CONSOLIDATION

T A MEETING of representatives
"A of commercial and municipal
IA bodies of Los Angeles, Whining
ton and San Pedro which will be held
at the chamber of commerce this aft
ernoon. plans viii be made for the or
ganiZation of consolidation committees
in Los Angeles and Wilmington. Mr..
Fleming, secretary of the harbor COM
mission, warns all who are interested
in consolidation that the men on the
committee should be the best possible.
"They must be men whose standing is
such that when they give their word
the harbor towns will know their
promises will be fulfilled. There must
be no private exploitation. The COM
mittee must be self-sacrificing. The
harbor ought not to be made a source
of income to any interest except as it
builds up commerce for the general
good.
"The city of Los Angeles must make
no promises to the harbor towns that
it cannot fulfill Taxes paid by those
towns should be expended there, and a
general system of improvement should
be carried on until we have a contin-
uous city all the way to the sea, with
a fully developed harbor attracting
commerce from all parts of the world" :"
The meeting will be attended by rep
resentatives of the chambers of COM
merce of Los Angeles, San Pedro and
Wilmington, of the Municipal Water
ways association, Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association. Municipal
league, harbor commission and by
Capt. A. A. Fries, United States dis
trict engineer.
With committees manned" by the
faithful and public-spirlted citizens
whom we expect to see appointed,
preparations for the completion of the
good work of consolidation should go
on apace. Good citizenship will work
with zeal, energy and personal disin-
terestedness for the welfare of the big
population of Greater Los Angeles.

BRoOkLYNlTE LAuDS BEAUTY
OF THIS SECTION OF STATE

LOS ANGELES, March 9.--[Editor
Herald] If 1 should leave Southern
California without giving my views of
this beautiful country / should feel that
l was not extending square deal.
1t is not the intelligence or the we'll
clothed appearance of the people, or
their apparent happiness or prosperity
that appeals to me, so much as the
wonderful possibilities of this section
of the state.
1 firmly believe there is nothing under
heaven Except the destruction of the
worlD which can now prevent this
southern country from becoming, within
a few years, one continuous city from
the mountains to the sea, particularly
the valley and coast districts of Los
Angeles and Orange counties.
Having had extensive experience IN
the way of subdividing beach and sub
urban properties in the vicinity OF New
York and Brooklyn, I have no hes!-
fancy in predicting that a great future
is in store for the new port bay dis
tricts, including both the beach and the
islands of the bay. Combining the
climatic conditions with what nature
has already provided, this ideal sec
ton will become, within a very few
years, the show beach resort OF the
southern coast
For a winter home city Pasadena ex-
cells anything on this or any other con-
tinent. Los Angeles is already a great
commercial center; however, many of
your prominent business streets will be
remodeled along city beautiful lines. If
were q young man l would most cer-
tainly locate somewhere in Southern
California. A: II. M,

men. Nothing would more delight the
S. P. and it's auxiliaries than the re-
buke Of the recall principle. Why, if
the recall is to be invoked every time
a public servant strays from the mar
row path of public duty the political
activities of the corporations will be
sadly crippled. Since it is certain
money money, money galore will be
used in the endeavor to re-elect Mayor
Harper and defeat George Alexander,
the candidate who represents civic
cleanliness, decency and good citizen
ship, the wherewithal to pay the eX-
penses of the campaign for the defeat
of the predatory interests and the cleo
tion of George Alexander should not be
lacking. Good citizens, subscribe to the
campaign expense fund. 1t is your
duty to work, work, work for the cleo
ton of George Alexander, and to go to
the polls and VOTE FOR HIM.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-11
THE SINEWS OF WAR

TN order to conduct a campaign for
the election of George Alexander
4 as MAYOR Of Los Angeles, for the
rescue of the city from the Would-pe
spoilers. and for the rebuke of A. e.
Harper and his protected vices Whlch
have besmirched the fair fame OF the
loveliest and greatest city in all the
west, it is necessary that provision
should be made for the sinews of war.
This campaign, like any other po-
litical campaign, will entail and is en-
failing necessary expenses which must
be met. In order to provide a fund for
the purpose of defraying the legitimate
expenses incidental to the efficient con-
duct of the campaign the recall cam
paign committee asks every friend OF
the cause to subscribe what he can,
from one dollar up.
The committees headquarters are at
room 4O1 Equitable Bank building. AT
room 507 of the same building are the
headquarters of the Municipal league.
Subscriptions may be sent or left there
or NAV be transmitted to p. M. john
son, room 2O5 o. T. Johnson building.
We hope the appeal of the recall cam
paign committee for funds will meet
with prompt response. The Harperites
will have plenty of money at their dis
posal. All the regular sources of sup
ply will be opened; all the "barrels"
from which the political machine de-
rives its revenue will be tapped, and
corporationism will be told that it will
be to its interest to subscribe heavily
to the fund for the defeat of the recall
candidate, and incidentally of the recall
principle, which is odious in the eyes of
all the political bosses and machine

BROADHEAD

IF Chief of Police Broadhead knows
about the vicious conditions exist
Il ing in Los Angeles and takes no
action he does not do his duty If
Chief Broadhead believes there is no
fragrant law breaking which, calls for
police interference he is an easy mark
and not an efficient chief.
Since The Herald has shown the eX-
istence in Los Angeles of many forms
of vice which it is the duty of the police
to suppress, and since the police do not
suppress them, the public is called on
to decide whether Broadhead is inef-
ficient or Indifferent. If inefficient, is
he fit to hold office as chief of police of
this metropolitan city? If Indifferent,
is he morally fit to hold office?
But, you say, no one has preferred
charges against Mr.. Broadhead. When
a chief of police knows of the existence
of unlawful conditions, when he has o
force at his disposal, the members of
which could easily procure testimony
which would result in putting an end
to such law breaking, then by tolerat-
ing such conditions, does he or does he
not become particeps criminis?
Let us put it in another way. Moral
ly, what is the difference between q
fence" and an official who knows a
burglar is engaged in committing
crimes and makes no attempt to inter
fere? OF course no suggestion has been
made that the police of this city have
worked in collusion with burglars and
holdup men. Some of the larger and
older cities from time to time have
been exposed to the inconvenience and
dangers of a pact of this kind. In some
of the eastern cities it has been proved
that certain criminals have been all
lowed by the police to commit crimes
against property when they shared
their booty with the police.
The Herald has repeatedly called Chief
Broadheads attention to gambling
rooms running almost wide open within
a few minutes walk of the police sta
ton. Diagrams and full Instructions
how to get evidence and close the
places were sent with the letters to the
head of the police department. Not-the
slightest attention was paid to these
notifications. These same gambling
houses are still in operation, though
their patronage is almost at the vanish
ing point-thanks to The Heralds ex-
posures. There are more blind pigs
operating III Los Angeles today than at
any time in the history of the city.
Why did not Broadhead instruct the
police to insist on enforcement of all
laws? We ask Mr.. Broadhead this
direct question: Did you know of the
existence of profitable vice in Los An
geles? Do you know of the existence OF
the dozens Of dens of iniquity conducted
for revenue? Is the police force inef-
ficient under your guidance? Do your
instructions" prevent you from en-
forcing the law? Vice and law break
ing could not have been protected in
Los Angeles without the knowledge of
the police. What do you know about
the protection of vice?
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-11

Mr.. Humphreys lost no time over
wondering what line of policy he would
follow in his new office, but got right
down to business" and from the first
minute of his new experience showed
his efficiency When Mayor Harper
deliberately passed over Mr.. Humph-
reys and selected Mr.. Kern, what was
his motive? Was he really so credu-
lous or so unsophisticated as to think
Kern was a better man than Humph-
reys? He is still talking as if he held
that belief.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-11

Mayor Harper is still clamoring for
fair play. All Los Angeles wants is a
fore he is hurt. He has had nothing
but fair play, and in separating him
from office no methods but fair play
methods will be used.

Hosh Can't Scare us

According to H. o. S. Hesitand,
colonel, U. S. A.. all the militia com
panies in the United States couldn't
adequately defend New York alone,
much less the rest of the country. All
of which may be true, but at present
our time is taken up investigating
thor-rad-X. the new scientific dis
covery made of pitch blende, which is
superior to the two ounces of radium

berculosis, blows like Bohemian glass

its way as stove lids, sheet iron, etc;
consequently We'll have to let Col.

last year by "vicious gamblers, free
hooters and buccaneers" when the en-

to enact law to put a stop to dealing
