GOOD GOVERNMENT

GOD government organization like
~ that which has been formed by
W representative citizens of Los
Angeles has a wider scope than any
existing society. 1t will deal with mu-
nicipal politics along non-partisan
lines. 1t will unite and organize the
various forces of good government in
Los Angeles. 1t will organize in each
precinct good government club,
which shall be represented in the
councils Of the organization by one Of
it's members or officers. 1t will indorse
and support worthy candidates for cleo
ton to office, and will oppose the nom
nation and election of unfit men to
office. It will maintain an active or
ganization for the purpose of promot-
ing and advancing all movements for
the advantage and welfare of Los An
geles.
The various influences at work for
the Improvement of Los Angeles should
gladden. the hearts of optimists. The
future of city which can depend on
the efficient help of its most efficient
citizens in all the important steps it
takes is assured. Eternal vigilance is
the price of good government, and good
government is the price of prosperity.
Both of good government and of pros
perity Los Angeles is assured.

MAKES TIMELY SUGGESTION
REGARDING BATHING SUITS

PASADENA, May 3.-[Editor Her
add: Now that the bathing season is
near we shall doubtless read the time
honored but sadly misapplied jokes
about the infnitesimal bathing suits
worn by the women.
AS a matter of fact, anyone who mas
travelled knows that the American wo-
man bather and athlete wears great
deal more clothing than her European
sister. British women bathers scorn
to wear stockings and most of them
will not wear skirts, but battle in
sensible costume of waist and bloom
ers, the younger girls generally wear
ing straps over the shoulders ana the
older women short sleeves. Staid Brit
ish matrons and modest young women
lift their ordinary skirts to the knees
and wade in the surf barelegged with
the children. The incredulous are re-
spectfully referred to the British fash
ion papers and illustrated newspapers.
But it is the costume or rather lack
of costume of the American male attn
letes and bathers, the underwear worn
on the streets and the open front bar
Der shops that reflect so much on the
modesty of American men as COM
pared with Britishers. The contrast
between the codes of modesty for
American women and men is startling.
At the local beaches our women and
girls OF tender age are COulpSllcQ "
look at scores of half-naked men who
parade about and wallow in the sand
and whose costumes approach so close
ly in linear measurements to the IN
decent that occasionally one of them is
arrested l have personally seen many
instances where arrests should have
been made. And these men, certainly
not gentlemen, will sprawl on the
beach and faunt their nakedness be-
fore and near sensitive and modest
girls and women
If women here consider it necessary
to clothe their shoulders and legs be-
low the knees when bathing before
men. surely their husbands, brothers
and fathers should cover their shoul-
ders and their legs at least to the
knees when bathing with women.
The chief of police of one of the
lake cities said that bathing suit
should cover the body from the shout
ders to the knees and that anything
more was unnecessary and anything
less immodest. The Atlantic City
bathing suits for men comply with this
defnition. Why should Southern Cali
fornia fall below the greatest of east
ern resorts in the modesty of its male
bathers' costumes?

GREATER LOS ANGELES

n position to Greater Los Angeles
is silent, but not subdued. When
" the voice of the Little Los An
geles and Small San Pedro yapper is
not heard in the land, there is reason
able ground for suspicion there's mis-
chief a-brewing. Perhaps, however,
staggered by the overwhelming senti-
ment in favor of Greater Los Angeles
which has been developed, the corpora
ton interests which are seeking to ex-
cite local prejudices and inhame arti-
hcial animosities m their effort to pre-
vent the patriotic prof of the Greater
Los Angeles boosters from being put
into effect, have concluded to do their
attempted dispiriting OF the movement
gently.
Greater Los Angeles with San Pedro
harbor will constitute the finest seaport
city In the west To this harbor will
come a generous share of the commerce
Of the Pacific, and. after the opening of
the Panama canal. of that of the Allan
tic as we'll. Greater Los Angeles, with
its seaport, will have a future which
will far surpass any dreamed of in the
days before the canal project was
talked of, when it was popularity be-
lieved Los Angeles would not be able
to develop maritime commerce and
would be a perpetual feoff of a greedy,
grasping railroad corporation
With a good harbor and good roads,
the potentialities of Los Angeles will
be added to immensely, and they will
be potentialities that will have to do
with commercial independence. Our
readers who are well posted on the
national and international aspects of
the Greater Los Angeles matter do not
need to be told that the impression
created by opposition to the plans for
the progress and development of the
city is that the opposition is founded
on sheer selfshness, and other motives
of a most questionable character en-
tirely discreditable to human nature
The patriotic citizens of Los Angeles
and San Pedro are united in believing
the best interests of the future are
bound UP In the successful fruition of
the plans for the consolidation of the
cities forming Greater Los Angeles, the
maritime metropolis of the west.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

NHIEF DISHMAN'S activity with re-
gard to the enforcement of the
~ law against blind pigs and illegal
Sunday liquor selling has taken the
form Of personal investigation; and
when, with a plain clothes member of
the police force, he visited the Sonora
town restaurants on Sunday, he found
conditions existing exactly as described
by The Herald, which has called atten-
ton repeatedly to lawlessness with
which several so-called restaurants
have been conducted. Especially true
is this with regard to the section where
several robberies and murder added
grewsome emphasis and point to the
statements of The Herald regarding
places which violated the law.
AS a result of his confirmation Of
allegations originally made in the news
and editorial columns of The Herald,
Chief Dishman asked the revocation Of
four restaurant liquor licenses. In its
published accounts of the fake res
taurants, The Herald said stale bread
and beans like bullets did duty as meals
to excuse the sale of liquor, and the
Chief used almost the same language in
describing what he had seen, showing
that during the period between The
Herald's publications with regard to
the fake restaurants and the present
time these precious institutions have
not thought worth while to change
their method of doing business, evil
IDENTIFY believing, for some obscure rea-
son that Chief Dishman may bring to
light, that they were immune" and
would not be interfered with by the
police, no matter what the newspapers
said.
Many gratifying signs show Los An
geles is beginning to experience the
biggest cleaning up in modern history.
It will be a colossal task, unless the
liquor interests take warning, accept
the advice of the Model License league,
whose emissary is doing missionary
work in Los Angeles, and begin to
make strict obedience to the letter and
the spirit of law the chief aim of their
business policy. With respect for the
law thoroughly restored in Los An
geles, and with all traces of the old
regime of official inefficiency or worse
removed, we will all be prouder than
ever OF our peerless city.

DISCIPLINE

TN order to show It is in earnest in
its resolution to have discipline
4 among the police the police COM
mission dismissed from the force pa
ltrolman accused of contumely. A fell
low officer had pushed his elbow off a
newspaper. and some violent language
had followed When the patrolman
whose elbow had been jostIed was
asked to make a written report he re-
fused
'Horseplay and misconduct must
cease" was the mayors comment
I'VE must have discipline. The city is
spending large sums for a first-class
force. and If discipline is not given the
money is wasted"
We have not seen any record of the
censure of the officer who caused the
trouble by jogging the elbow of the
discharged man, but probably he
obeyed orders and submitted the writ
ten report required. The insubordina-
ton consisted in refusing to obey
superior officer. Even. although a sense
Of injustice was ranking at his heart,
the man dismissed should have obeyed.
If any man, but especially an officer,
should think he is unjustly treated, let
him be all the more jealous and faith
full.
The discipline of the police force is
as important as that of the military.
Obedience to orders, even when the
person to whom they are given cher
ishes the opinion they are unjust, is
one of the first requisites of success In
any service.
Other things being equal, a force
which is accustomed to regard discip-
line and obedience is a better force
than one in which there is any laxity.
In Los Angeles we should have the best
police force in the world, because the
men of the force are the best in the
world-the pick of the nation.

INSISTS BIBLE HOLDS KEYS

METROPOLITAN DEPOT

to make Mr.. Hartman keep his word. .
This is a problem which at various
times in the modern history of the
United States has cropped up, and Mr..
Hartman has not always been the al
legged culprit. How can promises
which depend on business honor for
their fulfillment be enforced? Debts
of honor are hard to collect. Promises
Of honor are hard to realize. Alas, poor
human naturel
Los Angeles should have the finest
depot in the west. 1t deserves the best.
From every point of view it is worthy

settlers who arrive here derive their
