The Railway Rate Advance
New York Times.)

Much ridicule is bestowed upon
the policy of advancing railway rates
at a time of business depression. 1t
would be absurd were not an adj
vance justifiable upon the merits, and
were it not according to precedent
to advance rates at time like this
by way of remedying the harm done
by bad legislation.
That the advance is justified on
the merits is shown by the fact that
railway rates are disportinately low,
owing to the fact that they were not
advanced with other services for
which a price is taken. Through
out all this anti-railway campaign
nothing has been more remarkable
than the neglect of the fact that rail-

The Albany Herald, a Smith pa
per, we believe, calls attention to
the fact that the Atlanta Journal
is at its old tricks of garbling edi-
torials from other papers," cutting
out sentences and rearranging them
to suit the Journals purposes. A
contemplate procedure which is not
surprising. The Journal is simply
desperate and desperate papers, like
desperate men, sometimes do things
that are despicable. The Herald says
1T has lost all respect and conf
dence in the Journal and the Consti-
tuition for such practices"

SPRECKELS FEARS A REV

II UDoLPH SPRECKELS has an
II. nounced his intention to wage re-
~ lentless war on graft and cor
ruption in the principal cities of the
United States, among them New York.
Philadelphia, Denver and LOS ANGIE
LES. He has b1acklisted Los Angeles
because, he says, 1.-THE voters of Sar
Francisco, reputed to be the most cor
rupt city in California, made a far
better fight against the DIRTY
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MACHINE
than did Los Angeles"
1--WE must STOP the use of vast cap
ital for criminal purposes" added Mr..
Spreckels. 81 know that if we are
going to drift much longer without
an effort to alter our conditions the
present discomfort will lead to REVO-
LUTON. 1t is CERTAIN. History
teaches it."
Alas! Mr.. Spreckels is right, as every
student knows, and that is why MEM
bers of the student class in the United
States havo made up their minds to
support the Democratic party, and
give the nation an opportunity of re-
adjusting conditions and of endeavor-
ing to put into force again the first
principles of Americanism. Readers
of The Herald are familiar with Mr..
Spreckels point of view. 1t is the
point of view from which The Herald,
from conviction, has been discussing
every recent national event of import
ance. AS we have said in these col
umns, before Mr.. Spreckels expressed
the fear of an impending revolution.
"A vote for the Republican party at
the coming election is a vote for So
cialism." Mr.. Bryan MUST be elected.
The safety of the nation depends on
his election.

HARBoR DAY

." ARBOR DAY is certain to be a
success, and it is most devoutly
- to be wished that Los Angeles,
San Pedro and Southern California
may reap all the rewards of its success.
We hope all the agents and agencies
of publicity will do their best to send
complete accounts of the days doings
to every part of the United States and
of the civilized world. In the dull
gray dawn of the morning after we
want all the world and his wife to
awaken and realize that San Pedro
is on the map, to know exactly where
it is, and to appreciate what San Pedro
harbor means to the Pacific coast and
the United States. Here is the gate
way of the Orient. At San Pedro
harbor will be the great headquarters
of interoceanic traffic in the days of
the Panama canal. But even before
the completion of the canal the harbor
will entertain and handle the COM
merce of two oceans, and in course OF
time, owing to its advantages of geo
graphical situation, without doubt will
be the great Oriental and Australasian
port of the United States, even as New
York is the great European port To
a considerable extent it will even be a
port of European commerce, for Euro
pean ships bound for the Orient, Aus
traIia and New Zealand will make 1t
a port of call. We believe that in the
future the globe will be girdled COM
mercially by an all-water route, via
the Panama and Suez canals. Who
can set limit to the future import
ance of San Pedro and Los Angeles?
In view of developments that may be
expected upon the completion of San
Pedro harbor plans, confidence in this
fairest part of Uncle Sans domain
should be not merely mistaken, but
unshakable.

nance of these highways disbursed. It
Is a serious question whether without
the guaranty for the proper expend-
iture Of the proceeds of the bonds fur-
nished by the advisory committee pro-
vided for by the board of supervisors
the bonds could carry, and in the minds
of many citizens it is a serious ques-
tion whether they ought to carry.
However, the fact that there now
exists double guaranty as to the
proper expenditure of the funds to be
realized by the sale of the bonds; first,
the authority over this expenditure
which the law gives to the highway
commission, and, second, the authority
which the board of supervisors has con-
ferred upon the advisory committee,
should be ample assurance that all
funds for the creation of the system OF
highways recommended by the COM
mission which the public may supply
viii be honestly and economically ex-
pended.
The Herald does not hesitate to an
nounce itself fully in favor of the bond
issue and of the carrying out of the
plan submitted by the highway COM
mission, and we hope before the cleo
tio,s to endeavor to show our readers
many good reasons why the bonds
should carry.
