SMOKING ON STREET CARS

Editor Herald: The sensible COM
ments of Willoughby Smart, Car Patron
and others in your columns toucning
legislative restrictions as to certain
public accommodations are timely and
point out regulations that are not only
burdensome to all, but are inexcusable
infringements on the natural rights OF
more than one-half of the travelling
nublic. Especially is this true of the
proposed segregation OF the sexes In
the public park, and the smoke in the
car ordinance, and the czarlike ukase
of Councilman Gregory in support OF IT.
There is a deep ethical under current
in this subject of smoking on street
cars which lies far beneath all finan-
cial and other material questions and
which our city solons have evidently
overlooked. and that is the question or
authorizing one person to infringe upon
the rights of another for his own per-
sonal comfort and qualification. Street
cars are public conveyances fer the
convenience and comfort of the travel
ing public who pay the price de-
manded. and each one doing so has pre-
cisely the same right to the enjoyment
of the comfort and convenience as all
the others have.
viii Councilman Gregory please ex-
plain upon what Interpretation Of JUS
tice, reason and common sense he
claims superiority for man who
smokes over a woman who does not?
And upon what basis Of right, justice
or common sense he would relegate her
into the hot, stuffy, poorly ventilated
coop while we lords of creation make
hogs of ourselves in the pure air out
side?
A plain question of individual priv
ileges and equal natural rights is In
volved, and when these are sought to
be abrogated some excuse more in ac-
cord with justice, reason and common
sense must be urged than the mere
qualification of a sensual. useless ap-
petite. In the language of former Gov
ernor Adams: "There is a line of ex-
cess where conservation (and legisla-
tion) becomes lunacy. and I'm not sure
but what we are now in the crazy
belt" J. L. DRYDEN.

PLAYWRIGHT OR PACKER?

Editor Herald: John Wesley de Kay
is an author and playwright he is also
organizer of the Mexican Packing COM
pany. 1t is evidently the packing COM
pany rather than the playwright that
is speaking when Mr.. de Kay seeks
to whitewash the Diaz regime and to
discredit the revolutionists.
He tells US that there is mo class
(of Mexicans) who have legitimate or
real grievance against the govern
ment"; and this directly after assert
ing that S5 to 80 per cent of the Mex
lean people are without money, arms
or resources of any kind" Where in
heavens name do such people as Mr..
de Kay get the ludacity to utter such
fatuously inconsistent talk? And where
do they come by their low estimate Of
public intelligence? A fifth-Grade
school boy would hardly be expected to
perpetrate against himself such a
transparent "give away" It is as
though one should be absurd enough to
declare: "These people are robbed and
oppressed and ground down, but they
are prosperous and well-governed. free
and contented." Try again, Mr.. de
Kay. c. A. WICKS.

PAsAoENAN FOR UNION

Editor Herald. Los Angeles will
have water to serve some three hum
dred square miles of land. Los An
geles must I'D a way to avoid being
forced to ALLEVIATE water before It
reaches here. The most practical way
suggested is to have territory of our
own which shall require all our sdp-
ply. That means consolidation. Pasa-
dena replies, 1--WE would like some of
the Owens river water but consolda-
tion seems like losing our Individual
ity." This last is the point.
If you sacrifice yourself by consoli-
dation don't consolidate. If you will
feel like conquered territory. refuse It
is better to limit your growth even to
your present size, or to what water
you can secure elsewhere than to lose
yourself. While YOU by consolida-
tion would be forced to give up some
of your individual dreams, what would
you gain? Water. Laying water aside,
what?
You would share the life of q large
city, soon to be a great city. The un-
dertakings and achievements of our
common city would be our common
life. A small city cannot initiate and
carry out reform, like our recent state
reform for example, so we'll as a large
city
In the sos there was great struggle
over states rights" Was the state,
or the nation supreme? Some of the
states. jealous of their individuality,
felt they would be sacrificed if the
nation wee supreme.
Now that matter is settled and there

has found a more significant life in
being a part of the whole than 1t could
possibly have realized in being the
whole of a small part. AS a part OF
the whole you of the borough of Pasa-
dena can stimulate and direct the fu-
ture of our city as much as your wis
rom and energy may.
l believe the splendid manifest des-
tiny of this community is one great
city. With this recognized we shall
work out our best life internally. ana
we shall best find and fulfill our re-
lations to our state and nation.

PRUDEs RECEIVE JAR

Editor Herald: I am a consistent
Republican, but fall in with the goo
goo" party, largely, in the matter of
city government. I believe in law,
order and decency in all things, but
legal enactments can be propagated to
such an extent as to become topheavy
and thus fall by their own weight.
We want no intolerant blue laws in
this nor in any other country.
The idea advanced of segregating
the sexes in a park is too ridiculous
and impracticable for serious consd-
Grafton. and could be expected to en-
anate only from the brain of some pru-
dish "old maid" Public parks are for
the benefit OF the people at large, sub
ject, of course. to proper and necessary
regulations. They are not private par
lors under absolute home dominion. If
l were sitting on bench in the park,
near to and conversing with, or not,
an apparently respectable lady, and a
policeman or watchman should inter-
rupt. l would consider it my duty to
resent the insult, by physical force If
necessary, even If l were arrested
and fined accordingly, and any self
respecting man of ordinary grit"
would be inclined to do the same.
The editorial in The Herald this
morning Is a pointed, whitening and
deserved sarcasm on the subject

ers have other things OF vastly more

EXPERIMENT BY lNocuLATIoN

Editor Herald: Not a day goes by
without the papers containing articles
giving some doctors views as to why
this. that or TIE other thing is a medi-
cal fact. The surgeon general of the
United States comes forward, after
having had few experiments made
in line with his pet theories, and rec
ommends that incubation against ty-
phoid be made compulsory in the
army. Some ~ig NJ. d. in Arizona
states that 20 per cent of the children
in that state suffer from eye strain.
Just as the good parents of Arizona
are groaning over this deplorable con-
dition, and making preparations to in
vest in glasses by the wholesale, an
other M. D. In Denver makes the
startling statement that in Colorado
SO per cent of the children suffer from
eye troubles. Whereupon the Arizona
people take heart from this compart-
son and instead of putting the dollars
in the oculist's pockets (Which, or
course, a good commission in the NJ
D.'s) reconsider the matter and de-
eide to let we'll enough alone.
Now we hear from Prof. Magee that
the physical standard at the Univer-
sity of California is low and that 90
per cent of the students have some
physical deformity. and almost in the
same breath DR.. Olmstead, medical in
spector of the Pasadena schools, al
leges that 33 1-3 per cent of all the
school childrn~ in that city are ply
sically defective
We have had the bubonic plague
scare when there was no bubonic
plague in California. Now 1t looks,
If we let the doctors have their way,
as If we will have pellagra, hook
worm, or infantile paralysis scare,
Just as soon as we allow ourselves to
be frightened into having it, and we
will be anti-toxined and vaccinated
with this and that anti-toxin and virus
until we will be so impregnated with
germs that 1t will be a wise bacillus
that knows its own disease. And yet
we want to give the doctors more
power to experiment on our children
and on ourselves by letting them for
purely selfish reasons, influence our
congressman to pass a bill creating a
national department of public health

ATTACKS SOME FAILURES

Editor Herald; In spite of the
caustic character Of "Val stones"
rec cent letter on Making a Living" 1
am glad to see his ideas in print
again 1 thought he had left the Let
ter Box While I agree with him
about the business failures in Los
Angeles he must recognize there Is
another side to the question, viz. that
business men may go bankrupt on
purpose, pay their debts on the basis
of 80 or 40 cents on the dollar or even
lower start again under a new firm
name and have a brighter, better busi-
ness than ever before.
l know of q man going "broke" in
such a way several times in Philadel-
phia until the slow-minded Philadel-
phians got onto his scheme and ne
went to New York City. He made
easy money each time.
Now, in England I do not believe a
bankruptcy law eXis 8 by which debt
ors can thus make money through
their creditors.
Again, Val Stone, you who observe
things under your very nose. how
much of swinding operations are
brought off In Los Angeles; and how
much Is real, genuine business fail
ure? How much is fake" and how
much is honest goods? Facts and fig
ures are what 1 want, not mere as
sertions, so I nope you'll oblige yours
truly. j. A. M.

JAPANESE NOT INsULTED

Editor Herald: AS a Pasadena sub
scriber to The Herald. 1 must protest
a letter that appeared in yesterdays
Letter Box. Why are the Los Angeles
papers so quiet about the great big
fairy tale that appeared In the Times
few days ago? The Pasadena News
published a full denial of any truth at
all in the alleged insult the japanese
officers received In Pasadena. Mayor
Farley, Walter Raymond, Mr.. Linnard,
the Pasadena board of trade, and even
the Japanese admiral himself, signed
their names to statements expressing
extreme surprise at what appeared III
the Times, and denying it absolutely
Mr.. Linnard said that as to the ball he
planned no invitations were sent out to
ANYBODY, as the Japanese officers had
a previous engagement for that even
ing. So of course no girl could refuse
to attend when she was not invited
The same in regard to the at home on
board the Japanese ship. 1T was not
a hall" SAYS the admiral land out or
thirty Pasadena people invited | think
most of them were there" The whole
story was a lie, pure and simple, and
has cost the Times a good many trlends
In Pasadena; and 1t seems to me that
they need all the friends they can get.
While / regretted to the fullest extent
the accident that befell the Times, ana
have no patience whatever with Vlo-
lence Of any kind, yet l was not much
surprised. for the Times has always
been the foe of the laboring classes, and
a great many laborers are ignorant ana
capable Of doing terrible things in the
spirit of revenge, especially foreigners.
