In the gorilla the thumb is short and

BIRTHDAY ODE
GOOD COUNCIL

NITIZENS of Los Angeles realize the
tremendous Importance OF having
" a council composed of good men
who will unite their efforts with those
OF the mayor in bringing about the
greatest good for the greatest number
of the people Of Los Angeles. The
mayor will be helped in his work by
the assistance of councilmen free from
machine influences, unwilling to take
orders, and eager to cooperate with
him in the execution of plans for the
betterment Of Los Angeles. The cause
of Good Government will be aided by
Good Government councilmen. The men
recommended for the council are Josias
]. Andrews, Martin F. Betkouski, Miles
S. Gregory, Robert M. Lusk, T. L.
O'Brien, Richmond Plant, William j.
Washburn, George williams and Judge
John D. Works.
With a council composed of men of
this type, Los Angeles would be pro-
tected, its interests would be helped.
it's plans would be advanced, it's pros
perity enhanced, and the program of
progress and development fulfilled that
awaits it with the completion of the
Owens river water project, with good
harbor, good roads, good power supply
and good government.

He cannot change his conviction by

nasian coufounds courage" with the
"fearlessness of a lunatic." There Is
no analogy, since the former is posi-
tive quality, acting in full view Of dan

sence of perception of risk-a mere
negation.

MORAL FORCE

TN st Johns gospel narrative Jesus
is quoted as having said, MY
4 Father worketh hitherto, and I
work" Even 10 those undiscerning
people who are so constructed they can
only take n naturalistic or material
view of the universe, the absolute ac-
curacy of this statement is apparent.
The natural world and the natural uni
verse are continually at work. Great
physical forces are being exercised
continually, and scientists have devoted
much time to investigation of the
causes which produce the effects they
perceive.
But similar effects are pereeptible in
the spiritual world, in the domain of
morality which leads us unerringly to
the conclusion the law Of cause and
effect is Of general application and not
restricted to the physical.
For some time keen observers have
detected at work throughout the United
states a great moral force that has pro-
duced among human beings and in
human society effects which if ma
lGlldllEeQ ana transferred 10 the QOilldln
Of the physical would have been
startling.
The Great Worker is at work in the
moral world, and the citizens Of the
United States, some consciously, most
OF them uncousciously, many unwilling
ly and many unwittingly, are under
going a process of regeneration, from
which this magnificent nation will
emerge greater, grander nobler, purer
and nearer the great white throne than
ever it has been before In its history.
Regeneration is playing its part in
Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is play
ing its part in the reform and uplift
of the American nation. THAT Is
what the Good Government" ticket
means to the studious observer Of af-
fairs, and a vote for the Good Govern
ment candidates not only will be a
vote for what Is best for the COM
munity, but a vote WITH the best
influences that are affecting for veal
the dcstinies of this nation, Gods
in his heaven. Alrs right with the
world"

the world are there room for countless

for all. but there is plenty for all.
Elizabeth Quigley, / see in this morn

while there is room in the world for
millions of wild, useless animals, and
while there are millions of square
miles of unoccupied land waiting to
be cultivated, surely there is room for
the children of poor people. This
theory of race suicide was advocated
long ago by Mathus, French sociolo-
gist. But it is vicious and unnatural

UTILITIES COMMISSION

TN HERE are marked differences be-
tween the councils utilities COM
u mission ordinance and the meas
ure which has the Endorsement of the
Municipal league. The council ordi-
nance provides for a commission OF
five members, the Municipal league
ordinance for a commission Of three.
The council thoughtfully makes pro-
vision for the appointment Of the COM
mission by the council, which under
certain easily imaginable circumstances
would be a delightful arrangement for
all concerned excepting the taxpayers
Of Los Angeles, who, we presume
might possibly want to have something
to say about II, as long as they are
footing the bills. In all well regulated
businesses the man who foots the bills
has something to say about the man
ner in which the bills are incurred.
The taxpayer, therefore, probably
will be better served and better pleased
by the arrangement Endorsed by the
Municipal league, which is that the
mayor should designate the appointees,
subject TO confirmation by the council.
Each member of the commission for
which the council is sponsor would re-
ceive $1,000 salary. The three members
Of the Municipal league commission
would not draw salaries, but would
give their services to the public for
the public as patriotic and conscien-
tious members OF the public.
The Municipal league ordinance
further defers to common sense and
consults public interests by providing
that the commission be empowered TO
employ such experts as it may need.
The council ordinance creates a sec
retaryship at s240O a year. OF its $4,000
appropriation the sum Of $7400 imme-
diateIy disappears in salaries, and out
Of the meager remainder all business
expenses, postage stamps, stationery,
etc, etc. incurred by the commission
must be betrayed.
The Municipal league ordinance, bus
inesslike throughout, makes an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the expenses Of
the work of the commission, and gives
the public through the commission ad-
yisorv power with regard to street
railway franchises, etc. This provision
alone. which is in accord with the
new era of Improvement and reform in
municipal politics, makes the league
crudlty, for which 1t should be sub
ordinance preferable over the council
stituted.

CONGRATULATIONS

VIZ ITH unfeigned cordiaIity Los An
w geles Herald cOngratulates its
Junior neighbor, the Times, on
the completion of its twenty-eighth
year Of useful activity. The Times
has a good conceit of itself. "The
Times" according to the Times, 'will
pursue its straight path in fearless
Righteousness, confident in its own rec
utude and discernment, and sure it
will have sooner or later the popular
verdict on all the great issues that
find it ever on the firing line"
The picture Of the Times pursuing its
straight path along the firing line Is
touching. Truly, it is the firing line.
When the Times, confident in its own
rccttude and discernment, pursues its
path, the men it adopts, the candi-
dates it boosts, the officials it backs
are ever, ever on the fling line, and
as a rule they are fired.
The editorial in which the Times
hands itself bouquets is well written.
IT would almost persuade anybody who
did not see or read the Times that the
Times was all it says 1t is.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-05
THE REAL ISSUE

"HE good citizens of Los An
geles must understand clear
Il ly that the tremendous fight
being made by the machine that
nominated the ticket that is op-
posing the Good Government
nominees is made for the purpose
of electing to the offices of may
or and city councilmen men who
will, as far as they can, put the
aqueduct and harbor expenditures
in the. hands of the machine. The
good citizens interested in the
Good Government ticket are en-
deavoring to keep these ex-
penditures out of the hands OF
the machine and put them in the
hands Of honest men and good
citizens.
The question facing the people
of Los Angeles is, Would you
prefer that the expenditure of
SIS, 100000 of the public funds on
these great enterprises during
the next two years be controlled
by a candidate for mayor who
had voted for the Fifth street de
pot steal by the Southern Pacific
and the expenditure of $4,000 Of
public funds on the voting ma
chine graft, as did Mr.. Smith?
Do you want these great eX-
penditures controlled by the city
councilmen who voted for the
river bed steal, as did Healy. and
Houghton, who voted for the
voting machine graft as did
Healy, who voted for the Fifth
street depot steal by the South
ern Pacific as did Healy and
Houghton? By men who at the
dictation of the machine voted
against the charter amendments
as did Healy, Yonkin and Lyon,
and by men who voted against a
proper public utilities ordinance,
as did these same three worthless /:
Or, citizens of Los Angeles, do
YOU want the expenditure OF
$25.OOO,OOO of the city's funds
supervised by a mayor whose
every act in an official career OF
wears in this county and cit
shows him to be honest and de
voted to the best interests OF the
people? And do you want these
great expenditures supervised by
council composed OF men like
Judge Works, w. ]. Washburn,
J. ]. Andrews, Martin F. Betkou-
ski, Miles Gregory, Robert Lusk,
T. L. O'Brien. Richmond Plant
and George Williams-men sew
cral of whom have made enviable
records as honest, efficient, faith
full public servants, and all OF
whom are known to their city
as honest, intelligent, successful
business men?
1t is up to the people OF Los
Angeles to say which group shall
control these great interests.

POINT OF ARGUMENT Is
LARGELY MISSED, SAYS r. F. s.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2S.-[Editor
Herald: In his long letter of Sunday
Athanasian shows the same error as
before-he demonstrates will and
thinks he has proved FREE will. And
again, tlike some others, he confounds
prosperity" and wealth with good
environment; not perceiving that a
poor man may be In relatively good
environment and a rich one in the
very worst. Blatchford in mot
Guilty" where he answers G.. K. Ches-
terton, shows this in mastery fashion,
1t is a book all should read.
Athanasian cites the "heroic hered-
ity' of the ancient Jews as a reason
why they should not have desired a
king. But it was that very "herolc
heredity," with it's habit Of regal pomp
and pageautry-the monarchical habit
of the world at large-that made them
want a king. They did not consent
to be enslaved" so much as they longed
(foolishly, no doubt for those tinsel
playthings of ceremony and display in
the reflected glory of which they could
all share It was the same human
trait-the same childish love of titles,
of dressing-up and parading-that we
see among men today, even in it's at
tenuated form of paraphernalia of
friendly" and secret orders, with their
banners and aprons, and their titles
.of Lord High this and Supreme Ruler
or Potentate that Cthe holders of the
titles may be Smith the shoe man or
Brown the grocer). But this, after all,
is beside the question. Athanasian
speaks of the Christian religion having
convinced" him, yet he claims free
dom of will. Having been convinced"
by this feature of environment acting
his particularly hereditary makeup,
he was not free to believe otherwise
And only by some other environment
(some more potent influence to the
