HOW is IT PossrsLEa

TN a recent issue of the London
Times "A Gentleman Farmer
= relates an experience which points
a moral to Americans. Having need
of water on his property he decided to
install windmill to pump it. Consult
ing circulars and price lists, he found
the best offer that of London firm
acting for Scotch manufactures"
He gave his order and received, as he
says. "a thoroughly good article at q
lower price than any competitors. +"
But he discovered that the Scotch man
ufacturer was myth, for the wind
mill had been made and packed in Illi-
nois and he took it out of the original
package. Again. he was in need of a
moving machine, land finally selected
one offered by the Army and Navy
stores, the cheapest and, as it has
proved, the best could possibly have"
But this was packed. in case marked
"Newburgh, N. "
The point which should be impressed
upon Americans is, not that any Of our
finished products are any better, in the
eyes of English purchasers, than those
made i'm Great Britain, but that they
are sold there at prices so low that
competition on the part OF the British
manufacturer is practically impossible.
If "a Gentleman Farmer" had pressed
his inquiries a little further he would
have discovered that not only are these
American-made goods sold in Great
Britain at figures lower than those
which would have to be placed upon
British made articles, if the latter were
to be sold at profit. but that they are
also sold in that country for very much
less than is asked for them in the coun-
try where they are produced. In many
cases the retail price of American-made
goods in England is far below the price
asked of the jobber by the manufac-
turer.
When we know that high "protec-
tive tariff is assessed against the
American purchaser of moving ma
chine. or windmill, or a gasoline
engine. or a joint of iron pipe; and
when we know, also, that any one of
these articles, made in America, may
be purchased in Great Britain or Mexico
for less than the lowest asking price in
this country, the problem presented by
"a Gentleman Farmer" is relieved of
all complexities.

WANTS INSANE ALIEN
DEPORTED AT ONCE

Application was made yesterday by
Prosecuting Attorney Ford to United
States Attorney Lawler to have John
Jahl, German, deported as an insane
alien.
The incident which led to this action
was the behavior of Jahl, who was ar
rested Wednesday for threatening the life
of Josephine Bauman in Rosedale ceme-
terry.
Queer actions of the man have come
under hte notice of Superintendent Von-
derlow of the cemetery, who says Jahl
has been making his courting head
quarters there and offers to marry num-
erous German girls who happen along
When refused the man becomes enraged
and threatens the victims of his suit.

JUST SUPPOSE

HI EhE are some pertinent ques-
III tions, with a direct focal applica-
- ton, for the consideration of each
of those few bank depcsitors of Los
Angeles who may be feeling more OF
less apprehensive concerning the safety
|of the money held for them by a bank
or trust company of this city:
Suppose. to begin with, that you pos
|sessed property worth $25.OOO, abso-
lutely free from incumbrance in any
form. Suppose that instead Of leaving
in some bank quantity OF cash imme-
diately available, you had deemed it
best to invest practically all your funds
in good, safe securities. Suppose that
some merchant to whom you were
indebted In the sum of, say, 5000, sud-
denly precipitated himself upon you at
a moment when you were without
funds. demanding that his claim be
liquidated instanter. with suit at law
Offered as the alternative.
Finding yourself in this temporarily
embarrassing position, after gathering
your wits in what category would you
place the man who, after having appar-
entity reposed confidence in your integ-
rity and knowing, moreover, that you
were perfectly good for many times the
amount of his bill, would make any
such demand as this upon you?
Going a little further, suppose that
your creditor actually brought suit
against you, or that he rushed out into
the crowded thoroughfare and warned
the multitude against you, proclaiming
you as a man who did not pay his bills,
as a man unworthy OF confidence.
Now put yourself in the place of the
solid and. absolutely safe banking con-
Germs of Los Angeles = institutions
which are famed from one end of the
land to the other for their conserva-
tism, for the excellent judgment Of
their executive heads, for the business
integrity of the individual members of
their directorates, for antecedents that
cause glow of pride to suffuse the
cheeks of every loyal citizen, proud of
the record Of the splendid, staunch
institutions operated by his friends and
|neighbors. Likewise imagine, If that is
possible a man who, in the full pos
session of his faculties will permit him
self to be led, dragged or bulldozed
into taking any step that will tend to
annoy or embarrass you in the conduct
of your business.
You can't. The Creator probably has
never endowed one of his human rep
llicas with imaginative potentialities of
this degree. The only logical deduc-
ton is, therefore, that temporary mem
tai alteration, due to his being fright
ened or ratified, is responsible for such
Individual act as has been described.
Thus far we have been dealing in
generalities only. There is no reason
able ground for apprehending that any
material contingent Of bank depositors
in Los Angeles will become seriously
alarmed over present financial condi-
tions as they appear in either the east
or in the west. If any such arise, how
ever, our best advice to them is that
they consult an alienist. For it surely
lis they, not the banks nor the business
of the country. that need mental and
moral strengthening.

THE JAPANESE TEMPER

CONTRIBUTOR to a Hongkong
N paper, the Overland China Mail,
Ia cites evidence in proof of his con-
tention that the reverence which inhab-
itants of Japan once cherished for their
emperor is rapidly vanishing as the
result of the progress of occidental
social and political theories in that
country.
"a change is coming over the char
acter of the people," he declares. ut
is a truism that the late war could
never have been won by Japan had 1t
not been for the almost sublime loyalty
of the people for the emperor. Every
one who knows anything in regard to
1.-The sentiments of the Japanese in this
respect is aware that he is almost
deified. A few years ago any man who
by word or act belittled the emperor
would probably have been torn to
pieces. Yet, few months since, a
number of Japanese workmen deliber-
ately wrecked warship in course of
construction because they were dissat-
isfied with the conditions in which they
were working. When it Is remembered
that the army and navy are, according
to Japanese ideas. the property of the
emperor, the full significance of this
action will be realized"
That the intelligent Japanese should
be alive to the effete qualities of such
a monarchy as their country. after
having sent to America thousands of
the flower among her youth that they
might avail themselves of the knowl-
edge to be gained by intimate contact
with this enlightened country and study
of its institutions, is inevitable.
Every Japanese who has studied
social and political conditions in Amer
lea and returned to his native land has
carried with him and sown seeds OF
dissatisfaction with the narrow medic
val principle of absolutism in govern
ment. During the past few years, since
the staggering military and naval sue
cesses attained by Japanese arms in the
Chino Japanese war, the working
classes of the island empire have been
exhibiting to the world a rapidly devel-
oping spirit of independence. The new
order of things, founded upon the teach
irgs of occidental civilization, is replac-
ing the old at a rate utterly beyond the
anticipations Of the most enlightened
and progressive of the ruling classes.
No student of oriental affairs will
deny that Japan has exhibited reeuper-
ative powers that are superlatively
astonishing, and that consequently she
must emerge in triumph from the obsta-
cle-fettered path leading to that place
of power and influence which nothing
in Japanese traditions has indicated as
possible of achievement. Nevertheless
SO long as the nation remains subject to
a despotism which must be repugnant
to the travelled, thinking representatives
Of the middle classes and few of the
nobility, Japan will stand on the tot
tering rim of a political volcano from
which revolution may belch forth in d
hell of unbridled fury at the casting OF
the first stone, revolution compared
with which the uprisings in the neigh
boring domain of the czar will appear
as the mutterings of hungry but
helpless mob.

WILL COME TO IT

A LTHOUGH the constitution of the
I'd state of California is. silent as to
"A the duties of the attorney general.
there are statutes defining his power
and duties. These statutes confer upon
that functionary the power to bring
proceedings in the courts for the
enforcement of laws affecting the well
fare of the state at large.
The attorney general undoubtedly is
vested with ample power to institute
legal proceedings looking toward the
punishment of the officials, agents or
employees of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company who, according to admis-
sions boldly made in the course Of the
recent investigation of that company's
affairs by Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Lane, are guilty of the crime
of rebating.
Attorney General Webb, however,
shamelessly pleads that he is sin the
dark" in regard to his duties. There
fore, it is a fair presumption, until a
great light shall have dawned upon this
poorly informed head of the legal
department of the great state of Cali
fornia, the people must look to the rail-
road commissioners to institute pun1-
tive measures in these cases.
| The railroad commissioners, happily,
are vastly better informed on the sub
ject of their powers and duties in this
respect than they profess to have been
three weeks ago. Fearing that they
may not have been fully cognizant of
the great responsibilities thrust upon
them by the organic law, The Herald
has enlightened them. That they had
been ignorant of the provisions of sec
tions q and % of article ~ of the con-
stitution is a shortcoming that is easily
forgiven, for it appears that some OF
the most successful lawyers of Cali
fornia, some Of whom are men who
have grown gray in the practice OF
| their profession, either have not known
of these wonderfully potential sections
or, once having read them, have for
gotten them. But now that the rail-
road commissioners have been brought
to an understanding of their important
duties it ultimately should follow, as
matter of course, that they will not
risk their political necks by defying
the law which makes possible the Office
they severally fill, but that, as soon as
the well-oiled machinery of that law
can be set in motion, they will proceed
to undertake to correct abuses through
the medium of the courts"-these abuses
being violations of the organic law pro-
hibiting the granting Of discriminatory
rates by railroad companies, their off,
GERS, agents or employees.
The railroad commissioners will find
their task a very simple one. A tran
script Of the evidence secured by Com
missioner Lane will point the way. The
railroad defiantly. even gleefully, con
fessed that it had given rebates in q
large number of cases-gleefully, VIZ
say, because the railroad officials Civ.

fession knew that the interstate com
lmerce commissions authority was lin

might learn in regard to the Southern
