CHURCH CONGRESS

A GUILELESS writer who makes the
u statement that the American,
IA Scottish, Irish and Colonial COM
munions of the Protestant Episcopal
faith will be represented at the pan
Anglican congress" Is an unconscious
humorist. In the same breath he ut
ters two contradictory statements. 1t
is absurd that all the different nation
alities which have Episcopal churches
should be members Of q pan-Anglican
congress. A pan-Episcopal congress
will have good results, but pan-An-
glican is a gross error, deliberately
perpetrated. The dictionary definition
of Anglican is "ENGLISH. pertaining
to England" The Anglican communion
is the communion of the Anglican
Episcopal church. Many American
Episcopalians, for accuracy's sake as
we'll as out of respect for the star
spangled banner, would have liked to
see a little broad mindedness on the
part of the English church. 1t would
have been gracious and brotherly to
have established a precedent by calling
the great convention pan-Episcopal. in
stead of ministering to petty English
vanity by calling it, in the fashion of
the Anglican journals. copied by
Americans who ought to know better,
"pan-Anglican"
But perhaps when the congress meets
in the United States we may give an
ecclesiastical Roland for an Oliver by
calling it pan-American.

SAN PEDRO HARBOR

devoted its noon luncheon to review
of the San Pedro harbor question. The
Herald prints a complete report OF the
chronicle of the harbor and the harpor
fight prepared for the club by citizen
who has been actively associated with
the history of the harbor. 1t forms a
record well worth preserving, especially
as recent events and developments have
tended to arouse renewed interest In
the question. The best friends of Los
Angeles of San Pedro and of Southern
California have contended from the
first that the increasing commercial
Importance of San Pedro demanded a
free harbor, thoroughly equipped for
taking care of the immense oriental
traffic as well as the great Atlantic
Pacific carrying trade which will be
developed upon the completion OF the
Panama canal. That corporation In
f1uence should be allowed to embarrass.

THINKABLE, and that interference
should have been attempted and that
attempts should have been persisted
in, even when 1t became apparent that
they constituted a trespass upon pa
triotism and a breach of good faith to
the community, may be regarded as q
damning indictment Of q system which
may make of itself not merely him
drance but a menace to the people
whose franchise 1t enjoys Chat may
be stated as the pessimistic view); or,
if we take the optimistic view. as a
magnificent opportunity for showing
that good citizenship is a persistent
and uncomfortable factor in the public
life of the United States. and for
demonstrating that Americanism, a
recognition of the authority of the
American doctrine of the greatest good
for the greatest number In matters of
harbors and of public utilities as we'll
as of government, may always be de-
pended upon to assert and maintain
the public rights and discover and de-

so THE REPUBLICANS URGE
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY!

Los ANGELES, June 20.--[Editor
Herald: Well, we'll, welli OF all the
unmitigated gall! Listen to this II
you please, from the glowing close OF
the Republican platform, just adopted
in Chicago: Socialism would give to
each an equal right to take. Repubi-
canism would give to each an equal
right to earn. Socialism would oner
an equality of possession which would
soon leave no one anything to possess;
Republicanism would give equality or
opportunity which would assure to each
his share of q constantly increasing
sum of possessions"
l offer a prize of S. to the genius
who can show. in your Public Letter
Box, what the Republican party has
done toward securing equality, of OPP
portunity for the individual. What 1t
has done, through its protective policy
and other artificial arrangements for
securing special privileges to favorites,
is to bring about conditions under
which a man like Weyerhauser owns
100000 acres of land, and the natural
resources of this most fertile country
have passed into the hands of capital
lists, corporations and syndicates.
How can there be equality of op-
portunity while the land-the forests.
the mines, the water rights and powers,
in a word, the great natural tool that
the individual must have access TO be-
fore he can begin to works. In the
possession of the few? How can there
be equality of opportunity while one is
allowed to be born a Vanderbilt and
thousands never have chance of get
ting within sighting distance of work.

expects us to swallow stuff ike TINS?

SHERMAN

n NLY one question has been asked
with regard to the Republican
" candidate for vice president, and
again. It is, "who is sherman7" He
is a gentleman who drifted into the
profession OF politics some twenty
years ago, and in consequence of his
devotion to that calling has had little
experience in active, actual business
life and. is little known outside Of
Washington. He was a member of the
Cannon committee on rules and has the
record of having taken an active part
in burying every act that was sup
posed to embody Roosevelt policies.
We believe Running Mate Sherman
and the Roosevelt Republican
platform will be too strong combi-
nation for Taft. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the Democratic con-
vention should select as candidate for
vice president a clean, upright, inde-
pendent American who cannot by any
possibility or by any stretch of the
imagination be associated with Inter
ests." The Democratic ticket must
represent patriotic political independ-
ence; the Democratic platform, the
principles of Americanism. A combi-
nation of clean. Independent American
candidates and a clean, honest Ameri-
can platform will be irresistible to the
majority of American citizens, and the
success of such a combination at the
polls is assured.

CALLS ATTENTION TO FACT
PEOPLE FORM THE STATE

LOS ANGELES, June 2o,-[Editor
Herald: The communication from A,
d. HI. in this mornings issue Is SO
characteristic of certain type of mind
that cannot forbear a reply. It is a
type that serves as an excellent door
mat for the muddy boots of the high
and mighty, bu. which is exc of little
use in the world 1t is type of mind
always satisfied with things as they
exist; standing always conscientiously
ready to block the wheels Of progress,
type that sentimentalizes but never
reasons.
A. d. H. inquiries "by what authority
should the state be compelled to pay
for the accessories of a child's educa-
tion?" 1t might be well for him to
discover the real identity of the state.
The state Is the people and the state
funds are the peoples. The free edu-
cation of all children is regarded by
thinkers as O. bettersuse to which money
may be put than to line the pockets
of politicians and grafters. When the
state or a majority of its people awaken
to this fact, no other authority VIII
be necessary. Then viii the necessi-
ties Of public school education be as

Yet he has shown. and the World
acknowledges it, that he would have
carried into effect reform policies. and
probably Roosevelt policies" If he
had had the power. The Roosevelt
policies have had a close resemblance
II not indeed a near kinship to what
is labeled by some critics "Bryanism," !"
but is in reality Mr.. Bryan's assertion
OF good. old fashioned Democracy,
which sought to give equal opportuni-
ties to all and to abolish special privi-
leges. The reaetionary platform on
which Judge Taft has been condemned
to run will be his undoing. If the ma
tion approved Americanism in Roose-
velt, it will approve Americanism in
Bryan and will not commit American
interests to party which in Its plat
form has consulted every interest but
Americanism.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
THE HUB

A T THE graduation exercises of the
"a University of Southern California
renewed emphasis was given the
fact that Los Angeles is the educa-
tional as we'll as the literary and art
and musical center of the southwest.
1t would be absurd and unnatural If
the great and marvellous growth of this
city were restricted to materialism and
material interests. A statement made
by The Herald that the higher life was
represented in Los Angeles to such an
extent that this city would undoubted-
ly become the center of culture in the
west aroused the ire of San Francisco
contemporary, which published an ar
ticle which apparently was written out
of the innocence of his heart by some
one who had not visited Los Angeles
for perhaps twenty years. We admit
1t is astounding, and at first hearing
almost incredible, that Los Angeles
should have achieved as much in few
years as other cities have in scores.
But the fact remains. "Seeing's believ-
ing" There is only one, point in re-
gard to which Los Angeles might be
criticised and that is, she does not take
advantage of all her opportunities.
There appears to be lack of q liter
ature or art clearing house. Workers
look for markets in the east. Litera-
ture, art and music in Los Angeles are
really three great industries, without
much organization and with much
energy wasted on account Of lack of
marketing facilities.
California has lost much of the
credit and prestige of having devel-
oped Mark Twain and other famous
authors because those writer's removed
themselves and their wares to the east
There they found distributing facilities
because that is all publication
house represents, when stripped of as
cessories and externa1s. It is a COM
posing room, printing press and bind
cry. plus distributing facilities. and in
order to market it's wares 1t must
have those facilities. A publisher who
issues a book and trusts to luck is like
a newspaper which prints hundreds Of
thousands of copies, but neglects to
provide itself with a circulation man
ager.
California fruits sought and found
eastern markets, but without manage
ment and advertising this could not
have been accomplished. With man
agement and advertising Los Angeles
will soon be able to market her lit
erary and artistic crop.

thorities on these back number prob
lens, but they give us mighty little
help toward solving the present bread
and butter difficulty, and that Is what
men like myself are after.
l have a great deal of time on my
hands just now and have been trying
to use it in getting information on this
all-important question. l have talked
with men who have made study or
these matters and they have given me
the names of leading books. l wanted
to read all about individualism, for l
had run across a great number OF al
mirers of Nietzsche. I found that the
library had only one copy of each Oh
his works, and for three months nave
been unable to get 1t. / wanted to read
Max Stirner's celebrated book, of which
I had seen reviews in first rate maga-
zines, but the library does not possess
a copy
The library is "long" on what the
Indians and all sorts of people who
are dead and gone used to do, but very
"short" on the works that tell US what
we Americans of today are to do.

has no kick that / can think OF; and
still less if his dereliction was delib-

essence of his duty as a member.
Then, let us see If the soldiers case
parallels with this. as Mr.. Clark
claims: He entered the army pledged
TO perform certain military duties;
and to render his case in any way par

TO show that he neglected his duties or
deserted to the enemy, at least tenn
porarily: or in some way assisted some
foreign army with which his own was
not allied. Is 1t charged that he did
any such thing7 No; he had fifteen
year good record as soldier. Unlike
the Socialist, he was punished for
something entirely outside the contract
conditions Of his membership, and out
side the range of his military duties
for holding certain opinions. in fact;

TN A vicious attack on William Jen-

l. paper once known as the New

claimed about" No Democrat needs
take offense at this statement when 1t

ing 1t, has said that Mr.. Roosevelt
has done what Mr.. Bryan would have
done If Mr.. Bryan had had the power.
Mr.. Bryan is truly the "great COM

TEACHERS NOT TO BLAME
FOR SCHOOL SYSTEM

Los ANGELES, June is.--tEditor
Herald, I notice some OF your cor
respondents are having spicy discuss
sion of school matters. / wonder II 1t
Is necessary to speak so harshly OF
those who are doing such a noble
work for the children. Can there not
be an exchange of opinions on matters
of public interest without the use of
unkfnd words? And can we not In
quire into the acts of public servants
without accusing them of crime at the
start?
II the mothers who complain of ex-
tortion would take the trouble to seek
a personal interview with the teach
ers when expenses of this nature be-
come a hardship, l am inclined to think
that matters would be made all right
lin their cases at least. ! am led to
think this way because OF my own ex-
perience during the past twelve years
with teachers in all grades of the pub
lie schools, including the high schools.
I have one boy in the grammar
school at the present time and no fault
to find with the way the teachers per-
form their duties under existing condi-
tions.
Teachers are not to blame If the
public school system of the state Is
defective, any more than the mayor
and city council can be held account
able for the fact that the city of Los
Angeles is doing municipal business
under a most inefficient city charter.
/ think 1t is useless to add amend
ments to 1t. The document should be
put out of existence and replaced with
one that will give the voters a voice
in municipal affairs.
BY the way, your correspondent p.
w. T. need not go out of the United
States in his search for city of free
books and other school supplies
have lived In cities in the United
States where all this matter was free

THE $4,000 CONTEST

NROM beginning to end, great sue
cess attended The Heralds voting
n contest. 1t interested all classes.
AIDS circulation reaches not only the
business houses but the homes of the
community. In view of this character
istic Of its circulation, The Herald made
Its contest especially interesting to
parents and young folks by offering
among its prizes q dozen scholarships
in leading educational Institutions, and
this feature aroused intense enthusi-
asm. There is a keen desire among the
parents and children of Los Angeles to
get ''the best lhat can be had" in edu-
cation, and the best that can be had"
anywhere in the country may be OBJ
tanned in Los Angeles. The Herald ex-
tends hearty congratulations TO all the
young people who are enabled to take
advantage Of it's great educational Of
fer, and returns thanks TO the many
thousands OF readers and friends VINO
took an interest in the competition.
The Herald's place among the leading
morning dailies of the Pacific coast is
well established. It's standing and pres
tige throughout the United States are
evidenced by the fact that it's editorial
matter has been reprinted with credit
in hundreds of newspapers, some of
them published as far east as New
York. Its circulation is increasing con-
stantly, and such a contest as that
which has just been closed serves to
show it numbers its readers not by the
thousand but by the hundred thousand.
