VOTE ON THE LOUD BILL

The Loud postal bill is the special order

to the last roll call. Its endorsement by
the National Editorial association, for
tunately for the reputation of that body

that the opposition to the bill has come
wholly from another quarter, and that
the better class of journals all over the
country have commended it as not only
a worthy. but at the same time an essen
tial reform. AS business men, the news
paper publishers of the United States
recognize the absurdity of further COM
pelling the government to spend forty
three millions annually upon the trans
portation of a class of mail matter that
yields but three millions in revenue. The
newspapers of the country do not care to
be classed as beneficiaries in any such
robbery of the people, and the elimina-

THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM

The Sacramento Record Union and the
San Jose Mercury are waging war on
the grand jury system, which they call a
relic of former ages, that does little good
and much harm. The Record Union
says:
The grand jury has offered many a
man the chance to wreak some small
spite upon an enemy in private or pub
lie life, without giving that enemy a
chance TO defend himself, or to show up
the motive underlying the assault on
his character or official acts. 1t has
enabled many an INSCRIPTIONS office
seeker to build up a cheap reputation
for honesty and good citizenship at the
expense of his betters, by affecting the
role of reformer and lodging criti-
cism against some more successful po-
litical rival, the effectiveness of which
would lie in the fact that it had man
aged to worm its way into the formal
grand jury report. 1t made no differ
ence that the criticism was baseless;
the harm was done, and the revengeful
and envious juror who had fathered it
rested safe in the obligation of secrecy
which bound the acts of the Jurors.
On the other hand. the grand jury un-
doubtedly exposes and helps to punish
much crime that would otherwise go un-
punished. The Herald does not believe
the assumption that the grand jury is
used principally for the manipulations
of unscrupulous politicians is borne out
by the facts.
If the grand jury system Is abolished,
what would take it's place? The dis
trict attorneys Office has been sug-
gested, but surely that office is as sub
ject to political influences as is the grand

THE BooDLERs' OWN DEFENDER

The San Francisco Call has rushed to
the defense of the Rainey crowd in San
Francisco, much the same as it dis
charged it's mud batteries in the cause
of the Solid Six and ex-Boss Webb in
Los Angeles. 1t declares that Rainey
can no more be held responsible for the
corruption in local Democratic politics
in San Francisco than Mayor Phelan or
any other of the Democratic leaders.
And what is the foundation for this as
sertion? The Call, after saying that the
Democratic party as a whole must be
held responsible, says:
1t is true that the Phelan Democ-
racy, which now endeavors to make out
that Rainey is responsible for all the
boodling which has lately taken place
at the city hall, has generally opposed
the policy of the solid Eight" and
"Solid Nine" But it may be ques-
toned whether this opposition has been
due to its inherent virtue. The fact
probably is that Colonel Sullivan and
his politicians are now bowling for
good government mainly because
Boss Rainey has had the offices for two
years.
There's logic for you! The Call, after
deploring the Raineyites, turns to rend
the reform element of the Democratic
party, and then, to cap the climax, ad-
mits that these same reform Democrats
have opposed the policy and acts of the
city hall boodlers.
AS matter of fact, the Call is utterly
selfish in every move it makes. 1t de-
fends the Doodle element in the Demo-
cratic party, and attempts to play it
against the reform element in the hope
Of making a little political capital for
itself. What the city wants." says the
Call, 'is clean Republican administra-
tion throughout" That is just what San
Francisco will not get if it follows the
Call. Cleanliness, of any political shade,
is something that paper noes not keep
in stock.

Tuesday what was the surprise Of the
people to see the entire force of Electric
railway employees turn out to vote the
regular ticket.
The funny part of the program was
that the company showed it's hand
when there was no necessity for it to do
so. The ticket was sure Of election in
any event. Had the company not been
so eager, and remained inactive, it pos
sibly might have turned its men out in
force at the election in April and as
sisted materially in electing the straight
Republican ticket.
The platform of the Republican ma
chine Of Pasadena is now formed. 1t
will not be necessary for its municipal
convention to form one. If it should put
forth one no one would believe it, for
actions are more forcible than words
The Republican machine now intends
to give the Electric Railway company
monopoly of transportation and lighting
facilities. No other companies need ap-
ply.
The great majority of Republican vot-
ers at Pasadena do not endorse the ac-
tions Of the machine. 1t is too late now
for them to correct this abuse of power
within the party. They must do it at
the polls by voting against the machine
ticket.
The patriotic citizens of Pasadena, re-
gardless of political affiliations-Repub-
licans, Democrats, Populists. Prohibit
tionists and Silver Republicans-will all
unite in a citizens movement for an hon
est and progressive management of the
affairs of that city-a management that
will give all transportation and light
ing corporations fair show to assist
in building up the beautiful city at the
crown of the valley.
Competition is the life Of trade, and
Pasadena needs it in transportation and
other matters.
