On Your Way to
Appendicitis =?
A POSITIVE PREVENTIVE
DESCRIBED

Those hoary old drugs, Epson salts,
aloes. calomel, mineral waters and C. c.
pills have rushed many a man to his obse-
auies. The cathartic habit enfeebles the
lining OF the bowels. predisposes to catarrh
and make. the gangrene of appendicitis a
natural development.
Stop druggng your bowels. Your bowels
despise drugs. Train your bowels to act
alone. Then you will improve mentally and
physically and be much more successful
socially.
The bowels OF even a cathartic slave can
be educated into regularity. Help them by
a ehort course Of Dilaxin.
Dilaxin acts with delightful thorough
ness. Though sontle. It Is complete
bowel cleanser. 1t is fortunate We have
this mild and inexpensive substance to fall
back on, for only by thorough cleansing
out can the intestines be invigorated into
natural regularity. Thorough cleansing
alone permits them to gather new strength.
You take Dilaxin tthe kind tableted form

eufeebled but Refrigerated. Every time

DOLLAR WORSHIP

VANGELIST ToRREY says many
III a man in Los Angeles is worship
- er enough of the almighty dollar
to hang it up in his bedroom at night
and bow down to it. We suppose the
Torrey criticism is local because of cir
cumstances. We cannot believe the
preacher intended to say the men Of
Los Angeles are dollar worshipers
above all other men. For our part, we
think in Los Angeles there is less of
the sordid spirit of gain for gains
sake than in any other city.
Sunshine and avarice are seldom found
together. Most of the misers live in
the cold countries. Russell Sage could
not have been miser in California.
His heart would have been warmed,
and generous red blood would have re-
placed the cupric acid which flowed in
his veins. At the same time it
is natural that Mr.. Torrey should have
made some strenuous remarks about
the national vice. There is plenty of
room in the United States for a popu-
lation far larger than the present pop
ulation, and yet, owing to maladmin-
istration of wealth, we all know the
phrase greatest good for the greatest
number" has become a Fourth of July
fiction. Few efforts at cooperation are
made. That one man, or two or
three men, should receive all the
profits from an industry, while
the workers are called mutinous If they
demand more than rock bottom wage,
has come to be accepted as part of the
established order, and anyone who
protests is called radical or even a
revolutionary.
In its commercial and Industrial life
America is European and feudal. There
is nothing whatever in any of our COM
mercialism to indicate a national desire
for the pursuit of happiness. An ex-
tremely sensitive and conscientious
man, one, let us say, with all rever-
ence, whose character might resemble
that of the Master of Christianity
could not possibly be happy in the
United States. Studied indifference Is
the price Of peace of mind. Even the
most benevolent and well meaning man,
when he sits down to his Thanks
giving dinner, will not dare indulge in
thoughts Of the gaunt and hungry
thousands Of his fellow human beings
in New York and Chicago, emaciated
children, starvelings of the slums and
those submerged in the depths Of
poverty, which may be found
much nearer home. If he should dare
to let his thoughts wander to the vic
tins OF our system Of civilization he
could not eat.

Justice in NeW York Shan1eS
Justice i'm San Francisco

TH course of justice in New York
and San Francisco offers an IN
Il pleasant contrast. In the east we
find two specializing bankers, Morse
and Curtis, tried without much ado,
found guilty by a jury selected with
out much trouble, and sentenced by a
court without theatrical adjuncts. In
San Francisco a thieving ''fiancier'
given what amounts to year in San
Quentin, and who does not spend much
of that time actually in the peniten-
tiary walls
The comparison of San Francisco's
punishment of ]. Dalzell Brown with
New York's administering of justice
upon Morse and Curtis, shows how far
behind New York our department OF
justice is. Here Brown deliberately
stole and threw away fifteen millions
of the money of widows and orphans
entrusted to him, and all that is done
to him by the district attorney of San
Francisco, although that official is
aided by special counsel in the prosecu-
ton, is to let him off lightly on
promise to help convict others, says the
San Francisco Globe.
There is too much of this immunity
contract business in the district attor-
neys office and there has been ever
since he took office. In this case he
permits a rascally swindler and robber
to escape with what in fact amounts

etc, have a legitimate sphere of use
fulness, but a thorough investigation
of the others, and a comparison of the
institutional method of caring for chill
dren, now almost universally in vogue,
with the home-placing idea as carried
out by few progressive states. not
ably Massachusetts. bring convic-
tipn that the large majority of the in
stitutions should be replaced by bet
ter method of solving the problem of
neglected childhood. Homes should be
found for the children whom nobody
owns" and the homes of the children
who are owned" should be protected,
in order that the boys and girls may
be enabled to attend school instead of
working for wages.
Shocking, terrible and impossible of
overstatement is the neglect of the
children of the United States, and in
spite of the success of Taft this
neglect is still chargeable to Republic
can methods and Republican policies.
Republican neglect still curses the chill
dren. To the poor young innocent suf-
ferers Taft's victory is only a proof of
public apathy with regard to the most
vital question with which the American
nation is concerned. This apathy must
be overcome. We will do what we can
sense of individual responsibility this
treacherous apathy, and we ask our
readers to help us.

THE CHILDREN

WYE do not know what Rev. DR..
w Charles Edward Locke's political
belief may be, but he talked like
an understanding American and good
Democrat when he warned his congre-
CATION that it is high time for mil
lionaires ito cease indulging in their
vanity by endowing colleges and
libraries which shall bear their names,
and invest more largely in schemes for
the amelioration of suffering women
and children" He says humanity has
fallen among thieves, and it is some
body's duty and should be by some
body considered a privilege to go to the
rescue of the poor victims.
The first of the poor victims who
must be rescued are the weaker ones,
the children. Many of them are in
misery and want. Many are at work in
the mines, mills and factories of the
east. Their lives are woven into the
fabric of cloth, are sewed into gar
ments, are part of many of the neces-
saries of life. A New York magazine,
the Delineator, had it's attention at
tracted to the child problem. The De-
lineator is not a philanthropic or hui
manitarian or even a sociological or
social-study publication. 1t is primarily
"of the earth, earthly" 1t deals prin-
cipally with the fashions. But as soon
as its editors entered into the child
rescue campaign they became impressed
bv the serious nature of the question,
Some of the facts and figures which
Los Angeles Herald has set before its
readers from time to time became
familiar to them, and many more for
they were at great pains to colle%
statistics. Now they are engaged in
campaign to arouse public sentiment
with regard to one phase-only one out
of many-of this great work, the rescue
of orphaned, neglected and abandoned
children from the institutions in which
all the initiative is drilled out Of them
and they become quaint, uncanny
eIhsh, prematurely sagacious little men
and women.
There are 1900 Institutions in the
United States, maintained partially at
the expense of the state, where friend
less children are herded and drilled
until they are legally of age.
Undoubtedly a large number Of these
schools, such as schools for detectives,
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-12

to nothing more than petty repri-
mand.
On the other side of the continent,
without the employment of special
counsel and with no more than the or
binary machinery of justice, Banker
Morse, Notwithstanding the fact that
he had made restitution in nearly every
instance, is proved to have practiced
improper methods of banking and to
have risked money that was not his
own in improper Observation-Disclosures
ments not authorized by law. His asso-
ciate, Curtis, is proved to have con-
nived at such actions. Despite a de-
termined defense, the jury sweeps aside
all considerations except the facts and
pronounces both men to be guilty. Then
then are promptly sentenced and the
next step will be when they are regis
tered at one of the penal institutions
of New York as convicts, serving their
terms.
Fifteen years for Morse and five for
Curtis in New Yorl5-men for whom no
widow or orphan suffered, and by
whom no small merchant was ruined
no clerk beggared. Not full year for
Brown in San Francisco.
The ideas of the district attorneys
office in San Francisco are radically
wrong. The people are convinced that
the public prosecutor Of this city is
dominated too much by politics and too
little by regard for the punishment of
criminals. Politics outweighs propriety
In the scales of Justice.

RULE BY MAJORITY IMPLIES
sUFFERANcE, NOT FREEDOM

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-[Editor
Herald: My reply to your "clear as
mud" correspondent, Charles W. White,
has stirred him to answer. To clarity
his thinking 1 must refer him to the
response 1 have already made to my
critic, Val Stone.
Concerning the elderly to work." l..
e., to cooperate, some freedom yet re-
mains under our present semi-Social-
istic system. Parliamentary Socialism,
operating a cooperative common
wealth, would deny even this remain
ing liberty and grant 1t only as priyi-
lege, if at ALL
Mr.. Whites conclusion that these
workers would rather starve than
choose to work in these factories" Is
another example of clear thinking.
They starve because they lack that adj
ditional freedom that would make lib
erty complete. They starve because
opportunity to produce Is denied them
denied by monopoly, based on system
of politics.
The Republican party is the embodi-
ment of the power of monopoly, is the
chief protagonist for those political
measures that father privilege. The
philosophy of Socialism proposes even
to excel the Republican party in its
diabolical plot to make monopoly SUI
preme
What matters it to me if it is the
monopoly of the minority or of the
majority ? When the liberty to CO.
poerate Is subject to rule, then liberty
is dead. Sufferance is not freedom.
Have I not already proved that both
political systems, t. e., present day Re-
publicanism and the proposed parlia-
mentary Socialism, are grounded on
compulsion? Majority rule is the basis
of both. Neither offers any assurance
of equal freedom-they do not eveH
know of it.
My criticisms Of "compulsion" in CO.
operative matters is dubbed capital
istic" by Mr.. White. But the very
foundations of capitalism, as of So
cialism, are compulsory in character.
The means of production and distrihu-
ton are in the hands of the few or of
the majority, as the case may be. The
balance must conform or starve. No
choice about it. Liberty in choice of
jobs. even If retained in the cooper
alive commonwealth, will not mean
any more than it does now.
What we need is the abolition of all
monopoly, and the inauguration OF I'M
limited opportunity within the limits
of equal freedom.

ROCKEFELLER

n OCKEFELLER is making a hard
II, fight to evade payment of the
~ famous $29,S40,000 fine. The de-
NAL of the governments petition
for a rehearing will probably send the
whole matter to the supreme court.
The principal representative of the
Standard Oil company is determined
to spend millions for defense rather
than pay the government one cent of
what he considers tribute. Should the
government find itself legally impreg-
nable 1t must proceed to collect the
fine. If Jawn D. should still prove
recalcitrant it may be the painful duty
of Uncle Sam to incarcerate him one
day for every dollar. At that rate old
Jawn will be the champion prisoner OF
the worlds history. He will have to
do time" for s1,753 years. His term
will expire and he will step forth into
the free air, purged of his fine, in A.
D. 1861. While he is in prison one
generation of keepers will succeed an
other, and old Jawn will be an ever
lasting hand-me-down. Allowing only
q small sum per annum for his support,
he will cost the government nearly
$24, OOO, 900 for board. If any extra priv
ileges should be granted him, and If
he should require physicians attention
and medicine, his maintenance may
amount to more than the fine for which
he is serving.
And how sad will be his release!
The aged and decrepit former prisoner
will totter forth on a world which will
be far older than when he was allowed
to squeeze it for oil, but brand new as
far as general appearances are con-
cerned. All the friends of his later
years of business activity will have
gone. He will not be able to trace
their graves. As he stands alone, an
old, old man in new world, he will
s1hite his breast and ask bitterly, "Ah,
Jawn D.! Jawn d. WAS IT WORTH
WHILE?"

COMPLAINS OF DEPREDATIoNs
OF SAN PEDRO PIRATES

COVINA, Nov. 10.-[Editor Herald:
In Tuesdays issue of the Los Angeles
Herald / notice a cartoon relating to
San Pedro harbor, with the caption
do We Want a New Harbor Mas
ter?" 1 emphatically answer yes! We
want new harbor master who will
root out the nest of ruftianly harbor
pirates who make life a burden to the
owners of yachts and other small craft
frequenting that harbor, and whom
the San Pedro police seem utterly I'M
able or unwilling to cope with.
Last Wednesday night they broke
into a fishing launch and stripped her
of all gear, engine fittings and stores,
including skiff, to the value of $500, and
upon the owner reporting to the police
he was told that it was "too bad" but
that they could do nothing for him
until he found out the culprits and
swore out a complaint. Poor consola-
ton for a man who had just been
robbed of his only means of making a
living for his wife and family! This is
no isolated case, but one of almost
nightly occurrence, and has been going
on unchecked for a long time, and it is
not safe to leave a yacht or launch
unmatched for one hour, day or night
in San Pedro harbor.
Perhaps a few lines in your valuable
journal might induce the chief execu-
tive of the county, the sheriff, to use
his powerful influence to break up this
piratical gang and thus lift the stigma
of lawlessness that has so long over
Swallowed the port of San Pedro.

BELIEVES SINGLE cTANDARp
OF MORALS is SOLUTION

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.-[Editor
Herald: In regard to the remarka-
BILE letter reviewing the social evil
in Monday mornings paper, I address
these remarks to the editor and the
readers of The Herald and not to thte
writer of said letter.
The very fact that the social evil is
perversion of a natural law makes
1t horrid crime, and should be pen
itentiary offense, both for the men and
the women offenders, and all persons
who rent property for such purposes.
The impulse for the preservation of
the race should be prompted only by
love-that was the intention of the
Creator, and the preVersion of some
thing that is sacred is a Grim, of the
greatest magnitude.
1t is folly to say that this evil can
not be stamped out, for the right kind
of efforts have never been put forth
against it. The men in control have
always made only a bluff at enforcing
the laws against it. With the officials
and the police doing their duty, it
could easily be stamped out The
causes of this evil ore the subsection
of women, dependence of women upon
the other sex for living to GER
tain extent, the monopoly of power by
men resulting in their establishing the
doctrine that the male sex had a right
to do just as they pleased, regardless
of the moral law.
Teach the single standard of morals
to your boys and girls and in time the
social evil will be thing of lie
past. 1t is time to begin with the
youth of the land, and teach the boys
responsibility as to moral questions
and that it is more manly to be mas
ters of themselves than to be coward

SAYS WRITERS SEEM TO BE
INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1O.--[Editor
Herald; 1t seems these anarchists
such as c. V. Cook and C. 7. Spreading
have about as much faculty for assim-
Hating Socialist philosophy as a ducks
back has for water. 1t seems impossi-
BILE for them to see the state in any
other light than they see it today
/ fail to see where the ownership of
the postoffice or public school does
away with anyone's individuality. All
the evils attached to these institutions
are traceable to private ownership of
other things which should be publicly
owned. Socialists do not regard the
state or municipality as a business en-
terprise, but as an organization of hui
man beings for the promotion of COM
mon human interests. At the same
time, they seek to transform private
capitalist property into social property,
and to establish public control over
the great process Of production; they
stand unalterably opposed to limita-
tions of individualism,( which are so
characteristic of capitalism and the
capitalist state.
The Socialist state, when it comes,
will be the very antithesis of the eX-
listing state in this respect. A. c. D.
