THE TIMES FLUNK

bank in pretended acceptance of THn
HERALD's challenge Of certain state

we're false and malicious, and imputed
bad faith to The HERALD in the matter
of the Women's Thanksgiving edition.
The Times has taken down its money

"method of procedure" rejected by the
Times is embraced in the following
excerpt from the stipulations rendered

"In this controversy it is under.

that is, the Times is bound to pro.
duce sufficient and competent evi.

An Unfounded Reputation

Senator Sherman is incorrgible. Reply
ing to an interrogatory while addressing
the senate January %, he remarked that
the bond bill ought to pass in order that
the government might be able to borrow at
the lowest possible rate, and added: 1--WE
should provide for a 3 per cent bond.
which | know would be cheerfully and rap
idly taken by the people of the United
States, and give all the relief that is neces-
sary to meet current deficiencies-for that
is what the bonds are intended for" Such
deiverances on the part of Mr.. Sherman
make us frequently wonder upon what
substantial grounds his repute az finan-
cier rests. In the treasury today there is a
surplus of cash. We care not how it got
there, but there it certainly is, amounting
to not less than 1927, 100000. And in the
presence of this vast sum of available
cash Mr.. Sherman assures us that the pro-
ceeds of the coming bond issue are in
tended to cover what is lacking in the reve-
nres.--American Banker.

LAWS AND MORALS
BY ABBOT KINNEY

Laws not in harmony with the human
standards of the masses of the people in a
free country are incapable of enforcement.
Laws that violate this maxim fail to pro-
duce the results intended, and, as an incl
dent of their failure, debauch the public
service. This is particularly the case with
laws intended to improve private morals.
Such laws, when above or at variance with
the general moral standards of the human
beings composing the MASSES, are the
source of bribery of officers, of corrupt
deals in politics, and are only too often a
potent weapon for bIackmail. Besides
these defects such laws lead or tempt con-
siderable portions of the community to a
violation of the law. Thus the body of the
people is corrupted. Contempt of a par:ic-
ular law breeds Indifference to other laws.
Thus the respect OF people Tor its own
institutions is undermined.
Amongst the rules or laws that have
most often gone over and beyond the moral
standards of American communities are
those dealing with the sale, taxing and con-
duct of the liquor business.
There is no one thing that has done SO
much to corrupt city politics as the undue
severity of liquor laws.
Every citizen desires improvement both
in himself and in his community. Indeed,
there are few who do not desire improve
ment for the whole human race. Excess
Give and unwise restrictions of private
morals are from this reason easy to enact.
We desire others to be better than we are
ourselves. The general disaster to the
morals of those intended to be benefited
by moral laws is far exceeded by the un-
whiting drawing into the violation of law
of those who would otherwise have re-
manned innocent and untempted. The
branch of the public service most injured
by unwise moral laws is the police depart
ment, including the police courts. The
blame for this rests on the well intentioned
moraist, better than the rest of us, who
iegalizes restrictionv of private conduct
beyond the private standards of the
masses.
Our highest and purest desires for the
betterment of humanity betray us into the
violation of q principle of free government,
viz: that prohibiting sumptuary laws.
The result is mass of corruption that
involves the whole political system.
| am convinced that many of our moral
laws have retarded or even retrograded
general popular morals.
A freeman's private conduct concerns
himself. 1t is only when he infringes upon
the rights of others that a Democracy
should interfere.
In the consideration of moral questions
we go blindfolded by the very goodness of
our intentions. We thus blindfolded con-
tinually tumble ourselves and others into
pitfalls that child would see and avoid.

Riverside Al, Right

Riverside is again shipping an average
of twenty carloads OF excellent oranges per
day. At the prevailing good prices it can
readily be seen that the fruit growers of
Riverside are by no means the "busted
community one would naturally infer
from reading the diatribes of the Los
Angeles Times regarding that portion of
southern California. The fact of the mat
ter is that the present season has been an
unusually cold one and riverside, having
more oranges than any other locality in
southern California, had more fruit injured
by the frost. But there was very large
the least and Riverside will be growing or.
anges and making money at 1t when some
OF her detractors arein "a locality where it
is said frost never commensurate Ana

The Rain Has Come

The weather reports show lighter pre-
cipitation for the present season thus far
than has ever been recorded previously
since the commencement of the Los An
geies record. Therefore the Times
and other swift prophets are draw
ing doleful auguries of a short water
supply, blasted crops, etc. The Sun pre-
fers to treat the month OF March as it has
treated the city trustees-very respectfully
and to trust it for liberal downpour
which may reach well into April. The Sun
refuses, absolutely. in advance of the fact,
to believe that there will be any failure on
the part of that old and reliable month, but
il there shall be then it will be time enough
to "trip it up the back" Borrowing money
is bad enough, but borrowing trouble is
worse.--San Bernardino Sun.

Republican "Iiarmony"

San Francisco Republicans, so it is said,
do not want the Estee vote taken as basis
for their representation in the state con-
vention. But it ought to be SO taken, all
the same. Tho Republicans in the interior
stood by their ticket at the last election
and did their full duty. The Republicans
in San francisco, on the other hand,
'knifed'' the head of their own ticket.
Now let them lake a dose of their own
medicine, and the more they kick and
squirm, and grimace, the better will the
rural and loyal Republicans enjoy their
antics. They have 10 one to blame except
themselves Bakersfield Californian, (Re-

Greedy Republicans

The Republicans in congress do not
seem to ne satisfied with the overwhelming
majority they have, for every day or SO
they unseat some Democrat. In depriving
Tarsaey of Missouri of the place to which
he was elected by the psople, it is gratiiy-
ing to kow that eighteen Republicans re-
pudiated the job by voting with the Demo-
crats. = Xisalia Times.

10 years of age may compete for the
doll which is sure to be highly priced
by the lucky recipient. Now, girls, this
is your opportunity. Brush the cob
webs and dust of puzzling questions
out of your minds and write the old
gentleman a nice letter; something
different from anything you have ever
written before. You may ask your
papas and mammas how to spell the
words, but the thoughts and good
wishes should be all your own.
