PRINCIPAL COUNTY

~ TNCE January /, three times as
many voters have been registered

Francisco county. This viii help en-
phasize the fact Los Angeles county
occupies. among counties, a position
like that which Greater Los Angeles
will hold eventually among cities. 1t
leads the state The cherished eastern
belief san Francisco county is the
chief center of population in Califor-
mia is a delusion.
From every point of view, popula-
tion. registration and valuation, Los
Angeles county is by far the most inn
portant in the state, and its indus
trialism and the extent of its resources
will be demonstrated fully upon the
completion Of the Panama canal
Thanks to an unpatriotic railroad pol
icy, the producers Of our great coun-
ty have been laboring at a disad-
vantage. 1t has been common say
ing among those engaged in industrial
enterprises, I'VE don't know whether
we are. building this up for ourselves
or for the railroad"
In spite of the handicap, Industrial
ism has made wonderful progress in
Los Angeles county, which in wealth
as well as population is the most i'm
portant in California.

bad charity should be needed in a

which help the poor. These institu-

necessary work Without them the sur
fering and want among the helpless
moor would be increas sed; and there
would be a great addition to the sum
of human misery. Let us all be tag
ged for the cause of neighborliness;
and don't let us growl even if we are
tagged EARLY AND OFTEN. Every

and of duty to be tagged at least
once.

ENGLISH TORIES

A LEADING Tory organ Of the
n United Kingdom brings out in
"A clear relief the fact the obstruc-
tionists in the kingdom and the en-
pire are confined to a small circle in
one country. That country is Eng
land but England is not the United
Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is
not the British empire. London is the
center of a circle within numerous cir
cles. and each circle outside of the
middle circle becomes more radical,
until the outside ring is reached in
New Zealand, which politically is more
advanced" than the American re-
public.
In the question of the house of lords,
the divisions of the United Kingdom
are as heartily and as hatingly at odds
as ever they were when the border
was garrisoned. An English reviewer
says of the opponents of the lords;
"There are elements in that hostile
host that must be regarded seriously,
namely, the Scotch, whose objections
to an hereditary upper house are un-
likely to be ever removed. 1t is an
hereditary objection to an hereditary
principle 1t is born in their bone and
their blood and their flesh. Mr.. Glad
stone told me that at the time of the
reform bill he passed through Dundee,
Scotland, and saw placards which made
his blood run cold. One of them was:
ITO hell with the bloody tyrants.
VERY MUCH THE SAME SORT OF
LANGUAGE IS USED NOW. From
Scotland there is an objection that
cannot be modified or broken down
as regards the hereditary constitution
of the house of lords"
Then why try to modify it, or break
it down? Isu't it curious to see how
after all their memorable experiences
with the American colonies and other
independently thinking countries
small group of Englishmen still per
sist in clinging to tradition, in spite
of the open hostility of the sister ma
tions OF the Union and Of all the
colonies?

The TheaterS

What is said to have been the heaviest ad-
vance sale that has ever been known at the
Mason opera house that which opened
yesterday for the engagement of Maude Adams
in what Every Woman Knows next Tues
day. Early In the morning the line began
forming at the theater. Messengers and hotel
porters headed it, and by o'clock the line
was fully block long For some time the
line continued to grow. The demand was
continued throughout the day, the line never
breaking until nghtfal.
The first of the Allan return engagements
viii take place this afternoon at the Audi
trium. Miss Allan returned to the city yes
terday after most successful appearance in
San Diego, where she appeared to a capacity
house.. Saturday morning Miss Allan will sell
tags at the annual tag day festival.
Oliver Morosco has secured for the Burbank
theater James Medill Mccormicks successful
drama of social contrasts. "A Little Brother
Of the Rich"
James X. Hackett will give, as his opening
bill at the Majestic, Monsieur Beaucaire' .
Booth Tarkington's fine romantic play, in
which Richard Mansfield scored one of his
biggest hits. Hackett will follow Kob and
Dill at the Majestic, opening Sunday, June
3. Meanwhile Kolb and Dill are polishing
up the details of THE Merry Widow and the
Devil" which will be seen for the first time
here Sunday night.
The musical stock company put on at
the New Empire theater seems to be making
good with the public, "A Warm Reception, -
the bill this week, is of character which is
highly appreciated by those who love good
music, a natty chorus and a hearty laugh.

CENSUS RESULTS

NENSUS results are fairly represent
ative. The population of Los An
~ geles is approximately" 300 900.
An accurate count would add thou
sands to this total. Taking the census
has been a work of great difficulty in
Los Angeles. There have been more
than 220 enumerators in the city and
125 in the county; and owing to the
great distances that had to be trav-
ersed, there were bitches in the work
unless the enumerators were aided by
circumstances.
When circumstances were against
them, and they were hampered by ig-
norance, stupid opposition or reluct-
ance, or when they had to cover the
same ground twice or thrice in the
effort to get individuals or families
missed on a first visit, it was practical
ly impossible to avoid losing precious
time-and population.
The work was also hampered by the
extraordinary and altogether unreason-
able meagerness of the appropriation.
Washington based it's apportionment of
census expenses for city and county on
the last census, when Los Angeles was
only one-third its present size. And so
Los Angeles has had to suffer from
distant official inability to grasp the
fact that when our boosters publish
assertions concerning the unprecedent-
ed growth of Greater Los Angeles they
are telling the truth, and are not mere
! ly advertising.
The growth is phenomenal, and will
continue to be phenomenal. owens
river water, industrial power, a mag
nificent harbor and the completion of
the Panama canal by the time of the
taking of the next census will have
wrought the most wonderful changes
in the history of the west, and even If
in the next decade the population is
only trebled, Greater Los Angeles, the
metropolis of the Pacific coast will be
city of million Inhabitants.

AS TO GOVERNMENT
STEAMSHIPS

n NE of the strongest arguments in
favor of the establishment of a
" government steamship line on the
Pacific coast is that advanced by w.
+. Meers, the representative of Seattle
and Tacoma at the house committee
hearing on interstate commerce. Read
ers of The Herald are familiar with it,
and it is commonsensible and irrefut-
able. Government steamships would be
more useful than the Interstate COM
merce commission in the maintenance
of reasonable transcontinental rates.
Mr.. Meers correctly said: "The great
est regulator of railroad rates that this
a government-owned line of steamships
plying between Pacific coast ports and
the western terminus of the Panama
railroad, AND LATER THROUGH
THE PANAMA CANAL IN CONNEC-
TION WITH THE GOVERNMENT
STEAMSHIP LINE NOW IN OPERA
TION ON THE ATLANTIC"
Efficient honest competition is the
best regulation. The governmental
steamship line would be beyond reach
of the Southern Pacific road, which
owns more than 80 per cent of the
stock of the Pacific Mail.
With an Independent steamship line,
beyond reach of the interests that have
tried to monopolize the transportation
business of California and the west
and to make fortunes out of the geo.
trialism would be encouraged, and cap
tai and labor. united in the gigantic
task nf developing the resources Of the
Pacific slope, would get a square deal

CAR TRANSFERS

n OMPLAINTS are being made of the
1 inconvenience to which members
- of the public are subjected by
reason of lack of a common under
standing among car conductors as to
the use of transfers. Most car con-
ductors are obliging and helpful to
passengers. But there are some who
have adopted their own reading of the
rules regarding transfers. When the
time limit regulating the use of the
transfer has expired they refuse to
take it, even when the delay has been
caused by the fact car is late, and
the passenger with the transfer has
not been taking a base advantage Of
the change of cars to do a little shop
ping. but has been meekly and pa
tiently standing on the sidewalk, wait
ing, waiting, waiting.
Moreover, in the acceptance or re-
lection of transfers some conductors
a case reported the other day by an
irate woman, who had been travelling
with friend, the conductor accepted
one woman's transfer and rejected the
others. The two women had been to-
gether and had changed cars together.
The second car was overcroWded moth
ing unusuaD, and the friends were
separated. One used her transfer, and
it was accepted without question or
remark. The other was brusquely told
her transfer was mo good and she
would have to pay her fare or get out
and walk. Making all due allowance
for the long hours, the hard work and
the many trials and tribulations of
conductors, it is hard to find a reason
able excuse for such remarkable in
consistency.
