Brilliant, dashing, winged thing
Moving there across the sky.
What new message do you bring
Unto mankind ass you fly?
Swift you cleaye the vibrant air.
Now you fly and now you float;
Life itself you seem TO share
Are you bird are you boat?
What new era do you bring
Speeding to us through the years?
Hark! your motor seems to sing
With the music of the spheres!
Shall mad hosts who go to war
Look to you for deadly skill?
VIII you only sing and soar
So that men may MAIN and kill?
Rather may you skim the seas
And go whirring near and far
Fly to yonder Pleades.
Visit Noon and Evening Star.
Watt young lovers through the air,
Ply them straight to Heavens own door
Ride on sunbeams bright and fair.
Chase yon cloudlets at your fore
Go where gods in laughter Sit
Take us where life is but kind
Some new Eden for to find
Tiny alrship. light and strong
Lifting upward to the sky.
Life a joyous. rising song,
You shall teach our souls to fIyl

OUR BIGGEST NEED

N PEAKING before the Rotary club
the other day on Freight Rates
~ as they Affect Los Angeles Mr..
F. p. Gregson. traffic manager of the
Associated Jobbers, drew attention to
matters of great Importance to Los
Angeles business interests, principally
the ithdrawal, through recent rate
deci 5ions, of advantages heretofore en-
joyed by terminal points on the coast.
The anticipated bad effects Of the de-
cisions will be largely if not wholly
overcome by the Panama canal, but
for the five years intervening this
city's trade will seriously suffer unless
some counteracting agency is set at
work. Mr.. Gregson suggests as such
an agency more manufactures, and he
puts his finger on an obviously impor-
tant point. Moreover, its relation to
the disposal of aqueduct power is a
thing that should be kept in mind.
The present rate of growth of Los
Angeles is exceeding the wonderful
records of the past. We should not,
however, be blind to the fact that mere
numbers will not make a prosperous
city, and that unless there are means
of employment proportionate to the
inflow the time will come when we will
cry out to be delivered from immigra-
ton, as some large eastern cities are
now doing.
There is limit to the employment
that the soil and mere barter and trade
will give. The number above that limit
is so much of a burden, unless they
happen to be in no need of employ
ment, which is happily the case with
many but not the majority. Creative,
producing manufactures
alone will supply the need. They will
come in time. Oil as a cheap fuel, to-
gether with the consuming power Of a
big population, will bring them. But
we should not wait especially when we
have at hand magic lodestone to
draw them.
That lodestone is the power we shall
have in the Owens river electricity. 1t
will be produced at wonderfully low
cost. With it we can hold out induce
ments to eastern manufacturers either
to move here or establish branch plants
here that will be irresistible. Few cities
in the world could match our offer.
Swift results will follow, and a pros
perlty greater than the most hopeful
predict.
No arrangement for the disposal of
that power should be considered that
will deprive the city of an unlimited
quantity to dispose of to men who will
come here and lay under our present
prosperity the solid rock of successful
manufactures.

California and Louisiana

The great fight that is being waged
between San Francisco and New Or
leans for the honor of celebrating the
completion of the Panama canal is at
tracing the attention of the entire
country. The fight is no longer a con-
test between the two cities, but between
California and Louisiana, the legisla-
lures Of which have each authorized
a state tax to raise funds in aid of the
proposed international exposition.
To the unprejudiced observer it is
difficult to see wherein New Orleans
has any legitimate claim to recognition
as the logical point for the exposition,
aside from the mere fact that it is To-
ctaed nearer to the center Of popula-
ton.
According to the report OF the ma
tional monetary commission on April
2S, 1909, the population of California
was 1.732,000 and that of Louisiana
1,642,000, while in the amount of saw
ings deposits California ranked fourth
among the states of the Union and
Louisiana twenty-fourth, the exact fig
ures being as follows:

The most notable article in McClure's
is Working Girls Budgets" by Sue
Ainslee Clark and Edith Wyatt, based
upon information obtained through an
investigation conducted by the Ma
tlonal Consumers league, and covering
the earnings Of working girls-wages,
overtime work, loss from slack seasons,
their expenditure for shelter, food,
clothing, ETC., down to the last penny
of their earnings, and their uncertain
struggle to preserve health and vital
ity.
Together these magazines supply a
liberal education in the great evolution
that is going on. They will broaden
your sympathies and at the same time
lessen your patience with privilege
seekers. They will show why it is to
your own interest to put your hand to
the wheel.
1t is better, of course to read them
all, but if you can't, pick out some and
inform yourself. And you will be bet-
ter friends of ours for pointing you to
some very entertaining reading.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-17

Seven volumes, comprising 4500 type
written folio pages and containing
more than one and three-quarter mil
lion words, have been filed with tne
supreme court of Missouri to set forth
the alleged errors in the trial OF Dr.
B. Clark Hyde, says the Kansas CITY
Times.
If it is necessary to justice that this
sort of thing should be done, then no
poor man accused of crime could get
Justice, because it costs many thou-
sands of dollars to 'get up such an
abstract of record-and the defendant
has to pay for It, -,
If it is not necessary to justice, tnen
what is the excuse for it?
AS long as it is permitted to clog
the work of courts by such procedure
as the record in this case is evidence
of, lawyers will feel obliged to do IL
to be faithful to their clients. But II
that sort of procedure is the best that
LAWYERS have been able to devise, then
bar associations had better go out OF
business as specialists in the judicial
administration of the law.
What is the use of having trial
courts if everything the judge pre-
siding at the trial says or does can
be objected and excepted to as IN
competent, irrelevant and immaterial,'
or as "prejudicial to the rights OF the
defendant" and therefore supJect
with all it's accompanying circum-
stances) to review by appellate judges?
A Judge cannot do justice to even HIM
self If, instead of being an arbiter be-
tween society and an accused man,
he must be an aroiter merely between
contentious lawyers wrangling over
technicalities Of practice.

PROGRESSIVE ARIZONA

NN HE Arizona constitutional conven-
ton is proceeding with its duties
Il in way that inspires confidence
in the outcome. All the signs thus
far seen promise that the embryo
state will write into its fundamental
law the most advanced and progress
sive ideas shown to be worthy by test
in other communities.
One earnest 'of the spirit controlling
the convention is the voluntary act of
President Hunt in eliminating himself
from the rules committee. 1t is only
necessary to point out the abuse of
power by Speaker Cannon in the lower
house of congress to show how an ex-
cess Of authority vested in the pre-
siding officer Of any deliberative body
can be used to forward selfish schemes
he may favor or choke off healthy dis
cussion of things he frowns upon.
Another proof of the quality of the
Arizona convention is had in the de-
cision to shut off from the floor all
but members-in other words, to ban
ish all lobbyists, the pernicious foes of
a square deal and agents of special
privilege. Most of the curses with
which our legislation in the states and
at Washington are honeycombed are
the direct product of lobbyists for in
terests of various kinds who are kept
fare" is looked after.
1t is. of course, impossible at Phoe-
nix to prevent insurance, railroad,
brewery and other special privilege
agents from working outside of the
convention, but their banishment from
the body will reduce the dangers from
their sordid and corrupting presence,
and the fact that the convention has
gone thus far is hopeful evidence that
corporations will not have a great deal
to say in the framing of the consti-
tuition.
Inspired by recent elections, un
doubtedly, the people of Arizona seem
to feel no fear that a progressive con-
stitution will operate against them
when it is submitted to the senate at
Washington. Arizona and all that she
and her new fundamental law typify
are going to have some stout cham
pions in the next congress, and the
kind who are congenitally and by as
sociation opposed to reform ideas now
know from recent happenings that it
will be unhealthy for them to make
a ty,c ApiryC In nd
that it's constitution is not safe and
conservative" enough.
Arizona has it in her power not only
to do much for herself but to make
herself a beacon light for other states,
and it is pleasing to see that her dele
gates appreciate both their opportu-
mites and responsibilities.
