HARBOR PROGRESS

Z OS ANGELES harbor is making a
splendid record, which places it
~ among the worlds most active
seaports. The February report of the
deputy collector of customs shows a
marked increase of business. The to-
tai number of vessels that arrived was
1S3. of which 142 were steamships. The
aggregate tonnage was 114,S67. The
vessels carried 4645 seamen, and the
passenger census showed S207 domestic
arrivals, $3.50 departures and % for
eign arrivals. Lumber receipts were
As. .763, 900 feet. 19.OO7, 900 shingles, 6,72l,-
900 laths, 21 O9O redwood ties, 1891 piles
1892 posts, 1853 doors, $500 cross arms.
At Wilmington there arrived IS13,OOO
feet of lumber, $4,000 shakes, $4,000
laths and rs lumber trucks.
The biggest item of domestic export
was crude oil. of which $4,000 barrels
were shipped. Cement exports are
being increased rapidly.
Harbor progress will be recorded in
figures showing constantly increasing

THINKS T. r. BACK FROM ELBA"
MAY ALSO FIND A WATERLOO"

RIVERSIDE, March 5.-[Editor
Herald: While Mr.. Roosevelt is being
lauded as the greatest man in Ameri-
ca, it would be well to look more
closely into the merits of his case. He
does differ a great deal from Mr. Taft,
as, for instance, in their conservation
policies. Mr.. Roosevelt took matters
in his own hands and did as he thought
best for the public welfare, regardless
of a specific law, but as to the wis
dom OF this, read what Washington
said in his farewell address on the
temporary benefits derived from the
"usurpation of power
Mr. Taft, on the other hand, finding
no law to back him, reversed this
policy in regard to conservation In
this, l think, he acted within the linn
its of the constitution, but imme-
diately showed his reactionary ten
dency by not recommending the neces-
sary law, until the matter could not
be hushed up.
Many people are beginning to see that
the country got a lemon when il
took Taft. But who handed out the
lemon? Did not the mighty T. r.
vouch for him as the best man to carry
out my policies and did he not say
that to doubt Taft was equivalent to
an attack on himself? He based this
on the fact that he had been officially
and intimately associated with him
for seven years, and yet this is what
he did to us.
l will challenge anyone to point out
to me one of my policies" for which
Roosevelt was so highly praised, that
Mr.. Bryan was not denounced for ad,
vocating for from six months to
twenty years.
A glaring case of his was the freight
rate regulation, for which, after con-
tending for years, Mr. Bryan came out
very strong in an editorial in his paper
about five weeks before the famous
freight rate message was sent to con-
gress, and was fiercely denounced as
Il malicious agitator, and was ac-
cused of trying TO unsettle business,
that he might make political capital
out of it, When T. r. came out for
regulation along the identical lines,
these same people stood in OPEN
mouthed wonder at the wisdom of that
great man, who had a remedy for every
evil. This is the kind of man we are
asked to restore to office and Mexican
ize our government A few years ago
we were told the two-term precedent
meant two elective terms; now 1t Is
two consecutive terms; but elect
Roosevelt to another term and it will
be known as his third term, and the
precedent once broken can never be
restored.
In conclusion let me say to the

VOTES FOR WOMEN

TT is not improbable that under the
new charter the women of Los
u Angeles will be allowed to vote in
municipal elections. The revision COM
mission is considering the question of
votes for women with seriousness; and
it is undeniable the success of the
plan in other countries where it has
been adopted will have great weight
with those responsible for the prepara-
ton Of a down to date charter.
Municipal votes for women would be
a reform which, believers in it urge,
would contribute a powerful factor to
the betterment of the city. The ex-
perience of our cousins across the At
lantic in the United Kingdom and
across the Pacific in New Zealand has
shown all municipal government be-
comes cleaner. more reliable, more
businesslike, more patriotic and less
political when women are allowed to
vote!

ABOLISH DEATH TRAPS

n nee more Los Angeles Herald is
u under the painful necessity of
~ chronicling a grade crossing acci-
dent within the city limits. Speaking
for an overwhelming majority of our
fellow citizens. we have over and over
again urged the abolition of grade
crossings, pointing out they are q per-
petual menace to this community
while grade crossing accidents consti-
tute a recurrent disgrace to it.
Action must be taken to run rail-
way tracks over or under the public
streets without delay. Why should we
have to waste words in pointing out
the urgent necessity for a reform
which. in the intervals between our re-
monstrances, adds force to our argu-
ments by piling up new instances of
the outrageous barbarity, and constant
peril of the grade crossings of Greater
Los Angeles?

of those who maintain it is more ac-
curately represented by the county
court house than by any uptown

Angeles toward the sea will be very
great, at the same time the recent
selections of sites for the Southwestern

institutions indicated with eXactness
that the growth Of Greater Los Angeles

ably will not be able to survive in

CRIES OUT AGAINST DANGER
OF INTELLECTUAL DESPOTlSM

LOS ANGELES, March 4.-[Editor
Herald: If the subject of charity
is not up for discussion l do not know
what subject is. 1 pick up this morn
ing's paper and read that, as manager
of the new Rockefeller foundation,
John d. Rockefeller, jr., "will in an
other sphere of influence perpetuate
the domination so long maintained in
the world of business by his father"
Let us consider what this actually
means. At the outset it must be
stated frankly that, by the universal
judgment of the age. John d. Rookie
feller is regarded as having gained his
countless millions by dishonest means.
1t is recognized that he has steered
clear of the penitentiary, but that he
has not gained, and could not have
gained, such colossal wealth otherwise
than by taking undue advantage of his
fellows. Which, surely, is phrasing the
statement in diplomatic terms.
The despotic power won thus is now
to be diverted to the creation of anoth
er and infinitely more fatal despotism
Under equitable conditions the indi-
Viduals of whom this nation is COM
posed would develop along natural
lines, each assimilating so much of the
worlds increasing stock of knowledge
as he could properly digest. Thus and
thus alone, can a growth tnat is heal
thy, because natural, be assured.
AS 1t is. the taint of the Rockefeller
millions will cling to them and frus-
trate all attempts at benefcent dis
position. An intellectual autocracy
viii be established. No longer will the
Deople be able to choose according to
their wants. They will be doctored with
doctrines handed down from above;
doctored as the Strassburg goose is

wi cue mission in his Temple audi

self on the subject of a wide open
town. Mr.. Trotter's experience (Which
has been unusually great has con-
ginced him It is idle to expect to gather
grapes of thorns or figs of thistles'
and there is positively no exception to
this law.
To cultivate fine crop of munich
pal thorns and then to try to pick
grapes from them would not show
good sense. There can be no doubt
the improvement of the general NOR
ality of a community will result in
the general improvement of its finan-
cial and business life. A reformed
city in every sense of the word Is a
better city than a wide open city; it
is better for investors, better for bus
mess men, better for everybody.
OF course there is a remarkable
economical aspect of the question which
Is fequently overlooked. OF all forms
of exploitation which disgrace and de-
grade the United states the eXploita-
ton of womanhood is the worst. The
government must deal with this as an
economical as well as a moral question
before the dreadful state of affairs
which Mr. Trotter and others say
exists in the United States is amended.
Necessity for emancipation did not
end with freeing the negro serfs. There
is an ever increasing necessity for the
manumission and emancipation of the
white slaves of North America, and
the womanhood of our nation is, we
believe, TOO QUIET ON THE SUB
JECT OF THE DREADFUL SLAV-
ERY WHICH is DRAGGING MIL
LIONS OF THE GENTLER SEX TO
THE MURKIEST DEPTHS OF RUIN.
II female suffrage will use its power
to emancipate the white slaves and to
end the traffic at the seaports, then
the sooner we stop discussion and pro-
ceed to action by giving women re-
formers the ballot, so that they may
become efficient, effective, aggressive
citizens, the better 1t will be for the
republic.
