chserfuIness and Mlrth.

II have always preferred cheerful.
ness to mirth. The latter l consider
as an act, the former as a habit Of the.
mind. Mirth is. short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great.
est transports of mirth who are sub.
ject to the greatest depressions Of mel
ancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness.
though 1t does not give. the mind such
exquisite gladness. prevents us from
falling into any depths Of sorrow.
Mirth is like fash of lightning that
breaks through gloom Of clouds ana
glitters for a moment: cheerfulness
keeps up a kind Of daylight In the
mind and fills it-with steady and per.
petual serenity. Addison.

White Strawberries.

A German grower, of Berkeley, has,
after 20 years of experimental work,
produced two new strawberries, one
of which is quite white. The fruit
is studded with fine seeds upon the
outside, as are ordinary strawberries.
Otherwise 1t is totally different from
them. The plant bears throughout the
winter in congenial climate, similar
to that which exists in the south Of
England, and, when set in frames
during the winter, will bear freely till
Christmas. Tic berries arc large and
of excellent flavor, equaling in these
respects the Paxton and Royal Sow
ereign.
Vintage Nicknanes.
We have nicknames for the vintages
which few persons except the wine
drinkers know. Thus the vintage Of
the present year we call Zeppelin, in
honor of the air navigator's achieve
rnent and because it is so high. Rec
ords show that these nicknames were
bestowed on vintages as far back as
1929, when the bad-watered wine was
called Baptist"
The sour wine Of 1860 was called
Garibaldi, and in memory Of the Chi
nese war the 1894 wine is still known
as Weihaiwet. The vintage of 1896
promised much and gave little, and was
nicknamed Ii Hung Chang, and an
other nickname for the same years
wine, Moses, was given because the
wine was taken from the water priuci-

CONQUEST OF AIR

Professor II. La V. Twining of the
Polytechnic high school believes the
principles of bird flight may yet be
the principles of human flight, and
that by learning the lesson of the
birds mankind may solve the problem
of Independent motion and flight in
the upper air. Professor Twining has
said the day will yet come when bird
fight, that mystery which has bafflef
all investigators, will be attained by
man, who by means Of artificial wings
will fly as birds do. In this event,
fight will revert to first principles.
because the earliest inventors of whom
there is any record tried to fly with
artificial wings.
Professor Twining's interesting inves-
LEGATIONS will help establish the SUI
premacy of Los Angeles as a center of
aerial study and experiment. This is
an ideal place for experiments of the
kind that must be made, and some of
the foremost aeronauts and aeronau-
tic students of the country make their
homes and headquarters in this city.
1t is probable the conquest of the air
may be completed at Los Angeles.

BOOTHS MESSAGE

~ EN-. WILLIAM BOOTH, the patri.
eT arch of the Salvation Army, who
VI will celebrate his eightieth birth
day next Saturday, has prepared for
the American people a message of
which it may well and with reverence
be said: He that hath ears to hear,
let him hear"
ION my eightieth birthday I tell the
American people this" says General
Booth: IF they will seek the honor of
God, the reign of righteousness, the
welfare of the friendless poor, with the
same self sacrificing activity with which
they seek the wealth and pleasures of
this world, they will have good chance
of finding that life of satisfaction which
so often eludes them, and of building
up a pattern nation for the world to
initiate"
There are many people who had not
the good fortune to be born in the
United States, as we'll as many citizens
trained in Americanism who will SYM
pathise heartily with the spirit of the
gray generals message.
Los Angeles Herald has repeatedly
called attention to existing inconsist-
encies between profession and practice.
between precept and deed. The princi-
pies which should guide this nation are
defined in carefully chosen language,
marked by clearness and simplicity
scriptural, indeed, in its direct force
fulness and freedom from ambiguity.
The keynote of all is that the govern
ment of the country should be of popu-
lar origin, should derive all its powers
from the people, and should practice
domestic and foreign policies which
will be most likely to bring about the
greatest good for the greatest number
of the people,
The Herald has maintained that, sub
ject to the notifications and variations
produced by circumstances, environ
ment and evolution, the fundamental
first principles are still active, and
should be the only standard by which
the success of the nation can be de-
termined. America should not be
judged by other nations. lesser breeds
without the law" as many of them well
might be termed, because we have THE
LAW that should govern our national
as well as our individual conduct.
We must be Judged only by our own
self-set standards, not by the perform
hnces or failures of other nations which
have made no pretext of an ethical
trend in government; and are not liv-
ing up to an established and defined
standard, but are still cropping, expert
menting, stumbling and laundering.
The great advantage America enjoys
over other nations, an advantage which
is similar to that which for long
time, and until materialism betrayed
and ruined it, was enjoyed by the He
brew nation, is that she has written
code of ethics by which the national
and the individual conduct should be
guided.

PUBLIC OFFICE

MAYOR ALEXANDER has select
N ed for his associates on the po-
AVA lice board S. C. Graham, chair
man of the recall campaign COMMITTEES,
a prominent reformer who takes an
active interest in the improvement ana
the true greatness OF Los Angeles; D.
K. Trask, formerly judge of the SUI
perior court, one of the ablest attor-
neys and best known jurists in the
state; ]. J. Andrews one of the sign
ers of the minority grand Jury report,
which helped to bring about the i'm
proved condition in local official life
which exists today, and John Topham,
foreman for the Union Oil company,
who is well known for his conscien-
tiousness and integrity. The mayor is
determined to invite the best men
available to serve on his commissions,
and announces that henceforth he will
refuse to take mo" for an answer. He
says he will draft his commissioners;
that the men he names will be expected
to serve, and there will be no backing
out. In this attitude with respect to
men for the public service the mayor
asks and expects the public to support
him.
The mayor says the responsibility is
not entirely his, and that it can hardly
be expected commissions will be of the
right sort unless good citizens are will
ing to serve on the boards or to assist
in making selections. He was particu-
larly anxious that the police commits
sion and police force should be brought
up to a high state of efficiency. He
says many important changes are
needed If the police force is TO be inn
proved. A strong police commission
will bring about the necessary reforms.
1--WE cannot have good commissions
If the right kind of citizens refuse TO
serve on them" he said in an inter-
view. Surely we have eminent and
qualified men In Los Angeles who will
be willing-as they should be for the
city's good-to sacrifice something for
the common cause of good govern
ment."
Public service is one Of the duties
of good citizenship. We hope our
worthy mayor will be Loyalty helped
in his endeavors to provide for Los
Angeles a square deal administration
and that the men of his choice will
serve in the offices for which he be-
lieves they are best fitted. Public
office is a public duty as well as a
public trust.

AOUEDUCT WORK

u" OW MUCH greater and more just
III ly renowned are the victories of
IL peace than those of war is again
being exemplified by the Los Angeles
aqueduct construction work, which is
being rushed along at record break
ing pace. The American thirty-one day
tunnel record for boring excavation in
hard rock with two shifts at work has
been broken; and twice in succession
the American three-shift record has
been broken. j. B. Lippincott, assist
ant chief engineer, is quoted as having
said: The speed is most surprising,
and while tabulations are not available,
the men feel confident that they Lave
cut notch a little bit higher than
any before them"
While to a skilled observer like Mr..
Lippincott the speed is most surpris-
ing. the public will refuse to be sur
prised by it, for the good people of Los
Angeles have become accustomed to
record breaking feats, and while they
may be elated over new achievements
they are not surprised.
The Herald extends to all the chiefs,
heads and foremen and
workmen who are rendering distin-
guished service in the aqueduct con-
struction it's heartiest congratulations.
The community appreciates the eff
cheney and fidelity to duty that are be-
ing shown by the aqueduct force.

Herald: Golfers calls attention to
1.-THE Pittsburg Survey" which, 1t
says, is rounding up its study, so ac-
curate and thorough, into the condi-
lions of the American steel worker.
Here is the extract it gives from the
report:
"The unadorned fact remains that in
our most highly developed industrial
community, where the two greatest in
dividual fortunes in history have been
made, and where the foundations of
the two most powerful business cor
porations have been laid, the mass

try are driven as large numbers of
laborers, whether slave or free, nave
scarcely before in human history been

What an encouragement all this is
to building up a rich manufacturing
center in Los Angeles! However, we
have a large number of persons in
this community who can talk your
head off about mind and matter, Chris
tian Science and spiritualism, to say
nothing of the ability to quote the
scriptures from Genesis to Revelations.
Add to these the good people who are
positive that everything will be lovely

S. P. INSTRUMENTATION

T p. ericsson, traffic manager for
II the Associated Jobbers of Los
II Angeles in predicting strong
possibility of a revolution in freight
rates within the next two years, says
we must go ahead and develop San
Pedro harbor as soon as possible, for
every interior point will attack our
position, and we must be able to de-
fend it with water transportation. In
order to show the nature of the mis-
statements or misrepresentation Los
Angeles has to contend against, Mr..
Gregson quoted J. C. Stubs, assistant
general freight agent of the Southern
Pacific, who, according to Mr.. Gregson,
at an interstate commerce commission
hearing at Phoenix, Ariz., said Los
Angeles does not receive much freight
through San Pedro.
81 do not believe he was trying to
detract from Los Angeles Importance
said Mr. Gregson. He simply was
not posted on conditions"
This is a charitable way in which
to put it, because a gentleman who is
not posted on conditions has no bust
ness to talk positively on a subject
which has everything to do with the
conditions on which he is not posted.
Such testimony as this is not expert"
1t is farcical.
The Los Angeles consolidation COM
mittee next Thursday will inspect and
inquire into the possibilities Of San
Pedro harbor With gentlemen con-
nected with the Southern Pacific road
making misstatements inadvertently
and because they are not posted on
conditions it is obviously the duty of
the consolidation committee to engage
in some missionary work in order that
mischief making laundering on the part
of Southern Pacific representatives
may be avoided. The committee should
take pains to make the Southern Pa
cific people fully aware of the meaning
and purpose of consolidation, otherwise
some other Southern Pacific emssa-
ries may inadvertently continue to dis
seminate transformation at the ex-
pense of Los Angeles.

YELLOW DREAMERs

nights happy dream is the real
story of the former presidents peace
full journey. The strenuous activity of
the yellow journal correspondent is in
some respects admirable Here is a
man who is showing undaunted cour-
age. He writes unmindful of past,
present or future. In his bright lexi-
con there is no such word as here
after. He is regardless of conse-
quences and reckless of results. He
evidently believes or has been told it is
his business to spin yarns for an eager
public, and he is a yarn spinner. He
is travelling dictionary; a gazetteer OF
inventions; a recorder of patent Mum
chausenisms. His Imagination is his
stock in trade If he could only train
himself to throw fits and to entertain
recurrent Authorizations he would be
an ideal man for the job.
AS it is, he is constantly showing
signs of his Improvement in the gentle
art of cozening the public, and he may
yet reach such pitch of plausibility
that his contributions to matutinal
yellow literature may be read with
respect, and not with incredulous jeers
Up to date the yellow correspondent
with Theodore Roosevelt is a Merrie
Jest. and when ne returns home he
must be careful to keep out of the
way of the Strenuous One, who upon
reading in the newspaper files and
clippings the strange and surprising
series of grotesque and gyrational
gambols in which he has been hys-
terically and numerically exhibited,
will be strongly tempted to turn on
his yellow traducer-should he be
