TOURISTS

I'M ANY of the tourists who are pour
NE ing into Los Angeles are visiting
A'-A- the city for the first time. They
find it surpasses their expectations
Most of the eastern publications arc
as much space in their news columns
as it deserves, and the only big special
story which has been published con-
corning California in some time was
Golfers abomination regarding the
plague. Kept in the dark by their
home papers, and deprived by periodi-
calls of reading matter with regard to
this state, our new visitors come to an
almost unknown land, and their over
joyed surprise is always gratifying to
the habitual citizen. The time will
come when there will be less opportun-
ity for genuine surprise, because the
Pacific coast will get its due share of
space in Atlantic publications.
Even more delightful than the sur
prise of first visitors is the astonish-
ment of tourists who have visited Los
Angeles in former years. The growth
of the city is so great that it can hard
ly be realized by its citizens. They are
aware of it, but it does not overwhelm
them with establishment and admira-
tion, as it does the easterner. Here are
great, fine, beautiful buildings, among
the biggest and architecturally the
most graceful on the North American
continent, where not many years ago
were little cottages or perhaps two
story business blocks.
In a few years all traces of old Los
Angeles will have disappeared. The
Plaza church and a few of the old
Sonoratown buildings may be preserved
by antiquarians, for arts sake. But
the last traces of the old pueblo will
vanish, leaving not a wrack behind,
and instead there will be the most Won
derful industrial and commercial city
in the United States, which with all
its manufacturing interests will pre-
serve its beauty, it's cleanliness, its
clear blue sky.
San Pedro harbor, crowded with mer-
chant vessels from all the far-fiung
oceans and the seven sounding seas,
will give salt water flavor to the
great new metropolis, and with it's free
seaport and its excellent railroad and
street car service, Los Angeles will
dominate the western shores, and con-
tribute lavish share to the greatness,
the glory and wealth of the United
States.

CHINESE FAvoRs EVOLUTION,
WESTERN WORLD REVOLUTION

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.-TEditor
Herald; In The Herald for the 4th In
stant in an article labeled New Con-
stitutions Are Now Ado. lied by Ola
Lands" China's way of instituting re-
form is commented upon as strange
to the American matter of fact eye.
Now the fact is that the Chinese
way is in reality the way with an
eye to matters of fact. The American
way is the way of hurry. So Is the
way Of the whole western world.
China's way is that of evolution, IN
contrast to the western method Of rev.
olution. China's way is the more
Christian and humanitarian.
China, having given first railroad
concession, as soon as the railroad had
commenced operations hurried to buy
it at an exaggerated price, and on
getting ownership, Immediately de-
stroyed it.
"Stupid John Chinaman" proved him
self very wise, very considerate ana
very sensible by that act.
When society was founded upon ag-
riculture and modern machinery was
not thought of, China built up a So
ciety that should provide existence and
comfort for as great population as
possible.
With a population as thick as an
antheap, under normal conditions, the
Chinese had to work today If he want
ed to live today, but doing it he lived,
got comfort for his family, educated
some of his children for official life
and sometimes put by little for "a
rainy day"-all from farm of two,
three or five acres.
The movement of products was by
wheelbarrow and coolie. The railroads,
with only one train running in each
direction daily, hauled as much as
1900 coolies could do. Each daily train
load, therefore, took the existence away
from 1900 men and the families.
"The workinginan (coolie) be

FREEDOM BEING INTERAcTIVE
CANNOT BE ABSOLUTE

LOS ANGELES, Nov 10.-[Editor
HERALD: Let us get down to a basis.
Even the absolute freedomiJt" has to
admit that absolute" freedom is not,
and cannot really be absolute in hu-'
man society.
Socialist friend to take tea with an
Anarchists most interesting man,
whom 1 knew pretty well. In a dis
cussion that arose the Socialist, point
ing out of the window, asked: what
would you do with a man who in the
exercise of this absolute freedom you
demand persisted in using that tele-
phone wire for clothesline, blocking
your light, scandalizing the neighbor-
hood and possibly impairing the tele-
phone service of several families?"
The Anarchist began to reply with
what promised to be a long scientific
dissertation, but the other stopped him
by saying: Excuse me, Tom, old man,
well listen to all that afterward, but
do first answer briefly and to the
point-what would you do with that
person I have postulate ?'
The Anarchist looked annoyed for a
moment, then jumping to his feet and
rapping his knuckles on the table,
said: why, we would HANG such
people as that"
Now he was not the kind of man
who wanted to hang even a dog, much
less a fellowman; he was, like Bob,
the drainman," speaking "'otter'n e
meant" but in that sentence he gave
up the case of absolute freedom. He
admitted that when one mans freedom
became a menace or a hindrance to
the freedom of others it had to be
dealt with and restrained.
Now the whole question as it affects
this discussion is as to whether what
my Anarchist friends call "compul-
sion" under Socialism would tend to
exceed this necessary mutual guaran-
tee and restraint. Since the economic
maladjustment out of which almost
entirely all oppression and tyranny
arises, would be set right-how and
why should there be any tyranny? A

POLITICAL PARTY MUST BE
Welded TO MAJORITY RULE

BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 9.-[Editor
Herald]: Perhaps an outsider may pc
allowed to try his hand at straighten-
ing out the snarl in which Mr.. stone
and DIR. Berghall have become involved
with a handful of voluntary Social
lists.
DR.. Bergha1l says, speaking of his
conception of the cooperative COM
monwealth: 1.-THE only compulsion that
will be existent is the inevitable COM
pulsion of natural law" And Mr.. Stone
writes: 'If there could '-e in my view
any shadow of the possibility that gov
ernment Organization under Social
ism would be in the faintest degree
comparable to government, as we know
it today, then I for one would be as
rabidly antagonistic to it as Tx. G.
ct al"
Now, it is self-evident to me that
DIR. Berghall, having in view society
in which the only compulsion shall be
that of natural law, Is really advocat-
ing the identical thing that all yolun-
tary Socialists Cor Anarchists) stand
for and that Mr.. Stone, with his strong
condemnation of government, is of pre-
cisely the same mind. But the latter
must understand that the Socialism of
the Socialist party is of an exactly op-
posite brand.
It's whole literature, from harl MARX
to the latest utterances of such men
as Victor Berger, teens with declara-
tions that the majority must rule, and
If you substitute for the word rule"
the word administer" you do not alter
the case, for men are ruled through
others administering that without
which they cannot sustain life. All
governments call themselves adminis-
trations and they do administer, but
not for the workers.
Moreover, a political party neces-
sarily believes in majority rule. The
whole object of political campaign IS
TO get the majority and then rule
thereby. Politics is war, and the con-
quered minority has to do what the
conquering majority dictates.
If you doubt that politics is war,
consider the presidents remark the
evening of November 8: I'VE have
whipped them to a frazzle."

TRUSTS GUARANTY

:" 3. MILES, chairman OF the tariff
committee of the National
L. Association of Manufacturers,
cannot be accused of being a foe of
'tariff or an enemy of protection. Yet
he makes the accusation that the Re-
publican administration which viii sue
eeed that of President Roosevelt will
take Office pledged, by the rottenest
political platform ever blindly ratified
at the polls by a hoodwinked nation, to
tariff for the trusts. Further, he
makes the accusation that while
guaranty Of bank deposits was rejected
the voters have been bamboozled into
indorsing a project for the guaranty of
profits to certain manufacturers. One
of the planks in the rotten Republican
platform, which after the Inauguration
of President Taft will become the pro-
gram of the government, calls for the
imposition of such duties as will equal
''the differences between the cost of
production at home and abroad. to-
gether with a reasonable profit to
American industries" If this is not
guaranty of profits what is it? Then.
in the name of common sense, why re-
fuse protection to the small savings of
hardworking wage Garner, whose ac-
cumulations are made slowly and pain
fully, dollar by dollar?
With blunt honesty and refreshing
outspokenness the chairman of the
manufacturers tariff committee an
nounces and submits proof to back him
in announcing that the new Republican
government will take office practically
pledged to a guaranty of tariff grating.
Guaranty Of banking deposits was de-
nounced by Republican leaders and re-
jected by voters. Government does not
insure farmers crops. It does not
guarantee good wages to labor. 1t does
not guarantee salaries to clerks. Gov
ernment once guaranteed Union Pacific
bonds, but it held the road as security
and sold out at last to reimburse itself.
Government did not guarantee rea-
sonable or any profits to American rail-
way investors In that case, but in the
tariff plank the dominant and conquer
ing party solemnly pledges itself to
guarantee solvency and good earning
return to stockholders and investors In
trusts. In plain language, the voters
have sanctioned trust making by gov
ernment enactment. During the four
years of the Taft and trust administra-
tion constant and keen vigilance will
be the price of American liberty.

OPPOSING PRINCIPLES OF
PARTIES MUST BE GRAsPED

LOS ANGELES. Nov, 7.-[Editor
Herald: "T. X. G." gave us a good
stroke off his bat November by de-
fining the fundamental principles of
the two parties, viz, Capitalization in
Republicanism and decentralization
and individualism in Democracy.
This not being understood generally
accounts for the lack of spirit shown
in the late fight, as most voters did
not really know what principles were
involved.
Some made their votes on personal
grounds and others on business
grounds, fearing that a change of gov
ernment from Republican to Demo-
cratic control might upset their dinner

MILTON SLANDERED

Ct HAKESPEARE having been Ba-
~ coned, the iconoclasts are batter
~ ing the reputation of another
stalwart of literature. John Mil
ton is the object OF attack. A maga-
zine writer with a terrifying knowl-
edge of ancient italian libraries says
Paradise Lost was ''prigged' from
Salandra. Many resemblances between
the work Of Salandra and that of
Milton are noted, evidently to the in
tense joy of the critic (who reminds
us of a bad boy in a jam closet).
He says Milton has the same cast OF
characters as Salandra. 'Adamo' was
dramatic poem, but Paradise Lost
was written in epic form, which still
further disguised It's origin" (Ah! sly
John MiltonD
Where did Milton become acouaint-
ed with the tragedy, 'Adano'?'' asks
the iconoclast. 'Tt was at Naples,
according to Cowper, that the English
poet may first have entertained the
idea of the loss of paradise as a sub
ject peculiarly fit for poetry. But Mil
ton had returned to England long be-
fore Salandra's poem was printed. .
Unless we take it for granted that
Manso was intimate with the author
Salandra and sent or gave Milton a
CO... of the manuscript of 'Adamo'
before it was printed. or that Milton
was personally familiar with Salandra,
we may conclude that the poem was
forwarded to him from Italy by some
other friend. A chance there
fore seems to have decided Milton.
Salandra's tragedy fell into his hands
and was welded into the epic form
which he had designed for Arthur the
Great"
We wonder why there is such a
prejudice against admitting that a
man who writes the English language
successfully may be original? Admir-
ers of Milton will find consolation in
the fact that the attack is not only
posthumous, but, If we may hay so,
VERY posthumous. He has been dead
for a long time. We don't believe
Milton pilfered Paradise Lost" from
salandra. And-who was Salandra,
anyway?
