was the case with which we did 1t.
Then, too, our new navy is at least
second among the naVies of the earth.
That is not overlooked in France or
England, or Germany, though 1t may
be in America. The Immense capital
which we control. too, impresses for
eign observers. In fact, they recog-
powers, and that means that we must
be consulted and considered whenever
the world is doing politics.
TITS these facts which make the
man important who represents this
country. and who above all represents
the New America, the America that
has risen up since the Spanish war.
The United States is worth cultivat-
ing now, and therefore It's leading
representative and most distinguished
citizen is received with special hon
ors.
For the MASSES in Europe, the dem
onstrations are in honor, not only of
the man but of the democracy he
represents. The people are impressed
even by the fact that he calls upon
their emperor or king wearing only n
silk hat and an ordinary dresss suit.
There is none of the glitter and trump-
cry of royalty about him, and that fact
makes an enormous impression upon
Europeans, Just az the Chinese are
said to have been astonished to see
their prince, who is coming over here,
dressed as European when they called
upon him in Honolulu.
AS American presidents do not go
abroad an ex-president is as near a
representative visitor as Europe can
expect to have. and therefore she Is
showing Roosevelt the same attention
she would show a reigning sovereign.
The democracy of the United States,
however, is not the only gamer by the
tour of Roosevelt The honors shown
him will reflect and strengthen the
principles he represents among the
political systems of the world. Pre-
cedents have been destroyed, and a
plain citizen has sat in the seats of
the mighty. For that. regardless of
party, regardless of personal Views
concerning Roosevelt, let us be thank
full, and rejoice at the triumph of
democratic principles which the hon
ors showered upon him signify.

something brand new in putting it up
to the state of New York to establish
public camp sites in the big new park
which Mrs. Edward H. Hartman, the
widow of the financier, has offered to
give to the state. The matter is now
before the legislature, backed by Gov

The Hartman country place, stun

besides $1,000,000 in cash to buy the
adjoining territory and other public

LOS ANGELES HERALD

II OS ANGELES HERALD acknowl-
edges receipt of a resolution of
"a appreciation of the services of the
newspapers in the great and successful
campaign for harbor and power bonds
The resolution is worded as follows:
"Resolved, that the general campaign
committee for the harbor and power
bonds, realizing the effective work of
the press in the campaign closing
April 10, 1910, and the wide publicity
given to the facts surrounding this
hond ISSUE and the unity of purpose
evinced hereby expresses its appre-
citation and congratulates each news
paper which devoted its columns to the
cause upon having had a part in thus
opening the way for speedy develop
ment of a great maritime and manu-
featuring city,
The Herald had FIVE GREAT I'M
PROVEMENTS ON ITS PROGRAM.
The Herald was one of the first pa
pers to advocate CONSOLIDATION.
Greater Los Angeles is established.
The Herald advocated a school bond
ISSUE in order that ample provision
might be made for the children of our
constantly increasing population. The
school bond issue won. The future
prosperity of the cause of education in
Greater Los Angeles is assured.
The Herald advocated GOOD ROADS
for Los Angeles county, in order that
ample facilities should be provided for
internal and interurban traffic. The
good roads are being built; and The
Herald will see to it they are BUILT
HONESTLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
And The Herald advocated harbor
improvement and provision of a sup
ply of industrial power. The harbor
will be improved in such fashion it
may with confidence invite the ship
ping of the world to make Greater
Los Angeles port of call. And there
will be abundance of power for manu-
featuring. Every cause The Herald
has advocated has triumphed. Every
fight for the right in which The Her
aid has engaged has been won. 1t has
established a splendid record, of which
any newspaper might well be proud.
In its battles for the public, for
Americanism, for civic righteousness,
for progress, for prosperity, THE
HERALD is ALWAYS A WINNER.
That's The Herald way; and the Los
Angeles way.

4 MERICANo will fail to appreciate
u fully the meaning of the extraor-
a binary honors which Roosevelt is
receiving in Europe If they think they
are intended exclusively for him, and
mean nothing for the country which
he represents.
Thirty-four years ago another ex-
president of the United States went
abroad. He had commanded the armies
of the nation in the greatest war of
modern times. and he went with
much more ceremony and glamour
than Roosevelt Military prestige
means very much more on the east
side of the Atlantic than it does on
the western shore. Americans are
rather inclined to look down on the
wearing of a uniform and to consider
it permissible only when necessary.
Grant personally was then a greater
man in the eyes of Europe than is
Roosevelt, who has practically no mil
itary fame. and who achieved his vic
tories on the political rather than the
military field. Yet the reception of
Grant was as nothing compared to
the attention which Roosevelt is get
ting.
But the country which Grant rep
resented was a good deal further off,
and of vastly less Importance in the
opinion of European diplomats than
the United states which is behind
Theodore Roosevelt. The Spanish war
was not much of fight from the
American standpoint, but it was a
vastly more important event than the
civil war. IN the effect il had on the
position of this country among the
nations of the earth. Until then we
occupied about the same position in
the thoughts of a European chancel-
lor that Brazil or the Argentine does
today.
We had taken no part of any great
Importance in European, or at least of
world affairs. We had never meddled
much in European politics. We were
not supposed to have much war
strength. The nations which are to-
day cheering Roosevelt were busy
twelve years ago predicting our de-
feat at the hands of Spain. 1t was
not the fact that we conquered Spain
that impressed Europe so much as 1t

sUFFRAGIsTs AND PRESIDENTS;
CITY CLUB, POPE AND ADAMS

SOUTH PASADENA, May a led
itor Heraldl After referring kindly to
the writer's criticism of Mr.. Taft's
discourtesy-to put it mildly-to the
woman suffrage convention. Sarah
Spencer, in your issue of April q, says:
"Of one thing beware Don't refer
to the Republican platforms as if they
represent anything in particular, for
they don't"
assure Sarah Spencer that I did
not refer to that platform as embody-
ing my idea of what legislation is
necessary to make possible happy
people, but as embodying Mr. Tafts
idea of the proper line of action for
Republicans; for If the president is
devoted to one thing more than an
other, it is to the platform of the Re
publican party-that is the stand
pat" element of that party. At least 1t
seems to me, Judging by his words
and acts that his interest in the party
takes precedence of his interest in the
welfare of the whole people, of what
ever party whose interests as pres-
dent he is supposed to serve.
Now. for a specimen of mems ability
to control their feelings, see the report
in The Herald few days ago of the
conduct of the men of the City club at
the Westminster hotel, the occasion
being a luncheon given in honor of
Hon. Alva Adams of Colorado. And
this disgraceful tumult was all because
Mr.. Pope, having asked and obtained
permission to ask Mr.. Adams question,
asked what some, at least, considered
a discourteous question. And that was
all: and these men are voters. o the
inconsistent Mr.. Taft! In reply to the
statement that Democrats will not
stand for woman's enfranchisement,
wish to call attention to the fact that
when the woman suffrage amendment
was submitted to the voters more
Democrats than Republicans in Los
Angeles voted yes. NJ. V. L.

tendency is all the other way. And,
curiously enough, most of the great
state universities which President Will
son of Princeton praises so highly, at
the expense of the older universities,
like his own, that are under private
control, have students Of both sexes.
Fortunately for ones peace of mind
there is some reason for thinking that
co-education, though probably not
thing entirely good, is not quite as
disastrous as DIR. Green thinks. Ex-
cuse for that, if needed, is to be found
in the fact that he puts first among
its disadvantages the excessive nervous
strain to which woman students are
subjected when they compete with men
for classroom honOrs.

Two travelling men landed in west

only hotel in the place filled with
guests. Even the billiard table had
been turned into a bed.
The hotel clerk, wishing to accomn1o-
date the strangers, told them that the
sexton of the Methodist church had
left his key at the desk, and if they
would keep the thing to themselves
they could sleep on pew cushion OF
course they agreed. and found their
way to the church. About midnight
the bell in the church was heard ring
ing violently.
The sexton rushed to the building,
and upon attempting to get in at the
door was shocked to hear the order,

WANTS DICE SHAKING AT
THE CIGAR STAND STOPPED

LOS ANGELES, May 4.-[Editor
Herald: 1t is. indeed, gratifying to
note in your editorial columns of late
the decided stand taken against
gambling, and it is to be hoped, too,
that Mayor Alexander who asks the
public to take part in the suppression"
will extend his house cleaning" even
to the cigar stand gambler for it can
not be denied that gambling is carried
on in these places.
Now, my dear cigar stand clerks, do
not think for minute and half that

stands on Sundays, but l do think he
would be doing a good act by prohibit
ing the shaking of those "bones" not
only on Sundays, but on all days.
