The town of Wanenton, Va, was Wis
tied by a very disastrous fire Monday
night. Twenty-Five buildings were de-
stroyed, causing loss Of 100000. The
fire was started in a livery stable by a
boy with a cigarette.
A first-class liar is sending "news"
to easily gulled Baltimore papers from
Luray, Va. He had wildcats swarmlng
after the people week or two ago, and
now he reports that monkey was shot
in the woods near town.
The Hagerstown Fair Association on
Tuesday pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging it with knowingly permitting
gambling at the fair in October, and was
fined 500 and costs. 1t is understood that
the fair people will not again allow gamb-
ling at the fair. 1t is hoped that they will
also cut out worse evil-the sale of
liquor on the fair grounds.
To "get even" with Rev, Ferdinand
Hesse, formerly of Martinsburg, the pas
tor OF the church, who preached several
strong sermons in favor OF local option
during the recent campaign, several per-
sons, thought to have been intoxicated,
threw beer and whiSkey bottles through
the glass in the sliding doors in the new
Lutheran chapel at Smithsburg, Washing
ton county, Md, Friday night, scattering
the glass. The liquor bottles were found
lying near the door on the inside OF the
chapel.
Miss Violet Teter was deprived OF her
suit OF hair by two negroes in ElkinS last
Friday night. 1t is believed she was on
the point of being assaulted when her
cries attracted Upton Welby. She was
dragged from an building which she
had Just entered, and while one of the
negroes held her arms and gagged her,
the other cut off her hair. She managed
to get the gag loose and scream for assis-
lance. The police started for the scene,
accompanied by about twenty or thirty
excited men. The negroes, one of whom
was attired in female garb, escaped
through a nearby swamp.

CARELESSNESS,

A physician (of all people, looked
"a with a lighted match for a leak in
IA a gaspipe, and was painfully
burned by an explosion. Many minor
accidents have been caused recently
by amazing cafelessness. 1t Is i'm
possible to look at a newspaper with
out seeing some instance showing the
folly of taking a risk, the stupidity OF
unnecessarily running into danger, the
need for caution in small matters Cor
what are called small matters) as
we'll as great, and in spite of in
stances a-plenty, minor accidents, or
major accidents resulting from minor
causes, are recorded every day.
Is carelessness in minor matters a
California characteristic? Does our
lovely climate produce a certain in
difference to possible danger? Passen-
gers on street cars who ride to the
end of the line have doubtless had
their nerves thrilled by the occasional
absent mindedness of a motor man
who may have released hold of his
grip and settled back in a passenger
seat, while the car bowled along mer-
rily Such a case may be exceptional,
and incidental only to long runs; at
the same time, can it be said nothing
of the kind ever takes place?
A small carelessness often is big
cause of trouble.

LOVELY

VIZ HAT an interesting luncheon
w group! Oh, lovely combination
The city plot thickeneth. Yea,
it is as thick as the pea soup into
which some of the candidates must uI-
timately slump. Dear Walter, smiling
and whispering; Don Quixote McGa--
vim, armed cap-a-pie (apple pie), and
Cornish? Cornish? Cornish? Now, In
which part of the hall of fame is that
name recorded? Or is he a member of
a celestial band that, soaring high
above petty mundane halls of fame,
is preparing a rump Valhalla?
Los Angeles is well provided with
candidates. Sixty-two aspirants for
nine council positions, and more and
more, more and more to follow! Pub
lie office is a public rush in our great
and attractive city, and good citizens
should take advantage OF this and
name only the best. A rump conven-
ton, as The Herald has pointed out,
will not be an unmixed evil. 1t will
warn citizens to beware OF all men.
whether shouters. workers or candi-
dates, who are connected with
movement to thwart the spirit and in
tention of the law providing for direct
nominations.
The Shrine auditorium gathering
will be a most bare faced expression Of
contempt of decency and order and of
the will Of the people, But since the
McGarvlnites are determined to make
themselves ridiculous nothing short of
the sounding Of Gabriel's trumpet will
prevent them from carrying out their
intention.
Meanwhile it behooves all good citi-
zens to "sit steady" watch the polit-
ical signs of the times and prepare to
do their duty by demonstrating that in
Los Angeles and South California the
people rule, and that government Of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie will be respected and maintained
here.

TROUBLE MAKERS

TIRE has destroyed much property
among the hills and valleys in
n the neighborhood Of Los Angeles,
and as it is obvious all fires cannot be
attributed to spontaneous combustion
some one has been at fault. A lighted
match, burning cigar or cigarette, the
ashes of picnic "cookstove" are
among the causes of the fires which
harass the lives of the forest rangers.
In spite of the fact warnings advising
people to use the utmost caution in
hunting or picnicking are posted every
where, 1t is obvious the utmost caution
IS not used
Perhaps the time will come when
every human being will have such re-
spect for the rights of others that he
will not Interfere with them by insist
ing on smoking to their annoyance or
danger, or on treading over their cul-
tivated fields for short cuts, or leaving
their gates open for their cattle to
wander, or breaking down their wire
fences, or burning UP a whole country
side because he is too lazy to extinguish
a little picnic fire.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

nY THE completion of the Holly
N wood tunnel the entire Cahuenga
i valley area will be brought with
in the scope and the sphere of infiu-
ence of Greater Los Angeles. Dwellers
in the Hollywood region will have from
10 to II minutes travel time cut off,
and the "slum district" as many call
it, will be avoided by the route.
Sunset boulevard is being repaved,
and 1t is generally believed the metro
polization of the suburban region
which is now united to Los Angeles by
the tunnel will be followed by its con-
solidation with Greater Los Angeles.
This would be the natural and logical
sequel of the work that has now been
successfully completed. Greater Los
Angeles should include every district
which seems of right and by nature to
belong and, as it is evident the con-
solidation or annexation must be ac-
complished sooner or later, 1t is the
natural wish of residents that 1t
should be attended to.
Greater Los Angeles is an easy city
to understand on account of the dis
tricts into which it is divided, each
well-defned and practically complete
in itself. Within the lifetime of most
of our readers, Greater Los Angeles
will be the metropolis and the capital
of the fourishing state of South Cali
fornia, and the population Of the city
itself will not be less than a million.
Looking forward" should be the
motto of the people of this most pro-
gressive and successful of communi-
ties, and the tunnel should mean the
addition to Greater Los Angeles of one
of the finest residential sections within
its boundaries.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-15
DIVORCE

TT has been the painful duty Of The
Herald to call attention to the con-
4 stant increase in the number of
divorces, and the court calendar bears
out our contention that South Califor-
mia, paradise for honeymooners, is also
a resort for vinegar-mooners from all
over the country. Californians resent
the imputation that California divorces
are common. They are not. But
divorces are common in California.
The regular inhabitants are happy,
healthy, wealthy and wise, and are
blissfully contented with their matriT
monial lot; but even as some people
come here after contracting incurable
diseases in other parts of the country
and increase our death rate, so un-
happy married couples come here for
the express purpose of being divorced;
and it Is an outrage.
Think of a learned judge, who has
devoted q great part of his life and
great deal of expense to the Study and
practice of law, who when he reaches
the bench finds himself condemned to
have the foul linen Of thousands of
families washed in his presence; to
have his time taken up with scandalous
stories, and to decide the merits Of a
controversy in which, too often, Pot
Joan calls Kettle Darby black!
Public opinion is too lenient with
persons who cause divorce. If offenders
were imprisoned the marriage vow
might meet with more respect.
