GOOD GOVERNMENT

TN VIEW Of the magnificent record
of work for the betterment Of Los
Il Angeles which constitutes the his
tory of the Good Government fund. It
is believed the public spirited citizens
Of Greater Los Angeles will respond
readily and heartily to n request for
an increase of the fund. in order that
legitimate sinews OF war may be pro-
vided for the various civic undertake
ings with which the Good Government
forces will be in duty bound to identify
themselves.
No man who has put his hand to the
plow and looks back is fit for success,
says a good book; and the motto of
Los Angeles Herald. "Vestigia nulla
retrorsum," is In the same spirit
Progress demands public support of
every movement which will protect
the interests Of the taxpayer and pro-
mote decency and order in the COM
munity in which he lives
Therefore all believers in good gov
ernment for Los Angeles should sub
scribe to the Good Government fund,
and by subscribing will take an active
and responsible part in the work. Let
the man of small means give according
to his ability: and let the man Of great
wealth give according to his: and the
result will be an assurance of a fund
sufficient TO pay those legitimate ex-
penses without which good work for
the city and the citizens of Los Angeles
cannot be successfully accomplished.
The following well known and highly
responsible citizens are in charge of
the fund for the current year: S. c.

one or two more are still playing and

New York, n. Y. May 2S.-Generally
speaking. the 19O9-1910 theatrical sea-

leading playhOuses have their doors
open, and occasionally first nighter'

It might be interesting at this time
TO take a glance over the past season
with view OF seeing what has been
accomplished by the progressive man
ayers and producers.
Financial Failure.
Financially. the season has been a
failure. This is admitted by all and is
undoubtedly due, to a greater extent TO
the enormous amount of new produc-
tions which passed away within a few
weeks after their premier. To list the
number Of failures would require much
time and space, as the season has been
banner one in the number of new
plays. To the onloOkers, 1t appeared as
though the mana gers were trying to
Guido one another in the quantity of
productions without paying much re-
gard TO quality. Half a dozen open
ingS were crowded into one night and

might be termed a continuous mara

the ground Fortunately, for him, the
