<ETI HE public must lose its atti-
tude of suspicion toward the
Il railroads" says Hartman. So
it will; but not until the railroads lose
their attitude of suspicion toward the
public. When the railroads trust the
people enough to let the peoples rep
make the peoples laws,
while the railroads eonfine themselves
to obeying those laws, thty will find
the laws neither unjust nor oppressive.
The people will deal fairly by the rail-
roads, and they will harbor no "suspi-
cion" save what the railroads them
selves launch, says the Fresno Repub-
lican.
But the people do now suspect
and what? They suspect" that the
railroads have not dealt fairly, as be-
tween shippers and communities, in
the matter of special rates and rebates
and the suspicion is true. They
Suspect" that the railroads deal fairly

HOLDS MISUNDERSTANDING
FIRST PROCESS NECESSARY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.-LEditor
Herald: Good heavens, what chaos
of thought that is trying to get itself
a-borning, and what a need for such
an instructor as the Letter Box may
prove to those who will really study 1t!
The Socialists, having won their
fight against special privileges IN the
matter of street speaking, all the re-
ligious bodies are up in arms. Their
work saves men; they are great cnarl-
table institutions.
Frankly the Socialists, individualists
and an increasing number of radical
thinkers say that the churcheS,
preaching wornout creeds and teaching
men submission, are an intolerable
nuisance. and that charity is the most
degrading of modern devices for cover
ing up the diseases of society.
Women clamor for the vote and are
dying to use it to rule others and die
tate how they shall manage their lives.
Along with them comes all the vast
army of Prohibitionists and believers
in blue laws. These people have no
other idea than that they have a
Fright" to rule others, If they can get
the mower, When individualists, like
myself. say that they have no such
right and that the greatest mistake
in the world is in trying to run others
they are silent. but go ON just the
same.
Radicals will tell you that they abhor
the idea of charity, but mistakenly peg
this. that and the other party in power
to mass measures to help them. They
beg charitable assistance from those
in power.
Side by side with this are numerous
letters from those who are convinced
that, if we could only own and man
age everything collectively, all would
be we'll. But how people that mas
hardly one idea in common, one single
idea as to the basic facts of life Is
to run things in common no one takes
the trouble to inquire.

order for many long day. Long live

THE sNoRERS


WI HO CAN awaken the members
w of the board of state railroad
commissioners to a sense OF
their duty? Who can persuade them
they owe a duty to the public? Who
can make it clear to them they must
show their sense of responsibility or
resign from an official existence which
is merely a formal farce? An inquiry
is demanded by the public into the
charges of violations of the law
brought against railroad corporations.
So clear and definite are the accusa-
lions against the principal culprit that
the case, so to speak, could go to trial
at any time. THERE'S no necessity Tor
adjournment. But If policy of pro-
crastination should be persisted in the
culprit In due course of time would
be beyond reach of punishment and
could laugh at the public. Surely the
state railroad commissioners do not
wish to lay themselves open to the
charge they are playing the railroads
game.
Yet what is to be thought of their
continued inactivity? OF their appar-
emily obstinate and dett mined mac
ton? What would be thought of a
prosecuting attorney who refused to
bring defendant to trial on even one
count of an indictment, although the
indictment contained hundreds of
counts on which conviction might be
secured? That prosecuting attorney
would soon become not a public Of
ficer of the law, but a public suspect.
And we know and you know what peo-
pie would say about him. They would
saw: "Aha! HE HAS BEEN FIXED"

AN APPRECIATION

In the following letter a minister ex-
presses his appreciation of The Herald.

of The Herald; Although i am a Re

American citizen because he doesn't hap

minded, enterprising, progressive news
paper Of the Democratic stripe when

relish every morning, even to the extent
of interposing 1t between my good wife's
face and mine at the breakfast table, to
her unbounded scorn and impatience.
like The Herald because IL Is not too
voluminous, because 1t hits out from the
shoulder against such deviitries as pub

graft hunting officials, whether foul

that pass. His morals are Clean. So

And now it appears that tn" 100000
supposed to have been received by the
Democratic national committee from
it's predecessor and which Mr.. Hearst
and his Independence league organs
asserted was contributed by the inter-
ests, was not received at all. But we
desire to call attention to the fact
that nobody. not even Mr.. Hearst and
his Los Angeles Independence league
organ, has arisen to deny that Mr..
Hearst received the money which the
New York World charged that Mr..
Hartman had contributed to the sup
port of his newspapers!

What the Public Suspects
with Regard to Railroads

and that relaxation of legal vigilance
would bring back the old practice
and the suspicion is true. They ''sus-
pect" that the railroads are at this
moment issuing interstate transporta-
ton which is forbidden by the inter-
state commerce law-and the suspicion
is true. They suspect that the rail-
roads are maintaining political bu-
reaus, not to present their rights be-
fore the peoples legislatures, commits
sions and courts, but to pack those
tribunals in advance to their own favor
and the suspicion is true. And until
the truth of these things is removed
the suspicious wAl not go.
The railroads are entitled to fair
play. So are the people. The people
are going to give the railroads fair
play, whether they earn it or not.
They are going to compel the railroads
to give them fair play whether they
like it or not. But whether this shall
be done with suspicion" or in trust
ing good faith will depend on the rail
roads. 1t is Mr.. Harriman's move.

In the fact the boy Livermore man

reductio ad absurdum of the system

unusually wealthy while two million
