Both Gov. Draper and his wife were

light in the wealthy society OF the
Bay. They were anxious that the
young man should 90 to college and
take up a profession preferably the
law. SO the husky young fellow

And then. when on a college-boy
jaunt he met Queenie Sanford and his
fate. Acquaintance soon ripened into
love and soon young Draper proposed.

TRUSTS

~ INCE the important flour mills OF
~ Mexico have entered into COM
~ bine governmental action will be
awaited with great anxiety. Hith-
erto the policy of Mexico with regard
to trusts and combines has been
marked by considerable vigor and en-
terprise. The Mexican government has
not hesitated to put on the free list
and actually invite the importation Of
any article Of popular consumption or
use which was trust controlled. In
this direct fashion trust after trust has
been "busted" in Mexico.
But the danger to Mexico lies in the
liberation Of trusts in the United
States and in the possibility that the
Mexican and American trusts may
combine to control the North American
market.
When the trust evil reaches this
magnitude even the most reluctant to
be persuaded of the necessity for re-
form will begin to see the force of the
declaration. Let the nation own the
trusts. If the nations of the North
American continent do not own their
trusts the trusts will own the nations

WILEY'S WARNING

TF the question who is the most
useful man in the United States?"
Il were put to the vote, and the
majority reply were DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, it would be impossible to
doubt the wisdom of the majority.
DR.. Wiley, chief of the National Chem
istry bureau, is trying to awaken ma
tional interest in the fact it is the
pestilence that walketh in DARK
NESS which menaces the welfare Of
human beings in the United States.
The invisible foes of mankind out
number the visible. If the microbes
that infest the earth were as big as
cats there would be a reign of terror,
and human beings would unite in the
determination of the pests. But since
they are smaller than cat-fleas they
are disregarded, although they are re-
sponsible for a large proportion of the
woes of the world.
DR.. Wiley says American wives
should be housewives, and not ladies
of leisure, dependent on their servants.
If the doctor lived in this state he,
would know the California housewife
is not a lady of leisure, and as rule
does not depend on her servants. AS
a rule she has neither leisure nor SER
wants. Therefore. his remarks, which
are said to apply to the average
American household" do not apply
to the average California household.
&c oh r.

well as the future citizen will be more

STATE LAWS

A n extremely important task which
II will be undertaken by the Ameri-
"A can Bar association, which will
meet this week at Detroit will be the
standardizing of state laws. Much veX-
alton, iTegularity and confusion are
caused by discrepancies in divorce,
marriage, tax, election, insurance and
corporation laws of various states, and
in the criminal codes.
While consolidation is a leading topic
Of the day at Los Angeles, there is no
doubt sentiment in favor Of d national
consolidation is growing, So different
are the rules and regulations of diff
ferent states with regard to marriage
and divorce that the comment is made

states seem to be higher than those Of
others. Nothing is more desirable than

HERALD'S AMBITION

n Ev. DIR. DWIGHT b EDWARDS
X MARVIN writes: Newspapers
~ may be classified as follows, (a)
Papers of high moral tone; CD papers
that appeal TO popular taste; (c)
papers that are purely sensational"
Curiously enough, each of these types
is represented accurately in Los An
geles. DR.. Marvin says of papers of
high moral tone: The writer's of these
papers possess a worldwide vision
and judge of and discuss municipal and
state affairs in relation to national and
international conditions and move
ments. They recognize the fact that
God is working among the nations and
seek to chronicle not merely that which
is of transient interest, but that which
is important in the making of history
Their aim is not primarily the securing
of a large amount of money, but the
imparting OF truth. Agreeing with Car
dinal Gibbons that the influence of the
press can be increased by "a strict ad-
herence to facts in recording events"
they strive for the honest presentation
Of conditions as they see them. They
may be partsans in politics, but they
are partisans from conviction rather
than from policy. In the excitement
of a political campaign they may in
tentionally distort facts or emphasize
half truths, but they do not willfully
advocate wrong measures or applaud
evil deeds. The influence of such
writers is uplifting, ennobling, and
makes for the development of Christ
ian character among the people"

PROSPERITY

A CCORDING to County Assessor
n Hopkins. Los Angeles county has
"A a record of consistent and heavy
increase in assessed valuation i'm prop
erty unequaled in the state. In seven
years the countys valuation has been
increased from $169, 226 936 to $429 35S,
O23. During the last two years, n time
of financial depression, Los Angeles has
added S4O,0000OO to its assessed vaIua-
ton.
Figures showing the immense pros
pertty-immense is the correct word
of Los Angeles county and city are
published from time to time, and it is
always safe to predict the next report
will show an increase proportionately
as great as The last, for the growth Of
Los Angeles is steady.
This growth is based ON the rapid
increase in population, and the rapid
increase in population is due to the ad-
vertising given the attractions Of Los
Angeles.
Since Los Angeles holds cut great
expectations to all who come here 10
establish a residence and educate
families, the very least newcomers can
expect is a square deal.
The reputation Of California is as
much at stake now as ever il was.
There never was a time when thorough
and exact honesty on the part of al
concerned with the development Of
California counted for more, and this
statement applies with especial force
10 the magnificent city which is now
in the making, Greater Los Angeles.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

+ OS ANGELES city council has
Il adopted a report from the harbor
IL commission recommending that
the city engineer be instructed to pro-
ceed with the survey and making of
plans and drawings for the harbor
work. This gives reasonable assur-
ance Of immediate plans for the i'm
provement of the inner and outer har-
bors of Greater Los Angeles at San
Fedro.
The commission recommends that i'm
mediate action may be taken, so that
the greater city may be informed as to
conditions at San Pedro. The COM
mission describes the harbor as "a
great Improvement made with public
money, and now being used for private
purposes"
The commission calls attention to
the fact that mot only has Los Ange-
les come into control of one of the
great harbors, but among her acqui-
sitions she can number Terminal Is
land, which presents one Of the great
bathing beaches of the coast, and one
that should receive the attention Of
this city"
In a word, the addition to the possi-
bilities of Los Angeles by its expansion
into Greater Los Angeles more than
iustifes the zeal with which far-see-
ing citizens campaigned consolidation
through to triumphant success.
