THE LIMIT

MOOD citizens of Los Angeles feel
II keenly the disgrace which has
VI been brought upon the city by the
indictment of former police commits
sioner on the odious charge of attempt
ing to bride one of his fellow public
officials The charge, be it said, consti-
tutes almost the worst case of boodling
in all the crooked annals of modern
American metropolitan life. Other cities
have suffered because corporations have
bribed officials, or because individuals
seeking special privileges have bribed
officials, but it has remained for Los
Angeles to furnish the world a startling
example of a brand new phase or style
of "boodling." 1t is a novelty in the
history of boodling in metropolitan
cities to find an instance where the
allegation is made that a trusted but
untrustworthy public official tried to
bride another trusted and trustworthy
public official to prevent him from do
ing his duty. There is only one express
sion which describes the situation. 1t
is slang, but it fits the case: This is
the limit"

GREATER LOS ANGELES

REATER LOS ANGELES is on
eT the program, and should soon be
VI on the map. The committee of
fifteen has a membership thoroughly
representative of the varied interests
of Los Angeles. All the citizens on the
committee have one motive in common,
a desire to see consolidation effected
in business like fashion, and in such
a way that the interests of the people
tees will be protected. Not a single
member of the committee can be ac-
cused of having an FAX to grind" All
are devoted to the welfare of our
thriving and ambitious commercial
metropolis, and all realize the impor-
lance of starting right" and Of CIV
ing Greater Los Angeles the oppor-
tunity for a metropolitan career and
expansion that will never be hindered
by any complications caused by posi-
BILE defects in plan of consolidation.
With the sea port of San Pedro, Los
Angeles ere long will be the principal
maritime and commercial city of the
far west. By its enterprise, by It's
grit, by it's willingness to make sure
all is right before it goes ahead, by
it's resolution to keep municipal politics
clean and to exclude from Office I'M
desirable persons who are guilty of
conduct unbecoming representative
citizens, Los Angeles has won golden
opinions in every part of the civilized
world.
But the city will be incomplete I'M
til consolidation is accomplished. Let
all good citizens now unite in taking
an active interest in the future for
tunes of our remarkable city, of which
we may well be proud, and do what
they can to help the committee of
fifteen in the work for Greater Los
Angeles.

MAYOR ALEXANDER

NY the triumphant election of George
X Alexander as mayor of Los An
~ geles the efficacy of the recall is
demonstrated. The former mayor was
recalled" as thoroughly as If he had
waited for the censure which an in
dignant public would have expressed
at the polls. When he resigned under
fire a candidate representing the So
cialists was chosen to contest the
mayoralty with the peoples candidate,
and the pro-vice papers made no secret
of the fact they were exultantly an
ticipating a possible defeat of Mr.. AL
exander by a machine-made plot. 1t
was fondly believed enough citizens
would stay away from the polls lin
response to suggestions made urgently
by the Times) or would vote for the
Socialist in order to crafty their spite
against the recallers, to make the sue
cess of the Socialist by no means an
impossibility. Machine politicians and
newspapers were hoping for the sue
cess of the Socialist, and if they We're
not actively working for it openly,
they We're conniving at it and convey
ing to their readers the suggestion that
between our excellent mayor and the
Socialist the public was between the
devil and the deep sea-" Which, in the
opinion of the reactionary and OBJ
structionist organ. was to be con-
sidered the devil and which the deep
sea was not stated explicitly, but from
the hostility displayed toward Mayor
Alexander it was painfully evident our
misguided contemporary expected the
public to infer the Socialist candidate
was the deep sea.
With customary good sense, the cit
liens of Los Angeles disregarded the
disloyal and unpatriotic suggestion
they should stay away from the polls
and allow the Socialist to win. They
went to the polls and they voted for
George Alexander, exactly as The
Herald. which has a very high opinion
of the common sense of the members
of this community, expected and said
they would.
In the election of Mayor Alexander
not only is the recall principle vim
Dictated beyond further cayil or future
question, but the steps taken by citi-
zens of Los Angeles to substitute for
an uncertain, unsatisfactory and
menacing condition of municipal gov
eminent stable, dependable, confidence
inspiring and prosperity producing con-
ditions have been amply justified.
The citizens of Los Angeles made
sure they were right. Then they went

ahead; and the recall campaign, in
which The Herald has been proud to
take an active, nay strenuous part, has
been brought to a satisfactory and
logical conslusion by the triumphant
election of George Alexander.
Now let us give our new mayor the
city's solid support and help in the
performance of the grave duties which
he must discharge.
Let us make him realize he is the
peoples mayor, that the people are
with him, sympathize with him. appre-
ciate the difficulties of his position,
know he will do his duty. and will help
him all they can.
All together. good citizens: HELP
Mayor Alexander and boost Greater
Los Angeles.
To Mayor Alexander The Herald ex-
tends hearty congratulations on his
well deserved honor and gives him
warmest wishes for SUCCESS.

OBSERVER Is ANSWERED BY
WOMAN SUFFRAGE CHAMPION

LOS ANGELES, March 26.-[Editor
Herald: The observation of Observer
seems to be limited and chiefly con-
fined to the redlight district. His ap-
parent animus against Sarah Platt
Decker, the queen of official clubdom,
who is known in club circles as an adj
vocate OF equal suffrage, has the ring
of the tenderloin boss, who would r1vet
the shackles of masculine dictation on
all women, as they have them now on
the denizens of the underworld.
Take off your lurid glasses, Observer,
and note two facts:
First that womans suffrage is adj
yancine all over the world and that
your waving redlight flags will not
change the worlds history. Also that
Colorado and Idaho are not the only
states granting full suffrage to women.
as your letter states.
Second, compare the work Of the po-
litical machine which fought the recall
in Los Angeles with the efforts of the
machine to Dust Ben Lindsay from the
position of juvenile court judge of Dem
yer. for the sole reason that 1t could
not corrupt him. Take cognizance of
the fact that the machine men norni-
mated against him were entirely lost IN
the avalanche of votes cast for Lind
say. Not the votes of machine polltl-
clans, ward heelers or tenderloin bosses,
but of respectable men and women,
with heavy woman vote, cast almost
entirely for Lindsay.
The letter of Observer, with the ami
mus of it's contents, was fittingly
placed in juxtaposition to the splendid
letter of A. H. D., who tells us how
the inmates of the redlight district are
made the victims of mans avarice and
degraded vice. phe ballot means noth-
ing to these lost SOULS they are here
today, somewhere else tomorrow. They
die at the rate of $4,000 a year; their
places are taken by 10000 more fair
young daughters Of our land who are
iured to ruin. Think of it. We mothers
whom Observer calls "desexed indi-
yiduals," and ask yourselves If you
can sit quiet in your homes in the face
of such facts and leave the fate of
your sisters in the hands of such men,
who if they are not ".desexed" are
many times dehumanlzed and wholly
unfit to decide the status of woman
kind. MARION MARTIN.

We cannot believe any good citizen

that has been made by those respon-
sible for interference with the bond
election. We hope the mischief that
has been done will not cause more than
temporary embarrassment to the plans
of those who have. at heart the educa-
tional interests of Los Angeles. Serious
indeed would be the cause which would
Justify an attempt to prevent the legal
expenditure of money voted for much

TAXATION

VIZ AYNE MACVEAGH has startled
w the conservatives of the east by
" asking a question. Before re-
peating the question we remind our
readers that Wayne MacVeagh was
attorney general in President Garfield's
cabinaH His brother, Franklin Mac
Veagh, is secretary of the treasury.
Therefore, the clan MacVeagh does not
represent the excitable or dangerous
class.
Wayne MacVeagh asked Chairman
Payne of the house committee on ways
and means. "If new taxes must be i'm
posed, why should the colossal incomes
and the colossal accommodations of the
possessors of what Mr. Carnegie him.
self calls surplus wealth continue to be
exempted from proper taxation?"
Mr.. MacVeagh has supplemented the
startling question with a vigorous let
ter in which he says in Pittsburg, the
home of the builders of mammoth for
tunes, unskilled laborers can hardly
make a living, having "too narrow
margin"
Mr.. MacVeagh AYERS respectable
rich men would prefer to pay taxes
that would deprive them of no luxury
rather than see increasing burdens
heaped upon those less fortunate
brothers, whose lives are passed in
that increasing calculation of sorrow
where hard toll sometimes provides
and sometimes fails to provide-suf-
ficient daily bread" Mr.. MacVeaghs
conclusion, very emphatically and
vigorously stated, is. we should tax
wealth, not poverty. The very fact of
poverty is taxation. Poverty is
tax on life.' We talk a great deal
about multi-millionaires. Why not talk
about the men at the other pole--the
poverty bound, the men whose lives
are hampered and made meager, whose
wives are starved whose children are
robbed, by grim deprivation? If Mr..
MacVeagh's proposal to tax the rich
will ameliorate the condition of the
poor, it is only right his suggestion
should be taken seriously and acted or.
If, however. the rich, by way of re-
prisal, should recoup themselves ct the
expense of the poor by raising rents
and lowering wages, the tax on for
tunes would make the condition Of the
poor worse than ever.

PRAISES ROOSEVELT ON
DEPARTURE FOR AFRICA

LOS ANGELES, March 26.-[Editor
Heraldl The eastern press dispatches
of the last few days bring to us news
of an inspiring and encouraging spec
tacle from which deep lessons can be
cleaned.
The departure OF former President
Roosevelt for the African jungle In
quest of lions and tigers, leaving the
Wall street jungle to the bulls and
bears in their never ceasing pastime of
shearing lambs has been made the OPP
portunity of spontaneous expression
of good will and approval from all sorts
and kinds of people, which indicates
sharp awakening OF the public con-
science to the value of the square
DEAF policy.
This hearty farewell OF the American
people was not given because of ''muni-
ficent public benefactions" In the form
of libraries, fountains, educational liz
stitutes, etc., derived from merciless
business methods but purely and simply
because of a persistent, fearless, force
full stand for moral rectitude and just
procedure as opposed to the most
subtle, selfish and soulless influences,
prompted by the fallacious reasoning
that success Is measured by the dollar
mark"
The effect of Mr.. Rooseyelt's acts will
live and remain power for a higher
standard of ethics in industrial finan-
cial affairs long after he has passed
over to the other side."
The axiom that 1.-The evil men do lives
after them, the good is oft inferred
with their bones" will be reversed in
his case Mr.. Roosevelt will not have
to die that history may write him."
So potent have been his deeds for good
that he Is already recorded in the
hearts of the people, which is but an
other name for "history."
At this same time a mournful wall
comes to us from representative of
the mammon policy. Satiated with
gold, bankrupt in all else, I'm the
loneliest woman in the world. is her
cry, and we witness q "scorching to
make good with God" through af-
fiuant public donations of other votaries
of the god of good. Is not the scrip
tural injunction Choose we this day
whom thou wilt serve" a trite and
practical one and can the thinking man
question which will bring him true sue
cess.
A bon voyage and safe return to Mr..
Roosevelt. G. H. LEWIS.

HISTORIC FACTS WHICH
SUPPORT RESURRECTION

LONG BEACH March 26.-LEditor
Herald: The Duarte student is In the
tolls. He had said that there was no
historic basis for the fact OF the res
direction of Christ, and asked some
BODY to give him the name OF any ms
torian of the times who referred 10 the
fact. I gave him the name OF Seisus
who admits the basis OF the fact, out
not the fact itself. He says he LOOK
the story from the writings of the
Christians. All right. Then there was
q basis for the claim, hence the claim
is historic. The Students question is
answered and CELSIUS answers that he
found the claim in the writings of the
apostles. Then / gave him Josephus'
testimony that the claim was made
even in his day that he appeared to the
disciples after his resurrection. Now,
there are two testimonies of two an
cient historians supporting the basis OF
the claim, IL not the claim itself
Then I gave him another testimony
the testimony of my own eyes-grave-
stones telling of the belief In the resur-
rection as early as the year 81 A. d.
Now what did these testimonies
prove? They proved beyond cavil
that the apostolic writings, which are
the basis of the fact, are authentic and
historic. That much, then, Is settled.
I1eTt Is a. illSlOfiC ShHPOAhV0 W
three ancient testimonies that cannot
be gainsaid, and even the Student adj
mits them, for he says "Of course,
the early Christians believed In the res
direction" The Student having denied
that there was any historic basis for
the fact now changes his front and
comes back to me with the question,
What proof have you that the state
ment in the Bible is correct?
might ask him what proof have you
that the statements in Origin. made by
CELSIUS, were ever made by him? You
believe them, don't you? Origin says
that CELSIUS said he did not believe the
fact, and you believe CELSIUS. Paul says
he saw him after his resurrection, and
! five hundred others saw him, and be-
| lieve Paul on the same basis of proof
that you say you believe CELSIUS. Now,
what want to ask the Student is this
simple question: Why do you accept
CELSIUS philosophizing about the fact,
and reject Paul's testimony and make
him liar? Paul says James told him
that Christ had appeared to him after
| his resurrection. CELSIUS says 1t can't
be. Better take the witnesses and let
| the philosophizing go. J.. L. S.
