A FORGOTTEN POLICY

Thomas w. Lawson said at a dinner
in Boston, anent the insurance scan
dals:
"Our insurance companies have given
us policies of many kinds-deferred
payment policies, endowment policies.
mutual life policies, and so on--but 1
am afraid they have overlooked the
best policy of all. Honesty, you know,
is the best policy"
Mr. Lawson smiled and went on.
Honesty is always the best policy.
There was an insurance man here in
Boston years ago who found this out to
his cost. The cost was $125,
"a distinguished shipper in the China
trade once became alarmed about ship
of his. The ship was overdue. Day af-
ter day passed. Desperate at last, the
trader decided-marine insurance was
a novelty in those days-that he would
try to secure a policy on the missing
vessel
HE was promised policy, though at
a tremendous rate, of course. He was
promised the policy on Monday, and on
Tuesday he heard that his boat had
been wrecked, and her rich cargo lost
"As the policy had not yet been made
out, the trader, a very honest man, sent
a note around to the manager of the
insurance company, saying that if he
had not yet made out the policy he need
not do so, as the vessel had been heard
from.
But the manager suspected that the
merchant wanted to cheat him out of
the heavy premium involved and,
though the policy. really, could not be
made out for an hour or more, he at
once wrote. signed and dispatched a
letter TO the effect that the policy was
now in force, and it was too late to
cancel it.
This cost the manager just $125,000.
He had forgotten, in his hunger for new
business, the best policy of ALL

RoosEvELT's GALAXY OF LIARS

The president has said that many a
man is liar. He used the term freely,
sometimes In all its badness and at
other times as he did in the case of ex-

designated as "unqualihedly false" :"
These are some of the men he has ac-
cused of lacking in veracity:
Henry M. Whitney of Boston, who
he said lied about tariff conversation
with him.

NO DIVISION OF CALIFORNIA

Acting upon letter Of correspond
ence from some nisinformed or mali
cious person at san Jose, the Chicago
Tribune launches forth in learned
editorial against ana about q division
Of states dwelling particularly upon an
alleged movement In Los Angeles TO
divide California into two states.
1T Is Characteristic Of human ma
ture" says the Tribune, ito find the
citizens OF Los Angeles disposed TO
make some capital out Of the misfor-
tunes Of san Francisco"
1t seems Incredible, in face OF the
prompt and continuous help that Los
Angeles has extended to San Francisco.
that the neighboring towns Of the north
should arise out of the ashes Of their
semi-destruction with their hands filed
with bricks to heave at this city. Los
Angeles contributed at least half mill
lion dollars In money, was the first city
to get provisions to the helpless people
Of San Francisco. and for days and
nights did nothing else but extend aid
and sympathy
But the ink is not dry on these evil
dences of sincere friendship before oak
land, San Jose, Sacramento and other
towns lift up their heads-after their
stomachs have been flled-to belittlc
and traduce Los Angeles, just as they
did before the earthquake. Is Los An
geles, the fairest and greatest city in
California, not to be given credit for
anything?
If even a thought of the old question
of dividing California into two states
has recently occurred to anybody in
Los Angeles, it has not been expressed
within hearing of any newspaper office.
1t is about the last question that any
body with grain of sense would call
up at this time. 1t could have no bear
ing on the situation. 1t could not help
Los Angeles. 1t could not be accom-
plished. Please give the people of this
city credit for having few sparks of
intelligence If not of human sympathy
and common decency.
Far from Los Angeles being dis
posed to make some capital out of the
misfortunes of San Francisco" the very
reverse is true. Our merchants and
leading men have distinctly stated,
through the columns of The Herald,
that additional business would come
here Of necessity, and it must be taken
care of-not to the detriment of San
Francisco, but in very aid of San Fran
cisco, lest the trade should go to some
of the far northern ports.
There is a widespread inclination on
the part of our northern neighbors to
be continuously and maliciously unfair
to Los Angeles, the reason for which is
not very clear. If they had any state
pride they ought rather to be proud
of the achievements of this great city,
which have put California on the map
of the world and thereby enabled some
smaller towns to be occasionally heard
of. 1t is about time for California's s
northern cities to give Los Angeles a
chance at a square deal

AN HONEST CONFESSION

Republican statesmen have left to an
Indiana brother the credit of exempli-
flying the saying. in respect to the
tariff, that "An honest confession is
good for the soul" Congressman
Charles B. Landis of the Eleventh In
diana district is the man who has
earned the distinction in question.
Probably the influence of environment
has had something to do with the de-
velopment of Mr.. Lands character, as
we notice that he halls from the banks
of the Wabash. However that may be,
he is the first Republican statesman to
make the fat-footed confession that a
high protective tariff is bad for Amerf-
can buyers Of domestic manufactures,
but good for foreign buyers.
The member from the Wabash dis
trict was led to the disclosure by a
speech delivered some weeks ago by
Representative Rainey of Illinois. In
the course of his speech Mr.. Rainey
stated, as matter of personal knowl-
edge, that the watch trust has one line
of prices for the American trade and a.
lower lire of prices for the same goods
sold abroad. The discrimination is SO
great against American buyers on the
part of the watch trust, that it is said
there is fair profit in buying American
watches in Europe and importing them
to the United States
Mr. ToDJie g.,,L4
and discomfort of toughened protec-
tionists, not only admitted the dis
elimination charged by Mr.. Rainey but
proceeded with an argument to justify
it. He insisted that it is good business
policy to sell American wares abroad at
prices lower than are charged at home
in order to enlarge the scope of home
manufactures, thereby giving employ
ment to a greater number of workers.
This Wabash logic with the light of
common sense turned on it, reveals this
situation; OF the 9O,OOO,OOO American
people probably 10000 own watches. 1t
Is questionable whether 20 900 American
workers are employed in making
watches. Therefore, in order to stimu-
late the matchmaking industry, Mr..
Lands and his high tariff colleagues
would protect" the relatively few per-
sons concerned i'm that industry at the
expense Of the 100000 900 watch owners.
But the Wabash statesman struck a
snag in the course Of his speech. He
showed pictures of Coxey's tramp army
that marched to Washington several
years ago and encamped on the lawn
al the capitol. That condition, said Mr..
Lands. was i'm the last years OF
Democratic rule Representative VIII
liams the Democratic leader i'm the
house, Interrupted to remark that he
had walked through Coxey's army i'm
front Of the south entrance TO the capi-
toll and at that time the government
was still operating under the Mckinley
tariff and the revenues were being col
lected under that Republican measure. -
The statesman from the banks of the
Wabash is entitled to fun credit for the
honesty of his confession no matter
what may be said in disparagement OF
his discretion. Not only American
watches but nearly or quite all other
American manufactures salable abroad
are sold 10 foreigners away below the
prices paid for them In home markets.

WELl.BEHAVnp eIrlzENs

WELL-BEHAVHD CITIZENS
Now that La Fiesta for this year is
n matter Of history: that the thrones,
filled with a week Of revelry, are go
ing home, aud tile city Is once more
settling down to its ordinary routine,
IL seems hitting to congratulate the
community upon one feature or its
carnival spirit which, while passing
rather unobserved to its own people.
has excited the highest wonder and
praise from the strangers within bur
gates. That is the uniform good ma
ture, the freedom from brawls, the abb
senoe of viciousness that characterized
the great thronRs packed together for
this week OF FUN.
It is lameutable fact, but true.
nevertheless. that the American pub
lie, liberty loving above all others, is
yet en- massc the most prone to turn
that liberty into license. Very few
cities dare organize such great gem
eral frolics as Los Angeles has seen
OF late without preparations for a
saturnalla Of crime and outbreaks of
almost unoontrollable viciousness. New
York's every Sunday frolIc at Coney
Island always breaks up in drunken
row, requiring an army Of nolice and
resulting in harvest Of broken heads,
II not Of murders. Chlcago's slightest
excuse for general gathering eventu-
ates in crowded criminal dockets. In
other large eastern cities It is the same
way; augmented police forces are a
necessity and even the sternest meas
ures fail to assure public safety and
even life.
But in Los Angeles, this week of
revelry, how has It been? The ordi-
nary force of peace guardians has been
ample and has not been overworked.
Not an arrest has been made for q
single crime more serious than drunk
enness in the crowds of revelers. No
one has been assaulted, stabbed,
manned, shot or killed. None has
been trampled to death or hurt i'm any
way. Even the gathering of crowd
of 100000 at Venice, where there is only
a semblance of policing and where
license would be expected to run wild,
caused no sign of trouble whatever.
little roughness, few broken hats.
a free indulgence in confetti throwing
these were the limit; women rolled
baby filled buggies unharmed through
the throng and many girls frolicked
freely without even an insult.
1t was the greatest test to which the
spirit OF good natured fun was ever
put in Los Angeles and it stood the
test admirably Even the tremendous
homeward rush was unmarried by the
slightest trouble or harm to anyone.
What contrast to New Yorks bridge
rush, where women are crushed daily.
It's something in the climate of this
God-blessed region which makes even
its cosmopolitan populace gentlemen
and ladies at all times. It's in the air.
balmy and soft and inspiring. It's in
the sunshine that warns the very
cookies of ones heart and makes him
beam good nature and feel loving kind
ness toward all mankind. This is the
Fiesta land incarnate; the country of
fun and frolic. and the vicious, the
bloodthirsty, the villainous, can no
more flourish here than can a SNOWFALL
in the pitchy depths Of sheol.

1866. then 10 1850. then to 1924 At this
point the Gold Room saw resumption
Of the old days Men, wild with excite
ment. filled the air with howls ana
yells of rage. But the treasury came
TO the rescue with its enormous re-
serves of gold, and drove the price
down by its heavy offerings to 1S3 al
most at a leap. One of the CLIQUE
brokers kept bidding at the top price Of
the market long after everybody else
was buying at the low figures mem
toned, and between this curious source
of confusion, the enormous size of the
transa ctions and the complications
caused by the numerous failures which
were announced, It became impossible
for the gold clearing house to settle Its
accounts. After working all Friday
night. things were still inextricably
mixed. and on Saturday the gold board
could not meet. panic began on the
stock exchange, which was stopped by
the Intervention OF Commodore Vander-
bilt and other capitalists. Monday tho
Gold Room stlll remained closed; for
the clearing house clerks were over
whelmed with the task of trying to
straighten out a. business Of $500, 900, 900.
It was weeks before dealing was reg
ularly resumed, and the Investigations
and controversies occasioned by the
corner lasted much longer.
This was practically the end Of the
Gold Room The resumption Of specie
payments in 1873 put it entirely out of
business, as gold no longer commanded
premium. Brought into being by an
unnatural and disatrous set of cir
cumstances, II was an unnatural thing
