PRICE OF MILITARISM

TT IS impossible to have militarism
without paying the ransom price it
4 exacts. In the economy of ma
tional affairs, as soon as mllltarlsn
outruns actual necessity, as soon as it
exceeds in costliness the amount that
would give a reasonable guarantee of
national safety. 1t becomes burden
some. represents in itself a waste OF
national energy and the expenditures
it requires is a waste of national re-
sources. The term world power" con-
veyed a false meaning to those who
were attracted by it. America was
world power, had been for many years
a world power, when at the close OF
the Spanish war distant dependencies
were added to Uncle Sans broad home
acres.
World power means taxation, not for
the purpose of protecting home indus
tries, but of protecting distant depen-
dencies. The United States was MORE
of a moral world power before 1T an
nexed distant islands than It is today.
OF course If war with an oriental row.
of the distant islands would be indis-
pensable to the success of the Ameri-
can navy. But since the possession of
the islands might in itself be wrested
into a provocation for war it will be
seen that imperialism and militarism
have produced possibilities of a situa-
ton perplexing and paradoxical. The
best argument for the retention of Pa
cific possessions is their possible use
for coaling stations and bases of OPP
Grafton in war time. But without them
we might have a profound and per-
petual mercantile and manufacturing
peace, and with them we may be in
volved in an armed controversy. No
American would criticise an armed es-
tablshment that would preserve peace.
But when militarism is accompanied
by bread riots and mass meetings of
the hungry and unemployed all good
citizens will acquit us of any motive
but the highest patriotism when we
say peace and tranquility at home, and
"a square deal for everybody" are
more important than earth shaking
armies and navies that sweep through
the stormy deeps of the Seven Seas.
After all, as Robert Burns said
To make a happy firestde chime
WI weans and wife
Is the true pathos and sublime
o human life.

LIMITED TRUSTS

THE national Democracy, through
John Sharp Williams of Missis-
Il sippi, leader of the minority in
the house of representatives, has taken
issue with the proposal of President
Roosevelt to penalize the boycott, with
his assertion of the right of the attor-
ney general to nominate receivers when
common carriers are thrown into the
hands Of a receiver, with the proposal
that the Sherman antitrust law should
bo modified so as to permit within
limitations the maintenance of trusts
and the making of trade agreements
between combinations of capital, and
the appointment of a commission to
prepare data for a revision of the
tariff.
The maintenance of trusts within
limitations is an outrageous sugges-
ton. 1t is dangerous to the public, be-
cause it legalizes trusts in a modified
form. 1t is unfair to trusts because it
perlnits one kind of trusts and bans
another, and strange indeed it is that
any distinction or discrimination
should be attempted twiXt tweedledum
and tweedledee. We wonder what the
country would have thought if Presi-
dent Lincoln's emancipation proclama-
tlon had split hairs and fiddle faddled
over the main question and had main

THE SUNDAY HERALD
r OS ANGELES SUNDAY
HERALD had the world for

II OS ANGELES SUNDAY
HERALD had the world for
Ia field, and news of human
interest gathered from every
portion of the globe was printed
in its columns. Its supply of To-
cal matter was as adequate as
usual, that is to say, for home
news it held first place among
home papers, not only in number
of items printed, but in quality
and in the method of presenting
the news. 1t is part of the policy
of the new Herald to give all the
news compactly, and to sacrifice
verbiage to concise statements of
facts. In this way a great many
separate items, each a story in
itself, are gathered together in
one issue. Nothing that is essen
tial is sacrificed, but nothing that
is unessential is retained. There
fore, the columns of The Herald
are the best that can be offered
for busy men who wish to get at
the gist of the news without
waste of time, and they are also
the best for people of more lei
sure, for whom special features
are provided.
These special features of The
Sunday Herald were attractive,
clean and high class. Its supple
ments contained much more than
routine matter and its contents
were better than those of an av-
erage monthly magazine. The ex-
ira reading provided was of high
literary quality, and again demon
strated the fact that a Sunday
paper may be prepared without
departments that might well be
called Chamber-of-Horrors Sup
plements. There are plenty of le-
gitimate stories of human inter-
est without inventing weird or
revolving, fantastic falsehoods,
which are neither good for the
nervous system nor the morals OF
those who read them. The Sum
day Herald, both as newspaper
and as a repository of good read
ing. was not rivaled, if indeed it
was equaled, by any paper on the
coast, or for that matter IN the
broad United States.

tanned that under certain limitations
slavery was permissible? In measures
of reform, finicky distinctions are inn
possible. That kind of treatment of
difficult questions has unfortunately
been tried over and over again, now
by the senior branch of the English
speaking peoples, now by the Junior,
and it has invariably led to mischief.
Whatever is done should be done with
decision and precision, and the Repub-
lican government should not be allowed
to think the American people will sit
patiently by while it messes about in
the political kitchen, puttering and
sputtering. preparing one kind of sauce
for a trust goose and another kind of
sauce for a trust gander. 1t won't do.
Even If it was intended as an act of
leniency or of over charitable con-
sideration to the trusts 1t won't do! 1t
is unfair to the trustsi 1t should be

there are groups of honest business con-
Germs with interests in common. we
have no reference to them when we use
the word trusts, and government should

make it clear that antitrust legislation
does not apply to them. Reformers
will not encourage careless legislation
that may cause injustice. Surely 1T is
easy to be explicit. Having adopted
a definition of the word trust, stick
to it.
Agreements on plans of action be-
tween responsible business concerns

THE WRONG PIG

TN CONDEMNING the retail liquor
traffic reformers have the wrong
Il pig by the ear. 1t Is no wonder
that it feels aggrieved and squeals lus-
tily as it views the menacing, shining
knife, for after all it is only of the
brood of a major evil. 1t is the result
the effect, of the causative fact that
great distilleries are in active operation
in the United States producing revenue
for the federal government and poison
for the people.
IT is waste of time to attack the lit
tie pig and let the big pig roam and
grunt and gorge and grow fatter and
fatter. Temperance reformers must
seize the right pig, the manufacturer
of liquor, and shut up shop for MIN.
With the big pig out of business the
little pig, whether blind or able-Vis-
ioned, will soon perish from inanitiOn
caused by lack of nourishment.

n vived at the Burbank this week
to the obvious delight of Burbank
patrons. The play has been presented
here several times, always at the Bur-
bank. and 1t has always proved pop
ular. The cast this season differs only
in minor roles from that which played
the piece upon it's last former presen-
tation.
''In South Car'liney" is so we'll known
to the Burbank clientele there seems
little need to comment upon its mer-
its--or it's demerits-at this late day.
On the whole, 1t is an excellent play of
its kind 1t tells an interesting and a
not too improbable story; its comedy
is funny and Its character types,
whether accurate or not, are anus
ing.
Members of the Burbank company fit
into the several roles of this play as
though the melodrama had been writ
ten for that organization. William Des-
mond does some forceful and convinc-
ing acting as Marsh Dixon, and Maude
Gilbert, leading woman for the week,
is simple, unaffected and effective in
the role of Leila Sniffens. Both Mr..
Desmond and Miss Gilbert are at their
best in these parts. Then. too. A. Byron
Beasley does excellently as Jefferson
Page, the villain of the piece. In mel
odrama the villain is an important per-
sonage and Beasley has succeeded in
making this one important, without
over-acting, which, in its way, is an
achievement.
Henry Stockbridge contributes pop
ular character bit as Bill Buffens, the
tramp. He isn't at all like the south
ern vagabond in real life, but doubt
less the audience wouldn't have him
otherwise. All he had to do yester-
day afternoon to provoke a laugh was
to walk upon the stage and his song,
"Girls, Girls, Girls" met with lively ap-
probation.
John w. Burton plays an old south
ern major in his accustomed vein: H.
]. CHM gives us a diverting picture of
a South Car'liney druggist, and the
others do we'll what the playwright has
required of them.
The melodrama is we'll played, we'll
staged and it is good-melodrama.
