A Denial of Hazing


Editor Herald "A few days ago a copy
of The Herald was handed me in which
appeared an article of half a column in
length, under the date of August 10th,
1895. on tine third page, entitled "Sopho-
mores' Saturnalia. Freshmen at Berke-
ley severely used this week. Practical
jokes and cruel tricks played by young
men who ought to know better" The ar
ticle purported to have originated in Ber-
kelley. AS mem Der Of the committee on
students affairs, l have carefully inves-
tigated the matter and have interviewed
all but one OF the freshmen coming from
Southern California. The enc I failed
to meet was suddenly called home by the
serious illness of his father. 1, however,
know from his mos. intimate personal
friend what he would say il l had sue
ceeded in meeting him. The reason
sought the young men from Southern
California was the fact that in the article
it was stated that two young men from
Pasadena were taken in hand and sub
iected TO indis mites and tortured by be-
ing pulled and pinched and having their
wrists twisted and being proddsd with
sharp instruments until their lips quiv-
cred with pain and tears started to their
eyes, etc. As matter of fact not one OF
the Southern California freshmen has
been in any way interfered with or in any
way had any personal indIgnity put upon
him. So far as the first statements OF
the article are concerned about the FIRST
week of the new term being the time de-
voted to the work OF torture, called ''haz-
ing, and that our students are daily de-
coyed into the gymnasium by sophomores.
denuded and compelled to stand for an
hour in GOLD showers and then covered
with blue paint. there is not the iaintest
shadow of authority for such q statement.
That shadow rests upon the fact that
new student, whose home is In San Fran
cisco, was inveigled by some of the sopho-
mores into one of the dressing rooms of
the gymnasium, where pretended phys
lea. examination was made and the young
man was given shower bath. There was
no indigniy put upon him, he was not
kept in the shower any length OF time
and was not prodded or abused in any
way. The father of the young man some
days after the occurrence met one OF the
university Off GERS of instruction and had
a hearty laugh at what he thought pref
ty good joke on his own boy. Now this is
all the foundation there is for tine report
ed statement regarding the torture of
young students entering the university.
As the article caused much comment
among parents of young men in your
part OF the state will you please be good
enough to give to this staten emit the same
publicity that was given TO the other.
By doing SO you will greatly oblige all
who desire to know the truth. Very truly
yours, GEORGE q. EDWARDS.

That the day has lot gone bv when the

AN IMPERIAL ERROR

The present emperor of Germany is
qualifying himself to serve as the subject
of royal funeral. He is developing into
what he early in his reign gave promise
of-an all-round and egotistical despoG.
His bitter and unreasonable abuse of
those Socialists who chose to be enlight.
ened enough to wish to obliterate the
memories of human slaughter by human
beings, and his abridgment of the liberty
of the press, mark him as possible OBJ
ject of unfriendly interes. on the part OF
some Socialist or anarchist not quite SO
peacefully disposed as those he has so
summarily suppressed. This is rather
late in the nineteenth century to play
the role of absoluteism with safety. The
idea is gradually but surely permeating
the minds of the Europeans that govern
ments are intended to be for the good of
the governed. or If not so intended they
should be abolished. They are realizing
the truth that as they support and sus-
tain the governments, they have a moral
right to consider and TO criticise tn g
same. And when any monarch under
takes to sternly repress an open and frank
discussion Of the government bv its own
people he invites conflict. When that
conflict comes it will not be the un-
crowned heads that will suffer most. The
march of liberalism is not to be stayed by
armies and fleets. The only way to erad-
icats discomfort is to eradicate the cause
of 1t.

BAD TELEPHONE BUSINESS

it is to be feared that good many peo-
pie will have their fingers burnt before
the telephone business, which IS just now
ABOUT the most risky branch of industry
that any one can handle, comes down to
sound and healthy basis. The country
is full of promoters, most OF whom
have fixed such low rates for telephone
service that the public has been led to
think that the business is all income ana
no expense. Persons who are figuring
with the new companies are advised to
scan closely the telephone contracts pre-
scented to them to sign. Some of these
contracts bind the parties for several
years to take and use service which
must of necessity be inferior at the price
named. even if they can give good SER
vice at any price. The promoter always
has plenty of loopholes through which he
can retire in his own good time. The
most palpable of these, which, however,
is often successful in new ground. is to
leave optional with the newly Organized
company tile furnishing of magnetic
transmitter, if non-lnrringing battery
transmitter can not be procured. The
former is utterly worthless for exchange
work, and is az much inferior TO the bat
terry transmitter as the ordinary tele-
phone is to the long distance equipment t.
The truth is that the public has bee
suffering so long from high telephon g
rates that now, when good service at
moderate rates is in sight, they have
rushed to the other extreme and got the
idea that telephones can he had for next
to nothing. This idea has been encour-
aged and disseminated by interested per-
sons, who have lost nc time in turning
it to their own ends. New telephones
companies have been started that could
not possibly do permanent business at

The Herald some days ago printed
fumor that 1. W. Hellman intended to
build fine hotel on his property ON the
corner of Main and Third streets. Mr..
Hellrnan has never done anything very
startling in the way of improving his
property in this city, where he made
most of his vast wealth, and The
Herald hoped that he was about to
show his appreciation of this part
of the state by making some I'M
provements that would be credit to
him. His interests here are large: he is
the absentee president of a certain bank
ing institution, and mas many otlsr

10 far there has been no indication that
there is any truth in the report referred
to. This is regrettable, Tor the Los An

mans pronounced success-a pride that
is apparently not reciprocated as far as
practical demonstration goes.

Treatment for wayworn Trunks

Trunks are now coming home, many
of which have been knocked around all
summer and are in a very shabby condi-
ton, almost too shabby, one thinks. for
another summers trip. but little time
and very little work will brighten them
almost like new.
Take little fish glue and fasten down
all the torn places. Put teaspoon full
of ammonia in Eucket of warm water,
wiring from this a cloth and wipe the
trunk careful ly. If your trunk is drab
canvas or wood, buy a pound of ready
mixed drab paint and carefully paint IL.
If you have brass pieces over the end and
brass nails rub them up with "Still
boma.' If the lining is shabby get plain
glazed cambria, measure, cut the pieces
to fiji thu bottom. sides and ends. Make
paste from rye -four adding two table,
spoonfuls OF fluid glue. With brush
paste the bottom of the trunk just enough
to make the lining stick. Put in the lin
ing, smooth it down neatly, then line the
sides and ends in the same way. After
you have finished you will find the trunk
90 per cent better and it will perhars do
duty two OF three more seasons.

TnR INCREASE OF FARM TENANCY

The Minnesota labor comm issioner, L.
g. Powers. in a recent paper published in
the New York Independent takes issue
with those who argue that the increase
of farm tenancy in the United States in.
dictates the absorption of the wealth and
lands Of the republic into the hands of a
few and the consequent degradation of
the AGRICULTURAL classes from indepen-
dent farm owners to dependent rent
srs. The commissioner collates elabo-
rate statistcis from which he deduces
that the increase in farm tenancy has not
kept pace with the increase in the num-
Der of farms operated by their owners.
Here are some of his figures:
From 1880 to 1890 the farms operated
by their owners Increased from 1884, 1903
10 5. f65. 7722SS . the farms operated by tenants
Increased from 1. 024, sol to 1924 913 and
the farm laborers, which in 1880 we're
8, 223, 676 in number, in 1890 were 1904
015. The farm tenant families or families
living as tenants upon farms in 1890 were
l.624, 443. No corresponding figures were
given for 1880. An examination of these
figures shows that the farms operated by
owners increased 2S5, 422, while those OPP
Grated by tenants increased only 30,
and the number of men and women on
farms working for wages decreased 49,
76l. although the farms of the Iation in
