system which is
world wide; nay, more, which, in the
opinion of many sages, is not bounded
by the narrow confines of the spinning
globe, but is literally universal" uni
verse-wde. In the house Of the Father
of Truth are many mansions-that is
to say, there is room for every express
sion of truth as we'll as for every soul
that tries to express and live the
truth. Freedom is not earth bound.
Liberty is not restrained by laws of
gravitation. The greater the freedom,
the greater the truth. Every human
movement for emancipation, mental,
moral and physical, is a step toward
the final good. Every days march to
the inspiration of freedoms trumpet
call is a days march nearer HOME.

AUTOMOBILOPOLIS

Justly proud of its membership of
more than 1000 and of it's -four
y ishing condition, the Automobile
club of Southern California may look
forward with confidence to the future.
At it's annual banquet among many
interesting statements made none was
OF more general interest than the fact
that the organization is the second
largest of its kind in the United States.
Beyond reasonable doubt it will yet
be the largest.
For natural and climatic reasons as
we'll as for obvious business reasons
Los Angeles is today the headquarters
of the automobiling industry in the
United States. With the system of
good roads now being built there will
be great additions to the ranks of au-
tomobile owners in Los Angeles and
Southern California and many tourists
will bring their machines here and
will remain during the long eastern
winter.
Southern California is the best au-
tomobiling country in the world In
every respect it is ideal, and with it's
system of good roads will be the most
attractive part of the world for auto
mobile owners. We confidently expect
the addition to Los Angeles of a big
suburb which will be devoted almost
exclusively to the automobile trade.
And if the wits christen Los Angeles
"automo5ilopolis" we cannot quarrel
with them. Metropolitan in everything,
Los Angeles will be metropolitan in
automobile matters.

DON'T TALK; BUILD!

NTR. HARRIMAN'S promised depot
Mh should be built without any
LII more delay. The Southern Pa
cific plea that it must wait until the
government pays it $1,sOO,O00 before
it gives Los Angeles the promised depot
is hardly worth serious discussion. 1t
is both fantastic and frivolous. AS Mr..
Garland has said the Southern Pa
cific quietly secured all the land it
needed. then managed to get possess
sion Of The Fifth street site by promis-
ing positively that a fine new station
would be erected SOON.
Apparently the word "soon" is elias
tic. As a part of the Southern Pacific
vocabulary it may mean something
or it may mean nothing. A Spanish
equivalent for it is "manana." but UNI
der the Stars and Stripes procrastina-
ton is not regarded as a virtue. There
is a universal public demand for n
station that will be a credit to the
city. The good people of Los Angeles
are tired of having to apologize for
the Arcade depot to tourists and new
settlers. Los Angeles should have a
station it can be proud of. not one
that must be apologized for.

CHURCH UNION

MUCH interest has been aroused in
MI church circles by the proposals
4l submitted to the national Epis-
copal conference for church union based
on the following terms:
First-Each denomination to retain
temporarily it's independent existence
governed by it's own laws and officers
subject to the bishop of the diocese as
president and having the sole right OF
ordination and confirmation.
Second-Each denomination to use
the sacramental form and repeat the
creed publicly; in other respects to be
free as to forms of worship.
Third-All ministers to be recognized
as holding a ministerial office and as
possessing the prophetical gift. but to
receive ordination to the priesthood
supplementing what powers they al
ready possess and making them priests
of the church of God.
Fourth-All people to receive con-
firmation and thus to be admitted to
the communion of the Catholic church.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-05-16
A By-Product of Our Penal System

Intercommunion to be encouraged.
Priests to celebrate at each others al
tars. Exchanging pulpits means moth
ing. but blessing affairs means every
thing.
Fifth-Proselyting and rivalry be-
tween churches to cease.
The divisions and creeds of Christen-
dom may be a representation and re-
Election of the natural divisions between
human beings, but to regard each
church as Independent and as a rival
of all the churches is contrary to the
fundamental principles of Christianity.
There is no need that any church
should give up aught which it holds
dear by reason of conviction or of ira
dition, but even as the United States
pull together. each with its state pride
and local sentiment and tradition, but
all with a common interest in the well
fare of the nation, so the united
churches should pull together, each
filling its own place in the field, but all
uniting in a common aim, the moral
and social regeneration of mankind.
