GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
M UsHET?
Va Mushet.

MI USHET?
WI Mushet.
A'A The people of Los Angeles are
familiar with the name
They are not likely to forget it.
Can they forget the attack on the
schools? Was not this Mushet, who
now speaks so fairly, the head and
front of that offending?
Probably there was an inspirational
cause behind it. AS there was an in
spirational cause, there must have
been an active agent of this cause.
Who did the dirty work necessary for
the fight against the school bonds?
The ammunition for the virulent,
disloyal, unpatriotic, dog-in-mal--sr-
ish, malignant, mean, stupid, peevish
pestilential attack on public educa-
tion conducted in this city to the
shame and sorrow and indignation of
all good citizens, was supplied by
Mushet.
Mr.. Mushet now speaks very fairly.
His words are as smooth as oil and
butter. Yea, his language is sweeter
Inan money lTOin IIl6 llOIlSS COliiN
You see-it's the same old story. It
is one thing to be candidate, and
another thing-as the French say, a
very other thingTto be in office, laying
down the law.
Nobody can quarrel with Mr.. Mush-
cts statement of his views as to the
duties of mayor. But we know Mr..
Mushet, don't we?-
How goes the old rhyme?
"A man Of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full Of weeds"
Now that does not apply to Mr..
Mushet, because on occasion he can be
a man of deeds, but it is the differ
ence between his words and his deeds
we deplore.
1t is regrettable there should be such
inconsistency in the human charac-
ter. Education is as important to the
citizens of Los Angeles as any of the
other subjects Mr.. Mushet discussed
in the interview in which he announced
himself as a candidate who was going
to stay in the race and win.
Taking one consideration with an
other, Mr. Mushet is an uncommoniy
sanguine citizen.
Isn't he?

LOS ANGELES GROWTH

noBBRT wATCHORN, who was
X commissioner of immigration at
AO the port of New York and is an
authority on the subject OF harbors.
says Los Angeles will grow out to the
harbor she has annexed, and the sea-
port gives impetus to the development
of the city. This is the opinion of all
citizens who resided in New York be-
fore coming here. They were, of all
'consolidationists," the most enthusi-
astic, because from the first it seemed
to them such an obvious proposition
that they couldn't understand why
there should be any opposition to it.
Mr.. Watchorn is familiar with a city
of rapid growth, because New York
has been growing almost as rapidly as
Los Angeles. But we warn Mr..
Watchorn that in spite of his political
experience in Greater New York he
will find himself but political infant
in arms when he compares himself
with the grand old politicians of Los
Angeles, who, rather than yield point
or agree that perhaps the majority Of
their fellow citizens know what they
are about will move heaven and earth
and raise the place that's under the
earth in the effort to vent political
spite, crafty political grudges and sat-
isfy political spleen

WESTERN METROPOLIS

n RESIDENT TAFT told the Boston
chamber of commerce his western
4 trip was undertaken with the in
tention of enabling him to become g
greater and more efficient president
and to familiarize him with the needs
of the great section visited.
Bravo!
When he arrives in Greater Los An
geles he will be in the leading city OF
the far west. His ideas on the general
subject of California will be corrected
He will find that Los Angeles, not San
Francisco, is the city of progress, pros
perity and triumphant Americanism.
Here he will find the Yankees of
the west, hustling, bustllng, planning,
achieving.
Here he will find the midlanders of
the west-heroic in their ideas, large in
their undertakings as they are in their
physical frames; husky Of body and
brain.
Here he will find the southerners of
the west, working side by side with
the Yankees in building up this metro
politan community and lending to social
Los Angeles tenderness and softening
grace, courtesy and chivalry, which
make us so respectful to our women
folks that, in spite Of wild yells
from downtrodden nicotiniacs, the
chivalry of the city rebels against the
idea of subjecting them to tobacco-reek
and expectoration on the street cars.
Here he will find the westerners of
the west; keenly appreciative of the
truth that westward the course of en-
pire takes its way, with all America
for a hinterland and the commerce OF
the Pacific in full view; and with San
Pedro, the finest and most commodious
seaport of the west, inviting the ship
ping of the world. Here he will find
not only a national spirit but a western
spirit; not only a western spirit but a
Los Angeles spirit. And he will find a
great army of the best citizens of the
best section of the best state of the best
country In the world united in shouting
the slogan:
'Hurrah for South California. a great
free state! No railroad rule! No north
ern domination!"

RUMP TREASON

n UMP agitators are announcing
X meetings that will be rousers."
AZ They are intended to mold pub
lie opinion so that by the date of the
Rump convention there will be thou
sands upon thousands of minds with
but a single thought; thousands of
thousands of hearts that beat as one.
However we have seen this buoyant'
political expectancy in times gone by.
The Rump organizers are day dream
ers. Political Vaccinations can accom-
plish a heap of deviltry, but never
yet have they been known to bring
about the defeat of the will Of the
people, and just as surely as polit-
ical machine sets itself to combat pub
lie sentiment 1t will be put out of COM
mission, perhaps permanently.
The people of Los Angeles are not
in any mood to be fooled by Rump
trickery. The aggregation Of talent
which hopes to thwart the primaries
system Of nomination and enable the
machine to continue its career of
tyranny, corruption and greed, is show
ing sublime contempt of public in
telligence which is not warranted by
public record.
To play the game of politics is one
thing-but to seize political opportu-
mites for outwitting the will of the
people embodied in the law of the land
is not playing the game of politics"
Let us call 1t by its correct name
1t is treason.

APPROVES SENTIMENT OF
EDITORIAL ON BRoADHEAD

LOS ANGELES, Sept. S.-[Editor
Herald: 1 was greatly pleased to
read in this mornings Herald the edi-
torial relative to the reinstatement of
Broadhead. Passing the question as
to whether the jury did its full duty to
the public or not, the acquittal of
man by jury in a criminal trial does
not settle the issues should they arise
in a civil suit or an official investiga-
tion: In a criminal trial the jury must
be satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt
before it should find the accused
guilty, while in a civil suit mere
preponderance of the evidence is sut-
ficient upon which to base verdict.
In a criminal trial. where a mans
life or liberty Is at stake, 1t is we'll that
the accused should be given the hene-
fit of the doubt. But proceeding 10
remove a man from office is entirely
different. There the rule should be re-
versed. The public has right and
should demand the highest degree OF
good faith from it's public officials. II
there is any doubt as to the faithful
ness of an. officer to the public let the
public have the benefit of the doubt.
No one has an inalienable right to an
office as he has to life or liberty 1t

has been removed from Office for the

WOMEN WERE TREATED WELL
BY BABYLoNIAN CITIZENS

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 11.-[Editor
Herald; In my article of August 2S
I stated: 81 hold woman is the right
wing" Babylonia's history dates back
to at least 1000 years before Christ.
Away back in that early age we find,
Boys became free citizens at the age
of IA; women were well treated. They
could trade and own slaves, and Of
fenses against the mother were severe

place. She has been forced there by
economic conditions over which she has
practically no control.

luxuries who made wrappers at 25 cents

l agree with Widow" such women

economic slavery has made her a

SAYS SHE DID NOT DEFEND
MANS RIGHT TO BE IMMORAL

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 43.-rEditor
Herald: Replying to Helen Standish's
letter in Tuesdays Herald, 1 will say
l never questioned the motive Of her
cause, but took issue with the method.
1 never defended the right CD of man
to be immoral. l merely ignored the
interesting animal, and my letters were
specially concerned with my own sex.
Neither did Beau Brummel defend i'm
moral men; he only stated facts and
let it go at that.
Certain writer's in the Letter Box
may not be enemies Of girls who have
sinned and repented, but they showed
a wondrous proficiency in handing
birthstone to Mary Magdalene, until a
gentle-hearted woman (Modern Young
Mother) called them to time and turned
the tide.
If there was any practical friendli-
ness in "a. H. DIS" letters it would
require a strong reading glass to find
it. l may have been harsh, as Helen
Standish claims, but some people are
children in the study Of morality and
require the whip Of sarcasm, and 9TH
ers need it, but are singularly blessed
with thick skin.
We make a mistake in measuring a
man and a woman by the same stand
ard A man holds a woman as a pret-
ty plaything in his life, to be remem-
bered with a smile of qualification. She
treasures his memory as a holy image.
Does that speak we'll of her common
sense? And yet it is the gold in the
woman's nature-the innate trust and
loyalty-that let's her be duped. And
a woman loses an indefinable some
thing out of her life that is necessary
to happiness unless she has the sense
to realize that by his act the man
proved himself a seoundrel and remem-
bers him accordingly.
One who has awakened to true
judgment of her betrayer has regained
her standard as good woman by real
izing that she was slnned against,
rather than SHINING, and can only ac-
count for her former trust by UNDER
standing that her own love blinded her
reason.
The only true protection to young
girl is her enlightenment. 1t is not
necessary to tell her that all men are
bad, for such is not the case. Teach
her that virtue is her own possession,
dearer to her own conscience than to
any one else, and to be treasured self
ishly, and that any man who by word
or act oversteps the line of propriety
is to be avoided as a pestilence-as he
rightly deserves.
Helen Standish writes from the heart
"a true, loyal, motherly letter. If |
might be pardoned for comment, let
her add to her knowledge as a good
woman can, by keeping her eyes open
to the evil as we'll as the good in the
world and take her children into her
confidence, and I am confident any boy
or girl under such care will be credit
to her. MARY MAGDALENE.
