CROWDED STREETS

0NE of the most important mat
ters before the city council is that
" of regulating city traffic in such
way as to do away with congestion
and make the streets safe. One of
the most remarkable facts that i'm
press strangers in Los Angeles is
the bulk Of the traffic is confined to a
comparatively small area of our great
city. In this area, the streets of
Los Angeles are buster and more
crowded than those of any other big
city in the United States
AT some of the crossings during the
rush hour there is danger the public
is endangered by the speed at which
vehicles travel. Human beings walk
ing on their own legs must cross the
street somewhere, and drivers of We
hicles should realize the fact that
where there are not crossing policemen,
they are expected to act exactly as if
there were crossing policemen.
In other words, we have at the cross
ings test of the oft stated assertion,
society is able to regulate itself, with
out police aid or interference. This
may be a fact, but it would not be
easy to demonstrate by the example of
the Los Angeles crossings. The police
traffic board and the council legisla-
tion committee will have difficult
task in the solution of the traffic prob
lem; but should it be satisfactorily
solved by the united wisdom and ex-
perience of councilmen and policemen
1t would be of great advantage to
Greater Los Angeles.

COST OF EMPIRE

II NOTIFICATIONS for the United
states and insular possessions
for 1911 will cost $4,659 300. OF
this sum $1,97O,OOO will be devoted to
the United States and $2,6S9. 900 to
lnsuIar possessions. A comparison of
the size and importance of the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands with the
size and Importance of the United
States will supply forceful lesson in
the cost Of empire. The excuse for
the fact more money is being spent
on the fertilization Of insular possess
sions than on fortihcations of our
mainland is that any possible foe who
might wish to insult the United States
would try to seize the Philippines and
Hawaii and defy Uncle Sam to dis
lodge him.
An element in the safety Of the ISL
ands of Britain and Ireland has been
their possession of numerous outlying
properties" which have invited at
tack by sanguine foes. To keep a
faraway trap baited for possible pred
atory providers is Of course good world
policy. At the same time the price
paid by Uncle Sam for the domination
of the Pacific is staggering, especially
when we take into consideration the
fact that sum of money as big as
that devoted to the Philippines would
go far toward cleaning up the slums
in our big cities, providing employ
ment for the unemployed and making
the United States a better country for
its citizens.

AVIATION SUCCESS

A Walton WEEK has brought to
u Los Angeles the pick of the stars
"A OF the aviation world and has as
sembled here a great multitude of
people from every part of the United
States and of the globe. The conquest
of the air is the subject of predominant
ing interest and of paramount impor-
tance in the world today. Any commu-
nifty that can make arrangements for
and can conduct successfully a series
of trials that will be in the nature Of
severe tests is making all civilization
its debtor. and we believe the enter
prise of Los Angeles which has made
possible Aviation week is recognized
gratefully by every government and
by every civilization under the sun.
The meeting at Los Angeles is i'm
portant in the history of mankind
without regard to nationality or boun-
Diary lines. 1t represents the supreme
triumph of civilization-that which has
been foretold by prophets in all gen.
erations, but foretold in such hesitat-
ing way as to show the prophets were
inclined to doubt their own predictions.
The first "man-bird" of whom there
is any record was an italian abbot
who resided in the city of Edinburgh,
Scotland, in the sixteenth century.
This pioneer aviator demonstrated
flight under conditions which brought
him partial success. He took a start
from the precipitous height of the cas-
tie hill, and history records he flew for
several hundred feet, when there was
an accident to the machinery of the
wing planes he was using and he came
loch, from which he was rescued drip
ping and discredited.
Between the artificial wings used by
the first man-bird and the modern
aeroplane there is all the difference
that exists between unscientifc, i'm
a:7inative fancifulness and scientific
fact.
Human beings for hundreds Of years
have entertained the idea of the sue
cess of flight, and some of them have
been bold enough to talk of the con-
quest of the air, but it is only under
modern conditions, when scientific dis
covery and invention have come to the
aid of Imagination, that air flight has
emerged out of dreamland into ac-
tuality.
Aviation week is making records for
the world, and far and wide the
achievements of the "men of the air.
are being read of with keenest inter-
est. This community is adding an
other brilliant chapter to its wonderful
history, and is a pioneer in the epoch
Of air navigation. And to be the most
successful of the pioneers. to present
to the world the best records ever ac-
complished, to be FIRST, is the Los
Angeles way

THEIR PLATFORM
WAS A Shrek
lambasted Campbell and
Frear and Is a
Freak.

Especial Hullottn C,rrcspondoncc)
lllI.O. Sept 22. The Democrats
o. Hawaii set forth to build up a
platform viii h would be u shrlek.
They did.
The platform which was adopted
by the Democratic county conven-
tion last Wednesday was designed to
make the powers that be sit up and
take notice The administration of
the land laws was roasted to q crisp.
It being well-known fact that
without such plank Democratic
platform would be deemed sorely in
complete By the unterriiled ones. The
corporation income tax chestnut was
taken out and polished with fresh
luster; Henry IIapai got slap for
not building his famous sidewalk
which Is not, and, incidentally. the
Governor and Marston Campbell got
another whack in this connection by
way of good measure. Then Link
was given a pat on the back. which
was worth at least a part OF his ten
thousand-dollar contribution to the
campaign fund, and the precious
document wound up gloriously with
a commentator of the work done by
the Democrat, members of the coun-
ty administration.
Whether this meant Shlpman, who
has been an apostle of economy, or
Kalaiwaa, who has been the oppo-
site. was left on open question. Any
how, the platform pledged the can
didates to continue in their foot
steps, aud as the two present and
only Democratic members of the
Board of Supervisors mark the very
extremes In the matter OF financial
policy, the new candidates can not
very well go wrong, no matter what
they do.
The platform was read in its en-
tlrety.
1t was noticed that when the par
agraph relative to the Hapai side
walk was read, there was applause.
even by some prominent Republicans
In the audience.
Heen moved to amend the plat
form by striking out the portion re.
lating to the doing away with the
approval of the Superintendent OF
Public Works In the matter OF the
construction of new streets, roads,
etc. This portion of the county act,
said Heen, had already been cut out.
II was pointed out to Heen that
his motion was out OF order, as
under the rules which had just been
adopted, every amendment must be
in writing and signed by Ave dele
gates. Heen moved, in spite of the
fact that he himself had been the
chairman of the committee which
drafted the rules. that that portion
OF the rules be suspended, and this
carried. This was a fair sample OF
the manner in which the convention
conducted its business.
Kaniho wanted an amendment
calling for the legislators to pledge
themselves to work for a new sys-
tenn OF division OF the taxes between
the Territory and the counties. He
wanted the counties to have two
thirds of the money and the Terri
tory the remaining third. Nothing
came OF this amendment, and the
platform was adopted rs amended by
IIeen.

MANY LAUGHS
we're PRODUCED
Booze Responsible for Falls
On Gangway at China'S
Sailing.

Boosc and oal dust were both
present about sailing time Of the
China yesterday afternoon from tho
Bishop wharf. but In the laughs ere
ated By the effects of the former,
both passengers and onlookers for
got the discomfort occasioned by the
latter.
II was dirty and dusty all along
the front, and clouds Of dust. both
from the road and the coal ships
discharging, coated everyone who
passed along en- route to the dock
where the China lag
Not sign OF street sprinkling was
TO he seen. and as the Norwegian
steamer Torsdal came into the slip
next the China and began discharg
ing coal several hours before the
liner left. the decks of the usually
immaculate Pacific Mail steamer
were covered with coal dust. which
blew about In little clouds and form
ed drifts the same as snow might
do, only the coal was much more
comfortable for an outer covering
of the persons of passengers than
snow would have been.
All ports and doors on the port
side of the ship were closed tightly
TO keep out the penetrating dust
from the coal ship. but even these
precautions were not sufficient, and
more or less still came into state
rooms and other parts of the vessel.
The usual crowd was on hand to
bid farewell to the little China, only
Berger's band being absent from the
festivities.
II might be a missionary crowd on
board the China, hut there were as
many, II not more, through passen'
gers on the vessel who had looked
at the ruby wine or something else
with an intoxicating effect, ms have
passed through in recent weeks.
When the China came in yester-
day morning the dock gangway was
used for passengers, but II came so
high that everyone had to duck In
going down in order to get under
the side OF the she'd The ships
gangway was lowered later for pas
sengers.
II was this ships gangway which
caused all the trouble and falls, for
II could not be lowered sufficiently
to make the steps level. and those
passing over 1t must walk merely on
the outer edges of the steps.
During the last half hour before
sailing time the inebriated ones be-
gan to arrive, and many were the
attempts of the sterner sex to navi-
gate upward. All but one OF the
men made the trip in safety, but this
one couldn't tell the difference be-
tween steps and thin air. and tried
to wall, on the latter, with the usual
result.
What took the prize in the grace
full falling act was vision In law
ender with big baby-blue eyes. The
lavender girl, when halfway up,
thought she was walking on a level
floor and gracefully dropped length
wise the ladder. 1t was pitiful
look from the large eyes when
brought the chivalrous Honolulan to
the rescue and saw her safely on
deck.
The China got away promptly at b
o'clock, according to schedule, and
IL due to arrive in Yokohama on DC.
