REGISTRATION

OS ANGELES with a registration
of $4,000 for the primaries, should
- roll up registration Of $4,000 for
the general election. This is wonder
city. In the course OF a very few
years, with harbor development and
the completion of the Panama canal,
the registration easily will pass the
100000 mark.
There are boys and girls now in Los
Angeles who will live to see it a city
of a million inhabitants, the principal
commercial and maritime metropolis of
the western states. And they won't
have to wait until they are "aged," at
that. The harbor and the canal will
give Los Angeles the greatest boom it
has ever had, and the growth Of the
conviction this gigantic boom is sure
ing effect on the progress and pros
perity of the city even before the es-
tablishment of the conditions indicated
and confidently expected. -
Now, what will Los Angeles do with
the tremendous POWER represented
NY It's UlS Ie6lSLIdllOIls l5 THIS ~ w =

cannot be exercised for both. Either
this POWER will be applied to the
promotion of the best interests Of the
city, or it must serve the worst inter-
ests of the city, and help corpora
tionism, which is synonymous with po-
litical corruption, irresponsible flnan-
ciering, usurpation Of privileges, en-
bezzlement of franchises, and con-
stant opposition to the liberty of the
people.
The lines of battle are being drawn
with vivid, almost spectacular clear
ness and defniteness. With the issues
plainly visible, and the champions"
and their antecedents, records and af-
filiations well known, the duty Of the
citizen is plainly defined, and be has
not the slightest excuse for halting
between two opinions or wavering be-
tween two candidates. The big regis
tration should and we believe does in
dicate the citizens of Los Angeles are
determined to assert their approval of
good government and progressive pol
icies by renominating and re-electing
Mayor George Alexander.

CONCERT MANNERS

q ONE Of the people who have been
attending the Sousa concerts have
~ mistaken a musical entertainment
for a Conversations. 1t is a common
error and deplorable one.
A musical program is a bill of fare.
Some of the pieces may appeal to one
class of listeners, some to another Yet
Everybody to his taste" and the man
who likes rollicking tunes should re-
frain from expressing, concurrently
with the efforts of the band, his opin-
ion of symphonic or Wagnerian music.
But what shall be said of the peo-
pie who talk through any kind of mu-
sic, pitching their conversation in a
species of discordant harmony with the
orchestration, whispering shrilly with
the flute and roaring raucously above
the boom of the big bass drum?
The patron of a restaurant would be
surprised. and indignant If his neigh
Dor across the table helped himself to
a dish the patron had ordered and paid
for. Yet some people who attend con-
certs help themselves to their neigh
bors share of the music; filch it sans
ceremonie-and would be most highly
indignant If they were told they were
thieves.
