Mr.. BRYANS "WONDER"

William ]. Bryan in his eloquent and
folk, Va, discussed federal taxation in
its leading phases, paying special at
tention to the Philippines and to the
railroad question. The Associated
Press in the course of it's tantalizingly
brief report of the speech, says:
THE speaker discussed federal own
ership of railroads, but said after all
he wondered if more was not to be
gained for the people by discussing
and fighting the corporations"
Mr.. Bryan's "wonderment" is one of
his saving and most delightful express
sions. He means by it's use that he is
always open to argument since he re-
allies the old saying, "It's a mighty
bad case that hasn't two sides"
The American people are not ready
even to discuss the federal ownership
of railroads. At the present stage of
their opinion they don't want federal
ownership and they don't want Mr..
Bryan to talk about it. That's the long
and the short of it.
What they do want is regulation
laws that will compel the railroads
to deal fairly and honestly with the
people-laws that will force the rail-
roads out of politics and push them
back into the open, honest conduct of
their great enterprises.
There is nothing so necessary to the
people as transportation - railroads,
steamships, canals, but especially
railroads. The people are grateful for
these tremendous highways of COM
merce. but they object to having the
railroads run the government, and just
now they are not willing to have the
government own the railroads.
All they ask and insist upon is that
the railroads shall play fair.
If Mr. Bryan's wonder" has brought
him to see this important fact-which
he acknowledges-he is all the more
certain to become the next president
of the United States.

CITRUS CROP NEVER FAILS

With the hope of saving fruit crops
from destruction by frost, farmers in
northern Ohio are resorting to fires at
night. The expedient, as reported, ap-
pears to be practically the same that
Southern California orange growers
sometimes employ for like purpose.
There is the wide climatic difference,
however, that the orange men smudge
in the coolest period of midwinter,
when the east is icebound, while their
eastern brethren fire up in the last week
of May.
The extraordinary lateness of the
warm seasons arrival is causing in
calculable damage to agriculture in the
whole section of the United States east
of the mountains. over that entire
range of country there have been for
weeks discouraging accounts of the
fruit outlook. The wheat crop also has
suffered to all extent that has caused
prices to go beyond the dollar mark
and that promises still greater ad-
vances.
A sharp contrast between such con-
ditions in the east and the situation in
Southern California is presented now.
The orange crop, which is our most
important product of agriculture, is
nearing the end of the marketing sea-
son. The navel oranges, constituting
the larger portion of the crop, have
ri
"are a few hundred carloads left" ac-
cording to reports from the navel
orange belt, but that quantity is rated
as trivial in a total output of more
than $4,000 carloads.
And now, as a result of the always
reliable orange crop in Southern Cali
fornia, the growers are seeking ways
and means to take care of the aggre-
$40, 100000 that is pouring into their
laps. Prices in the eastern markets
have been uniformly good throughout
the season. Small orchards of five
acres have earned enough money to
keep a large family comfortably for a
year and larger ones have yielded
moderate fortunes.
The song that tells how "The farm
er's life is the life for me" is very much
of humbug in it's general application.
From the first day Of eastern farm
work in the spring until the last one in
the fall the average farmer is worried
about the outcome of his crops. The
weather usually is either too cold or toe
warm, too dry or too wet And then
there are pests and other crop destroy.
ers that keep the plodding farmer "or
nettles"
But not so in the blessed Southern
California land of sunshine. The citrus
crop never fails and the producer al
ways is certain that his golden frui
will yield him a bountiful return IL
golden coin.

PRESIDENTIAL ADVICE

In his address at Indianapolis yester-
day, unveiling the monument to the
late Gen. Lawton, the president TOOK
occasion to express his views with re-
spect to future legislation in regulation
of the great railroads. Some OF these
expressions were not new, the most Oh
them being familiar as the budget
known under the general appellatlon OF
"Rooseveltian policies"
But the president struck one I'M
pertant keynote when he said: Let the
local attorneys of the big roads Keep
ont of politics-and when they have to
anpear before the national or any state
legislature let their names be put on a
special register and let their business be
aboveboard and open.
This is the Democratic way. This is
precisely the course that is being fol-
lowed in Democratic Missouri, where
the railroads are being forced out of
politics and a Democratic legislature
has recently enacted a law requiring
renresentatives of railroads when they
arrive at the capital to register their
names with the secretary of state and
enter of record the business which
brings them there.
Without waiting, however, for the in
stitution of compulsory measures such
as these. the local attorneys and ott1-
cials of the railroads should make an
nouncement of the fact that they have
voluntarily retired from politics and
that hereafter they will behave like
other citizens, going to the capital only
when they have reason to believe the
railroads interests are endangered. and
only then for the purpose of making
an open argument before a legislative
committee.
Such a movement, generally made
the country, would immedi-
ately remove exising prejudice and
send to speedy arbitration the differ
ences between railroads and people,
based upon such business questions as
rates. rebates and taxes. Many promi-
nent railroad men have already de-
clared in favor of the proposition, but
no organized movement in that direc-
ton has been made.
The people emphatically and properly
protest against the seizure of govern
ment by the railways. In California,
for instance, the Southern Pacific
openly nominates the Republican state
and county tickets and has even been
accused of naming the United States
senator's. What follows? Retaliation
by way of congress.
And there will be no sympathy with |
the railroads until they quit the field |

the effort to make the vote on the water
bond proposition as nearly unanimous
as possible. The corporations which are
antagonizing the proposition are pur-
posely left out of the category of citi-
zens because they represent foreign
capital and are mere money making
concerns for persons who have no citi-
zenship interest in Los Angeles.
Northern cities should send along
their delegations of observers now. A
view of the present situation leaves no
doubt as to what makes the wheels go
round" in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-31
WHY THE WHEELS GO ROUND

Now is the time for northern cities to
send delegations to Los Angeles to solve
the mystery of What makes the wheels
go round" in the southern metropolis.
Several such delegations from the
north have visited this city within the
last few months, a delegation from
Stockton is now here and two or three
more delegations are scheduled to come.
The people of Los Angeles, both official
and laymen, are glad to welcome such
visitors and to explain the working of
the wheels"
But it happens that just at the pres
ent time there is an exceptional oppor
tunity for representatives of other cities
to gain an insight into the mysterious
influence that keeps Los Angeles in the
recognized lead of American cities in
progress and prosperity.
To be more specific, the chance is Of
fered now for outsiders to see the inner
working of the machinery that causes
the results which astonish observant
visitors. A handsome watch is an
object of admiration, but in order
to appreciate it's beauty fully it
is necessary to see the delicate
mechanism within. Just so, in order
to understand the marvel of this
citys splendid progress it is necessary
to see the working of the handspring on
which the perfect movement of the
wheels depends.
The handspring of the progress of this
city is laid bare just now, in full view of
all observers, citizens and strangers
alike. It's exhibition recalls the fable
wherein an old man, on the verge of the
grave, summons his several children.
he takes one and snaps it in two be-
tween his fingers. Then he ties several
of the sticks together and demonstrates
that the sticks cannot be broken when
thus united. The application of the
fable is seen in our national motto, I'm
union is strength"
Los Angeles never exhibited a more
striking example of the potency of union
the pull together habit'-than it is
showing at the present time. Every
citizen knows that the future life of the
city is dependent upon plentiful water
supply. Every one knows that it will
cost money to furnish a supply suf-
ficient for the Greater Los Angeles ol
the future. But every one appreciates
the Importance of grasping the oppor-
tunity ere it is too late, and of insurine
the citys great future Notwithstanding
the cost.
| And to that end the people Of this
city are bound together like the ole
mans sticks in the fable, so tightly thai
they cannot be separated. A rotter
stick is here and there, not worthy Of
the bundle, but the mass is so strong
that nothing can break it.
1t is this spectacle of the strength
in union-this exemplification of the Los
Angeles pull together habit" on al
questions of great public concern-tha
the delegations of northern cities shoult
witness now. Never was the mysterious
handspring Of the city's progress mort
plainly visible to all observers than it Il
today.
All classes of citizens, without dis
tinction of race, color or previous con
dition," are working together with tn,

ways.
