UNCLE DISSECTED

A N enthusiastic woman says Uncle

netlsm, two parts irascible dominance,
a little tense. f1ve-foot-hve rapid fir
ing gun, with a cigar instead of a
ramrod, always trained on the enemy,
splitting bullets by the thousand, each
one finding it's billet and leaving a
CASH"
This is a true likeness. and explains
why the venerable Cannon is utterly
untitled for the duties of an impartial
semi-judicial office like that of speak
er.
AS a leader on the floor, subject to
the restraining discipline of the chair,
he might do very we'll AS the chair,
giving vent to his strong individual
ity, and interfering with the free play
of the deliberations of the represen-
tatives of the people of the United
States. he is out of place.
An ideal speaker would be without
irascibility. and while he was WELD
ing the gavel would forget his per-
sonal likes and dislikes, forego par
tisanship, and substitute square deal
ing for the policy Of legislative manip-
ulation, repression, interference and
tyranny, which has become known as
Cannonism.

VOTE THE BONDS

II OND campaign committee, in its
X active, vigorous work for the sue
~ cess of the great harbor and
power projects, is taking laudable
pains to impress on our good people
the practical nature of the investment
they are asked to make. One of the
notable examples Of harbor prosperity
which is described for the encourage
ment Of our citizens is the remarkable
case of the exceedingly successful
and plucky English city, Manchester.
Liverpool for years overshadowed
Manchester. Thirty-five miles from
tide water, what chance had the in
land city against its famous maritime
and commercial rival? The citizens of
Manchester were not daunted by cir
cumstances. While Liverpool first
jeered. then doubted. then gasped, the
people of Manchester built a ship
canal and a harbor. the total cost of
the undertaking being $S5,Oo00 900. The
prosperity of Manchester has been In
creased so greatly as to justify its am
bition and it's daring. Revenue from
shipping charges has paid interest on
the investment and provided a sink
ing fund with which to pay the bonds.
Much more fortunately situated than
Manchester, Los Angeles, by grit and
enterprise, can improve its fortunes
proportionately far more than those of
Manchester have been improved.
The investment of Manchester is
paying handsomely; but its returns
will be far exceeded by those derived
from Los Angeles investment in har-
Dor facilities and industrial power
supply Therefore, vote the bonds,
fearlessly and cheerfully. The bonds
will help Los Angeles to be in readi-
ness for the conditions which may be
expected after the completion Of the
Panama canal, conditions which will
make Greater Los Angeles the COM
mercial, mercantile, manufacturing,
maritime metropolis Of the west.

NAME-CHOPPING

N ATIVE SONS have made up their
Y minds to stop the practice of
~ curtailing the name of San Ber-
nardino to San Berdoo. In a resolution
that is being circulated condemnation
is expressed of the use of any name
but San Bernardino. Los Angeles
should sympathize with San Ber-
nardino. and help it keep its correct
name, because various attempts have
been made to shorten the we'll sounding
and famous name of our city.
Sometimes Angeles" has been pro-
posed, and sometimes Los" (pro-
nounced by bucolics "Lawss"). This
is an abomination. whats in a
name?" If there's anything at all, the
name is worth guarding, and in the
famous California names there is ro-
nance, there is tradition, there is his
tory. there is poetry, there is music
and there is attractiveness. The prac-
tice of name-chopping should be dis
countenanced by all citizens and friends
OF California.

METROPOLITAN STATION

wv ITH the success of the harbor
w and power bonds issue. the ne
cessity for a union station
worthy of Greater Los Angeles will be
increased. Any good judge of events,
of causes and consequences, can look
forward and see the present railway
station facilities of Greater Los An
geles win be overwhelmed by the in
crease of business unless measures are
speedily taken to prepare for the
future.
To delay in providing adequate rail-
road facilities for Greater Los Angeles
would be to commit singular act Of
improvidence, and to exempllfy Il
short-sighted policy which could not
fail to be injurious to all local inter-
ests, including the railway interest.
A union station is the logical solu-
tion of the problem Of adequate provi-
sion for the future as well as the pres
ent. Such a station, which would be
known as the Grand Union of Grand
Central, would help advertise Los An
geles; while increase of business
which is so plainly visible in every de-
partment of activity that a stranger
unfamiliar with the progressive habits
of Los Angeles would think the city
was enjoying a boom-Would guaran-
tee the railroad corporations profitable
returns on their investment, and would
help advertise the railroads and give
them constant increase OF business.

A FINANCIER

a UR morning Republican contem-
porary makes announcement:
~ Mrs. j. Pierpont Morgan and
Miss Annie Morgan, wife and daughter,
respectively, Of a New Yorh financier"
"a New York financler!" But, then,
there are so many New York fnan-
ciers, which can 1t be? Perhaps some
of our readers may have heard Of "a
New York financier" named ]. Pier
pont Morgan.
The name seems familiar to us.
Surely we have seen it somewhere be-
fore. In fact, if it had not been for
our contemporary suggestion it be-
longed to a New York financier, we
would have mistaken 1t for the name
of THE New York financier. 1t must
be delightful change for Mrs. and
Miss Morgan to find themselves starred
merely as relatives of "a fnancier,"
and not described in terms of Broad
and Wall streets. with the circumja
cent Nassau, William and broadway
and its Trinity peaceful village to
which the good millionaires go when
they are permanently retired.

scores of families to a strange land and
leave them pennlless in the midst of
new conditions when they were given
every reason to believe that they were
to be established in the most favorable
of surroundings with most of the COM
forts to which they had been accus-
toned. Such an outcome to the Men
nonites colonization scheme could only
result in disaster, not only to Martens
and the colonists, but to the hopes of
the county for success in further COLI
onization schemes. Kern county rest-i
dents need not be told of the lasting.
bad effects of a failure of these
schemes. 1t Is to be hoped, therefore,
that Martens may yet carry out his,
undertakings, and it should be the pur-'
pose of public spirited people to help,
him to do and to see that he does so.

BATHING SUITS

WI HAT constitutes a proper bathing
w costume? Chicago has made
the police the judges of this
delicate question. These eminent Gus
todians of public morals must now de-
eide the exact state at which the bath
ing skirt understeps the bounds of
modesty. If they see lady disport-
ing in the briny waves with garments
that stop too suddenly or begin too
late or are otherwise calculated to give
offense they must arrest her and re-
move her from publicity.
Why police training should fit man
for bathing suit censorhhip is not easy
to guess. But doubtless the bluecoats
assigned to patrol duty along the shore
will be equal to the occasion. From
time to time the orderly course of
bathing will be interrupted, and with
loud splash and a heartrending cry
of anguish a fat policeman will dash
into the water and drag forth a drip
ping offender.
After they have effected several
rescues of public morals and dragged
out bathers described too accurately by
their suits or neglected by them at the
extremities the police on duty will be
relieved by a new squad.
The police. it should be remembered,
are Josephs. Need we add Josephs, not
Of the Cannon type but of the original
pattern.
Their we'll known virtues. their aus
terity of life, their habits of self
devotion to duty, no matter how dis
agreeable, combine to ft them for the
heroic task to which they have been
assigned by the custodian of public
morals of the sanity city of Chicago.

1t has been taken to mean that the

1t means clearly that there will be
administered to the party in power a
stinging rebuke when the new congress

heads and half resolving that we would
take hand in the disciplining.
And maybe we will, for sometimes

But no matter what we do out here
in the way of enlarging the political
scrap heap, there will be a good deal
of casting off in the middle west and
evidently something of the sort in the
east.
There is no question whatever that
signs point to the greatest political
upheaval since 1892.
Maybe this time the Democrats will
have sense enough to use their oppor-
tunity with some restraint and wis
dom.
But whether they do or not, there is
no mistaking the fact that the oppor-
tunity will be theirs in abundance, for
the people are going to rise up and
smite the political promise breakers,
no matter who are the beneficiaries or
what use is made of the opportunity.
This, unfortunately, is the erratic,
irresponsible way in which the people
attend to their political business.

His voyage through life he cheerily steered'
Lost on misfortunes billow;
And as the wind has hauled and veered
Some fairy hope has Oft appeared
To lull him on his pillow.

His cable veered TO a full scope,
Waiting the word to rise.
