CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
NOT TRUE

A STATEMENT in the morning Re-
II publican daily paper is either a
perversion of the facts or based on
misinformation. 1t is not true that "an
attempt was made to capture the cau-
Gus in the Seventy-fifth assembly dis
trict"; that Eddie Morris proved too
willy politician to be trapped" and
that ''in place of attempting to name
his ticket in the face of the opposition
he managed to secure an adjourn
ment," etc. He was coolly and deliber-
ately authorized to name the delega-
ton. The vote was 81 to 9. His gang
made up the 81 and he fixed up a
ticket, not in face of the opposition,
but in spite of fair play. He commit
ted one of the tricks which make good
citizens doubt the wisdom of the un-
revised and unreformed continuance of
a system which seems to defeat the
end for which it was established-a
system which prevents fair nominal
tions when the boss and the gang and
the big interests they represent enter
into something which distinctly rep
resents a conspiracy to make of a pri-
mary a prime farce.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-05
GOOD AS ANY

:" E must express dissent from the
w contemporary Republican news
" paper which says: This is not
good year to slaughter the Republi-
can party or cut it in two" On the
contrary, this year is the very year in
which good influences must eliminate
bad influences from the Republican
party, otherwise the nation will
slaughter the Republican party. In
Decd 1t is not improbable that a first
rate Democratic candidate for presi-
dent will defeat anyone whom the Re-
publicans may select. Like all good
Americans, we hope the Republicans
will choose the best men, and as far as
the presidential election is concerned
we believe Mr.. Taft will be the candi-
date. AS soon as Mr.. Taft is safely
nominated we will ask citizens to con-
slider whether poverty, child robbery
and all manner of craft and graft are
reconcilable with Republican claims of
prosperity.
This mythical prosperity is the Mrs
Arris of the Republican Sairey Camp
and the public may be pardoned for be-
lieving that as far as the Republican
party is concerned there amt no sich
person" as Mrs. Arris. Such prosperity
as this nation has enjoyed has been due
to good harvests of crops Of all kinds.
The earth has yielded her increase con-
tinuously, even although many citizens
of the United States have suffered from
hunger and others have died of it. An
old friend and schoolmate of President
Mckinley, an army veteran from Mas
sillon, O., died of starvation in mis- little
tent on the hills near Monrovia. We do
not know why he was not in the Sol
diers' home. We do know he tried to
sustain life on raw mushrooms, and
that owing to the fact the man who
fain would have helped him was him
self suffering from Republican starva-
ton the veteran was left to his own
resources, and died. Scientists will
please note that he demonstrated it was
impossible for an emaciated sick man
to live on raw mushrooms.
We are not talking for talks sake
when we say actual cases of real star
walton have been numerous during the
reign of Republican prosperity" When
money was being made by the big in

THE TIMES AND NEWS"

Ty HE HERALD has a morning contem-
porary whose lucubrations are per-
Il. formed at the corner of First and
Broadway, and whose ideas of making
a newspaper appear to be that the journal
IMPOSING THE MOST PRINTED MATTER
UPON THE PATIENCE AND TIME OF ITS
READERS Is THE BEST NEWSPAPER.
This contemporary yesterday morning
took The Herald to task upon its claim
that it is the best newspaper published In
the city of Los Angeles because 1t publishes
day by day items of real news,
couched in a clearer and more concise and
accessible form, than any other paper pub
lished in the city.
Our critic insists that The Herald is
guilty of the shortcoming "thnt 1t does not
publish the complete service of the AssO-
ciated Press" and It further boasts Of the
amount of special telegraphic service with
which it favors its readers in the follow
ing language: 'The Times may take occa-
sion to remark that it prints habitually
double the amount of telegraphic news
printed by The Herald. From Southern
California and from the world at large the
Times published for the week ending Sunday
142 columns of telegraphic news. Associated
lished sixty-eight columns
with reference to the first specification,
the Herald claims that 1t does publish all of
the Associated Press news, unless by chance
some item should escape in the makeup of
the paper, which is of course q mere possi-
bility and probably has never occurred. 1t
does, however, claim to print its news in u
concise form most attractive to busy men,
and where an Associated Press dispatch
devotes more words to the relation OF an
occurrence than The Herald feels the inn
portance of the occurrence warrants, The
Herald sometimes shOrtens the dispatch by
condensiDg it, but always leaves its full
sense and import.
In relation to the Times boast as to its
special news service, The Herald desires to
PROFOUND to its modest contemporary one
question: "Are all of the items that you
print under the caption by direct wire to
the Times actually received in the Times
office by wire?" Kindly answer this ques-
tion by yes no. We pause for a reply.

JAPANESE SOLDIERS ARE
NOT ENDOWED WITH ANY
UNNATURAL BRAVERY

Japan is making the utmost endeavor
TO get into a position where IL will not
nave to depend on other nations for
the raw material necessary for ship
building and armament, but the gov
ernment steel foundry has thus far
been a practical failure and the jap
anese shipbuilders must continue to
depend on foreign countries for steel.
the average wages paid in the Japan
ese navy yards where warships are
constructed is 29 cents a day This saw
ing in the price of labor is partly neu-
tralized by the fact that 1t requires
two Japanese workmen to accomplish
the same work done by one European
or American craftsman. But at the
same time. IL Japan could get the steel
at the same price paid by European
countries 1t could build ships 20 per
cent cheaper than they can be built
in Europe. The difference between the
cost In Japan and the United States
would be even greater, as the Ameri-
cans must pay much more for labor
and much more for steel than any
other nation.
If Japan had the money It could. ana
undoubtedly would, equip an army and
navy great enough to try conclusions
with almost any nation. But 1t has
neither the money nor sufficient credit
to borrow 1t. 1t has the foundation of
a great army in its magnificent fight
ing men, but the army itself does not
exist in the magnitude which The
alarmists claim for II. Japan also has
a creditable navy, ranking fifth among
the nations of the world, and 1t has
proved that its navy can do things.
But its entire navy, patched up boats
and all. is not half the equal i'm
strength of the American SQUADRON
now in the Pacific. Here again Jan
anese poverty comes in--its navy has
not the money to spend in target prac-
tlce. Only the British and American
navies spend great sums for target
practice. which approaches the condi-
tons of actual war; This costs the
United States nearly million dollars
a year for powder. We know that the
american naval gunner can shoot and
hit the mark. The Japanese navy
must do these things by theory.
Full credit must be given to the
Japanese as fighting men. But this
does not mean that the rest of the
world must look upon them as super
natural beings, absolutely fearless and
mysteriously equipped with a power
against which the force of men and
arms does not avail. Heretofore they
nave encountered foes who were NOT
their match in equipment and whose
hearts We're not in their fight. If in
the course of time they meet fighters
who are equally as well prepared. and
who are backed by the proper national
spirit, their measure Will be taken more
accurately and much of the glamor
that surrounds their reputation will he
dissipated.
