LIVELY CAMPAIGN

m HEODORE A. BELL has returned
from an eastern campaigning tour
Il in a highly optimistic frame OF
mind. His optimism is based on facts
observed by him. For instance. he
thinks the Democratic state ticket will
undoubtedly carry New York. in which
event New York will give Mr.. Bryan
it's electoral votes. The Democrats
have popular platform and a popular
candidate. AS election day draws nigh
the prospect for Democratic success
grows brighter and brighter.
Mr.. Bell and former Mayor James d.
Phelan of San Francisco both made
speeches in Los Angeles yesterday. Mr..
Phelan in his address explained the
bank deposit guaranty plank in the
Democratic platform, and among other
statements which were convincing and
to the point made this one: HAD such
a law been in effect the footing Of the
California Safe Deposit and Trust COM
pany would not have been possible"
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-29
DEPOSITS GUARANTY

II ART of the Democratic national
platform runs as follows: 1--WE
Il pledge ourselves to legislation I'M
der which national banks shall be re-
quired to establish guaranty fund for
the prompt payment of the deposits OF
any insolvent national bank under an
equitable system which shall be avail
able to all state banking institutions
wishing to use it." On this subject the
Republican platform says nothing.
The Republicans are opposed to
guaranty of bank deposits because they
did not think of it in time. 1t was a
reform which has been discussed IA
vorably by some Republican newspa-
pers, among others our esteemed local
Republican morning contemporary, and
when it was talked of by the Times
and other Republican papers its ad-
yantages were frankly set forth and
acknowledged. One of the principal
advantages of course would be that
it would make panics and panicky runs
on banks practically impossible. A
run on the banks with guaranty in
operation would indicate not lack OF
confidence in the banks but lack of
confidence in the government of the
United States, and conditions which
would cause such distrust of the gov
eminent as to produce run on gov
ernmentally guaranteed banks should
not be seriously talked of. They are
wildly improbable.
With banking guaranty would come
great business stability and unsuitable
confidence.
Hard indeed to understand is the
Republican change OF front on this
question. The only explanation is that
Republicans are determined to oppose
all plans and projects, however WISE
however just, however beneficent, how
ever patriotic. which were originated
by Democrats and not by Republicans.
And herein is an explanation of their
rejection of the Roosevelt policies,
which were Democratic policies before
they were Roosevelt policies.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-29
PROTECTION

n EMOCRACY recognizes clearly the
rights of labor, and would substi-
- tute the protection of wages for
the protection of exorbitant profits. The
national platform says: 1.-THE expand
ing organization of industry makes it
essential that there should be no
abridg1nent OF the right of wage earn
ers and producers to organize for the
protection of wages and the improve
ment of labor conditions to the end
that such labor organizations and their
members should not be regarded as
illegal combinations in restraint of
trade"
Note the phrase, protection of
wages for it is significant. From Re
publican speakers and editors we have
heard great deal about protection to
American industries, but in actual
practice and experience this turned out
to be protection to profits. No matter
how patriotic the original intention of
protective tariff may have been it de-
generated into a mere scheme to allow
certain manufacturers and others to
make money both coming and going, to
make money through the elimination
of competition, both foreign and do
nestle, and by the reduction Of ex-
penses, which of course included a
wage scale as low as the workers would
accept. The only logical excuse for a
high tariff would be a division of
profits with employees, and even then,
no matter how gratifying the arrange
ment might be to its beneficiaries, this
to conscientious people would SAVIOR too
much Of a division of spoils rather than
of legitimate earnings When, how
ever, the tariff protected barons insist
on keeping for themselves all the spoils
and of giving the workers only meager
earnings calculated on scale that
is not as far removed from slavery
as some optimists would have US be<
lieve, then not only is there no excuse
for a maintenance of a Republican
tariff, but there is every reason for re-
fusing to permit Republicans to re-
arrange tariff schedules or revise them,
for there is a world of significance in
the Republican statement, 1.-THE tariff
should be revised by it's friends"
Who are its friends?

SUPPORT DEMOCRATS

~ GORGE c. MARTIN, Democratic
UT nominee for assemblyman from
w the Seventy-first district, says:
"Give us a free harbor, and we Will
have home products that will astonish
the question of what a harbor means
to US" With increase of transporta-
ton and freight facilities there would
be a new incentive to manufacturing
activity. No matter how ambitious and
patriotic manufacturers may be, when
they are hampered by unfair rates or
by determinations, it means that infiu-
ences are operating in restraint of
trade, a restraint which is contrary to
the spirit and constitution of the Unit
ed States and state of California.
All intelligent citizens who devote
thought to the matter, and do not vote
blindly," agree with Mr. Martin that
we never can have a free harbor as
long as railroad controlled men are
sent to the legislature. The records or
Harmon, Leeds, Transue and Stanton
should be taken into account by cltl-
zens, and we are certain after exam
lining the records those who are about
to vote for Harmon, Leeds, Transue
and stanton will take advice similar to
Punch's famous "advice to those about
to marry" which consisted of one little
word, Don't"
To vote for men whose careers are
stamped all over with the S. P. brand,
and to expect those men to represent
the public interests or work for the
people would be on par with ex-
pecting to gather grapes of thorns and
figs of thistles. Vote for the Demo-
cratic candidates. They represent the

TARIFF ROBBERY

H HE HERALD commends to the
careful reading of every voter an
Il article reproduced on this page
from a publication recently issued by
the American Academy of Political
and Social Science. This article,
entitled Tariff Making-Fact and
Theory" is by Mr.. H. E. Miles, who
announces himself as a Republican, a
manufacturer and a protectionist.
Probably no contribution made to the
literature of the tariff during the pres
ent campaign has so conclusively
shown the frightful abuses of which
congress has been guilty in enacting
our national tariff legislation.
Mr.. Miles shows as a fact, humiliat-
ing to every citizen but indisputably
true, that by the provisions OF the
Dingley tariff bill now in force the
taxing power of the United States has
been deliberately farmed out to certain
great interests.
He shows how the Steel Trust has
been enabled, by having had the tax
ing power of the government trans
ferred to it, to- give value to One Bill
lion Dollars Of stock which represented
nothing but water, and to tax the peo-
pie at the rate OF One Million Dollars
per week to give value to this stock
which represents no value outside of
the power conferred upon the Steel
Trust to levy an arbitrary tax upon
the people of the United States-a tax
which has no reference to the protec-
ton of labor whatever but is purely
and simply an exaction from the peo-
pie for the profit of monopoly.

EDUCATION ENDANGERED

NDER proposed assembly constitu-
l tional amendment No. "a the edu-
~ cational system of California
would be handed over to the tender
mercies of machine politicians, and
S. P. machine politicians at that All
educators who have inquired into the
nature and purpose of No. "a have con-
demned it, and they have also con-
demned No. 8. We think in matters
of this kind expert opinion should be
accepted.
If professional educators say a pro-
posed innovation or change in method
or rule is bad. and that it will have a
detrimental effect on the educational
interests of California, then it is well
TO accept expert testimony and to vote
down the changes and alterations en-
bodied in the amendments. The educa-
tors of the state of California have
taken considerable pains to stir up
public sentiment with regard to these
amendments, yet with such a variety
and range of subjects, objects and can
didates as will engage the attention
of the voter, there is always a danger
that carelessness or haste to complete
the task of voting will bring about the
adoption of some measures which bear
the marks of political chicanery and
were undoubtedly smuggled in among
the mass of voting material in the
hope they would escape attention and
"sneak through" TO adopt the objec-
tionable amendments will cause q world
of trouble later on, and voters should
scrutinize with the greatest care the
list of amendments submitted, and in
cases where they are not certain
as to the meaning and effect of the
language used in the construction of
the amendments, should ask the ad-
vine of their legal friends

SUNNY JIM cLoUDED

CIUNNY JIM SHERMAN is under
- cloud. The New York World has
~ Investigated his record, and has
found he is a stakeholder and director
of the New Mexico Lumber & Develop
ment company, which is charged with
having attempted to perpetrate glgan-
tic land frauds. According to the
World, Mr.. Sherman, who is a member
of the rules committee of the house
and powerful factor in the delibera-
tons of that body, entered into a COR
rupt deal to plumber public lands. 1t
is alleged that Mr.. Sherman and the
officers of the company had arranged
to secure dummies to enter up the
lands in question. Senator Spooner ad-
vised them their scheme was dangerous
and government officials might prose-
cute them on the charge of fraudulent
conspiracy. Thereupon they abandoned
their plan, and under the direction of
Congressman Sherman secured the pas
sage of a bill in the house of represent
tatives authorizing the sale to them
selves at So per acre of vast amount
OF public lands which were worth fully
IS per acre. Senator Patterson of Colo
RADIO discovered the unworthy object of
the measure and 1t was defeated.
The New York Worlds old rival, the
New York Sun, which is now a Repub-
lican paper, agrees with the World
that Sherman is an offlceholder "for
selfish purposes only" in other words
that he has been In the habit Of maxi
ing public Office an aid to private
business. The demand for Mr.. Sher-
mans retirement from his candi-
dacy for vice president is loud and
persistent, and it is obvious he is
to be used as a scapegoat. He will be
held responsible for the defeat of the
Republican ticket.
Many Republicans were thoroughly
acquainted with Sherman's record at
the time of his nomination, hut the
corrupt machine element responsible
for his preferment would have scoffed
at the idea of condemning man be-
cause he was extra smart" in several
little deals. AS The Herald has said
more than once. Sherman is an utterly
unfit person to be vice president of the
United States. His nomination by the
Republican office-holders' convention
was an insult to the American nation
and was by far the worst scandal of
the campaign.

be so. \
We are willing to agree that the

Now we'd like to have Mr.. Taft give
some good reason why the savings of
workingmen deposited in banks
shouldn't be guaranteed.
Why his injunction policy shouldn't

Why trades unionists charged with
