HAY, NOT ROOSEVELT

WE believe President Roosevelt is
w entitled to credit for everything
W he has accomplished since he
first stormed public life and entered
upon a career of righteous strenuous
ness. But we believe the presidents
sense of justice will cause him to ap-
prove our conduct In calling attention
to the fact that Golfers Is attempting
to place on his brow a laurel that he
has not earned by making the state
ment: "Raisuli is the same bandit who
kidnapped the American merchant,
Perdicaris and held him for ransom
UNTIL PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SENT THE FAMOUS MESSAGE
THAT WE MUST HAVE PERDI-
CARTS ALIVE OR RAISULI DEAD"
1t was indeed a famous message, but
President Roosevelt did not word 1t,
did not send 1t and is not entitled to
credit for it, The message was con-
ceived written and sent by John Hay,
secretary of state, one of the greatest
Americans who was ever in politics
without being a politician.
On June %, 1904, a cablegram was
received by Secretary Hay through the
navy department and Admiral Chad
wick from Consul Gummere at Tan
gier, relative to the Perdicaris nego-
tiations. 1t indicated that satisfactory
progress was not being made. The
good faith of the Moorish government
was called into question by the United
States negotiators. In response to their
application for further instructions
Secretary Hay told them they must
adhere strictly to their original instruc-
tions. must not in any way become in
volved in guarantees or otherwise with
other nations, must not land marines or
sailors without specific instructions
from Washington, and, finally, must
demand from the Moorish government
EITHER PERDICARIS ALIVE OR
RAISULI DEAD.
The credit FOR this firm and manly
message belongs entirely to Secretary
Hay and not at all t President Roose-
welt. Golfers in its endeavor to claim
erything for Col. Roosevelt has
slighted the memory Of one of the
greatest and most many-sided Ameri-
cans who ever lived, equally renowned
for craftsmanship for having helped
prepare biography of Lincoln and for
having written that immortal American
poem Little Breeches."

RECOGNITION

"HE recognition of Los Angeles Her

Birthday was we'll timed. The Herald
is the representative in Los Angeles
and Southern California of Jeffersonian
Democracy, which is distinguished for
purity of principle and consistency OIL
practice. It's standard is Americanism,
and it tries to live up to that standard
Although The Herald is we'll aware that
it is recognized and appreciated by
Democrats, although hundreds OF let

individual recognition, 1t values of1clal
recognition and Endorsement by gentle

cheerfully the responsibility of speak

the official bodies in the Democratic
organization. 1t will do its pest TO heip
them in their noble efforts to guide
THE GOOD OLD CAUSE AND THE

of Thomas jefferson, and will continue

life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness for all citizens; for equal rights,
including EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS for
all citizens and the boys who 7-ill be
citizens and girls who will be wives

abolition of the special privileges that
have caused trouble and distress in the

HEARST DOUKHOBORS

NHARACTERISTI flippant is
4 the pronunciamento, prospectus,
~ warwhoop or whatever 1t is of the
Hearst independence league. With
merrie Jest and jocund fling doth Willie
Alsorandolph settle the affairs of the
nation. He says that all parties but
his are out of date, all politicians but
him are effete, all policies but his are
antediluvian. "The donkey and the
elephant" remarks Willie the Wise,
before many years will go to join the
dodo and other extinct useless crea-
lures" He is not making geological
forecast, but prophesying the destiny
of the Democratic and Republican par"
ties. Unless his metaphor is mixed, the
word "dodo" must have reference to
an extinct party No doubt Demo-
cratic and Republican orators a few
years hence will use the word "dodo"
In speaking of the Independence league.
There is nothing seriously exciting
about the leagues prospectus AS
usual, MI Hearst has missed oppor-
tunities that would have been obvious
less wise than the gifted Californian
illinoisnewyorker. the only Combina-
ton American now on exhibition, the
original and inimitable e Plur1bus
Unum. He says the country has had
enough government by party which
has come to mean government by plu-
tocracy." This from plutocrat Is
amusing.

brain work has reached the proud
eminence from which he addresses his
fellow citizens and shakes them down
for advertising in half a dozen diff

FINANCIAL EXPERIMENTS

II EEN interest is reported in the eX-
II pertinent of the state of Oklahoma
Ia in guaranteeing bank deposits,
and the Merchants association of New
York is conducting a campaign for
the purpose of arousing public senti-
ment in favor of having the guarantee
feature included in proposed financial
legislation. 1t is said that all over
the country the public is interested in
the question, and the friends of the
Fowler bill and Oklahoma plan of
guarantee state that instead of being
wild and radical both measures are
simple and conservative. 1t is pointed
out by advocates of the measures that
the guarantee feature is every day
mutual insurance applied to bank de-
posits. The state or nation does not
guarantee. 1t merely holds the guar
antee funds as trustee. The Oklahoma
act requires 90 per cent reserve in
towns having a population of less than
250O 25 per cent in communities larger
than 2500. Our national laws require
only Is per cent outside of reserve
cities. The Fowler bill based its note
issue on a gold reserve and liquid
assets, the same underlying principle
on which rest the notes issued by the
Bank of France, which is admitted to
be the best example of a central ma
tional bank. The bill divides the
country into banking districts and
places responsibility for banking meth
bo 6o, in
that district, and assesses 25 per cent
Of local losses upon each district. 1t
offers inducements to state banks and
trust companies to take out national
charters and thus unity the banking
system and strengthen bank reserves.
1t gradually substitutes gold for the
$346, 100000 of legal tenders now only
partly secured. Some bankers. how
ever, are decidedly opposed to a mu-
tual guarantee 1t is also claimed by
opponents of the measures that guar
antee of deposits may make bankers
reckless in lending resources, and that
the knowledge that deposits are guar
anteed will take away motive from
the public to select sound banks for
their funds In reply to these and
similar objections advocates of the new
financial legislation say the public,
under the system of a mutual guaran-
tee of deposits with supervision of each
other by the banks, as well as direct
supervision by the comptroller of the
currency, would be getting the benefit
of competition for conservative and
sound management, and would have
the whole banking system of the coun-
try practically under the control of
its most conservative and careful
members.
