REGISTRATION

~ VERY citizen who is qualified tc
II vote should be registered To
~ neglect the duty of registration
is to neglect the duty of a citizen.
Orators may talk, candidates may is
sue statements, newspapers may pub
lish editorials, but the man who
makes the election is the voter. On
his verdict depends the government of
city, county, state and nation.
A citizen who fails to register and
loses his vote has little right to com
plain if the election results don't go
to suit him." He has placed on his
neighbor the responsibility of voting
for him, and should not be so incon-
sistent as to quarrel with the manner
in which his neighbor voted.
Good government has been estab-
lished in Greater Los Angeles, and it
chine or gang government is unthink-
able and will be impossible if citi-
zens continue to do their duty.
And the fight against corporation
influences and evil government must
be carried into the county and the
state. No patriotic citizen must rest
content until the iniquitous influence
of the Southern Pacific corporation in
every branch of the politics of Cali
form is utterly and forever ENDED.
Government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people is the privilege
of this city, county and state, and
voters by doing their duty, by being
true to themselves, will be true also tc
the city, the county, the state, the ma
tion. 1t is a patriots duty, as well as
his right, to take an active interest in
government and in politics and to reg
lister and vote.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-11

N HE contrast between the small
losses by fire to government
= buildings and the immense losses
led the geological survey to make an
inquiry as to fire losses in the United
States and as to their exact cost to the
people. The results of this inquiry are
presented in the surveys bulletin AIS,
just published, which can be obtained
free by applying to director of the sur
vey at Washington. The report is en-
titled "The Fire Tax and Waste of
Structural Materials in the United
States" and was prepared by H. M.
Wilson and j. l.. Cochrane of the sur
yey. The inquiry covered not only the
value of the property destroyed by fire,
but also the cost of maintaining fire
departments, the amount of insurance
premiums paid less the amounts re-
turned, the cost of protective agencies,
the additional cost of water supplies
and other elements of the fire loss, says
the San Francisco Journal of Com
merce.
The investigation disclosed the fact
that the total cost of fires in the
United States in 1907, excluding that
of forest fires and the marine losses,
but including excess cost of fire pro-
lection due to bad construction and
excess premiums over insurance paid,
amounted to over $456, 4S5, 900, tax on
the people exceeding the total value of
the gold, silver, copper and petroleum
produced in the United States in that

PHOTOGRAPHY

4 WARDS in the chamber Of COM
merce camera contest were dis
"a tributed yesterday. Los Angeles
is the paradise of photographers. In
no other city of the United States or
of the world are such fine photo
graphic establishments as there are
here; in no other part of the country
can the ambitious amateur obtain such
fine results.
This is due not only to the fact that
in the number and variety Of subjects
Los Angeles is absolutely unequaled--
no other metropolitan city affords such
ample choice of ever-changing view
but to the fact the atmosphere is con-
duciVe to good results. The Herald
every week publishes photographs that
represent the best there is in photo
graphic art. And The Hera1d's photo
graphs give a good indication of the
popularization of the art. It's helpful
ness to the people cannot be over
estimated. Every camera user takes q
keen interest In the world and the
people around him. He becomes a
trained observer, and no matter what
line of business may occupy his at
tentlon the increased percentage of his
average of general accuracy will
help it.

utory negligence because the Mexican
brakemen Of his train Systematically
robbed freight cars Cook neither took
part in the robberies nor shared in the
spoils. He had no knowledge of the
thefts, which were accomplished in a
way that would have deceived any one
who had not been posted or who had
not the rare good fortune to be gifted
with divination or second sight.
For the parodoxical reason that he
was not taken into the confidence of
the robbers and therefore could not
have had any way of finding out their
inquity, he has been treated as
particeps criminis to the extent of
contributory negligence.
The state department should inter-
pose in this case without delay, before
1t ripens into a possible cause for
war with Mexico. There can be no
question whatever the unjust treat
ment of this American citizen by Mex
lean officials is endangering the AMIGA
BILE relations which have existed be-
tween the two republics; relations
which have been already strained by
Mexican official indignation against
the American government for permit
ting publication of the magazine arti
cles entitled "Barbarous Mexico"
Mexico may be as highly civilized
as the Mexicans who protested
against the magazine articles claim,
but to seize an innocent American
railroad employe and throw him into
prison because Mexican bandits and
their sneaking Mexican confederates
on his train looted the train is an
exceedingly poor way of proving it.
