NAVAL DEBTS

A DMIRAL BOB EVANS has spoken
"a his mind concerning the American
IA navy and naval affairs, and his
published statement leaves definite
impression that he welcomed the oppor-
tunity of retirement from active SER
vice in order that he might say some
things which ought to be said for the
good of the government, the navy ana
the American people.
He says the fleet entertainments have
left American officers in debt. Con
gress had appropriated liberal sum
for the entertainment of foreign guests,
he says, "but not a cent for the enter
tainment of our own people. 1t is easy
to say that we were not compelled to
entertain the thousands of people who
visited our ships, but it is impossible
to convince an American officer or blue
Jacket that such is the case. If our
friends come to see us we Will give
them a smoke and a glass of wine, even
If we have to deprive ourselves in order
TO do 1t, It was only necessary during
the stay of the fleet at Hampton Roads
to glance over tHe WdlSi AZ Hi6h' ~ SSN'
what was going on-dinner parties on
every ship. The majority of the officers
of the navy are of course in the lower
grades, young men; in other words,
living on salaries that had not been in
creased in thirty years. The result
was inevitable-most of them left
Hampton Roads in debt, or, as the SER
vice has it, with dead horse TO work
out"
Both for the sake of the creditors and
for the sake of the young men who
were plunged into debt in an unavoid7
able manner, which was "all in the
days work" we think the government
should take care of the dead horses
Perhaps it will.

Railroad Machine Desires

ly. commercially and politically with
the corporation interests which govern
the Republican machine, The ma
chimes majority of delegates in the
convention did not boo and hiss Judge
Dunne's name because Judge Dunno is
a Democrat. They insulted him be-
cause they knew him to bo sympathet-
ic with the graft prosecution; that
Is, in accord with the doctrine that
q bribe giver, IL guilty, ought to be
punished no matter how much money
he may possess.
In order that there should be no mis-
understanding about the Republican
machines Idea of what a Judge ought
to be, the delegates who refused to
nominate Judge Dunno gave nomin-
alton to Carroll Cook, whose record Is
sufficiently known, and to young Isidor
Golden and young John ]. Van Nos

office of Henry Ach, Ruef's lawyer.
Both Golden and Van Nostrand are
now drawing $500 a month as Justices

strated his fitness to To- a superior

very sort of judges that the machine
would lilxe-the sort of Judge. for ex-
ample. that Carroll Cook is.
The superior court bench is elreudy

the unworthy and 1t could hardly stand

THE HUB

nEGISTRATION discloses the inter-
n, esting and welcome fact that
~ Los Angeles county, politically,
socially and commercially, is the most
| important in the state of California.
Its nearest rival San Francisco, has
a voting strength of about 10000, while
in Los Angeles county are more than
| 100000 qualified voters. Surely this
will bring home to those who do not
yet appear to be conscious of 1t the
| truth that the center of power and pop
ulation in California today is Los An
geles, the importance and leadership
of which are undisputed on this coast.
With this Importance and leadership
comes added responsibility. 1t Is of
the utmost Importance that we should
all make it our common aim to have
the best county, as well as the biggest,
the best city, as we'll as the biggest.
If every individual citizen will do what
he can to bring about this result the
metropolis of Los Angeles, the metrop-
oils of California and of the far west,
will achieve a greatness that cannot
De estimated III uOlldrS Or iHedSuFeu
by record of growth in population.
Fain would we see Los Angeles the
foremost American city in the illustra-
ton of Americanism in daily life. in
civic life, in social life, in business and
in politics.
Let every citizen make it his aim
to promote not only the material in
terests of this city but whatsoever
things are true, lovely and of good
report. Only what is true will survive,
for only truth has in 1t elements of
permanence. Therefore, in cultivating
and encouraging civic ethics and pop
ular altruism Los Angeles will gain
permanent power and perennial pros
perity.

CHARGES

~ ONE very grave charges have been
- made against Mr.. Haskell, gov
~ ernor of Oklahoma and treasurer
of the Democratic national committee.
first by William r. Hearst, then by the
president AS far as Mr.. Hearst is con-
cerned, personal attacks upon prom
inent Democrats are to be expected,
and in making such attacks 1t is diff
cult, if not impossible, for Hearst to
conceal his animus.
Charges preferred by Hearst there
fore need not per Sc be regarded seri-
eusly. But when the president of the
United States repeats or indorses
Hearst's charges it is undoubtedly a
grave matter for the accused person,
and it is urgently important he should
Justify or clear himself if he would re-
tain the respect and confidence of the
Democratic party. But before he is
condemned he must have chance OF
justifying or clearing himself. He must
not be denounced or set aside without
a hearing That would be an utterly
unfair and un-American proceeding. He
| has already offered to submit Hearst S
charges to the editors of the most
prominent Republican and Democratic
papers in the country. He has offered
to submit proofs and abide by the edi-
torial judgment of the case.
The charges made by the president
Governor Haskell denies positively and
emphatically, and the public will do
what is right and fair by reserving
Judgment until he has had an oppor-
tunity of establishing the truth of his
denial.
Whatever may be the truth with re-
gard to the allegations made concern
ing Governor Haskell and denied by
him, it is absolutely certain and unde-
niably true that on the Republican
national executive committee and prom
inent in the management of the Repub-
lican campaign is Gen. Du Pont, man
whom President Roosevelts attorney
general has already found to be law
breaker and whose powder trust is now
being proceeded against for violation
of the law.

FORGERY

W HE law does not sanction the COM
mission Of one crime in order to
Il punish another. The men who
sent forged kilograms to a fugitive in
order to entrap him into entering Cali
fornia, where papers in civil suit were
filed on him, have been fined 5000 apiece.
When a fugitive is wanted on the
charge of having committed a crime
against property there are many stick
lers for ethics who will say the crime
committed against his mind and person
by those who falsely wired him that
one of his relatives was dangerously Ill
was much worse than any crime against
property. Besides the public moral of
the transaction was wholly bad.
Nothing is as easy to forge as tele-
gram, because the recipient does not
see the actual signature of the sender.
Therefore it should be made even more
difficult and dangerous to forge a tele-
gram than to forge a document. 1t is
sometimes almost impossible for a
telegraph operator to pass on" the
authenticity of a signature appended to
a message, and we believe the COM
munity has escaped a plague Of false
telegrams merely because this form of
knavery had happily never been thought
of or suggested. Now 1t has been sug-
gested, and in spite of the fine imposed
on the geniuses who did an injury to
the nation by originating it, may be
initiated by many receptive and inn
pressionable criminal or weak minds
Many crimes are the result of mental
impression or suggestion. When new
kind or more of crime is invented it is
always initiated. The men who in
vented a new and most dangerous kind
of crime well deserved the punishment
imposed by Judge Wilbur.

III Wo good objects were accomplished
when the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league minority in the Republican
convention placed Judge Dunno In
nomination and forced the railroad ma
chine to reject him. The incident pro-
claimed to the public that, Judge Dunno
has the support of the politically de-
cent Republicans and at the same time
made conspicuous the Republican ma
chimes resolute desire to pack the
bench of the superior court with unfit
men.
The people of San Francisco have
been educated to an appreciation of the
virtue OF non-partisanship in the Sc
lection of judges. Whatever other
mistakes the people may make they
usually display intelligence in voting
for judges and may be trusted TO make
a pretty wise choice among the variety
Of candidates. Republicans, therefore,
would not have been panied or scan
dalized had the Republican convention
nominated Judge Dunno, who Is a
Democrat. Other Republican conven-
tions In California have nominated
Democrats without exciting an upris-
ing. The Republican convention of San
Benito county has nominated Judge
Dooling, q Democrat, and the Demo-
cratic convention. of Marin county has
nominated Judge Lennon, q Republi-
can. says the San Francisco Bulletin.
But the people of the city are aware
that the Republican machines real OBJ
lection to Judge Dunno was not that
he is a Democrat, but that he Is just
fudge who has refused to show favor
to wealthy criminals associated social

KIT WAS dead drunk at the time '
is the excuse given by Fred
"A Markham, who shot and killed
his brother at San Fernando. This is
not much of an excuse under any cir
cumstances, but under the extraor-
binary circumstances which invite COM

cuse at all. It appears that when sober

society for the crime of Fred Mark
ham and the death of Charles.
In selling and in encouraging the
general sale of intoxicating liquor un-
der any pretext or with any alleged ere
strictions'' society constantly exposes
itself TO the risk of being a partici-
| pant in actual crime. If the sale of in
| toxicating drink is forbidden and a
man first evades the law and then be-
comes criminally drunk, his guilt is on
his own head, but when liquor may be
had by any one who has the price, even
although 1t may have the extraordi-
nary effect that alcohol sometimes has
OF altering the nature of the drinker
until the mild man becomes the ma
MAC, the peaceful man the bully. the
kindly man the assassin, then society is
responsible for crimes caused by alco-
hol, and this responsibility cannot be
evaded or lodged by any member of
society.
We believe it is true that many
drunken men do not know what they
are doing, and we believe it is an es-
tablished fact that while liquor may
make a lamb of lion it may make a
lion of lamb, and that under its in
f1uence a normally peaceful man may
become a menace to his fellow men.

RoosEvELT's MISTAKES

| m HE HERALD earnestly invites the
serious attention of all good citi.
n gems to the special dispatch from
Washington appearing in Its columns
this morning dealing with the appoint
ment to an important place on the
Republican national executive commit
tee of Gen. Du Pont, the head of the
infamous powder trust.
Citizens, both Democrat and Repub-
lican. who have heretofore admired
Mr.. Roosevelt for his stand in favor
of law enforcement, will no doubt be
surprised to learn that, although ear
nestly appealed to by prominent
member of his party, he has made no
effort to protect that party against the
disgrace of having the important
speakers committee of its national ex-
ecutive committee controlled by one of
the most Objectionable representatives
of predatory wealth" in the United
States, a man whose trust methods
have become so infamous and notori-
and Of which he is the head is now be-
ing proceeded against by the attorney
general of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet.
The action of Mr.. Roosevelt in throw
ing all the influence of his high Office
into the endeavor to serve the cause of
Mr.. Taft by accusing Governor Haskell
of the Democratic national executive
committee of crimes which have only
heretofore been the subject of rumor
or hearsay, and refusing to interfere
to clear the national executive COM
mittee OF his own party of the pres
ence OF a member whose crimes against
the government have been vouched for
by his own attorney general, is an ex-
hibition of partisanship on the part of
the president of the United States
which The Herald, in common with all
who have admired and Endorsed many
of his actions. will deeply regret.
Had Mr.. Roosevelt seen fit to have
granted the request of a prominent
member Of his own party who protested
against the appointment Of Du Pont to
the position of chairman of the COM
mittee controlling the speakers of the
national Republican campaign, and be-
sought the president to use his inf1u-
ence to prevent such disgrace to his
party, 1t is inconceivable that the party
managers would have persisted in this
disgraceful surrender of the most i'm
portant part of their party machinery
to the representative of trusts and
predatory wealth"
Verify, the president should have
given some attention to the beam in
the eye" Of his own party organization
before he concerned himself SO strenu-
ously with the mote" that might rest
in the eye of the organization which is
seeking to defeat his candidate, Mr..
Taft.

EXPLANATIONS

N EXPLANATION Of the unseemly
u haste of the supervisors in the
"A award Of the good roads bonds, as
we'll as of the secrecy without which
hasty action would have been impos-
sible, has been offered. It is alleged
the supervisors hurried through the
bond deal because they wished to
handle the contracts for the roads be-
fore the new board should come into
power. If this be true, then public in
terest was betrayed to a desire to
handle the contracts, and Immediately
the question is suggested: Why were
the supervisors so eager to control the
disposition and awarding of the con-
tracts?
Was it because of their devotion to
duty, was 1t on account of their zeal
for public interest, was 1t by reason of
their concern for the welfare of the
community, that the solid three re-
solved to take a precipitate measure
which would put the contracts in their
power? Like Mephishbosheth, son of
Saul, the explanation Is lame in both
the good opinion of the community
they must offer an excuse or apology
for their conduct which will allay sus-
picion, instead of increasing it. 'Tis a
thousand pities that public matter Of
such moment as the crystallization of
the good roads movement into definite
action which should give us good roads
should have been marred by the scan
dal for which the solid three members
of the board of supervisors are respon-
sible, and, whether rapacity or inca
pacity is to be offered as the excuse
for their extraordinary action, they
cannot be reinstated in the confidence
and good graces of a justly offended
public. Even when the sale is re-
scinded, even when their official action
is nuliifled, their conduct will neither
be rescinded nor nullified.

In Germany In the year 1s04 there
were ia employers trade accident IN

members of these associations In the
year 1904 employed some 11,600,0OO
workmen. In other words, 1I,5OO,OOO

Compensation was awarded In the
year 1904 to some 10000 employees
who had been injured in the course OF
the year. Compensation was also
awarded to some 100000 employees who
had been injured in previous years and
who still remained totally or partially
incapacitated. And. finally, compen-
sation was awarded to some $4,000
widows and to some 100000 children

inal. However. the total amount of
compensation in the year 1904 reached
$40, 100000.
So much for accident insurance. Now
to go for a minute to sickness insur-

In 1904 the German "sick clubs"

of just about $50, $780, 900.
But the Germans have third form
of compulsory insurance. 1t Is called
invalidity insurance. 1t provides small
pensions (very small). for workmen
who have become permanent invalids
through sickness. and for workmen
who have reached the age of 20. The
employers pay half the premiums of
the invalldity insurance funds and the
employees pay the other half. And the
imperial government adds a small
bonus. The amount of compensation
awarded by the invalidity clubs in 1904
was. approximately, $35,500,000.
The total cost of accident insurance.
sickness insurance and invalidity in
surance to the German empire in the
year 1904 was. In round numbers. $780,

speaking, fell on the employers of
Germany and the other half fell on the
workmen.
