LINCOLN CENTENARY

N NE HUNDRED years ago today
Abraham Lincoln was born. More
than any other event in modern
times has his birth affected civilization
He found conditions prevailing in the
United States, acquiesced in by ma
jority of the citizens, which were as
dismally out of tune with the grand
harmony of the first principles of
Americanism as are some of the de-
plorable conditions which believers in
Americanism are trying to amend to-
day.
In asserting the doctrine that the
freedom of the human being in the
United States was not forfeit because
the accident of birth made an Amer
leans skin black instead Of white.
President Lincoln overcame more OBJ
stacles, more fanaticism, more fero-
cious opposition, more bitterness, than
could possibly be encountered by any
modern reformer who tried to continue
the work of Lincoln, and to assert the
imperishable force of the statement that
the unalienable rights of the American
citizen are life, which of course in
eludes living; liberty, which of course
includes permission or opportunity to
work, and the pursuit of happiness,
which of course is impossible unless a
citizen is allowed to provide for his
family and educate his children. In the
Lincoln centenary celebration the mem
ory Of a great man will be honored, and
it may come to the minds of the peo-
pie of this nation that, though his body
lies mouldering in the grave, his Amer
lean soul goes marching on; and the
principles which he advocated are still
the principles of the Republic, and
must never be belied by the craft and
chicanery Of men who would USE the
Republic for mere private fortune
building, or for the purpose of further
ing their selfish ambitions for personal
aggrandizemert.

PRO-VICE FAILURE

A NAPOLEON is needed by the pro-
H vice movement in Los Angeles.
AA Up to date its campaign has been
marked by a series of Intellectual ma
neuvers and pitiful strategic failures.
Immaturity damns every effort. This
is illustrated signally by the manner in
which the originators of the pro-Har-
per petition were caught mapping by
the leaders of the recall movement,
who without difficulty stole a march on
them. The completed petition, with all
it's formidable array of signatures, was
filed at least a week before the pro-
Harperites expected it to be filed.
Doubtless the pro-vice advocates had
visioned an entirely different program.
Their intention was to file a counter
petition for Harper, with much fam
boyant oratory on behalf of that in
jured innocent; but the speed with
which citizens signed the recall petit
tion and the celerity with which the
Municipal league rushed it through up
set completely the plans and calcula-
tions of the ants; and the council, with
unaninlTty disturbed only by the plain
tive yawp of Clampitt, speeded the pc
tition still farther along the line of
legal effectiveness. Lack of generaIship
and lack of activity have combined to
make ridiculously ineffectual the silly
attempt to defeat the will of the out
ragged and justly incensed people of
Los Angeles. The pro-vice petitioners
truly were badly cleft" The pink
socks outwitted and Outgeneraled their
opponents and showed so much supe-
riority in campaign tactics that it fair
ly took the breath away from the pro-
vice editors. When these advocates
found that what they had prophesied
could not be done" had been accom-
plished with great celerity and in a
most businesslike manner, all they
could do was to descend to the level
of personalities and ascribe various ig-
noble, selfish motives to the champions
Of good citizenship, and especially to
its journalistic champions.
We don't think the citizens of Los
Angeles are paying the slightest serious
attention to pro-vice editorial writer's
wiz are 4IldhlIS MIy faces ana emit
ting cacophonous and raucous noises in
order that every one may understand
how badly they are hurt and how keen
ly they sympathize with the suffering
Arthur and the martyred Ed.
We advise the tortured apologists for
vice to brace themselves for the more
severe ordeal that is to come. 1t NAV
be necessary for them to take anaes-
thetics, for just as surely as the recall
petition succeeded A C. HARPER
WILL BE DEFEATED AT THE
POLLS by the peoples candidate for
mayor. Stung by the recall, what I'M
imaginable agonies await the pro-
vicious when the recall is followed.
logically and naturally by the tri-
umphant success of a candidate for
mayoralty who will give Los Angeles
a clean, moral, business, American adj
ministration, which will make its citi-
zens prouder than ever of the finest
city in all the vast west

THE BALLAD OF CAPTAIN KoTcH

4 perfectly veracious tale in rhyme chronic

ci uiser of the air
Twas near the first Of June. nineteen

The Bottom Dollar, submarine,
Went shopping out for gore.
Her gallant crew beneath her decks
Chawed firmly on their chews,
While Captain Kotch put on his specs
And read to them the news.

We're putting FORTH spoke he
And in this extra noon Red Hot
Portentous words l see

Is bound for somewhere! Why?
How so, if not? When? What? And who7
Our next edition buy!"
'Hoo-roarr' the gallant sailors cheered.
e''Hoo-roar! Hoo-roar! Hoo-roar!''
Nor west by east the good craft steered
(On quest he said, of gore).
When from the coming hood the voice
OF lookout hoarse did sing,
In tidings that made all rejoice:
"A sail-I mean, wingr'
Now where ahead?' asked Captain Koch.
His reading specs he doffed.

And half a mile aloft!''

BY Sampson and by Schley!
We're not afraid of any crowd
That ever cruised the sky.
The Bottom Dollar shall from Cog
Or Magog never finch.
So pipe all hands, serve out the grog,
Submerge her sixteen-inch!'
On sped the Bottom Dollar on
The rav'nous airship came
The gunners here, the boomers yon,
Prepared for deadly aim.
While down the Dollars wireless mast
With sudden urgent tick,
From Washington arrove at last
Her ORDERS one word: ''Sic!'

After all is said and done it is not at all

The national evil in China is intemperance

Instead Of hoping to eliminate opium snok-

merely attempting to influence Jeffries to meet

Perhaps New York will have a stage

Three cheers for Good Old Abraham
Lincoln. the greatest American of the
nineteenth century! If he were alive
and in Los Angeles today the pro-vice
papers would be accusing him of wear
