THE MEXICAN RIOTS

wv HILE the assaults made upon
w American citizens in Mexico is
" of no especial international I'M
portance because of the certainty that
the United States and Mexico will
mutually make prompt amends for the
discreditable incidents on each side
they have an Importance because OF
the i'll feelings that are certain to be
fostered between the natives of the two
sides in the southwest and possibly of
more serious outbreaks in the future
Americans having given the provo
cation by burning at the stake a Mex
lean at Rock Springs Texas, who had
confessed to the murder of an Amer
lean woman, it is not to be wondered
at that the denial of the forms of JUS
tice should create bitter feeling in Mex
leo apart from any question of sym
pathy for the murderer. We can lmag-
inc what an indignant protest would
have gone up if the lynching had been
done on the other side.
So long as Americans indulge them
selves in lawless and barbarous prac-
tices they nave poor inoFal cIdlill
on any other people, and to assume a
pose of superiority to Mexico now
would be to play the bully. Some Of
the Indignation might better be saved
for the real grievances inoffensive Am
ericans are subjected to in Mexico un-
der the despotism of Diaz.
The antipathy of the races is a cur
ious chronological thing. The white
man always has and probably always
will seek to dominate by fair or foul
means any other race. 1t is at the bot
tom of the negro problem, Of the sus-
picion of Japan, the lack of sympathy
with all Orientals, and the friction
with the Mexicans, who are only part
white. Where the races of any color
come into serious rivalry with our own
the white man brooks nothing and in
| the case of a crisis stops at nothing,
But his superiority in physical and
mental equipment is so great that if
he behaves himself he can never be
| seriously rivaled by any other race.
If he does not behave and undermines
his own strength he will be down be-
fore the others.

Reformatories Decrease Crime

"It is clearly evident, from thorough
study of the criminal statistics of
states where the reformatory methods
have been adopted, that the average
length of sentences has Increased and
not diminished, and that crime has not
Increased in a ratio to the population.
"The reformatory system appeals to
it's advocates as being reasonable,
scientific, practical and Christian way
of dealing with criminals. It's methods
should be extended and their applica-
ton made general. No longer should
justice be represented by tho figure of
a woman with bandaged eyes, holding
in her hands scales weighing out JUS
tice and Furnishing the guilty; but
the figure should represent universal
motherhood, with eyes wide open to
the possibilities of humanity and a
heart throbbing with compassion and
mercy toward her unfortunate chill
dren."
The Los Angeles Prison Reform
league aims to make clear these and
other facts to Legislators at Sacramento
next January.

How did Los Angeles come to IN
crease her population more than I'll per
cent in ten years, jumping from the
Albany and Atlanta class to that OF
New Orleans and Washington, d. e.!
Unlike Topsy, cities don't Just grow.
and when such phenomenal increases IN
population as those in Detroit, BIZ
mingham, Ala, and Los Angeles are
recorded it is instructive to sister cities
to examine into the causes. Ten years
ago Los Angeles had 102,479 people; TO
day she has 919, 1913. There has been no
wholesale annexation of SUBURBS.
Fruit growing and general farming Ia
t e region OF which Los Angeles is the
metropolis have had wonderful oe-
velopment during the last. ten years
and the city has shared in their pros
perity. The climate of Los Angeles, her
cleanliness and beauty her compara-
tive freedom from disease, are al rae
tors contributing to her desiraolllty as
a place of residence. Then Los Angeles
has gained a reputation as the nome
of many persons of wealth and TINS
has induced merchants from other
cities to engage in business there ana
has attracted capital for investment in
hotels, office buildings and other cosby

SMALL DAIRYMANs COMPLAINT

Editor Herald: Thousands of dol
lars are spent daily in advertising this
beautiful country of ours. Nowhere
ar the inducements greater for the
man with little capital. The rich
ness of our soil, and the ever ready
market, pay good dividends on money
invested in our small, as well as large
farms. The city of LOS Angeles is sup
piled by the small producer. The
great ranches are almost a thing Of
the past; there may be a few, but
every year the number diminishes
With our limited territory we should
foster and protect our industries, be
they large or small
Under ordinary conditions, the small
dairymen receive good returns, but
the small dairies like the large ranches,
are decreasing year by year. Strange
to say, in place of protecting the small
dairies, Los Angeles is putting them
out of business. The board of health
has passed laws and regulations that
the small dairyman cannot comply
with and realize returns sufficient for
the amount invested.
It is very necessary that the milk be
in a sanitary condition when received
in Los Angeles, but the small dairy
should not have to suffer for the evils
of the large. Ask the creamery man
which is the most sanitary-the large
or small dairy-and nine times out of
ten he will reply, "the small"
There should be a competent board
Of inspectors allowed the freedom of
their own judgment, as to whether a
dairy is in a sanitary condition or not;
not bind them by 'ironclad rules and
regulations. The large dairies can af-
ford to ice their milk, put up furnaces,
etc, but the small dairy cannot. Ow-
in to the small amount of milk han
died the small dairy can put out purer
milk and not comply with all the pres
ent regulations, than the large dairy
that complies with all the regulations.
Los Angeles receives hundreds Of
pounds Of supposed sweet cream from
Tulare and other outlying districts that
does not have to stand inspection. Why
should this be 50? Does it appear rea-
sonable to cultivate outside trade and
destroy home industry? Milk in some
of the outlying districts is produced
in many instances under the most un-
sanitary conditions, and yet that milk
is allowed to compete with the home
producer who has to stand rigorous

CIVILIZATION AND CLOTHES

Editor Herald: Reading the various
arguments for and against the wear
ing of clothes one would think man
came into this world clothed animal
and not q naked bit of human flesh.
Garments were Originally used for
ornament and not as now for protec-
tion against the weather. Like the
polar bear in the Arctic circle did we
not wear manufactured clothing hair
would grow upon our bodies in suffi-
cient abundance to keep our skins
warm.
AS to morality and nudity, it is large
ly a matter of education, mind habit
and climate. In Persia it is regarded
immodest for the harem beauties to eX-
pose thir faces to public view, while in
Japan the young girl was neither I'M
modest nor ashamed to battle in public.
She did not exhibit herself in the "al-
together for hire as almost do some
of our civilized women in our civilized
dance halls, but feeling the need OF
bath she simply took one, spectator
or no spectator.
I use the past tense because our
occidental civilization may, in the last
few wears, have made the Japanese
maid suffer from "civilized" modesty,
and changed her bathing habits
Artists complain that it is almost
impossible to find perIect human
body to pose in the nude for them, and
when we think of the wasp-Walsted,
corset-wearing feminine portion of
civilized humanity we don't wonder at
the impossibility.
But if humanity went back to naked
ness, what would become of those oc-
cupations directly dependent upon
clothes, viz, the milliner, the tailor.
the dressmaller, the shoemaker, the
seamstress, the corsetmaker ana the
dry goods furnisher? Where would
they get off at?
Civilization, as now constituted, is
largely dependent upon clothes.
