The Same Old Argument

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Her
aid: When reading the report Of Secre-
tar Alger to the United States senate last
week in regard to his refusal to advertise
for bids for building the breakwater at
San Pedro. I was struck by the SIM
ilarity of his language concerning the
danger of the destruction Of any wharf
that might be built by the inroads Of
the teredo, to that used by the Southern
Pacific railroad people as published in
the Santa Monica Outlook some fifteen
or more years ago. 1 then read that
paper regularly and became interested
in the efforts of the people to establish a
pier at Santa Monica and a seventeen
mile railroad from Los Angeles to get
freight into Los Angeles without bein.,
subject to the awful charges imposed by
the Southern Pacific company. The pier
had been in use but short time when
it was reported to have fallen into the
hands Of the Southern Pacific folks.
and then it was destroyed. The reason
given was that the teredo was destroy
ing the pilee ard the pier was not safe.
1t was we'll understood to be a mere ex-
cuse given by the party controlling the
pier.

Experiment Stations

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Her
aid: The leading article under The
Ranch and Its Products in your issue
or May 21st, contains so many incon-
sistencies, that I desire to call atten-
ton to some Of them. In the first place,
1t speaks in the highest terms Of the
experimental work that has been done
in this and other countries, especially
those conducted by Messrs Lawes &
Gilbert in England, and goes on to saw
that it is always wise to have expert
ment stations and experimental work
under the supervision of government
employees" This is, of course, an at
tempt to belittle the efforts that have
been made by the Academy of Sciences
III establishing an agricultural expert
r,ent section and the work being done at
Chaffey college.
The article says: "At our farmers
Institutes men often say that they have
tried stable manure and artificial fer
tilizers side by side for two years, and
they report, after that limited time,
Just which should be used" Why not I?
If man has gotten his best results
by comparative tests as above indi-
Gated, why should he not report the
1acts as he finds them, and
when he finds them? Prof. HilEard
our government Official" who has been
in office over score of years, has never
made any such reports: in fact he has
not even. instigated any experiments in
Southern California (such as Prof. Cook
SO much appreciates in his article) from
which he could report any facts. Now,
II Prof. Hilgard has been over twenty
years In not even making a start in
this most important experimental work.
and it takes "a dozen or a score of
years to get valuable results" pray how
long will it be before our government
off1ciar' will be enabled to give us any
valuable results? And what are the
ranchers to do in the meantime with
the constantly depreciating crops?

PROGRESS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE

In a country where half a century of
hitting man to marry his deceased
wife's sister, anything looking to the
possible granting of woman suffrage Is
hardly to be expected. Yet the bill ex-
tending the parliamentary franchise to
women has passed second reading in the
commons by the very comfortable ma
jority of II, and is set to go into commit
tee of the house June %. A bill has also
been introduced into the house of lords
but this appears to have been trick Of
the opposition, as it is said that the
suffrag gists did not want bill intro
duced at that time.
The commons is really dictator to the
house of lords, the latter body never
seriously opposing an important meas
ure that has passed the commons by Il
majority sufficiently large to show that
it is in accord with the wishes of the
people. The woman suffragists were
not then so sure of their ground as they

Woman suffrage is beginning to reach
the fair trial stage in Colorado. 1t will
al once be asked what the result has
been. That depends altogether upon
the point of view
That prime old political hypocrite. ex-
Governor Waite of Colorado, claimed,
when posing for a reelection that he
was the pioneer official supporter of
woman suffrage in the state, and he de-
manded the support of the women upon
the strength of the assertion. AS a
matter of fact the governor did, in his
first official message suggest that the
women should be allowed to vote in
either school or municipal elections.
That was all. Waite was defeated, and
ever since has been opposed to woman
suffrage.
Experience has shown that the wom-
en- in Colorado turn out to vote as well
as the men. But anybody who ex-
the world Of morals and politics upside
down was sadly disappointed. The
women followed party lines very much
as the men did. They are human beings,

The Illinois supreme court has de-
cided that the state board of health
cannot prescribe conditions upon which
the citizens of the state may exercise
rights guaranteed them by public law,
such as the right of school attendance.
This is blow at vaccination as pre-
requisite to attendance upon the public
schools. This carries the question as
to whether the legislature has the right
to make such a condition. A bill has
already been introduced providing for
compulsory vaccination, and the matter
will ultimately reach the state supreme
court. The rights of the Individual as
against the rights Of society, are very
clearly involved in the case, and the de-
cision of the court will be awaited with
great interest.
