GRAFT

q INCE the word graft has been
added to the American vo-
~ cabulary there have been SO
many examples of it that no one
has ever had to puzzle over its
meaning. Examples Of graft have been
too numerous to mention. Within re-
cent years many Of the great cities of
the United States have had to lament
the fact that citizens-sometimes men
Of prominence and achievement-have
yielded to the graft fever which seemed
to be in the air. What Is the matter?
Are some of our best citizens money
mad?
What induces a man holding a high
position suddenly to yield to some in
fiuence or temptation? There is pres
ent in California a constant menace to
the morals of the community. It is a
powerful corporation, which in order
to gain its ends has frequently cajoled
or compelled citizens to believe that
after all graft was a harmless eccen-
tricity; that it was none Of the pub
lies business whether a. man received
special favors, shares Of stock In this
or that concern, or even sums Of money
called fees or remuneration for ser
vices rendered" or for advice given"
All, there's nothing as crafty as

MORAL PROGRESS

& ONE of the ministers of Los Ange-
N les today are probably calling the
~ attention of their congregations to
the necessity for such an awakening of
the public conscience on the question
of gambling that the legislature will
be deprived of all excuse for making
believe there is the slightest uncertain
ty as to the public attitude on this i'm
portant question of morals. The reso-
lutions adopted by the Southern Cali
fornia Baptist convention doubtless
express the opinions of all the good
people of all religious denominations
who attend church, as well as Of good
people who are not connected regularly
with any religious organization.
These resolutions run as follows:
"Inasmuch as California is behind
most other states of the Union in hav-
ing no law securing for its citizens an
opportunity for rest and worship on
Sunday, and permits wide open race
track gambling, with all Of its demon
alizing influence, to debauch young
men:
Resolved, That we declare ourselves
emphatically in favor Of Sunday rest
law and an effective anti-race track
gambling law, and urge the representa-
ttves in the legislature from Southern
California to use all honorable means
to procure the passage Of such laws at
the present session"
1t is not pleasant-in fact, it is a
bump to state pride-to have to read
that California is behind most other
states of the Union in any respect.
There are three great fields Of progress,
educational progress, which includes
all varieties of intellectual training and
development, discovery and invention,
ETC., ETC.; political progress, which in
cludes all political and social ad-
vancement, and moral progress, which

SAYS FEAR AND WORRY ARE
sUGGEsTERs OF DISEASE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-[Editor
Herald: DR.. Humanitas may be we'll
posted as regards prevalent theories
relating to physiology, but he evidently
does not understand what mind is and
how it controls man harmoniously.
In the first place it is not mind that
obstructs or interferes with the har-
monious operations of the functions;
it is, as he says, worry, fear, etc. (the
children Of ignorance and suggestton).
What does a man need with sugges-
ton if he knows the truth. A sugges-
ton can be either true or false, but is
generally the latter-e. g., in hypnosis
suggestion conveys the belief that vim
egar is sweet, and the subjects senses
seemingly testify affirmatively to a
faIsehood. So fear and worry act as
the operator in auto-hypnosis, to fasten
the suggestion of disease and misfor-
tune and limitation in consciousness;
land as a man thinketh in his heart,
so is he" Now, how will these I'M
wholesome and unnatural conditions be
removed? BY nerves whose natural
functions have already been deranged
by the ignorance which it is sought to
remove. MOI Harmony is restored by
bringing the word Of truth to bear on
the afflicted, either orally or mentally.
He sent his word and healed them;
land thy word is TRUTH the Bible
says.
We cannot depend on suggestion, for
even it's own advocates admit it only
helps in functional troubles. We must
rely on God, who healeth all our dis
eases, who forgiveth all our iniquities."
And so, as we read in Romans: LET
God be. true and every man (humanly
cOnceiVed) a liar" r. N.

CITY CLUB

WI CONGRATULATE the City
w club of Los Angeles on its ex-
cellent meeting of yesterday,
when a generous program was supple
mented, or, rather, preceded by an ad-
mirable address by Hon. Franklin K.
Lane, chairman of the interstate COM
of great value to the civic life Of Los
Angeles.
Yesterdays meeting was a fair ex-
ample of the thoroughness with which
the club carries out it's purposes. 1t
was devoted to discussion of proposed
charter amendments, and to deal with
each subject proposed it had the best
available man, a citizen who could
speak with the authority derived from
the possession Of much special infor-
nation on the topic he handled. Cap
tain Fries spoke on charter amend
ments dealing with San Pedro harbor
and consolidation. The name Of Cap
tain Fries is inseparably associated
with the development of San Pedro
harbor and with all the questions which
have been debated or may be debated
in the course of the harbor discussion.
On amendments affecting the public
library Charles F. Lummis was the
spokesman. No one is better equipped
to speak on this important educational
phase of the general subject Of the
charter amendments. Those who have
read in The Herald that Los Angeles
is becoming the art, music and literary
center of the United States could not be
surprised by Mr.. Lummis' library
views. This is an intelligent, intellect
ual, reading, literary community: Los
Angeles is the Athens of the west, and
is absolutely certain to be the perma-
nent literary, art and musical center
of the Pacific coast if not of the United
States: Boston is it's only rival; and
antiquity we may not dispute with
the venerable Hub but the supre-
macy in other respects we may-and
we will, and that is one good reason
why we should have a great, indepen-
dent, non-pauperized public library,
housed in a building which will rep
resent the genius. the spirit, the intel
ligence of Los Angeles.
DR.. John r. Haynes spoke Of the pro-
posed public utilities franchise amend
ment, and counseled the community
to vote against it. Hang on to TWEEN
ty-one years as the period for a fran
chise grant, he said. Don't change
to thirty-five."
w. J. Hunsaker, president Of the
club, spoke with convincing force in
favor Of the election of councilmen at
large and of non-partisan elections. He
also expressed the opinion the mayor
should be a. member Of the council.
The City club will take an active
part in the charter amendment cam
paign.
A committee of fifteen members will
work for the adoption of proposed
charter amendments indorsed by the
club, and particularly for amendment
number 2, relating to the election
of councilmen at large, and amend
ment number 4, providing for NOM
nations by petition and non-partisan
elections.
The community should and doubtless
will welcome the news of the appoint
ment of this campaign committee.

SAYS WORKERS ARE POOR
BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE

COVINA, Jan. 16-[Editor Herald:
There has been much agitation OBJ.
posed to the trusts in the last few
years, and especially against the STAN
dard Oil company.
However, a few people are beginning
to get their eyes open and see that if
anyone expects to make a success in
any line of business it Is absolutely
necessary to destroy competition and
instead Of kicking against the trusts
we should pattern after their methods.
IL the Workingman can find no other
field of industry he can at least supply
large amount OF his own needs by
going back to the land. Although the
average worker is unable to own a
farm large enough to pay expense of
time and money required to run it, yet
there Is nothing to prevent a corpora
ton OF Workingmen to engage in farm
ing and by using economy and scien-
tific methods becoming successful to
the extent Of making a living. There
is a feeling among workers at the
present time that some such method
is necessary If the American worker
is to continue to exist. AS an illus
tration of the present methods of doing
business by mechanics: In a certain
town not twenty-five miles from Los
Angeles there are about fifty carpen-
tiers; there is seldom work for more
than twenty at any time, so most Of
them are idle a greater part Of the
year. When a house is to be built
they all want to bid on the work until
the price is cut down to less than a
cash boy receives for his wages. AS a
result many of them are so poor that
they and their families suffer from in
sufficient food and clothing.
If Rockefeller had used no better
methods in his early career he would
now have been sniveling around an oil
stove to keep warm and his grandson
with his toes out in the snow, selling
papers at 1 cent apiece to keep from
starving. H. VAN BENTHUSEN.

SAN PEDRO HARBOR

IF CONCENTRATIONS made by
the joint committee on harbors
4 are carried out Los Angeles will
manage It's own harbor, and the future
prosperity Of the great seaport will
not be menaced by the possibility Of
a state board Of Gillett harbor COM
missioners affected by the sleeping
sickness or some other ailment equally
detrimental to public interests-rail-
roaditis, or something of that kind,
perhaps;
The report Of the state legislative
committee on harbors, which will form
the basis Of several important meas
ures, says: "Inasmuch as the title
to the tidelands at San Pedro is in
litigation, and as the people of Los
Angeles and portion of the inhabi-
tants Of San Pedro and Wilmington
desire municipal control Of that port
the committee recommends that the
Pedro be left entirely to the munich
pality." This is in line with proposed
charter amendment No. Z, which
provides the city of Los Angeles
shall have power to acquire, construct
and operate and maintain docks,
wharves, piers, canals and sea walls,
and to regulate and control navigable
waters, anchorage, wharfage and pi-
lotage, etc. San Pedro harbor is
the harbor of Los Angeles, and as
the "SeapOrt of Los Anpeles'' II will
become known to the nation and
throughout the world.
The future history Of Los Angeles
will be affected and to some extent
determined by the history Of the har-
Dor. And the development Of Los An
geles will be the chief contributory
cause to the greatness Of the harbor.
