A LII kinds of occult practices should
n be strictly forbidden in every
"A community. There is not any
phase of occultism that is not fraught
with danger to those who adventure 1t
(and this, we take it, is the founda-
tion for the old superstition that at the
end of their career of mischief making
the devil always came and carried
off the witches).
Sooner or later "the devil' is at the
elbow of dabblers in the occult and
within the meaning of the word occult
we include animal magnetism and all
kinds of mesmerism and hypnotism or
suggestion. This is illustrated by the
case of the New Jersey hypnotist
whose assistant died while under hyp-
motto influence (or in plain language,
in catalepsy produced by the hypnot-
lists mischievous interference with
nerve functioning).
1t cannot be denied one human be-
ing may produce conditions on another

ORDERLY CITY

a RDERLINESS characterizes Los
Angeles elections. The people of
" this city are typical Americans,
in that they can govern themselves
without the aid of the police or the
military. The average intelligence of
Los Angeles is high. The average cit
izen of Los Angeles represents an ed
ucated type. There is less ignorance
in Los Angeles than in any other city
of it's size in the United States. There
is less crime in Los Angeles than in
any other city of its size in the United
States, a fact that is too often over
looked.
This is a city of good order and
good government. 1t is a city TO
which its citizens are proud to be-
long. The future of Los Angeles is
one of great promise. When a city
is constantly making progress it is con-
stantly inviting and creating prosper
ity.
1t is standing still that stagnates a
city and causes financial and business
depression. The initiative, the energy.
the pluck, the perseverance of Los An
geles have much to do with the con-
dition of ever increasing prosperity
which is gratifying to its citizens.

EXPERT EDUCATORS

TROM Boston comes news of a
n movement which, we predict,
a will become general all over the
United States. 1t relates to the par
ticipation of teachers in the educa-
tional policies of a city. Can anyone
successfully deny the proposition that
in addition to the board of education
elected by the people, representative
teachers should be ex officio board
a rule have consulting engineers and
other experts. Why should not a
board of education have consulting
experts" to assist it in the determine
ton of pedagogic matters which,
while not beyond the ken, are GER
tainly beyond the actual experience of
the average man? Education is not
merely a learned profession, but a
practical profession. This fact is
studiously overlooked in most of the
cities of the United States; although
we believe in Chicago a real woman
educator was elected to a board of
education with most beneficial results.
But it is not necessary to make our
professional educators actual mem
bets the board of education. Com
mon sense would suggest that they
be invited to participate ''in council'
with regard to matters Of vital mo-
ment to the actual practice and dem
onstration of the science of education.
It is too much to expect invariable
scientific pedagogic accuracy from the
business men to whom the financial
conduct and general management of
the educational affairs of a city are
entrusted. But there are men on the
pay rolls of the city who are expert
educators, and, we believe, would
gladly serve as a staff of experts or
an advisory committee for the board
of education, and the establishment
of such a staff or such a committee
would not in any way reflect in the
slightest degree on the general and
business ability of the excellent mem
hers of the board Of education, but
would keep in evidence, during all
the deliberations of the board, the
teachers point of view. To this dem
ocratization of the interests of the
school board we cannot believe any
members of the board would under
anv circumstances offer an autocratic
objection.

URGES MERCHANT MARINE
BUILT ON CIVIL SERVICE

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 9-[Editor
Heraldl The numerous newspaper
editorials and magazine articles which
have appeared in the past two years
relative to reconstruction of our mer-
chant marine have pointed that out
as one of the most vital questions of
the period. That many of the writers
were biased, and others ill-informed.
is too evident to deserve comment, but
my object is not so much to take for
NAL exception to the theories advanced
or measures proposed-as to compare
suggestions, since the discussion would
be incomplete without the views of one
at least who has served the republic.
both in the navi.l and the civil service.
Out of all the perpleXing phenomena
which afford material alike for big and
small talk, two salient conditions
command the attention; the congestion
of commerce and the slow but healthy
growth of the civil service. That Il
more rapid development of the latter
would relieve the innumerable, aye,
and unmentionable results of the other
is obvious, and how is this to be accom-
plished? A line of swift steamers built
and manned by enlisted men under the
direction and inspection of a marine
civil service commission, carrying pas
sengers and merchandise at cost, woul1
afford ample remuneration to the ma
TONS defenders; bringing the flower of
the American youth into public service,
thereby inspiring the respect of all ma
tions including our own; insure our
permanent control of the Panama canal
and all trade north of it: induce the
reduction of rates on all transconti-
mental lines and the ultimate purchase
by the government of all railways,
canal and iron mines; substitute re-
ciprocal service and practical brother
hood for a demoralizing struggle for
existence, hasten the realization of
that cooperative commonwealth
which is understood in part by GER
tain partitive organizations, but which,
to judge by the undercurrent
of the national pulse, is destined to
find substantial expression in the ex-
tension and perfection of the civil SER
vice.
This, of course, will lie pronounced
impossible by many, and so 1t is; but
as impossible is a relative term, and
since the impossible of today may be
tomorrow not only feasible but ex-
pedient, we may hope to hear less and
less of this awful word which may per-
tinently be called the ultimatum of the
fool.
On the other hand, what worthier OBJ
ject of systematic agitation for the
press of Los Angeles, and of all sea-
ports? F. NJ.

PRUDENCE

TRoM time to time cases come with
i'm scope of the criminal authoTi-
n ties which are of such a nature
as to make the publication of the facts
detrimental to the reputation of Los
Angeles. When reputable papers pub
lish accounts of such cases without
comment or explanation, the public is
apt to draw wrong deductions, and
newspapers published in other parts
of the United States are certain to
use the instances obligingly furn-
ished by Los Angeles papers in order
to create a public opinion adverse to
this city
There are sharpers in every commun-
ity and some of their tricks and de
vices are as old as the hills. Some news
papers have made a good deal of news
capital out of the fact a sharper sold
a tenderfoot a tea and coffee route
which did not produce the profits. But
why should any human being in Los
Angeles buy a pig in a poke? 1t
would have been as easy to find out
before the completion of the tea and
coffee transaction as after the fact that
the route was a small yielder, and that
the income derived from it existed
mostly in the mind of the keen-witted
"artist" who, effected a sale. Morally
there is not the slightest difference be-
tween selling tea and coffee routes that
don't pan out and selling any kind of
business or real estate which is not
worth as much as the seller or sails.
man says it is worth.
Morally, there is not any difference
between one kind of over-reaching and
another. 1t is the duty Of purchasers
of any kind of goods in any city to
examine carefully what they are pur-
chasing before they complete the trans
action. Citizens who come to Los An
geles eager for bargains and grab at
what seems to be something for moth
ing occasionally find themselves easy
marks" instead of smart business men.

HOPES THERE ARE SOME
SENSIBLE WOMEN LEFT

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 4.-[Editor
Herald; When / read the accounts of
the unwomanly conduct of the Suffra-
gettes in England l feel that if woman
must lose her womanliness in enter
ing politics, she had better stay out.
When I see the streets of our cities
filled with walking monstrosities, in
the shape of fashionable women, who
wear rats 1--WE thought the dear
creatures were afraid of rats) and
other Instruments of torture in the
name of fashion, / wonder If the
sensible women are all dead. In spite
of all that these two classes of
women are doing to improve their own
sex, there are women left who would
do the best they could to safeguard
the interests of the home, without
destroying the peace and comfort OF
their own home by being a ranting
suffragette.
We believe there are women who
can dress sensibly and comfortably,
and yet not appear altogether anti
quated or unattractive. We are even
so rash as to believe they can do with
out rats and other objectionable ami
mails in their hair and still be womanly
and charming. OBSERVABLE

DECLARES HE DOES NOT
DEcRY USEFUL INVENTIONS

POMONA, Nov. 3.-[Editor Herald:
Capital is the product of labor. The
owners of the mills, factories. mines,
etc, own the product and sell it at
a profit. Capitalism is the use of
capital to exploit with, no matter
whether the exploiter owns an inch of
land or not. BY exploit 1 mean to
gain at someone's expense. I shall
quote, as an example, from w. f. Ries'
"Men and Mules:" "At the st. Louis
fair I saw one hundred people make
twelve hundred pairs of $3.50 shoes
every eight hours. The superintendent
told me that three pairs of each twelve
would more than pay for the raw ma
terial interest on money, wear of ma
chinery, boxing and draying, the fore
mans wages and all other expenses"
That is, twelve pair of shoes cost $1,000,
and capitalism sells them for $42. The
workers received from rs cents to 1925
for each eight-hour day, or less than
one pair for making twelve. And Mr.
John J. Jewett writes to belittle me
because / am against such an outrage
against humanity. And why does he
saw that 1 decry useful inventions? Mr..
Jewett should try to be fair even in
an argument Machines were not made
solely to rob the worker of his toll.
The machine has not lightened the
workers toll, as the easy places are
given to babies and women, who should
rot be workers at the machines, but
at something more suitable. Jewett's
question, "How can one lose something
which is not yours?" equals the silly
question asked the man who says he
has lost his breakfast, How can you
lose that which you did not get?'' 1t
is only a smart say.
Capitalism, as we know it today, be-
gan with the modern labor-saving ma

PROSPERITY

TN A MONTH the percentage of bank
gains reported for Los Angeles was
Il 26. The prosperous condition of
the city when compared with other
great centers of population may be
comprehended when we state the gain
reported for san Francisco in a period
of time exactly corresponding with that
upon which the Los Angeles report is
made was only .O5 per cent.
Healthy financial activity exists in
Los Angeles. Every market is brisk
and every undertaking rewards those
who engage in it when it is an honor
able and worthy undertaking. This is
a city in which success may be wooed
by any man with pluck, brains and en-
ergy. Success is more easily attained
10 in this city than in many others,
because the general average Of intelli-
gence is higher than in many others.
The wheels of business are not clogged.
They run smoothly and swiftly.
And the outlook inspires confidence.
Los Angeles is a WINNER.

BELIEVES MANS WILL
CAN ACCOMPLISH MUCH

LOS ANGELES. Nov. S.-[Editor
Herald: F. F. f. thinks that man
has no free will, but is bound to the
incorrigible wheels of heredity and en-
vironment. And like the puppets in a
Punch and Judy show, moves only
when pulled by a string. Man Is the
sum total product Of all the forces and
powers that brought him into being,
and the measure of his capacity to act
is determined by his strength of body
and mind. One individual may be only
able to lift one hundred pounds, while
another with a better physical organ
ization easily lifts two hundred pounds.
Even SO in the sphere of mind, one In
dividuaI can weigh only one ounce of
evidence while another can weigh
pounds of evidence.
Now, as I comprehend the subject,
mans will to do is limited only by the
things he cannot do. And to the degree
he physically, mentally and morally
fails to live up to the full capacity
of his powers, to that degree is he a
failure and lacking in will. 1t is true
that the majority of mankind fail to
live I'D to the full capacity of their
powers. This is because they do not
exercise their WILL but passivley drift
with the current. The indolent, the sot
or the prohigate need not. however,
continue a slave to his inferior appe-
tites and desires. He can, like many
others have done before him, will to
overcome them.
All our notions of reform and educa-
tion are based upon the partial freedom
Of the human will. A mother, know
ing the hereditary tendencies of her
child and the temptations of the world
to which it is liable, intuitively appeals
to it's will to overcome them. Every
educational and reform movement Is
practically an appeal to the will or
somebody. No one can easily miscon-
strue the nature of the human Will;
1t is the lever beyond all progress and
