PLUCKY PASADENA

ID nASADENA is world famous for its
annual Tournament of Roses, and
in this fame Los Angeles and
Southern California are sharers. 1t is
therefore misfortune to Los Angeles
and Southern California as well as to
Pasadena when the weather or any
other cause interferes with the tourna-
ment program. Every year many of
the guests who come from the east to
spend the winter in Southern Califor-
mia arrive in time for the tournament
and remain with us until summer.
Pasadena, certain of drawing a
crowd to its unrivaled annual tourna-
ment. makes elaborate preparations for
what at first was simple enough
event; and under modern conditions
postponement or abandonment of tour
nament plans involves not only incon-
venience but actual financial loss.
All citizens of South California SYM
pathize with the beautiful city of the
roses in its plucky determination to
wrest victory from adverse conditions
by resolving to carry out the tourna-
ment plans yesterday. rain or shine
We hope the rare and unusual rec
ord of an interruption Of an impor-
tant South California program by rea-
son of adverse weather will continue
to be rare and unusual and that next
year Pasadena may repeat the annual
floral triumph which has brought well
merited fame to its enterprising cit

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

HALIFORNIA Teachers association
convention declared for the inves-
~ tigation and development of in
dustrial education. 1t will be only a
question of time until there will be
as many industrial and scientific as
there are elementary literary schools
in the United States. For many years
our civilization has adopted the theory
that reading is the key to all knowl-
edge. 1t is a key to knowledge, but
the mechanical geniuses of the world
today have made their own practical
keys and unlocked doors to new knowl-
edge undreamed of by the bookmen.
Another argument in favor of indus
trial education is the intelligent under
standing it gives of conditions which
govern modern society. Many highly
educated people are utterly unaware of
the Industrial origin of the commoner
objects around them. Take the furni-
ture in home and ask member of
a family to describe the Industrial
origin of each article: Probably that
will give you more practical insight
into the necessity for industrial train
ing OF the younger generation than
could anything we could write. The
modern boy or girl who is allowed to
grow up without Industrial education
is heavily handicapped in the compe-
tition of life.

.HERALD's PLoUGHING

u NE of the sayings of Jesus which
ID is particularly applicable to the
New Year is, "No man having
put his hand to the plough and looking
back is fit for the kingdom of God" In
other words, program of reform and
progress having been determined upon
by an individual or a group or COM
munity Of individuals. or by a city,
forward is the word
Los Angeles Herald's classical motto
is in keeping with this sentiment
'Vestlgia Nulla Retrorsum."
Forward must be the motto for the
New Year. OF course, Jesus meant
looking back regretfully-looking back
with sorrow that the furrow had been
begun. It is permissible, we think, to
give perhaps a backward glance to
satisfy ourselves we are ploughing
along right line, in a long straight
furrow.
Los Angeles Herald in its ploughing
has ploughed straight furrow for the
best interests of Greater Los Angeles,
est number of citizens. In drawing our
long, straight furrow we have ploughed
over ridges OF protected vice and
through hollows of official negligence.
We have ploughed through poor land
and through rich land, drawing a long,
straight line.
We plough for better and greater
Los Angeles, a great city. a maritime
city, rich, prosperous and happy, but
free from the taint of vicious politics
and depraved machine operations. We
plough for city of happy homes and
Of well educated school children, re-
ceiving training that win fit them for
American citizenship OF the highest and
noblest type. We plough for American-
ism in the nation, the state and the
city, drawing a long, straight line.
We plough for a better county gov
ernment, better state government, a
better national government. We
plough for Americanism in government,
drawing long, straight line.
We plough for the greatest good of
the greatest number of American cit
liens. We plough for square dealing,
for fair play, for equal opportunities,
equal rights; for the abolition Of privi-
lege. We plough for Americanism in
the daily life of all the people, drawing
a long, straight line.
We plough for prosperity, we plough
for happiness, we plough for righteous
ness, we plough for the faith Of the
fathers and founders of the country,
and we refuse to acknowledge. that jot
or little, article or particle of the
Declaration of Independence or the
constitution has been rescinded or even
suspended. We plough for altrulsm in
the United States, permeating every
part of the national life, public life,
business life and home life. We plough
for the Dreams of the Fathers, the
dreams that MUST come true.
The work of the restoration of Amer
icanism has only been begun. Reas-
sured by past successes, sure of a
successful future for Americanism,
ploughing the long. straight line, Los
Angeles Herald will plough to the end
of the furrow.

$23,000,00O bonds in twenty years, and
at least $1,0OOOOO will be added to the
city's annual income.
The good roads project for which the
$3, 100000 bond issue was voted will be
finished in 1912. The city will secure
park and playground systems along
the new highways, and the population
will be provided with recreation CEN
ters, baths and comfort stations.
In 1912 the Owens river aqueduct will
be completed, and electricity sufficient
for a gigantic system of Industrial en-
terprises will be provided.
Federal steamship lines to Panama
should be in operation by 1914, and a
municipal railroad completed to the
harbor. In 1915 the Panama canal will
be opened, and Southern California
will enter upon a new era of unparal-
leled and unprecedented prosperity, in
which Los Angeles will be sharer to
degree that will make our city the
greatest In the west.
The prophet does not go so far as to

principal city of the United States,
but it is not extravagant to say it
MAY reach that position. And, at any
rate, it will be to the Pacific coast
what New York is to the Atlantic, and,
rivaling New York IN commercialism
and industrialism, will far surpass it
in finer arts and crafts, will be the
chief educational center of the United
States, the literary and publishing
headquarters, the principal western
aviation station, and the foremost city
of the world in the number, comfort
and beauty of its homes and in the
high character, culture, Americanism,
progressiveness and general superb
ority of the people who dwell in them.
Doubtless all of the new year pre-
dictions will be fulfilled, in due course
of time, in the triumphant Los An
geles way.

PROSPERITY

N REAT prosperity is indicated by
~ the year-end reports of every
NJ trade, occupation and enterprise
in Los Angeles from which reports are
oBtainabe There is not the slightest
doubt this city will reap the reward of
its enterprise in voting the Owens river
bonds, effecting consolidation and push
ing forward a great harbor program.
Los Angeles has been the subject of
much national publicity recently be-
cause the attention of thinking men in
every city of the United States has
been attracted by the Los Angeles way
and the invariable success which at
tends it. So uniform is this success It
looks like magic, but it isn't. 1t is only
a demonstration of will power, original
ity, initiative, common sense and grit
The annual report of the Los Angeles
Clearing House association furnishes
excellent and conclusive testimony as
to the efficacy of the Los Angeles way
of doing business. The grand total of
bank elearings for the year was over
half a billion dollars, which indicates
the average of prosperity in this city
is far higher than in any other city in
the world.
In 1909 the increase over 1908 was
more than $169,OOO,0OO, the totals being
for 1909 $672, 2,245.74O and for 1908 $5Os ,12O,-
GA. The total for December, 1903, was
S64, ,463 766, over $2,OO0,OOO more than the
November figures and the biggest
monthly total for the year. 1t exceed
ed the total for December. 1908, by
nearly $14,OOo,0OO.
Under good government, and with an
assurance Of the continuance of that
confidence-inspiring condition, the
prosperity Of Los Angeles is being in
creased at a marvellous rate. The record
of achievement and of progress. moral
and material, under good government
is one Of the brightest pages in the
history of our metropolis. During this
new year, with a continuance of good
government, there will be continuance
and an increase of prosperity, and
Greater Los Angeles will be the wonder
city of all the land in respect of hon
orable achievement and well-earned
success.

Instance, Helen Keller, who notWlth-

Wisdom is not the product of sense
or sensation, else individuality would
be unknown, and, after all, the possess
sion of the higher attributes is more
manifest in charity, kindness, mercy,
Justice, purity, affection and goodness,
and these are purely mental, not ami
NAL. If we had to depend entirely on
our senses there would be no progress,
for progress depends on the exercise of
those gifts, hence my assertion that
mind and it's action govern man.
One instance of how unreliable our
senses are has been revealed to many
in this wise: Seated in a car and OBJ
serving through the window another
train set in motion, we get the inn
preston il is our car which is moving.
This is only belief formed from sense
testimony, but it results in sense
of motion in the body; now close the
eyes and the sensation departs. Re-
Gently 1 observed this phenomena

In this instance it was the bridge
which appeared to be moving. The
Illusion in the first instance made it
appear that the sensation of motion
was in the body (matter), whereas the
truth is it was in mortal mind or
Imagination.
If we could sense the fact that our
planet is revolving in space at an in
credible speed, chaos would result, but
the mind which governs all things
renders this seeming incongruity com
patible with security and harmony, so
we can throw all our care on creative
intelligence if we understand.

things necessitate many distinct sets
of signals.
Odd Moves Mean Much.
You have seen Hugh Jennins, the
scrappy Tiger leader, coachingy You
have noticed him pick grass and
dance and yell and give vent to his
world renowned "E-E- Yah!" Well
some of that may be for effect. But
you may chalk it down that a whole
lot has sense and meaning TO the
mighty Detroit batsmen and base
runners. Did you ever watch George
sta Iing's legs during a tight battle?
He is high strung and nervous on the
bench, but every time he shifts those
legs or changes his position in any
way-body, feet or h9nds-it means
something to US. And we sit up and
take notice.
Now, in the baseball d-.ring, if not
misplaced will often go a long way. l
remember the confession of Ira Thorn

squeeze play on him at the Hilltop.
We had a sign when Ira was here for
this play, which l sprung 50 that he
could see 1t was simply brushing the
left side of the nose as if to remove
dust from the face.
Now, the very fact that 1 used the
signal unarmed Thomas. The squeeze
was the logical play.
"Oh yiu're going to try the
squeeze?" kidded Thomas.
You guessed it, 1 said.
That made him sure / wasn't. So he
signalled for a ball that couldn't have
suited me better And / squeezed the
runner in-in fact, beat the bunt. I'll
never forget Ira'S face when l turned
back at first and gave him the laugh
AS to coaching on the base lines,
none but experienced and heavy play
ers should be employed. You want
men here who can size up situation
in a twinkling. They should be those
in whose judgment the players have
implicit confidence. But the coach
should shoulder no more than his own
responsible ity. He is useful to a play
er only when the latter's back is
turned to the ball. AS a general rule
the baserunner himself should be his
own coach except when finishing a
long sprint to stretch a base hit.

CHASE EXPLAINS

1t is necessary that the opposition
he kept strictly in the dark as to what
the various signals mean The fan sees
the catcher and pitcher signalling on
almost every pitched ball. He does not
see the signals that are flashed be-
tween infielders and outfielders at the
same time If he did those signals
would be worthless.
Signal System Complex.
Signals must be disguised SO that
the opposing players cannot fathom
them. Then what chance has a fan?
Now, if but one sign were employed
for each sort of a play, it would not
take a cunning opponent long to faith
Of any signal code. That is why as
many as half dozen systems have To
b mastered before the season opens.
Baseball stupidity can generally be
traced to crossed signals. The player
with average sense car master this
phase of the game. Some break into
the big leagues who can never get the
various codes through their gray mat
ter, but they do not stick long i'll fast
company. Many acts of signals are
necessary for various reasons. One
s- hof n
may be in guarding his sign, he cam
not always hide it from a Wideawake
baserunner Especially is it difficult
to do the trick when the runner is on
second. Now at second base that
runner can watch the ball. He can tell
wat a certain sign means. The sign
must not be employed twice in the
same sense while he is on second or
he will profit. When any one of half
dozen signs mean a curve the run
ner is just as much at sea as if he
were on the bench.
Then too baseball players are al
ways changing from one ub to
another. We couldn't use signs against
Washington last year that we employ
ed the previous season. Wild Conroy
was with the Senators. He played SO
long with the Yankees that he hal all
our signals down pat~,e OF course we
had to get something new for Wash
ingtOn. The same went for Ira Thorn
as. with the Athletics. and with De-
troit on account of George Moriarty.
Besides, you never know just what
scheme the other fellow is working.
Signal tippin has been charged

There is only one remedy left when
