BASEBALL TEAMS

THIS would WEAKEN i
KAMS VERY BADLY

Baseball Is certainly up In the air al
present. The Puns are none too strong
ON their feet, the Oahu franchise Is
wavcring between a purchase by tho
Diamond Heads and by the Trustees
Of the League, and outside of this and
coming Us Il new matter altogether,
the Rapid Transits want to come into
the fold. They claim that they can
put as strong team in the field as
any which was in the game last year.
This last matter is far from clearing
the atmosphere. II the Rapid Transits
come In they will take, without any
doubt, some ot the best players In the
Kamehamcha team and then there will
be more pilikia. That everything will
come out right In the end goes without
saying, as there are more good ball
PLAYERS In the city right now than
there were at the close OF the last sea
son, but how they will be divided IL
the question.
The only trouble with the League
last year came from the fact that the
Tor any other In the League while the
Males were too weak. People like TO
see teams evenly matched and. from
the looks Of things a couple Of weeks
ago there would be much more even
season this year than there was last.
Just now no one has any idea as to
who IL who. The II. A. c. team IL the
only one which has anywhere nearly
settled on the men who will play the
various positions and they have not
made all their decisions yet. The other
teams will await the outcome OF tho
league decisions in regard 10 franchises
before they do any Boosting about tho
strength or weakness of their mines.

THE PAPER SQUEEZE

A L its recent meeting in New York
"a the American Newspaper Pub
AH fishers association appointed a
committee instructed to call President
Roosevelt's attention to the existing
combination of paper manufacturers,
which it regards as an unlawful COM
bination in restraint Of trade. Prac-
tically the whole paper industry, based
upon rags and wood pulp, is organized
into one of the most outrageous monop-
olies of the period. BY virtue of this
organization legitimate competition can
be and is defied. all or nearly all of the
national timber resources adapted to
the manufacture are under its control.
Relief to the consumer only could be
had through recourse to the vast forests
of Canada, and the trust tariff shuts
out present hope in that direction.
In the face of this irritating situation
G. F. Underwood, president of the
International Paper company, the
chief offender in the premises, has the
adamantine and arctic effrontery to
assert that 'the conditions of the paper
trade necessitate higher prices for
paper. Production is twice as expen-
sive as it was a short while ago." and
so on. This trust official knows, and
ought to suspect others of knowing,
that, what with impending exhaustion
of all American forests and the impos-
sibility of obtaining cheap raw ma
terial elsewhere because it is barred
out by the tariff protection" of the
trust, cost of production must advance.
OF course this is matter quite neg
ligible by Mr.. Underwood and his
friends. He and they have their tariff
monopoly to fall back upon, and con-
sumers are helpless and must con-
tribute to trust profits whatever may
be demanded of them. That condition
will obtain until the last acre of Ameri-
can woodland has been denuded of
trees, which will not be long indeed, or
until manufactured forest products
shall be placed on the free list. The
printing and newspaper industry is
third in rank among the great indus
tries of the United States. The next
congress is likely to hear from 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO MUDDLE

TIME hope of lasting relief for San
Francisco born in the hearts of
Il the people of California by reason
of the expected effects of fusion be-
tween the regular Democrats and Re-
publicans, and the consequent indorse-
ment of Taylor and Langdon, is gone;
and is not even glimmering, but is
dead. The nominating by the Repub-
lican convention on Tuesday of Daniel
A. Ryan for mayor is the opening up
of the whole keyboard of mean politics
and an assurance that The whole dia-
pason of inharmonious campaign dew
iltry will be again inflicted on the peo-
pie of San Francisco and the state at
large. Taylor, chosen by the prosecu-
ton and almost unanimously approved
by the people, stood for good govern
ment irrespective of party affiliations,
and the Republicans of San Francisco
will now answer to the people Of the
whole world for this final political
trick, which not only stamps all their
previous utterances as insincere, but
condemns the city to a possible renais-
sSdnce OF grdIt power anu GUS hSi Oi-
from the confidence of prospective in
vestors everywhere.
This Republican convention knew
that the schmitz- Ruef element was
primed for fight for life, and knew
that only fusing Of both regular par
ties could defeat such a move; yet de-
liberately bargained away the deliver
ance of the city from misrule for a
mess of office-holding pottage. In so
far as the Lincoln Roosevelt league
had part in this suicidal and almost
criminal proceeding, it's action stulti-
fies all the grandstand proclamations
it's members have made and deservedly
relegates its rank and standing back
among the questionable political games
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-27

that seem to rise out OF the ground to
curse that helpless city.
Look carefully at what the candidates
of the regular parties must face and
| fight. Boss Herrin and all the real
power he can command united to the
great power OF all corporations whose
officials are under graft indictments
and all the hungry horde that in years
gone by made havoc of the best oppo-
sition that brains and money could set
up. all leagued for self-defense first
and for political control afterward. No
game or trick criminal or otherwise,
will be left untried, and no amount of
money requisite but will be forthcorn-
ing for the aid of these marplots, and
to cap the climax, the great middle
class of traders and many of the big
financial institutions will join hands
with these political freebooters and
rend the city worse than ever
That Tveitmoe, a leader OF the
Schmitz-Ruef forces, is proved an ex-
convict In no manner detracts from his
power as a political manager, but
rather will add to the intensity of his
hatred of all that makes for law and
order. and the shameful fact that Gov
ernor Gillett supinely condones the
guilt of Boodler Wilson will keep the
element which elevated Gillett to office
not only silent as to Tveitmoe, but,
logically, active in his defense.
Tho IJayaId o,,aettoaoa tbo odx,i.o
bility Of the appointing Of Casey to
office when it was done, and now points
out, in justification, that the act which
Mayor Taylor believed would strength
en- him with the piratical crowd really
helped to defeat him, for without Re-
publican Endorsement he could not be
elected and the Republicans will claim,
with some show of justice they could
not indorse a man who made such
glaringly inconsistent appointments.
When the regular Democratic con-
vention meets, two weeks hence, and
inominates Langdon to succeed himself
there is bare possibility he may pull
though. but II the Herrin-Ruef-
Schmitz- Calhoun gang prevails on
James Mcguire to run against Lang
don all the power of the united push
will be leagued in his favor and Lang
don's 'election be problematical. That
the Herrin- -Schmitz- Ruef- Calhoun gang
will elect a mayor and supervisors is
now almost a certainty, and men who
are conversant with politics in San
Francisco freely cohcede this in view of
the failure of the Republican conven-
tion to keep its promises and abide by
its agreement to vote and work for
good citizenship.

SCHOOLS AND DRAMSHOPS

mHE police commissioners of Los
Angeles in granting liquor IL
= cense to be operated in close prox-
Unity to the high school have outraged
the feelings of a great majority of the
people, and incidentally made a strong
plea for a continuance of the initiative,
referendum and recall in the new char
ter. There are sometimes such mitigat-
ing circumstances that the commits
sioners would be justified in the free
exercise of official discretion, but this
| case of the Temple street license has
| evoked the most earnest protests of the
forces that have made Los Angeles
what 1t Is. and such protests should
weigh against any or all circumstances
possible to advance to combat them.
Common humanity, with its load of
weaknesses, viii bring the high school
contingent of boys and girls only too
soon to knowledge OF the manifold
curses of rum, and it is not fair, let
alone just, to parade the sale Of the
thing to the rising youth of both sexes
in the formative years of their lives
and when they go to and come from
school.
| The question of right or wrong in the
act of the commissioners may not be
affected justly by the personality or
standing of the licensed party; it is
solely question of the will of the peo-
pie as against the will of the peoples
representatives, and the latter should
give way to such a showing as was
made against this particular license.
Passing the question of expediency
and coming to the higher plane of
ethics there is no excuse in all the
range Of thought that can be made to
cover this defiant act of the commits
sioners. Religion and all 1t means to
our civilization Is a real and powerful
factor in the assets Of Los Angeles, and
the almost pathetic plea Of body of
religious women for the welfare of
children is something no law of God or
man permits good men to ignore. The
unwritten law of fealty to the mother
hood OF the land exacts favorable re-
sponse from good men, and where, as
in this case, no overwhelming cause
compels opposition, the earnest prayer
of these women should have been
granted and the offending application
denied.
The court OF parental love holds the
commissioners guilty of grave wrong.
and 1t is. certain to come home to them
when and where they may least ex-
pect 1t.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-27
THE REFERENDUM

N ACRAMENTO is now in the throes
~ of a practical demonstration of
~ the workings of the initiative and
referendum, and possibly of the recall,
over the question of granting fran
chise to a railroad over a street the
people object to giving for that pur-
pose. Several deputations of leading
people waited on the board of super
visors and voiced the popular will, and
the local press has been unit in op';
posing the action of the supervisors,
yet the board deliberately granted the
franchise and the referendum will now
be invoked to save the people from the
work of faithless board.
The one effective plea made wherever
the initiative and referendum are advo-
Gated is that they are simple and eff
fective in operation, and the experience
of the people of Sacramento will now be
watched with deep interest.
The case includes all the conditions
possible in this or any large city
through malfeasance on the part of Of
ficials, and will serve as an excellent
object lesson to the people of Los An
geles. The enemies of the initiative and
referendum and recall usually fall back
on the feature of cost and argue that
the game is not worth the candle. 1t
is not difficult to see that a score of
propositions may arise in this city,
where capital Is so eager for investS
ment, any one of which may involve
millions, and the people, but for these
safeguards, would be powerless to act
till the wrong was done, and the fur
ther fact remains that all now affecting
San Francisco in the form of graft
trials, with their accompanying shame
and hurt to business, could be dupli-
Gated here if the men and the oppor-
tunity should chance to come up.
That these measures are competent
to do the good claimed for them is
proved in the recent action of an Ore
gon corporation which, finding itself
forced to pay fair taxes, lodged the
payment on the ground of the uncon-
stitutionality of the law, and has taken
the case to the supreme court for no
other apparent reason than to obtain
further time to fight the laws.
The Herald believes in the justice and
wisdom of the initiative and referen-
dunn and recall, and earnestly advo-
Gates the careful watching of all pre-
liminaries incident to forming the new
charter, to the end that Los Angeles
may be free to indorse or condemn any
public act of any public servant, and, If
the circumstances so warrant, recall the
guilty man from preferment and elect
another to his place.
The time to make sure of these HESS
ings is now, in the formative stages of
the work, when insidlous schemers may
try questionable methods of tampering
with the work and gaining through
subterfuge what the people as whole
would condemn # attempted openly.
Eternal vigilance is the price of safety
as we'll as Of liberty
