VOTE THE BONDS

n ARELY have the citizens of Greater
X Los Angeles and never have those
AZ of any other city had such
an opportunity of improving their con-
dition and augmenting their prosperity
presented to them as exists in the COM
ing bond election. When, one week
from today, the bonds are voted, Los
Angeles will be in fair way of being
able to take advantage of the mag
niflcent opportunities which friends and
onlookers, as we'll as residents. have
seen could be hers for the taking. But
they must be taken. There must be
action.
One part of the great bond program
is concerned with the issuance and
sale of $9,0O0,000 harbor bonds. The
harbor of Greater Los Angeles with
the improvements provided for by the
bonds will be the finest on the west
coast. and its commodious nature, its
safety. its oentrality, its accessibility
to all routes of travel and transporta-
tion. by sea and by shore, may be ad-
vertised to the world
ing closely the development of the har-
Dor. As soon as word of the success
of the harbor bonds reaches some OF
the most important seaports of the
world arrangements will be begun look
ing to the use of the harbor In connec-
ton with the great trade route in
which the Panama canal will be an
important factor, that which is con-
cerned with the orient, the Hawaiian
islands and the West Indies.
one of the greatest zones of trade in
the civilized world will be that in
which the scope of operations embraces
Glasgow, Liverpool, New York, the
West Indies, Panama, GREATER LOS
ANGELES and the Pacific islands; and
doubtless the route will finally be ex-
tended until via Suez and Panama
great traders are constantly circum-
navigating the globe. Think, then, of
| the COLOSSAL nature of the interests
involved in the SUCCESS OF LOS AN
GEI.ES' $4,000 900 harbor bonds election,
and VOTE THE BONDS.
But there is another picture equally
fascinating to all who enjoy the thrill
of BUILDING UP NEW COUNTRIES.
| And any man who has not the CON
| STRUCTIVE forces strongly developed
in him has no business in Greater Los
Angeles.
BY issuance and sale Of $3,50O,0OC
aqueduct power bonds, the industria
and manufacturing interests of Greater
Los Angeles will be established and
production of salable products entered
into on such a large scale that wltf
the aid of the great harbor with lt'
plentiful competitive steamship service
to bring raw materials and distribute
goods, Greater Los Angeles will be-
come the commercial and manufacture
ing metropolis of the west.
And the climate will be every bit as
good; the sun will shine just as bright
lv; the breezes will blow just as zephyr
ishly; the skies will be just as blue;
heavens great ozone factory will be
lust as busy and work will be plentiful
wages will be good, and prosperity will
be abundant and general
VILLAGE OR CITY,"
With uninterrupted good government
Greater Los Angeles will be the mer-
camille, manufacturing. maritime, in
dustrial, social, educational, financial
capital and METROPOLIS of the western
states and of the American Union.

Col. Astor Spent $25,OOO for One
Junket in Celebration of His Divorce
tchicago Record Herald)


TH Astor evening was made
matter of seeming simplicity.
Il There were no famboyant decor
atoms. nothing but 14O dozen roses and
a few incidental palms and ferns. Sim
plicity also ruled in the matter or
fayors and the fact that they cost
5000 and the entire evenings pleas
ure probably cost more than $zo'Voo'
was a mere incident.
The generous hospitality extended by
Colonel Astor on the night before ms
divorce extended even to the coachmen,
the footmen and the chauffeurs, ana
each was provided with ticket calling
for a 5O-cent luncheon from wagons
that remained outside the house from
midnight until o'clock in the morning.
1t was really an evenings entertain. .
ment divided into five parts. FIRST
came the dinner. From the conclusion
of the dinner until a half hour after
midnight there was dancing. Then
more than one-half of the colonefs
guests rushed to the calico ball at
Sherrys, where they let their presence
he known and then rushed back to the
Astor mansion. Next came supper,
and as a climax the cotillion led by
Harry Lehr and Mrs. M. Orme wilson
There were lou guests OHuoi tliu
old regime the two Astor houses, with
a connection of one door between them,
have often greeted more than 6OO
guests. but $50 appears to be the new
number There was much speculation
among those present as to when MRS.
Astor will give her first entertainment
hut there was no dispute that Colonel
Astor made most delightful host, and
complications were cheerfully con-
signed to the future.
The union of the two Astor houses
has been accomplished by tearing down
the wall between the two and con
verting the intervening space into
magnificent hallway with an immense
fireplace in the middle facing visitors
as they arrive. In this great hallway
Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-12


nine large round tables were set this
evening for the dinner. -
n was not until / o'clock IN tne
morning that the cotillion Degah anu
the favors appeared. The most costly
of these were the French parasols pre-
sented to the women. They had peeh
made TO order and we're hand-carVed
unon the finest of woods, with long
handles and Of silk of every color.
Guests valued the parasols at not less
than $50 each.
Roth the men and women were pro-
vided with pompadour ribbon scarls
and sashes fringed with gold ana sll
yer, and when they were wound ABOUT
the shoulders of the dancers the oall-
room became a Kaleidoscope OF color
at SIS per color Brass bells were one
of the favors given the men, and they
were kept ringing merrily so at times
the orchestra had difficulty letting IL
be known it was still at work. Ihe
boutonnieres given the men were per-
fumed in a manner to put nature TO
the test to keep even.
The directoire mirrors that were
among the favors for the ladies were
two feet in length. the handles of satin
wood and with seventy-flve of them
flashing back the lights of the ball
room from all angles they provided an
effect of dazzling brilliancy
If there were men present who never
smoke a pipe they must have been
tempted by the splendid combination
of briar. gold and amber presented to
them, with gold match boxes and
gilt fiashlight to complete the outfit.
Those who insist upon nothing but
cigars were delighted with a novel gilt
cigar lighter.
Favors given the women dancers of
painted Louis XIV fans we're kept
fluttering at SIS per f,utter. Louis XVI
opera bags were provided in which the
fan could be conveniently kept when
not in use.
The affair is believed by society to
mark the beginning of new era of
entertaining by Colonel Astor.

ROOSEVELT, INSURGENT

n UR morning Republican contem-
porary says: There is not more
" regular Republican in the coun-
try than Theodore Roosevelt. He has
never been an insurgent He has al
ways been a good fighter, but has never
been known to be the odd man on the
jury"
This statement conveys a meaning
opposed to that derived from eX-
periences and observations Of men who
have watched Colonel Roosevelts S
career, especially those who are ia
miliar with political conditions in the
great eastern city and state of which
he is the favorite son.
Colonel Roosevelt's entire political
life has illustrated insurgency and the
doctrine of free will in politics, as op-
posed to bossism and program.
Colonel Roosevelt from the first day
of his public career advocated elimina
ton of machine politics from any con-
nection with the selection of public
officeholders. A civil service commits
sioner TO begin with-and during
Democratic administratiOn--he has
never ceased TO be a civil service re-
former. If Americanism, independence
and a spirit which refuses to truckle
to machine domination or to acknowl-
edge the supremacy of any political
pope be insurgency, Theodore Roose-
Welt Is an insurgent,
1t is a curious fact that at the out
set of his political career Roosevelt
was most viciously attacked by Re
publican machine organs in New York
for refusing sturdily to be, with re-
spect to the Republican machine, the
obedient soldier the Los Angeles
machine Republican paper says he is!
The Platt Republicans of New York
called Roosevelt an insurgent, and In
wild alarm sought to read him out OF
the ranks. but failed. They sought to
fasten on him the name "MugWump,'
but failed. They tried to accuse him
Of being a. "kid-glove" retormer, put
failed, miserably. at was to laugh.
Mr.. Roosevelt, by conquering the Re
publican machine and forcing it to
accept him with his insurgency his
reforms, his contempt for party tradl-
tion, his broad-minded Americanism'
saved the Republican party from dis
astrous defeat, and it owes its pros
perity today to its reconstruction on
the lines Of Roosevelt insurgency. That
prosperity is being imperiled by the
reactionaries To try to persuade the
public Roosevelt is q regular or ma
chine Republican and is out of SYM
pathy with the insurgents will not
prevent machine Republican disaster.

WHY DOGS CHASE

A New York scientist writes a mag

chickens, railway trains and children?
These are not all run by gasoline. A

AS TO SALARIES

The only discordant note in the gen
eral voice of approval of the Balfour
plan to reward John Burns, the Labor
ite leader in parliament, with an in
crease from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
comes from the Labor party. British
workingmen seem to think that when
a man gets more than $4,000 year
he ceases to be one of them. But look
at Mayor Mccarthy of San Francisco.
No one knows how much he is getting.
