LOS ANGELES CHARTER.

In a period when many experiments are @being tried with new charters each new instrument proposed has it's interesting features, and in each case they are declared to be step nearer perfection. Los Angeles is to decide this month whether it will adopt new rules for it's municipal government. It is the most liberal stand in behalf of municipal ownership that has ever been attempted. It provides that Los Angeles may acquire and run any kind of business precisely like any indl- vidual firm or corporation. The char ter specifically mentions that the city may operate stadiums, theaters, public forums, fountains, dairies, creameries. milk stations, butter and cheese fac tories, banks, savings depositories, pawnshops, loan agencies, bureaus Of funeral supplies, bakeshops and de- partment stores. It even goes so far as to provide for a public defender, one who will defend poor persons in cases of crime and also render such legal aid as might be needed in cer- tain civic matters, at the expense of the city.
 This is long step in municipal gov ernment, the wisdom of all of which features being suggested by action taken in other cities and the needs Of the community. Los Angeles is an up to date city, a growing center in which such proposed changes ought to re- ceive as successful try-out as any where. Others will be perfectly will ing to have the plan tried on the dog" in the Californian city. As in the ad- ministration of any city for the best results the need of the proper men and the right public spirit is para mount.

BREAKING ALL RECORDS.

The activity of the manufacturers of the United States is evidenced by the amount of raw material which they have imported during the past eight months from foreign countries, these imports being such raw materials as they secure from other parts of the world. During 1912 these imports have been larger than ever before, yet at the same time the exportation of finished manufactures showed a heal thy increase over the previous year, and like the imports are larger than in previous years. The importations of hides and skins for eight months this year amount to 409 million pounds or 122 million greater than last year. In India rubber there is also a like increase, the imports for the same period in this commodity reaching 79 million pounds against 50 million in a similar period last year. A million and a quarter more pounds of raw silk were brought into the country in the eight months ending with August of this year than in the corresponding months of 1911, while pig tin increased by seven million pounds. Cotton jumped to an increase of IA million pounds, while lumber and fibers ex- ceeded all former high records.
 The total value of all crude materials imported for manufacturing in the eight months period was s41S,S07 1859 'against $343, ,623,436 last year and man ufactures for further use in manufac- turing $$2O2, 477.00s against $190.461, ,56s in 1911. Exports of finished manufac- lures reached $4s1,6S5,5o5 against $424.o14.636 last year, with manufac- lures for further manufacturing ex- ceeding last year by 34 million and promising that for the full year a grand total of over billion.

WHERE THE COMBINATION IS.

When Colonel Roosevelt maintains that the republican and democratic parties are working together to defeat him, he Is not giving the people credit for doing any thinking for themselves. In view of his attitude throughout his entire endeavor to be elected it Is not strange that he should make such a statement, but 1t ranks alongside the claims of contested delegations which he carried into the nomination cam paign to confuse and bolster up his wrong position.
 The republican and democratic par ties are as far apart as they ever were upon the leading issue, the great eco homie question of the tariff. But lit- tie attention is paid to this by the third-termer's party, the very point upon which the two old parties are diametrically opposed. To think that republicans, and democrats would combine to defeat him is giving him. self far too great credit as political opponent, however strong he may be-. Each of the. old parties is fighting for great principle, while with Mir. Roosevelt it is personal ambition and revenge under the guise of great re- form promises. in many instances state issues with which the many states and not the government will have to deal.
 It is perfectly evident to the voters who arc thinking for themselves that the combination, if there is one. will be between the democrats and the third-termer's party. Both are op- posed to the republican party and anxious to break it down. and 1t is the following which Mir. Roosevelt com mands that is endeavoring to dimin- ish republican majorities and if suc- cessful will place the democrats in power. Whether there is an alliance or not in either case, the third party is the greatest aid the democrats could have, barring an out and out espousal of their cause.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
Prscariousness.


 When you cast out the fear of pow erty," said Bagshot. "you let in the fear of death."
 The one most important factor in health is that you should be too busy looking for food to find time to look for medicines.
 The healthy, lively and sound-livered portion of the race consists of those who do not know where the next meal, or the next several times removed. is coming from.
 The ragamuffin of the street, who devours microbes as a whale draws in little fishes, never heard of most of the complaints which aflict the Fauntleroy darling in velvet who goes airing with his nursey.

for the. rest of his natural life, and you have assassinated his stomach.
 The best part of food is the amount of labor you have had to expend in getting it.
 If humanity could realize its dream and if the race could be put at once in a position where no one would have to work for bread and butter, the world would soon become one enormous hos pital, everybody sick and no doctors willing to attend, and presently We should all die of the pip.
 Precariousness is the bread of life.

Do not say what you would do if you were in the other mans place You have heard people say: T know what would do if were in his or her place!' These folks only have a super
 ficial view of the place they are talk ing about. What you and I know most about is our own place; and 1t Is barely possible we might know more about that and perhaps make it better In some respects. We know just as much about the other fellows place as he knows about our opportunities. our trials and tribulations. You know he knows nothing about them. It is money and temptation and experiences. to say nothing of disposition. which makes every ones place different. If you were endowed with his tempera- nent and conditions. you would do not as you think you would. but as he does. It is crooked thought to think you would do as he does-you wouldn't!

REPUBLICAN HOPE
RESTS IN WILSON
Gov. Burke Declares for Demo-
crat and Gives His Reasons.
BY JOHN BURKE,
Governor Of North Dakota.


The election Of Governor Wilson is
the only thing that can save the Re-
publican party. -Four years Of Presi-
dent Taft has split it in two. We
have no reason to believe that he will
be any different or that his second ad-
ministration, II he Is reelected, will
be any more satisIa Glory to the people
than his first. His reelection will
mean the division of the Republican
party into many warning factions,
which can only result in final dissolu-
ton Of all.
The end will come quicker and just
as certain II Roosevelt is elected, for
he is no longer Republican. but is
the leader OF new party, at war with
the Republican party. as it is with the
Democratic party. On the other hand.
IL Wilson Ia elected the Roosevelt par
ty win perish; the Republicans will
reorganize their party, purge It Of the
banefui influence of corporate power
and greed and make 1t again the
grand old party 1t was in the days Of
Lincoln.

Favors for Cormorants.

Thus do our sagacious Legislators
stultify themselves in the interest Of
the cormorants to whom they grant
special privileges, because, forsooth
they claim to heal without medi
cines! There is now no discrimination
against schools of medicine" There
fore the special protection demanded
for them by the bull moose platform Is
gratuitous and intended only to entral
votes. The "healers' belong to nc
school. Now comes Theodore Rex and
dignifies them by special provision
and, expressing a most tender regard
for their sensibilities, promises to
shield them against discrimination by
educated physicians.
This platform would raise the Quack
and healer above the men who daily
exemplify their personal and profes
sional superiority by some unselfish
devotion to the public veal. In hia
eaRerness to placate the influential
hord of empires Mr.. Roosevelt would
have us oblivious of the fact that the
educated physician is the. only real
altruist in the community. Instead OF
arousing the public conscience IT. Rs

former deepens the crying shame and
thus exemplihes again that under no

President Taft has won the approval
Of the quacks and healers by his med.
zeal regulations Of the canal zone;
hence this Machiavellian policy. Flu.
ture generations will substitute "Roos.

enue for tho Sixth District. embracing

lawyer and politician. makes reply
to sensational charges made by DR.. j.
y. Baylor, pastor Of state Street Meth
odist Church. made in a sermon last
Sunday.
DR.. Baylor accused Summers OF hav-
Ing shed maudlin tears OF sympathy
for the women whom he was defending
at tho trial following recent raid.
and advised In substance that his VITO
seek a divorce.
Mr. Summers's reply says in part:,
My action In elicitlng from Dr. Baylor

his anger and caused him. in my opin-
ion. 70 desecrato the church OF God

duct of DR.. Baylor. and while. previous
TO tho delivery OF his discourse at State

am compelled to believe that his mo-
tives are not good. and proof OF his
statements made In his discourse were
untrue. Will mention three in
stances:
He states that no disguise was used
in visiting the resort in question. Dr.
Baylor himself. upon the witness stand.
upon tho trial of these cases, testified
that he had on pair of overalls and a
SLOUGH hat and watched these places.
iio further stated that on the evening
of the day he wore a largo mustache
and was UP on Cumberland, Water and

It.
DIR. Baylor stated that shed maud-
I'm tears or sympathy for these women.
Ny reply TO this statement is that every
one OF tho several hundred spectators

that / shod no tears for any one But
do wish TO say that 1 felt that tears
could be shed whom I witnessed the
humillating spectacle OF the pastor of

titut!ng his calling. The telegraphic
reports published in newspapers outside
