APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT

1t was well that saving clause was
put into the verbal rejoicing Of the peo-
pie of Southern California over the opin-
ion rendered by Attorney General Nc
Kenna in the San Pedro harbor case. AS
disclosed in Yesterdays Herald, Secre-
tary Alger is determined to continue the
policy of delay, and it now looks as if it
would be late in the spring before work
on the breakwater is actually begun, and
it may be even later.
Secretary Alger is probably actuate! !!
in his course by one or both of these mo-
tives: A desire to further accommodate
his friend Huntington at the expense of
the people, or contemplate spirit of
revenge, seeking to get even" for the
merited criticism of his policy on the
part Of the people of Southern California
The people are entitled to better treat
ment. The harbor board has recon-.
mended San Pedro, congress has appro-
priated the money for the construc ton
Of the harbor, the attorney general has
given an official opinion as to the duty
Of the secretary of war in the matter of
advertising for bids, the senate has con-
firmed the previous action of congress
and still the secretary of war delays the
necessary preliminary steps. The ex
cuse advanced is that more time is neces-
sary to prepare the plans and specifica
lions. The harbor board got through its
work in two months; why should the wal
office require six months or year?
The conclusion is inevitable that the
secretary of war is still using his au-
thority in behalf of Mr.. Huntington and
against the interests of the people, and
he will be held responsible accordingly.
1t is useless to make any further appeals
to Alger. Let us so to his superior. The
people of Southern California should
make a direct appeal to President Nc
Kinley to intervene. against the unjus.
and unwarranted policy of the secretary
of war. Mr.. Mckinley by virtue of his
office is president of the whole United
States He is not merely the presiden,
for and of the Republican party. He was
not elected president for the purpose of
providing the itching soul of Alger with
a political job. He is not supposed to be
filing the presidential chair with the ex-
elusive object OF carrying out the desires
of c. p. Huntington.
1t is time for the people of Southern
California to again make an active issue
of the harbor matter. We cannot afford
to lie down supinely and let monopoly
fully ours.
Let an appeal be made direct to the
president. If he will not give us justice.
he administration and the Republican
party will be held responsible.

and our dilapidated navy would have
South sea savages.
There died one day this week in New
Jersey an old gentleman who was secre-
tary Of the navy for eight years while
Gen. Grant was president. He spent
money enough to build a rather respect
able navy, but when he went out of
office the result was collection Of old

With the advent of a Democratic ad-
ministration, one of the first things
taken in hand was the rebuilding of the
navy. Both W. c. Whitney and MI
Herbert during Clevelands administra-
tions bent all their energies to this
great work. In the one eight years
more good work was done than an army
of Robesons would have accomplished in
fifty years.
In case of war with Spain the peo-
pie would have cause to call down all
Imaginable blessings on the wise heads
of Mr.. Whitney and M. Herbert, whose
patriotism and sagacity has given us
so respectable a nucleus of navy some

peril of foreign war. In such an even
the outcome of the struggle would de

This points moral and adorns tale.
When the war of 1912 broke out the coun
try, which had but just been organized,
had a navy, small to be sure in the

Down to the breaking out of the civil
war American ships and American

all men in all the harbors Of the earth.
The war came and passed and with It
the Republican party came into power.
From 1860, when James Buchanan went

years the American navy and the Amer
lean merchant marine fell into decay
to such an extent that our ships were

Breaches of Domestic Comfy

1t is well understood that 1t is a breach
of comfy for a government to send an
obnoxious representative to a friendly
nation. II the government would not
send an unpopular minister or consul
to South American country how can
it justify it's action in appointing to office
in a southern state persons who, on ac-
count of their race and other objections,
are distasteful and repugnant to the
great body Of the respectable taxpayers
of that state? Mr. Mckinley would not
send an Objectionable person to Spain
or to any other foreign country, but he
does not respect the wishes and preju-
dices Of Georgia, Alabama and Louis
iana How does he Justify this differ

THE SHEEP OR THE WoMANp

1t iS an axiom that where the bell
follow. What is known locally as {
"pile-up" happened to a North Dakota
flock recently. causing the Death of 115
sheep. The animals, it is explained
were frightened by the appearance OF
a woman as they went into a creek to
drink. The item is extracted from the
Wool Record, the official organ of the
wool industry, and so it must be true.
There are one or two things about this
tragical occurrence that call for expla-
nation. What manner Of women 90 the!
have in North Dakota, that the appear
ance of one will frighten lis sheep t.
death? The sheep is meek and domes
tic animal, according to all tradition
except that there may be an occasional
and measly exception with horns and a
vicious temper. The women of North
Dakota have been credited with being
as fair and as amiable as their sisters
in other states. There is nothing about
them, by themselves considered, calcu-
lated to frighten the most foolish of foo,
sheep.
There must have been some extran-
eous condition or circumstance that sent
those lis sheep to involuntary suicide,
SO to speak Did the woman wear
boomers? Was she demanding at the
point of her parasol the right of suf-
rage? Let us not condemn and hold re
sponsible the whole ssterhood of North
Dakota women because of this one mis-,
hap. Let US not even hold this one sister
responsible. Let US rather blame it OF

it the olive f1ourished wonderfully,
though not as much as where it is better
treated.
We have said that the olive needs no ir-
rigation 80 long that we have come to be-
lieve it ourselves. While. true in one
way, it is false in another, and we are the
last who should be deceived by it, Nor
is there any profit in the long run, in try
ing to deceive the stranger with it. There
is plenty of soil on the favorable rain
belts where it will pay to raise the olive
without irrigation. But the land is not
worth for that purpose near what it
would be if it could be irrigated, and it
is simple honesty to say so. 1t is not
good policy to sell dry land at a wet
price on the theory that it does not need
irrigation, for it will react upon the olive
industry sooner or later The olive is
destined to be one of our best products,
but we want to do with it as we have
with the orange and lemon-stop de-
ceiving people with the idea that they
have only to plant trees and then sit
down with a pair of coupon shears.
The truth is good enough II is easy to
irrigate the olive 80 as to make it very
and we might as we'll begin to
recognize the truth that sooner or later
will prevail. 7. S. VAN DYKE.

THE STRAW BOND EVIL

An example ought to be made of the
people who make false statements re-
garding their property when they go on
the bond Of persons charged with vari-
Gus offenses. A case was cited the Other
day where two men swore that the,
were possessed of property valued al
$4,000. Investigation showed that thu
property in question was assessed 1t just
s915.
Cases Of this kind are altogether too
frequent particularly in the justice
courts. 1t may not be practicable for the
court officials to investigate at once for
themselves the statements made by
bondsmen; but it is their duty to make
themselves reasonably sure that this
statements made are correct.
The case cited in the foregoing occurred
in Justice Owens court. 1t does not
appear that any attempt has been made
looking to the punishment of the two
men who swore to such outrageously
false statements. Why has no such
move been made? If no notice is taken
of straw bond offenses. even in cases
where they are made public, it will only
tend to bring the law and the courts
into contempt and encourage the com
mission of a grave crime.
Professional straw bondsmen are fire.

OUR NOBLE HERITAGE
What Professor Waterhouse Says Of
Los Angeles Advantages

Prof. Sylvester Waterhouse, who oc-
cupies the chair of Greek in Washing
ton university, has recently returned
from an extensive trip through the west
and southwest, says the ST. Louis Star.
In an interview concerning his trip
the professor said: THE next stop was
at Los Angeles. The trip over the Mo-
jave desert was tlresome and dreary.
Los Angeles is an active and prosperous
city of more than 100000 people, and it
is clearly destined to continue to be the
largest city in Southern California. 1t
has fine buildings, beautiful homes pros
porous manufactures, and an ever in
creasing maritime trade. Near Los An
geles are located the harbors of Santa
Monica and San Pedro. It shows the
vast power of capital andbof administra-
tive talent that the harbor at Santa
Monica was made as even as a road
stead. There were no natural facilities
whatever for a harbor. Almost any
point on the coast might as we'll be taken
for a haven as Santa Monica. But at
San Pedro there is now a large and an
excellent harbor, which, by a moderate
expenditure of capital, can be made as
large as the commercial demands of the
locality may require. An outer harbor
also can be easily constructed. From
Point Fermin breakwater can be built
which will make an excellent outer har-
Dor for ships.
Two million nine hundred thousand
dollars has been appropriated by con-
gress for the improvement of this har-
Dor, and the expenditure of this sum will
not only increase the safety and useful
ness of the harbor, but also give great
impulse to the growth of Los Angeles.
The action of congress in making this
appropriation was very wise, and the
work ought not to have been delayed 80
long by the factious opposition of the
friends of Santa Monica.
Pasadena, nine miles from Los An
geles, is one Of the most charming cities
in the United States. Orange Grove
avenue, with its beautiful residences,
fine lawns, orange groves and palm trees.
is one of the handsomest streets in
America"

It's been shorn of its plumes and its feath-

And the matinee Graces,
With unshadowed faces
Are smiling like dutiful dears in their

But with perfect submission
They've signed a petition
For change in another theatric condition ;
And here's what they say
To the council today
For which all the charming petitioners
pray;
Away with the feet
That climb over the seat,
A mythical friend in the lobby to meet;
Away with the droves
That return with the cloves.
And the breath that all over the theater
roves!
The fellows who scramble and squeeze to
their places,
And ruthlessly trample the silks and the
laces:
Away,
They say. fi
With those fellows today;
Let 'em mash em as fiat

Chain 'em down till the end Of the play"

Summing Up the Protection Idea

To aid in the concentration Of wealth
is obviously the function Of protection.
BY enabling small part of the popula-
ton to exact heavy tribute from the
masses the protectionists are working
to facilitate concentration and the noble
work Of capital. The mulcted are in
vited not to complain, nor to attempt
to stop this grand movement which 50
highly benefits the world by making the
rich richer and the poor poorer. Instead,
let the poor save up their pennies and
become great capitalists themselves.

essay upon the ethics Of finance1dashed d
with humorous epigrammatic sentences,
the whole seasoned with a sort of what
is-to-be- will-be philosophy. But the
disting guished gentleman from Maine
fails to answer Bryan's hard facts.

the expense Of the American people, but
to the taXpaying citizen who desires to
see more money in circulation and to
receive living prices for the products of
his industry, Mr.. Dingley's reply to
Bryan is vox ct praeterea nihil-a voice

the rich oligarchy that aims at the per-
manent control of the financial destinies
of this nation, are evidently alarmed a
the vitality Of the silver question and al
the resonant notes and confident tone of
all afraid of the silver question. and no,
without cause.
The Herald has heretofore published
and commented upon the statement Of
Mr.. Hugh c. Smith. governor Of the
Bank Of England, the PROPOSE
ton to hold part of its note
reserve in silver bullion as authorized
by charter under the law of 1914. At the
semi-annual meeting of the directors OF
that bank, September 16, the governor,
replying to questions, reiterated this
statement. He said the bank had no
negotiations with the United States
monetary commission, but that it had
agreed, under certain circumstances,
to carry out what is permissible under
the act of 1874" Commenting thereon
the Republican (Denver, Colo.,) says:
There is much encouragement for all
genuine bimetallists in the remarkable
advance now taking place in the price
of silver bullion, for if that is due to
so slight cause as the proposed action
of the Bank of England, it is evident
that the establishment of an unlimited
demand at the fixed mint price of $l.29
per ounce by our government would re-
store and maintain the ancient parity
and abroad.
This is in line with the position as
sumed by Mr.. Bryan in his letter. Or
the whole, the bimetallic outlook is in.
spring, and the friends of silver have
reason to believe that their cause is ad-
vancing to ultimate success.
