GREATER lNTFRURBAN TRANsIT

Almost directly following the return
Of II. =. Huntington from New York
the report is given out that the east

The Huntington proposition. as un-

the interurban electric line all the more

Los Angeles and the eastern edge Of

of the highest mountains. eighty miles

are supplied with steam railway SER
vice afforded by three great railway
systems. The interurban electric ser.
vice however, will in addition give two
advantages that are sure to be highly
appreciated-a time schedule handy at

uNcAnNY SENSITIVE PLANT

"Uncanny," said a globe trotter. lis
the splendid and fourshing sensitive
plant Of Ceylon. This plant causes you
to wonder if plants, like us. can't feel
pain, and think and grieve.
1--WE were seated in white linen
clothes, under the palms of our host s
garden beyond Colombo. We had just
breakfasted. and the native servants
We're handing about coffee and liquors.
"'What plant is that?' said l.
A mimosa, or sensitive plant my
host answered, and he s.dded, turning
to his little daughter:
Go, dear, and kiss the mimosa'
THE child obeyed. Then she came
back to us gleefully. The plant had not
shrunk from her fresh young touch.
Not a leaf had quivered.
Now you go and kiss it, said our
host TO me.
II advanced. / put out my hand.
And my hand 10 sooner touched the
mimosa than Il shivered and the leaves
wilted as though frost bitten.
The plant knows my daughter our
host explained, but you are stranger
TO It.

The trend of popular sentiment
toward William Jennings Bryan APP
pears so strong and so widespread
that it seems almost to rise above
party. Democracy is a unit for him,
and other elements are beginning to
declare for him in such numbers that
it would not be surprising to see Bry-
an elected by a tidal wave exceeding
that for Roosevelt in 1904.

DEMOCRACY AND SOCIALISM

I
A growing idea IN the minds Of some
shallow thinkers was touched upon by
William J. Bryan IN the course Of an
interview Following his arrival IN Ber-
lin The idea IN question Is that DEM
ocracy and Socialism, as seen in the
United States. are approaching coaes-
cence by a sort Of mutual attraction.
And further expansion Of that idea
would lead to tho conclusion that the
merging OF Democracy and Socialism Is
merely a question Of time.
a master mind, that Of Mr.. Bryan,
has briefly and clearly drawn the line
Of distinction between Democracy and
Socialism. He tells in the German
capital. for the public ear on both sides
OF the Atlantic, how broad Is the gulf
that separates the two fundamental
principles.
Democracy" says Mr.. Bryan "rec-
ognizes competition as Legitimate and
tries to protect the competitive prin-
ciple from attack: Socialism sees COM
petition as an evil to be eliminated by
public ownership and operation OF all
means of production and distribution" &"
Therefore. he concludes that while this
distinction between Democracy and So
cialism cannot be overlooked, the DEM
ocratic platform must be one of prog
ress and reform, and not merely Of
opposition to Republican policies or So
cialistic ideas"
| This lucid statement of the basic diff
ference between Democracy and Social
ism will serve a useful purpose now
coming as IL does from the foremost
American student of political economy.
The steady growth of Socialism in the
United States, within recent years, has
6ignified the principles on which 1t is
founded to the extent of commanding
the respect of the greater political par
ties. The Socialism thus recognized,
| however, is not of the kind which in
parts of Europe is closely allied to An
archism. The kind of Socialism which
has made progress here, as indicated
| by Mr.. Bryan, aims to reach the po-
ltical millennium by way of a compre-
hensive system of public ownership and
operation.
Socialism sees competition as an
evil Democracy recognizes COM
petition as legitimate" That is the gist
of Mr., Bryan's distinction. Both of
the assumptions are qualified, however.
1t is explained that Socialism aims to
eliminate the evil of competition by
public ownership, while Democracy
strives to protect the competitive prin-
| ciple from attack.
Only on the border of the principle
of public ownership are there indica-
tions of coalescence between Democracy
and Socialism. The Democratic party
benefits derivable, in certain circum-
stances, from public ownership and
control of utilities. But that recogni-
ton is within narrow Limitations. For
| instance, Los Angeles Democrats
recognize the advantage of municipal
control and operation of the public
water system, but they are far from
wishing to follow that lead into un-
known labyrinths.
Socialism is largely theoretical
while Democracy is intensely practical
The principles of the former have been
tested only tentatively in America,
while it was upon the principles of
| Democracy that the foundation of the
American government was laid and
upon which was reared the splendid
structure that comes nearest to govern
mental perfection.

Indiana Republican editors declare
for Roosevelt to succeed himself. 1t
may come to that. The Republican
party is utterly barren of great lead
ers, and it would not turn to Roosevelt
if it had anyone else in view. With
Bryan as the Democratic nominee,
Roosevelt on the other side seems to
be the logic of the situation. But Bry-
an will be elected, just the same

MARcoNl VS.. SLANG

TO wire in the sense of to tele-
graph is a phrase passing into disuse,"
said an electrician. where ten men
used to say they'd wire all but one
have dropped the new word in the
last ten years, and gone back to the
old word telegraph again.
What is the cause of that change
in our speech? What is the cause OF
the decay of verb so terse, direct and
charming as to wireT Marconi. young
Guglielmo Marconi is the cause.
Since 1895 more and more kilograms
have been sent without wires. More
and more firmly has the world become
convinced that in the future wires will
be practically useless in telegraphy,
Just as sails are already almost useless
In navigation.
Because the wire is no longer the es-
sential factor of telegraphy, the verb
to wire has begun to disappear"

Away back in January The Herald
said that Bryan would be the logical

have ceased trying to remember their
names.
