FINDS TIMELY QUOTATION
IN SENATOR COLES BOOK

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 23.-[Editor Her
add: Permit me to call the attention
of your readers to a quotation from
Senator Coles memoirs which seems
singularly applicable at this time. The
following philosophic words are taken
from page 247, Memoirs of Cornelius
Cole":
"McDougall believed, as many al
ways have believed, that the evils of
q political party could be corrected
from within and through the agency
of it's own organization; thing, by
the way, that has seldom been accom-
plished. That hope is on a level Will
the plan of reforming criminals by an
appeal to their better nature, a theory
quite delightful, but far from practical.
The world has never yet been able to
dispense with prisons and other meth
ods of furnishing infractors ,f the law.
Human nature will have to undergo p
radical change before criminals or po-
litical parties will reform and amend
their own abuses. One misstep of a
party, as of an individual, is much
more likely to be followed by another
than to find correction within itself.
1t Is safest for the general welfare to
hold a party responsible for its mis-.
deeds and to punish it's derelictions by
dismissal from power. 1t sometimes
requires much courage ON the part of
individual members of a party to pur-
sue this course, but it is the only ef-
fective remedy for bad government"

WITNESSES DICE GAME FOR
MONEY IN CITY HALL SHADOW

Los ANGELES, Oct. 23.-[Ediror
Herald: This afternoon on Broadway,
within the shadow almost of the city
hall. l saw two men shaking dice at a
cigar stand. I had understood that
this form of gambling had been pro-
hibited in Los Angeles. so l stepped
up to the players and watched the
game, which could be plainly seen by
all passersby. One man said to the
cigar seller as they counted up: II
don't see how I owe you 1925" They
counted over the score paper again
ana he said: "All right, make 1t an
other game at $3.50" This seemed to
indicate to me that they were not play
ing for cigars, nor for merchandise
checks, but were simply throwing dice
for rather large sums of money. The
police will break UP a crap game in
which the street gamins or negroes
participate-whyd do they not stop these
games which are plainly gambling?
Are they under the protection of the
police in spite of the laws prohibiting
such gambling? Can you not do some
thing through your excellent paper to
bring about a cessation of these sink
holes for young mems money? Yours
for clean city, EDWIN r. BROWN.

SAN FRANCISCO MAN TELLS
WHY HE SUPPORTS BRYAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-IEditor
Herald: With the exception of eight
years the Republican party has been
in absolute control of the federal gov
ernment every day and hour since
March 4, 1851, a full half century OF
supremacy in every branch and de-
partment. If public affairs are so sad
ly out of joint as Mr.. Roosevelt has
insisted there is no escape from the
conclusion that Republican policies
have created the troubles or that at
least Republican neglect has permitted
them to spring up and mature.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been in office
seven years, succeeding Mr.. Mckinley,
who was entering on the fifth year or
his service when stricken down. Mr..
Taft, who aspires to follow Roosevelt,
with the avowed purpose of continuing
his policies" declares that "the evils
affecting the country have assumed
dangerous proportions within the last
ten years." That indicates both Nc
velts; yet he is to follow in the foot
steps of the latter; and yet again he
claims that the only hope for an i'm
provement in conditions lies in his
election.
This is not the sort of reasoning to
which any intelligent man would give
consideration. He would argue that
some other agency than that which
had produced or permitted an unsatis-
factory situation should be employed
to redeem it, and so the American
people will decide on November 3, un-
less they are fatuously blinded to their
rights and interest. This is why / am
for Bryan. VIM. III. TERRILL.

Woman Suffrage Movement
Cannot Win Here by Force

7 T is possible that the English suf-
fragettes have gained something
by mobbing the house of commons.
1t is not easy to measure with entire
justice this occurrence so far from
home, for the reason that no event can
be justly estimated without fair
knowledge of its local setting. In this
country the tactics employed by Eng
lish women. to wit, storming legisla-
tive halls by physical force, would
queer" the cause. The English wom-
an for some reason seems to be able,
in her campaign propaganda work, to
lay aside the modesty which in <his
country would be essentiol to the sue
cess of her cause. In America equal
suffrage must win If 1t wins at all, on
the strength of It's innate justice. In
England. 1t seems to have some pros
pect of success as means of protect
ing the male portion of the population
from the terrors of feminine wrath.
1t would be suicide, politically, for the
suffragists in this country to duplicate
the unwomanly scenes now SO common
in England, says the Pasadena News.
These British women are evidently
terribly in earnest and 1t is not at all
unlikely that equal suffrage may be

BANK DEPOSIT GUARANTEE
PLANK VASTLY IMPORTANT

LOS ANGELES, Oct 21.-GEditor
Herald: I see in The Herald a con-
versation between banker and de-
positor. The depositor, being a man on
a small salary, had deposited $5 each
month for perhaps ten or twelve years,
to give his child college education
when said child became of age. He
knew that would be the only way he
could ever have the amount of money
to send the child through college.
Here is the point. Without a solid
guarantee that the depositor's money
is perfectly safe, at all times nineteen
out of every twenty men will say: 'If
/ stint and save for eight or ten years
and then the bank fails it's all gone,
and my child will be no better off than
if / had used UP the money"
That thought alone keeps thousands
from saving their money in that way.
What stronger argument does any one
want in favor of bank guarantee for
the depositor?
Mr.. Voter, which of the two candi-
dates and parties do you think you
are the surest to get that guarantee
for the depositor from? Which plat
form is the most emphatic on that
point? Which candidate is the most
emphatic on the bank guarantee for
your deposits? / regard that clause as
OF vital interest to every voter,

IN STATU QUO

OJHANrP CLARK of Missouri deliv-
cred the real "keynote speech" OF
" the national campaign. Some peo-
ple may think Champ is too outspoken.
Others, however, believe he has
fortnight way of saying what is in
the minds of many people, and there
fore that he is merely trifie franker
than most of the folk of this day and
generation. His summary of the stu
alton cannot be beaten, and we cannot
conscientiously apologize for giving 1t
without modification or eXpurgation,
because Champ Clark is Champ Clark,
and if we tone him down he is not
natural.
He said: "At Chicago, President
Roosevelt, with his 50O.0 900 office holders,
the greatest and the hungriest bread
and butter brigade that ever perambu-
lated the earth, forced upon the Re-
publicans a presidential candidate they
did not want, and the convention
forced upon him candidate for vice
president whom he cid not want.
During the Russo-Japanese war, one
day there was published a telegram,
General Kuropatkin is in statu quo
The boys around the village did not
know what it meant. They thought
that perhaps Statu Quo was a new
town into which Kuropatkin had re-
treated. They went to the village
solon for information, and he did not
know either, but he did not propose
that they should find out that he did
not know He said, Boys, in statu
quo means in a hell of a fix and that

AFRAID, PERCY?

AN EXTRA spice of excitement has
a been thrown into the campaign
Ia by Waldron's challenge to Ham
mon. S. A. Waldron, Democratic cam
didate for the assembly from the Sew
enty-fifth district, has challenged his
Republican opponent, Percy Hammon'
to a joint debate at the Hill street
wigwam.
We hope Harmon will accept Mr..
Waldron's invitation to explain his leg
islative record, particularly on the
questions of compelling railroads to
furnish cars to shippers on reasonable
notice or pay fine; to enlarge the
powers of the railroad commission; to
compel railroads to maintain gates at
street crossings; to protect employees
of street and interurban railroad COM
panies; to abolish the party circle at
elections, and the change of venue. AS
to all these matters, and many more,
the public will be dee-lighted to have
Mr.. Harmon arise and explain.

CHINOPHILE TAFT

~ UGH an enthusiastic Chinophile as
Mr.. Taft would no doubt be ac-
~ ceptable to the denizens of the
flowery kingdom; and if there were
pigtail vote in California without doubt
it would be given to him. In an inter-
view published in June, 1905, Mr.. Taft
said:
rs it Just that for the purpose of ex'
cluding or preventing perhaps lO(
Chinese coolies from slipping into this
country against the law we should sub
ject an equal number of Chinese mer-
chants of high character to an exam
ination of such an inquisitorial, hu-
initiating, insulting and physically un-
comfortable character as to discourage
altogether the coming of merchants
and students? One of the great COM
mercial prizes Of the world is the trade
with the 400, 100000 Chinese. Ought we
to throw away the advantage which
we have by reason of Chinese natural
friendship for US and continue to en-
force an unjustly severe law, and thus
create in the Chinese mind a disposi-
to drive our merchants from Chinese
shores, simply because we are afraid we
may for the time lose the approval of
certain UNREASONABLE AND EX-
IRENE POPULAR LEADERS OF
CALIFORNIA and other coast states?
Does the question not answer itself?
is IT NOT THE DUTY OF MEM
BERS OF CONGRESS AND OF THE
EXECUTIVE TO DISREGARD THE
UNREASONABLE DEMANDS OF A
PART OF THE COMMUNITY DEEP
LY PREJUDICED UPON THIS SUB
JECT IN THE FAR WEST, and insist
on extending justice and courtesy to q
people from whom we are deriving and
are likely to derive such intense bene-
fit in the way of international trader
Mr.. Bryan is thoroughly posted on
the Chinese immigration question. He
has made a careful investigation of it,
and after personal study summed up
the matter as follows:
"The Chinese exclusion act has proved
an advantage to the country, and its
continuance and strict enforcement, as
we'll as it's extension to other similar
races. are imperatively necessary. The
Asiatic is so essentially different from
the American that he cannot be as
simulated with our population, and is
therefore not desirable as a permanent
citizen. His presence as temporary
laborer, preserving his national iden-
tity and maintaining foreign scale OF
wages and living, must ever prove an
Injustice to American producers as well
as a perpetual source of irritation"
Mr.. Bryan speaks from experience,
observation and study. Mr. Taft speaks
from inexperience, lack of observation
and ignorance of this question of vital
importance to California and the west.

AWAKENING

(By Joseph /. c. CTarlSe)
It were Joy to have lived, II only to know
I had walked in this dusk of the woods to
the flow
OF the streamlet that leaps down its dell to
the lea.
It's waters a-sparkle and beckoning to me:
To have walked in the forest and marveied
to hear
A bird at its matin-song gladsome and
clear:
From dawn-blue to sun-glow I've haunted
your dream
with the lure of Her love by the marge OF
the stream"
To have slept in my sorrow and Weakened
but now
With kiss as of exquisite lips on my brow
And Her call as of bells to a world that's
reborn,
And beat in my blood like the laughter
of morn:
To have wandered and toiled in the deep
forest aisles
To have counted in darkness the wearisome
miles,
To have slept for the dreams sake. and
walked with Loves word
At the lips of the stream, at the heart Of
the bird. -Smart Set.

SEES CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS
IN VOTE FOR PROHIBITION

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.-tEdttor
Herald: Judging from the number OF
votes cast throughout the United states
during the past year, and the continued
activity shown along local option lines,
1t is unquestionably true that there are
thousands in both the Republican ana
Democratic parties who are anxiously
hoping for the advent of that ideal So
cial condition when the saloon, and all
that appertains thereto, shall become
but a memory of the past.
The majority of these thousands,
however, are seemingly tied to their
respective parties and fail to see the
peculiar inconsistency OF holding 10 an
ideal and then voting to make that
ideal impossible, for are not both or
these political parties pledged to the
continuance Of the license system?
1t certainly requires no argument to
prove that saloons will exist as long
as they are licensed.
Practically and actually every vote
cast for a Republican is wiped out by
corresponding vote for Democrat,
until in the final summing up 1t is
found that it is only the majority or
plurality vote that does the trick OF
electing a candidate. Pray you, what
would happen If the thousands of good
temperance men who are uselessly wip-
ing out each others votes should sim
ultaneously grasp the problem, pair
their votes and support the nominees
of the Prohibition party? This would
be a consistent method of supporting
their ideal, without possible injury to
their respective parties, What would
happen? 1t would make liquordom
tremble, for the most dreaded calamity
that could overtake "the traffic" would
be a large prohibition vote. Let all
such lovers of civic righteousness help
to make a record vote.

HARBoR KNocKER

A LTHOUGH 1t is a fact we'll known
u to all students of commercial
- geography that the development
of San Pedro harbor and adequate rail-
way facilities which will enable ship
pers to take advantage of that develop
ment will be of immense benefit to the
middle west and the east as well as
to California, by giving shippers a
short and direct route to the Orient;
Assemblyman> Walter Leeds, now a
candidate for reelection in the Sew
entieth district, defends the proposed
state apportionment of $10,O0o,00O for
San Francisco harbor and only 1880. 900
for San Pedro.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of The Herald, Leeds expressed
the sapient opinion that "Los Angeles
has no hope of becoming anything like
the port that San Francisco will al
ways bel" Nay, more, he intimated
that the relatively meager appropria-
ton for our Southern California har-
Dor is more than enough. for he said:
"San Pedro cannot take care of $780,
900 for long time to come. San Fran
cisco will always be the great port"
This, of course, is merely railroad
talk. 1t is inspired, not by patriotism.
but by corporation interests which
from first to last have fought bitterly
the plan for q free harbor at San
Pedro and have opposed every step
taken in the direction of giving to Los
Angeles that share of mercantile sea
power which most undoubtedly be-
longs to her.
The obstructionist, Leeds, cannot be
useful in the legislature to the con-
stituents whose suffrage he seeks.
BY opposing harbor development
he opposes the welfare of the people.
It is imperatively necessary that he
should be defeated. and that Charles
]. Creller should be chosen in his stead.
Mr.. Creller is characterized by en-
ergy, ability. honesty and perseverance.
In the real estate and fire insurance
business he has been successful and
popular. Last spring he was elected city
clerk of Redondo Beach by a hand
some majority, and has made an ideal
officer. He is a Democrat of the JEFF
ferson- jackson school. He believes
honesty in everything is a first essen
tial, that public Office is public trust,
and that a man elected by the people
should represent the people, and not
a corporation.

kkTT is 725 days since the prosecu-
tion began and no one is In the
penitentiary yet" exclaims the
Examiner and inquiries the reason
why" The Examiner is itself one of
the reasons why the prosecution has
been slow and difficult. That news
paper has used its utmost ingenuity to
poison public sentiment against the
prosecution and help the grafters to
evade trial and bedevil the process Of
the courts. It's latest effort-this hypo-
critical inquiry-is designed with the
same purpose.
Quite possibly, IL the city govern
ment had been handed over bodily to
Hearst, as he demanded after the
Doodle supervisors confessed and re-
signed and Schmitz was driven from
office by the proseeution-quite pos
sibly, If Hearst's impudent attempt at
holdup had been successful the
course of his paper might have been
different. Its policy in the last year
has been merely the reflection of a
disappointed personal ambition, says
the San Francisco Call.
But the Examiner has shot its bolt.
It's purpose and it's motives are under

the Central theater and was forced 10
turn tail and run before the storm OF
popular indignation. His campaign OF
personal malice against the prosecu-
ton is appraised at its real value.
Why-let the Call ask a. question
why does the Examiner make daily
attacks on Francis j. Heney? Simply
because Heney publicly exposed the
dishonest tactics of that newspaper,
and in consequence the Examiner is
hurt In circulation and influence. These
are the motives that inspire the Ex-
aminer to poison the public mind with
the purpose to hamper the prosecution.
It is simply a campaign of petty, per-
sonal malice. growing out of Hearst's
disappointed ambitions and the loss OF
valuable circulation due to the ex-
posure of his motives and acts.
But the prosecution proceeds just the
same and the tolls are gathering
around Ruef and the higher ups" in
spite of all the help that Hearst and
the gutter weeklies can give. In the
meantime Hearst has been run out

to appear again In public here. We

CAESAR ROOSEVELT

UV HE president of the United States

gage in a partisan controversy. Roose-

fronts ever put on the American nation
"a direct attempt on the part OF the
chief executive, while still In office'

paid by Democrats, to interfere with
the free will of the people in their
choice of a president. 1t is almost
sickening to people who have been In
the habit of thinking kindly OF Roose-

stopped to pettifogging and contemptl-
BILE politics. Moreover, his right to in
terfere may well be called in question
Upon what meat hath this our would
be Caesar fed, that he hath grown so
great that he thinks he may without re-
buke use his undue influence in the
presidential election?
We believe the voters of the Amerl-
can nation, believers in fair play and
advocates of a square deal long before
Roosevelt adopted that facile phrase
will resent and rebuke the offensive
partisanship of chief magistrate
who evidently mistakes himself for
president of the Republican party and
dictator to the American nation.
With all his knowledge and expert
ence, Roosevelt does not know human

ciple, and, if he were governed by the
civil service rules, would be liable to
removal from office.
This country is still republic. we
have not one law for the federal mail

yond reasonable doubt.
