DE-SADDLES

40 PRESIDENT TAFT has signified
his disapproval of divided skirts,
~ and the side-saddle is coming in
vogue again! An observer in New York
who went to Central park to take pic
lures of society women on horseback
could find only one woman riding in
what has come to be known as man
fashion. We say, has come to be known
because originally woman did not use
a side-saddle. The unnatural sidewise
method of horseback riding for women
was not thought of until in the middle
ages, when a crippled princess who
could not ride in the natural and nor
NAL fashion made the side-saddle fash
ionable.
Society adopted and perpetuated as a
custom the fact of the lameness of a
medieval princess, even as in modern
times society adopted and perpetuated
as a custom the peculiar physical for
nation of another European princess,
whose peculiar style of beauty was re-
produced by her society slaves Eu-
ropean and American, in the hideous
"Grecian bend" We may add, Incl
dentally, that in his interference with
feminine fashions President Taft has
established a new presidential record;
Even the daring and strenuous IT. r. +"
dared not interfere with the dressnak-
ers.
No one need fear California girls viii
pay the slightest attention to the east
ern reactionaries. California has the
most beautiful women and finest horses
in the world.

MOTHERS DAY

"O NOR of motherhood is the true
III criterion of civilization. A ma
H ton which takes good care of its
mothers and it's childr- I is taking care
of itself. Maternity is the most impor-
tant part of national life, a fact recog-
nized and preached by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt while he was president of
the United States. The mother is the
heart of the social system. In honor
ing motherhood nation is honorlng
itself.
Mothers day should remind people of
the debt of womanhood to the Christian
religion. A correspondent has COM
planned that linen come first" in Chris

emphasized by the birth of Christ,
and ever since the first Christmas day
there has been tacit acknowledgement
among Christian nations that
THE hand that rocks the cradle is the
hand that rules the world"
Even before Christianity exalted
motherhood and recognized its SOW
ereign place with relation to society,
the Hebrew race held maternity in rev.
erence, and, unlike many other orient
ais, gave the woman equal rights with
the man in the household.

THE PHILIPPINES

IN RvING WINSLOW writing in the
H North American Review, says an
n era of race hatred has been be-
gun in the Philippine ISLANDS, tla'
auo,,rs ill for the continuance of tran
o,,i1 American rule Senior Osmena,
sneaker of the assembly, said in MS
fr.roa1 address which was Endorsed by
the great majority of the members OF
the chamber: 1.-The people desire lilue-
nandence. The nation believes ltseh
canable of an orderly national llte' eI-
ecien+ both in internal affairs and eX-
formally as a member of the group
IF civilized nations. If at this moment
the United States should grant the suit
of the Filipinos for liberty upon as
Stunning responsibility they could as
charge to the full their obligations
toward themselves and toward others
without detriment to liberty, to law
or to justice"
Mr. Winslow says the handwriting
on the wall as the anti-imperlallsts
read it ten years ago has been lui-
filed according to their Interpretation.
THE growth of foreign Imperialism mas
conceded with the militarism, centrah-
cation and arbitrary assumption OF eA-
ecutive power at home against winch
nrotest is at last arising all over the
land It is not too late to destroy the
evil at its roots, to do justice to long
suffering people and to vindicate the
authority of the principles Of the Dec
laration of independence and OF the
constitution of the United States.
Advocates of Filipino liberty admit
there is one condition which must be
attached to any measure OF lndepeh-
dence for the Filipinos.
The protectorate of the Unlted
States must be perpetual "lndepeh-
dence" of the Philippines is not deslr-
able if it is an independence that VIII
deliver Manila to Germany for its long
coveted naval base in the Pacific. 1t
is ali very we'll to be generous anu
ma enaninous with regard to dependent
or subject peoples, but, although 1t
cannot be denied the fact we are re-
straining the liberty of any people is
inconsistent with the profession OF the
Declaration of Independence, it would
be madness to surrender control OF the
Philippines to some strong foreign
mower. In the Philippines our govern
ment finds itself in much the same nix
which in numerous instances in the
British empire enslaves Britain to the
alleged enslaved country. Even II the
British people would fam let go many
Of the possessions beyond the sea, the
government cries, Hold fast or we are
undone." Imperialism under any sulse
has a curious habit of making the con-
oueror the bondslave of his annexed
emnire.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

TN MODERN times the history of Los
Angeles has been marked by con-
slant progress and prosperity. 1t
has not only been increased greatly in
size, but in resources. Its population
is efficient, capable and enterprising-
so enterprising indeed that the name
of Los Angeles has become famous all
over the civilized world. The Los An
geles way, whether in political or gov
ernmental matters, or in social affairs,
or in improvements, is to make sure it
is right and then to go ahead Although
inquiry is always careful and exact,
there is no time lost, and red tape
bureaucracy is almost unknown. When
the citizens wish to carry into effect
any project or plan the thought pro-
duces the word and the deed in rapid
succession.
While we know comparisons are obi
Gus. and every city has it's own peculiar
problems, so that it is not always fair
to compare methods of one city with
methods OF another, we cannot help
| calling attention to the remarkable con-
trast between the methods of Los An
geles and those of the greatest city in
the land. 1t took New York about
quarter of a century to appreciate, cope
with and solve its rapid transit prob
lem. One at least of its rapid transit
commissioners died of old age before
the final report was prepared and sub
mitted In the meantime, what hap
pened? Why, people suffered. They
suffered also at the entrance to the
Brooklyn bridge for years, until finally
it occurred to some wideawake citizen
that it might not be a bad idea to end
the bridge jam, not by making few
more maddening rules and regulations,
but by building a few more bridges.
How different is the Los Angeles way.
In this far western city the people have
learned that perpetual vigilance is the
price of progress. They must not only
keep up with the procession, but move
ahead of the procession.
Greater Los Angeles and San Pedro
harbor plans are in anticipation of the
necessity of being prepared for the de-
velopment of our western country, and
for a great increase of commercial and
shipping activity on the Pacific-an
increase that will be demanding harbor
room and facilities even before the
completion of the Panama canal. With
that great event the Importance of the
Pacific coast and Pacific interests will
be enhanced to an extent which can
not be calculated. Greater Los Angeles
must be prepared for the greater oppor-
tunities of the near future, and metro
politan consolidation is an urgent neces-
| cftxr

POLICE CONDUCT

II RUTAL treatment of prisoner by
II a patrolman in one of the busiest
- sections of Los Angeles was re-
scented by a crowd of indignant citizens
and only the timely arrival of dozen
officers saved the offender from being
punished by witnesses of his brutality
1t is alleged by some spectators the
policeman was under the influence of
LIQUOR and attacked his prisoner saw
agely. In behalf of the policeman,
however, the statement is made that
the prisoner resisted arrest and was
hurt by falling to the pavement. This
case certainly calls for close and rigid
investigation. Especially should the
charge made against the officer be in
quired into. If there is nothing in 1t
he should be exonerated.
However. if it should prove to be
true that a policeman while on duty in
a busy part of this city was under the
influence of liquor and maltreated a
citizen, he should be dismissed from
the force without delay. Clubbing or
any other form of police brutality will
not be tolerated by the citizens Of
Los Angeles. In spite of its large for
eign population Los Angeles is a well
behaved city. There is seldom any real
excuse for clubbing a prisoner or treat
ing him roughly
1t should be noted that while the po-
lice of Los Angeles carry night sticks
and WELD them when they think there
is occasion for violence, the members
of 1.-THE finest police force in the world
do not carry clubs.
New York policemen do not use night
sticks excepting when on night duty.
1t has been found by experience that
efficiency is promoted if the officer is
clubless. For the proper protection of
people at the crossings and for the reg
uIation of traffic he should have both
hands free Los Angeles is metropoli-
tan city, but the appearance of crossing
policemen armed with sticks is de-
cidedly provincial. The police of Los
Angeles should endeavor to live up to
the city's reputation. and, like Los An
geles itself, should be the best in the
west

NO HER, says the commandment,
that thy days may be long in the
land"
In the United States a happy mother
is a queen, and this is by far the best
feature of our national life. By far
the worst is this: that many mothers
are neglected, arc not properly cared
for when their boys and girls are in
fants: have not the means of educat-
ing them properly-in short, are not al
lowed to treat their children as they
fain would treat them; and then society
wonders why there is big percentage
of criminals in the population.
Fill the country with happy, pros
porous homes, ruled gently and loving
ly by happy, prosperous mothers, and
there will be few paupers and few
criminals.
Burns was right
ITO make a happy fireside chime
Wi weans and wife
Is the true pi.thl and sublime
O. human life.''
This was his poetic way of stating
81 ing which is as true today as it
was in his time-a happy home well
provided for, a home where there is
motherhood, is a microcosm of civil
lied society; is "all there's to It," from
alpha to omega.
The observance of Mothers day will
give everybody a chance to show ap-
probation of mother. An excellent sug-
gestion that has been made to us in
connection with Mothers day is this,
that in honor of the day, every boy who
is far away from the old home and the
mother-and there are many such boys
in Los Angeles-should write her let

HERITAGE OF HORROR

HERITAGE of horror is the eX
u pressive term used to- describe the
IA problem of congested population
with which New York is now strug-
Cling. The example of New York should
be of benefit to every other big or grow
ing city in the United States. Manhat-
tan did not pause to think of the flu
ture. The condition of the dense popu-
lation of some of the more crowded
quarters is indescribable. Human be-
ings exist in ragged, dirty, hungry,
emaciated swarms, and they do not
seem to much more than exist. Life
in many of the children is only feeble
flicker
What is to be done? Belated reform
ers are building model tenements,
which look like jails, and, with their
thousand and one rules and regulations,
are so regarded by most of the people
who have to live in them. But the con-
struction of a few model tenements
cannot be spoken of seriously as rem
edy when the gigantic nature of the
trouble is considered. When the vast,
seething, stewing population of the
lower part of Manhattan is remem-
bered and pictured, long laudatory
magazine articles about the triumphant
success of one model tenement are hui
morous rather than impressive. They
are like the babble of a seaside boy
who fills his bucket with salt water
and brags he has bailed out the ocean,
In Los Angeles, with plenty of fresh
air and sunshine and plenty of room,
there is absolutely no excuse for any
kind of repetition, even on minor and
restricted scale, of the heritage of hor-
ror which is causing stagnation and
inefficiency among a large and ever
increasing part of the population of
New York. Los Angeles has begun
we'll, and let it so continue, mindful
of the future. Nemesis waits for all
cities that build only for gain, that fill
up every available space with rent
producing structure, that forget small
parks and make every great increase
in population the excuse for more
rack-renting and sweating.

THE BLIND

Never the sight OF the setting sun,
Never the beauty of the trees,
Never the light of the day begun,
Never the duty drawn from these.
Never glance at a pretty howr,
Never a sight of the oceans grace,
Never a trance from Visions powr,
Never the light of a human face.
Always the gloom of the starless night,
Always the thought of unmeaning day,
Always the doom of imprisoned sight,
Always the naught of the unfelt ray.
Always the doubt of a cropping hand,
Always the city with sky unlined,
Always the cloud of a lightless land,
Always the pity-hampered mind
But who shall say that their loss and wo
Is measured not by a master-mind,
Nor balanced with joys that only grow
In the smiling gardens of the blind?

Eyes are twinkling. Hearts are warm.
Human nature is aglow with kindli-

"Grant unto the man in the liquor
business laws that are just, equitable
immutable." said Captain D. M. Smith
of Louisville, KY, general counsel for
the Model License league, in his ex-
cellent address to the City club yes
terday. Hedge the traffic about with
the strictest police regulations that
you desire, but enforce them alike year
in and year out, and let there be no
favorites played-no favors shown.
Let the closing hour be fixed by law,
not by the ipse dixit of a successful
politician. 1t is the certainty rather
than the severity of punishment that
deters from crime" This is the com
mon sense of the situation compressed
into a few wise and trenchant phrases.
