HearSt'.S Attack on Heney
Proves to Be a Boomerang

leave the house when ordered out,
would not Mr.. McEnerney kick him sin
the rear" even as Mr.. Heney did?
Heney has ''explained'' his connec-
ton with the Contra Costa Water COM
pany several times, so far as facts
which are self-explanatory can be ex-
nlained. Before he went into the land
frauds cases for the government, Heney
had built up lucrative practice as a
trial LAWYER, His services f the Con-
fra. Costa Water company were rem
dared in omen court in important It'll
oation extending over two years; just
as were the services of Mr.. AcEnerney
and the others. If the Examiner has
any evidence that Heney rendered I'M
proper service, or that the money was
raid to him for an improper purpose
why doesn't 1t say SO? If the Examiner
has any charges to make against MT.
Heney. why doesn't it make them?
It is a curious fact that just before
the Ruef trial the Examiner should
make a dead set against Heney WIN
stale stories WHICH in so tar as tney
reflect on Heney by innuendo, are raise.
OF course, the Examiner is not aiming
to prejudice jurors in the interests OIL
Ruef and the higherhps by OBTAINING
Heney. The peculiar timing OF lts az
tacks and of the revival of its car
toons on the prosecution Is merely
coincidence, an accident. The Exam
liner did not have in mind the Ruef
jury.
If the Examiner were inspired by de-
cent motives it would see in the size
of Heneys fee from the Contra costa
company the magnitude of the financial
sacrifice which Heney has made Tor
San Francisco. Heney has given nearly
two years of hard work to the prosecu-
ton and has not received, and will not
receive, directly or indirectly, so much
as one dollar for his services. In that
period Mr.. Heney and his partner, Mr.
Cobb, have done practically no other
work. Mr.. Heney has given up for the
city's sake an established and very
profitable practice. For thanks he re-
ceives from the Examiner and the rest
of the venal press the dirtiest sort of
contumely. Who blames him for kick
ing one of the Examiner editors?

SAYS WoRKiNGMEN SHOULD
ALL VOTE FOR GOOD ROADS

SANTA MONICA, July 27.-[Editor
Herald: In street meeting in Los
Angeles last night heard a man claim
that worl1ingmen should not vote for
good roads because they received no
benefit from them and that they in
directly paid the taxes, and 1 wish to
show that he is mistaken.
The working class as class has no
property to pay taxes on directly.
Labor or labor power is a commodity
on the market, the price of which Is
governed by the same law of supply
and demand as butter and eggs. If
the workers vote for good roads they
create a demand for labor and thereby
increase wages. The owners of prop
erty on which the taxes are paid can
not arbitrarily raise rents to make up
for the higher taxes, for rent is gov
erned by the same law of supply and
demand.
The business men are making all
the profit now that the traffic will bear.
Therefore, workingmen, vote for good
roads, and for every public improve
ment that makes work for yourselves.

SUPREMACY

ONDON TIMES says in speed and
I strength the English are far be-
- hind the Americans. Moral: Avoid
overcrowding in the United States.
Build wide in the cities, and between
cities have plenty of room. Don't
grind the faces of the poor" Be lib
eral in wages, and always employ as
many workers as your establishment
will carry" This will make it reason
ably certain that the people of this
nation will continue to be well fed. II
We don't take the working children out
of the factories and mines, and restore
them to the school and playground, we
cannot escape the consequences. Our
population will deter1orate physically,
as the population of England has been
deteriorating steadily ever since over
grown cities took the place of green
lanes and broad acres OF old England"
For her commercial supremacy, now
threatened by the United States, Eng
land has paid dearly, and II America
must pay the price that England paid
for commercial supremacy, we don't
want It! Let England have 1t, and
let our motto be that OF Henry George:
1--WE are for MEN" That will assure
us physical, mental and moral suprem-
acy among the nations of the earth.
This is the kind of supremacy talked
of in the much misconstrued, little un-
derstood New Testament, as the reign
of Righteousness" which Christians are
told to seek, with the promise that,
once secured, all other things will be
added. Let us continue to cultivate
HUMAN SUPREMACY, and CONNER
ella, supremacy will take care Of itself.

ONE of the most striking signs of
civic morality in this country Is
" seen in the insistent demand that
there shall be complete publicity as re-
CARDS all moneys received and expend-
ed for political purposes in the coming
campaign, says the San Jose Mercury.
This Is something new under the sun
in this land. True enough, the senti-
ment from which this springs has been
growing and strengthening for some
time, but this is but one phase OF
the general movement to secure pure
elections-a movement which has mace
great progress and acquired great pow
err within the last few years. The use
of corrupt methods for carrying cleo
lions had come to be so common in thls
country that they were our shame and
scandal, and at length became SO I'M
bearable that they provoked the 1ndig-
nation of all honest men. Then came a
revolt which soon reached the point OF
demanding some legislation which
should throw safeguards round the
ballot box, and, as far as possible, Sc
cure an honest vote and an honest

FOR WHOM BUT THE TRUSTS
IS THIS COUNTRY FIGHTING?

LOS ANGELES, July 26.-[Editor
Herald: Failing to note any answers
to my questions published in your issue
of the goth inst. in the Public Letter
Box l would like to ask few more
equally important.
1. In what way have we, the people.
benefited by the purchase of the Phil
ippine islands? We paid for them.
3. Are our boys there fighting for
the rights of their country or the sugar,
tobacco and coffee trusts?
8. AS it appears to me these trusts
are the only class benefited by our
possessions. If 1 am wrong will some
one SHOW me?"
4. If am right, why are our boys
made to sacrifice their lives for these
trusts? Why not let the latter fight
their own battles2

count. The object was, on the one
hand, to protect the citizen against un7
due influence, against intimidation, and
against having his purpose thwarted
by dishonest count; and on the 9TH
er, to protect the public against the
swindle of a purchaseable or otherwise
corrupt ballot. From this demand
grew our whole system of registrati on

immediate vicinity Of the polls, tho
Australian ballot, the voting machine,
and much else. Besides, laws have been
enacted requiring candidates to make
a nublic statement, certified and sworn
to, of the amount of money their cam
vass cost them. This was good so far,
but it did not go far enough. 1t was
found that the ideal of a perfectly
safeguarded ballot box had not yet
been realized. A good many recovered
paths were yet open along which cor
rupting influences could steal in unde7

people? A happy nation--a truly pros
porous one-viewed in the broad sense,
is one in which wealth is most evenly
distributed. A philosopher once prayed
to be delivered from both poverty and
great riches. There is much in this
thought, says the Sacramento Union.
Measured by this yard stick, tho
ethics of the younger Rockefeller show
false Even should a man give away
an entire fortune wrongfully acquired
he could not undo the wrong. The
chance of restoring the property to the
individuals he had wronged would be
remote. To restore to their children
the opportunities the loss of fortune
deprived them of would be impossible.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller is a noted
Sabbath school worker, presumably
well versed in scripture and the phil
osophy of Christianity, and it would
be interesting to know where in either
the scripture or philosophy he finds a
basis for the conclusion quoted.

1t is alleged California is known
