The Times had twenty-six pages, the Ex-
amner twenty, the Herald fourteen. Thus
it will be seen that in comparatively small
compass The Herald packed proportionately
far more news than other papers. None of
its space was wasted, and we wish TO i'm
press on you the importance of this from the
viewpoint of the busy reader. To waste
space is to waste the time of the reader.
The object of The Herald is to present com
pactly, attractiveIy and completely the news
of our city, of neighboriBg cities of the
state, of the nation and of the world. This
is accomplished by means of the services of
a highly trained, expert local staff, large
corps Of trained correspondents stationed at
centers of news interest, and the full news
service of the Associated Press, which is
without rival. 1t is the best news gathering
organization ever devised and perfected by
the knowledge and experience of man. 1t
keeps the readers of Los Angeles Herald
in touch with every part of the world. No
event worth writing about takes place any
where in the globe that is not reported for
this paper by the local staff, the correspond
ents or the Associated Press. The Herald
does not encourage sensatiOnalism. and does
not believe it is a meritOrious feature of the
news. Some news is of itself sensational.
Events of tragical or heart-stirring import
ance generally may be considered more or less
sensational in their nature and effect. But
The Herald does not cultivate sensatiOnallsm.
1t does not color story. Its news is plain
white, neither yellow red, and may
he pardoned If we borrow the well known
answer to an old conundrum and say that
although Ii is white, it is "read all over"
The number of readers of Los Angeles
Herald is increasing constantly. Many dis
eliminating readers have been attracted by
the accuracy and completeness of The Her
AIDS naval news. Its daily naval report,
obtained especially from Washington, has
been feature eagerly expected and well
coined aboard the visiting warships.

In the death Of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman Britain loses a valuable
public servant and the United States
a great and good friend. In spite of
his title he was neither a nobleman nor
an aristocrat, but the son of the pro-
vost (mayor) of Glasgow, who received
what British wits call "a handle to his
name" Sir Henry was good, whole
some, honest, square individual, with
out "frills," and in many characteristics
resembled John Wanamaker. He
led what is called a "lucky" life,
was invariably successful in his -dn-
dertakings, and added the name Ban
herman TO his family or clan name
when relative left him fortune.

CAUSES OF UNREST

DR. JAMES P. BOOTH summarized
the political situation in his ad-
~ dress to the Democratic league,
in which he said: "The government
for the masses is a government of
democratic character; a government
which protects all equally, with equal
rights to the people and special favors
10 none. All over the country
at this time there is feeling of un-
rest. Men tell us the country is pros
porous. But in spite of this boasted
prosperity we have panics and we nave
strikes We had held before us during
the last great national campaign the
full dinner pail This a sign of pros
perity and plenty. What has become
of the full dinner pail? 1t is empty.
We were told that taxation would be
reduced but the poor man tells me MS
taxes are increasing That is why
there is so much unrest" In other
words. Republican promises have not
been kept. They have been broken
Republican leaders promised conditions
which would produce the greatest good
for the greatest number of citizens.
Instead they afflicted the country with
conditions which produced the greatest
good for the smallest number, kept the
majority of the others on the ragged
edge of poverty and the majority suf-
fering from actual poverty, deprived
the United States of educational su-
premacy among nations degrading our
country from leadership to fifth place,
and sent to the mines, the factories and
the sweatshops two million American
boys and girls who should be at school.

Much practical encouragement is
given to the cause of temperance by
the life insurance companies, which
are not only ruling out drunkards and
hard drinkers. but beginning to dis
criminate against moderate drinkers.
If it be true that many economic evils
are caused by the drink evil, that par
ent evil should be abolished. Many
students hold that the association be-
tween intoxicating drinks and poverty
is close. If by eliminating intoxicat-
ing drinks from the life of the ma
ton we will also eliminate misery, why
this delay in the application of rem
edy so obvious? If prohibition is the
panacea for poverty, why not apply
1t Immediately?
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-23

readily be abolished if the state can
force all the unemployed, the paupers,
criminals and dependents to work.
That the man out of a job is a
dodger and that society should put
him to work with coercive measures is
a new and startling view of the So
cial problem. If this is the freakish
fudge with which the Republican par
ty intends to offset stories of lack of
employment and consequent distress,
and of the robbery of two million
children of education, its campaign
will be a roaring farce.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-23

Doubtless the disgrace and punish
ment of a once popular public official
in Los Angeles will have a salutary
effect everywhere. The tendency to
believe that public office is a private
graft should be checked, no matter
how petty the form of the grating
may be- 1t is as wrong to collect spu-
rious expense accounts as to steal
from the public treasury, as wrong to
steal from the public treasury as to
burglarize a bank. Circumstances
never alter criminal cases. and rarely
modify them. To urge that they do is
mere casuistry, and the national con-
science at last refuses to accept it as
an excuse for account-tinkering or bill
padding. or any other form of theft.
