A Girl Private Secretary

The new private secretary to
Philadelphia's reform mayor is a
slip of a girl Her name is Marg-
aret Foerderer, her age is only
twenty-five and when she stepped
into the position that generally
goes only to diplomats or astute
male politicians, she was the first
woman who ever filed like place
in Pennsylvania,
Besides being very young Miss
Foerderor is very pretty, and
take nOtice--she is not a woman
suffraglst She is the kind of a
girl who runs to intelligence with.
out being mannish.
Primarily, the position of pri.
vate secretary requires tact and
practical knowledge. Miss Foer-
derer's predecessors had these
qualities developed so thoroughly
that all of them have stepped from
the $4,000 job in the mayors Office
to positions paying from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. When Mayor
Weaver appointed the girl to the
place left vacant by George A.
Welsh's rise, he said: "She's got
the tact and she's got the know.
ledge. She can deal with men.
If she wasn't a girl l think she
might be mayor some day herself

political tariff system of course is a
problem yet to be worked out.
AS to. any given commodity, whether
in a raw or manufactured condition,
its admission without duty, or it's ex-
clusiqn by one prohibitive, is strictly
economic and neither moral nor an
ethical question. In the matter of raw
material there always is a tendency to
talk nonsense to the gallery gods How
for example. would free cotton work
injury" to the cotton producers Of the
south? The United States produces
three-fourths OF the worlds cotton and
export 63 per cent of It, The southern
cotton producers enjoy natural mon
opoly of the article. The idea of pro-
tecting them from competition by the
'pauper labor of Europe" by means of
a prohibitive tariff on raw cotton, only
could be considered as an illustration of
American humor.

SOFT SOAP POLICY

~ ECRETARY TAFT, with his usual
jug-handled diplomacy, assured
~ the Japanese that the commercial
ism of the American press was respon-
sible for the "little cloud" between the
two nations, and ignored the people of
the Pacific coast and their wishes en-
tirely. The yellow press did not create
the instinct of enmity to the Japanese
which is common in the American
breast. The yellow press had nothing
Francisco or Chicago, and certainly had
nothing to do with the Bellingham in
cident, which was aimed at Japanese
as we'll as Hindus. If the conditions
resulting from the presence and compe-
tition of the Japanese were not in evil
dence the press-white or yellow-could
have no motive to talk.
If anyone is under the impression
that the Japanese question can be
settled by soft soap speeches an awak-
ening awaits them. The problem of
coolie labor of the Pacific coast was
here before the newspapers of America
or Japan had word to say about war.
The press of the Pacific coast has but
voiced the sentiment of the people.
There was vastly more commercialism
in Mr.. Taft's soft pedal speech than in
anything the American newspapers
have had to say.

spoRTsMEN ALERT

~ PORTSMEN report the best duck

of fortunate ones in Los Angeles will
enjoy duck dinners tonight, and hun
dreds of their friends, perhaps thou

The birds are increasing through pro-
lection. This is one of the RESULTS of
excellent laws and good enforcement.
All lovers of the gun are glad to note
these things. There is one question,
however, that constantly arises: What
disposition will be made of the 100000
or thereabouts made available by the
hunters license tax? Despite the op-
position of former commissioners who
declared not $1,000 would be- paid in on
such tax; despite the adverse report
of the fish and game committee of the
senate, the bill became a law and is
grand success. Sportsmen are obeying
what will be done with the money? The
act provides for 1.-The preservation,
propagation and Sestoration of the

sportsman go afield opening day and
find the quail coverts strewn with

the CASE There should be more deputy

CANADA'S EXAMPLE


IN ENIZENS of the Pacific coast states
can learn helpful lesson from
~ the benighted people Of British
Columbia in the matter of seeking
oriental coolie exclusion. The British
ers have got up great petitions to their
premier. and if these are not successful
they will appeal to the king, and mean
while they are preparing to oppose the
further landing of Objectionable immi-
grants, and by so doing give a power
full force to their petitions. With our
people it is different. Some few cowardly
ruffians beat and abuse defenseless men
and "rough-house" their homes and
then get drunk to celebrate the act
Where are our monster petitions to con-
gress? Where the chosen leader Of
public opinion on this vital subject?
Here is a chance for some member of
the California delegation at Washing
ton to get in and win the gratitude of
the people. Asiatic invasion of America
is a big question and will never be
settled until it is settled right. We
do not need a Dennis Kearney. but we
do need a discreet leader and should
have one now.

OUR CONGRATULATIONS

~ AN FRANCISCO Democrats showed
their honor and faith and good in
~ tent in nominating DR.. Edward
Robson Taylor for mayor of that city
and William H. Langdon for district
attorney The fight for reform in San
Francisco will come before election day.
The election of Mr.. Langdon can hardly
be doubted, but that the bribers and
boodlers of the stringhalted city will
give up without terrific battle is not
at all probable. If Ryan sees his op-
portunity and steps, aside at the right
moment DR.. Taylor's election is assured
and the saturnalia of graft will come to
an end. With the minority branch of
the Republicans supporting him and
the Endorsement of the non-partisans,
Mayor Taylor's chances would be con-
sidered good anywhere that trickery,
even to the point of kidnapping and
threats of MURDER was not rife in the
ranks of the malefactors who will sup
port the opposition.
The Herald extends it's congratuIa-
tions to the Democrats of San Fran
cisco for their choice. That the people
of that city should fail to see their
chance to throw off the yoke at this
opportune hour is unthinkable.

ECONOMIC oPHTHALMIA

4 LOCAL paper, commenting upon a
"a recent speech of the Hon. Henry
~ G. Whitney at a meeting of citi-
zens in Lawrence, Mass, criticises that
gentleman for his advocacy of tariff
revision on the occasion, and particu-
larly for Subtle suggestion" that
there should be free raw materials to
encourage manufacture. The writer
deplored the fact that there are more
'unsound Republicans" in Massachu-
setts than even in Iowa, and suspects
that they would be quite willing to see
the party Koran, the Dingley act,
amended in the interests of American
trade and progress and in line with the
reciprocity views of the late President
Mckinley, but to the destruction of one
of its purposes, which was to cover up
a multitude of sins and shams. Espe-
cially is our amiable neighbor scornful
of 1.-THE manufacturers of Massachu
setts," who undoubtedly would like to
have cotton, wool, hides and other raw
material which they use in their fac
tories admitted to the country free of
duty. 1t would result in no bene-
fit to any person except the stock
holders in the factories. 1t would work
injury to the sheep growers and cattle
raisers OF the western states and terri
tories and to the cotton producers of
the south"
Certainly no patriotic citizen can
wish anything so dismal to happen, and
there is no apparent desire anywhere
to remove from the tariff system fair
and reasonable protection to American
producers. The contention is that the
''protection' afforded by the Dineley
act is not always beneficial to the Sec
tions, interests and industries it pre-
tends to encourage ana foster, that it
has become obsolete in view Of changed
conditions and that speedily 1t must be
supplanted by a tariff law more in ac-
cordance with present commercial and
industrial necessities il our agricultural
pastoral and industrial surpluses are
to escape prohibitive treatment in for
eign markets. How to accomplish such

WIN, OR WATERLOO

IN URING the shameful days of San
Francisco's past history it was
always in the power of one man
to rise and set the city right with the
will of the people, and because he did
not do so the whole array of damning
facts now in evidence resulted. This
mans name is Eugene Schmitz and he
is now deservedly in a felon's CELL
Time and opportunity unite to pre-
sent similar condition, though differ
ing widely in detail to one other man
to arise to the call of the hour and free
San Francisco from the dread possi-
bilities of the probable success of the
Mccarthy -Schmitz-R -Ruef- Calhoun ele-
ment in the coming election. That
mans name is Ryan, and he is the can
didate of the Republican element of the
people for mayor.
The Herald valves all party consid-
erations in advocating the withdrawal
of Mr. Ryan in favor of Mayor Taylor,
because it is as certain as political re-
suits are known to be in like circum-
stances that if Ryan and Taylor both
are in the race Mccarthy, with his fol-
lowing of Calhoun, cash and cussed-
ness, will be elected mayor of San
Francisco; and it is doubtful even If
Langdon can win.
There can be no question of the sue
cess of Mayor Taylor and Mr.. Langdon
If they have the support of the So
called Lincoln Roosevelt faction of the
Republicans, and if the men of that
faction desire the people of California
to believe their protestations of nom
political animus in regard to affairs in
San Francisco they should get hook
on Ryan and yank him off the stage.
If they try and fail to do this they will
have met defeat more helpful to their
future movements than many question
able victories could be.
If partisan prejudice shall ask that
the Democratic candidate withdraw in
favor of Mr.. Ryan we answer that
Taylor and Langdon must hang to-
gether if the Mccarthy push is to be
defeated, and that Mr.. Ryans name
does not lend strength but weakness to

expects that sentiment will count for
anything in the coming election is un-
fitted to cope with the situation. Mr..
Ryan will represent the merchants ele-
ment, that made the teamsters' strike
and other troubles SO notorious and re-
suited in the election of Schmitz, but
he will not and does not now represent
that great section of Republicans who
would pass party fealty now as
measure of expediency and insure good
government at all costs. Mayor Taylor
suits these men, and Mr.. Ryan does
not. 1t is wise then and earnestly to
be sought for, that some strong in
fiuence be put upon Mr. Ryan to get
him to throw his forces to Mayor Tay-
lor, and thus insure the circumventing
Of Calhoun, cash and cussedness. Mr..
Ryan alone, of all men in San Fran
cisco, can effect this desirable end. Mr.
Tilden, Democrat, yielded the presi-
dency to keep law and order. Will Mr..
Ryan follow his example?

covered a little yellow pimple on one

had better take her to some eye spe-

went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and

were nearly discouraged, but thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
so | purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm

had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight but If we had

woman. Brave, witty and honorable
she could bring splendid young
Americans into the world A short
time after she arrived among us, her

then, the rent fell behind. The land.
lord called for it one day in her hus-
bands absence. He listened to the
young woman's tale of misfortune, re-
garding the while her yellow hair,
her clear blue eyes, her red mouth
and white teeth. Suddenly, bending
toward her. he said:
