OUR HARBOR

NJ EMBERS of the City club who
N visited the harbor cities yester-
A'A day set an example which all
citizens should follow. This was moth
ing unusual, because sthe club has al
ways been a pioneer in good citizen
ship. But in the case of the harbor
their example is particularly COM
mendable, because it is greatly to be
desired that the citizens of Los An
geles should take a keen, live interest
in the harbor and from personal OBJ
servation as well as from hearsay or
from published matter should be IA
miliar with the progress and the pros
poets of the harbor of Greater Los
Angeles.
The population of Los Angeles
should realize the maritime aspect Of
our city. They should think in terms
of ocean west" as we'll as "back east. -
If there was not another argument
that could be presented in favor of
consolidation this one would be suffi-
cient. that the step will bring the
people of Los Angeles to a closer,
keener realization Of the unity of
interest of Los Angeles and its sea-
port.
The City club yesterday prepared
the way for what should become a big
institution" of Los Angeles life,
namely. a popular, weekly Saturday
excursion to the harbor. We hope
arrangements will be made for Seeing
the Harbor' outings, and that they
will be conducted under the leader
ship of men who can explain to the
citizens what is being done and will
be done to make the harbor of Greater
Los Angeles the finest seaport on the
west coast of America, North or South.
Instead of taking "a trip into the
country" citizens will take "a run
down to the harbor," and will return
home with a realizing sense of the
world-prospects of Greater Los An
geles. No man can visit the harbor
without becoming a consolidation en-
thusiast, and the consolidation cleo
tion should result i'm an overwhelming
majority for Greater Los Angeles.

Matrimony in Los Angeles is now a
catechetical ordeal. The elaborate rec
ord of the age, nationality, antecedents
and genealogy of the bride and groom
cramps the hands of the clerks and
limbers up their vocabulary The pre-
cautions now being taken to secure the
validity of matrimonial contracts may
prevent trouble, and diminish the activ-
ity of the divorce mill-a consummation
devoutly to be wished.
