Britt states he looks at the wagering ques- tion from a purely business point of view and wants to lay Nelson's money accordingly. Should Cans easily de- feat Unholz. Britt figures that Cans would he favorite over Nelson and he would want odds. On the other hand. should Unholz win and Nelson was favorite. Selig could have the benefit of the odds.

TO HIS POINT ABOUT
sPENcER'S ONE sHoRTcoMiNo

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-[Editor
Herald: 1t is with Mr.. Sprading as
with Economist-he begs his question
by assuming quite enormously, of
course,) that the government or the
state under Socialism would be, as
now, just little clique of privileged
persons. If the state today should still
have impudence enough left to say: II,
the state, am the people," It. would
certainly be lie, an absurdly palpa-
BILE one; under Socialist system it
would be the truth; and 1t is this fact
which knocks the bottom out of your
two correspondents position.
Now, as to Herbert Spencer, I have
not his works at hand nor have time
just now to visit the library for ref
erence; but If Mr.. Sprading is as well
versed in Spencer as his tone would
suggest, he will know where 1t
is in his sociological essays that Spen-
GER details at great length his In
stances of natures persistent tendency
from the simple to the complex and
proceeds to apply that fact as an ar
gument against Socialism, making no
allowance Tin his conclusions) for the
difference between wood and iron and
sentient nerves." That he somewhere
lsewhere-alludes to this vast differ
ence" makes It the more extraordinary.
but in nowise changes the fact that
he thus ignores the logic of this factor
in his finding.
Finally, 1 did not say that Spencer
was not a Socialist; did suggest that
for reasons stated he was negligible
one. My exact words and 1 repeat
them, were that he was not IAN au-
thority on sociology" So great was he
in other fields of philosophy that anti
Socialists find his name to conjure
with. From a lesser man such social
ogical judgment as Spencer's would
excite little attention. ID. j. M.

WHY SHOULD sALvATIoNIsTs
BE OUT ON LIGHTER BAiL7

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-rEditor
Herald: Why is 1t that the Salvation
lists are given freedom on depositing
$25 bail while $500 was demanded of the
Socialists, and this although the for
mer openly expressed their intention of
breaking the ordinance right along?
The militant anarchist urges the peo-
pie to break what he considers the un-
natural laws that keep men from ac-
cess to the soil; that give some special
privileges at the expense of others.
The Salvationist declares that he will
break a law that will not give him the
special privilege of preaching his creed
even though 1t block traffic and cause
unspeakable annoyance. Which is the
worse?
In parallel column Of your paper
read an interview with Senator Nc
Lauren in which, arraigning the Re-
publicans, he says: 1.-THE constituent
cies that they represent do not hesi-
tate to take Mr.. Carnegie's trust-pro-
duced and tariff-protected money for
their churches or to accept Mr.. Rocke-
feller's large donations"
Does not that sentence apply exactly
to the Salvation Army-that petty dis
penser of sops to the robbed masses and
of religious hysteria to keep them in
sane?
Is this the reason for the privileges
that are shown them7

WHO is RUNNING?

n UR Republican contemporary may
we'll ask "Who Is Running for
" President?" If we were to judge
the matter by appearances, We would
say that Mr.. Roosevelt had repented
OF his decision not to accept nomi-
nation and had taken 1t over from his
proxy, Taft. Although at first we
were told it was to be Taft's campaign
and that he was to make his fight
squarely and fairly. without the use
of undue influence, now there are in
dications that the president of the
United States will make partisan
speeches in support of the candidate
OF the Republican party.
Much in Mr.. Roosevelt's career has
been admirable. Much has illustrated
Democratic rather than Republican
principles. In much he has done he
has shown a marked personal superior
ity to many of the men who compose
the majority of his party. But, un-
less he should be guilty of the un-
precedented and unthinkable absurd
! ity of resigning from the presidency
in order that he may engage in the
campaign, his official dignity as well
as his duty to the American people
Will prevent him from making this
nation ridiculous and exposing it to
the contempt of the civilized world
| by turning his back on duties to the
faithful performance of which he is
pledged by solemn oath, and taking
the stump"
Besides, such extraordinarily un-
patriotic conduct on tie part Of the
chief executive Of tits great country
would not help the candidate of the
Republican party. 1t would be a con-
fession of the hopeless weakness Of
Taft, and his unfitness for the high
Office for which he was nominated by
the trusts convention on a platform
which is such a dismal horror of mis-
cradle ineflciency that already it has
been conveniently forgotten by Re-
publican speakers.

PPARENTLY convinced that the
N people can be fooled by DID,
IA threadbare tactics. Republican
corporations are posting in their in
dustrial establishments cards promis-
ing to resume full time If there is
Republican victory. WHY ARE THEY
NOT RUNNING FULL TIME NOW?
Republicans will not find it easy to
win votes by promises of abundant
prosperity. On the contrary, they are
finding much difficulty in explaining
why the people are poor while the
trusts are rich. There is enough
wealth in the United States to give
$1,000 TO every family in the country.
Some great economic law, therefore,

THE Lure OF RoYHoop SCENES

Farewell to the marts of commerce.
Adieu 10 the fight for fame;
For I've gathered myself fortune
And builded myself name.
I'm tired Of the city's torments,
Its clatter, and rush, and blare;
Days blurred and murky and gloomy,
Nights that are only glare;
Weary Of gray walls. sentinel-like,
That stand like waiting foe
To shut you in with the dust and din
And CRIME of the street below.
So here's to the scenes OF boyhood,
Upland and meadow and dale.
Each with its harvest OF memories
Sweet as a nursery tale.
For I want to see the sun rise,
And want to see II set;
And to get away
Where the light Of day
Has the old-time splendor yet;
Where the green hills kiss the heavens
And the woods are full Of song,
And the meadows Groom
To the summer moon
In an ecstasy all night longl

/ T THE Sixth Annual Irrigation
II congress, held at Albuquerque, N.
NJ, there are present, at the In
vitation of our state department. dele
gates from South Afri,a, six European
countries, Canada, Mexico and most OF
the Central and South American states.
And the congress meets. not in some
large seaboard city easy OF access to
all who attend, but in a small city in
the midst u q section where irrigation
is essential to agriculture, and where
there will be some difficulty In proper
ly caring for so large an assemblage,
all of which shows the practical char
acter which these meetings have as
surned. The delegates are there to
learn not only from addresses and dis
cussion. but :,om actual inspection Of
working irrigation methods.
Until recently knowledge Of irrigation
practice was thought to be of value
only to arid countries, or at most to
those of arid summers. Now 1t Is
recognized that 1t Is of interest to nine
tenths of the inhabitants of the earth.
A decade ago 1t was not at all un-
usual to see in advertisements of land
In our own Sacramento valley the
words mo irrigation necessary" Now
the important feature of such ad-
vertisements Is irrigation water abun-
dant and cheap" And that Is indica-
