IAPANOGAMY

A MOTHER Japanese groom and
IN white bride marriage has been
IA celebrated. A few years ago
scientist created a sensation by saying
the white man would disappear and
would be replaced by a chocolate
colored type. Everybody thought he
was speaking with reference to the
probable effect of the multiplication OF
the negro race in the United States and
Africa, and, sooth to say, people with
negro blood in their veins are far
more numerous in the world today
than they were a decade back. But
perhaps the scientist also had in mind
the effect of Japanese alliances.
Since no less a person than Edwin
Arnold, one of the greatest thinkers
and writer's of modern times, took
unto himself a Japanese wife, and
since various white men followed his
eminent example, we do not see why
there should be a hullabaloo if white
girls retaliate by choosing gingerbread
spouses. When we shout tare an GUNS
and howly murther over the marriage
of white girls to Japanese men, let us
not forget the custom of Japanese
Caucasian intermarriage was intro
duced by white men.

GERMANY

N ERMANY today is a menace to
T civilization. A proposal to limit
y" naval ornaments has been re-
jected scornfully by the kaisers coun-
sellers. consequently the leading pow
ers of Europe will be engaged in a
neck breaking race for big navies, and
this struggle cannot fail to affect the
United States.
Germany still believes, with all its
heart, that it had a prior claim on
Samoa, Hawaii and the Philippine is
lands, and that it has been deliberate
ly evicted from the Pacific by the pre-
dominant Pacific power with the as
sent and good will of Britain. When
a power of the military spirit and in
stinct of Germany cherishes a belief
of this kind, the belief is apt to warp
it's judgment and cause it to adopt
courses and attitudes which are con-
trary to the policies that make for in
ternational peace.
Germany has also a grievance against
both the United States and the British
empire because of the fact that, in
defiance of the frequently expressed
wishes of the German government the
countries of the republican union and
the imperial federation (for that is
practically what it now is) have given
and continue to give shelter, aid and
comfort to many thousands of young
men who go to the free countries rather
than waste part of their lives in COM
pulsory military service.
The Socialist movement is making
great progress in Germany. and this
may serve to hold German militarism
in check. In the same hour in which
the "jingo" policy of militarism was
announced by way of reply to Brit
ish suggestion that there should be
Limitation of armament, the chancellor
warned the Socialists against "dlsor-
derby agitation" saying if it became
necessary a much stricter law would
be introduced for the purpose of sup
pressing Socialist gatherings and DEM
constructions. 1t is only too evident
Germany is determined to be a trouble
maker.

n NE of the queerest occupations in
which a president of the United
~ States has ever engaged is that
of President Taft these days, when he
is asked to help answer the question,
What is whisky?" Now, what is
whisky? How many people know
Long ago some Scottish clansmen, be-
fore setting out on the war path, put
some barley in a dish and covered it
with water, in order that it might
"steep" and be ready for their meal
when they-or the survivors-returned
from a days work of a somewhat
strenuous character. While on the war
path they were delayed. In fact, weeks
had elapsed before they-that is to say,
the survivors-managed to return home.
Nearly dead with fatigue and hardship,
they rushed to the barley bowl and
gulped down the contents. Astonished
by the effects, they named the stuff
life water" and from the original
BARLEY bree," or uisquebagh, the mod
ern whisky was evolved.
But there is so little real whisky on
the market, and so much imitation
stuff, most injurious to the drinker,
that the best advice to those about to
take a drink of what is called "whis-
KY is, eff you value your life and your
health, DON'T"

A SUGGESTION

A REAL ESTATE dealer of Los An
n geles has made a suggestion
IA which may be of interest to all
who wish to see Greater Los Angeles
become the principal industrial center
of the west. He said: Some eastern
cities from time to time have been
confronted by commercial problems
like that which Los Angeles now faces.
They hDe reached a point of develop
ment where the establishment of new
industries with weekly payrolls was
necessary. Rhode Islands affords one
instance of the success of plan which
may be adopted in order to establish
manufacturing industries. In other
parts Of the east also it has met with
success. This plan is to subsidize GER
tain Industries, even as the national
government subsidies steamship lines
DO not put all the burden on the back
Of the enterprising citizen who invests
his capital, experience and skill in Gre
ating a new business or industry. If
he can show his factory will grow and
will carry a constantly increasing pay
roll, will make and attract business
and will tend to increase the prosper
ity of the city where it is established,
why is it not worth while to subsidize
the industrial venture to such an ex
tent that at any rate the industry
builder will not have TO bear all the
risk and stand all the possible loss at
the outset? The plan has been sue
cessful in various communities"

PROSPERITY

PROSPERITY is indicated by the
- railroad and industrial dividends
Il for March. The sum that is
being distributed today among stock
holders of railroad and industrial cor
porations will reach the gigantic total
of about $155, 900, 900. Last year the sum
was about $14O, $780, 900. OF this years
total the sum of $50, 4SO, 4S4 represents
dividends. Since the result of the presl-
Dental election substituted confidence
for uncertainty twenty-one companies
have put their stock on dlVlaehu-
paving basis for the first time nine
teen have increased their rates. thlr-
teen have distributed extra dividends
eleven that suspended payments dur
ing the panic have started paying diVl-
dends. The country is at work and is
making money. California is enjoy
ing its share of national prosperity
For all who are willing to work there
is employment. ,.,..,.,,
The great increase OF the population
of California, particularly in Los An
eeles. makes the building trade brisk,
and many trades which take their
tone from the building trade are flour
ishing The result of prevailing con-
dtions is general prosperity. The out
look is bright. The path of progress
for Los Angeles is clearly marked
Advancing along this path, the city
will prosper more and more, and there
will be a square deal all around.
One of the distinguishing character
istics of Los Angeles is neighborliness.
The good citizen is always willing to
be helpful to others.
Magnanmity is also prevailing
trait in the population. Where is there
another community the members of
which are so eager to give credit
where credit is due? Where is there
another community in which talent
and experience are so heartily encour-
aged? The Golden Rule is the best
rule in the world for those who make
it, and the most to be dreaded (say the
scriptures) by those who break it. And
the Golden Rule is the rule of pleasant
and lovely Los Angeles.

MAYOR ALEXANDER

n UR square-deal mayor, George AL
exander, having taken oath Of
" office, doubtless realizes all his
troubles are before him. But we know
he will put stout heart to stey brae,
and no task will be too difficult for
him. His official record shows he is
not a gutter, but is a man who con-
siders the evidence, makes up his mind,
and then goes ahead and does what
is right, and that is all that can be ex-
pected of any public servant. 1t is
the wrong-headed holder of public Of
fee who having made up his mind,
goes ahead and does what is wrong,
regardless of public opinion who is to
be dreaded in land of free institutions,
and it is for the warning, reproof and
checking Of such the recall was adopt
ed. But the recall has no terrors for
the faithful official who does his duty.
Mayor Alexander enjoys the conf
dence of the people of this commu-
nifty, and the motives of his official
actions will never be questioned. What
ever he does or leaves undone. undue
influence will never be an attributable
and assignable cause for his conduct.
He is a man of conscience honor, re-
spectability and responsibility, and
when we add to these his shrewd ma
tive wit, his experience and his sagac-
ity, 1t must be confessed, even by those
who opposed him, that the mayor of
Los Angeles possesses every qualif1ca-
ton for the task Of administering the
affairs of this city in a patriotic and
therefore satisfactory manner. Los
Angeles is to be congratulated on the
fact 1t has completely regained the con-
fidence of the financial world, and 1t
is necessary this confidence should be
firmly established and maintained un-
til every one of the great and expen-
sive undertakings now being carried
out are completed successfully.
We needed a mayor whom the COM
munity could trust and whom the ma
ton would respect. We have him: and
for the sake of Los Angeles as well as
for that of the worthy mayor we hope
his administration will be marked by
civic progress and prosperity.

ALL FOOLS DAY

"EAVEN in its wisdom having de-
III creed there must be fools in the
IL world as we'll as wise folk, our
pious ancestors appointed a patron
saint of all fools, and dedicated day
to honoring human folly. The day was
celebrated yesterday, and there were
many signs and tokens that the occa-
sion of the feast had not passed with
the aging of the world. In Los An
geles we celebrated the inauguration
of wise new mayor to take the place
of one who had sacrificed his office to
his patron saint
The British announced back-break-
ing program of Dreadnaught building.
They seem to be more attached than
ever to the folly of exchanging years
of human industry and energy in re-
turn for huge engines of destruction
Britannia rules the waves" but
what's the use? AS that hard-headed
old Briton, King Canute, remarked
Given the monarch can't stop the
waves from coming up on the beach"
Hartman gave another interview, in
which he said the government should
be managed more economically, and
with sublime confidence in the first OF
April character of the people he left
them Illuminating over the exalted wis
dom of this profound remark while he
turned his attention to playing the
same old railroad game in the same
old way.
The arms and ammunition manufac-
turers of Europe continued to do a
land Office business in the Caucasus
regions, and magnates of the powder
trust spent the forenoon in supplica-
ton at the shrine of the patron saint of
fools, urging him to get up a few war
scares and, if possible, arrange for
some big battles
And so, all the world over, the
wicked went on troubling and the
weary had no rest.

WRITER GIVES LINE ON
HIS IDEA OF THE DEVIL

Los ANGELES, March 31.-[Editor
Herald: Several correspondents to
the Letter Box have gotten perplexed
over the nature of the devil. If he
could once be located there would be
a show to examine and define him,
hoofs, horns and tail. SO far, how
ever, he remains but a tabled person
age, like Santa Claus. The following
biography of the devil may help to
explain the origin and the nature OF
Split Foot: The old Persian Magi be-
lieved that there existed an eternal
conflict between two equal and CO.
eternal principles of light and dark
ness, good and evil, Ormuzd and Ahri-
man, the latter of which the Jews
imported into their Scriptures after
the captivity, under the name of the
serpent, symbolism which was later
turned into 1.-THE Devil" In the Scrip
lures are nine devils: Beelzebub, the
prince of the false gods of other ma
tons; the Pythian Apollo, the prince
of liars; Belial, the prince of mischief
makers; Asmodeus, the prince OF re-
vengeful devils; Satan. the prince of
witches, wizards and sorcerers; Mere
sin, the prince of flying devils, who
caused thunderstorms and plaques;
Abaddon, prince of those who caused
tumults, wars and combustions; Di-
abolos, the prince of those who drove
to despair and Mammon. the prince of
all the tempters. Far In advance of
all modern combinations, the theolog-
ians turned all the nine devils into q
devil trust, now known in religion and
commerce as 1.-THE Devil"

THE WORKMEN

N URING March the American rec
ID ord for tunneling for any one
~ month was for the second time
broken. The aqueduct work is not only
making history, but making records.
Los Angeles is a record-breaking city,
and Southern California is a record
breaking section of record breaking
state.
The magnificent engineering work
which is going on for the benefit and
improvement of Los Angeles is not
only one of the greatest undertakings
of modern times, but one of the most
successful. Engineers all over the
world are pointing to it as triumph
ant example of modern methods and
modern skill. When we say 1t will
make every one connected with it IA
nous. we should not forget that there
are many who will not achieve distinc-
ton. The loyal workingmen win not
be remembered, although there is not
a resident of Los Angeles who will not
be benefited by their faithful toll.
We hope a complete list of all the
men employed on aqueduct construc-
ton work may yet be obtained and
published, and that it may be consid-
cred as a roll of honor. The men who
are building the aqueduct should never
have to complain of being "out of a
job and hard up"

ten
ing story. Congress was not SATISFIED
with the condition of manufactures In
the nation, and in Jenuary, 1890, passed
a resolution calling upon the secretary
of the treasury for a detailed state
ment concerning them, together with
suggestions for their stimulation. win
a thoroughness never surpassed, ana
seldom equaled, Hamilton proceeded to
collect all available data. He spent
nearly two years in the preparation Of
the statement. When he submitted 1t
to congress he gave to the world the
Bible of Protection. Friend and foe or
that doctrine alike admit that Hamil-
ton stated the case in the most faVora-
BILE light possible.
The plan of his report is very sim
ple. First he states the case against
protection as clearly and concisely as
any one could. Then he turns the
guns of his argument upon the struct-
ure thus reared and RACES 1t to the
complete satisfaction of all protection
lists. Then he proceeds to rear his
own edifice of protection in its stead,
and he uses every available piece or
fact timber to the best advantage. He
gets right down to the very fundamen-
tails. And with remarkable fidelity the
protectionists ever since have stuck to
the Bible he gave them.
But the advocates of revenue tariff
do not construe the Hamilton report
as it is now interpreted by their OPP
ponents. In the first place, they assert
that it's arguments are well made, but
not we'll taken. They say that even
Hamilton never had any visions of pro-
lection being carried as far as it has
been. Likewise, they insist that it did
not represent the views of the nation.
DIR. Henry C. Adams says that ii fails
to prove that either Hamilton or con-
gress were the high protectionists they
are represented as being.
At the beginning of the second ses-
sion of the first congress Hamilton. as
secretary of the treasury, submitted
his estimates for the year. These called
for nearly four times as much money
for interest as was required for the
maintenance of the government. The
estimates called for 100000 for ex-
penses and $2,239,000 for meeting the
interest on the domestic and foreign
debt. Hamilton recommended an in
ternal revenue tax on spirits, liquors,
wines, etc, in order to swell the reve-
nue.. But congress was not willing,
and this proposition was overwhelm-
ingly defeated. Then the bill to in
crease the tariff rates was taken up,
debated, passed and signed by the
president all within fifty days. Con-
