OUR GUESTS

TLKS hailing from every part of
II, Uncle Sans dominions are hur-
~ rying to Los Angeles. As the
man who has the longer distance to
travel frequently beats the man with
only a short distance to go, 1t is not to
be wondered at delegates from the
Philippine islands have been among
the first to arrive. Nearly every state
in the Union is already represented on
the registry lists, and yet the real rush
has not been begun. 1t is evident the
Los Angeles meeting and celebration
will be the most successful in the his
tory of the Elks. Los Angeles as a
convention city is without rival in the
United States. It can entertain and
amuse vast crowds far better than can
any other city in the Union. 1t has
all the facilities for the reception of
visitors, and owing to its central situ-
alton can provide a great variety of
excursions and occupations with which
to supplement the regular program.
The Herald congratulates the COM
mlttees on the efficiency they have dis
played. Their attention to detail has
been thorough. The ground they have
had to cover has been almost bewilder-
ing in Its scope and variety, but the
committeeman have systematized every
thing in a mastery way, and have left
nothing to chance or accident.
It is because of this attention to detail
the success of this great ELK feast"
can be predicted confidently. When
arrangements are made with such order
they can be carried out like clockwork,
the risk of interruption or interference
is minimized We believe our guests
will find not only that the official pro-
grams have been prepared with an eye
to the economy of time, and the use OF
every minute to the best possible ad-
vantage, but that what we may call
the incidental or supplemental pro-
grams are arranged with marvellous
care. Preparation for such a celebra-
ton as that Of next week is like the
construction of a huge example Of COM
plicated machinery, in which every
piece must be in its place and properly
adjusted, if the whole is to run
smoothly. We think the committeeman
are well entitled to the thanks of the
citizens of Los Angeles, as we'll as of
the EIks, because owing to their hard
work, and the great amount of brain
power" they have bestowed on the mat
! ter, the credit Of Los Angeles as a city
of magnificent enterprise, magnificent
attainment and magnificent entertain
ment is about to be enhanced.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-09
PERJURED PETITIONERS

TNORGERY is forgery, whether COM
mitted in connection with a bank
n check or with the signatures to
petition. The perjured petitioners
for liquor zone extension should be
brought to book. Obviously section
1854 of the city charter Of Los An
geles has been violated. In this sec
tion are the following provisions: ANY
proposed ordinance may be submitted
to the council by a petition signed by
registered electors of the city equal
in number to the percentages herein
after required. The signatures to the
petition need not all be appended to
one paper, but each signer shall add to
his signature his place of residence,
giving the street and number. One of
the slgners Of each such pa~ar shall
make oath before an officer competent
to administer oaths that the statements
therein made are true and that each
signature 10 the paper appended is the
genuine signature of the person whose
name purports to be thereunto sub
scrlbed."
The language is plain and unequivo-
cal. In the case of a petition of this
kind a false signature would be for
gerry, and a person who knowingly took
oath to a petition containing forged
names would be guilty of perjury.
