Fair Plays Ideas

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald
I have read with a great degree OF inter-
est your editorial in Thursdays Herald
entitled "Mr. Gage and His Candidacy"
and have been much interested in COM
pairing 1t with the leader of the same date
in the Los Angeles Times. entitled MIR.
Cages Nomination. -.,.....
AS l read these two editorials and OBJ
served how fairly Mr.. Gage was treated
personally in your remarks, how you re-
ferred to him as a man who by dints OF
ability, hard work and persistency has
made his way to leading place at the
bar and is known throughout the state as
a successful lawyer" supplementing this
statement with other remarks no less COM
plimentary. thought how fair, how rea-
sonable is The Herald's treatment Of Its
opponent.
Picking up the Times I then read Its
reference to Mr.. Cages candidacy, and no.
ticed that incidentally the editor took &C.
casion to refer TO his distinguished op-
ponent, Judge Mcguire. This is the Ian
guage used: ........ .,., r
There are thousands Of Democrats
in California whose principles will not
permit them 10 vote for Mcguire, the
polygot candidate, the tattooed man,
who has been all things unto all men,
according as he was led by his peculiar
Ideas OF political expediency.
AS a humble citizen and voter, would
be interested in seeing printed in the COL
umns OF The Herald between now and cleo
ton day communications from doubtful
voters who have finally decided to vote for
the Democratic nominee just because Of
the unfair treatment he receives from such
papers as the Times. I say, granting ali
things to be equal, and that voter does
not know how to cast his vote, does 1t not
seem reasonable that fair-minded voter
would decide to vote for distinguished
gentleman like Judge Mcguire because of
such vilification and unfair treatment? 1t
would seem to me If Mr.. Gage is wise he
would pray to be protected against such
support from now until election day. II
such treatment is continued here is one
Republican who will vote for Mcguire, II
he does not do It for other reasons. Iwould
be interested in hearing from others on
the subject. FAIR PLAY.

Many women have caught up the habit
of carrying their keys about with them.

such lovely gold. silver and black steel key

the ring by which you can fasten the whole

THOSE BELLS OF PEACE

Thase bells of peace! Those bells Of peace!
Winds gave their melody Increase,
And hearts that sank that April day
Arose again like birds at play.
Those April bells spoke but Of wrath,
OF dragons In fair Freedoms path,
And heralded the passing by
OF boys in blue to do or die.
A wild alarm, those April bells
That ghostlike yet In memory dwells,
Or ever stalks with Bonded head,
Lamentng the heroic dead.
For blood has flowed, and spirits brave
Have left their easements to the grave:
While homes untouched have trembled,
qi'i dumb , IRE ft5r- ur- II *. ..t.
with dread Of news that next might come.
And SO, as August bells ring out,
Each stroke is joys own merry shout,
And smiles come, chasing dread away,
Inviting thoughts to holiday.
O, bells Of peace! o, bells Of peacel
Ring, ringl For Cuba finds release,
And to the Islands Of the sea ,.gi
In strength comes glorious Liberty!
o, hags the blue-clad legions bore,
Float 10 the breezes evermore
And may your music never cease,
Sweet bells Of peace, sweet bells Of pea CO.!

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE, MONDAY. FEB. 81.
. ruougEm roR DEMOCRATS.

There are signs Of revolt IN the Demo
cratic marty from the fusion effected
last Friday. Prominent Democrats
have not hesltated to express their re-
sentiment at the contemptuous treat
ment they were obliged % suffer at tn
hands Of the Pcpulists during the SEES

pituiation Of the convention after the
stout professions Of the delegates that

head Of the ticket
We do not assume 10 offer advice &
Democrats. nor 20 point 20 them any
way out Of their humillating dilemma
The remedy. il there IA enc, remains
with them. and they must seek and find
their own salvation We suppose it has
occurred to them that the local Demo
cratic party Ia lis present position
stands for no principle and that the
natural and unavoidable consequence
of continued fusion with the Populisls
on terms absolutely laid down by them
must be destruction % Democratic au-
tonomy and final absorption Of the rank
and file Of their party by the newer
organization. East az the Mississippi
river. the Democratic party has. with

Expert authority. in Its search for a
conclusion that VIII exculpate the Span
ish name. is now veerius around to the
opinion that it was the explosion Of a
boiler that caused the Maine disaster.
Expert authority does not always find it
necessary TO be in accord with experience
and common sense. Waving the point that
boilers at half steam do not blow up, there
has been notable absence in the Maine
episode OF the usual effects OF a catas-
trophe Of that kind, the most conspicuous
of which Is the Scalding Of the victims by
hot water. We haya nowhere seen It
stated that any Of the dead or wounded
sailor men suffered from contact with
boiling water. \ reasonable theory Is that
the Maine was purpOseiy placed by the
Spanish over torpedo or a mine. 50 that,
in case OF emergency. or the breaking out
Of hostilit!es she could be rendered hors
De combat; and some one either parposely
or accidentally turned on the electric cur

as they are IN the United States" There
is a strong element OF truth in what the
News-A Advertiser says. and there is a sem
tlment in this country that. under certain
circumstances. the mining laws ought 10

BY the remark he made coupling Span
ism policy in Cuba with the loss Of the
Maine He said: We have waited IN
til the series OF calamities has been
crowned by the Maine catastrophe with
It's loss Of 257 American lives" This is
a clear inference that the loss Of the
Maine had some connection with Span
ish policy. we shall be placed in most
humillatlng position IL it should be
proved beyond reasonable doubt that
the misfortune was due TO an accident
OF our own causing.
We have need just now Of the calm
est judgment and. indeed. unusual
shrewdness We have no need in the
inquiry which is to -be made OF porten-
tous old women, who mix up an eclipse
with a murder In a village and regard
them as evidences alike Of Divine dis
pleasure. When We know that we have
cause TO condemn Spain we shall not
need the services Of fat and fussy old
gentlemen who get hot in the collar
and perspire with the vehemence Of
their physical Commissions. nor Of states
men who are ready To flourish their
arms and English language in threats
Of bloody war at every opportunity.
We are placed as nation in a most
delicate and trying position Spain
knows that We suspect her. but neither
the authorities nor the people at large
even know whether our suspicious are
justified or not. The people in Madrid
know as little about whether the Maine
was sunk by a Spanish torpedo or as
the result of spontaneous combustion
as the people OF a village in Iowa do.

the government Of the United States
