ciples OF Americanism, which are as
good as any social philosophy ever
proposed, and are much more practi-
cal. There Is no doubt they can be car
ried into effect, because they made
this country great, before the service
OF nnamnon displaced IN popular esti-
nation and Importance the service Of
God; before accumulation Of money
and property began to cause social
divisions in the United States and Gre
ate the most ooious system known to
civilization, ancient or modern-that
system which recognizes CLASSES
and makes believe the poor man Is one
kind of American, the rich man an
other. That nonsense may hold good
forever and a day in some countries
under the sun. but in the United States
IT WON'T DO. An American is an
American, whether he Is rich or poor,
and every American is entitled to
steady employment and the opportu-
nifty of earning money with which to
support his family and send his chill
dren to school. The fact that there has
been financial trouble, that Poverty
and Hunger have degraded ana SCARED
and marred the great eastern cities,
proves there is something amiss in the
United states. But the blunder which
must be remedied is not social, and
strictly speaking, is not political. 1t is
ECONOMICAL, and Democratic gov
ernment must be sent to Washington
to cure the economical malady that Is
Affecting the national health and to
put an end TO all talk about $50

HOPES BRYAN WILL STAND
FOR INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY

PASADENA, June SO.--[Editor Her
add: 1t is to be hoped most profoundly
that Mr.. Bryan viii stand, firm and
true, by that individualism of which,
according to Lincoln Steffens, he
processes himself an advocate, and that
he will use all his influence to secure
the defeat of the prohibition PLANK
that Gen. Weaver is trying to insert in
the Democratic platform.
In your issue of today appears a
vigorous protest against the despotic
conduct OF the Chicago authorities in
breaking into private homes and vac
cinating entire families under the
shadow of the policeman's club.
Can the Democratic party not under
stand that such proceedings and the
attempt to force people to abstain from
what they wish to enjoy are all pieces
of the same cloth and that the whole
question of personal liberty is now at
stake in this country as it never was
before?
Cannot the Democratic party under
stand that it's historic role is to stand,
firm and true, by personal liberty,
which is the direct gate to equality of
opportunity and means, therefore, the
establishment of equality and the con-
sequent abolition of poverty?

shall be cut off; and he shall speak
neace TO the heathen; and his domin-
ion shall be from sea even to sea. and

nature might be multiplied, for the
real, literal kingship Of Jesus is testi-
fled of him more abundantly than any
other characteristic.

Anelo-Saxon but the Israelitish nation

TRANK WIGGINS reports that
Fourth Of July bonds are being
4 sold, but says he wishes more
people would wake up and do their
part toward getting Los Angeles
share of the big Pacific coast trade.
He says he would like to see more en-

race, the success of which rs an Inn

each entitle the bearer to transporta-
tion to and from San Pedro by electric
car on Harbor day, and entitle him
to a trip five miles out to sea on the
big steamer Hermosa to see the start
of the ocean yacht race.
The transpacific race will not only
be the greatest maritime sporting
event OF modern times, making even
the famous Americas cup races at
New York Insignificant by contrast,
but will be a great and momentous
trade and transportation event. 1t will
be an object lesson in the commercial
possibilities of the Pacific, and in the
prospects that will be opened up for
trade development and expansion by the
San Pedro harbor and completion of
the Panama canal. San Pedro harbor
is destined to be one Of the greatest
seaports In the world. The commerce
of both oceans viii be tributary to it.
and it win be the half way house be-

LOS ANGELES, June 2e.--[Editor

Strange Verdict of Jury.

The ways Of juries are inscrutable.
The method Of reasoning which they
employ is often beyond finding out.
Perhaps it should be attributed to the
complexity and sometimes asininity
of the law. Take the Hensley YER
dict. for instance, at Noblesville-
Hensley went to- the house Of a young
woman, forced his way into her sick
room and snapped a revolver in her
face. When members OF her family
attempted to- check him he turned
upon them and when the melee vas
ended the girls father and brother
were dead at his hands and the re-
mainder Of the family terrified and
driven behind locked doors. where
they narrowly escaped becoming vic
tins also OF the ferocity OF the muir
derer. The jury finds the man guilty
of manslaughter and he will serve
from two 10 twenty-One years I'M
prisonment for a crime almost unpar-
alleled in central Indiana. The yer
dict was so light that the murderer
held something like a jollification
meeting with the jury after the YER
dict was rendered. 1t looks as if the
State ought TO have the right OF au-
peal now denied 1t where justice falls
so far short.-Indianapolis News.

For the Public Good.

An independent and ably edited
newspaper which commands a great
circulation is probably the o pot
ent influence for good in the United
States today. The power for the bet
ter things in public affairs and poll
cies. for instance. which is welded
by such a newspaper as The Chicago
Record-Herald can scarcely be exag-
gerated, and much of that strength
comes in the EAST OF THIS leading
Chicago daily from the fact that it IS
absolutely independent, fearless and
fair. 1t is not the mouthpiece of any
interest except that OF the public. The
Record-Herald CHAMPIONS the cause
OF the good: the clean, the beneficial
in every matter OF city, state or ma
tional moment. I'll is the knowledge
on the part OF its readers that it cares
not whom il hits or what enemies il
makes. so long as it is battling for the
welfare OF the community, which
gives to The Record-Herald much of
the influence it enjoys. 1t gives in
its news columns the most complete
and impartial reports OF political
events, another evidence of its splen-
did news service.
