BILLBOARDS

NOOD citizenship is intolerant of
NJ the billboard. What's the use of
billboard, anyway? 1t is a relic
Of barbarism. Look at some of Ho-
garth's prints and you will learn the
billboard was introduced because there
were no daily newspapers. With a
constant increase in mediums of print
ed publicity the necessity for billboards
has disappeared. A merchant who sent
a man on horseback to carry letter
to a customer fifty miles away would
be regarded as somewhat out Of date
or, at the best, most eccentric.
The billboard method of advertising
is as antique as the private mail courier
method of communication.
Los Angeles is a modern city.f 1t is
our constant boast that we always rep
resent the last word in civilization and
in the improvement of civic and social
conditions. Let us give ourselves a
square deal Friends and fellow mer-
chants, we don't advertise our wares on
billboards. Why should any of you?
AS far as advertising is concerned
we are all in the same boat. We
can surely afford to do without a
species Of advertising" which results
in far more harm than good, causes in
feeling, interfcres with property, and,
generally speaking, is an unmitigated
nuisance.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-28

me of an extremely windy day when on
passing a small church L went in just
as the minister in glowing terms was
introducing a missionary from China.
The lady, with fluent speech, grace
fully described how her own family
lived in a large houseboat loaned to
them from the British government and
how they kept two Chinese women to
wait on them. and how it took nearly
two wears to teach these women to talk
and read the Bible in English, and
when that was accomplished one OF
these women accompanied her TO the
Chinese residences, for that was the
only way she could get inside OF their
houses. The inmates would first thor
oughly inspect her clothes, then her
woman would read a chapter of the
Bible to them, and amid much giggling
would leave to visit the next house, ana
the. next, then home. This was done
once or twice a week.
The minister, an earnest, good man,
said: "Well, sister, our church is small
but perhaps we can pay one OF these
Bible women. How much do they get
year?"
She answered with much self-com-
placent assurance: "Oh, when they can
read well enough we pay them $12
year"
In silence the minister rubbed his
chin, then said: Let us sing hymn
It is just as Lincoln said, you can
fool all the people a part of the time,
and part of the people all the time, buc
you can't fool all the people all the
time. ELIZA REETz.

CREDITABLE SERVICE

N REDIT is due to a victim, aided by
private detective agency and
the district attorneys office, for
ending the game that promised re-
munerative life interest in a prosper
Gus business in return for small
sum. No matter how much preach
ing may be INDUCED in on the subject,
poor human nature is far from being
proof against get-rich-quick schemes.
One of the amazing features of mod
ern life is the lack of originality in
the fake games and bunco-steering
methods of the persons who live by
their predatory wits. They always
play the same old game in the same
old way. and. disgusting to relate, al
ways succeed in fleeing many victims
and in amassing much wealth before
they are finally brought to book Citi-
zens of Los Angeles appreciate and
applaud all detective work, public or
private, that is applied to the legiti-
mate purpose of protecting the public
from the minor predatory powers. The
major predatory powers are almost
inaccessible, but their turn is coming
some day. Meanwhile let us be
thankful that from time to time there
appears on the social scene a citizen
who is not ashamed to say he was
taken in and done for, fooled and
heeced. Everybody may be fooled at
some time. Anybody may be fleeced
at some time. Worthy of credit is
the citizen who, instead Of saying, II
am an easymark and L don't care to
advertise myself" declares, Il was de-
ceived and swlndled, but 1 will take
care that the game which caught me
shall catch no more people," Every
man who causes the arrest of a swim
dler or stops a swindling game is rem
dering a service to society.

SAYS ENGLAND HAS oUTeRoWN
VACCINATION SUPERSTITION

los ANGELES, Jan. ID EDITOR
Herald; | want to indorse what Mrs.
John Sobies6i says about vaccination,
and how that pretentious fallacy-not
Ia saw superstition-has been exploded
i'm England by careful analysis OF
facts and figures, when that analysis
has come to be made by people whose
vision was not distorted by personal
necuniary interests in the shape or
Vaccination fees. The failures of vac
cination is so patent as to be almost
common knowledge today in England
and that is why the government mas
had to pass a law eXempting from
conpulsion all persons who declare
themselves as holding conscientious
objections" (And never until they
"haye to" do governments relieve the
masses from the oppression of class
made laws of this character). So wide
snread indeed has become the convic-
tion that vaccination is a humbug ana
an evil. instead of the blessing it was
once thought to be. that parliament
has had quite recently to amend the
conscientious Directors act making
exception simpler and easier than ever
The conditions i'm the United states

FORFEITED

w HEN an individual enters into a
wv conditional contract it becomes
null and void if the conditions
are not fulfilled within a given time.
The same rule applies to the depot con-
cession which was wheedled out Of the
city by the Southern Pacific upon prom
ises that have not been kept and con-
ditions that have not been fulfilled.
There might be a SAVIOR of saving grace
if the railroad had shown any sign of
an intention to redeem it's pledge, but
absolutely nothing has been done to
warrant the presumption of existing
bona fdes on the part of the railroad.
In three years the corporation has
failed to build a promised depot or to
make preparations for building said de-
pot, The neglect of the fulfillment Of
the promise has outlawed the conces-
sion; and the railroad should either
make good without delay or should i'm
mediately restore to the city the prop
erty over which it obtained control by
foundationless representations.

CORRECTION OF CRIME NOT
FOUND IN PENlTENTlARIES

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26-[Editor
Herald: 1t is with pleasure 1 read the
articles that appear in the Letter Box
Those on the treatment of criminals are
especially good To my mind there
can be no more important subjects
than, "Why we have crime" How it
may be abolished" and "How treat
those we call criminals" These are
subjects that should interest every cit
izen. To abolish crime we must deal
with the cause. not the effect; we can
never do away with crime by punish
ing. Punishment never made man
better. 1t may make one submissive,
but will not make him kind and good.
The child who is punished because he
does what he is told not to do will lie
to avoid punishment, but the child who
knows he will be praised because he
has told the truth will be truthful.
The child who is taught to love all
animals, all people, will not be apt to
harm anyone. Jesus said Love your
enemy T would say "love all and you
will have no enemy"
1t would be we'll to strike out of our
language the words must" "shall, !"
must not" and shall not and teach
our children to do right because it is
right, not because some one says they
must
That if he disobeys Gods laws he will
suffer and, above all, teach him to rely
upon his own inner self to know what
is right.
To do away with crime we must be-
gin at the root The physician, who
deals with effect and not cause, will
not remove the disease. We must do
away with things that make criminals.
The present system of profit and
> I oINA fChn INV
system that allows dogs to be decked
with jewels and ride automobiles,
while children are half clad and hun
CRY breeds envy and crime. So long
as we have the very rich and very poor
true love can not exist.
To abolish crime we must do away
with the kings. queens, czars and
rulers. The government must be run
by the people and for the people. Chill
dren must be born and reared with
the thought that God never made one
better than another, born with the
thought that all men are brothers, that
all are children of one divine force,
each having a right to live and enjoy
Gods blessing.
The way our asylums, reform schools,
jails and penitentiaries are run is
disgrace and a curse. They should be
places of education rather than punish
ment. VINO Is aDIe OF nOHeSt eilOuSH
to pass judgment upon another? Many
an innocent man has gone to prison,
while many rascals ran at large. The
rich man who is grinding the lives out
of little children for profit is greater
criminal than the man who steals your
purse.
If one must be put behind the prison
bars let him go there with the thought
it is for his good. Then bring out the
love that has been neglected in early
life. Like attracts like. Love attracts
love- Let us teach ourselves to love,
then we may teach others to love, and
thus abolish crime.
MARY e. THRASHER.

GAMBLING

VII ILL gambling in futures be abol-
w ished? 1t looks as if the move
ment which has in view the
elimination of this gambling element
from American life might find a method
of applying congressional action to the
problem. There is room for considera-
BILE popular missionary work in educat-
ing the American people as to the diff
ference between the gambling they
have been taught to regard as legal
and the gambling they have been
taught to regard as Illegal. And
we are going to take advantage of
an Irish bull and say the moral differ
ence between the two is that there
isn't any moral difference.
1t is no wonder anti-gambling move
ments are attended by some mental
confusion ON the part of the public,
when we are gravely informed Twee-
deldum is a highly reprehensible prac-
tice, which must be stopped if the good
name of the community or of the
American nation is to be preserved and
Tweedledee is all right, because Hon.
Jay Gould and Hon. Russell Sage and
Hon. Hetty Green and Hon. Get Rich
Quick syndicates in various parts of
the country have used it in the effort
to anass the wealth which has earned
them the slavish admiration of many
Of their fellow human beings.

freed from the necessity of recognize
ing their responsibilities as public
servants.
Indeed, their relationship to the pub
lie as it's protectors should be more
fraternal and considerate than that of
the uniformed men, because their walk
in life leads them right into the sci
entifc domain of criminology and
their familiarity with the causes which
produce disagreeable or inharmonious
effects should be much more intimate
and expert than that of the uniformed
men. Yet what is the general bruit as
to the conduct of the men whose re-
lationship with the cause of public
order and good citizenship should be
so trustworthy intimate that, one
would think, many transactions which
prove criminal or offensive could be
stopped at their wellspring by judi
cious interference to restrain the OPP
Grafton Of pernicious causes?
These members of the more studious
and philosophic branch of the force
are charged with abuse of their priv
ileges and opportunities by conducting
systematic persecution of political
refugees. Far from studying and at
tempting to cope with and prescribe
remedies for the causes of the crimes
of current chronology, these experts"
waste their time and the public's by
doing politics sometimes for the poll
~ nj actually
for politicians abroad, for they have
been known to USE their American
privileges of office in the secret SER
vice Of foreign despotism that de-
manded the capture and return of po-
litical refugees.
Let lis have not only a new deal in
police matters, but square deal, by
insisting upon the part of our uni
formed protectors and our salaried
servants on a discharge of duty along
the lines of intelligent SYSTEM rather
than haphazard ramble-scramble.
Let our police deal more with
CAUSES, then time, money and en-
ergy will not be wasted in the eXer-
else Of a miserable and fantastic 'pu-
nitive" function, which is non-reforma-
tory and practically useless to soci-
ETY.. The causes that produce the daily
grist of petty offenders and criminals
for the mills of the courts are constant, |
and society by millions of instances has
learned to anticipate them with such
confidence that it keeps court officials
and attendants on salary, with the
never disappointed expectation the
same old causes will produce the
same effects in specific instances that
will be renewed and renewed and re-
newed forever and ever, amen, or as
long as the CAUSES are allowed to
exist
