A man changing his political afiin

nercenary motives or political as
pirations- aspirations which his own
party have failed to appreciate. At

parties that look of incredulity gen.

that his desertion Of party is based
solely upon his convictions. Proba-
bly, no influence has been so potent a
factor in controlling votes as that
welded by the employer over the
employee. So far reaching is this
form Of corruption that even in

ROUTING CITRUS FRUITS

Anxiety is manifested among ora nge
growers and shippers because OF con-
strI ction put upon the new railway
rate law bH- the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway managers
The discerning veteran who controls
these lines, James J. Hill, is reported
as interpreting the new law to mean
that the routing privilege to shippers
is not consistent with the act 1t
seems that the new law provides that
all shipments must declare "the name
of the consigned and the exact des-
tina tion, and the carriers must make
delivery accordingly"
Acting upon this understanding, 1t is
said that the railway companies boVe
referred to have ordered their agents
ito discontinue iverting shipments OF
lum Der while en- route The routing
of lumber cars on those lines has been
in vogue just as the practice has re-
emily obtained in the shipment of
ora nges. AS there is no a apparent diff
ference in the two cases the Inference
is drawn that it will not be allowable
for orange shippers to divert conSign-
ments in transit.
But there certainly is a wide differ
ence between lum Der and citrus fruit
shipments in the equita bic aspect of
the situation here presented. Lumber
is a nom Perishable commodity, while
oranges are, perhaps, the most perish
able of all products in the process Of
shipment. Again, while lumbeFis sub
ject to fiuctuatiOn of value, often
IA ther sharply, as we now perceive
in Los Angeles the orange market is
more variable than eathercock.
The routing privilege in respect to
lumber, therefore, would seem to be Of
privilege of marketing 10000 carloads
of oranges to best advantage And,
again, the lumber operator has no incl
dental expenses in his shipments, while
the orange shipper is mulcted heavily
every day of a cars transit for refrig-
orator service and icing.
There is no specific provision of the
rate law covering the matter of rout-
ing. That is a subject on which the
interstate commerce commission will
have to pass and then reduce to a rule.
1t is hardly probable that any ruling
will result so obviously harm full to
citrus fruit interests as would be the
stoppage of the routing privilege.

CUBAN HORNETS NEST

Is the United States monkeyinG with
the hornets nest from which Spain
luckily escaped eight years ago?
That question is fast assuming a very
serious form, The secretary of war
and a representative of the state de-
partment are engaged in an effort to
pacify the Cuban hornets, but the out
look Is not encouraging. Even IL ap-
parent pacifcation is achieved. it is
quite probable that the nest will show
renewed agitation when the Amer-
can ENJOYS Withdraw
The history Of Cuba shows that dur
ing the last sixty years. at least, the
Cuban people have been as prone tc

the other southern republics, the Gu

LABOR VOTE FOR BELL

The action of the Union Labor con-
vention San Francisco in declining to
nominate a state ticket is wort hy of
special notice. While it was deemed
inexpedient to formulate a ticket, the
convention adjourned and transit ormed
itself into polit ical club, after which
it nominated Theodore A. Bell for
governor.
There are two suggestive points con-
nected with the step thus taken by the
Union La Dor party of California. The
first is the utter ignoring of Hearst and
his renegades. and the second is the
assurance that the organized labor vote
of the state will be cast for the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor.
Hearst has heretofore assumed a sort
of propri etary right to control the labor
vote, regarding it as his most valuable
political and newspaper asset In ig-
noring his pretension at this time the
Union Lab Dor party of California leaves
h.m without a prop of political support
aside from the class of followers who
are attracted solely by the flow from
the Hea rst barrel"
III the campaign four years go Par
dee made the la Dor vote "a leading OBJ
ject in all his spellbmding Efforts. The
willy doctor courted the worl<ingmcn
with the ardor of II young lover, and it
must be said, to the credit of his politi-
cal tact. that his counting was effective.
1t is known, anyway. that he secured
a considerable vote as a result of the
apparently deep interest he felt in the
| cause of labor, and especially his free
and easy comningling with the
| workers.

by manual labor are iinpelled now, by
individual and public consid erations
to cast their votes according to the
sugges tion of the Union Labor conven-
tion. AS between the Republican can
