THE OLIGARCHY

MIR. HARTMAN has spoken orac-
w ularly on the subject of panics.
LII AS he is one of the favored few
mortals who are supposed to have an
inside track in the business affairs of
the United States, what he says is we'll
worthy of attention. In an interview
he declared there had been no necessity
for the 1907 panic, and added;
THAT panic was directly caused by
the extraordinary Lands decision and
the general attitude prevailing at the
time against the railroads and the cor
porations generally. 1t was panic OF
sentiment-a disaster caused by the
fear of something that did not happen.
1t frightened people into withdrawing
their money from circulation"
In plain language, the panic was a
put UP job
AS was charged at the time, it was
tantamount TO a conspiracy to dis
credit the administration. 1t was the
work of a group of traitors, finaneiers
who are in reality enemies of the re-
public. The Herald believed and
preached that a government which had
failed to control the panic or to punish
the panic makers was not worthy of
public confidence, but the people be-
lieved land with good reason) III
Rooseveltism, and elected President
Taft, not on the Republican, but on
the Roosevelt ticket.
If the administration is to be allowed
to demonstrate Rooseveltism, all will
go well with the nation and its pros
peritv will be uninterrupted. But
Hartman, speaking as if authoritative
Nv. announced on the eve of his de-
parture for Europe that he and tho
interests he represents do not intend
to let we'll enough alone or to encour-
age the return of prosperity to the
plain people of this nation. Hartman
predicts another panic and says The
next panic will be something more
serious than the last because it will
he due TO a shrinkage of business"
Mr.. Hartman does not give the date
at which the next panic may be eX-
nected. but doubtless he could name
if approximately. The nation Is evil
IDENTIFY destined to have another prac-
tica1 demonstration of the power of
few men over the population OF this
big republic. Is it not high time to
trim the oligarchy in order that the
neople of the United States may live
in peace, prosperity and freedom en-
loving life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness?

GOOD ROADS

4 CCESSIBILITY to Yosemite valley
is contemplated by the plans OF
In the California Good Roads asso-
citation. Members of the subcommittee
that prepares the sundry civil service
bill for the committee on appropria-
lions of the house or representa-
tives have received an invitation from
the association to visit the Yosemite
valley and personally examine condi-
lions and determine what cooperation
can be arranged with the state to make
the Valley of Wonders more convenient
for the masses of the people
The California Good Roads associa-
ton promises hearty support in any
measure of improvement that may be
suggested for roads in Southern Cali
fornia. 1t is desired to make the good
roads project one that will benefit all
of the state, and the officers of the as
ISOLATION say '1ocalism is no factor in
the movement"
Other things being equal, any great
public improvement that is of benefit
to any portion Of the state is Of benefit
to all of it. And it must be gratifying
to the pioneers of the good roads
movement to see the results of their
early endeavors. Good roads yield a
quick and certain return on the money
invested in them.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

~ REATER Los Angeles, with the
tT FORTIFIED harbor Of San Pc
" dro, will add to the safety as well
as the efficiency of the United States.
It will be one of the most important
strategic points in the west, and will
form an admirable base of operations
should operations ever become neces-
sary-and we trust sincerely they
never will become necessary. Give Us
peace in our time, Oh, Lord" is the
earnest prayer of every intelligent citi-
zen who understands the humanity,
barbarity, bloodshed and destruction
with which big war" would be at
tended. And as it is easier to start
prairie or forest fire than to extinguish
it, so no one can tell where or when
or how modern big war might end
1t might result in the destruction OF
civilization!
During the long period of profound
peace which will be assured by coast
fertilization and by other measures OF
precaution, Greater Los Angeles will
have a history of constant growth and
expansion and of ever increasing use
fulness.
Consolidation will be a blessing to
all Southern California, which will
have its maritime metropolis, and on
the completion of the Panama canal
will derive many advantages from the
all water route for the freightage of
coast products.
And before the completion of the
canal, added railway facilities, mag
nifcent new station and automobile
and autovehicle traffic over good roads
will give our city the undisputed and
indisputable leadership in the far west.
Greater Los Angeles will be one of
the principal cities on the North Ameri-
can continent, and consolidation is
"MUST'' on the program of the harbor
cities and of Los Angeles.

MUNICIPAL MUSIC

OS ANGELES in course of time
will be the literary, musical and
= educational metropolis of the
United States, and it has already
made such progress along these aes-
thetic paths that in the west there is
none to dispute it's supremacy. A
brief review of present conditions in
dicates what might be accomplished if
a municipal music commission were to
be appointed, with enough power and
money to enable it to carry out plans
and arrangements that might be made,
The musical, artistic and literary. ele-
ment in the life of Los Angeles is very
great. 1t forms an appreciate and east
1y discernible percentage of the popu-
lation. In this city are 1900 successful
music teachers, and in the public
schools are thirty orchestras with a
membership of several hundred young
players. If a municipal music commits
sion were established there could be
! selected from the children several hun
bred picked players, and excellent or
chestras of fifty pieces could be con-
stituted. The children doubtless would
gladly play for the honor of represent
ing the city. So the concerts would
cost the city little or nothing, and
would be in the nature of a return for
money expended in giving the children
a musical education.
There are many fine "voices" among
the public school children and an ex-
cellent Juvenile chorus could be as
sembled without much trouble, and not
only could take part in the concerts
given regularly by the orchestra, but
could sing at all great public celebra-
tions.
| A municipal musical commission
could also organize municipal band,
! for whose services there would be a
great demand. Many men well quail
fed to act as members of musical
! commission are citizens of Los An
geles. and an appeal to their patriot
! ism would doubtless meet with a ready
! response.
The chamber of commerce has a
music and art committee, and we believe
the members of the municipal music
commission could cooperate with the
committeeman in perfecting plans for
a great MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL,
which might, could and should be held
in Los Angeles next year. In making
preparations for a festival worthy of
Los Angeles, the commission and COM
mittee could cooperate with the main
body of the chamber of commerce and
with other civic organizations.
The festival might be held in Agri-
cultural park. By making sunken ter
races there 10000 people with ease and
comfort could listen to the music of
the municipal band, the childrens or
chestra and chorus in big, beautiful
out-of-doors auditorium.

enmity toward God" True, and this
being so proves that there is a force
which is antagenistic toward God, and
with which God, or good, must con-
tend. So man, having been created in
the image of God, was given a choice
of becoming either a negative creature,
knowing only good, or positive being,
knowing both good and evil Though
not necessarily a partaker of eviD, cap
able of reasoning on plane of true
companionship with God, and his coad-
tutor in the suppression of evil.
That man chose to be a reasonable
being rather than a mere toy, let us all
be thankful, for thereby only we be-
come the sons of God. What benefit
would have accrued to the city of Los
Angles had the men who comprise The
Herald newspaper company been able
to comprehend good only where known
evils existed?
If, as ar. N" declares, adam hav-
ing sinned, was not a child of God,
hence had only a fabulous existence"
we would ask of him that question of
Pilates, propounded to those old Jews
on a certain solemn occasion, What
will you do with Jesus who is called
the Christi" ANXIOUS.

LEMONS

Wy ITH protection to the lemon in
w dustry, which is a genuine ma

like tea, there should be "a great i'm
provement in conditions. The lemon
market has been extremely unsatis-

eastern lemon users to patronize home
industries. They cannot get it
through their heads" the California
lemon is better than imported fruit.
But the tariff on lemons seems to be
a genuine attempt to foster a home
industry which has been almost
swamped by foreign competition, and
it is believed lemon growers, who have
been unusually gloomy of late, soon
will be smiling.
Held in storage, awaiting better
prices, are at least 1900 cars of Cali

It is hoped the new tariff will be-

nestly the railroad will not think the
tariff has been devised especially for
it's benefit. They want fair rates and
square treatment in order that their
product may reach eastern markets
in good condition and they may receive
the benefit of the fair prices that may
now be expected.

THE CALF PATH
GReprlnted by requestl.


One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home, as good calves should,
But made a trail all bent askew,
crooked trail as all calves do.
Since then three hundred years have fled,
And l infer that calf is dead.
But stil he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell wether sheep
Pursued the trail Ger vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too.
As good bell wethers always do
And from that day, DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was made.
And many men wound in and out
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such crooked path.
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations Of that calf.
And through this winding woodway stalked,
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became road,
Where many a poor horse with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And Travelled some three miles in one,
And thus a century and half
They trod the footsteps Of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness feet,
The road became a village street,
And this, before men were aware
citys crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
OF a renowned metropolis;
And men. two centuries and half,
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed this zigzag calf about,
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic Of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years a day.
Tor thus such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent
A moral lesson this might teach
Were l ordained and called to preach;
For men are prone to go it blind
Along the calf paths Of the mind.
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track
And out and in and forth and oack'
And still their devious course pursue
To keep the path a sacred groove
Along which all their lives they move;
And how the wise old gods laugh
Who saw the first primeval calf
All, many things this tale Nigh teach-
But I am not ordained to preach

When a city official violates the
speed limit with his automobile the
task of persuading the public to drive
moderately becomes discouraging. We
hope the police will continue to arrest
all speed maniacs, even when they are
on the city's payroll. A citizen killed
by an automobile driven by an official
would be just as dead as if he had
been hit by an auto driven by a pri-

HAWAIpS AUTO
MAKES TROUBLE
County Fathers Didn't Call
For Bids; Liable
Under Bond

llLO. Oct. 19.-The troubles at
tending the purchase OF the Gaspar
automobile by the County appear
not 20 be over As matter of fact,
It would seem M IL the real fun was
lust about 10 commence.
Deputy County Attorney Carl
Smith says that the Supervisors had
no right to buy the auto without
first calling for bids. This conten-
ton Is based on the law which com
pels the Supervisors to call for bids
for wJrl. or material which involves
an expenditure of more than $500.
Tho question now appears to be
whether Auditor Mcguire or the
County Fathers are the ones to be
held liable under their bonds.
Auditor Mcguire stated last week
That the Deputy County Attorney
had told him shat he had better get
the thuuglnd dollars paid for the
automobile back from Joe Gaspar,
as otherwise suit would be Instituted
on his bond, rs the purchase had
Been made without authority Of law.
In the meantime the warrant for the
money had already been sent to Gas
par. This gentleman had as a mat
ter Of fact, already been paid the
bulk Of the money before the pur-
chase was authorized By the Super
Vlsors AZ their last meeting. through
some little arrangement, the details
Of which are not quite clear. Ma
Euire said that he did not want to
appear rs fool and ask Gaspar to
give the money back after 1t had
once been given to him.
1T is true that did tell Mr.. Ma
guirc TO do that or there would be
suit brought on his bond" said Mr..
Smith. However, | told him that
merely MS private suggestion, and
! am surprised that he should have
told It to anyone.
AS matter Of fact, the County
has no right TO make purchases of
this kind without first calling for
bids"
Wen do you anticipate that
thero win actually be suit brought
on the Auditors bond?" Mr.. Smith
was asked.
! cannot say just what will hap
pen now was the reply. II wish
inst to consult with one or two par
ties who are interested in the mat
ter. I should be very sorry to see
Mr., Mcguire to get into trouble over
this matter, as he is an official who
is trying his best to do his duty.
Furthermore, the Supervisors are, as
matter Of fact liable under their
bonds also, and the question is
whether they are not the parties who
should be held liable, rs they arc the
ones who rush into things without
amy regard 10 The consequences and
without caring for tho laws. milo
