WILL PEOPLE VOTE FOR soTEYE
OR FOR GOOD OLD AMERIcANisM?

LOS ANGELES, Sept. z9.-rEditor
Herald: Some one has said that his
tory repeats itself, and as that saying
Is likely to be verified In this campaign
I want to call attention to an incident
that occurred In Arkansas during the
early '70s, when the voter made his
ticket on any old piece of blank paper.
A man by the name of Meyers was a
candidate for assessor of Fulton county.
but having some deformity of the eye
the boys nicknamed him "Soteye." The
old fellow being quite good natured
took kindly to his new name and made
his campaign under the name OF Sot-
eye. He received a handsome vote on
election day. part of which was voted
for "Soteye" and the remainder for
Meyers. An arbitrary election board,
however, refused to credit Meyers with
"Soteye's" votes; hence he was de-
feated.
Now, it Is generally understood that
to the political fortunes of his foster
father, Theodore Roosevelt, and all the
votes cast for Roosevelt should be
credited to Taft, as Mr.. Roosevelt has
expressly set forth that he wants Mr..
Taft to come In possession OF his politi-
cal fortunes, including the presidency,
and has fully directed that one William
Randolph Hearst act es executor of his
political estate, without bonds or re-
gard to facts; hence / suggest that the
Los Angeles Examiner protect the fair
name of Southern California. by seeing
to 1t that all the votes cast for "Soteye"
are credited to Meyers, and not allow,
Mr. Bryan's impudent question: "Shall
the people ruler" to keep Ohio's 8 learned
jurist out of his rightful political pos
sessions. G.. A. OYLER.

Among them one finds mice, rats,

Rather I address those others who

fred Henry Lewis in the New Broad

These innocent ones comprise O. great

passive, army. They are the taxpayers
as contradistinguished from the tax
eaters. They neither hold office nor
hope to hold office. There isn't pub

directly, they have fixed the eye OF
anticipation. The most they may pub
licly get is government, mere govern
ment, and they only ask that 1t be In

The experimenters and inrentors of

carry fourteen persons. It requires
100000 cubic feet OF hydrogen gas
which costs $5 per thousand to pur-
chase or $4,000 for the 100000 cubic
feet. The war diriglbles OF the English
government pattern carries three per-
sons, being about 120 feet long and re-
quirlng $1,000 cubic feet Of gas costing
$3.50.
The aeroplane is not balloon and
does not use gas. It has construction
of varying designs according to the
different ideas of Wright, Farman,
Delagrange and others. The aeroplane
is based In part upon the idea OF a box
kite and In part upon that OF the bird.
A gasoline engine produces the motive

needs the most sl1illful balancing to
keep from falling over, either on the
ground or in the air. In fact. It is nec-
essary to have a prepared or very level
ground on which to make descent.

DECLARES HERBERT SPENCER
Is MUCH MlSREPREsENTED

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30-[Editor
Herald: I certainly thought that
Economist had knocked d. ]. M. clear
out of the ring with his conclusive
demonstration-follo Sir Henry
Maine, Herbert Spencer and others
that, by the nature of things. co-opera-
tion must belong to. one of two classes,
coluntary or compulsory. But d. j. M.
turns up again, unabashed, and this
time with two of the most extraord-
mary statements have ever seen in
print.
The first is that Herbert Spencer was
not a sociologist. Spencer's first great
work was "Social Statics," and volume
after volume he devoted to sociology,
his especial object being to explode
what he considered the great modern
political superstition-belief In the
state. His position was precisely that
OF Nietzsche, when he says with such
vigor: sThe state is called the coldest
of all cold monsters. And coldly it
lieth; and this lie creepeth out of it's
mouth: i, the state. am the people," !"
For this reason Spencer condemned all
state industry schemes, as in his plea
for Liberty"
d. j. M. had better read the "Plea
for Liberty" and he will see that the
very point he says Spencer ignores is
the one Spencer actually lays the great
est stress on--what he calle the vast
difference between wood and iron and
sentient nerves. In fact the whole es-
say is based on that very difference

GRAND OILY PARTY

n EPORTS and disclosures tend to
X show that the Republican party
~ is In the condition of the Augean
stables. 1t needs cleaning. Now Judge
Charles Nagel, who in the absence OF
Chairman Hitchcock Is in charge OF
Republican national headquarters
must be added to the list of the OLE
aginous. In order to explain rumors
connecting his name with, the fatetul
"On" which has already been deadly
to several political regulations, the
judge gave out a statement admitting
that the law firm in which he Is
partner is acting in a professional
capacity for the Waters-Pierce OIL
company. Presumably he wishes the
public to understand that while pro-
fessionally he is "oiled," non-profes-
sionally and politically he Is oil-free
The discerning public is In a peculiar
state of mind with regard to the oil
smear over the leaders of the Grand
Oily Party. and may refuse to rfcog-
nize difference twixt Tweedledum
Nagel, counsel for the waters-Pierce
Oil company, and Tweedledee Nagel OF
Republican national headquarters.
And what shall be said OF George
R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Repuo-
'lican national committee. whose cor
poration connections and corporation
record would justify his retirement II
the Republican party were thoroughly
determined to initiate Hercules and
clean the stables?
From a Republican point of view
there would be only one drawback to
this belated political Herculean task.
When the cleaning was over, so much
of the effective fighting force OF the
G. o. P. might be cleaned out that
the Republican party, although clean,
would be as lonesome as deserted
street in Spotless Town.

FRUIT INDUSTRY

mt ATIQNALLY and internationally
the California fruit industry is
~ growing more and more impor-
tant. The story which sounded so
large" to incredulous easterners is still
true, and the incredulous easterners
who did not come to California and go
into fruit are objects of pity to the
credulous ones who came to the lana
of promise. This true story is that
a small piece of California land, which
in the east would not be big enough to
grow hog feed all the year round, and
would require an immense amount OF
toll and fussing to produce its meager
yield, in California, planted to fruit
and cared for properly and intelligent
ly, would earn an annual income larger
than that of the average professional
man in the east Canada, Britain and
the continent of Europe now compete
with the home market for California
fruit. The question of production has
been settled. All or practically all the
experiments have been tried. The plo-
neer found out what fruits paid and
what fruits were hardly worth while.
lie found out methods of culture
methods of harvesting, methods of
Grating and preparing for shipping.
The question Of profitable distribu-
ton is still a subject of debate, and en-
cages the keenest attention of speakers
and audiences like those who attended
the first convention of the exchange.
But before many more conventions
shall have met that problem too will
be solved. and the fruit grower will
know exactly when, where and how to
send his products to a profitable mar
ket and reap the reward of his skill,
patience, pluck and perseverance.

Il INDIVIDUAL aeroplanes are to be
the newest development In aerial
navigation. Just as you used to
take your bicycle from where 1t leaned
against the front stoop, mount 1t ana
ride to the postoffice for your mail, so
at some future time, not far distant,
II minds which are now working on the
problem succeed, you will strap your
aeroplane to your back, jump in the
air and ride swiftly to your destina-
tion. Much thought and money are
now being devoted by European expert
menters to the invention Of individual
aeroplanes.
Navigation of the air is one hundred
and twenty-four years old, and the
spherical balloon known to the world
! for that length of time still remains
fundamentally unchanged. AS a sport
ballooning is safer and cheaper than
automobiling and more fascinating. 1t
requires much less skill to operate a
balloon than a motor car. The owner
OF balloon requires no aerial chauf-
feur for after comparatively short tui-
ton and practice he can learn to oper-
ate It himself. In order to become a
balloon pilot under the rules of the In
ternational Aeronautic federation one
must have made at least ten ascen-
sions, one OF which must be at night
United States twelve such licensed
pilots.
Although the insurance companies
do not like to accept as risks persons
engaged in ballooning, as matter Of
fact the danger is infinitesimal The
balloonist may learn to ascend and de-
scend without injury, He has the
means of regulating absolutely the
ascension and descension OF the ball
loon. The only danger is that OF being
driven by the wind out to sea, and
that danger can be escaped by not as
cending near the seashore, or else, in
case the operator sees that he is being
blown to sea, he can make a hasty de-
scent on the shore.
The cost of ballooning is SO slight as
compared with automobiling, that 1t
must inevitably grow rapidly In favor
with persons of sufficient leisure and
means. Reference is made of course

WOMAN RIDDLES TAFT's LINE
OF sLIPsHoD PHILOSOPHY

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.-[Editor
Herald: In q recent address before
a company of women, Mr.. Taft said
he believed women should have the
ballot when all women want to vote.
Reasoning along these lines, Mr.. Tart
would be logical If he believed thai
no woman should enter college until
all women desire a collegiate educa-
ton; no woman should become
teacher until all women want to pc
come teachers; no woman should
marry until all women want to marry.
To this proposition President Roosevelt
would probably make strenuous OBJ
lection.
According to Mr. Taft's reasoning.
no foreign-born man may become
naturalized citizen until all foreign
born men have expressed willing
ness to take out naturalization papers.
Verify, such reasoning Is Taftiniani
Mr.. Taft believes in restricting the
voting power to monopoly composed
of men only.
This is to be expected Of one who
holds his position because of the sup
port of the privileged classes; he has
scant use for freedom and liberty in
their highest and truest meaning.

HEARST

MFR. HEARST says he lost $15SO00
mi and an immense amount of yalu-
LII able advertising by supporting
Mr.. Bryan with the New York Journal.
This is nonsensieal. Men we'll informed
as to Hearst's career say the support
of Bryan in the first campaign was the
financial master stroke of Hearst's life
and made the Journal a paying invest
ment by giving it circulation and ad-
vertising.
The causes of Mr.. Hearst's present
political course are fairly well known.
His past history gives clew to It,
Some years ago Coils P. Huntington,
before a committee of congress, made
the statement that the Southern Pa
from the San Francisco Examiner for
thirty months at $1,000 per month; that
the contract was kept and the price
paid for twenty-five months; that the
contract was then violated by certain
publications made in the Examiner;
that the company thereupon refused to
pay the remainder of the price and de-
fled Mr.. Hearst to sue for 1t. A fac
smile of the contract was published
and showed that part of the consid-
GRAFTON for the monthly payments was
that the paper should treat the COM
pany "fairly'' during its continuance.
Mr.. Hearst refuses to support Mr..
Bryan because neither Mr.. Bryan nor
the Democratic party will stOop to buy
support. IL is obvious that if there has
been any yellow "dickering' it has been
transacted with the Republicans for
whom Hearst is now WORKING
