CRUSADE OF THE HERALD

HxrsI Cowardice of Certain Newspapers Re-

trucking Attitude

PASADENA, Sept. THE Herald's
exposure of the corruption OF certain city
efioials, one IN particular, and others
acting as aids and satellites, has created
such storm of indignation as was never
witnessed in Pasadena before. The whole
population excepting those moro or less
Involved or interested in others who are
concerned in the matstr) offers congratu-
lation to The Herald for exposing the
sascality that has been so long going on.
With no one to bring it to the light of
day. The utmost contempt is openly ex-
pressed by large number Oh the former
strong supporters of the Times for such
an inexcusable lack OF moral courage that
prevents that paper from taking any def
mite position on question of the greatest
Importance. while matters of no conse-
quence have always been dished up with
elaborate embellishments. And when
this morning the familiar Pasadena COL
umn had almost entirely disappeared,
crawled into hole as it were, and pulled
the hole in after it, and in lieu thereof
we are given letter. signed Plain Facts
by some coward afraid to sign his own
name thereto, the Times has shown the
sort of stuff it is made OF to perfection.
This cowardly anonym us letter writer,
as might be expected, start out with the
statement that the whole affair OF August
18th was an lnconsequential one, and
then pI oceeds with an attempt to defend
the perpetrators of the outrage with the
same weak excuses that were offered in
the Star last night. AS for the latter
paper, itssgratuitous and uncalled for ad-
vice to The Herald correspondent looks
exceedingly ludicrous after reading the
matters of history dug up by the News
in this evenings issue. Ii we were
giving advice, we would say. better not
be so facetious next time. With all the
frantic attempts at breaking down The
Herald's evidence the main point stands
as incontrovertible as ever. The restaur-
ant men think that if the city marshal is
going to run joint he ought to be willing
to deal out the intoxicating beverages with
IN the same hours to which they are sup
posed to conform, but even then they
think he would still have the advantage
of them, for he don't arrest himself, when
he passes around the whisky without
meal TO go with it, while they are threat
ened with fine or imprisonment if they
follow his illustrious example. All hon
est and law-abiding citizens are asking,
How long is Pasadena to be made the
laughing stock of the world by such out
Tageous conduct by her city officers as has
been exposed by The Herald. and has
been going on here for years?" An alb
surd rumor has oeen floating around
but has not showed its head in print, to
the effect that The Herald's fight is in
