THE MAYORALTY

~ UCCESS of consolidation at Sacra-
mento should inspire with new yea
~ the supporters of George Alexander
in the fight for a clean mayoralty. The
victory of Mr.. Alexander will mean the
success of the same good civic influ'
ences and civic interests which fought
for consolidation. The reelection OF
recalled Mayor Harper would be ar
interruption to the glorious and patri-
otto progress of this city. The logic
of events demands the election of Mr.
Alexander. To give Mayor Harper the
Endorsement of the voters at this criti-
cal stage of the history of Los An
geles would be to subject the city to
criticism all over the United States
nay, It would be ridiculous. Business
conditions closely connected with the
growth and improvement of Greater
Los Angeles positively demand the cleo
ton of Mr.. Alexander. In the recall cleo
ton Los Angeles has at stake the invest
ment here of millions of dollars in the
near future. The credit of the city de-
mands Mr.. Alexander's success.
what of Los Angeles?" is the ques-
ton now being asked in great financial
centers. 'Tt is carrying out its con-
solidation program, marked by spirit
of good citizenship and laudable am
bition. Now will 1t carry out its
mayoralty program, send into perma-
nent retirement an executive whose
name provokes doubt, and replace him
by solid, staunch and true citizen,
whose name inspires confidence?"
In order that the aqueduct and other
costly features of the development of
Greater Los Angeles may be carried
on successfully, uninterruptedly and
honestly, it is necessary for the voters
to do all in their power to select as
mayor the staunch, good, true citizen,
the grand old veteran, still in the prime
of his life, enthusiastic, energetic,
Honest George Alexander. When the
news that Honest George Alexander
has been sent to City Hall to guard
the peoples interest is sent abroad over
the land, it will increase the prestige
of Los Angeles, strengthen the credit
of Los Angeles, and help Los Angeles
to advance to the next stage of great
career, and to become Greater Los An
geles.

PLAYS, LIKE BOOKS, NOT TO
BE CONDEMNED WHOLESALE

LOS ANGELES, March 3.-IEditor
Herald: AS regards the stage and
the pulpit, is it not high time for the
former to be protected from the on
slaughts of ignorant ministers? They
create an unnecessary gulf between the
stage, the people of the stage and the
church. The church should help them,
not hurt and neglect.
A recent sermon or declaration made
by a certain minister here was simply
deplorable because, strictly speaking, II
was not the truth. There is not much
excuse for ignorance in college-bred peo-
pie, yet ignorance is the only excuse we
can make for Mr.. Locke. For his cali
ing is sacred and his intentions are
good.
Plays there are like people, and some,
for the good of the public, should be
condemned and known.
But how many fine, beautiful plays
there are! What lessons they teach OF
honor, usefulness, goodness, charity
and love. Even in the clap-trap, sem
sational dramas of the second and third
class theater they draw strong lines be-
tween good and evil.
Who has not been surprised at the
cheers of enthusiasm that came from
the gallery over some noble act of self
sacrific, or at the derision OF some
low act?
Religion is not often ridiculed from
the stage, II ever. 1t is resented strong
ly. They dare not do it. The parson
has been ridiculed. Not from his call
ing, but from some lack of character,
narrowness or hypocrisy. 1t is bad
taste, since it casts a reflection on a
sacred calling"
AS last word: The religious world Is
too far away from the stage. Knock
out the Sunday business If you will and
the bad plays. but do not neglect the
people that take part-the actor, the
actress, the chorus girl. Can you ever
help people by slurring them? These
people are generally bright. They are
peculiarly sensitive to hypocrisy, yet
they worship a strong beautiful char
acter. moral tone or moral person
will affect whole company. They
work and should be treated with re-
spect.
Bad books should not be read or bad
plays heard. You might just as well
condemn books as whole as plays.

PRESIDENT TAFT

TT HEODoRE ROOSEVELT retires
from his great post with honor
IL and glory, because he has been
the PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE
OF THE UNITED STATES and not a
politician in office; because he has been
statesman and not merely a Repub-
lican; because he has believed in and
illustrated government of the people,
by the people and for the people, and
not government by party, of
party and for a party, and, when the
peoples will has conflicted with the
wishes of a political party, has exc
cuted the peoples will For this rea-
son the retiring president has been
called radical" Out of this radicalism
has come a notable national program.
some of the features of which are the
construction of the Panama canal, the
conservation of natural resources, the
Improvement of waterways, railroad
regulation, the enforcement of law i'm
partially without fear or favor, and a
grand new navy which is making the
sea power of the United States second
to that of no other nation in the world.
President Taft brings to a task far
far more difficult than Mr.. Rooseyelt's
the equipment of mentality, strength
Of character, and the desire ito do the
right thing" or as Mr.. Roosevelt would
put it, ITO give everybody square
deal' We repeat, his task is far, far
more difficult than was Mr.. Roosevelt's.
because he must keep up the Roosevelt
pace and equal the Roosevelt record if
he would escape criticism.
But President Taft possesses what an
admiring Republican contemporary
newspaper calls sublime self-conf-
dence.' He would need to possess Sub
lime self confidence" In addition, he
possesses what few of his predecessors
have been able to boast ola long, pre-
else and intimate acquaintance with
government both in theory and in prac-
tice; with the science, art and philoso
ply of administering public affairs.
Conscious that President Taft has not
only the judicial temperament but vast
and useful experience, the confidence of
citizens in him will be as Sublime" as
our Republican friend says President
Taft's confidence in himself is. Self
confident, possessing the confidence of
the people, President Taft ought to
make good" and we have no doubt
he will. We believe every citizen Of
the United States thinks we have an
other president of whom the country
may we'll be proud, another great and
typical American; and the American
nation this day, along with it's warm
welcome. presents to him its esteem, its
affection, it's admiration, and its fer
vent wishes for his SUCCESS.

cooked. or served in any Of dozen
ways.
The people ought to eat more raisins,
ANYWAY and IL given the chance they
would do so. The thing to do Is to fur
nish the opportunity and the raisins,
and the people will do the rest.
What's the matter with the big stores
all over this part of the state making
special line Of Fresno raisins for a
while?
1t would help Fresno and It would
help all the rest of the state In assist
ing one of it's most enterprising and
energetic sections, says the Fresno
Herald.
If Fresno gets the money for It's
raisins, all the remainder of the state
will get some of 1t, too, for Fresno is
not niggardly, and It spends its money
literally. Buy raisins in Fresno, then,
and put the money In circulation.
And don't forget that something has
got to be done to help the raisin grow
ers in any event. That biz crop unsold
means that a buyer must be found.

ALL SABBATH LEGISLATION
RIDICULOUS AND CALLING

SAWTELLE, March 3.-[Editor Her
add: 1 always look into your Letter
Box and like that feature in your
paper. 1 am interested and instructed
by some OF the letters. and the rotten
ones make me laugh. So thank every
correspondent, knowing that most peo-
pie are too lazy to give US truth they
may possess.
The Sunday question has been a knife
in the ribs of society for many genera
tons. Some want everything stopped
on Sunday but church. Some want
the same for Saturday. Some say let
all be open on Sunday, for that Is the
workmans only day.
/ am with these people. I say down
with all Sabbath legislation. whatever
person may rightly do on week day
he should be allowed to do on Saturday
or Sunday, or on any other day which
religious sect calls Sabbath.
1t seems to me childish, ridiculous
and calling that I cannot get glass of
beer today but may buy twenty to-
morrow
1t is beastly piece OF tyranny that
makes a Jew close his store on Sum
day. How would we like the Jew to
close all our stores and shops on Satur-
day? do not to another what you
would not he should do to you"
Before printing was invented, and
WneH transportation was limited, re-

still more profit, and so on and on, until

CANNOT CONSIDER SUCH MEN
TRUE PROTECTORS OF HOME

LOS ANGELES, March s.-[Editor
Herald: l would say to c. F. that we
would be very glad to look up to men
and regard them as protectors of the
home, If we could; but when they tell
us that a certain proportion of the
women of the country must be prosti-
tutes for the accommodation Of the sim
gle men, we cannot believe that they
have either a reverence for women or
the home.
They tell you prostitution is necessa-

OVERSPEEDING

Il EFT us hope it will not be necessary
for the city council to adopt
"A measures which will practically
make hoboes, tramps or criminals OF
automobilists convicted of overspeed-
ing. We appeal to owners and chauf-
feurs to inspire the public with conf
dence in automobiles on the public
streets instead of with dread of them.
There is no need for driving furiously
in the streets of Los Angeles. Streets
are for traffic. not for speeding ex-
hibitions. One vehicle has as good a
right as another to the use of the
streets, even as one individual has as
good a right as another. If a big,
strong man insisted on sprinting along
the sidewalks at full tilt, knocking
down and trampling over smaller men
and over women and children if they
did not get out of his way, he would
soon find himself deprived of the lib
erty he had abused. Now, if this man,
disguised in goggles, sits at the steer
ing wheel Of huge automobile, has he
acquired rights over the lives and
safety of his fellow citizens which
would entitle him to commit without
rebuke actions for which he would De
punished if he were on his own two
legs and the sidewalk? Common sense
would put an end to all selfish or
maniacal speeding on the public streets
by automobiles. But if some chauffeurs
will not use common sense, then OF
course the authorities must intervene.
and, for the protection of the public,
establish notifying and degrading
punishments which may have the eff
feet on the conscience of a speed
maniac which apparently a reprimand
or a fine has not.
