WHEN RAILROADS
ENGAGE IN POLITICS
Iowa Situation Compared with That
of CaIifornia-Bad FOR the People
and Bad for the
Railroads

Francis j. Heney, the successful pros
ecutor of the San Francisco grafters,
says one influence above all others is
responsible 1or the situation in Califor-
MIA In word, that influence is the
dominance of the Southern Pacific rail-
way.
The diagnosis is undoubtedly correct,
declares the Des Moines News. 1t is
neither good for the state nor for the
railroad itself, when the latter is per-
mitted to col troll the politics Of the
former.
The recent history of politics in Iowa
proves the fact For years the big trans
continental lines passing through this
state, domino. Led the politics of the state.
Through their agents and attorneys they
directed the conventions, made the nom
nations and sometimes even made the
platforms. The people went to the polls
and humbly indorsed the program out
lined by the railroad politicians. The
power of the railroad attorneys grew
until they were able to control the offices
in the districts and the counties as well
as at the capital. That there was graft
and corruption under such system goes
without saying. offices were parceled
out as bribes or as rewards The free
pass was used to the limit
All at once the people woke up. The
railroad politicians had gone too far.
They had tried to dictate to some of the
independent spirits that would not brook
dictation. Then several times in Iowa
the railroad interests have been chal-
lenged at the polls and three times they
have been routed. The tremendous power
has been broken. The ring has been
"busted' And out of the rout of the
allied railroad interests have come some
great reforms, notably the abolition of
the free pass and the reduction of passen-
ger rates to 2 cents per mile. The rail
road regime in Iowa was bad. 1t is bad
in California, and everywhere it is per-
mitted.
Railroads nave no business to engage in
politics. When they do so it is bad for
the people and bad for the railroads

Four holdups and a burglary between
the hours of o'clock and IL o'clock were
reported to the police last night.
Shortly after o'clock. as j. S. Shuey
Oh 1881 East Fiftie..l street was on his
way home from his work he was held
up at Forty-ninth street and Hooper
avenue and robbed of "a by two masked
men.
1t is believed that the highwaymen are
those who have been operating in that
section OF the city for the last two nights.
At about the same hour Miss Bessie
Cummings of 1040 West Fifty-fifth street
was stopped by a man at Vernon avenue
and Dabney street and an attempt was
made to rob her of handbag contain
ing a small amount of money. The fell
low was frightened off before he sue
ceeded in getting the money.
The young woman was walking along
hurriedly when a man suddenly stepped
frow the shadow of a big tree and
grabbed her by the arm. She screamed
and he placed a hand over her mouth
to stop .ler alarm. She fought desperate
ly, however, and finally succeeded in cry
ing out several times. Footsteps were
heard and he released her and ran.
NJ Mason, roomer in the Stanford
house at Fourth and Hill streets, entered
his room at about 8 o'clock last night to
go to bed.
AS he walked into the door he was
grabbed by one of three young men who
were in the, room and ordered to keep
quiet He fought and called for help and
the men turned and ran from the room,
having secured nothing but revolver.
The weapon was found in a lower hall
way, where it had evidently been
dropped.
James Micovich, laborer employed by
the Pacific Electric railway, staggered
into the Hot Rivet saloon last night,
calling for help. He had been held up a
few minutes before by two men at the
corner of Main and College streets

by blow from a sandbag, and the men.

COUNCIL MAY INQUIRE
INTO POLICE METHODS
PatroImen Force Way Into Lodge
Room to Get Suspected Robber
and Damage Suits Are
Threatened

Councilman, Henry Lyon may at the
next meeting of the city council call for
an investigation of the police department
because of recent Russianized methods of
operating.
The principal grievance grows out of
the action of Patrolmen Glenn and Ste
vens in entering meeting of the Afro
American council at Fourth and Ruth
avenue while secret work was being done
in lodge room and arresting David
Jones without a warrant. Jones wore a
hat resembling that worn by a man who
stole So from a house on Thirty-fifth
street. and because of that resemblance
Jones was dragged out of the meeting.
Lodge members went to the station and
offered to put up bail money, but this was
refused
Jones was taken to the robbed place in
stead, and the inmates said he did not
resemble the culprit, and now Jones
threatens to bring suit for damages.

Slowly shaking his head and mumbling
Of the voices which pursue him at all
times, John Hehir, living at 1S4S Darwin
street. was taken to the receiving hos
pital yesterday and was placed under the
care of the physicians.
Hehir is a native of Ireland, but has
been in this country for several years.
For some time past he has been acting
strangely and has continually talked of
hearing voices. His friends, fearing he
was insane, at last decided to have him
taken to the hospital and examined, and
notified the police to that effect.
Hehir will be taken to the county hos
pital today and will be treated there, as
the physicians believe all he needs is rest
and quiet.

VIII Take Long Promised Trip to
Europe-Forty, Age He Has
Reached, Most Critical,
He Says

Church members throughout Los An
resignation of Rev. Frank Dewitt Tai
mage as pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, which was announced at the ses-
sion of the church officials yesterday af-
ternoon.
DR.. Talmage expects to take years
vacation in Europe. During his, pastor
ate here he has upbuilt the church and
leaves it in flourishing condition.
Following is a brief extract from the
letter rendered the church officials by DR..
Talmage:
when 1 came to Los Angeles had but
one desire and hope, and that was to
help save our grand Old church for Pres
byterianism. Our church today is saved.
The debt, with careful management, Is all
provided for.
For fifteen years of my life 1 have
said that when L came to 40 years of age
l would take an eight or twelve months
trip in Europe and study there. The age
of 40 is the most dangerous age In the
literary and ministerial life. If man
stops then and fills up mentally and
physically the best half of his life's work
is ahead If he simply goes on drudging
each day with no letup he will soon be-
come like a dried up lemon. squeezed of
all it's juice, to be thrown away as use
less.
For four long years l have stood in
this pulpit morning and evening. Outside
of my annual vacations, during which 1
have always done my hardest sermonic
work, 1 am hardly ever away. For fif-
teen years 1 have been working unceas-
ingiy. 1 am very soon coming to the
forks of road. / must fill up my mental
and physical reservoirs. l must have a
complete change On March l, 1908, 1 shall
resign this pulpit and, 1 hope, hand 1t
over to my successor"
The officials board of the church passed
resolutions regretting the resignation of
DR.. Talmage and thanking him for his
work here.
