DIFFER AS TO ELECTRICITY.
Experts Disagree Concerning Its Ef-
fects on Human Beings.

Dr. Mcconnell recently told the
mothers of New York that men and
women were nothing else but electri-
cal machines, which Tor who) when
out of order could be put together
again like ordinary electrical appa-
ratus The idea is bright, and the
great Fourier, in his Theory of Elec-
irons suggests something of the
same kind. DR. Milener of Buffalo
would, however. appear to disagree
with the idea. He placed under OBJ
servation 10 of the employees in the
Niagara Electric works, and drew the
following conclusions from his obser-
vations:
When the men were brought into
close proximity with the electrical dy-
namos they experienced organic dis
orders of the stomach, loss of appe-
tite, faulty digestion and became as
pale as limekiln laborers The doctor
attributes these phenomena TO the
chemical influence of the electrical ra-
diations, or of radiations of a nature
as vet unknown.
The late Sir Henry Thomson, the
London surgeon, was of opinion that
an abuse of electricity in the home led
to badness, bad eyesight wrinkled
skin and rarely failed to disturb the
normal circulation of the blood.

LIBEL REFUTED

NT E believe in giving credit and
wv honor whenever and wherever
credit and honor are due, and
the leading Republican morning daily
paper of Los Angeles and California
deserves credit and honor for the space
devoted in it's news columns to explicit
and detailed and circumstantial and
convincing denials and refutations OF
the ridiculous tale about Bryan being
paid to support Parker" We also
congratulate our esteemed contempo-
rary on it's political acumen, which is
shown by its appreciation of the fact
that to countenance or indorse at this
time the villainous attack on Bryan
by Wall street and Wall streets organ,
the New York World would make
Democratic votes. Republicans who
take up a prevaricating hue and cry
against Bryan because they think MS
accuser is a Democratic paper will find
themselves stultified. Wall street DOM
mates New York and New York seeks
to influence or dominate the country
through the renegade and hypocritical
World and other Wall street organs.
1t is a game" Let us hope all our
readers will see every move in it, for
the end is not yet. 1t is evident to
those who have for years studied ma
tional politics that the Wall street IN

TAFT'S BURCHARDS

II IKE Chauncey NJ. Depew, Secre-
1 tary Taft is q chronic speech
~ maker. 1t is easy to trall MIN
from the beginning of his career even
unto the present day by addresses he
has made and it would be singularly
easy to prove he is one of the gentle
men who are adept in the art OF say
ing things that would better be LETT un-
said. His errors are not bulls OF the
kind called Irish. They are not anus
ing. They are not trivial. They are
"Burchards." His expression God
knows" is famous 1t was his best
answer to the question of an earnest
workingman who was anxious to find
out what should become of his wife
and family if he could get no work
and had no reserve capital. 1t was
not the answer a man who had been
a student of economic problems would
have made. Again Mr.. Taft proved his
maladroit gift of saying what should
be left unsaid by his unhappy refer
ence to General Grant in his Memo
rial day speech.
Even If what he said about the
early days and youthful habits of the
hero of Appomattox had been nothing
but the truth, it is the part of dis
cretion as we'll as of good taste and
courtesy to leave certain things un-
said. To say them is not the mark of
superior intellect. Anybody could say
them. The sign of superiority is to
leave them unsaid. But Taft's state
ment about General Grant has been
denied. which puts Taft in a worse
light and worse plight than ever.
In an address delivered in Cuba Gov
ernor Taft said 1--WE have too much
commercial spirit in the United
States" Perhaps we have. but was
the remark discreet when made by a
man who must depend for his election
on the men and interests representing
the spirit of which he says there is
too much in the United States, but of
which there cannot be too much for
the taIl.ative Taft if he is to have the
ghost of show of being elected presi-
dent?

CORSETS

A Il THE CONGRESS of the Ameri-
n can Medical association a physi-
~ clan named Gallant made a de-
fense of the corset. AS every other
newspaper in the country is saying
it was a gallant defense, we might
as well fall in line; so please con-
slider it said. According to this doc
tor the corset is a valuable instru-
ment in maintaining an already good
figure. DR.. Gallant goes further than
mere surface advocacy of the cor
set. He says he believes thoroughly in
the use of pads under corsets, and as
serts they are a means of adding to
the attractiveness of woman. The pads
may be half an inch thick or even
thicker. Now that corsets and pads
have been vindicated, we will sit by
with bated breath and behold our sis
ters and our cousins and our aunts and
our sweethearts and our mothers and
our wives (not that personally we have
more than one) rushing wildly to the
joyous corset dealer to buy human
form divine

RUSSIA IN PERSIA

DISPATCHES from Persia say that
when the shah left his turbulent
court he was guarded by armed
Cossacks. This means that Russian
troops are in attendance on him. Rus
sia's grip upon Persia is strong. BY the
annexation of this country some of
Russias greatest problems might be
solved. But neither the japanese nor
the British have any desire to see Rus
STA in actual possession of Persia. The
news that armed Cossacks are in the
empire of the Arabian. Nights Enter
tainments may cause some brisk mod
ern entertainment of the kind to which
our barbaric and sanguinary civiliza-
tion has become so we'll accustomed
that mankind would believe something

TARIFF REFORM

A BOUT the middle of July will be
N begun the work which will either
- yield a measure of tariff re-
form, which as an issue has been forced
upon the Republicans. or will furnish
another example Of how the Republi-
cans groan and roar over small, in

hope of tariff reform when the ire

formable Republicans. If we remember
our school reading Alright, "mus ridic-

They won't carry out such plans. There

and figures that have been reviewed
about a thousand times will be re-
viewed again. OF course the facts
won't be exactly the same, because
circumstances alter cases. But there
will be the same old dreary hum-drum
ufactured goods and disputes as to the
stage of its existence at which an
article becomes dutiable, and the dis

CLUBS AND "cLUBS"

VTT e believe the leading clubs of this
w city will show their good citizen
ship by upholding the hands OF
officials who are seeking to make the
law respected and obeyed. and are
taking measures to suppress drinking
resorts which disguised as clubs
have evaded regulations governing the
liquor traffic.
Members of the principal clubs realize
they owe it to themselves and to this
community in which they have a stake
and of which they are part to aid Of
ficials in suppressing growing evil and
an undoubted nuisance. Few people
are aware of the extent and the mis-
chief making power Of the liquor traffic
masouerading under "club" names in
Los Angeles. An amazingly large num-
ber of spurious clubs" would become
even larger If measures were not taken
to interfere with this pernicious activ-
ity. A great many associations which
have taken advantage of the club idea
are irregular organizations-if indeed
strictly speaking they are organizations
which have come into existence for
the purpose of evading the law and of
furnishing for members and friends
of members" irregular, unlicensed and
irresponsible drinking places.
Against these conspiracies for the
promotion of intemperance Mr.. Wool
wines timely action is directed, and
we know that when this is understood
our club friends as usual will be found
on the right side, which is the side of
good citizenship and moral reform; of
"a clean city for clean men,"
The difficulties which to some extent
embarrass Mr. Woolwine in the con-
scientious discharge of his duties will
disappear when the clubs throw the
weight of their great moral and finan-
cial influence against the license
dodgers and law breakers, and in favor
of the conscientious official who is en-
deavoring to do his duty by compelling
obedience to law. We do not think
any member of a reputable club will
find any just or reasonable cause for
offense in the Woolwine crusade against
fake drinking clubs which are nothing
more nor less than swilling societies
On the contrary, every genuine club
member who is proud of the club idea
and of the honor of club life and is 8
"clubable man" will rejoice official
action is being taken to call a halt on
practices which tend to belittle clubs
and clubdom, and for the sake OF
genuine clubs, in the prosperity and
progress of which The Herald is keenly
interested and which it is always will
ing to help by every means in its
power, it is most devoutly to be wished
and hoped that the spurious clubs will
be driven out of their illegitimate busi-
ness. For honors sake, every clubman
is interested in Mr.. Woolwine's effort
to suppress secret societies maintained
for the purpose of unrestrained, un-
licensed drinking and lawless gambling.

reach an oasis of information is to cOndeDse
accounts of events. BY reading The Herald
