rs that West ss55?" asked a sweet
voiced girl yesterday over the tele-
phone.
Yes" came the answer.
She would speak with the young man
from the east He had expected the
call and was happy to talk. Arrange
ments for a meeting were soon com
plete. He was to stand on the safety
station at Lotta's fountain, carrying a
folded newspaper and wearing a red
carnation.
Until the last lingering raw from that
July sun disappeared he stayed by his
post True, he was walked on by the
hurrying crowd, and the sharp blasts
of the southeast wind turned him fS1-
side out He knuckled the dirt out of
his eyes and assumed patient air. He
was bent on matrimony. Sad to relate,
the blue eyed girl never appeared.
But the gentle swain was not alone
IN spirit. From the windows OF the
Monadnock building he was watched,
until the night blotted out their vision,
by girls with blue eyes and black eyes
and gray eyes. The incipient object of
matrimony was not tempting enough
to cause them to leave their places of
vantage.

AMERICANISM

NOOD sound Americanism charac-
IT terizes the resolutions adopted by
W the Colorado state Democratic
convention. The platform called at
tention to the most extraordinary fea-
ture in the Republican record. Not
only was the naval program of which
the Republicans are Dragging con-
veyed from the Cleveland administra-
ton and borrowed from the brain of
that great and true American, Secre-
tary Whitney but every measure
recommended by the present Republic
can administration for the correction
of evils affecting or menacing the pub
lie welfare or for the promotion of the
general good, was embodied in the ma
tional Democratic platforms of 1896,
1900 and 1904, and has been opposed
by the Republican party. EVERY
EVIL DENOUNCED BY THE PRESI-
DENT AS A MENACE TO THE MA
TON HAS BEEN THE OUT
GROWTH OF REPUBLICAN RULE,
and any statute enacted for the sup
preston of evils was secured by Demo-
cratic votes and was opposed by the
leaders of the presidents party. The
congress whose recent adjournment
has been it's only meritorious act, too
hostile to the presidents recommends
tons to adopt them and too cowardly
to close its session without pretense
of legislation, has deliberately post
poned all matters of paramount i'm
portance until after the next election.
All good Americans will approve the
reco Snition by the Colorado Democrats
of the sterling qualities which make
William Jennings Bryan 1.-The great
commoner." He is a true patriot; a
wise, fearless and conservative states
man and thoroughly honest man. In
the White House or out of it, no ma
chine controls him, no boss dictates
to him. no special interest can coerce
him. His independence, his ability, his
exalted patriotism, his stainless char
acter, appeal to the loyal people of the
nation. To the loyal people of the ma
ton, citizens who believe in the first
principles of Americanism and are
true to them, the Democracy looks for
support.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
STILL SILENT

GAIN we call attention to the
w silence of Hearst on matters re-
- garding which it might have been
expected. If there was anything in his
first claims, he would be the outspoken
champion of the people. When man
brags of his sympathies for a commun-
ity. and his disgust with a corporation
which has abused the confidence of that
community and misused opportunities
we naturally expect him to be up and
doing, with a heart for any fate, when
the time for action arrives. But
Hearst's papers are pursuing clam
policy with regard to the Southern Pa
cific and all it's works. 1t may be as
serted that the yellow journals are ~
and doing. since they are being clrcu-
lated every day, but they are up and
doingsnothing. Each contains plenty OF
printed matter, sheet after sheet; but
of the entire mass well may it be said,
in the words of the dear old hymn:
Nothing but leaves. The spirit grieves
over their wasted lives.
Expert observers remark there has
depression in the region of the Hearst
barrels. If there is any truth in this
it might afford clew to some of the
recent eccentricities of yellow journal
ism, because business is business, and
the country has been through a severe
financial depression, from which, If the
yellow journals did not suffer, they
were lucky indeed. Mr.. Hartman and
the S. P. are probably not worth an
tagonizing at such crises, for verify,
the times that try mems souls are not
to be mentioned in the same breath
with the times that try mems pocket
books. Hearst's treason 20 the Democ-
racy of California will not hurt it, The
treachery of a hopeless and impossible
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton is merely an incident in the his
tory of the grand old Democratic party.
His silence when we would have ex-
pected him to be most eloquent is as
puzzling and inconsistent as other
actions. But perhaps the truth is that
yellow journalism should never under
any circumstances be taken seriously.

JUDGE CHAPMAN

NY THE death of Judge John s.
* Chapman Los Angeles has lost
= an eminent jurist and a popular.
trusted and well beloved citizen. The
dean of the Los Angeles county bar had
maintained through his long and useful
life high standard of probity and in
tegrity which made his career an ex-
ample to young men who entered the
profession he adorned. His name was
synonymous with legal wisdom and
good citizenship. He won and held
the honor, esteem and re-
spect of all members and classes of the
community. He discharged his duties
without fear or favor; was scrupu-
lousy just in all his dealings with his
fellow men, and of him it might have
been said truly. he was one of those
who would rather be right than be
president. He believed that he who
lived the best life was the most wor-
thy of honor, and measured by this
standard never was there anyone wor-
thier of honor than Judge Chapman.
He was we'll known throughout Cali
fornia and, far and wide, will be
mourned sincerely.

CLAIMS

A REVIEW of the Burrows claims
N of what the Republican party
"a has done in four years" yields re-
suits which are laughable when not
melancholy. "Steps taken for tariff revi-
sion" Steps! First steps. The same
steps which have been taken for tariff
revision have succeeded in side-step-
"Steps taken" for tariff revision will be
a campaign claim by the G. o. p, but
tariff revision won't; and what the Re-
publican intentions may be with re-
gard to tariff revision-well, in the
words of a somewhat irreverent old
Scottish ballad, which we never quote
unless an emergency demands it.
The Lord in heaven, He kens fu' weel.
And naebody kens but Him.
You will observe that the old lines
seem to be a paraphrase of Taft's an
swer, but they antedated Taft and his
answer by about three hundred years.
A second Republican claim is "finan-
cial depression overridden by action of
secretary of treasury, and recurrence
guarded against by new currency
measure" So the Republican party is
Dragging that it closed the stable door
after the horse was stolen! Such a
feat would cost the position of any Or
binary groom, and such a plea would
not keep him from being fired" for
carelessness.
A third Republican claim is, "navy
made second among powers of the
world" Angels and ministers of grace
defend us, for here is nerve, bronz'd
and unparalleled. The navy has be-
come second among the powers of the
world because, in the natural course
of events, the naval program devised,
originated and planned by William c.
Whitney, a Democratic secretary Of
the navy, to a great extent has been
carried out. Surely our Republican
friends would not have us believe that
a Democratic government would not
have proceeded to execute its own
plans for the upbuilding of the navy?
Surely they have not forgotten that

SCHOOL IMPosITIoNs ONLY
SINGLE DROP IN THE BUCKET

Los ANGELES, June 17.-[Editor
Herald1: 1 have had good cause during
the last six months to sympathize with
every word that has been said by your
correspondents respecting the demands
made upon parents by the school au-
thorities, for 1 can say to Mr.. ]. v.
Cough that in that time we have known
what hunger means. What l want to
say particularly i'm this letter is that
although I feel most keenly these con-
'stant taxes, they would amount to
very little If only times were good and
employment to be had.
AS 1t is, am more interested in see
ing that Mr.. Westgate proposes to ex-
pose the manner in which interested
persons, who no doubt are anxious TO
boom their real estate and keep up
their rents, are lying to the people east
about this being a good place to make
money in, while the truth is that the
ordinary man who has lost his job as
a result of the panic, as my husband
did, finds it impossible to get anything
to do, the waiting lists being crowded
with the applications of newcomers who
are willing to work for almost nothing.
Meanwhile rents are kept up to the
highest point, and this compels the
tradesmen to keep up prices, as they
say that their own expenses force them
to charge high.
I do not like the impositions prac-
ticed at the schools, but we could stand
them IL times were easier or the neces-
saries of life-food, clothing and shell
ter-more reasonable. AS it is, we are
victimized on all sides.

SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS

q DON after election day great, pro-
gressive convention of world wide
~ Importance and significance will be
held In Santiago. The government of
Chile has invited the government of the
United States to participate in the
American Scientific congress, and Sec
rotary Root has chosen representative
American scientists and college men to
serve as delegates. California will be
represented by Professor Bernard Moses
of the University of California. The
congress will meet at Santiago in De-
cember. Much good will result from
the congress, st which a definite report
OF scientinc achievement in North and
South America will be prepared, and
the world will gain some idea of the
extent of its obligation 10 the western
hemisphere. IN the republican half of
the globe science has nourished TO an
extent unparalleled in the history of
monarchical nations, and the most pro-
gressive scientific country in Europe is
the republic Of France. Therefore, it is
fair TO infer that republican form of
government helps scientific thought.
The minds of the thinkers of the west
orn hemisphere are not hampered, en-
barrassed and restrained by considera-
tons OF church establishments and
hereditary traditions. Freedom of
thought and freedom of speech are of
incalculable benefit to mankind, and the
countries which encourage these are
sure to outstrip those which devote
themselves to adding acre to acre and
dollar to dollar. 1t is well for the
United States that the great scientific
congress will be held in the big polit-
ical year." and soon after election. 1t
will give the people of this and the
other American republics a chance to
realize that a mans life does not con-
sist in the abundance of the things he
thinks he) hath, and that neither does
nations.

BELIEVES THERE IS REMEDY
FOR INDUSTRIAL WRONGS

LOS ANGELES, June 15.-[Editor
Herald)1 / have for some time been
reading your bright and very interest
ing paper every morning and am be-
coming deeply interested in two de-
partments of the paper In particular,
viz: the editorial page, so ably con-
Quoted and liberal in the opinions ex-
pressed, and also in the parts devoted
to the published opinions OF your cor
respondents who from time to time
give their views on matters that are
or should be of great interest to the
public. While I have no desire to
open a controversy with any person,
what I read in those letters and some
of your editorials create in me desire
to give my impression Of some of the
opinions expressed. In the editorials
note something like this: "God
Knows" This, I believe, originated
with a great man (great In various
ways). I should like to speak of him
some time in the future. Sew
eral writers have taken one view of the
situation and present that as solu-
ton of the whole difficulty and one
has written that he does not believe a
remedy for existing evils has yet been
thought out. All wrong. I believe
that the cause of all political and in
dustrial evils must be apparent to the
thoughtful and intelligent people of
all classes, and Furthermore. I be-
1ieve that individuals have thought out
reform measures that If faithfully fol-
lowed would bring about more desir-
able conditions, especially in the mat
ter of municipal and state government.

A GHOSTLY ENVOY

NM are startled to see by con-
w temporary newspaper that the
English ambassador is attend

must be somewhat moldy and slightly
passe, because it is two centuries since
the last English ambassador was ap-
pointed. He must have held office for
long time. This doesn't look right
1t is crooked on the face of it and he
should be Lexowed. The Bible says
that three score years and ten consti-
tute a good enough allowance of life
for anybody, and why any human be-
ing. even such distinguished person.
age as an English ambassador may be,
should be allowed to hog so many
changeful years we cannot understand.
In addition to the long lived English
ambassador, whose name we cannot
recall, the convention is being attended
by Americas greatest and truest friend
and adviser that distinguished Scotch
Irishman and splendid Celt. James
Bryce formerly member of parliament
for Aberdeen, Scotland, now arhbassa-
dor from Great Britain; author of "The
American Commonwealth" the only
standard book on the United States
which has ever been written by any
body. 1t is natural that this great
student of Americanism and constant
friend of the United States should be
present at political convention of one
of the leading parties of his favorite
country. But we don't know anything
about the English ambassador. He
must he a freak
