4 T THE meeting of representatives
" Of civic bodies whose combined
"A action brought about the appoint
ment of the good roads advisory com
mittee, public opinion was reflected IL
the view of the supervisorial crisis that
was adopted, which was that the
members of the advisory committee
should remain on guard, AND
HOULD INSIST VIGOROUSLY
THAT EVERY VITAL ACTION CON-
NECTED WITH THE EXPENDI-

TO THE COMMITTEE FOR ITS AP-

The request that is being made is
entirely reasonable. The supervisors
are only being asked to keep their
word, to keep faith with the public. It
should not be a difficult matter for
honest men to live up to the terms
of an agreement entered into by thems,
Nay, from the most sordid point of
view it would seem to be more polite
on the part of the supervisors to agree
to work with the advisory committee
than to refuse to cooperate with the
special representatives, of the people.
When the public voted the good
roads bonds it was with the distinct
and oft-stated understanding an ad-
visory committee should act with or
assist the supervisors in the expendi-
ture of the $S,5OO,OOO voted by the peo-
pie of Los Angeles. The bonds were
voted because the voters were assured |

THIRD DEGREE CONDEMNED AS
MENACE TO HUMAN LIBERTY

LOS ANGELES, July 22-[Editor
Herald: After reading an account OF

to force Chong Ching, an alleged ac-
cessory In the murder OF Elsie Slgel,
to confess that he was the slayer OF

CLEAN ELECTIONS

LII citizens interested in the sue
~ cess of consolidation sympathize
with the movement to keen the
Greater Los Angeles elections free from
all corrupting influences, free from cor
porationism, free from alcoholism.
Vigilance must be exercised If the sue
cess of the Greater Los Angeles move
ment is to be kept safe and secure
from the combined influences which
menace 1t. 1t is the duty of citizens
to work for clean election, one in
which the interests of all the taxpayers
will be safeguarded. Greater Los An
geles will be begun as it will be con-
ducted-'on the square" The square
deal city VIII have a square deal from
the first.
For while the enemies of consolida-
tion acted as If paralyzed by the sue
cess of the movement. The opposition
has been ridiculously inefficient. But
there are signs a deliberate attempt
will be made to thug" the Greater
Los Angeles movement at the polls.
There corporationism will make It's
last stand against progress, and the
friends and representatives of progress
must be wide awake, well posted, ready
for emergencies. They must be pre-
pared to guard Greater Los Angeles
from the last rally of the disappointed
and angry plunder seekers.
The carefully laid plans and schemes
Of many crafty years are about to be
brought to naught by the vote of the
people. Is it to be imagined the plot
ters and schemers will submit quietly
to the wreck Of their long g-cherished
hopes? All who are interested In the
success of consolidation should bear
this in mind. and from now until cleo
tion day should be more vigilant than
ever, more careful than ever, more
active than ever. A clean, decisive
victory for consolidation will reward
perseverance and patriotism. Be wary. |
Be watchful. Be WISE

HOTELS

A MOTHER fine hotel is to be added
~ to the hotels Of Los Angeles, and
An all concerned say there is plenty
of room for it, and its accommodations
will be in demand as soon as it is fin
ished. There are more fine hotels and
first-rate rooming and boarding houses
in Los Angeles than in any other city
of its size in the world, and that is one
reason why the estimates of popula-
tion are always apt to be understate-
ments. When figures as to population
are given they leave out of account a
large addition that might be made to
the householding population. In addi-
tion to our permanent citizenship, the
total number of people in Los Angeles
all the year round Is always far greater
than indicated by the census figures or
the directory figures, because in addi-
ton to the army of tourists and sum-
mer and winter visitors who reside
here for months at time, there are
thousands of hotel visitors who re-
main here for only a few days at al
time. They keep coming and going, but
the fact that they form an Important
factor in the population and life of the
city is attested sufficiently by the con-
slant demand for more big hotels And
the hotel business in Los Angeles is |
more prosperous than in any other city. !
The hotels of Los Angeles ALWAYS

will tend to undermine the social fab
ric of the nation.
It is impossible to meet the ends of
justice by adhering to such sordid
practices. Having been in vogue
from time out of memory, is 1t not nat
ural to presume that many who were
innocent had suffered keenly? But
that is of no concern to the public
prosecutor, whose object is to bring
about as many convictions as possible
irrespective of the resultant effects on
the community in which he resides.
Run them all in, and the more you
catch the more praiseworthy the
showing" is the attitude assumed by
the district attorney. and such en-
bodies the sentiment CT many officers
in like employment. Instead of abid-
ing by the ethics of his employment,
in that he should see the rights of
every defendant at bar protected, as
well as prosecuted, the prosecutor him
self, by his unprofessional methods,
but elicits the emnity of his constitu-
ents.
Every member of society should re-
spect and have faith. in them all, as
ordained and established by the chosen
representatives, but such cannot be
when those who as its administrators
fagrantly violate the rules of equity
and prove false to that trust reposed
in them by take-it-for-gran
public.
LET reverence for the law be
taught in schools, in seminaries and in
colleges; let 1t be written in primers,
spelling books and almanacs; let it be
preached from the pulpit; proclaimed
in legislative halls and enforced in
courts of justice. And, in short, let it
become the political religion of the ma
tion; and let the old and the young,
the rich and the poor, the grave and
the gay of all sexes and tongues and
colors and conditions sacrifice inces-
sanity upon it's affairs"

WOULD NOT DRAG WOMEN
DOWN TO LEVEL OF MEN

LOS ANGELES, July 21.-[Editor
Herald: While not interested in
Helen Standish's protests about boys

Sunday I protest against her urging
the fallacy of equal rights" to
the sexes along the lines of morality.

ages and you cannot change his ma
ture. To give women equal rights" (O

THE ARYANS


MAN And there were the mountains high
NsS4 Somewhere in ancient Asia
NAsNM In ages long gone by;
Ages that sleep and moulder,
Buried meath dust and sand;
Ages that saw the growing
Of the first small Aryan band.
And from the narrow valley,
Too crowded by man and beast,
Went the pioneers of the race march
And their backs turned to the East.
Ever on to the Westward,
With the setting sun their guide,
A daring few ganst the unknown
To the West of their birth they died
The tribes that dwelt before them
Passed into the endless night,
Whatever they had worth saving
The Aryan claimed as his right
Forgotten of fond tradition,
Unsung in the lore of man.
Are the rude, heroic chieftains
Who led the Aryan clan.
But Greek and Frank and Latin,
Heirs to their blood are they,
And through Saxon, and Celt, and Teuton,
1t courses pure today
A stream with courage pregnant
Feeding a quenchess fire,
Support of the onward marching
OF hearts that never tire.
Crowded. the lands of Europe,
With the Aryans children fair
There was need of a new advancement,
But the oceans waves were there.
They gazed on the broEd Atlantic
This race that moves to the West
And Columbus the navigator,
Led on their vast unrest.
Led on the way to the threshold
Of nations then yet to be,
Followed. the later captains
And their across the sea;
De Soto, and Penn, and Raleigh,
Miles Standish and Cartier brave,
Casting their lots gainst the unknown
By Atlantics Western wave
Fruit of their thought and striving
Cities and towns there grew,
And again from the crowding Aryans
Went forth dauntless few
Boone and Clarke, and Lewis,
Bridger and Carson's men,
And the sweeping race-tide followed
The sun to the West again.
Again they face an ocean

Close to the shoes of Asia,
