NEED OF MORE
LITERARY CLUBS.
Their Economic Value Shown-The Old
Time Debating Club Was the
Life Of the Community.

We are pleased to know that the
literary spirit is still alive among our
people In the large cities. 1t is a true
sign OF progress along the right line,
and 1t ought to be encouraged and
made to become prime factor in the
intellectual life of our young people
who may or may not be in school.
Time was when the debating club
was the backbone OF the intellectual
life OF the community and our people
took pride In supporting those who
made It possible for such an insutu-
tion to exist. for such the old time
debating clubs were. The new liter
ary society, lyceum or forum of the
present time would do well TO go
back to the discussion OF some Of the
themes OF the old time debating club.
They would find In them much food
for thought and sober reflection.
In Washington, Boston. Richmond,
Va, Chicago. st Louis, New York
and other leading cities there are
literary societies among us which are
doing an educational work which
could not be done with as little ex-
pense II conducted along other lines.
We would like TO see in every com
munity literary organization for the
diffusion OF knowledge. the discus
sion OF questions OF the day ~ they
relate TO Us as race and also TO the
body polite.

the higher and nobler things OF life.

The first social season OF the Taft ad-
Tninistration has come to an end-just
come to an end. however, for the season
no longer begins with New Years and
ends with Lent, but has its commence

There is generally much speculation az
to what the social department of a new
administration will be Ike; whether the
new FIRST lady" will be approachable
and responsive or distant and reserved
whether she viii entertain much or little
and who will form the court circle;
whether she viii follow IN the footsteps
Of her predecessor and maintain the old
traditions or whether she VIII mark out
her own way and ignore them.
Curiosity as 10 Mrs. Taft's course was
general. The wife OF the new President
had been long in the public eye as a
member OF President Roosevelts official
family and everybody knew that she had
definite plans and ideas anent social at
fairs. so nobody was surprised when she
set about making changes IN the White
House menage and personnel as soon as
she entered its doors, and everybody, in

these changes, and It is pleasant to re-
cord that the first season OF the Taft ad-
ministration was a distinct social cue
cess, which should be some compensation
to the President for the hammerings he
has received on all sides and an offset TO
the political difficulties that have har-
assed him.

One OF the needed and most acceptable
changes Mrs. Taft made was the aboI-

OF the White House. which in the old
days, and before the White House was
made over In the Roosevelt administra-
ton, was used alike by the public sight

Presidents family. and the substitution
OF footmen in appropriate liveries.
This change had been suggested 10 and
contemplated by several OF Mrs. Taft's
predecessors but she was the first 10

when the change was made everybody
wondered why 1t had never been done
before. There was nothing that so struck

HIGH COST OF LIVING IS
CHARGED TO LIVING HIGH
Merchants Exchange Secretary
Says World Can Afford Prices

Il am an optimist. 1 think we can
better afford to pay higher prices for
everything now than those could the
low prices twenty years ago. said j.
f. Paulding, secretary of the Mer-
chants exchange, yesterday noon, at
the Federation club luncheon.
1.-The high cost of living" said Mr..
PaulGing, is chargeable largely 10 the
cost of living hign. 1t is in the air
that we are all to blame for the hlgh
prices of living. The corporations are
responsible to d large extent, and yet
not too much can be laid to their doors.
The extreme low prices of products
twenty years ago forced corresponding
low prices of farm lands and wages.
The natural consequence is that the
increased value of land raises the cost
of living the same as higher rants are
demanded by the increase in the price
Of lots and houses.
I'VE are now paying the highest
prices for commodities known in the
history of the United States, but when
there is money to meet these prices,
it is better than twenty years ago,
when they were much lower and not
sufficient money to pay for them by
the consumers.
"When we see the conditions in Eu-
rope with the wages of $S a week and
other low status of things, we ought to
thank our stars that we live here with
our high prices for everybody and with
the money in circulation to pay the
bills"

MAY |ND|CT ALTORRE'S
MOTHER FOR PERJURY
Mrs. White on Stand for Defense
in Case of Accused Post
office Clerk

Indictments for perjury directed
against Mrs. ]. White, mother of Or
lando Altorre, and Charles Evrist, a
close friend of Altorre, may be the Sc
quence of proceedings in the United
States district court yesterday. Al
torre is charged with having committed
perjury to secure a civil service posi-
ton in the postal service. The testi-
mony given by his mother and friend
yesterday is to be investigated and also
may become the basis of perjury
charges.
From the time that court opened
yesterday the case took a lively turn.
Mrs. White was put on the stand by
the attorneys for the defense. Assist
ant United States Attorney Horton eX-
amined the witness. She testified that
without being divorced from the de-
fendants father she married White.
ALTORRE ANGERED
When Attorney Horton asked Mrs.
White how many months elapsed from
the time of her marriage to Altorre
until the birth of the defendant the
accused man created scene by aTis-
ing quickly and in a dramatic man
ner exclaiming: "I don't want AttOr-
ney Horton to question my mother in
this way, for it makes my blood boil
to hear those questions put to her. |
would rather plead guilty thousand
times than have her humiliated.
The court ordered him to be seated
and then the defendants attorney en-
tered a strenuous objection to the mode
of cross examination. Upon being told
to answer the question Mrs. White
testified that she was welded during
the month of April. 1886, and that AL
torre was orn in the July following.
Mrs. White also testified that her
son was in California during the time
that several witnesses testified he was
in the east.
Charles Evrist, a cement tester, said
bv the prosecution to be a close friend
of Altorre testified that he was pres
emf in Notary Gluch's office an hour
on July II, 1907, with Altorre when he
presented the document to the notary.
Evrist further testified that the no.
tary did not administer any oath TO
Altorre.
called to the stand and after inform
ing the court and jury that record
was kept of each trip made by postal
employees during working hours, he tes-
tified that his record showed that on
.Tulv 7. 1907, the day upon which the
prosecution charges Altorre with haV-
ing perjured himself by swearing talse-
ly before Notary Gluch, witness EV-
rist and Altorre were not together TOT
more than seven minutes. Altorre and
Evrist were working in a substation
on that date and the prosecution
showed that Evrist could not have
heen in Notary Gluch's office at the
time he testified to being there.
Attorney f. Stewart will open the
argument for the government this
morning and will be followed by At
torneys Thompson and Johnson OF the
defense. Attorney Horton Will close
the argument for the government.

TEACHERS ARRANGE SONGS

Children always love to have a
show" and whether it be in the attic
or the barn, whether admission be by
payment of ten pins or by presenting
a green paper ticket at the door, the
childish enjoyment in the spectacle, and
particularly in participation in TINS
spectacle. is unbounded.
Teachers of the Mckinley Avenue
school have played upon this spirit of
childhood and have arranged a series of
tableauX, songs, marches. drills and
dialogue which depicts in splendid
fashion the history of Los Angeles from
its time of saVagery and Indians to the
Cosmopolitanism of the present day.
The writing and arranging of this
play mas been done entirely by the
teachers of the school, all of whom
have been interested in arranging the
scenes and drilling the children in their
parts. Material WAS gathered from
various sources. Historical works, re
liable fiction and many "reminiscences of
Spanish early settlers have been util-
lied in the work. The entire production
is clear and will leave a fixed i'm
preston upon the minds of every child
in that school of the series of events
which led to the building up of the
beautiful city they know.
MANY SONGS
Many songs were introduced, ana Jn6
childish voices rang out clear and true
in choruses and groups of four and six
There were fancy dances in which
graceful girls posed and marched in
proud consciousness of their pretty
fanciful costumes, while boys of ali
ages figured in the proceedings as
monks, cowboys, Indians shepherds,
sailors and soldiers, both Spanish and
American.

makeup of Indian maids Spanish
dancers, with their bright colors, scarfs

a pretty picture on the stage, and
shepherdesses with crooks and fetching
little hats hounced their tucked up
frocks through a graceful dance.
The Fluffy Rufhes girls, Japanese
damsels and many others all fitted into
the picture with easy grace, and about
1870 boys and girls participated in the
matinee performance yesterday.
The affair was arranged under the
auspices of the Mckinley Avenue
Parent Teachers association for the
benefit of the piano fund. Two more
performances will be given on Thurs

mand for tickets already threatens to
make a third performance necessary.
