JAYHAWKER JOURNALISM

C{ OAGETIMES a thriving city OUT
grows its institutions. That is to
~ say the institutions are as neces-
sary as ever to the welfare Of the city,
but they must be metropolitanized.
When provincial journalism persists in
remaining provincial journalism, in
spite of the corrective influence result
ing from the widening of its horizon,
then it invites the comment it is jay
l1awker journalism, and out of date in
a metropolitan city.
A newspaper accuses a citizen of be-
ing ''tenderfoot'' because he does not
show familiarity with the antediluvian
history of the offensive phrase ''chiv-
airy and shovelry," and discusses the
odious bad taste of it's modern applica-
fion without any reference whatever to
its primitive usage in the days when
the ark was grounded on Broadway
in the neighborhood of First street.
With all due respect to Noah & Com
pany. the citizens of modern Los An
geles, under whose energizing impulse
our metropolis has made more progress
in the last ten years than it did in all
its previous history must and do con-
continue to believe that newspaper
which uses the phrase "chivalry and
sho .ly'' with reference to the citizens
and voters of Greater Los Angeles has
a Burchard on the staff: and If further
proof were needed of his existence 1t
may be found in the fatuousness with
which the ark organ persists in making
believe there are intelligent, modern
wideawake citizens of metropolitan Los
Angeles who are eager and willing to
be fooled by the cheap political tactics
of its silly Rump gang.
A machine-controlled convention, as
sembIed for the purpose of evading
the direct primaries law, would make
Los Angeles ridiculous. Since the vot-
ers have expressed the desire to make
nominations by the direct primaries
method, and since provision has been
made for putting that method in op-
Grafton, any effort on the part of the
machine to substitute tweedledum for
tweedledee, sly method Of nomination
by convention for an out and out, hon
est open and above board method Of
nomination by convention. certainly
would be opposition to the will of the
people. We do not believe citizens are
impressed seriously by the efforts of
the Rump leaders to befool them.
AS for the Jayhawker journalism
which makes believe it knows Of no
effort to thwart the operation Of the
primary law. let us give it the benefit
OF doubt. and agree 1t is telling
the truth. and really knows of
no such effort. But its ignorance
OF the inception of such base
and unpatriotic plot is by no means
proof OF the ncn-existence Of such a
plot. All it testides to is the jayhawk-
erishness OF the ignorant newspaper
which is determined to eclipse the ef-
forts OF Peary and Cook and Wellman
BY remaining permanently In Green
land and viewing big, busy bustlIng,
progressive metropolitan Los Angeles
from afar on.

RICHES

LIVERY laborer is worthy of his hire,
III and an attempt to discriminate
against any worker and make
money at his expense Ito exploit him)
is utterly reprehensible. Every man is
entitled to as much money as his SER
vices represent. But as soon as he be-
gins to banker after more than the
vail, of his services he develops COW
etousness, and IL he should proceed to
live in accordance with his desire in
due course of time he would become
either miser or a magnate.
We have often heard the expression
''The dangerous classes" In our opin-
ion by far the most dangerous classes
are those included in the terms we
have used. The miser. covetous of
money alone, and eager to pile up great
boards at the expense Of his fellow
citizens, is only less dangerous to the
permanency and prosperity of this re-
public than the selfish magnate, accu-
mulating riches for the sake of the in
creased power they bring him, who
uses increased power for the purpose
of increasing his riches, and thus, if
death did not interrupt his career, and
If it were protracted through great
many years, would inevitably and lit
orally gain the whole world"
Fortunately for the United States,
there are many possessors of wealth
who are neither misers nor magnates,
but use their money for the sake of
improving the condition of their fellow
men. An unselfish captain of industry
may be philanthropist, even if he
have not one library to his credit. The
true philanthropist does not talk of his
stewardship of his riches. and refuses
to consider himself the beneficent dis
penser or the overload of the poor.
True philanthropy. as opposed to the
false kind, which is merely q species of
charity, is a rightful use Of riches in
planning useful work that will be of
value when it is finished, and that will
enable men to earn wages while it Is
being done. The lord of the manor,
Tho gives food and money to the
needy who throng at his gates solaces
his soul in contemplating himself as a
philanthropist. AS a matter OF fact, he
is selfish, destructive and extravagant;
AMI the true philanthropist is the con-
structive, common sense genius at the
other end of the city who beguiIes
the beggars away from the manor gate

DANCE HELLs

7 T IS not pleasant to realize that in
spite of official vigilance and pub
= lie Indignation cheap dance halls
that charge a fee which serves as mu-
tual introduction for all the company
are still to be found in Los Angeles
and are still doing internal work.
Much sympathy will be felt for the
parents of the 1S-year-oid girl who got
into trouble through frequenting a To-
cal dance hell.
We hope the police will put out of
business the resort in which this young
girls life was blasted, and all other
resorts like it.
These dance halls must not be con-
founded with respectable dancing
schools and academies which from time
to time give receptions or entertain
nlents to which. for advertising pur-
poses, the respectable public may be
invited.
Dance halls of the "nickel a whirI''
kind are merely recruiting grounds for
the dismal army of the underworld
the Band of Hopelessness.
Let the police follow up the case
which brought an innocent-looking girl
to Judge Chambers court, and put all
infamous dancing dens out of busi-
ness. They are nuisances and disor-
derly houses: and there is no excuse
for tolerating them.

BRANDED CANDIDATES

CANDIDATES who seek nomination
4 in the regular way, by the pri-
maries, do not ask Endorsement
by city convention; in fact, will
avoid carefully that dubious honor in
asmuch as 1t would make marked men
of them. There can be no question
as to the reasonableness of the view
expressed in the following words:
"The city charter corresponds to the
constitution in the nation. 1t rep
resents the will of the people. All
loyal citizens should try to live up to
it. To hold a convention is plainly
opposed to the spirit of the direct pri-
mary provision of the city charter.
which is the city's constitution
No good citizen will encourage or
take part in any attempt on the part
of the Southern Pacific machine to act
in a manner disloyal to the city's con-
stitution, and hostile to the best inter
ests of Los Angeles. The only pos
sible good that may be accomplished
by the rump convention may spring
from the fact 1t may put the people
on their guard against the rump cam
didates. They are the candidates who
must be voted down.
Since the machine is taking pains to
advertise its disloyalty to Los An
geles and it's contempt of the consti-
tuition of the city. it is not at all like
ly the machine will receive from the
voters any encouragement to continue
in its attitude of disregard Of public
opinion and Of the will of the people.
The brand of the machine viii effec-
lively prevent the branded from re-
ceiving the popular support Of their
fellow citizens at the primaries-or
anywhere else.
