CHARACTERISTICS OF MAN
AND STATE ALIKE IGNORED

PASADENA. Nov. 2O.-[Editor Her
add: The fallacies of theorizers in
crease with the complexity of the prob
lens. OF all problems those referring
to society are the most complex. When
they apply to the future they become
absolutely incalculable. That's the
reason why laws rarely accomplish
what they are enacted for.
But when the nature of the main
factors in q problem remains uncon-
sidered the conclusions are worthless.
White quotes Enget. In Engels' the
DRY the characteristics of both man and
state have been neglected. But man
and state are the things the theory
centers on. The imaginary picture
quoted is therefore no better than fairy
tales.
1t is the predominant characteristic
of the state to devote it's powers to
strengthening the state. 1t is the ma
ture of man to bolster the system OF
which he is the beneficiary. Therefore
do officials support the state, right or
wrong, until time comes when the
opposition gets SO strong that there is
a chance for a change of masters. Then
officials transfer loyalty from the side
on which their bread is buttered to
that on which 1t is likely to remain
buttered.
When the state takes over all eco
nomic resources, Sin the name of the
people"-just as all aggression and OPP
preston of the people is done now In
the name of the people-then the Off
cials will consider themselves their
friends, relatives, favorites, as the
state, as the people, and administer for
their benefit.
But, say you, the people will elect
these officials. BY initiative, referen-
dunn, recall and fundamental laws they
will control them. So do the people
nominally now. There is no sound rea-
son to assume that it will be different
then. The history of these United
States since Jefferson disprove the as

low, on Spreckels and Burns. Which
was the coward--Hearst or Haas? In
this partnership of sympathy which
man took the chances? Hearst hated
Heney with the same malignant. and
consuming spirit as did Haas, but
Hearst took the methods of the sneak
to crafty his hate. Which was the
coward?
In this day of the American common
wealth the grayest danger that con-
fronts government by the people is the
spirit of lawlessness SO prevalent. 1t
is the appalling fact that this spirit is
found as strong among the wealthy and
the educated as among the lowly--nay,
stronger. Patrick Calhoun is as much
a law breaker and vastly more danger
GUS than the footpad on the streets.
BY their wealth and aggressiveness
these outlaws give tone TO society and
set themselves up as examples for imi
tation by aspiring youth. 1t is the first
function of a free press to put these
people where they belong in public es-
timation. But If that press is traitor
to its trust, even as Hearst is traitor.
what hope is there for the republic?
If the press is vile and Sycophant to
successful rogues, as Hearst is vile and
sycophant, what hope is there for the
republic? If the press uses all its en-
ginery to defeat justice and discredit
the men who would enforce the law,
what hope is there for the republic?
Is this arraignment of Hearst over
stated? He has applied every energy
to discredit the graft prosecution and
to breed hatred for the officers of
the law. He has condoned dynamiting
and kidnapping and could see in these
crimes only cause for ridicule. The
inexorable logic of his campaign was
murder.
This is the responsibility that Hearst
must face. The lesson that he got
when Mckinley was assassinated upon
his provocation was not enough. Then,
as now, he ran for cover, but the
mans instincts are incurably vicious.
He cannot escape from himself

CHRISTMAS

RE you assisting in the prepare
lions which are being made for d
- big Christmas festival to be given
by Santa Claus, per his steward, Los
Angeles Herald? There is an old
Roman saying which fits the case.
HE gives twice who gives quickly"
This shows that in all probability the
old Romans had their Childrens festi-
walls and similar entertainments, and
we Should not be surprised at this, for,
after all, the Romans civilized our an
oestors, and we are indebted to them
for a great deal, including the alpha
bet. In the same style of letters that
Caesar used, we appeal to you to re-
member the virtue of prompt giving.
Gifts, both in money and in kind, are
already coming in. We do not wish
to have our Christmas staff over
whelmed with work during the last
few days before Christmas. We would
much prefer, If it is all the same to
our readers, to make our plans method
ically, so that when Christmas arrives
everything will be in apple-pie order
Please do not forget that small gifts
as well as big gifts are acceptable.
Anything which will make Christmas
cheer for the boys and girls will be
welcome. If you cannot spare dollar,
send a dime. Many a little makes a
muckle, and dimes soon add up to
dollars We thank all the friends who
have already responded to Santa Claus
invitation to help the good work. The
Herald will acknowledge promptly all
gifts that are made. 1t is already evil
dent the Christmas festival will be a
big success. But no success can be
too big and nothing can be too good
for the boys and girls of Los Angeles.

Race course Crime

The work of the Emeryville race
course goes on merrily. According to
the press dispatches, George B. Root,
jr, club man and member of a promi-
nent Oakland family, has been arrest
ed on the charge of having stolen and
pawned his father-in-law's silver heir
looms, which had for generations been
in the family. In addition to this, he
is suspected of having taken silverware
and jewelry from other relatives. Root,
who it is alleged has been patronizing
the Emeryville track, exhausted his
own resources and stopped to the rob-
berry of his relatives to keep UP the
game-Alameda Times.

THE WAR FLEET.

Of course most people always had an idea that the war fleet was not be-
 ing sent to tine Pacific on a mere junk otmg trip Going at a time when war rumors Were rife. it's mission was at least suspicious. Anyhow, the great expense of the journey. it was certain, could not be justified by any reason other than one of great cogency.
 Still the news that it was actually dispatched as am answer to the demand of the Japanese ambassador in the matter of the coolios. comes as an illu- mlnatine ray on the shadowy subject which has been the topic of conversa- lion for SD long time
 Things have now. it is evident. come 10 a pass where war is certainly not a remote possibility The fleet was nev- CT dispatched unless the matter had assumed most serious aspect But stm thcr. is nothing to be alarmed at.

The student of the history of labor agi- t5tions will readily perceive
 In the beginning the general demand was for arbitration Trade unionists were eager for such settlement of their claims and Were ioud in their denun- ,iatious of the employers for uot being willing at any time (" submit any Of their business interests to the scrutiny and disposal of an alien umpire. and Ne were assured that it was only after the employees had asked for arbitration and it had been refused by arrogant employers that they sought a final and desperate resort of strike. The next stage, which still largely prevails, was tp strike first, and afterward. in case the strike seemed unlikely to succeed. to ask for arbitratiou-an illogical and unreasonable arrangement. Now comes the third stage in the process of evo- mtion. in a frank declaration against arbitration or conciliation. on the ground that workmcn are more likely 10 get what they want through strik- ing than through either of those more temperate processes.
 This decision is a natural sequence of recent legislation in the United Kingdom. We can scarcely imagine that a trade union congress of few years ago would have made it, when the Taff Vale decision was in force and "picketinG' was under the ban. For then strike meant nothing more than quitting and refrainng from work, and therefore was not always effective in bringing employers to terms. But now tho Taff Vale decision has been an- nulled and picketing has been made lawful, so that if an employers prop crty is damaged or destroyed by strik- CTS the labor union cannot be held re- sponsible for indemnity, and other pooesses than those of intellectual
