MORAL TRAINING

HROM Tacoma, Wash, comes news
of a movement which has the
"A support of the advocates of female
suffrage there and gives the country
an example of what might be expected
if women are allowed to vote and leg
islate. BY the Washington reformers
| it is proposed that all women who ap-
ply for marriage licenses must be sub
jeeted to a civil service examination.
The subjects of examination will be
spiritual. physical and moral raising
and environment of child. A humane
officer of great experience testiffes he
has been reluctantly compelled to
reach the conclusion that mothers are
chiefly to blame for children acquiring
a perverse development ending in crime
and degeneracy."
The importance of children in the
economy of modern humankind is
strangely moderated. This has been
illustrated with remarkable force dur
ing recent years, when much has been
said and written about the number of
Young children who are at work in
stead Of at school or at play. But ju-
venile labor is still being employed.
Child labor laws are being lodged.
WHY?
Here is one reason why: People don't
care.
If people began to care, child labor
soon would be unknown. When a. Gus
toner enters a factory or store in
which children are employed he says,
This is too bad But it's none of my
business. Probably the youngsters need
the money to take home"
And yet the boys and girls of the
United States who are furnishing cheap
labor, prematurely compelled to earn a
living, are as precious in the sight of
heaven as the children were of whom
Jesus said tenderly: Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me, and forbid them
not: for of such is the kingdom of
God"
Advocates of equal suffrage in pro-
posing to increase the sense of the
moral responsibility of mothers are en-
gagged in work in which they should
have the solid support of the nation.
Character and conduct to a consider
able extent depend on the maternal
training. If mothers will begin to give
their children the old-fashioned moral
training, THE OLD-FASHIONED
SENSE OF MORAL RESPONSIBLE
1TY. SOON WILL BE RESTORED IN
THE UNITED STATES OF AMER

ART AND CULTURE

~ EORGEA w. KELSEY in an in
T terview published in Los Angeles
~ Herald said: Interest in art and
culture is keener in Los Angeles than
in any other place in America" That
is a fact, and unless the artistic tenn
permanent is starved out by the COM
mercial instinct nothing can prevent
Los Angeles from becoming the center
of art, culture, literature and education
iii the United States. We hope to see
the continued growth of a sense of fair
play that will lead local capitalists to
develop rather than to exploit the tai
ented people who are attracted to Los
Angeles by advertisements issued by
the capitalists.
Culture and candor go together, and
there is not the slightest relationship
between art and artif1ce. We believe a
spirit of local pride is being developed
which will make honor a prime consid-
Grafton in Greater Los Angeles, and
will make grating of any kind an
abomination to all the citizens of the
cleanest, greatest, best and most beau
tiful city in the western world

RICHES AND MORALS

~ -CHES are not evil The posses
X sion of them is not a sin. The
~ Bible denounces the possessor of
ill-gotten gains. But it also records
the fact that Jesus was on good terms
with several millionaires, and that for
His entombment the family vault of
one of them was used. The Herald re-
fuses to believe poverty is crime and
refuses to acquiesce in the punishment
inflicted on the poor At the same time
If deprecates the injustice that would
condemn a wealthy man because of his
wealth. unless it can be proved his
fortune is merely what in franker
age of fortnight baronialism would
have been called loot.
The possession of riches, however
frequently leads to evil consequences,
which are offenses against society.
The anarchist who takes it out in
talk and tells what he would do If
he had the power is not as serious
menace to society as the rich man or
woman who mocks matrimony by
recklessly immoral conduct and COM
DGlS the IidllAiiiOAAltNi pa SAtNA ~ $500
freedom in the divorce court.
Another menace to society is the rich
man or woman who obtains divorce
for the purpose of seeking another
partner-an affinity or soulmate, or
some such euphemistic verbal light
o'-love.
Society's remedy is obvious. In or
der to protect itself from the conse-
quences of that disregard for the obli-
cations Of the matrimonial estate
which is especially noticeable among
the over-rich one of whom, Frank J.
Gould. is found to be guilty, as
charged in the complaint, Of infdeli-
ty," the offender should be indicted on
a criminal complaint, and if jury
should also find him guilty he should
he sent to states prison. His offense
is much more serious than burglary
or embezzlement, or forgery. Then
why pretend it is not? Why will So
ciety insist on befooling itself in re-
spect of violations of society's most
sacred Institution?

THE SUNDAY BEAN

his campaign against Sunday
Il drunkenness circular letters have
been sent to restaurant keepers tell
ing them meals a meal for a that
and must not be reduced to ridicule in
order that Sunday thirst may be sur
reptitiously slaked. The lonesome bean
is out of business. Remote, unfriend-
ed, solitary, slow, it is the chiefs de-
cree the bean must go.
No restaurant man can say he has
not received due warning as to what
is expected of him today.
According to the ordinance, a restau-
rant is place fully equipped with mod
ern conveniences for cooking and pre-
pairing victuals, where hot meals are
actually served at least three times a
day and at least six days in the week.
A bona fide meal consists of such guam
tity and quality of food as is ordinarily
served for a meal in hotels or restau-
rants.
Within the provisions of the ordi-
nance merely sandwiches or lunches or
crackers or cheese cannot be consid-
cred a bona fide meal. Neither the

stitutS for a square meal will be ac-
cepted as an excuse for serving Spirit

HOTEL MEN

w ELCOME, Brother Boniface!
w No better news has been pub
lished in Greater Los Angeles
than the announcement next years
national convention of the Hotel Mens
Mutual Benefit association probably
will be held in our city. John S. Nit
chell, the president of the local organi-
cation, is quoted as having said:
I'VE haye bright prospects of getting
next years convention. The associa-
ton has just concluded this years con-
Vention at Chattanooga, Tenn, and the
reports are the members of the commit
tee are thinking of Los Angeles very
favorably Probably 5000 would come
The hotel men held their convention
in Los Angeles twelve years ago, and
l can truthfully say they have been
the most faithful and effective boost
ers this city has had since that time.
1t will mean a great deal to Los An
geles to have next years convention
for we shall then make an even bet
ter impression than we did twelve
years since"
Los Angeles is the HHSSl HolSi SllS
on earth. And all the splendid hotels
in our metropolitan area are success
full OF thousands of tourists it may
be said that to a great extent they
derive their impression of Los An
geles from the hotels and their treat
ment by the hotels, and the excellent
reputation Los Angeles enjoys all over
the world is doubtless due in some
measure to the general excellence OF
our hotels.

ADVICE TO HEIRESSES

BRITISH nobleman has opened
n his mouth and put his foot in it,
IA He called the Countess Granard
dumped" American heiress. Now
the Countess Granard was formerly
Miss Beatrice Mills of New York, and
belongs to the family which provided
bride for w. Reid of the Tribune.
After insulting the Mills family and
W. Reid, the unhappy nobleman was
forced to make a public apology. In
order to avoid such comments as that
which was resented justly by the
friends of her ladyship. our American
heiresses should adopt a new business
policy Let them bring their noblemen
to the United States and put them on
exhibition here.
Cards would read this way: "At
home. Nee Miss Ritchie and her Duke
of Bilgewater." This will give the pub
lie "a line on what has really hap
pened When the foreign noblemen are
at homed by their American purchas-
ers they should be displayed in a way
that will impress the American public
with the prowess and daring of the
American dollar.
The walls of the rooms in which they
are exhibited should be covered with
coats of arms and family portraits. of
which a descriptive catalogue should
be supplied.
In the middle Of the reception room
the foreign nobleman's transplanted
family tree should be exhibited in a
gilded tub. An orchestra should play
appropriate tunes while the heiress is
explaining her nobleman and his fam
lily tree The captive should be COM
PEELED to sell his autographs, and the
money thus raised should be devoted
to the purchase of pants for Mexican
hairless dogs or TO some other equally
worthy object Thus the imported
nobleman would become useful as we'll
as ornamental.

GREATEST POWERS

! IN HREE most powerful civilized ma
tions are the United States,
Il United Kingdom with its empire
and Germany Hardly less remarkable
than the fact they are the three most
powerful nations is the fact they are
kindred nations. Not only by COM
paratively recent immigration and in
termarrlages, but by origins, they are
linked.
From time to time the history of
these three kindred nations has been
marked by outbursts of almost frantic
jealousy To students of human nature
these outbursts and actu;' quarrels
and wars prove the kinship of the
three. There are no quarrels as savage
and bitter and destructive as family
quarrels Unless there is friendly in
tervention, or unless common sense
prevail, there may be another quarrel
between the three. The United King
dom and Germany are jointly RESPONSE
BILE for modern Europe, By their
united efforts they adjusted" it in
the earlier part of the nineteenth CEN
fury, and later Germany, after fightin@
France, again altered the map
At this time a war between Britain
and Germany would be hardly less dis
astrous to the worlds interests than
war between the United States and the
United Kingdom. And it would inter-
fere so much with the trade and COM
merce of the United States it would
be absolutely impossible to prevent this
country from being inyoved-let us
hope in the role of peacemaker. 1t is
greatly to the interest OF the United
States that the Dreadnaught competi-
ton between the United Kingdom and
Germany should be ended and that our
two kindred nations should settle their
dispute in a civilized manner
No one has yet been able to give a
good reason for the emotional rage of
many of the British against their old
friends and allies, the Germans. Tho
two nations have never been at war;
in fact, have never had any serious
quarrel until now; and even now. be-
yond unreasonable jealousy, there is
no cause for quarrel. If the United
States, Germany and the British en-
pire were to make a joint agreement to
preserve the peace of the world, peace
and prosperity would be absolutely
guaranteed.
