Idle Men And idle Farms

The recent great increase IN the
number al unemployed, able bodied
men, and the simultaneous cry from
the farm districts for more help, draw
sharp attention to an incongruous CON
dition. The problem OF inducing able
bodied men to remain upon or return
to the farms is one that becomes more
difficult, and vet more insistent. every
day. II must be solved, somehow, II

tinue II is little wonder that the
President and his Cabinet are forced
To consider the subject, with view To
lending federal assistance in disposing

worse charity. 10 feed the army oi

me TO be the most rational and eco

would remove the greatest obstacle
to legislation by reducing the size OF
the appropriation.
This cost is a saving OF 10 cents per

ALLEGED SPY
AROUSES THE
SLAVON|ANS
Author of Interview In IeSter-
days Review Denounced AS
a Fiend Unfit To Live In a
Land of Freedom.

The Servians of the city, almost to
a man, disagree with the alleged Ser
ivan who expressed the opinion, as
reported in yesterdays Review, to the
effect that many of the Servians had
no desire to go back to Europe and
fight for their brothers. One of the
most prominent of the Servians in the
camp thus expressed himself yester-
day evening:
''Servians and Sayonians do not
consider whoever made the statement
published in yesterdays Review eth
er a good patriot or a good citizen Of
the United States. One who has no
sympathy for people engaged in a
struggle for their rights and liberties
is not fit to live in a land of liberty,
such as the United States is.
THE Slavonians and Servians of
Bisbee do not believe that the per
son who gave out the interview was
one of their number, but that he was
some Austrian fiend. We would like
TO have that person come out with his
name, that We might know better
what to say of him.
There has been no attempt on our
part, and will be none, to force any
one to go back to Seryia. Those who
do SO will do so voluntarily. We do
believe, however, that a man who
has no sympathy with those who are
struggling for liberty would make a
poor soldier to defend the stars and
stripes. Let such a one consider the
American people, who, while they
have no interests involved, sympa-
thize with the people of Servia in
their fight for liberty.
Gas citizens who have adopted thS
! United States as their native land, we
consider that there is no higher test
of the principles that go to make a
man, in the full sense of that term,
than his generous sympathy with the
downtrodden of every land in their
efforts to better their condition"

ATTEMPT TO ROB HIM OF
HOLLY AND PINE TREES

PASADENA Dec. 21.-Set upon by
two young fellows from Los Angeles
who were plundering his property of
the holly and pine trees he had planted
as decorations, Ralph Rogers, owner of
the Park Hill property in South Pasa-
dena, only escaped serious injury be-
cause of the fact that he was armed
with a club with which he knocked one
of his assailants down.
Alarmed by the depredations of the
past week, Mr.. Rogers passed the en-
tire Sunday guarding his property. He
turned away numerous parties of men
and women who were intent on plum
dering the thickets of their treasures.
When he came on the two young men
from the city late in the afternoon he
ordered them off the land, and as they
did not go with a good grace, an alter
cation arose which ended in the at
tempted assault on the owner
These acts of vandalism have been
a source of great annoyance to the
owners of property in both South Pasa-
dena and Oak Knoll. Last year the
thefts were so numerous and out
rageous in their character that special
watchmen were hired to protect several
of the estates from the depreciation.

BASCULE BRIDGE IS

FOR TRAVEL JAN. |
Viaduct Across Long Beach Harbor
Said to Be One of the Largest
of Its Kind in the United
States
IsnecIal to The Herald.


LONG BEACH. Dec. 21.-A foreman
in charge of a part of the work on the
new steel bascule bridge across the
mouth of Long Beach harbor said this
morning the great bridge would be
ready for travel by January 1. The
tracks already are laid on the bridge
and the work of connecting this
trackage with the road on either side
of the channel is now in progress. Ma
chinery for the operation of the bridge
by electricity has been set UP and the
electricity can be turned on in short
time. The bridge will be operated by
a controller similar to the ones in use
on trolley cars The bridge will be one
of the largest, if not the largest, of its
kind in the United States. The cost
of the steel structure has been about
$3.50.
The mayor this morning appointed
Councilmen Callahan and Lane COM
mittee to confer with the Pacific Elec-
trio company on the feasibility of a
combination ferry across the harbor
in case the company contemplated
building up to the channel on either

SINGLE TAXER BR0KAW'S
SON TO BE BURIED TODAY

PASADENA, Dec. 21.-The funeral OF
little Leonard Brokaw. son of Mr. and
Mrs w. q. Brokaw of 1885 Morton av-
enue, will be held at II o'clock tomor-
row from the residence. The boy died
Saturday from a severe attack of gas
trio intestinal trouble. Two other
children, Vaughan and Innes, both
girls, were seriously i'll from the same
trouble but the latter is now out of
danger.
Mr.. Brokaw, a prominent single tax
er, has been devoting all his time of
late to the writing of a book on his
studies and the family has been, for
this reason, in reduced circumstances.
Whether the children were weakened
by their privations to a point where a
slight touch of ptomaine poisoning
proved too much for them, or whether,
as Mr.. Brokaw believes, their illness
came from eating green fruits, is a
question not yet decided.
Several attempts to relieve the fam
lily have been made by both the HUI
name society and the Salvation army,
but as the Brokaws are Vegetarians OF
the most pronounced type it was found
difficult to procure food they would
eat.
