GOOD MEN

7 OS ANGELES has many good eiti-
zens. In fact in this community
- there is a bigger percentage of
| people who think than in any other.
! To the intelligence, honor, integrity,
moral courage and high character of
the citizenship of Greater Los Angeles
the candidature of George Alexander
for mayor appeals. lie represents
"the best people in the best commun-
| ity in the United States" and we are
proud and thankful to believe the
best people in Los Angeles consti-
tute such an overwhelming majority
of the population that the nomination
and election of Mayor Alexander are
L assured.
Mayor Alexandar's official record
has been excellent. The daily issues
of the rump newspaper that is hostile
to him testify to this. In vain have
the rump organ-grinders sought legit-
innate ammunition to fire" at Mayor
Alexander. Deprived of all other
weapons they are trying to pelt him
with mud and garbage; but they can't
aim straight.
After all. why should all organ
grinder know how 10 aim? That's not
his business.
Judge Works is willing to become
a candidate for the city council, and
he should be nominated and elected
We believe he will be. He is one of
our best known citizens, and by his
writings, which have obtained wide
spread publicity is recognized nation
ally as an authority on civics-the
science Of good government.
Other council nominations recon-
mended by friends and advocates of
good government are those of w. ].

The educational interests of Los An
geles are of the highest Importance,
and the caliber of the board of edu-
cation is of great moment. We speak
for a majority of the citizens of Los
Angeles when we say the educational
interests of Los Angeles will be best
served by the denomination and re-
election of Joseph Scott. Fielding ].

NEWSPAPERS

CONGRESSMAN McLACHLAN told
the Throop students the newspaper

densation of human existence day by
day. 1t expands the mental and spir-
can live a narrow life, or at least a
life as narrow as one who does not
read the newspapers.
American newspapers are sometimes
accused of sensationalism. There can
be nothing more "sensationaP' than the
truth. The so-called sensational
newspapers produce effects that are
transitory.
The educational value of a newspa-
per is due not only to the fact it puts
the reader in possession Of much in
formation with regard to subjects
which without the intervention of the
newspaper could not possibly come
within his ken, but to the more i'm
portant fact 1t gives the reader the
advantage, or the benefit, or the warn
ing of the experiences of his fellow
men.
The newspaper is filled with human
experiences. Even the thoughts that
are chronicled in it are the result of
human experiences. In an editorial
page. it is especially easy to tell
whether writer "has the goods"
that is to say, whether he is giving his
readers the benefit of human expe-
riences, or whether he is merely filling
space. An editorial page written by
men of great experience is valuable.
The wider and more varied the eXpe-
riences of the writer, the better is it
for the reader,

less in the house. Thus Socialism is
a real force in the national affairs of
the United Kingdom, because the So
cialist party is in evidence in the
house and takes a conspicuous part
in the management of the United
Kingdom.
1t was inevitable that the radical
complexion and progressive spirit Of
the commons should result in the on
slaught on the intrenched privilege of
the house of hereditary peers which
will be the next dramatic chapter in
the history of the United Kingdom.
From the abolition of the hereditary
legislative privilege of the peers to the
retirement of the royal family will be
an easy and logical step. Freed from

EDUCATION

HHE cause of education in Los An
geles is near and dear to the
Il hearts of the people. Every citi-
zen realizes the Importance Of making
ample provision for training all the
boys and girls who are born in Los
Angeles or come here with their par
ents. Much of the future general pros
perity of Los Angeles depends upon the
educational prosperity Of Los Angeles.
Educational interests must ever come
first. We must have the best schools
in the world, attended by the best chill
dren in the world, taught by the best
teachers in the world.
A Los Angeles education should be
synonymous with giving man or wo-
man a certificate of complete training
in every qualification that adds to the
efficiency, the character, the patriot
ism, the value to fellow citizens of a
citizen of the United States.
Los Angeles is the literary, art and
EDUCATIONAL center of the west.
Men and women interested in educa-
tional work come here in great num-
bers, and the constant increase of the
number of children constantly in
creases the educators opportunities for
usefulness. Citizens are proud of the
educational facilities of Los Angeles,
proud of the schools Of Los Angeles,
proud of the school teachers of Los
Angeles and proud of the children of
Los Angeles. Our great and 1ourishing
city owes to its magnificent educational
system much of it's unrivaled pros

DOUBTS STATEMENTS OF
BOTH COOK AND PEARY

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.-[Editor
Herald; Has 1t ever occurred to you
that perhaps both Cook and Peary may
be full-fiedged members of the Anan-
las club?
Suppose you submit this proposition
to some astronomical sharp.
For instance, one of these men says
that he travelled by moonlight in the
Arctic. Now any one with a fair knowl-
edge of astronomy knows that the
apparent path of the moon through the
skies is never farther away from the
apparent path of the sun than five de-
grees. Suppose you are at the pole.
The sun rises on the 21st day of March
and sets on the 21st day of September.
The moon during the polar day would
be seen, if at ALL as a faint orb, such
as we see late in the afternoon or early
in the morning at times. After the
sun sinks more than five degrees be-
low the horizon the moon could not
be seen at all.
Another thing One of these bright
explorers let's it be known that when
the sun sets in the Arctic black night
ensues at once. Well, not having been
there, I cannot say; yet here is an
idea. In this latitude it is dawn or
twilight for half or quarters of
an hour every morning and evening.
In other words, when the sun is from
~ to 12 degrees below the horizon we
still get some of it's light. At the pole
the sun is never more than 231a degrees
below the horizon; that is on December
q, when 1t Is vertical over the tropic
Of Capricorn. A bit of analogous reas-
oning should show that the dawn and
the twilight at the pole are each four
or five weeks in duration. How about
this?
Finally isn't 1t strange that this is
the first time on which doubt has been
cast on any mans achievements, or
alleged achievements? Anybody hith-
erto could go north and have his state
ments accepted as gospel. Do you not
think it possible that the Hassayampa
river has been diverted to run to the
pole? r. D. ROBERTSON.
