TARIFF

4 NDREW CARNBGIE'S confession
n that 1.-THE day has passed when
IA any foreign country can seriously
affect our steel manufacturers, tariff
or no tariff" is on his part belated
acknowledgment of a fact which has
been apparent for a long time to pa
triotic Americans. To high-tarin
every article produced in the United
States is an insult to the intelligence
of the nation, a direct reflection on
the ability Of our worknen and an
invitation to manufacturers to profit
by the governments commercial cow
ardice, and, by forming trusts and
arranging prices on an arbitrary and
not competitive basis, to loot the ma
ton. What would you think of the
conduct of young man whose limbs
were at one time rather weak If you
gave him a crutch and he persisted
in using it after his limbs were as
strong as a giants? And again, what
would you think of him if, when you
demonstrated with him, saying. you
look foolish with that crutch. Throw
it away" he called you conspirator
against his prosperity and broke mis-
crutch over your head? Some of the
manufacturers are behaving as If the
crutch were indispensable. Others,
like Carnegie, realize the great indus
tries of the country must throw away
artificial supports if they do not wish
to become demoralized. Commercial
and finally national Generalization Will
follow unnecessary protection" Just
as surely as these lines are written,
and not at all because these lines and
many others like unto them are being
written, but because a law is law
and a nation cannot escape the oper-
alton of physical, psychical and eco
nomical Jaws. If the tariff is revised
| in the interest of the trusts 1t will be-
| come more than ever detrimental ia
the interests of the nation. Tariff re-
vision should be tariff reform and tar
if reform should be thorough If the
nation is to continue to make progress
Mr.. Carnegie's remark applies not only
to iron and steel, but to all the great
manufacturing industries. THANK
1 heaven, 1.-The day has passed when any
| foreign country can seriously aftec'
any American manufacturers, tariff OF
no tariff" We are free and INDIE
PENDENT.

STEPHEN M. WHITE

~ TEPHEN NJ. WHITE is immortal
in the hearts of his countrymen,
~ but it was right and proper that
they should give the world an impress
sive testimony of their appreciation OF
the life and and the Network Of
the great Californian. This appre-
citation has taken the form of
the monument which was unveiled yes
terday with ceremony and with speech.
In this monument, not only the men-
ory of Senator White, but the citizen
ship and the Democracy of Senator
White are honored. By taking a firm
and Democratic stand against the
usurpation and encroachments of COR
poration power, he helped to maintain
the freedom of San Pedro harbor, and
to provide for Los Angeles and South
ern California the great seaport which
is ministering to the commercial in
terests of this section Of the country,
in the future growth and prosperity Of
which it will be an important factor
In his stand with regard to San Pc
dro harbor Senator White illustrated
only a phase of the sturdy all-around
regard for the right which character
lied him. A true servant Of the public.
he consistently and persistentlT put
public duty before private politics, and
1t was his ability and his willingness
to do this that made him statesman
and not a politician.
His services to the state cannot be
estimated oratorically, nor can they be
summed up in a brief editorial review
His name will be identified with the
history of California as the names OF
the Pilgrim Fathers are identified with
the early history of the New England
settlements; as the names Of Wash
ington. Hamilton and Jefferson are
identified with the early history OF
the Union.
And devotion to duty and to the
higher ideals which make life really
worth the living will forever be
preached to the people of Los Angeles
by the dumb lips of the silent, heroic
figure before the court house.

PUBLIC HEALTH

~ XPERTS say in order TO have a
X complete public health service, by
~ which the nation will be protected
thoroughly from disease, the federal,
state and city authorities should CO.
operate. In matter Of this kind, of
such vital Importance, the less red tape
there is the better it is for the COM
munity. A harmonious method of CO.
operation could be devised easily. Prac-
tically all the machinery is in exist
ence. A little more may be needed. but
in the main the question is one of adj
justment.
From time to time appear ominous
reports to the effect the national health
is menaced, but free comment on these
reports is not encouraged, and it is
right caution should be observed in
discussing them, for the suggestion OF
disease is followed frequently by dis
ease. Christian Scientists say this is a
fixed rule, and incidentally that it
proves their theories. Regular practi-
toners also will admit readily that
when a portion of the public becomes
unduly alarmed over any type OF dis
ease, that very type of disease, or one
closely resembling it, is apt to make
its appearance among the people who
are scared.
Therefore no question is more difficult
to discuss in a newspaper than that of
the public health, for on the one hand
we do not wish to disseminate any dis
ease ideas, and on the other we believe
it is our duty to call public attention
to the fact that experts are demanding
a reform or extension of hygienic legis-
lation which will enable the authorities
to war against disease more effectually,
and will not place them in the position
of a country which mounts a formidable
gun battery before the city hall of it's
metropolis, but neglects to fortify the
frontier.

CITES INSTANCE TO PROVE
GOLDEN RULE is PRACTICAL

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5.-[Editor
Herald; When 1 suggested the prac-
tice of the Golden Rule as a remedy for
existing evils I little thought that Val
Stone would be the one to object and
call 1t an Aspiration" 1t was proved
possible by The Herald account OF q
woman being arrested for stealing a
hose. When she had conducted the Of
ficer to the place from which she took
the hose the owner asked the hapless
creature why she did so. She answered
to keep from starving, and the owner,
instead of saying, "Lock her up" gave
ample when he said to the woman, Go
and sin no more" When one gets a
one-idea theory that he thinks. If put
into practice, would reform the world,
he Is on the wrong side of the fence.
Neither Socialism nor any other man
made laws will ever take the place of
the commandments, which are the
natural laws. When they are violated
society and individuals suffer.
I have hopes of Val, as he believes in
the Golden Rule, if not in the practice.
ct. K. G." is right when he says that
Women are most bitter against the
woman who goes wrong"
We have tried every means to effect
reforms except the teaching and ex-
ample of Jesus. Force will not do
witness the holy wars of England anu
the Spanish inquisition-nor will fear,
as the criticisms on Mr.. Torrey's
methods. teaching fear and vengeance,
prove.
If a few of us would try to follow in
Jesus footsteps gradually others would
fall into line, and in a few years the
procession would be a long one. Lii
censing of evils for revenue would be a
thing of the past. The practice of the
Golden Rule would put the majority on
the right side. MRS. A. r. M.

CHICAGO has her own 'Pouren"
case The extraditIon of Lettish
" peasant named Rudowitz a Rus
sias subject now residing in this city,
is asked by the Russian government
under the treaty of 1893, and the issues
involved in this proceeding are identi-
cal with those of the Pouren affair.
Both of these emigrants or refugees are
accused of Ordinary" crimes of the
gravest character-murder, arson, con-
spiracy to commit murder, and so on,
says the Chicago Record Herald.
If these immigrants are criminals
and fugitives from justice, even Rus
sian justice, the duty to surrender
them under the treaty of 1898 is
clear, and no one even among the
former oppressed subjects of the car
would lift a finger to oppose extradt-
ton. But the prisoners and their
friends assert vigorously that the Of
fenses charged were political in their
nature-that is, that they were COM
mitted as part of revolutionary, anti
monarchical plots and movements at
times of storm and stress, Of civil war
and mutual reprisals.
The Pouren case Is now being re-
tried Secretary Root having dismissed
the original proceeding, after the fed
eral commissioner had granted the
writ, on the ground that certain evil

VANITY OF VANITIEs

IT ANITY OF vanlties, saith the
Y preacher: all wealth is vanity.
His name is Andrew Carnegie.
He tells us there's nothing in it"
Here is his plant: Beyond a compe-
tence for old age. which need not be
great and may be very small, wealth
lessons rather than increases human
happiness. Millionaires who laugh are
rare. The deplorable family Quarrels
which so often afflict the rich gener-
ally have their rise in sordid diff
ferences about money. The most mis-
cradle men, as old age approaches. are
those who have made money-making
their god. Like flies bound to the
Wheel these unfortunates fondly be-
lieve they were really driving it, only
to find when tired and craving rest it
was impossible for them to get Off
and they are lost-plenty to retire upon
and nothing to retire to. And so they
end as they began, striving to add to
their useless boards, passing into moth
ingness, leaving their money behind
for heirs to quarrel over, only because
they cannot take it with them-a mel
ancholy end, much less enviable than
that of their poorer fellows. Wealth
confers no fame, although it may buy
titles where such prevail. Nor are the
memories Of millionaires as a class
fondly cherished. It is a low and vul-
gar ambition to amass money which
should always be the slave, never the
master, of man."
This declaration or confession. which
bears every evidence of sincerity, is,
in our opinion, the strongest plea for
social reform that has ever been writ
ten.
If men who have more than a fair
share of the wealth of the nation are
disconnected because of a condition
which makes other citizens discomfort
ed and unhappy, the present system
seems to be an utter failure at both
ends of the line, and the "polloi" who
live in the middle have to cultivate
philosophy and try to keep their
health, because they know only phil
osophy will prevent them from being
miserable with discomfort, and only
the possession of good health will pre-
vent them from being starved to death
by their competitive fellow human
beings.
Doesn't it seem like maniacal folly
to go on and on and on, clinging with
might and main as If our lives and
the national life depended on 1t to a
parvenu economical system which does
not represent primary truths, but came
into vogue with the invention Of the
spinning jenny? with the growth
of the spinning jenny into elaborate
machinery that fills huge workshops,
it grew and was increased in power
and tyranny until it produced 'classes"
in the country which in its statement
of first principles repudiates the 'class"
idea, saying: 1--WE hold these truths
to be self evident, that ALL men are
created EQUAL, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights" Are We as a ma
ton temporarily little bit crazy? Or
are we only forgetful? Or can it be
possible we are ashamed of our origin
and wish to discountenance and dis
continue the vulgar truths which
made the nation great?

STRANGE ASSERTION

A MORNING newspaper asserts that
IN a general belief in a future life in
IA which people will know their own
loved ones, relatives and friends would
cause an increase in the number of
suicide. We are shocked by our
contemporary uncanny and un-
sound deduction from somewhat aim
less theorizing. 1t is a fact that in
countries where a settled belief in the
future state is most real, where it ex-
lists along with daily life, where there
is no question of it, where no doubt
is expressed, suicide is far less COM
mon than in countries where conditions
exist which invite editorials like that
to which we refer. In Presbyterian
countries, where suicide is almost I'M
known, the reunion of friends after
death is accepted unquestioningly as a
natural and logical corollary of earth
life A certain course of conduct and
belief is supposed to govern. the human
on earth, but our neighbor will find
that for infractions of the laws of con-
duct and belief separation is as COM
mon and general on earth as it could
be anywhere else. It Is only natural
there should be a separation between
1.-THE sheep and the goats" hereafter,
inasmuch as there is a separation, and
sometimes a very arbitrary separation,
between the sheep and the goats on
earth. The existence of penitentiaries,
states prisons. hospitals, infrmaries
and lunatic asylums on earth would
indicate a great deal of the business
of the inferno is carried on in this
mundane sphere while yet the dark
river is unforded.
We may also call attention to the
hen-like conditions of perpetual pun
ishment inflicted by one class of society
on another.
A visit to the neither regions of New
York or Chicago will convince anyone
there is a plausible reason for the sep
aration theory urged by many churches
We do not say the theories are true
Do not misunderstood this article. We
merely say that earth conditions today
suggest the possibility of disagreeablC
conditions beyond. Therefore it is bet
ter to endure the ills we have than t.
| fly to others that we know not of, anC
if we can alter conditions and change
"evil" to good" so much the better
for us and for the world. 1t is fantas
tically absurd, however, to say that E
settled belief in future state would
cause the survivors of deceased rela
tives and friends to commit suicide
Some of us would be too brave t.
commit suicide. Others would be tot
cowardly. And our friend must CIV,
a considerable proportion of our popu
lation credit for the possession of com
mon sense.

TEACHERS TOUR

n EADERS of The Herald will see
II. from the contest" page that the
~ nominating coupon emitting a
teacher to 100 votes will not appear af-
ter Sunday, December 10. It is the in
tention of The Herald to send to the
Alaska ukon-Pacific exposition twelve
teachers, six from Los Angeles county,
three from the city Of Los Angeles and
three from the county at large outside
of the city; one from San Bernardino
county, one from Orange county, one
from Santa Barbara county, one from
Riverside county, one from Kern county
and one from Ventura county. The
Herald has invited its readers to nom
mate and elect the delegates.
Much interest is being shown in the
contest, the terms of which are easily
fulfilled, and we have no doubt that in
its results 1t will be most satisfactory
to all concerned. We have frequently
expressed our appreciation of teach
ers and OF the splendid work they are
doing for the nation, and our readers
will help us to make our appreciation
still more evident by selecting twelve
of these excellent public servants who
will visit the Alaska-Y ukon-Pacific ex-
position to be held at Seattle,
Wash, June to October 10, 1909. This
exposition is well worth seeing, and
the teachers trip will be well worth
taking. The exposition will cost $1O,-
100000, and will be the greatest enter
prise of its kind the west coast has
ever attempted. Not only will the
teachers tour add to the health and
happiness of the lucky twelve who are
selected by our readers, but 1t will be
of great educational value.

DECLARES PRACTICE OF THE
GOLDEN RULE IMPOSSIBLE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.-[EditoI
Herald: Since MRS. A. R. M
through your Public Letter Box has re-

The fundamental principle of this
system is competition, and this is the
verv antithesis of the principle of the
so-called Golden rule. The word com

term for antagonism, contention strIe
rivalry. distrust, jealousy, hate' anu
savage and inhuman cunning.
The competitive system is corrupl

Relentless Russia PurSneS
Poor Political Refugees

denoe favorable to the accused had not
been introduced, owing to misunder-
standing of our law and practice by his
attorneys. The Rudowitz case will
doubtless be properly handled, and IL
the prisoners counsel can show that
his alleged crimes were purely political
they will. under the treaty, obtain his
release. 1t is sometimes very hard to
establish the political character of Of
lenses, but the treaty contemplates a
large amount of discretion in the gov
eminent.
1t has been a matter of surprise that
Russia, whose hands are surely full,
should of late have displayed so much
energy and persistence in trying to
secure alleged fugitives. Some think
that she is seeking to deprive revolu-
tionists of an asylum in this country,
but the more probable explanation is
that the Stolypin ministry, which deems
itself constitutional" and liberal" is
bound to impress the world with it's
dignity and self-respect. The Wanted
polly of "strong-handed reform" may
include insistence on the recognition
of all treaty rights by foreign powers.
Stolypin's definition of political crime
may, however, differ from that of Eng
land, the United States, Switzerland
and other countries where Russian
revolutionists have found asylum for
decades.
