GERMAN DESIGNS

N ERMANY has been retrieved by
GT science and by chemistry. The
N predominant continental country
is growing stronger all the time, be-
cause it's producing power is being
increased all the time. The Germans
have been called a nation of scientists,
but they could be described even more
accurately as a nation of chemists.
The manufacturing growth of Ger
many is due in great measure to
skilled chemists, who know how to use
to the best advantage all raw mate
rials, and how to utilize the by-prod-
ucts of manufactures in such a way
that many new creations have been
literally saved from the refuse heap
and added to the lists of marketable
goods. If German prosperity is not to
be interrupted. MARKETS must be
found. But most Of the great markets
of the world are already pre-empted
by one or other of the great English

The board of education should take
a keen interest in aviation week and
should realize a new and important
subject of study must be added to the
school course, if that course is to be
complete and up to date.
Already the study of aeronautics has
been introduced into the. curriculum Of
the New York public schools, and
grammar school children are expert

MARINE LEAGUE
TEDERAL MARINE TRANsPol

HEDERAL MARINE TRANSPOR-
II TATION LEAGUE of the Pacific
n coast should receive the warm
sympathy and cordial support of all
citizens who realize the urgent i'm
portance of making adequate prepara-
tions for the conditions of vastly in
creased opportunity and vastly in
creased responsibility that will con-
front Los Angeles upon the opening
of the Panama canal LESS THAN
FIVE YEARS HENCE. Preparations
for the maritime supremacy of Los
Angeles must be made NOW. An inn
portant part Of these preparations will
consist in freeing the commerce of this
coast from all embarrassing re-
strictions and from all exactions. con-
spiracies, plots and schemes which
may be concocted against it by the
great corporation which sees in the
great development, progress and
prosperity of Greater Los Angeles only
an ever-increasing opportunity for ex-
ploitation.
Public vigilance will curb the cupid
ity and restrain the selfish ambition
of the Grasper, but that vigilance must
be PERPETUAL.
A statement Of the principles Of the
Federal Marine Transportation league
of the Pacific coast follows:
1.-The league will aim to assist the
work of securing to the United States
the rights of unrestricted competition
and equality Of opportunity in the pro-
'duction, exchange and distribution of
their productions, and particularly to
secure equal opportunities and unre-
stricted competition in the means of
transportation of those products by
sea to the markets of the world. We
claim that whenever competition is
restricted, production limited, exchange
or distribution retarded or impeded by
whatever cause, the public rights are
infringed, and such infringement con-
stitutes 4 public wrong.
I'VE declare the existing obligation
between the citizen and the state to
be a mutual obligation-that it is the
first and highest duty Of the state TO
safeguard public interests and remedy
all public wrongs by just enforcement
of the public rights. We demand
ample protection for the rights of
American commerce, both at home and
abroad. To further the interests of
the people we believe in the immediate
establishment and operation thereafter
of a FEDERAL STEAMSHIP LINE
for the Pacific coast from Los Aneles
to Panama, and we further believe in
the creation of absolutely free harbors.

SOCIETY REDS"

~ HIRT waist girls on strike in New
N York are being helped by society
~ Women-we mean the girls who
make shirt waists, not the girls who
wear them. The society women prob
ably represent the latter class. Among
them are Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Clar-
ence Mackay, Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont,
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Madame
Nordica and Julia MarloWe.
The society organizer who repre-
sented the strikers and asked for sub
scriptions was Miss Anne Morgan,
daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan. Miss
Morgan called a mass meeting of the
strikers at the Colony club. and the
meeting was attended by the sympa-
thetic women Of great wealth who had
contributed to the strike fund.
Now that the strike principle has
been Endorsed by the Four Hundred,
perhaps anti-labor howlers vii cease
calling the strikers reds"
American women, in some respects
the most conservative in the world, in
others are the most radical. We think
If a poll were taken It would be found
in nearly every big strike that the
sympathies Of all women, high and
low, rich and poor, are with the
strikers. But this IS the first time
women whose names are regularly
printed in the fashion and society col
umns have formed an auxiliary strike
organization and subscribed to the
fund. AS the battle for woman suf-
frage becomes more general, women
are more and more sympathetic with
the oppressed and the deprived. The
general effect of the refusal of free"
governments TO allow women 10 vote
will be to make the women "out-and-
out radicals" 1t has had that effect
in the United Kingdom. Evidently it
is having a similar effect in the United
States.

name, the others being only modlhea-
tions of two of these.
First there is the Spanish, which is
pronounced as if spelled Los Ang-he-
les. with the vowels marked in order
as follows: Long o." as in note;
"Italian A." as in far; short e." as IN
met In the last two syllables, and the
letter "g" having the hard "sound."
This is the marking of the Century
dictionary. The International mas
modified long a" instead of ''e' in
the last two syllables, and omlts the
"hard g" The Standard has only
slight difference. But these changes
being in the unaccented syllables are
scarcely noticeable. Second, the pure
English, with Los An-je-les as the
smelling, which has all the Vowels
"short" and has no nasal 6" sound.
There are no varieties of the English
pronunciation. The third is what l
have named a mongrel accent; that
is, part Spanish and part English. The
international has the first syllable of
the second part of the name marked
with a modified Spanish accent, all
the others having the English pronun-
citation. In the Standard the mongrel
has "long o. in the first syllable ana
.'long G." as in meet, in the last, While
the other two syllables have the Eng

to suit everybody.
I never heard but two persons use
the Spanish pronunciation for Los An
geles, and these were women school
teachers. While the Spanish language
in general is usually soft and musical
vet in this instance it appears to me
somewhat harsh and also difficult to
saw. | never like to employ an accent
that is extremely rare, lest 1T seem
pedantic. The mongrel pronunciation l
dislike, as in all other words. l do not
believe in mixing English and French
accents in names, as some persons do
in pronouncing Saint Louis, the me-
tropolis of Missouri. So my preference
for the pronunciation of Los Angeles
is the pure English accent. This and
the mongrel so far as my observation
goes. have about an equal number of
advocates both in this state and in the
east.
For the sake of some degree of uni
formity, recommend an official pro-
nunciation, by an act of the council,
for the name of our city. OF course,
this would not compel persons to adopt
anv certain accent nor could there be
any penalty attached to the enactment
of the city council, but in a few years

"WATCHMAN" iNDORSED
REGARDING OFFICIALS S

Los ANGELES, Dec. 15.-.IEditor
Herald: shall police ISLANDERS be
immune from punishment" asks a
Letter Box correspondent. The proper
significance of shall" is "ought to-"
so the question answers itself. Tn
questionably they ought not TO be, but
unquestionably they are.
Your correspondents query goes
direct to the heart of our national
existence, for without justice a nation
cannot long survive. Yet all these
communications to the Letter Box, all
the propaganda that the Prison Re
form league is putting out, all the
articles of such men as Mayor Gaynor
OF New York, Brand Whitlock, mayor
of Toledo, o.; Charles Edward Rus
sell, former New York Police Commits
sioners Bingham, Moss and McAdoo-
published, every one Of them. in
reputable and leading magazines
point exactly to one thing, viz, that
Justice for the poor man is nom
existent.
Without exception all these publica-
tions-and l might add scores OF others
declare that the testimony of the
police is, in most cases, utterly un-
reliable. And the matter is of the first
of prosecutions against the poor it is
the evidence of the officer that con-
victs.
Making TO some extent a speciality
of literature on this subject, l can
claim a more than ordinary acquaint-
ance with the facts, and / say that
the literary exhibit of unreliabiity
now being brought forward against
the police is without a parallel in the
history Of English-speaking nations.
You will find nothing like it In the
chronicles of Great Britain, nor can
you find anything to approach it in the
earlier records of this country. 1t
stands a colossal monument Of accusa-
tion absolutely unique.
In reality, however, the indictment
does not confine itself to the police. 1t
includes in its sweep our prosecuting
attorneys, who exhaust ingenuity to
obtain convictions; the entire detective
force employed by them to that end,
our politically appointed judges and
the whole swarm of Wardens and
iailers to whose tender care the un-
fortunate victim is finally consigned.
In other words, here is an enormous
class. having in its hands the entire
administration of justice, whose state
ments are generally distrusted.
Nothing makes so much for trouble
in family, community or nation as
suspicion of the impartialty with
which Justice is administered, and
with us the suspicion point was passed
long since.
If America should experience a
violent revolutlon-which may the
gods forefend-the historian of the
future will point to the facts watch
man and 1 allude to as the starting
ne the row. r. x, G..

WANTS COUNCIL DECISION
ON PROPER PRONUNCIATION

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 16.-[Editor
Herald: A good act for the new
council to perform when it comes into
power will be to give us an official
pronunciation for the name of our city.
This is what the legislature of Ar
kansas did some years ago, when they
decided by legislative act that the
name of their state should be pro-
nounced as though spelled Arkansaw,
with the accent on the first syllable.
There is such a variety of pronun-
Citations for Los Angeles that visitors
at first are at a loss to know which
is correct. Later they learn that al
most any way is proper, and they have
good authority to substantiate their
views.
Webster's International dictionary
gives three pronunciations for the
name of this city. The, Century has
two and the Standard two. Some per-
sons claim to have discovered three or
four more pronunciations. Some of
these are so nearly alike that only a
highly cultivated ear can detect the
difference. But there are at least three
plainly distinguished accents of the

Herald: Who and what, 1 wonder,

rabies" scare? That it is a graft
scheme rather suspect. But WHAT?
Has some merchant with a "pullT

symptoms.

FRUIT GROWERS LEAGUE

q ONE Of the prosperity Of California
- depends on the prosperity Of the
~ fruit growers. Therefore the pro
posals made by the fruit growers con-
Vention should receive the earnest con-
sideration Of citizens engaged in other
branches Of business. A league of
fruit growers is proposed This league
would consider railroad rates and other
problems.
The fruit growers are anxious for the
establishment Of a federal steamship
line on the Pacific to connect with the
Panama railroad aud Atlantic steam
ers, thus furnishing a complete freight
route in competition with the railroads.
TO the importance of securing this
federal line The Herald has called at
tention frequently.
Another good idea that found favor
with the fruit growers and that will be
advocated by them and viii be of ad-
vantage to ALL the Industries Of Cali
fornia is an increase of the powers Of
the interstate commerce commission to
prevent any advance in freight rates
unless such proposed advance is found
by the commissioners TO be JUST AND
REASONABLE.
Fruit growing is a California indus
try that is recognized all over the
world, and if the fruit growers stand
together and demand and get a square
deal their action viii be of benefit to
all the other industries of California.

most persons would fall in line, and
there would be an almost uniform pro-
nunciation of the name Los Angeles.
The best effect of such an official act
would be observed in the public schools
and the colleges, where there would
soon be almost universal uniformity.
OF course, there would be consider
able discussion before such an act was
passed, the advocates of the Spanish,
the English and the mongrel pronun-
Citations and their notifications adj
vancing arguments for their prefer
ences. But this would do no harm.
It would rather have an educational
effect. So let us have a uniform pro-
