GOOD OFFICIALS

MOOD Office holders are worth re-
Y tanning in Office. Therefore gen.
~ eral satisfaction is expressed over
the fact the members of the present
board of education have consented to
run for Office again. Strictly non
partisan, the members of the school
board have done their duty without
reference to political effect and with a
single eye to the good of the public
and the vast educational interests of
Los Angeles. This city is the most
important educational center of the
west, and recent events have served
to impress on citizens the necessity
of having aggressive, courageous, con-
scientious, fearless, wideawake and in
dependent citizens on the board Of
education, men who cannot be owned
by a school book trust, cowed by a
viragoish newspaper, or in any way
interfered with in their efforts to give
the children of this city a square deal.
The school board should be renomi-
mated and reelected.
We believe it will also be greatly
to the interest Of the public to re-
elect Leslie Hewitt, who has made a
fine record as city attorney.
Mr. Hewitt and members of the
board Of education are men we know
we can trust. For the sake of Greater
Los Angeles we wish them success.

BELIEVES THAT GIRLS DO
NOT PREFER IMMORAL MEN

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.-[Editor
Heraldl 1t is not true that girls like
immoral men. A pure girl generally
thinks and fully believes that all young
men with whom she associates are
moral men. OF course there is nothing
to prevent her being imposed upon, and
if she likes a man she believes virtue
to be one of his qualities; If she finds out
to the contrary, her love and esteem
suffers a shock from which it never re-
covers To the writer the moral young
man has always been most attractive
because of his manly and stralghttor-
ward bearing, clear eyes and trank-
ness without impudence. Why not cul-
tivate fascination as one of the virtues.
instead of leaving it to the vicious?
Any young man can be attractive to
the opposite sex who learns to pc
pleasing and interesting to them-tak-
ing an interest in the person he is talk
ing to, or seeming to. Why leave tne
art of fascination to men and women
of questionable morals, who have taken
the pains to learn it for their own evil
aims? Good men and good women often
make the mistake of thinking that the
opposite sex will admire them for their
goodness alone, leaving fascination to
the immoral. No man would love
woman merely because of her goodness,
without her possessing any magnetic
qualities, yet he. would not love or re-
spect her if she were not good no mat
ter how attractive. And the same
rule works good in regard to the oppO-
site sex. A woman wants a man to be
moral and attractive at the same time,
and there is no reason why he should
not be. have known where immoral
man had used the powers of fascina-
ton he had learned to win the love Of
an innocent girl (who thought him vir-
tuous because she thought she loved
him), and when he had married her
he boasted of his past escapades to
her. In every case the love of the
young wife suffered a shock from
which it never recovered-love ceased
to exist-and her future life was one Of
bitterness, bcause of lack of respect
for her husband in cases where for the
sake of pride she remained with him.

ORGANIZED LABOR

TN AN article which fills almost four
columns, our morning Republican
- contemporary abuses organized Ia
Dor and advertises a breakfast food.
The last paragraph of this article reads
as follows: when you seek to buy
something, look for the union label and
speak your sentiments. That's an op-
portunity to reach out a helping hand
to countless men and women in all
lines of industry who brave bricks,
stones and bullets to maintain their
American manhood and freedom by
making the finest goods in America,
and which do not bear the seal of in
dustrial slavery, the union label"
While publication of this article is
undoubtedly paid for, it's conspicuous
appearance in the same issue which
contains a report of President Taft's
remarkable speech on labor organiza-
ton is coincidence which is sure to
attract attention.
Mr.. Taft evidently does not share the
opinions of the Republican newspaper
which publishes the anti-labor adver-
tisement in the same issue with his
speech, for in that speech he said: 'I
think it is a WISE COURSE for labor
ers to unite to defend their interests.
1t is a wise course for them to provide
fund to support those who lose their
positions by strikes or lockouts.
think the employers who refuse to deal
with organized labor or to recognize it
as a proper element In the settlement
of wage controversies are BEHIND
THE TIMES. There is a higher stand
ard of living among American laborers
than IN any other country in the world.
The effect of the organization of labor
has been to maintain the steady and
high rate Of wages making such
standard of living possible"
President Taft is a distinguished ju-
rist, and probably no one will quarrel
with the statement that he is the leader
of the American bar. and today by far
it's most influential member.
Now, when Americas illustrious
jurist, the leader of the nations bar
and the chief magistrate and chief ex-
ecutive of the United States, says labor
organization is a wise course, the ma
jority Of the American people must ac-
cept his sagacious judicial decision and
reject the hysterical combinations of
the hidebound, the prejudiced and the
purblind. Persons whose occupations
are so professional" so "hoity toity''
and so high and mighty" they have
scorned the idea of organization, are
paying dearly for their pride.
Today citizens who work with their
brains and experience, but without a
union card, in the same shop with citi-
zens engaged in more mechanical and
less originative pursuits, are paid less
than the citizens whose work for the
shop in which they are all mutually
employed is protected by organization.
And If the unprotected should utter
even a hint at a protest, they are
told it is economic determinism" which
rules their earning destinies, and are
invited, If they will not endure the in
Justice, to make room for men who
will. President Taft's speech will be
a great incentive to brain workers to
stop making fools of themselves by
subiecting themselves to the persistent
and unblushing exploitation of eco
nomic determinists," and, following the
example so warmly indorsed and COM
mended By the president, to organize.

SAYS SECRET SERVICE
MEN CAN GUARD TAFT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.-GEditor
Herald: 1t is with great interest !
note the preparations that are being
made for the coming visit of President
Taft, that he is to be protected by the
local police department and the state
militia. Now all of this is fine and
dandy. But from the time the presi-
dent boards his train he will be ac-
companied by an efficient corps Of
United States secret service operatives,
who thoroughly understand their busi-
ness and what their duties are. Now
let US make no mistake, such as cost
the life of President Mckinley when
his personal bodyguards were showed
to one side so prominent citizens could
pose alongside the president and some
insane idiot with his arm in a bandage
could shoot him down. At the National
Soldiers home in this county, on the
occasion Of the visit of President Nc
Kinley. it was a United States secret
service operative who arrested a pick
pocket who was successful in rob-
bing some of the presidents party and
many local citizens, a work that local
officers should take care of. Let our
city and county officers take care of
the crowds and let the presidents per-
sonal guards take care of him, which
they are able to do. j. S. WILSON.

THINKS HOTEL KEEPERS
ARE SHOWN FAVORITISM

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.-[Editor
Herald: My morning Herald tells me
the favored hotel keepers are still
complaining of the five-mile limit in
the garbage ordinance These hotel
keepers want to hold down the price
of fresh pork by keeping garbage fed
pork on the market. And the cheaper
it can be produced the cheaper they
can buy their fresh pork. This at
tempt to save money for themselves
on the price of fresh pork is unfair
toward the producers of honest grain
fed pork.
If the serving of garbage fed pork
at the public eating places in the city
is to be longer tolerated the council
should pass an ordinance providing
that notices be posted at all public
is served in these words: Garbage
fed pork served here"
Let them try serving oleomargarine
without notifying their guests what
it is. If the five-mile limit were elm
mated from the ordinance all the
money the keepers OF public eating
places could save on their pork and
garbage would be an insignificant
fraction of the cost to the property
owners of the residents or the sixth
and Ninth wards.
These hotel keepers have no right
to make a profit at the expense of
other citizens and property owners of
the city.
one of the reasons why the state
board of equalization gave the assess
ment of Los Angeles such a big raise
was because the hotels were assessed
by the county assessor at such RI
diculously low figure. And all the tax
payers of the county must suffer be-
CAUSE the hotels were favored. Now

the city council they are not salts

DENIES 1T is SINFUL TO
LEND MONEY ON INTEREST

SANTA ANA, Sept 15.-LEditor
Herald: Mr. Q of Pomona proves by
the Bible, it is sinful to take interest
for a loan, and advances a number OF
quotations from Moses and the pro-
phets, but overlooks the most impor-
taut quotationfound in Deuteronomy
chapter 3, verses 10 and 20. Thou
shalt not lend upon usury to thy
brother-unto a stranger thou mayest
lend upon usury." Not every comand-
ment in the law of Moses is of divine
authority. This law of usury is sim
ply a human law, and as all human
laws may be amended or repealed as
circumstances require, law of divine
authority admits of no exception. God
said to Jew as well as Gentle, thou
shalt not kill-thou shalt not steal
thou shalt not lie,' and under no cir
cumstances can these laws be broken.
And every other quotation found in
any other part of the holy scripture
has to be interpreted In the light of
Dent. 23-1920, because of the priority
of Moses. And what is said in Luke,
chapter 6, verses 34,35: And if you
lend to them of whom you hope to
receive, what thank have you? For
sinners also lend to sinners, to receive
as much again, but love your enemies
and do good and lend, hoping for moth
ing again." has nothing to do with
the taking of interest, as 1t refers to
the principal: lending something With
out expecting to get anything back.
It is therefore quite lawful for any
body to receive a reasonable rate Of
interest for money lent to man
who needs it. Christian charity obli-
ges US to assist our neighbor in need,
but the lending of money cannot come
under the category of almsdeeds.
