Not TO Be Trusted

Editor Herald: An eminent writer says
that a man who is in the habit of tell
ing falsehoods should be disbelieved;
when he tells the truth it is q part of
his natural and just punishment" SO
when man confesses, as McLachlan
has, that he has supported principles
touching matters of grave public con-
sequence contrary to his convictions.
he should not be trusted by the people
in regard to any profession he may make
or any matter whatever. The goldites
may hold him, for they have ways to
keep such fellows straight. Besides, a
bad cause has far fewer traitors than a
good one. Shylock invested gold with
a fascination that weakens the moral
vision and the sentiment of humanity.
Otis of the Times is responsible for
McLachlan's flon. No urchin ever so
much feared a spanking by a furious
mother as McLachlan does one from the
hand of Otis. The epidermis on his
neither anatomy is more sensitive than
his conscience. 1t was Oti sWho forced
him to the support of San Pedro against
Hervey Lindley and the Southern Pa
cific company, though Lindley got him
renomnated two years ago through the
Burns machine, and the Southern Pa

that McLachan did not mean what he
said. Otis held him up to his work to the

prior to the Walker law. brought in only
$26, ,000 COO of revenue and gave so much
dissatisfaction that the Walker, or free
trade, tariff of 1916 was enacted to take
its place. The Walker tariff with an av-
erage duty of only 20 per cent brought
in SAC 100000. The amount of money
brough in was considered so excessive
that the tariff was further reduced in
1857 from 20 per cent to 20 per cent
duty.
1t is admitted by all students of his
tory, and was admitted by the late
James G. Blaine. that from 1916 to 1857
the country at large was unusually
prosperous. In 1857 the New England
representatives.. who in 1916 had so Bit
terly denounced the Walker free trade
tariff. as a blow aimed at New Eng
lands industries. Joined in and passed
by thirds vote the lower tariff of
1857.
The Congressional Globe gives the
names of the following distinguished
Republicans who voted for the 1857 tar
iff: +. b. Morgan, F. f. Spinner Che
of the familiar fourish), Russell Sage,
who is now talking Mckinley and pro-
lection: Henry Winter Davis. Timothy
Davis. Arson Burlingame, Samuel Gal
loway and many others; and in the SEN
ate such men as William F. Seward,
Henry Wilson, Lafayette Foster and
many others.
So universally satisfactory were the
effects of lesseued taxation that a COM
mittee of the house of representative
declared that absolute free trade could
not be far OFF. The temporary financial
distress of 1857, that Major Mckinley
now speaks of, was caused by too much
wildcat banking. The distress lasted
only about twelve monehs. Speaking
of the year 1850 the last under the Walk
er tariff, Sen9tor Morrill, the father of
protection I'M this country. and author
of the famous Morrill, bill of 1861, had
this to say of the conditions existing in
this country in that year: In a speech
made January 24th. 1867, he said. And
that was year of large production and
as much general prosperity as any per-
haps in our history" The Wilson bill,
with its average duty of 40 per cent as
compared with the Walker tariff of 20
per cent, is a fraud and a robbery. but
while the greater wrong, the demonetiz-
alton of silver, and the appreciation of
gold is going on it is not worth while to
waste time cunning after the indirect
taxation robbers in this campaign.

THE SALT LAKE RAILROAD

Many railroads have been built be-
tween Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
in the minds eye; several inviting
schemes have been suggested, but in
every instance, generally by the veiled
influence of those against whose inter-
ests such a road would be, have been
rendered abortive 1t is therefore with
relief that we learn of a tangible and sub
stantial proposition, behind which
stands a man of capital, resource and
determination. Tonight Bishop Taylor
of Salt Lake City will meet commit
tee from the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association and fully explain the
lines Of his project. His demand of Los
Angeles is modest enough, that its cit.
liens should be willing to subscribe
$40, 900 satisfactorily secured.
The immense and multifarous bene-
fits that would accrue to Southern Cali
fornia by the construction of such
road are obvious enough to anyone who
has studied the natural requirements
of this locality, the necessity of another
outlet for its productions and the
stimulation of those industries which
will insure the fulfilment of the destiny
of Los Angeles as a great trade and
manufacturing center.
The interesting and comprehensive
interview published in today's issue If
The Herald with Bishop Taylor fully
explains the very remarkably rich
country through which the proposed
line would be laid, rich in coal, iron,
minerals, and capable of agricultural
development. Railroad traffic of varied
materials and products would be Sc
cured all along the line of the proposed
railroad.
The eastern route would be lessenad
by 500 miles, and Omaha could be reach
ed from Los Angeles in forty eight
hours, thereby saving thirty hours. The
paradise of Southern California would
be thereby so much the easier available
for the eastern tourist.
This line would not be harrassed BIZ
heavy SHOWS or washouts, and could be
constructed and operated cheaply
Now" as Bishop Taylor says, don't
you think such a line with so much traf-
fic in sight would pay?"
Bishop Tayior's conference tonight
with the committee of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association bids
fair to be not only of extraordinary mu-
tual interest but ultimately of incalcu-
liable advantage to every citizen of
Southern California.

REPRESENTATIVE CANDI.
DATES

Assuming that two opposing candi-
dates for president are as nearly as pos
sible equal in the purity of personal
character voters should then make
choice on account of what each aspirant
for the high office represents In the
case of Mckinley and Bryan nobody
pretcnds that there is any essential
difference between the personal char
acters of the candidates themselves.
There is. however. a very wide and
striking difference between what they
respectively represent.
William Mckinley. so far as he has
any positive opinions on the money
question, represents the opinions of his
manager, Mark Hanna. Whatever the
Big Boss believes in and wants in the
shape of a financial policy, his Canton
protege is Obliged to represent, whether
he likes it or not. And so the Republi-
can candidate stands for goldbugism
in its most obnoxious form. He stands
for silver restriction, for unjust discrim-
nation for money monopoly, for plu-
tocracy, for the enrichment of the classes
and the consequent impoverishment of
the masses. He also represents that
hideOus fraud, protectionism, which
means the systematic robbery Of actual
wealth producers, through crooked tax
alton, and the building up of vast pri-
vate fortunes for a few cheeky tariff
beneflciaries
on the other hand, William ]. Bryan
is the honored candidate selected by
three great national conventions to rep
resent the peoples side of the money
question and the tariff question. Mr.
Bryan stands for the fair treatment of
silver by free and unlimited coinage
at the existing ratio He stands for the
right and duty of this nation to shape
it's own monetary system so as to best
promote the general welfare, without
waiting for any other government CO.
operation or consent. He stands for

An Endemic of Hysteria

GILES de la Tourette gives an account
of such an epidemic, according to
description by Hecker We read: In
Aix-la- -Chapelle. in 1914, troops of men
and women from Germany We're seen
laboring under a common madness and
displaying in the streets and churches
this singular spectacle. With clasped
hands and carried away with an inward
compulsiOn which they could not master
they danced for hours, and kept up the
spectacle without being abashed by
those who We're about, until they would
fall exhausted to the ground Then
they would complain of their great ag-
ony, and would groan as though they
were going to Gle. until people wrapped
their ahdomens with linen cloths, where
upon they would come to themselves and
be free for time from their sufferngs.
The object of this was to dispel the
wind which set in after the attack Peo-
pie often resorted to the simpler method
of planting blows of the fist or kicks
upon the abdomen. During their dance
the subjects had visions. They did not
see or hear, but in their imagination
they beheld spirits whose names they
pronounced, or rather shrieked out: fell
snorting to the ground without con-
sciousnesS, and foamed at the mouth
Then all at once they got up and began
their dance, with frightful wrenchings
In few months this plague extended
from Aix-la -Chapelle as far as the
Netherlands. Like the men and women
| children We're likewise attacked.
A phenomenon often seen today in
insane asylums is that patients think
themselves to be beasts such as dogs
| cats, monkeys, wolves. etc. and behave
accordingly, In the middle ages this gave
rise to the superstition of the were wolf.
The word is formed from wolf and the
obsolete word Wer, in Gothic vair. in
Latin vir. man. Such persons. who.
during epidemics, We're sometimes found
| in great numbers, ran about the woods
| on all-fours, lived and behaved exactly
| like beasts, fell upon men who might
| pass by, attacked even riders and W.
| hicles, and stole children and devoured
| their flesh. Such things were known

AT THE THEAIERS

| LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Apro-
| pos of Bohemia. with its tears and sun
shine. it can we'll be said, in the words
of Plautus, by the representation OF
! such plays even good men can be made
better. Henri Murger's delightful story
| has been most happily adapted to the
stage in its idyllc presentment by the
members of the Empire company. Light
and discursive in its diction, the lines
| are frightened betimes with the sparkle
of epigrams as sententious as the say
ings of EpictetuS. The picture is daint-
lily presented of the Latin Quarter
the realm of the students and the girls
cites, who typify the intellectual gypsies
the world over-the loves, pleasures,
pangs and pathos of the sad, happy peo-
pie of Bohemia. Poor without prudence,
vain in atfliction, not taught by misery
nor enriched by gain. A rare vein of
honest sentiment stirs the blood as the
simple story is told. and there was intin-
lite art deftly concealed in the telling.
There is not so much of pretension in
Bohemia as in The Masqueraders, bu.
there are greater deeps of the human
heart uncovered, and flesh and blood
people follow the living stream of honest
fancy and indulge not in the fantastic
and antic. Bohemia, with all its free
dom, gives force to the line of good
Richard Steele:

age,

Certainly the fashionable audience
which crowded this theater last evening
was charmed alike with the play and
the players. Viola Allen, as Mimi, gave
us a most delightful little woman.
There was lust the right poise of emo
ton. and the very frankness of her love
confession took on a subtle, delicate
naivete that was captivating. Miss AL
len has the true art of the player. What
more can be said? Mr.. Edeson, as Mar
eel. was a readily recognized type of
Bohemia. and with the nice, finished,
sympathetic quality manifested by Mr..
Faversham, as Rudolph, theater-goers
can congratulate themselves that the
good actors are not all gone into the last
white sleep. Two admira BILE exploita-
tons of character were given by Mr..
Dodson, as Schumard, and Mr.. Colts
chalk, S Collne, while Mr. Crompton,
as Baptiste, showed again the greatness
of his scholarly experience. Miss Con-
quest, as Musette, had a most exacting
role as the volatile Parsienne swayed
by puzzling multiplicity of fancies.
'Tis of such one as her that the singer
says:
You were so full of subtle fire
You were so warm and so sweet, Musette,
You were everything men admire
And there We're no fetters to make US tire
For you were pretty grisette.
But you loved as only such natures can
With love that makes heaven or hell to

Shedding Its Shell

Odd as it may sound to say so, the
lobster grows before, not after he casts
his old hard shell-that is to say, he
MAKES new cells and tissues. which are
not at once filled out, but which are in
tended to swell to their full dimensions

older and harder one, and the animal
then withdraWs himself, leg by leg, claw
by claw, and swimmeret by sWimmeret,
out of the enveloping coat of mail which
covers him. The shedding of the old
coat is complete and absolute. Not a
fragment remains; even the apparently
internal hard portions are cast off with
the rest, for the entire covering forms
one continuous piece, the interior por-
tions being really, so to speak, folds OF
the skin inserted inward.

SLIGHTLY Qualified

Editor Herald: In the Record of last
evening there appears comment on a
sermon said to have been preached by
the Rev. S. A. Thompson, pastor of the
Vincent Methodist church, on money.
Reference is made to me in the follow
ing words:
"A personal friend of his, the Rev.
Burt Estes Howard of the Presbyterian
church on Figueroa street, says that the
sermon was grand effort to show the
distinction between right and wrong in
the dealings of men towards each other,
and that the strictly political side of the
question was rather avoided than other
wise That no matter what amount of
money was coined, how it was coined
and what kind of currency it was. there
would always be hard times among GER
tain classes of people"
Now, while paying the highest compli-
ment to the historical imagination of the
reporter who evolved the above out of
his inner consciousness, there are two
or three little discrepancies that must
not be passed in silence.
First-I did not hear Mr.. Thompson's s
sermon.
Second-I did not know that Mr..
Thompson preached a sermon on the
money question or any other question.
Third do not remember having ever
met Mr.. Thompson and could not pick
him out of the Methodist conference.
Fourth-Having never heard Mr..
Thompson preach, and having never
met the gentleman. to my knowledge.
and having not even read a synopsis of
or extract from any sermon of his. l
have never expressed in public or pri-
vate any opinion on the man or his
views.
With these trifiing exceptions the Rec
ord account is. presume, true.
Yours most sincerely
BURT ESTES HOWARD.
