LOS ANGELES HARBOR

7 OOKING forward to the develop
ment of the harbor of Greater
IL Los Angeles into a world port,
the board of public works wishes to
secure the services of Leslie r. Hewitt
as special counsel for the harbor
bureau which will be organized. In the
letter sent by the board to the council
the case was stated as follows: "The
purpose of the city to construct harbor
improvements at San Pedro and
Wilmington imposes on this board
duties of unusually great Importance
and magnitude. in the performance of
which we feel that it will be absolutely
necessary that the board should have
the assistance of a competent attorney
at-law, to give special and exclusive
attention to matters of a legal nature
connected with the proposed harbor
improvements. We find the prelimi-
nary consideration of the work greatly
embarrassed by uncertainties as to
what the city legally can and should
do, and on this account the develop
ment and adoption of policies and
plans for the work is being seriously
hampered and delayed. The COM
mencement and prosecution of actual
construction work will, we believe, be
attended by legal complications that
will keep one good attorney busy in
attendance on this board to give ad-
vice or in court to manage litigation
affecting the harbor."
The harbor Of Greater Los Angeles
will give useful occupation to many
citizens with trained brains, and. as
commerce is developed, to many whose
stock in trade is physical strength
The harbor will add appreciably to the
general prosperity of Greater Los
Angeles.

'AMICUS' QUESTIONS IS. s.
ABOUT VEGETARIAN DIET

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 2.-LEd-
itor Herald: In your issue of April "a
S. S. states that 'If plants have nerV-
Gus system and a capacity for suffer
ing, no true vegetarian would hesitate
to abstain from killing them"
How about wearing silk gowns, S. ). y!
Do you wear stuffed birds or silk RIB
bon on your hats? Do you rigidly alb
stain from wearing furs?
In regard to that substitute for leath-
er, which you take such delight in ad-
vocating, we would like to say that
we have made its acquaintance mas
querading as coWhide, and have found
it decidedly unsatisfactory. We have
heard, too, a great many things about
the wonderful endurance of Vegetarl-
ans, their feats of strength, etc. (ad-
vanced, of course, by Vegetarlans), but
we have got to be shown.
We are perfectly willing to believe
in the ability of S. S. to show us that
family of seven in Los Angeles, but we
have our doubts about finding them
anywhere else.
our next door neighbors are vegetari-
ans who preach their doctrine on all
occasions, and as houses in this town
join each other in rows, they have no
difficulty in finding out just when we
are having a good old New England
dinner, or some particularly appetlZlng
roast. At such times we are quite GER
tain to have company at dinner, ana
while these good people are too virtu-
Gus actually to partake of the meat
vet they do not object to eating huge
quantities of the gravies. Can S. 5.
tell us the difference between eating
the devil and drinking his BROTH?
We have still another grievance. AT
the recent meat boycott in Washington
we were nearly mobbed because we
refused to join the ranks of abstain
ers for sixty days." but we held to the
principle of eating what we choose.
Results: Prices soar higher through
out the sixty days, and half of the alb
stainers sneaking in behind the regu-
lars and paying prices of their own
making, with their pledges in one
pocket and depleted wallets in the
other.
If reformers really expect to accom-
plish anything they must have enough
backbone to stick to their own prof.
ects. If their schemes are worth any
thing to individuals, to nations, the
American people are too intelligent, too
selfish. to let anything escape them
which will in any way add TO their
self-indulgence.
According to S. s., the motives of
vegetarians are not of the highest
being simply to cater to their own per-
sonal comfort. AMICOo'

DECLARES PROTECTIVE TARIFF
is FORM OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE

LOS ANGELES, May 6.-[Editor
HERALD: Is it not strange that a peo
pie possessing the reputed intelligence
of those of the United States should AL
low themselves to be humbugged, as
they have been for the last forty years,
by a protective tariff that has robbed
the producers and consumers of wealth
of billions of dollars for the express
purpose of creating an oligarchy on
the ruins of a republic? Is it not
fact that protection Is nothing more
nor less than legalized plunder-an in
sidious scheme whereby the money IS
filched from the pockets of one man
and conveyed to the pockets of another
by law? What right has any govern
ment to lay its hands on my money
and transfer it to the pockets of an
other? 1t is a special privilege con-
ferred on one class of persons to the
detriment of others that no govern
ment should tolerate, and yet it Is the
cardinal principle of the Republican
party.
Eugene Foss. congressman-el elect from
the Fourteenth Massachusetts district.
declared recently that he now "enjoyed
in his various business enterprises from
As to 100 per cent protection. 1t is too
protection, and l ought not to have it.
All that have above a certain point
represents graft. I am willing that
protection should be cut right in half,
and then I would have all the protec-
tion ] am entitled to-"
There you have it in a nutshell. A
frank admission by one of the bene-
ficiaries that it is simply graft.

MOTHERS DAY

n HIS is Mothers day in the churches
of the United States. Mother Is
4 by far the greatest and most i'm
portant person in the republic. In fact,
without her there would be no republic.
American mothers are not allowed to
vote for public officials, but every
American mother is chief executive Of
her own home, and the discharge of
this responsibility leaves her little time
for public duties.
OF late she has been attending moth
ers' meetings and child study circles,
and has been comparing her expert
ences with those of other mothers, but
no hard and fast set of rules for the
upbringing of children has ever been
devised or ever will be.
Mothers influence is not a matter of
rules, but of instinct and heart and ex-
perience and loving kindness. AS long
as the American mother makes the
American home and sends forth do
mestlcally trained citizens to take their
places in this great sympathetic, do
mestic nation, the republic will flourish
and the old star-spangled banner in
triumph will wave DER the land of the
free and the homo Of the brave ...- .

WOULD MAKE 1T TREASON FOR
WOMAN TO MARRY TITLED MAN

LOS ANGELES, May S.-[Editor
Herald: Section 9, clause 8 of the
constitution of the United States
reads as follows: mo title of nobility
shall be granted by the United States,
and no person holding any office of
trust under them shall, without the
consent of congress, accept of any
present emolument, office or title OF
any kind whatever from any king,
prince or fore ign state"
In the light of the above quotation
is it not a sort of treason for women
of the United States to secure titles
nv marriage to "the nobility" No
doubt there are a few of 1.-The nobility"
who are noble by their inherent quail
ties but seldom do the American
heiresses marry foreigners for that
reason. but to the contrary, because
they are. or happen to be, noble" ac-
cordinp to foreign law. American juris-
prudence considers it impossible to
manufacture nobility that way So it
certainly is a "slap in the face" to
American principle which Is real no
bilitv. for any american" to marry
into royalty for the sake OF title
of nobility III, ,..
No doubt women soon VIII have
LEGAL right to vote in this country, and
no doubt heiresses VIII be aspiring TO
Offices of trust and profit and titles OF
"nobility" at the same time, but they
cannot hold office and receive a title
of mobility" Which will they re-
nounce?

LEADERSHIP

Z n April Los Angeles led all cities of
the Pacific coast in activity of
n building operations, the record
showing an increase of 231 per cent.
Oakland follows with an increase of 22O
per cent. Stockton shows 43 per cent
gain.
Nationally, second place is taken by
Los Angeles, and South Bend, Ind, is
third with an increase of 223 per cent.
Los Angeles building activity
shows business conditions throughout
Greater Los Angeles are prosperous.
Financially and commercially, the city
is on solid basis; and the inviting
prospects afforded by the Owens river
industrial power supply and harbor i'm
provement will be most attractive to
capital.
Investment in any form of business
activity i'm Greater Los Angeles is GER
tain to prosper. The steady expan-
sion of the city in every direc-
ton keeps the real estate market
active in every section; and many new
tracts are being built up. Greater Los
Angeles, the leader of the west, is one
of the leading cities Of the world.

MEXICO

4 NEW railroad, the Tucson &, West
IA Coast of Mexico, will establish
IA closer bonds of commercial union
between Mexico and the United States,
and the friendship expressed in the con-
gratulatory messages wired to Tucson
by the presidents of the republics voice
the sentiments Of the two peoples.
President Taft telegraphed: 81 am
glad to learn of the celebration at Tue
son of the opening of the Tucson &
West Coast of Mexico railroad, and I
wish in this way to express my graft
fication at the closer commercial rela-
tions to be inaugurated between the
United States and Mexico by this event.
which I am sure will strengthen the
bonds of friendship already existing be-
tween the peoples of the two countries" J"
President Diaz sent this message: ut
pleases me greatly to know new rail-
road between Mexico and the United
States will be inaugurated. AS lines of
communication between neighboring
countries are multiplied their friendly
and commercial relations become more
important. I congratulate the Tucson
& West Coast of Mexico railroad on
having carried to a successful compile
ton this enterprise"
1t is inevitable relations between the
United States and Mexico will become
closer. Cultivation of friendship and
good understanding will enable both
nations to prepare themselves for the
problems which must be solved in the
future

CHARITY

nAG day is Los Angeles charity
carnival. 1t has become as unique
n and distinctive, as typical of
Southern California and of the Los
Angeles way, as the Fiesta de los Flo
res was; but it has in it an element
of permanence the Fiesta lacked.
The purpose of Tag day will estab-
lish and perpetuate it, and it may be
expected as regularly as any national
holiday
Good nature and generosity marked
this years celebration. The taggers
found their work "lark'; the tagged
were willing to be tagged, and pungled
up with smiling faces.
The result of the days frolic of
funny salesmanship is handsome sum
which will be devoted to the institu-
tions maintained in Los Angeles for
the purpose of helping the helpless.
With the increase of the city's area
and population there is an increase of
the necessity for charity. Ours is the
most aggressive, independent and self
helpful of all civilizations, and yet it
has found the impossibility of elimin-
ating or abolishing the poverty which
dogs progress. Since it is a situation
and not a theory that confronts US. 1t
is we'll our people are prepared to cope
with it by their generous donations to
all humanitarian causes. Great was
the success of Tag day. and its success
was a most creditable testimony to Los
Angeles good-heartedness and a wor-
thy example of the Los Angeles way.

LIBRARIES

result of much experience. He has
become interested in finding out the
best method for the circulation Of
books. He regards the library as an
agent Of the greatest good for the
greatest number.
This, we believe, Is the reason for
the partiality for branch Libraries
shown by him recently lie thinks
books ought to be circulated from a
series of distributing stations end at
intervals the entire stock of books in
one station should be transferred to
another. He does not take kindly to
the museum style of library, which
would have all the books of all the
ages assembled under one roof and
shelved, departmental, catalogued, in
dexed, dissected, analyzed-EVERY
THING BUT READ.
At the same time we believe if Mr..
Carnegie can be informed the Central
Library building of Greater Los An
geles will be used as the library head
quarters, In connection with which
many branch libraries will be oper-
ated, and that from the main reser-
voir the books will be allowed to
stream out through the branches so
that every part of the city win be
covered" by the library, he may en-
tertain the proposition to recommend
the case of Greater Los Angeles to
the favorable attention of the trus-
tees of the Carnegie library fund.

William R. Williams, state treasurer
of California, in his City club address,
called attention to unsystematic and
unbusinesslike methods of bookkeeping
in governmental use. Mr.. Williams
act business with as little information
as governmental bookkeeping systems
provide would soon have to close his
doors, unless he had an extra big bank
roll. This is a business country, and
government should be conducted in a
businesslike way.

ROOSEVELT'S WISDOM

H HEODORE ROOSEVELT in his
Nobel prize address brought to
Il the attention Of Europe the great
and important fact that in American
ism the world is already provided with
a plan of living in concord and pros
perity. Students of the history, con-
stitution and politics of the United
States are familiar with the efficacy
of Americanism as applied to social
regulation and political government.
1t is a constant cause of wonder to
students that the American people do
not insist on a more literal demon
stration of first principles; on a more
consistent obedience to the rules of
the game, which are stated In the
plainest of plain English. It would
require an heroic effort of unintelli-
gence to misunderstood them.
Col. Roosevelt said: 81 cannot help
thinking that the constitution of the
United States, notably in the estab-
lishment Of the supreme court and in
the methods adopted for securing
peace and good relations among and
between the different states, offers
certain valuable analogies to what
should be striven for in order to Sc
cure, through The Hague courts and
conferences, A SPECIES OF WORLD
FEDERATION FOR INTERNA-
TIONAL PEACE AND JUSTICE"
Col. Roosevelt might have gone fur
ther and pointed out Americanism
comes nearer to being an international
political panacea than any other plan
that has been suggested. 1t illustrates
a rare combination; for 1t is both
altruistic and practical.
These truths were self-evident in the
beginning, and will be self-evident to
the end: All men are created equal.
They are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights; among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. TO SECURE THESE
RIGHTS, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
