WHITEsTONE'S IDOL SMASHED
Popula" Neighbor of PuritanicaI Col
ony Proves to Be Burglar
and Is Caught

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The quiet
colony of ultra respectable residents of
Whitestone. L. l., We're more than as
tonished today when they learned that
their apparently prosperous. refined
and affable -neighbor, Frederick Mon
tague Hoyt, was professional burglar
of great skill and that, too, his picture
Is in the rogues' gallery. He had
served sentences in various prisons.
AS Frederick Montague Hoyt he has
passed as a designer of interior decora-
ton, an art, he neglected to inform
them, was taught him in the Elmira re-
formatory, but they classed him with
Stanford White as a creator of beauty
in buildings and he permitted them to
do so.
1t was remarked that he spent many
nights away from his comfortable home
at "a Fourteenth street. Whitestone,
but that was expected. OF course. he
was a member of clubs in the city.
The shock to Whitestone came when
Detectives Wiley and Jackson called
at Hoyt's home and found about $4,000
worth of jewels and gems which had
been stolen from the home of Mrs
T. J. McKenna of West End avenue.

the country around have presented
themselves with teams and wagons to
aid the women to gather the crops or
to plow up more land, but they have
refused such offers. They want to win
out alone.
Within seven months they have con-
verted an unforbidding wild prairie
into a smiling garden. They have tur-
nips to sell, and their potatoes are said
to be the best ever grown on sod land.
Their corn is small, but will do to feed
the two cows they are determined to
purchase this fall The cabbage and
peas and other vegetables they raised
this year are the best ever grown on
the new land in that part Of South
Dakota.
Mrs. Fredericks and her daughter are
remarkable in many respects. Both
had practically spent their lives in the
heart of city. Neither ever had the
slightest experience on the farm OIL
in a garden. 1t is doubtful if they ever
grew a flower or planted vegetable
until they came here, without means
and without friends. They now have
both. Every man and woman within
100 miles of these two homesteads are
their friends, and their two quarter
sections of land are said by many men
to be worth $4,000 each.

PERSONIFIED RIOT AND ROT

Whatever the general result of to-
days election in California may be, one
specific result is assured. That is the
complete elimination of Hearstism as
potent factor in the politics of the
state.
Hearst was summarily cast out of
the Democratic party by the Sacra-
mento convention, and henceforth he
will be a political pariah. His present
status in the politics of his native state
was consummately defined by Chair
man Spellacy OF the state Democratic
committee in that telegram to The
chairman of the similar committee in
New York. Mr.. Spellacy said:
"In California Hearst's papers maIign
our party; he strives to nOurish the In
dependence league on the blood of n
destroyed Democracy, and California
Democrats plead with the Democrats of
New York to rid our party of riot and
rot by repudiating William II. Hearst
nt the polls next Tuesday"
There could be no more fitting char
acterization of Hearst than is presented
in that whitening excoriation by Chair
man Spellacy. Hearst is therein Off
cially branded by the executive head
of the Democratic party in California
as the embodiment of riot and rot"
Language could not be more express
sive, nor in its application to Hearst
could it be more truthful.
The element of riot" thus pointed
out relates to the spectacle presented
by Hearst and his newspapers as in
citers of trouble between labor and
capital, together with the underlying
object of producing a political and
social upheaval calculated to elevate
Hearst to the presidential chair.
The element of rot" relates to the
methods employed in the string of dis
reputable yellow newspapers to lower
tie standard of American Journalism
to the level of base sensationalism anC
social debauchery which Hearst anC
his newspapers have attained.
Riot and rot" have been the sol'
constituents of Hearst's infamous no
toriety from the beginning of his ca
reer in journalism and politics. HI
has inspired the most vicious classes
given aid and encouragement to crime
and has gone to the length OF exciting
anarchy. The assassination of Presi
dent Mckinley is traceable directly Il
such teachings as come from the riot
feature of Hearst's yellow newspapers
Riot and rot" Hearst has received
his quietus in California. and today m
win receive his just deserts in New
York If the voters of that state ar,
fit to be at large outside OF insan,
asylum walls.

LEST VIE FORGET

on this morning Of the election II is
timely to recall The Herald's political
apothegm-"The people deserve Just
what they get in the management Of
their public affairs"
That saying pertains, Of course, to
the people Of a free country, and Is ap-
plicable especially to the people of the
United states. Our public officials are
constitutionally the servants Of the peo-
pie, no matter to what degree the Off
cials may dominate their legal masters
in practice.
Every American official, from presi-
dent of the republic to village consta-
BILE, holds his position by virtue of the
public will. He is employed by the peo-
pie, either directly or indirectly, and
there is provision for dispensing with
his services, either by regular electoral
process or by summary procedure, If
necessary.
With this popular power in the con-
troll of official management goes re-
sponsibility for the class of men Sc
lected to manage public affairs. The
gravity of that responsibility is rela-
lively the same as that which a busi-
ness firm feels in regard to the selec-
tion of employees for important posi-
tions. No business firm would think
for a moment of employing a man of
doubtful character or questionable ca
pability. No community should for a
moment think of such thing.
The Herald apothegm should be con-
sldered seriously this morning by every
reader of the paper. The election to-
day involves official control of state
and county affairs at time when
public interest calls for the highest
type of official management. The pro-
gress and prosperity of the state, es-
pecially of our own southland, depend
largely on their fidelity and efficiency
of control in public matters. Here in
Los Angeles city and county, particu-
larly, we are starting upon a greater
era of expansion and improvement, the
success of which necessarily requires
honest and competent direction.
No reader of The Herald can doubt
that public interests in both state and
county demand the overthrow of the
power that for years has dominated
every section of the state. Every read
er knows that the power in question
the S. P. railway and Republican ma
chine combine-is inimica1 to public in
terests. No intelligent voter can plead
ignorance of that fact. The Herald has
made the whole situation as familiar
as the alphabet during the campaign
which is now closed.
There will be no excuse for post-elec-
ton regrets or "kicks." "As you make
your bed so shall you lie."
1.-THE people deserve just what they
get in the management of their public
affairs" Vote to give the people of
California generally and of Los Ange-
les particularly, what they deserve-an
end of official control by the combine
and the S. P. machine.

THE AMENDMENTS

In marking the blanket-like ballot to-
day voters should not be discouraged
before coming to the constitutional
AMENDMENTS. There are fourteen Of
them, and each has an important bear
ing on the fundamental law Of Cali
fornla. AS general distinction Il may
be said that about half ire commend
able, from the public standpoint, and
| half Objectionable. 1t is important,
therefore. that voters take particular
notice of the points involved in the
whole group Of proposed amendments.
The attention Of Herald readers is
called especially to these amendments.
The first is special and unimportant
The one which appears in the second
place on the ticket should be adopted
1t aims to equalize and fix salaries OF
justices OF the supreme and appellate
courts. Vote YES.
The third amendment on the ticket
provides for increasing the salaries of
the governor and other state officials.
Most voters believe that such officials
are getting all they are worth. Vote
NO.
The fourth one authorizes public
bonds ito be made payable at any place
within the United States" It's adoption
would facilitate the sale Of bonds. Vote
YES.
The fifth authorizes any city having a
freeholders' charter to frame a new
one. Now such charters can only be
patched, like that Of Los Angeles, which
looks like crazy quilt. Vote YES.
The sixth permits city charters to
fix the tenure of office and methods of
Dismissal of officials. Vote YES.
The seventh provides for increased
present that official gets all he earns.
Vote NO.
The eighth authorizes corporations to
extend their charters for period of
not more than fifty years. Objection
able as to public service corporations.
Vote NO.
The ninth permits the deposit of state,
county and municipal funds in national
and state banks. A wise provision,
under ample safeguards. Vote YES.
The tenth relates to 1.-The length of
legislative sessions and the expense of
legislative employees" 1t is an open
door to graft. Vote NO.
The eleventh provides for special
legislation in San Francisco. So does
the twelfth. Consider each carefully.
The thirteenth relates to contracts
for the payment of taxes or assess
ments on money loaned and on mort
cages, deeds of trust and other liens"
The purpose is to allow Californians to
borrow money outside the state, which
is now prevented by the state mort
gage tax. Vote YES.
The fourteenth allows San Francisco,
San Jose and Santa Clara to "ircur in
debtedness which shall run for not more
than >seventy-five years" Vote YES.
