GREATER LOS ANGELES

nY the Terminal Island pavilion
X meeting the success of the con-
~ solidation movement was fore
shadowed and indicated. One of the
speakers said epigrammatically, "Com-
merce does not come to closed door,"
and San Pedro harbor will open a wide
door for commerce. A great deal has
been said about the opening of China"
but Greater Los Angeles will mean the
opening Of the South Pacific coast and
q vast productive territorial eXpanse.
The development Of San Pedro harbor
and the upbuilding of the commerce of
Greater Los Angeles after consolidation
will be followed, comparatively soon, by
a great widening Of opportunity which
will come with the Panama canal.
When that is completed the harbOr Of
Greater Los Angeles will indeed be an
open door to the commerce of the world,
and Greater Los Angeles will take its
place as the foremost commercial mari
time city of the far west and one Of
the foremost in the world.
Exclude deleterious interests from the
power Of restricting the growth and
prosperity of Greater Los Angeles, or
Of diverting it's growth to their own
purposes and sequestrating its prosper
ity, and the great free city will rapidly
become the metropolis Of the west.
Freed from restraints, hindrances, in
terruption, all the baleful influences
comprised in the word corporation
ism" Greater Los Angeles Will come
into it's cwn, the undisputed and indis-
putable premiership of the far west.

BUSINESS EXCELLENT

Z OS ANGELES bank clearings
/ showed a decided prosperity in
n crease over the figures for the
corresponding day last year and two
years ago. The figures were SS,o76,-
6O5.44, an increase of $1,165, 5,O17.77 over
last year. The clearings on the cor
responding date two years ago were
50, 3S9O2444
Not only are banking and financial
conditions in Los Angeles excellent,
but, as The Herald has reported
business transacted on the stock ex-
change for the first six months of 1909
far exceeds that Of the first six months
of last year. 1t is believed the busi-
ness will sbe nearer SGOOOOOO than $5,-
100000, as was first predicted.
All industrial and manufacturing in
terests are in an active and healthy
condition, and by the prospect Of
Greater Los Angeles, San Pedro harbor
and a world market greatly encouraged
to persevere in their development.
Financially, commercially, industrially,
Los Angeles is fourishing, and excel
lent business conditions are reflected
everywhere in the happy homes, busy
stores and all the multifarious human
activities which find encouragement in
our thriving metropolis.

MAKES FINAL STATEMENT IN
WINE OF BIBLE CONTROVERSY

LOS ANGELES, June 2S-[Editor
Herald1: The blindest are those who
have eyes and refuse to see. Savona-
rola needs to learn logic or get a die
tionary and learn the meaning of the
word wine before attempting to argue
from mere belief in his own distorted
notions. Is 1t a wild assertion on my
part when / make correct statements
from the words of Jesus: Drink ye
all of it?" My quotation: 81 am the
true vine and my father the husband
man." is in correct relation, for the
vine implies the fruit thereof, the vine
of itself is Of no earthly use except to
be consumed by fire.
There is nothing in nature which es-
sentially can be called evil, as also
there Is nothing material which can be
called sacred but the human mind
makes it so. The evil is not in the
thing but abuse thereof. AS for Saw
onarola talking of wild assertions, the
following is a sample of his own: IF
Jesus made intoxicating wine and
taught men to drink 1t, ask, reVerent-
ly, was he not a greater enemy of the
race than the devil?" My statement:
Take away wine and you destroy
Christianity" / will further illustrate
thus: The entire physical universe Is
the basis and continent of the spirit
ual, as the human body is the basis
and continent of the soul. Destroy the
body and you cut off the soul from
its earthly existence. Bread and wine
in the Lords supper are the material
symbols of the spirituallzed flesh and
blood of Christ. He says so himself
and the covenant with him is sealed
by bread and wine; unfermented drink
is not wine and in this case substitu-
tion. which amounts to the same thing
as adulteratlon, wherefore it breaks
the covenant with him, is of no effect
and does not .conjoin.
condemn the daily or regular use
of wine or spirits and do not use them
myself in that way. They were in
tended and reserved for feasts and SOL
emn occasions, and as such they are

BENEVOLENCE

A TTRACTED to Los Angeles by the
n Elks, other benevolent fraternities
"A and bodies will hold meetings here
during Elks' week. and if we may use
an expressive word for the coinage Of
which we are not responsible next week
in our always busy metropolis GER
tainly will be a -dinger." Among
the benevolent orders that have an
nounced their intention of convening
in Los Angeles during Elks' week is
the Grand Fraternity, the supreme
lodge of which is in Philadelphia. The
state convention of its California lodges
will be begun Monday.
America is distinguished for the num-
Der of its benevolent organizations. The
brotherhood of man and the comrade-
ship of citizenship are exemplif1ed in
many ways and the general effect upon
the national life is very marked. In no
other country in the world do heart
and hand work together for the com
mon good and for the benefit of hu-
manity as they work In the United
States. This is not only the greatest
country in the world, but the BEST.

SPEED ORDINANCE

FINDER the proposed new speed or
dinance all drivers Of automobiles
~ viii be required to secure a per-
init from the police commission, which
has authority to revoke the permit at
will; the applicant must be examined
before a permit is issued: a Jail SEN
tence of not less than ten days nor
more than fifty win be the punishment
for the first violation of the speed or
dinance, exceeding thirty-fve miles
an hour, and Jail sentence Of not less
than thirty nor more than one hun
dred days imprisonment will be i'm
posed for a second violation at the
same excess speed; and there will be
a Jail sentence for the third offense
of violating the speed limit of twelve
and twenty miles as it exists under the
present ordinance if the third violation
occurs in less than a year.
Members of automobile mems organ
izations are taking the lead in placing
restraints on speed maniacs and care
less persons. Automobiling is not only
a sport" but a great modern pub
lie convenience, and the automo-
bile is no longer only a "rich mans
toy" but is one Of the most useful
parts Of the equipments of modern civ
ilization. Since the automobile is part
of the daily life of every community,
it is only right that automobile drivers
and owners should be compelled to give
a square deal to the community; while
on the other hand it is only right that
citizens should give a square deal to
automobile owners and drivers

WANTS MOTHERS INSTEAD OF
SUFFRAGE TO PROTECT GIRLS

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 29.-[Editor
Herald: In today's Herald is an
article by "Observer" that l fully in
dorse for the reasons therein stated.
Hence, no use taking your time and
space in a reiterat ton OF them. Usually
your writer's seem never to know whey
they are through talking. If they would
merely say and not talk, their articles
would be more readable.
AS to Vera Fidelia, her statement of
the purifying influence of women in
politics" in Colorado, her statement
that since women got the ballot there
the age of consent in girls had been
raised to SIXTEEN that to give the
ballot to women is would be pro-
lection to girls, etc.
First-In Colorado politics is no
more pure after women voted than be-
fore, and no better decorum, except
right at the polls.
Second-Bless Vera's soul, don't she
read? Even in the state OF Missouri,
where they never expect woman suf-
frage, the coarse man legislature.
more than a dozen years ago, raised
the age of consent to TWENTY-ONE
Woman suffrage did not even contribute
to that. What did?
Third think the proper way to
protect the girls is for the mothers to
stay at home keep the girls there un-
less they are with them, educate them
at home right: but as long as mothers
pass their time at the club, play
bridge, whist, sevn-up, euchre and
even poker, and permit their girls to

STRENUOUS REVISION

MO doubt greatly to his surprise and
~ edification, the nightrider Of the
~ South has taken part in tariff re-
vision. He was not called officially in
to conference, he did not get a hearing.
he gave no advice on the subject Of
schedules, but says the Associated
Press report, Senator Bradley's
amendment permitting tobacco growers
to sell their products without payment
Of tax was adopted. II removes the
tax of six cents a pound on the tobacco
grower as a vender, and thus removes
what IS supposed to be the cause of
the nightrider attacks in Kentucky
and Tennessee"
Now, we cannot conscientiously COM
mend the method of the tariff-reform-
ing nightrider. He is too strenuous.
His methods are crude and boisterous.
and lack the scholarly refinement
which distinguishes those Of other tar
if experts. Yet the manner in which
he "got there" by his strenuousness
compels reluctant admiration. Far be
1t from US to suggest to any tariff
oppressed citizens to go and do like
wise. yet the strenuousness of the
nightrider's appeal to reason without
doubt had something to do with it's
eff1caciousness which has now been
triumphantIy demonstrated in the to-
bacco schedule.
