no sToP VOTE BuYING.

a WORD of good cheer comes from Caro-
a line county, Md. The Republican and
the Democratic leaders of that Eastern Shore
region have united in determined effort to stamp
out the improper use Of money during the pres
ent campaign. They have agreed not TO use cash
for vote buying. The people Of the Eastern Shore
realize, as will all other sensible men, that the
debauchery Of the ballot by buying votes is
most degrading practice that undermines the
foundations of society. Really the man who sells
his vote ought to be disiranchised peremptory.
The Caroline county folks have also agreed
upon the publication Of the expenses Of cam
paigps. 1t is proposed to limit gifts to money
needed for proper expenses. An effort will be
made to cease paying workers" on election day.
Formerly this labor was done by volunteers, but
now the parties are forced to pay those who "man
the polls"
One clause of the agreement says that no
money for campaign expenses in the county shall
be received from persons outside the county, and
there shall be no gift used from any corporation,
company or concern anywhere. The corpora
tions, concerns and companies should be well
pleased with this provision, as it will halt the
hold-ups Of corporations, a method of obtaining
money that has been resorted to by both political
parties.
In the compact is one provision which is a lit
tie odd 1t reads in substance that no individual
by this agreement is forbidden to do whatever
private treating he may wish to do, provided the
same shall be confined within the ordinary and
accepted limits allowed by an enlightened social
intercourse, for we believe that to extend the
same beyond the aforesaid limits will have ten
dency to debauch the electorate amounts to bri-
berry and is strictly forbidden by the letter and
the spirit Of this agreement"
We fear the politicians of the Eastern Sho will
find this perpexing provision. Caroline county,
being a Prohibition stronghold, docs enlightened
social intercourse there mean that the candidates
will conhne treats" to ice cream, lemonade soda
water or barbecues? And if so, where is the line
TO be drawn? Would one plate of ice cream an
swer the requirements of enlightenment Sup
pose the voter should call for another plate,
would that lead to debauchery? Could the can
didate say: Come on boys, the treat OF oysters
is on me- and then could he "set them up with
out breaking the spirit of the agreement? We
believe he could We don't know whether the
Caroline men will construe enlightenment to
mean this kind of treating or not. We rather
fear, however, that the politicians had in mind
something stronger than is suggested, as in times
gone by leaders by treating with the drinks con-
sidered that they had strong hold upon the
voters.
However, all things considered, the Caroline
men have made good start. Should they live
up to their agreement the results may be so happy
that even treating" might be abolished
Still, it does seem that a candidate ought to be
allowed to entertain his friends, and proverbial
Maryland hospitality wants some way to express
itself during election times.

GET AWAY" ETHICS

NTOW that the election in San Fran
cisco is over the eyes of q par.
Il of the world once more will be
directed toward the courts of JUS. ice in
that city. So wrapped up in the late
campaign and the second trial Of Tirey
L. Ford have the majority of the people
been that many probably have for
gotten that somewhere in this or an
other country one A. X. Detwiler, one
of the men accused of bribery in con-
nection with franchise deal in that
city, has succeeded in keeping his per-
son very much in obscurity.
Possibly Mr.. Detwiler is actuated by
motives which embrace a desire to save
the taxpayers of San Francisco county
the expense incident to the trial of an
innocent man. There are so many
maligned citizens who have been MAX
ing desperate efforts to this direction,
solely that unnecessary court bills may
be obviated, that it is but natural to
view Mr.. Detwiler's concern in this
light.
Take Patrick Calhoun, for example.
He has asserted time after time, on his
word of honor as gentleman, sir, that
there is no reason on earth, in the sky

HORRIBLE EXAMPLES

VIZ HILE the mayors of several
wv California cities are discussing
things in Pasadena this week
they will find some profit in extending
the glad hand of recognition and well
come to the spirit of independence and
in municipal affairs
which will apply for admission to the
gathering.
Within the past few days the mayors,
in common with the private citizens of
this progressive state, have had two
splendid testimonials to the gigantic
proportions attained by the public SEN
timent in favor of barring the muni-
cipal door to partisan politics and ma
chine rule of any sort. If any skeptics
remain among them let them remember
the fate of Schmitz of San Francisco
and Beard of Sacramento.
1t is a pity that some able demon
strator is not able to bring these two
relics of dead day down to Pasadena
and let them pose as horrible examples
warning to all other city executives
1t would afford an object lesson whose
value could hardly lose it's identity II
that assemblage.

DECLARES HE WAS SOLD
WRONG PIECE OF LAND
George w. ThrosseII Sues Charles
SIadky for Return of Purchase
Price and Damages.
Charges Fraud

Claiming he was swindled out of $1,000
in land deal George w. Throssell filed
suit yesterday against Charles Sladky
in which he asks to be returned his mon
ey and relieved of the property.
He says he was taken to Kern county
and shown 300 acres of land which he was
offered for $4,000.
He paid the money, he says, and then
went to settle on his property. He says
the property shown him and which he
thought he was purchasing was the west
Y of section 20 of township 25 range A
east, but what was actually conveyed to
him in the deed was the west " of sec
tion &c of township 25 range g.
The land he claims is worthless because
of the inferior quality of the soil, lack
of transportation and many other rea-
sons.
Throssell claims he gave up good po-
sition at Santa Monica, leased his home,
removed with his family to Kern county
at great expense and settled on the land
he thought was his own. Then the real
owner of the land invited him to get off
the premises, he says.
Plaintiff asks the court for the return
of the price of the land and $4,000 damages.

LEOPOLD is WORRIED

A JEALOUS press agent for the Leo
IN poldian clique has instituted a
- campaign of publicity with the
aim, it would appear, to convince the
world that the Belgian monarch is a
greatly maligned benefactor of the nu-
man race, whether found in Brussels
or the Congo Free State. His first at
tack is leveled against the allegation
that King Leopold has deprived Bel
giun of a large part of the Congo by
transferring the crown lands to pri-
vate company. This statement is char
acterized as untruthful. As King Leo
pold's press agent is no less person
than the Belgian consul general at Bal
timore we shall most deferentially ac-
cept his denial as being inspired by
definite knowledge that the rumors to
which he refers are groundless.
This is a matter in which Americans
take little or no interest. The thing
with which they are most concerned is
a considerable number of photographs
showing the stubs of arms of native
youths in the Congo Free ~ State, the
missing members of which are reput-
ably reported to have been sacrificed
to the rapacity of the ruthless agents OF
the king of the Belgians because these
dark-s<inned boys committed the trea-
sonable act of failure to bring in the
stipulated amount of rubber.
1t is atrocities like these, condoned if
not ordered by the mighty Belgian
monarch, and not the quarrel between
Leopold and his people regarding the
disposition of the crown lands, which
is of interest not only to Americans
but to the inhabitants of all Christen-
dom. When Leopold atones, so far as
atonement is possible, for the crimes
against nature laid at the feet of his
commercial agents; when he adequately
Furnishes these emissaries for the un-
pardonable cruelties of which they have
been authors, the people who CONS
within the sphere of his American con-
suIs' influence will be more inclined
listen to appeals of this class. Leopold
is evidently worried by the ugly atti-
tude of civilization.

A RETURN TO REASON

F the lumber manufacturers Of Ore
gon substantiate their claim that
- the Southern Pacific charges an ex-
orbitant and prohibitfve rate on timber
products shipped from the Willamette
valley to this state another entry will
have been added to the already long
score which that railroad will be called
upon to settle in the final accounting.
A complaint recently made by lumber
manufacturers of our norther1y neigh
Dor to the interstate commerce commits
sion charges that the railroad compels
them to pay an excessive freight rate
in order that it may add to the fund
upon which it draws for dividends.
Last spring Mr.. Hartman, whose
word is still supreme in Southern Pa
cific councils, refused to answer certain
questions propounded to him during the
course of an inquiry by the interstate
commerce commission into the notorious
Chicago & Alton deal. Before a federal
circuit court tomorrow an effort will
be made by counsel for the commission
to secure an order cos2pelling Mr.. Har-
riman to reply to the questions which
he waved aside so superciliously a few
months ago. If the court issue a man
date we think Mr.. Hartman will obey
it. Then, when the question raised by
the Oregon lumber manufacturers and
other propositions submitted by other
interests on the Pacific coast be pro-
pounded, we think Mr.. Hartman S
e.
not insolently raise deprecatory hand
when the interstate commerce commits
sion seeks to arrive at an understand
| ing as to the merits Of the cases in
| which his road Is involved.
Mr.. Hartman is not above the law.
Quite recently the judge of an impor-
tant court in Illinois was PLACED under
arrest as a party to alleged criminal
negligence on the part of a great COR
poration with which he was officially
identified. Governors of states have
| been taken into custody and compelled
| to reply to questions propounded to
them. Even q president of the United
States once came under the displeasure
of the law. So we think that in the
end the great and powerful Mr. Harri-
man will reach the conclusion that the
wise thing for him to do is to recognize
in so important a functionary as the
interstate commerce commission an in
stitution which has the right to ask
pertinent questions and to see that
they are answered. We think reason
is returning to Mr.. Hartman.

PUBLIC LIBRARY TO SELL
ITS DISCARDED VOLUMES
OVER SIX HUNDRED BOOKS PUT
ON BARGAIN TABLE
Standard Works, the Worse for Wear
VIII Be Sacrificed Two Weeks
Hence at First Clearance
Sale

Under an ordinance recently passed by
the city council the public library is
authorized to sell at public sale such of
its discarded books as have any CONNER
cial value-the rest being given, as be-
fore, to the county farm, the orphans
home, newsboys' home, the county hos
pital, county JAIL etc.
Over 600 volumes will be put on sale
Saturday, November, 20, at the magazine
desk on the third floor. 450 OF
these are novels; the rest juvenile books.
These are books which cost from 81 to
S2.50 and they will be sold from 10 cents
to 25 cents a apiece. They are the worse
for wear but are all standard books and
complete.
Such clearance sales have been held
in the st. Louis library for many years
very successfully, and it is believed the
plan will work well in Los Angeles.

.WR1GHTs PLACE

"HE French government has con-
ferred upon Carroll D. Wright,
IL former United States commits
sioner of labor, the cross of the Legion
of Honor. in recognition of his efforts
to improve Industrial conditions not
only in America but throughout the
world. In thus complimenting a dis
tinguished American the republic of
France has once more directed the at
tention of the world to a man whose
efforts, under the authority of our fed
eral government, have brought about
an enduring benefit to the world of
labor, which, when all has been said,
is practically the world itself. Until
the establishment of the bureau of
labor statistics the federal government
had made no we'll considered effort to
centralize, and thereby to make 1T
something of the greatest possible util-
ity, it's labor toward educating the
world in the details of the tremendous
industrial energy of Americans and the
intimate relations between labor and
capital.
When the absolute interdependence
of these two great forces shall have
received better recognition and capital
shall have admitted it's comprehension
of the vital economic principle that
without intelligent labor and conscien-
tious cooperation Herewith it must
become nonentity as an industrial
force, every civilized country, including
our own, will tender to Mr.. Wright the
tardy recognition that has long been
his due.
