END OF TYRANNY

n NE of the most conspicuous fea-

" genuineness and the widespread
character of the revolt against the
conditions imposed upon modern man

king making, czar creating, kaiser ap-
pointing tyranny of the great great
great great grand fathers, the schol-
arship, learning, wit and wisdom of
Europe are in rebellion.
With the exception of Edward VII,
there is not a monarch of Europe who
is not hated, despised, plotted against,
and in some instances, notably that of
the miserable coward and weakling who
is czar Of Russia, terrorized. We have
excepted Edward VII because he is
only a toy monarch, a make believe,

AUTOMOBILING

N o such a degree of nicety of per
fection has the art of automobile
Il racing been advanced that Bar
ney Oldfeld predicts a thirty-second
mile as a usual record on the track
built at Playa del Rey. Automobile
racing is a distinct branch Of motor
ing and should be kept in its own
class. No human being can disap-
prove. and every reasonable man
must approve automobile racing when
conducted on especially built tracks,
with proper precautions. 1t is only
speed recklessness on the road that
is to be condemned when it imperils
the lives of innocent people.
Good, clean automoblling is popular
in Los Angeles, both as a sport and
as a pastime. In the realm of sport
it has provided a decidedly piquant
twentieth century attraction, not less
notable than the chariot racing Of old
Rome, while on the road and for prac-
ticable purposes it is one of the most
mastery economies of modern civil
ization.
Los Angeles is the automobiling me-
tropolis of the west, and at its present
rate of progress ere long win be the
recognized automobile metropolis of
the United States-automobilop
Our roads are excellent, thanks to the
keen general interest that has been
taken in the provision of good high
ways. Our climate makes possible au-
tomobiling all the year round. The
Herald believes in advocating. boost
ing and helping good, clean outdoor
sport of all kinds, and no task is more
acceptable to those connected with
this paper than to chronicle the un-
paraIeled prosperity and constant
progress of automobiling in and near
Greater Los Angeles.
