UNWARRANTED STORY CAUSES
CHURCH MEMBER ANGUISH

Los ANGELES, Sept. 22.-[Editor
Herald: Allow me to thank you for
your editorial Unreliable Interviews"
in today's Herald about the sad
and unwarranted article in the Times
of September IS, concerning the Temple
Baptist church and DR.. Brongher. Es-
pecially do 1 thank you for the state
ment in the editorial: whether au-
thentic or not the publication of the
anonymous statements should not
carry weight" That is true. do not
believe there are three persons among
the members Of the Temple Baptist
church who feel about DIR. Brongher
as the Times article represents or
that would indorse the article. On the
other hand I have heard many Of our
leading members express great grief
that the article was ever published.
The facts are that DR.. Brougher, the
Portland church and people, and the
Temple have been placed in excep-
tional and trying circumstances. There
are few pastors in the Baptist de-
nomination who shave had such a
tested record for blessing and useful
ness in less than a score of years as
DR.. Brougher. His deep piety and
sincerity of heart, full conservation to
Christ, great success as a soul-Winner
of conversions to God and eminent in
organizing Christian forces for signal
service in the church, and added to
these gifts his commanding influence
in civic righteousness in the various
cities where he has labored, make
his services earnestly sought in our
best churches and large cities. The
him. The Portland church with 1900
members, 1900 of whom had been add
ed under DIR. Brougher's ministry of
about six year, nearly two-thirds of
them by conversions and baptism,
with one voice wanted him to remain.
Amid these circumstances he was in
vited to visit US. He came and felt
the need and opportunities were so
great he must come here. He re-
turned and, September a, wrote his
resignation to present to his church
the following day, and accepted our
call. That night a phone call asked
for an interview. He granted It,.
Friends came and pleaded with him to
defer one week. He consented and
that was a week of all manner of
bodies of men and women from the
church, the ministers of the city and
the city itself, with most earnest en-
treaties that he stay with them. And
pained at disappointing us he said;
'I must stay in Portland for the
present" Had he come have not a
doubt that, with Gods blessing, the
great work he has done in other
cities would have been duplicated here.
We are greatly disappointed. but not
cast down. We have no i'll will to DR..
Brougher and I can but hope that in
his own good time our covenant keep
ing God will send DIR. Brougher to
this city of great and promising op-
portunities for religious and civic
riphteousness A. p. GRAVES.

OBJECTS TO BANISHMENT
OF MIGRANTS FROM CITY

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21.-[Editor
Herald: In the Sundays issue I no
ticed the caption: woman Banished
from Los Angeles for Life" Banished!
Exiled! Ostracized! Harsh words.
Those methods were used in Greece
thousands of years ago for political
offenders.
1 looked at the heading again, This
was a woman. A wretched woman of
the underworld, the story said. But
If she was guilty as charged why was
she driven into some other communi-
ty? Is our regard for our neighbors
so slight that we willfully send to them
the depraved and vicious? Again, in
the very nature OF the offense charged
against this woman, men were also
guilty. II banishment was proper why
were they not also banished? They
were not even hailed into court.
"The woman enticed Them" say the
police. If the men were irresponsi-
ble for their acts guardians should
have been appointed for their welfare
and safe keeping. II they are respon-
sible, they as well as the woman,

WOULD PRESENT LEATHER
MEDALS TO S. P. HENCHMEN

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20.-[Editor
Herald: This morning was talking
to a delegate to the Southern Pacific
convention" and among other things
spoke of the futility of any action that
body might take to place a candidate
on the primary ballot. In reply he
said they would "adVise the people for
whom to vote"
Is not that exceedingly kind and
generous, brotherly and even loving
beyond degree, that the convention
promoters should in their goodness OF
heart, not to mention their preponder-
Gus gall, give advice" to such men as
constitute the City club, the Municipal
league, the Federation club and other
Intelligent people of this city?
Who would have dreamed such mag
unanimous and disinterested thoughts
would find expression from that
source?
Such high and noble service should
be rewarded and l suggest that you
take subscriptions to a fund for med
ais, leather medals, If you please, to
be distributed at the convention" to
these noble souls. CITIZEN

SCHOOL SITUATION

n NE of the complications Of the
school situation is described thus
~ by Superintendent E. c. Moore:
after the consolidation election, San
Pedro, through some mistake %,
turned over $4,000 to City Auditor
Mushet. and this should have been
placed in the school fund. Mr.. Mushet
has failed to do this, for what reason
do not know"
Failures to do have caused more
trouble to the educational interests of
Los Angeles than falls to the lot of
most cities. The great mass meeting
held under the auspices of the City
club denounced the contumacious-
ness Of selfish citizens who showed
a willful disregard of the wishes Of
taxpayers, and used legal ingenuity In
order to prevent money voted for
school purposes from being realized
and expended.
The interference with the school
bonds has caused more trouble in Los
Angeles than any action of which
there is record. But for interference,
there would have been no difficulty in
disposing of the bonds, and in provid-
ing ample educational facilities for the
greatly increased school population of
the present year.
While, thanks to the excellent quality
of the citizenship of Los Angeles, an
emergency like that created by the OBJ
structionist will always bring to the
front public spirited and courageous
men, anxious and willing to apply
themselves to finding solution for the
perplexities which vex the community
in order private grudges may be graft
fed, yet it is disconcerting to reflect
that but for the perpetual vigilance Of
such good citizens, 1.-THE watchmen on
the walls" the progress and prosper
ity of Los Angeles would constantly
be interfered with, now by one selfish
mischief maker. now by another.
And of all the mischief makers of
whom there is record, none showed
such a capacity for diabolically NAL
adroit mischief calculated to infict
grievous wrong and irreparable injury
upon the most helpless and most inn
pOrtdnt pOrtlOn OF lno community, the
young folk. the Americans of tomor-
row, as did the ingeniously cunning
plotter against the common good who
was the cause of the trouble which
made necessary Tuesdays mass meet
ing.
With the loyalty to the cause of
education which Is one of the char
acteristics Of the people of this COM
munity, financial institutions are COM
ing to the rescue by subscribing for
city school bonds. It is evident that
to the bankers and other public spir-
tied citizens Of Los Angeles, led by j
A. Graves Of the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank, the city will owe it's es
cape from the dilemma created b!
enemies Of education, enemies Of re.
form, enemies Of progress and chronic
obstructionists whose interference witt
public progress has aroused the indig
nation OF all good citizens.

SPEED MANIA

7 USTICE CHAMBERS lecture to a
speed-mad motor cyclist was ad-
- mirably conceived and wc-ded
and should be read and remembered by
everybody He said there is a spirit
Of speedmadness among the owners
of motor cycles. And does not COM
mon everyday observation prove this
they must go from twenty to sixty
miles an hour because IT. is possible
to attain such speed on the machines.
Why the manufacturers make them
so they can go so fast cannot under
stand, as they endanger life by so
doing"
In this little speech Justice Cham
bers suggests a remedy for what is
becoming a nuisance. The speed of
motorcycles used in city streets must
be limited, and the manufacturers
must limit it. They should not be
allowed to sell high-speed machines
for city use, and, excepting by police
men on special occasions. high-speed
motorcycles should not be permitted
on the streets. Speed mania cannot be
gratified when it is impossible to de-
velop speed, and we respectfully sug-
gest that incurable speed ma.-.lcs,
fellows who really cannot exist with
out the swift rush, can easily safe
their desire for speed by going to the
top Of a tall building and falling off
They will make the descent with great
rapidity, and If they will choose a side
of the building that does not face the
street, can indulge their passion fol-
speed without hurting anybody wher
they reach the end of their downward
dash.
