LONG BEACH ITEMS

LONG BEACH, Oct. 25.-NIrs. Jennie
l-argis of Pasadena who for six
weeks had been visiting at Long
Beach, died yesterday at the home of
her cousin RS. NJ. A. Gates, in Ocean
side Park. She was so years old. The
body was taken to Pasadena today,
for burial.
Those who have hoped insurance
rates would be lowered in Long Beach
seem doomed to disappointment. The
statement in the late circular of the
board of fire underwriters to the eff
feet that rates on dwellings in Los
Angeles county would be figured from
Book No. 3 of rates, instead of from
Book No. 4 as before, applies only to
smaller towns and to rural districts.

Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Oct. 25.-So great has
electioneering enterprise become in
South Pasadena, voters can get not
only free cigars, as in the past. but
free house rent.
The municipality desires to annex
triangular strip of land near the os-
trich farm to form an approach to the
arroyo bridge. Only one man lives on
the strip, however, and he is not quail
fed as a voter.
Accordingly, during the last week,
public spirited citizens moved small
cottage on the strip and it can now
be secured, rent free, by any qualified
voter who has the welfare of South
Pasadena at heart. None other need
apply.
A petition supposedly containing the
names of two thirds of the voters of
the municipality, asking for the an
nexation of the strip, has also been
filed with City Clerk Cox. He is now
at work verifying the signatures. and
it is hoped before much lapse of time
the election may be held and the de-
sired strip of land be annexed to the
city.

RUNAWAY HORSE DASHES
THROUGH PLATE WINDOW
Passing Auto Frightens Equine and
He Breaks Loose from Hltching
Rope-Taken to Hospital
for Animals

PASADENA, Oct. 25.-Frightened by
an electric automobile, horse belong
ing to DR.. Fordyce Grinnell, 572 North
Marengo avenue, which was tied in
front of the Presbyterian church,
broke loose this morning, ran down
Colorado street to Broadway, and then
dashed through one of the big plate
glass windows of the Lewis r. Mer-
ritt store in the Chamber of Commerce
building.
Once before the animal has been
injured by an automobile, but at that
time it was thought the machine did not
strike her. This time, however, the
horse broke a new one-inch rope,
which was passed around her neck
and then through the ring of her bit,
and dashed wildly down the street.
The animal is young and was broken
for DR.. and Mrs. Grinnell, never hav-
ing been driven by anyone else. 1t
was badly cut by the glass, and taken
to the animal hospital for treatment.

LEvERING TO PROFIT BY
INELIGIRlLITY OF LOWE

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 25.-As a
result of sensational disclosures made
yesterday touching the ineligibility of
Rev. e. E. Lowe to continue on the
Prohibition ticket as candidate for
the assembly it is more than likely the
Democratic candidate, N. L. Levering,
will receive a very heavy vote. The
ineligibility OF Lowe was brought out
by Senator H. M. Willis, a Republican.
and this has ebittered many Prohibi-
tionists against the Republican candi-
date and their votes will go to Lever
ing, who is an avowed opponent of the
LIQUOR traffic.

VOTES FOR BRYAN AND KERN

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 25.-The
campaign rally, held at the opera house
last evening under the auspices of the

INSURING BANK DEPOSITS

A man who could be caught sin
cerely by the cheap plated arguments
for free silver, as Mr.. Bryan undoubt.
eddy was, Is also the man to be taken
by the shallow arguments in favor of
a guarantee of bank deposits. This
is going to be a favorite theme of
his during the coming campaign; and
it will not stand examination any
better than the cheap money theory
did.
This plan of guaranteeing the de-
posits of national banks is something
so new that comparatively few people
can understand it. If they will read
an article on the subject in the | -
number of Scribner's magazine, writ.
ten by Prof. j. Laurence Laughlin,
than whom there is no higher author
ity in the country, the whole subject
will be made plain.
In the first place, it would not, be-
cause it could not, accomplish the
main end desired. This is said to be
cient to pay to depositors the money
they may have tied up in suspended
banks, so that they may not have to
wait the slow process of liquidation.
The answer is that it would have re.
required Sl00000,O0O last fall to do
just this thing; and no tax contem-
plates or could raise such fund
without putting an end to the banking
business.
And there is no more reason for in
surfing the risks of the banking bus
ines than any other buiness. No man
owns a dollar except at some peril.
There is the possibility of loss no
matter what he does with it, The
risk element cannot be illuminated
from life; and there is no more reason
for trying to take it out of banking
than out of merchandising.
Finally the browning objection is
that it would make the banker ire
sponsible. He is kept conservative
now by the need for such a reputation,
if his bank is to attract depositors.
Make loss impossible, and you put
premium on reckless and dishonest
banking by relieving from RESPONSE
bility and punishment. The whole
plan of guaranteeing deposits is
wrong.

PUBLICITY ASSURED.

One of the most servicable traits of
President Roosevelt is his ability to
correct a party error when one is
made. If his party made a mistake,
he did not howl his head off about it,
or split the party wide open in an at
tempt to have the action formally
reversed; he just went ahead and did
what was necessary himself. And the
party always acquiesced, while he
himself grew stronger even than the
party.
1t is clear that Mr.. Taft inherits this
valuable quality. He is not a man to
permit himself or his party to be put
may, in a minor matter, have yielded
to unwise counsels. And almost his
first act after receiving the nomina-
ton is one that will meet with the
heartiest commentator the country
over while it spikes the particular
gun which the Democrats had ex-
pected to roar most loudly during the
coming campaign. Mr.. Taft an
nounces that, by his direction, there
will be no absolute publicity of all
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures.
Nobody knows what influences pos
sessed the Republican national conven.
ton to turn down a proposition
looking to this end. 1t was one of
those mistakes that every convention
is sure to make, because its attention
is concentrated on other affairs. This
doubtless seemed to most members a
mere detail, of which the party man.
ayers should be permitted to be
judges, and the members were hostile
to any change in customs as they al
ways are. 1t was like the refusal to
change the basis of representation.
National conventions are more than
timid about innovations.
But on this particular point there is
strong public opinion. Revelations
have been made about past campaigns
that touch very closely a people made
newly sensitive to the power OF the
purse in public affairs. They do not
like the contribution OF Hartman to
a Republican in New York any better
than they do that OF a Thomas F.

DR.. Dudley A. Sargent, the director
of the Harvard gymnasium has kept
the record of the students height,
weight, etc, for the past twenty-five
years and during that time he finds
that the average weight of the under
graduate student has increased from
four to eight pounds and the average
height an inch. This increase is noted
throughout the United States. While
in England marked deterioration is
observed in size and strength, it is
gratifying to know that a more intel
ligent attention to exercise and out
door sports, more careful preparation
of foods and a more universal use of
fruits are raising the physical stand

There have been several speeches
at the National Convention of the
great political parties in the past
which will live as remarkable efforts
of oratorical power. Mr.. Garfield's
speech at the Chicago convention
which resulted in his nomination for
the presidency was magnificent ap-
peal to the dignity and power of the
people. Mr.. Bryan's fervent oratory
at Chicago in 1906, which resulted
in his nomination was perhaps in its
way never surpassed, but the most per-
feet piece of oratory of recent times
was probably that of Robert J. Inger-
soil, when he presented the name of
James G. Blaine to the Republican Ma
tOnal convention in $780, Mr.. Inger-
soil in part said: Like an armed
warrior liked plumed knight, James
G. Blaine marched down the halls of
