APPEAL FOR DE LARA IS
MADE BY AMERICAN WOMAN

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19.-[Editor
Herald: With much surprise I read In
this mornings Herald the account of
the arrest of the Mexican patriot, De
Lara. 1t was my good fortune TO near
Mr. De Lara speak a few months ago.
and what did he advicate? A constltu-
tional government for his native coun-
try. He showed that the present gov
ernment of Mexico is a dictatorship,
that the constitution is not followed,
and the rights of the people are set at
naught. De Lara is a lawyer, and ne
spoke with the careful analytical rea-
soning of the legally trained mind.
Is it possible that any man is arrest
edn on American soil for advocating
such reasonable measurers, Indeed,
when one reads the appalling conditions
of the people in Mexico as set forth by
writer's of repute in our own magazines,
one cannot but feel that not only
should Mexicans demand change, but
that liberty-loving people everywhere
should 1oin in the demand. For II the
enslaVed condition of the unhappy peo-
pie of Mexico is not relieved by educa-
tional measures such as Mr.. De Lara
advocated, there is certainly danger OF
uprisings and bloodshed; for history
teaches that people will not always
tamelv submit Little is gained by
violent turmoils, yet that is what tyr
annv-always causes. Every American
citizen who loves liberty, and at the
same time wants peace and progress
should uphold teachers like De Lara
And above all things, do not permit an
execution like that of the worthy Prof
Ferrer to take place at our door.
To prevent it, protest at once against
delivering Gutierrez de Lara to Bar
barous Mexico"

SQUARE DEAL ORDINANCE

MUNICIPAL league promises to
wi stand by its guns and disregard
ALA the attempts to cross-fire its
effort to provide for Los Angeles a
genuine public utilities ordinance.
Initiative petitions are being signed at
a rate which gives reasonable assur-
ance that before the end of the week
the 2500 names required will have been
obtained The Municipal league util-
tiles ordinance will be voted on De-
cember 7.
In view of the maladroit strategy
which has been displayed in the util-
tiles campaign in the council, and
which, to those that will receive it, is
a clear revelation of the completely of
switch" popular demand into direc-
tions that will benefit them, it is of
great Importance that the people
should undertake the work of supply
ing a utilities ordinance that will be
an efficient measure and not a sham
and that will guard and respect the
rights of Los Angeles without sac
rificing those rights to which law
abiding corporations and good citizens
are undoubtedly entitled.
All that is wanted is a square deal
for Los Angeles. Our city must have
fair play in this matter, and there
are enough good citizens bent on see
ing to it that Los Angeles has fair
play to warrant US in saying we believe
a square deal is only a matter of little
more time, patience, perseverance, and
hustle

SEES HELP FOR TRUTH IN
EXECUTION OF PROF. FERRER

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 2O.-[Editor
Herald: The execution of the re-
nowned Spanish educator, Francisco
Ferrer, is an event that will give great
impetus throughout the world to the
movement of nonsectarian education,
advancement of the common people
and to moral idealism. Not that mur-
der ever causes good, but that it will
stir up the mental miasma of selfish
bigotry and allow the light of truth
to help dispel it.
From earliest history the institution
of priestcraft has kept the people in
ignorance, to further its own selfish
ends. So also often monarchy, with
it's attendant aristocracy. Priestcraft,
ancient and modern, has nearly al
ways taught the people in q manner
calculated to keep them downtrodden,
ignorant of truth, upersitious-fear-
full of the power of certain men to
sway omnipotent God! Priestcraft and
royalty of Jew and Roman, fearing
the effect of knowledge of truth upon
the people, thought to kill immortal
truth by killing Jesus, truths wit
ness. The same unholy partnership
has delayed the fruition of Chris
tianity, cheated the people Of their
rights! Time has shown that the
pride of priestcraft Is the prince of
this world, trafficking in worldly pol
icy-not knowing God.
The killing of Ferrer cannot rebind
the minds of the people of Spain, for
they now are seeing things in the
light of actuality. Education and its
good effect is founded upon the prin-
ciple that knowledge of truth brings
freedom. Therefore freedom will never
be our portion if we use weapons of
untruth-viz.: violence, hate, murder,
such as are advocated by some illog-
ical classes of thinkers.
The modern movement in Europe
for better education shall not be
strangled by any apparent power of

SAN FRANCISCO

A FTER enduring the most remarka-
"a BILE series of perils, trials and
A catastrophes-moral as well as
physical-that have been recorded in
the history of any city that has "lived
to tell the tale" San Francisco, the
commercial and maritime capital of
Northern California, is celebrating an
cient as well as modern times and
deeds, the combination being happily
hit off by Mayor Alexander in his con-
gratulatory telegram to Mayor Tay-
lor: Los Angeles sends greetings and
best wishes for a most successful Por-
tola festival, also most hearty congrat-
ulations over your magnificent progress
in the rebuilding of your great city"
In South California there is no jeal-
ousy of North California. Los Angeles
is not Jealous of San Francisco. Why
should she be? The case Of San Fran
cisco demands sympathy, not jealousy.
1t is passing strange that in the north
there should not be the same kindly
spirit toward the south that there is in
the south toward the north. A state
board of equalization that turns out to
be a Northern California board of dis
elimination is not calculated to
strengthen the bonds of union that now
knit the northern or San Francisco sec
ton of California and the southern or
Los Angeles section of California.
Square dealing on the part of the
north under all circumstances, no mat
ter how great the temptation, will do
much to promote harmony.
Los Angeles is making such magnifi-
cent progress, not by the sympathetic
help of but in spite Of the unsympa-
thetic apathy or even hostility of the
north, that she can we'll afford to be
magnanimous. Nay, more, no citizen
of Greater Los Angeles is so small
minded that he does not recognize the
fact that the prosperity Of any part of
the nation adds to the prosperity of all
the nation.
Just as an ideal business condition
would be one under which there
wouldn't and couldn't be any failures.
and in which everybody succeeded, so
an ideal national condition is one in
Ni4AS'i Oil PoA - VI Tue country report
progress and prosperity, and an ideal
state condition is one under which all
parts of a state are succeeding on their
own merits-but NOT AT THE EX-
PENSE OF ANY OTHER PART OR
PARTS OF THE STATE.
To be broad-minded, square dealing
and fair; to be courteous, to be sym
pathetic and helpful; to be appreci-
ative and kindly-THAT's THE LOS
ANGELES WAY.
Hearty congratulations to San Fran
cisco on the Portola festival and on the
rebuilding of the city. May North
California flourish.

BY ODELL SHEPARD
1.-TWO tall ships lay in the Offing
Awaiting the turn of the tidej
Il With broad sails spread
In the twilight red
They rested side by side,
While the lingering sun went down
Behind the silent town.
The fishermen saw in the dawninL
That one had drifted away,
While the other stood
As a mourner would
Against the eastern gray
And the sea beat a sad refrain
To the moan of the wind and the rain.
Somewhere on the waste Of ocean,
BY headland, blight or bay
In storm or calm,
by pine or palm,
In heavens appointed day
Those two may meet again
But God knows where and when.
