fered to take fake bonds) will enable
San Diego to have her little try at the
dead old experiment which has brought
many of the great metropolises of the
world to their senses only after mil
lions of the tax payers money had
been squandered in the innocent pur-
suit of the other and of the rainbow
which starts in the head of any social
istic agitator who chooses to begin a
campaign for good government or civic
righteousness along advanced lines.
Presumably, 1t will be some time
before the present epidemic of muni-
cipaI ownership spends its force and
American communities can once more
settle down to rational business meth
ods. Perhaps nothing but actual ex-
perience and serious loss can prevent
some cities from voting big burdens
for themselves for the pleasure of run
ming (for a few brief years of go-as-
you-please bookkeeping and political
pork barrel feasting) their own mu-
nicipally owned and municipality man
aged plants. these ideal manufactur-
ing establishments which so cheaply
and so economically and so 1oyously
furnish the community with "the light
that failed" everywhere else. In the
meantime, 1t is for those of less
idealistic mind to do what they may
to labor with their infected neigh
bors. in which effort they will be
nightly assisted IL they will inform
themselves, by a plain unVarnished
story of the monumental failures and
the ruinous experiences in other cities.

ARTISTIC HOMES OF SAN DIEGO

San Diego is essentially a city of
homes, and during the past two years
there has been erected a greater num-
ber than in any previous five years in
the city's history.
The cost of these and the artistic
character of architecture and construc-
ton have improved and advanced in
more than the same ratio. The San
Diego of today compares with credlt
in its residence improvement with any
of Southern Californias cities, not even
excepting Los Angeles and Pasadena.
MANY factors have contributed to this
most satisfactory condition, first among
them being, naturally the commerclal
growth of the city, but this is supple
mented by the attractions of an ideal
living climate, close to the sea, build
ing sites of unrvaled beauty and the
moderate cost of desirable property.
The price of lumber and other building
materials is as moderate as can be
asked and skilled labor is to be had
at cost that is right.
The planting of trees, palms and
shrubs is contributing to the creation
of beautiful home districts, and about
all is an air suggestive not only OF
home comfort, but of individual and
general prosperity as well.
The residence district of city is the
best indication of it's permanent ad-
vancement, and in this regard san
Diego is surely entitled TO welcome
comparison, and yet we claim to have
only fairly started.

THE LIGHT THAT FAILED
The History of Municipal Lighting
the History of RuinouS
FinanCiering

1t is safe to say that if any other
line of commercial manufacturing re-
vealed anything like the almost un-
broken succession of dismal failures
that is the history of municipal light
ing plants it would be exceedingly diff
ficult to finance another venture in
the same field. Capital would shrink
like sensitive plant at the very sug-
gestion that it embark upon an enter
prise at once so hazardous and so fore
doomed to a ruinous end. Basing Its
hesitation upon the continuous record
of unsuccessful experiments, it would
politely but firmly decline to attempt,
i'm obedience to the siren song of mere
sociological visionaries and kindergar-
ten fnancicrs to carry to success in
some new city the very experiment
that had turned out so disastrously In
so many other cities. Upon those who
urged that the chimerical adventure be
essayed yet once again capital would
impose the task of proving how the
impossible in most places could hope
to be possible in that particular place.
Capital is from Missouri.
From time to time. however, we do
read that sbll another city is about to
go into the municipal lighting business,
or that some other town having al
ready bought this pretty little munich
nal toy is charmed with it. Now there
must be some reason for this manifest
lesion in the municipal mentality. There
must be some explanation of the
strange phenomenon of society ve1tur-
ing where no individual would dare
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-14

to risk his money, and of a community
as such although made up of prudent
and wise business men, rushing into a
decidedly speculative business PROPOSE
tion into which the citizens themselves
as individuals would never dream of
launching.s
Nor is this explanation far to seek.
1t is to be found in the mazes of the
comparatively new science of social
psychology. This new science has much
to say about the psychology of the
mob. 1t presents a vast amount or
proof in support of the theory that the
human mind acts in the individual man
in one way and in quite different way
in the collective or social mental pro-
cesses. Every election affords further
evidence of the fact that public ques-
tions may be and frequently are an
swered by groups and masses of men
in a manner radically different from
that in which normal men would an
swer the same question II 1t were pro-
pounded to them separately. 1t is the
old story of "eyerybody's business be-
ing nobody's business The funds of
even a small society or lodge are voted
away. the borrowing capacity of a
church or other organization is strained
and the mourning of infinite financial
responsibilities by bodies is blissfully
undertaken, with such laxity and in
souciance that, in the case of an indi-
vidual, the result would be speedy
bankruptcy or a reputation for finan-
cial shadiness. Where the private an
gel hesitates to tread the munlclpal
fool rushes headlong.
Another cause of the astonishing
willingness upon the part of cities to
throw experience to the winds and to
defy statistics and the ordinary die
tates of business common sense is that
municipal ownership is thought to be
an integral part of the general pro-
gram of reform which the newer school
Of sociologists and "antis" are so as
siduously advocating. Along with such
alluring municipal doctrines as gov

WONDERFUL
CLOCK

This wonderful clock with twenty
dials stands twenty-one feet high and
tells simultaneously the time of all
nations; also the day of the week. date
and month, and marks the seconds.
Four of the dials are each four feet in
diameter. The master clock is inclosed
in plate glass, so that it's every action
can be seen, and the whole is illum-
mated every night. The clock is jew
eled with tourmaline, topaz, agate ana
jade. The Jewels end every part OF
this intricate mechanism were designed
and made in our shop 1t is the most
completely jeweled, best finished and
best made street clock in America, and
the only clock of it's kind ever built in
a retail jewelry store in the world.
The motive power is 2OO-pound
weight, and it winds itself automati-
cally. 1t took fifteen months to build
and cost about $4,000. The master clock
was exhibited at the state fair in Sac

Ia struction company. Starting from
a small beginning last September the
business of the company has grown by
leaps and bounds. For the first 2alf

per cent of the building undertaken in
San Diego At first the paid up capital
was small, while the third quarterly
statement issued July 1 shows paid
up capital of nearly $214,000 and a\sur-
