GREATER LOS ANGELES

~ REATER LOS ANGELES will re-
ET ceive a national boost and boom
W during and after the meeting of
the grand lodge of Elks in July. Moth
ing could be more opportune than the
visit of the Elks at this important
period in the city's history, when Los
Angeles is expanding, consolidating,
metropolitanizing, and becoming a sea-
port city. Elks will be intensely inter-
ested in the making of Greater Los
Angeles, and will herald the news of
it throughout the country in a way
population and commerce to this city
When the Panama canal is complet-
ed, San Pedro, the seaport of Greater
Los Angeles, already will have been
established as one of the principal har-
bors of the Pacific. The canal route
will add Immediately to the tonnage of
shipping at San Pedro, and will have
the effect of giving it world wide pres
tige.
San Pedro will be the Pacific port of
call on the short route to the orient
and Australasia.
Care should be taken and doubtless
will be taken to impress on our Elk
friends the fact in San Pedro harbor
Los Angeles has the finest seaport on
the Pacific, one capable of great de-
velopment, and one which may easily
rival the principal seaports of the At

cans is decreased by twenty-five mil
lions. This means a decrease i'll the
number of suicides, paupers and de-
generates.
American women are lifting them
selves out of the class of women whose
chief characteristic has been their fe-
cundity, a characteristic which, Wheh
classified, placed them with rabbits
and other females noted for producing
a prodigious quantity of offspring with
out any reference to value.
The Overproduction of human beings
comes from a class which for its own
sake should take cognizance OF the
truth that this overproduction is the
cause of the child labor problem the
problem of the unemployed and the
various sociological questions which
confront the thinking mind.
For the employer of labor there cam
not be too many competitors in the la
Dor market; by those who profit by
war the unemployed become willing
targets for guns in the hands of other
mothers sons.
The clergy, who are the willing ex-
Founders and defenders of whatever
wish them to eXpound and defend,
make the third in the trio who directly
or indirectly profit by the unlimited
propagation of the human species.
The class from which comes the re-
cruits for the professions, the editors,
bankers and successful business men
does not overproduce its kind.
Among this class a man whose sal
ary is less than $100 a month is con-
sidered a failure; and a man not uni
versity graduate finds himself unpre-
pared to meet the requirements of a
responsible position.
The wageworker whose labor is so
poorly paid that he takes his child
from the grammar grade school to help
earn a sustenance for the family of
younger brothers and sisters, robs his
child of all hope of occupying a posi-
tion better than that of his progeni-
tors. ELIZABETH QUIGLEY.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

ISABEL b. MCDONALD utters
some shrewd, sharp truths with re-
= gard to 1.-THE much abused suffra-
gette" Says Isabel: "The final ques-
tion is not how many women want
vote or how many will use it, but why
should the stigma of responsibility
cling to any woman?''
This is unanswerable. 1t is only too
true that the principal argument ad-
vanced against suffrage for women is:
The women don't want a vote. If we
may Judge by the number of men who
do not take the trouble to go to the
polls on election day there are many
men who really do not want to vote.
But because there are many men who
won't and don't vote, should the fran
chise be taken away from men? AS
suredly not Then why is not sauce
for the gander also sauce for the goose?
Isabel goes on to say: "The man who
has no voice in the government of his
country is a serf-that is to say. he Is
not recognized as a fully developed in
dividual capable of thinking and acting
for himself. 1t is easy to understand
the zeal of the young college woman
who, having wrestled with men in the
world of thought and conscious of her
own strength. rebels against the harsh
mandate which says, After all it is not
what you can do but what Providence
has made you-you are only a woman,
and your individual talent is of no avail
against the restrictions which hedge
you in from certain spheres of action"
The Indifference on the part of the
vast multitude of women who have as
yet made no effort for suffrage arises
from that apathetic state of mind which
is the natural outcome of the heredi-
tary tradition that woman occupies a
certain restricted position in the world.
1t is said that in countries where
women have votes it is noteworthy the
polling booths have been removed from
stables to respectable halls. Might that
not be figuratively true in the sense
there would be a moral cleaning up
process once women got into the politi-
cal field?
w iiJ uOCo a iAlciil ObJSNI u d WOuldll
getting into the "mire of politics?"
Simply because he knows that were his
actions open to a feminine survey he
would be under constant obligation to
appear at his best. He knows that if
he could only keep women within the
within the four walls of his church he
would have a delightful sense of free
dom in the outside world
Sisters, we believe when women unite
in demanding suffrage man won't be
able to refuse it. We will even admit
we don't know why they should refuse
it. There are never any scandals in
connection with the municipal bodies
or school boards of Scotland, and for
municipal officers and school board
members women are allowed to vote
People who comment on the Superior
ity'' Of Scottish officials are prone TO
forget this. We don't believe they are
naturally superior" at all. But we
believe the women who help choose
them and help elect them, in conse-
quence of this participation, TAKE so
MUCH KEENER INTEREST IN MU-
NICIPAL AFFAIRS THAN AMERI-
SAN WOMEN AS A RULE THAT
OFFICIALS DO NOT DARE TO
THINK OF, FAR LESS ATTEMPT,
THE OUTRAGES COMMITTED IN
THIS REPUBLIC IN COMMUNITIES
WHERE WOMEN ARE VOTELESS
AND CONSEQUENTLY ARE COM
PARATIVELY INDIFFERENT TOI
PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND ARE NOT

DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL
is NECESSARY TO THIS LIFE

LOS ANGELES. June 5.-[Editor
Herald: Answering Amicus' query,
what will you do with Jesus which is
called the Christi" [ have taken him as
the way out of all evil, for he came to
destroy the works of the devil and as
serted that his followers would do the
same works as he did and even great
er works when they understood him as
the way shower; but we can only do
these works through having that mind
in us which was also in Christ jesus
the true mind, or truth. The carnal
mind which is its antipode is ignorance
and bears the same relation to truth
that ignorance of the science of num-
| bers bears to knowledge of the prin-
ciple of mathematics. 1t is just as
fallacious to assert that a knowledge
of evil is conducive to an understanding
of the harmony of life (the attainment
of heavenly conditions) as to say that
acquaintance with erroneous postulates
in regard to mathematical calculation
is essential in fixing our understanding
of its principle. Truth denies error
The Christ mind knows no evil; the
mathematical mind knows no error;
evil is no more real than error, for evil
is error and error is evil We are not
concerned about the origin of either,
because both are untrue lie no
longer bothers us when we know the
truth is no thing, hence has no origin.
We do not call the understanding
which reflects goodness toyishness, and
[ therefore deny the inference of
"Amicus" that man would be a mere
toy in manifesting this attribute, for in
doing so he gives evidence of having a
knowledge of good and not of evil and
when we all attain to the Christ mind
there will be no more death, neither
sorrow nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain" for its possession
predicates the utter elimination of evil.

of Los Angeles will be that on which
newspaper correspondents send word

that Greater Los Angeles has been

From New York the news will be sent

Numerous changes in the MISSISSIPPI
nj National Guard are likely to result
from the report of Lieutenant Dan
forth who is now about completing
his inspection of all the local compan-
les in the state. The report has not
vet been filed, nor will it be for sew
eral days, but it is learned that his in
tention is to recommend that the COM
panies at Louisville and Canton, and
probably one or two others, be order
ed mustered out of service because OF
lack of interest in each instance. The
Hattiesburg company is one of the
best in the state.
The Louisville company is said to
be the most perfect physically, al
though not numerically, in the state,
and the Canton company is also
good one, but the local encouragement
has been slight in both Instances, with
the result that the boys themselves
have not maintained a proper inter
est.
Several applications from towns that
have heretofore had no company, are
on file, and it ISIS not thought there
will be any difficulty in maintaining
.wo full regiments.
