ADVERTISING THAT PAYS

THAT the censuring voices of the pulpits and
the purists form one of the best advertising
mediums extant proved Monday night,
when perhaps the greatest paid admission throng
in its history crowded the Auditorium to see the
opening performance OF the much-banned Queen
of the Moulin Rouge" There were 2S42 persons
who were able to crowd past the doors and get
seats, while hundreds of others clamored outside
for admission. 1t was throng greater than any
that ever had been drawn there before by the lure
OF grand opera that was costing $4,000 night to
produce or by stars of the music and dramatic
world who had achieved international fame be-
fore their coming.
The crowd came there and it saw nothing more
than has been produced on the stage before.
Behind the footghts there were rows OF
girls that looked just like the merry merry
dancers of other plays with just the same amount
of rouge to hide the lines in the faces OF
women who toll there for a living just the same
other girls do in other walks OF life where they
are not put to the expense OF using paint to earn
a livelihood. These women sang and danced as
lstlessly as they dared and counted it all
days work
There was disrobng scene that carried
lower percentage OF the nude than is usually to be
seen in tableatN at a charity bazaar There was
an Apache dance that already has been seen here
and which did not awaken any emotion beyond
commiseration for the participants.
Unheralded as being naughty, 1t IS play that
would have pleased an average number of people
and passed on its way unnoticed.
Therefore the record-breaking crowd at the
opening cannot be ascribed to anything but pub
lie desire to be shocked, so they made the rush on
the Auditorium the first night in the fear that the
police would Interfere and in the desire to see the
play before it could be expurgated
Manager Behymer said the rush for seats
proved that the Queen of the Moulin Rouge was
the kind of play Los Angeles wanted. He was
blinded by the box office receipts and just far
from the facts as those who protested against the
presentation of the play. They went simply to
measure the degree of the shock and out of curl
osity to the thing that had caused great a
storm.
Whatever harm the play might do already has
been done, and the fact that 5000 struggled for
admission ought to be lesson to those who seek
to purify the stage by telling about its ralties
advance. Instead of the brass band methods of
denunciation. word on the quiet to the authori-
ties to censor the production would have brought
about all the restrictive forces of the law without
preying upon the curiosity of the public so that
the people were fired with the desire to see the
thing that was to be condemned. Every force in
this community should be arrayed on the side of
decency but the friends of propriety should learn
that whisper is often effective than a shout

VOTES WERE NOT FOR SALE

u NE satisfying result of the recent elections
| J is the proof that money welded less power
- than OF course there was a landslide
in some sections, but the results in general show
that the campaign fund eXerted less influence than
ever before. Many time the tide of close cleo
ton has been turned by the use of money, but
sworn returns OF election expenses in the different
states show that the expenditure of cash had very
little to do with the result The Republican ma
tional congressional committee admits that it spent
$74,373 and lost control of the house of representa-
tives. The Democratic body spent only $27771
and turned Republican majority of fortyseven
into a Democratic majority OF sixty.
lin New York state the Democrats expended
S519O37, while the Republicans used $398658 The
Democrats won and in a few close legislative con-
tests the money may have had some effect in
swinging victory to either the Republican or
Democratic side but it had no bearing on the gen.
eral result
Much OF this good effect on the result of cleo
tions may be attributed to laws compelling the
publishing OF campaign expenses and prohibiting
contributions from corporations, but the main fact
and the one that makes most proud, is that the
voters in general have come to think for them
selves and are voting for what they believe will be
to the best interests of the people.
Money is still spent for which no accounting
can be made, but the tendency to use large sums
Unfortunately has been checked

HELP FOR JOHN FOSTER

Editor Herald: John Fosters soul in
darkness cries for light and nourish-
ment and Penseur offers him stone
for food and for light he thinks dark
ness is good enough. If you cannot
see, grope or creep it'll soon be all
over; such is the comfort materialists
have to offer. Eat, drink, sleep and be
merry today, for tomorrow we die"
ought to be enough for the human
animal, the same as the beasts Edi-
son doubts the existence of another
life, but Penseur is quite sure of its
non-existence and therefore satisfied to
be classified with the beasts that per-
ish and walk on all fOurs. Penseur
(thinker) thinks before he acts. He
even reflects nationally on his material
acts. Can animals do that? Now,
since nationality is the distinguishing
feature between man and animal it is
therefore that inner spiritual part
called the soul or inner man which is
spirit, and since it is the dominant or
leading part it is the whole man. If
John Foster will address me with
stamped envelope care of editor in the
form of questions l will help him if

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

n DJUTANT GENERAL J. B. LAUCK is
~ having a war scare all to himself because
there is fund of $4,000 for armories and
he has not seen any dirt fly up to date He justly
declares that this delay keeps down the efficiency
of the National Guard OF the state, but that IS no
excuse for him announcing that the Pacific coast
is at the mercy of any foreign invader
At best the building OF those armorles would
not add more than 1000 men to the states militia
equipment and the militia, like the regular army,
is only supposed to be the nucleus of an army of
defense in time of war;
General Lauck does not need to worry about
any war scares, nor does anybody else. The spirit
of the Minute Men" of 17z5 is Just alive today
as ever. All that the American citizen ever has
required in any crisis has been the need of men
and the call. They would respond today by thou
sands where before only hundreds answered the
rallying cry The reserve force OF the nation is in
its plain citizens who would flock to the standards
to be drilled into soldier form by the men who now
comprise our militia and standing army.
General Laucll can quit his worrying. He can
get soldiers faster than the uniforms can be made
if the need arises

THE PARK COMMISSION REcANTs

THE day is saved. The sexes in the parks are
not to be segregated. Men and women, hus-
bands and wives, brothers and sisters, sWans
and sWeethearts may stroll at will through the
sacred confines Of Central park without being sub
ected to an inquisition at the hands OF the park
policemen or committee on conduct. We note this
in our morning paper:

ADAM SMITH ANSWERED

Editor Herald: Hold on, Adam
Smith: you are making a great blum
der when you admit the principle that
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber should prevail and you argue as
if the postoffice employees were doing
service the same as week days. Now
is it not a fact that we have no de-
livery on Sunday and the little service
there is is performed by one man in
fifty for one solitary hour to hand the
public their private mail who are will
ing to go for it that they may on their
day of leisure get the news from their
dear ones from all over the world?
Now where is the hardship? The post
office is a public servant and there is
no hardship imposed. {. +.

NO GROUNDS FOR FEAR

DRESIDENT E. P RIPLEY of the Santa Fe
railroad is credited with declaring that the
men behind the new movements" in both
political parties are destructionists, and Speaker
Cannon probably would agree with him But both
of them are wrong in the view they take. The real
force back of the insurgents in the Republican
party and the progressives among the Democrats
really is for national hetterment
The verdict of the people at the last election
was for a constructive policy, and all that is needed
is get-together plan for the railways and other
controllers OF national interests with the men who
really want to make laws that will be fair to the
whole nation.
Mr.. Ripley will be able to find more friends Of
real progress in the present congress than in any
that has sat there in years.
