Roman empire. There, doubtless, on thc
very seats that tourists came TO see, no

comedies from Aeschylus and Arlstoph-
anes through Terrence and Seneca. why
NOT set one Of these tragedies on the same

notion stirred the warm provincial imagl-
nation of the citizens OF Orange. a iree
translation of SophocleS' 'Oedipus the

of the most impressive examples OF mis-

Mounet welcomed the opportunity; the

FORESTRY WORK A SUCCESS

"Aforestation, or the work of tree
planting in the United States, is one
of the greatest works before the ma
tion today. 1t is something which
we must undertake and prosecute
speedily If we are not to become bereft
of our timber resources In the very
near future.
1T involves the planting of tens
and tens of millions of acres of trees
in the eastern half of the country
the rainfall area-and the further
planting of tens Of millions of acres
in the western half or the arid and
semi-arid section. The magnitude of
the undertaking is we'll nigh appall-
ing yet the results will be more than
commensurate with the effort and the
cost. Tree planting is one OF the great
branches of the forestry problem,
than which there is perhaps no more
important public service"
These words of the chief forester
OF the United States. Clifford Pinchot,"
writes Guy f. Mitchell in the Technical
World Magazine, ARE sufficiently Wig
orous to attract the attention of even
the most indifferent citizen. There are
good many people, however, who
have come to realize that forestry is
ono of our really large and pressing in
ternal problems; but not so many con-
slider the possibilities or the necessity
OF forest planting on such gigantic
scale" The writer follows with de-
scription of the work OF the forestry
department and the success that has

nTSTRICT ATTORNEY FREDER-
ID ICKS is growing great clusters OF
leaves on his official halo, through
his effective work in defense of the
people against business marauders who
in season and out, prey upon defense
less householders, and who by reason
of long continued sufferance have
grown bold. It is in the little things
that the common people are most
wronged. Any person may raise a
shout for s23,00o,00O bond proposition,
or to condemn some titanic public
wrong, but it is difficult to get people
to register concerted kick on small
things
In the matters of ice and coal every
man, woman and child is deeply in
terested, not alone for themselves, but
for the good name and fame of Los
Angeles. Scores of people are here now
who have been in several localities on
the coast looking for home and being
driven from one place to another by
the piratical tactics of purveyors of
daily necessities have landed here,
building on the history of the city, that
no interest can be permitted to rob
them. They locate and purchase a
home. and find ice in the summer, and
coal all the year round. to be raised
more than anywhere else they have
been. The mail carries this fact to
other families of prospective home
seekers and Los Angeles is robbed of
her growing power.
The men who are directly responsible
for this state of things-who cultivate
it with a devilish persistency and call
it business-pass current as good citi-
gems and hold up their heads with as
much assurance as they hold up the
thanks and gratitude and bouquets fol

these men and lift them, root and

the supreme gall to raise prices 100 pei

The press and people are crying out
against graft in high places; it is
equally necessary to arraign grafters
who make law of mems necessities and
rob them in the name of business. Our
police courts were never charged with
more important duty than the check
ing and furnishing of such mean crimes
Los Angeles is not in mood tc
temporize with the ice trust and is
less inclined to allow tactics of robbery

that three out of four companies in the
trust are not local concerns.

pie and Democracy-and till 1t Is legally
strangled there can be no political
peace. Assumed virtues are no longer
current coin in national concerns; the
people have placed the Republican ma
chine in hole, and promises cannot
dig it out. Every shortcoming-and
they are legion-of the Republican reign
is directly traceable to criminal finan-
cial policy, and the people are deter
mined to have change. The fact that

absolute proof of these statements.

"MY POLICY"

nRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in his
Provincetown speech, gave un-
l. mistakable evidence that he will
not be a candidate for reelection, pro-
nouncing his own political death war
rant in the following words:
"Once for all let me say that, so far
as I am concerned, for the eighteen
months of my administration that re-
main there will be no changes in the
policy we have steadily pursued; no let
up in the effort to procure an honest
observance of the law, for regard this
contest one to determine who shall rule
this goveFnment-the people, through
their governmental agents, or few ruth
less, determined men whose wealth
makes them particularly formidable
because they are behind breastworks Of
corporate organization"
There is chapter in Republican
party history which is very applicable
here and President Roosevelt is invited
to take notice thereof. When President
Andrew Johnson launched and de-
Tended my policy" he was buried,
body, soul and breeches, by his party,
and never heard of again, even being
tried for high crimes and misdemeanors
in office, and missing impeachment only
| by one vote. This was not because
President Johnson was intrinsically or
politically wrong, but because he reck-
oned without his party. President
Roosevelt, knowing his party is-in the
main-composed of tariff "standpat-
ters," and that their policy has bred all
the troubles he means to check and thai
the said "standpatters," fearing the
moneyed ghost they have conjured uI
and would lay, are likely, for the sake
of the loaves and fishes to come in the
next campaign, to place him where the
party placed Andy Johnson years ago
and he would be wise to add another
covering or two of felt to the "bie
stick" or Joe Cannon will get him If he
doesn't watch out.
But eighteen months of intermittent
clubbing-and intermittent stuffing o.
the club-can be borne heroically by
trusts that have the price, and after al
a political grandstand play is necessar!

The touching concern which the presi

of how conditions force him to swim
the club and how they force him t
stuff it while he swings.

PUBLIC UTILITIES

N URING the past twenty years as
many attempts to get some form
~ of parcels post and Telegraph
bill through congress have been mad'
and few of them ever got out OF th'
committee room in which they were
decently inurned. 1t was not because
the need was not great and that the
service was lacking advocates; II was
not that experience in other countries
had proved anything against them; II
was solely because the express ano
telegraph companies of the country
were represented in the members seats
and particularly on the committee haV-
ing this matter in charge. 1t is openly
known that all members of congress
have the franking privilege, not only
in the mails but in express and tele-
graph offices also, and that this fact
keeps many of them from pushing legis-
lation inimical to the corporations
there can be no doubt.
1t is just as reasonable to place tele-
graph and parcel express service under
mail service there, and in countries
where this is done the results to govern
ment and people are excellent. Aus
tralia and New Zealand have had such
service for years, and one may send
wire message in either country for less
than half the charge in this country
and at these low rates the government
makes a fair profit on the business.
The greater benefit lies in the cheap
rates and excellent service for the
people.
In the countries mentioned the same
plants.-for mail service accommodate
wire,and parcels service, and the first
cost of building and material is at the
lowest possible figure obtainable in
open market, so that expenses are the
minimum for the maximum of service
and results. Such a thing is not pos
sible under private ownership schemes
which, like railroads in the hands OF
Hartman, are conducted with the sole
purpose of making large dividends.
In the few instances where bill for
a government telegraph service got out
of committee it was always possible to
tell who were Western Union members
and who were not, as that corporation
has always maintained powerful
lobby to defeat just such measures. If
the people could be educated on the sub
ject as it now stands in other countries
it is certain no member of congress
could be elected who did not pledge
himself to help pass such measure
and no senator could go to Washington
without such a pledge, for the good
reason that the people would exact 1t
from the state legislature that elected
him. There is so much of good in the
measure and absolutely no harm in it
that once free from corporation in
fiuence both houses of congress must
adopt it.
This latter fact leads up to the
growing conviction that the people will
yet elect their senators, and when that
time comes we can be sure of govern
ment ownership of telegraph and par
cells post service, and, evidently, not
till then.
