COUNCIL CANDIDATES

N REATER Los ANGELES is fortu-
a. nate in the fact that men of the
W highest caliber are willing under
good government conditions to offer
themselves as candidates for public Of
flee. Citizens of the type of George
H. Stewart and Frederick ]. Whiffen
would be candidates whom the public
could be asked to support on the
grounds of excellent record as well as
general good citizenship.
Mr.. Stewards services as chairman
of the consolidation committee make
his name inseparable from the success
of the Greater Los Angeles movement
and on the "forWard' program of our
big maritime city his viewpoint is that
of a seeing, patriotic citizen who
can look ahead to the time when
Greater Los Angeles will be the mari
time and industrial metropolis of the
west and the chief Pacific seaport in
connection with the Panama canal and
the oriental trade.
He appreciates the wisdom of making
suitable provision and preparation for
the days of the enhanced Importance
of our wonderfully successful city.

COST OF LIVING

TN DISCUSSING the high cost of
living, Representative Hamilton of
u Michigan said: "A few years ago
boys wore out their fathers old clothes,
made over according to a neighborhood
pattern. Now they have to have store
clothes, and socks to match their neck
ties, and college yell. A man was
considered we'll off if he kept a horse
and buggy. Now he has to have an
automobile, if he has to mortgage his
place to get it. The average business
man does business with a telephone at
one ear, a stenographer at each elbow,
a telegraph office next door, a wireless
station within easy reach, and automo-
biles at the door, and before many
years he will want flying machine
to avoid the crush in the street below"
This explanation won't do. Demand
for new clothes, etc, should make times
better, not worse. Telephoning and
telegraphing not only are cheap (and
they will be cheaper when under ma
tional controD, but the automobile in
dustry has brought a great deal of
money into the United States, has Civ
en- employment TO many men, and
should have made it easier and not
more difficult for the mass of the
American people to make ends meet.
1t is the mass of the people that should
be thought of first when the question
of living comes up. If wages had been
increased in proportion to expenses,
not a word would have been said about
increased cost of living. But wages as
a rule have not been increa sed in pro-
portion to expenses. If steady employ
ment had been guaranteed, nothing
would have been said about increased
cost of living. But employment has
not been guaranteed. The wage earn
ers have suffered most from the in
creased cost of living.

PRESBYTERIAN PROTEST

ON ETHICAL grounds, the Presby-
terian general assembly has de-
nounced prize fighting and has
asked Governor Gillett to prevent the
Jeffries-Johnson battle. This is i'm
portant news, which should arouse the
greatest interest among all citizens of
our state, no matter what may be their
views on the subject at issue.
The Presbyterian church is one of
the principal religious bodies of the
United States. It's organization is
is undoubtedly founded on its simple
but almost perfect plan.
Its influence is great, because its
protests or approvals are the protests
or approvals of the people. 1t is a
thoroughly democratic church, in which
laymen as we'll as clerics have voices
and votes.
When the Presbyterian democracy
denounces prize fighting, and takes
pains to specify California in connec-
tion with its protest be sure California
and its attitude toward prize fighting
soon will be receiving attention and
discussion in every Presbyterian pull
pit in Christendom. Now this, of
course, is great and practically uni
versal ertisement-possibly the big
gest and most thorough that could be
devised; but is it the best kind of ad-
vertising for our great state?
The general assembly sends word to
the nation it regards the prize fight
as evil and demoralizing to the best
interests of manhood and womanhood,
and publishes broadcast the following
resolutions:
"Resolved the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the United
States. while sympathizing with true,
clean sport and athletics in modera-
ton, does hereby utter its protest
against the holding of the Jeffries-
Johnson fight, and resolves that the
general assembly does utter its pro-
test to his excellency, Hon. James n.
Gillett, governor of California, and re-
spectfully urges him to use his IN
f1uence to prevent, if possible, t >
holding of the fight
'Resolved, that we urge all Presby-
terian brotherhoods and men in all our
churches in every state and synod to
utter the protest to their civil au-
thorities in their respective locations
in such way that no foothold shall
he afforded for the holding of this
fight anywhere in this Christian land.

CHIEF GALLOWAY

WY HEN Chief Galloway received a
w gold badge as token of esteem
w the spokesman said rightly it
was popular esteem, and not re-
strcted to members of the Caledonian
club and their friends. The chief in
his modest reply said he had tried to
learn police duties and to be good
policeman.
In his painstaking endeavor to give
the city of Los Angeles a square deal,
Chief Galloway has been successful.
He has substituted duty for poll
tics" in the police department, and a
mans pull no longer counts for any
thing, but his efficiency and reliabil-
ity count for everything. Both the
morale and the spirit of the Los An
geles police service have been improved
under the example and direction of
Chief Galloway. and most of the citi-
zens of Los Angeles will agree with his
admiring friends who at the presenta-
ton said he was the best chief of police
Los Angeles ever has had.

Rulers mighty clothed with power
Long without the gates we've stood;
Heed, OH heed our humble prayer.
Let us in. and we'll be good.

OF youthful follies we repent;
Upright shall be our future walk,
No longer doubt our wise intent
Though Graft has stalked with fearless

From Yuma to Raton
We're mailing on his coffin lid.
Wen hold the funeral soon.
'Tis polite our golden calves
A little longer to adore.
But once we've gained our statehood star
Wen dash them to the floor.
AS meek and patient supplicants,
We await your fav'ring mood
Grant us then this priceless boon.
Let us in. and wen be good.

FIRST PRINCIPLES

w HAT is an ion? 1t is an atom
w of electricity, and it's identifi-
cation and segregation have
long baffled scientific men engaged in
a search for first principles and for
the genesis of energy and of matter.
Professor Milliken of the University
of Chicago has trailed the ion to its
lair, and has deprived it of mystery
and described it in positive terms in
a lecture delivered before the Sigma
Chi society.
Professor Milli1en has come near to
demonstrating there is no absolute
rest in the world. The stillest air
consists of molecules in rapid motion
Not many years ago Professor Mann
assistant to Professor Christison of
the University OF Chicago, proved
there was no solid matter. He said
the X ray did not penetrate matter.
but the minute interstices between
actively vibrating particles of matter
He invented an instrument ne called
a ruling engine for the measurement
of the infinitesimal spaces between
particles" Someone in his class asked
him jocularly if a man who fell on q
sidewalk and hit it with his head
would dent it by jarring the rapidly
vibrating particles. "Most assuredly,"
was the professors answer; "and I
could measure the dent with my rul-
ing engine" AT this stage his bewil-
dered class was almost ready to in
auire "Since everything is nothing,
and matter is not solid but only seems
to be so, what is the use Of anything
anyway"

LOTS Of GOOD THINGS IN
LEAGUE BENEFIT PROGRAM
Professional Vaudeville Acts and
Classical Numbers Will
COpstitute Fine Bill

One of the most unique entertain
ments ever arranged in Los Angeles Is
that to be given Saturday evening for
the Americai Woman's league in the
Gamut club hall, 1O44 South Hope
street.
one of the items which go to make
this program so different" is that it
will be made up OF classical numbers
and vaudeville acts, with amateur and
professional artists sharing time, in
surfing a we'll balanced bill.
One of the big acts is to be con-
l,tributed by the mysterious soubrette,
for like the lady of the song, mo one
knows her number, no one knows her
name" Unknown, nameless, but one
of the most winsome and talented little
women on the vaudeville stage she has
consented to furnish a special act for
the league entertainment.
A piano soloist not yet out of her
teens, is going to prove another sur
prise. Virginia Lawrence and company
will appear in dainty little skit, Gu
pid and the Millionaire" Miss Law
renee was seen at the Mason some time
ago in "A Midsummer Nights Dream, .
and scored a tremendous hit. In Gu
pid and the Millionaire" she is support
ed by Charles Schory, formerly juvenile
in George Cohan's "Forty-fiVe Minutes
from Broadway"
This is but a glimpse of the program;
it should fill the Gamut club hall to the
S. r. o. point twice, for two perform
ances will be rendered if the ticket
sale justifies. And the entertainment
is to add to the American Woman's
league participation in The Herald s
voting contest. The league, through
Jennie Van Allen, is determined to win
the $4,000 home, and this entertainment
has been arranged to further the good
cause. Tickets are being sold at so
cents. They can be secured at 424
Blanchard hall--the American Womans
league headquarters. Get them early,

MATRIMONY

HN HE French Due De Montpensier
has expressed public views on the
Il subject of matrimony. There is
some excuse for what at first blush
may seem to look like an imperti-
nence on the part of the due. He has
heard so much about titled hunters of
American heiresses that he does not
wish to be suspected of being hunter.
He says, anyway, man ought not to
marry until he is middle aged, and
then, may we not add only if he can
find a woman willing to have him.
This consideration, however, does
not bother the French due, He talks
as if ."Peggotty" were always "willin','
no matter who "Barkis' may be.
Apparently the Due De Montpensier
does not know our independent, self
reliant American women But his views
are based on the continental idea of
the American heiress."
1t is about time this idea were re-
formed.

A SQUARE DEAL

MO GREATER "animus" inspires
the good roads construction in
~ quiry than a very natural and
patriotic desire to know whether tax
payers are getting a square deal The
good roads bonds were voted after an
enthusiastic campaign, in which the
benefits of a system of good roads were
pointed out to voters When the bond
issue was voted safeguards were taken
to assure efficiency.
Absolute efficiency and reasonably
steady progress in construction work
were expected. If there is any cause
for dissatisfaction, if there is any con-
struction that is not up to the mark if
there has been any unnecessary delay,
about it. Investigation into the good
roads building should be complete,
thorough and conclusive
The roads are being built not for
today or tomorrow, but for all time.
They will stand as testimonies Of
the twentieth century revival of the
old art of road making-a revival due
principally to the demands of the ever
increasing host of automobile users.
The modern good road must be an
automobile road, fit for the wear and
tear; and by the term automobile road
is meant not only highway for pleas
ure seekers or tourists, but one
fitted for the burden of traffic that
is certain to be imposed with the more
general use of freight as we'll as pas
senger carrying auto vehicles of all
