GREATER LOS ANGELES

T OS ANGELES is making splendid
l progress, and opposition to the
~ greatest good of the greatest
number is suffering crushing defeat
after crushing defeat. The recent his
tory Of this city has been a consistent
illustration of the triumph of right
eousness and Americanism. The good
work will not be interrupted, and the
creation of Greater Los Angeles will be
another magnificent achievement in
metropolitan municipal history
On tomorrow 1t is the duty of all who
are interested in the continued progress
Of our city to vote for Greater Los
Angeles and to see to it that their
friends and neighbors vote. Get out
the vote, and the results will take caro-
of themselves; that is to say, the bigger
the vote cast the bigger will be the
victory for consolidation.
Interests inimical to the progress and
prosperity of Los Angeles and San Pc
dro are making desperate efforts to
snatch victory from defeat. In their
eleventh hour scramble to save their
graft they will stop at almost nothing.
The enemies of consolidation should
not be dealt with like ordinary political
antagonists. They are not "antago4
nists." They are truly enemies" the
enemies of progress, the enemies of
righteousness, the enemies of Ameri-
canism, the enemies of the people.
Every patriotic endeavor must be
used to bring out the full voting
strength Of the loyal army Of good cit
lens who realize the overwhelming i'm
portance of a victory for consolidation
at this time. Construct Greater Los
Angeles NOW, and the richest promises
of the future will be realized.
These days will forever be remem-
bered in the history of this city and
Southern California. They are days of
preparation for the magnificent future
Of maritime metropolis unrivaled IN
the west, and in some respects without
peer en- the North American con-
tinent. Supremacy will be the reward
Of the patriotism that will eliminate
corporationism from the future career
of this city. And every citizen who
helps to construct Greater Los Angeles
will share in the benefits. Greater
Los Angeles will be a city of the pe"-
pIe constructed for the people and
ruled bv the people Vote for consoli-
dation and remind your friends of their
duty to vote.

the right of one political party to crit
icise the actions of the political party in
power.
We quote from the free speech mani
festo: "The constitution of the United
States declares that congress shall
make no law abridging the freedom of
speech. The issue that confronts us is
this: Shall the police be allowed to
usurp powers that are denied to con-
gress and the legislature?
"THE CONSTITUTION PROVIDES
THAT NO EXCEPTION BE MADE.
IT GUARANTEES FREE SPEECH TO
ALL A right established at such cost
as was paid by the trainers of the con-
stitution is not to be surrendered now
at the behest of ignorant police"
No exception can be made. That is the
point that seems to be stumbling
block to some officials, who seem to
think there is a governmental censor
ship of public speech, and they have
the right on occas sion to act as deputy
governmental censors. In the United
States everything is orthodox in re-
ligion and politics that Is not at vari-
ance with the first principles of Amert-
canism, and we regret to be compelled
to believe heresies against American
ism are more generally uttered by those
to whom the word propriety is a fetish
than by those to whom the golden rule
is a literal mandate.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-11
FREE SPEECH

A FIGHT for free speech, similar to
n that which was WON in Los An
IA geles, is raging in New York, with
the police on one side and a formidable
free speech committee on the other. We
saw formidable" because of the intel
Iectual power represented by it's mem-
hers. among whom are Bolton Hall,
Alexander Irvine, j. G. Phelps Stokes
Pose Pastor Stokes, Charles Edward
Russell. Clarence S. Darrow and Grace
p. Potter and a dozen others of note.
These citizens take the position as
serted successfully by Los Angeles
Herald that nobody in the United
States is bigger than the Declaration of
Tndependence and the constitution, and
that the founders of the United States,
among whom were freethinkers and
radicals, would have been the last hui
man beings in the world to have in
terfered with the rights of their
brethren to hold public meetings and
make public speeches, even if the sub
iect matter of the speeches is at vari-
ance with the views Of the party in
mower. For that matter, any assertion
of a governmental or police right to in
terfere with teachings that are not in
accordance with the orthodoxy of the
day, political or other, is denial Of

better for Subscribers religion. Fuse
bus, the first ecclesiastical historian,
who f1ourished during the council OF
Nice, established a precedent by multi
ating history.
To place the halo of originality
around the Bible it will first
be necessary to eliminate paganism,
such as Krishna, Gautama and others.
"Whatever you would not that others
should do unto you, do not ye unto
them," was taught by Confucius $500
years ago. Beyond this moral rule or
Golden Rule, this sympathy and love
for one another we know absolutely
nothing. "a new commandment give I
unto you, that ye love one another"
was taught by Jesus. However, this
pertains to ethics, and not to religion.
The sacred writings of the Hebrews
were considered allegorical fiction by
Rabbi Maimonides and many learned
Jewish writer's. Philo, contempora-
ry with Jesus, considered them fiction.
Many of the early Christian fathers de-
clared that In the story of the creation
and fall of man there was but an alle-
gorical fiction. st. Augustine and ORR
gen declared the same. In the name OF
religion and the betterment of human
ity, let us not mutilate history. Hy-
patia and Cyril cannot exist together.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5.-[Editor

August shows the writer has given
his subject much thought, and some OF

Religion has been elevated to a higher
level by agnosticism, and this factor Is
forging on. Religion is not directing
force, but propelling force. If histo-

that religion as propelling force mas

question naturally arises. Can this
force be used for good only?
There will always be religion, and II

DO YOUR DUTY

THE Herald earnestly urges
on the citizens of Los An
\ geles the duty of going to
the polls and voting for consoli-
dation tomorrow.
Do not let the overwhelming
way in which consolidation was
carried in this city by good cit
liens on the 4th instant induce
you to refrain from dong your
duty in the election held tomor-
row for consolidation with San
Pedro. y
1t is always the duty of a good
citizen to vote at every election.
It is much more the duty Of a
good citizen to vote at an cleo
ton when on one side are ar
rayed the people and their rights,
and on the other side special in
terests who are opposing the peo-
pie and endeavoring to trespass
upon their rights.
Consolidation with San Pedro
is much more bitterly contested
by certain special interests than
was the consolidation with Viii
mington. 1t is quite within the
bounds of possibility for these
interests to muster sufficient
votes in the city of Los Angeles
to defeat the measure here, If the
people should be 50 careless as
to refrain from voting.
Let every man feel that his
vote is necessary to the triumph
of the cause Of right in this elec. l,.
ton, just as he should feel S that h;
his vote is necessary to the trl-
umph of right in any other cleo
ton where right and wrong are
pitted against each other.
Let all good citizens do their
duty as good citizens, and vote.

THE MILLION MARK

~ M. PIERCE, whose business as
a promoter Of excursion trips
~ puts him in a position to discuss
authoritatvely the tourist traffic and
its effect on this city and this section
of the country, says Los Angeles Is
hound to become a city Of one million
inhabitants in ten years. Many OBJ
servers Of the growth and progress and
prosperity of Greater Los Angeles have
reached the conclusion 1T will be a city
of a million, but they have not VEN
tured to calculate approximately the
date at which the million mark viii
be reached.
Mr.. Pierce, of course, bases his pre-
diction on the certainty of the forma-
ton Of Greater Los Angeles. To him
and to all citizens who are interested
keenIy in our metropolis it is unthink-
able that corporation influences should
succeed in bringing about even tenn
porary interference with the march Of
Greater Los Angeles toward the mill
lion-inhabitants record.
