NOT AT ALL ALARMING

Socialism Is not assuming the alarm
ing proportions that some political
economists would have us believe. There
is pleasing rhyme and rhythm in the
theme of socialism in contradistinction
to in6ividualism, just as there is beauty
in the spirit of the golden rule, but both
contemplate ideal conditions of ex-
istence, and the rigid applica-
ton of either would retard
rather than advance civilization. 1t
may be true, as some hold, that the ulti-
mate evolution of political government
is into practical socialism, but the pro-
cess of unfoldment must of necessity be
slow, if such is the final destiny of gov
errrngent, for there is not a sys tenn of
religion in the world that would coun-
tenance the principles of socialism, and
until religionigts had agreed to abandon
their old faiths and landmarks for the
doctrine of the socialist the merging of
ihdividualisnl into socialism would be
successfully opposed.
1t is true that every REV nation lays
its foundation more or less in socialism,
and it is equally true that when individ-
ualism is carried to extremes the nation
falls and passes into oblivion. That is

A PROTEST.

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: AS a citizen and taxpayer of this
city l beg enough space in your paper
to enter respectful protest against per-
mitting our non-sectarian schools to he
made feeders to sectarian denomina-
tions, in plain violation of the constitu-
tion of the state
1t seems to me that this sort of thing
has gone on about long enough. Time
and time again our daily papers have
informed us that at the closing exercises
of our schools the minister of some re-
ligious denomination addressed the
classes. And besides it is a fact we'll
known that in many of the public schools
of the state there are held religious ex-
ercises as distinctively sectarian as any
church service. Let those who want
sectaran schools build them, equip and
support them at their own expense, but
not at the expense of the public.
This writing has been suggested by
an item in this mornings issue of your
paper. 1t is there stated that promi-
nent minister of this city yesterday
addressed the Bacalaureate sermon TO
the students of the normal school,"
The sermon, as reported, was clearly sec
tartan. 1t was delivered not in the
school building, but in church, where "a
block of seats in front of the pulpit was
reserved for the graduates and their
teachers" 1t was delivered on Sunday
at the regular Sunday services, with all
the appendages, it may be presumed, Of
a church service.
The characters used in illustration
were our blessed Lord and st. Paul. I
think | believe as strongly in those per-
sonages and their teachings as does the
speaker on the occasion; and I believe
that that teaching ought to be the rule
of our lives.
But I do not, therefore. think it the
proper thing to thrust my belief before
the students of a non-sectaran school.

Jews and non-believers

seems to me a strange way of inculca.-
ing that respect and obedience--by vio-
lating them. 1t is not right, it is not
honest. Very respectfully,

INCREASE THE FORCE

TIE one crying need of Los Angeles
is an efficient police force. Not thai
there is anything wrong with the per
sonnel of the present force. but that
it is numerically too small to do good
service. Naturally a great many Grim
fnals would seek Los Angeles during
the winter months, for they are as fond
of a good cline as those whom they
come to rob, and as it is their business
in life to live upon the product of crime,
the good name of Los Angeles has to
suffer because of the penny wise and
pound foolish policy of those whose busi-
ness it is to see that life and property
are properly protected.
Footpads. highwaymen, burglars and
other kinds of criminals prowl the
streets, and depredat!ons are commit
ted in the most public places. Seem
streets of Los Angeles as It would be
in the fastness of a mountain, but, as
we have said it is not because the
police force is lacking in vigilance but
because there are not enough officers to
give anything like adequate protection
to the city.
The beats of the foot officers range
from three to eight miles, and in some
of the outlying districts the distance to
be covered is still greater. In view of
these facts, the wonder is how the force
handles the criminal element as we'll as
it does, and it is a greater wonder that
more crimes are not committed.
There is no doubt at all as to what
the duty of the police commissioners is
in the premises. They should be eco
nomical, of course, but it is not econo-
my to leave the city to the mercy of
The criminal class to save a few dol
lars. In fact, it should not be so much
a question of the expenditure of money,
as a question of protecting the people
against thugs, thieves and murderers.
Los Angeles cannot afford to have it
said of her that she refuses to protect
her people and their property against
bands of cutthroats and robbers. Let
the force be increased Immediately.

A CONTEMP rIBLE SCHEME

The partisans of Mckinley are work
ing a game in the United States senate

boomerang and return and smite them

that the arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and the United States Is
the highest triumph of diplomacy ana
civilization of the century. 1 has revo-
lutionized public opinion the world over
and other nations have caught the
spirit and several of them have already
intimated that they are ready to make
substantially the same kind of a treaty
universal.
But the treaty was negotiated by
Cleveland, or during his administration,
and the plan is to find fault with it and
debate it in the senate until Mckinley
- inaugurated. when it will be ratified

ministration gave the finishing touches
and made its adoption possible. 1t is
hard to see how McKinley's managers
could sink him and themselves to
greater depths of degradation. But the

the history of the nations that have
been overthrown. Socialists appear to
overlook the fact that their theory Of
| government does not encourage COM
mercial expansion and industrial
| growth, and that the best energies of
mankind are employed in enlarging our
channels of trade and traffic for indi-
vidual gain. Business rivalry promotes
struggles for supremacy, which are car
ried into social life and thence to the
altar of the church, and since it appears
| to be an edict of natural law that the
wealth accumulations of nation shall
not be evenly distributed among the peo-
| pie, individualism is necessary to human
advancement-that tribulatiors and
contentious and strifes are the water
and the fertilizer of human progress.
Socialism will not assume alarming
proportions, because the socialist HIM
self opposes the practical application of
its principles by his own political and
social aims and purposes. The under
lying principle of the worlds political
and social and business life is the right
to private ownership of property. In
dividual accumulation of wealth IS the
incentive behind invention, endeavor
and hope; selfishness and greed and av-
arice stimulate to greater effort, and in
dividualisn dominates everywhere and
in all things. Human needs increase as
popula ton increases and the struggle
for existence becomes fiercer. and as
needs increase individualism grows
law seeks to protect the property hold
ings of the individual against the phys
ical needs of the homeless. 1t is the
spirit of practical individualism that
rules the world, even if 1t does listen to
the song of theoretical socialism once
in a while.
Socialism seeks to have more equit-
able distribution Of the productions of
labor, but civil law, which is the law of
legitimate spoils of commercial war, and
denies that one could lay claim to that
which he has not himself acquired or
inherited. Community ownership and
labor expended for common benefit
obtained before there were fixed gov
ernments, but all such social organiza-
tions went to pieces the moment inter-
community trade and marriage rela-
tions were established, and Individual
ism became the energy behind the pur-
pose of every one. And, again, socialism
would have no rich nor no poor. There
would be a common level Of wealth, but
that would necessitate a common level
of intelligence, ambition and energy,
and as there could be no mental progress
under such conditions of existence, civ
ilization would have to stand still. So
cialism will DO for poets to dream about,
but individualism will govern the world.
