EQUALITY

n NE of the so-called "clubs" of Los
Angeles was, raided. Let us see
~ what happened to persons accused
of violation of law in connection with
the club, Immediately after the ar
rests had been made. The proprietor
was RELEASED on furnishing 5000
cash bail for appearance in court. The
secretary, for whom bail was fixed at
5000, and four walters, who were asked
to provide 800 cash bail apiece, could
not furnish the money and We're
LOCKED UP We are not comment
ing on the raid or it's sequel. We are
calling attention to a social and legal
system under which the boss" the
cause of the trouble, is allowed to go
free, while five hired men, for whose
trouble he is responsible, are locked
up. If this is fair if it is square deal
ing, will some one please take pity on
us and explain fully and satisfactorily
why it is fair and square, because we
confess it is beyond our ken?
The Herald cannot acknowledge that
a proprietor is less deserving of pun
ishment or of suffering inconvenience
for alleged law breaking than are the
poor devils on the pay roll of the bust
ness he is alleged to have conducted
unlaWfully In case like this, en-
ployes of an unlawful concern are pun
ished because of their poverty. 1t is
striking illustration of the ever-truth
of the Biblical saying, 1.-THE destruction
of the poor is their poverty"
And in the land of the free and the
home of the brave, such marked diff
ference in the treatment of the more
responsible, and therefore if guilty. the
more guilty proprietor with cash, and
that of the less responsible and if
guilty less guilty employees without
cash, is peculiarly worthy of note, COM
ment and exclamation point

THE ART OF AJCTIONEERING
BY Frederic L HaSkin

TT WAS recently announced by an
auctioneering firm In Washington,
L. d. c., that the cradle of George
Washington and a mirror once owned
by the first lady of the land would
be sold at public auction in that city.
The attention attracted was country
wide. for Washington relics at auc-
lions are quite rare. The special sale
was held in due time, the property OF
the old Magruder estate-an old family
homestead near Mount Remembering

Two excellent recommendations will
be made by John Morley superinten-
dent of parks, in a report he is pre-
pairing. One is that band concerts
should be held regularly in all the
parks of the city. The other is that
small neighborhood parks should be
established, particularly in districts
where working people live. AS Los An
geles grows bigger and bigger, it will
appreciate more and more the neces-
sity of breathing spaces for its popu-
