THE SOCIALIST VOTE IN LOS
.. ANGELES.

Los Angeles has afforded the most
striking illustration of the deep seated
and de-reaching unrest of the coun-
try that has yet demanded attention.
The city is the second in California; |;
has been growing faster than any other
of its class in the nation; is peopled
very largely by families of independent
means, who gather there from all over
this continent. For many years it has
been under control of the anti-labor
elements, and labor organizations have
been under such ban has not been
imposed in any other American. city.
In short, the city seemed tn. very
last to give much encouragement to a
distinctly radical movement In politics.
Several years ago it adopted the COM
mission form of government, and for
nearly three years Mayor George Alex
ander, backed by the reform element,
has given a most excellent, honest,
effective, and apparently popular ad-
ministration.
To make the case against radicalism
apparently stronger the Los Angeles
Times outrage last year has been sup

A FEAST OF COLOR AT TIL
CHRY,ANTHkMUM SHOW.

The annual chrysanthemum exhibit
of the Bureau Of Plant Industry of the
Department of Agriculture is now in
full sway and is attracting thousands 6
of visitors who marvel at and admire
the variety and profusion of color. So
far as we are aware, the black chry.
santhemum has not yet been produced
1t is an achievement which probably
awaits some such fever OF competition
as that which gathered about the pro.
duction of black tulip in the days
when Dutch bulbs sold for hundred
times their weight in gold. But a,
all events one may find at this annual
exhibit every color of the solar spec.
trum-the soft topaz and orange, the
rich crimson and magenta, the pearly
white and more sober ivory, all wavinl
their crested heads with pride worthy
of the place they occupy in the varied
fora of autumn.
The Bureau of Plant Industry Is
carrying on process of development
which had its beginning when the
clever Japanese took an unregarded
weed from the wayside, fed it's roots
upon dainties, flooded it with sun.
shine, experimental with it's pollen
until the founding of the hedges be,
came one of the most highly priced OF
all the ornamental plants of the East
The result was a charming testimony
a. to what may be accomplished by the
skill and knowledge of man when ap.
piled to the meanest and least preten,
tious of the wild flowers.
1t was not so long ago that the
choicest specimen of the chrysanthe.
mum was but little larger than the
dahlia. 1t was of boutonniere size
and in point of color was chiefly con-
fined to the gold from which it derived
its name.
But the past ten or fifteen years have
witnessed marvellous transformation
1t has attained splendor which
makes it distinctly the ensign of au.
tumn. 1t comes to brighten the world
when the Trailer flowers of summer
have fallen and faded like the de.
ciduous leaves Of the parks and the
forest. 1t brings with it the first him
of the gridiron. Its rainbow tints are
woven into all the sports and pastimes
of the season. 1t becomes the aux
iliary of the horse show.
Those who have not yet visited the
exhibition which the Bureau of Plant
Industry has on display have feast
of color before them, and by no means
should miss the opportunity now af.
fcrded them.
