GAMBLING

TN California race track gambling
is denounced by the Democratic
Il party, which placed itself on rec
ord as being squarely opposed to it..
On the other hand, the Republican
party has lodged the issue. Here is a
characteristic contrast between the two
parties which through their candidates
are making thei~ appeal to the people
for Ipport. Gambling is one of the
WORT evils which can possibly afflict
or Feet a community. 1t is a menace
to the home, a destroyer Of happiness,
a wrecker of lives.
The Democratic party realized that
it's 1uty to the public called for a dec
laration of it's attitude with regard to
this great evil, and its hostil to it
is clearly expressed d is well known.
Preferring the inte' It's to which it
toadies to the principles which govern
life or conduct, the ra1lroad-owned, ma
chine-ruled Republican party refuses
to defend the people of the state of
California from the attack of this dia-
bolical enemy of mankind, the gamb-
ling evil; refuses to shield or protect
the home or the family.

INFAMOUS

7" HEN Republican speakers find
w themselves destitute of reason
W able criticisms of the guaranty
of bank deposits proposed by the Dem
ocratic party in order to increase busi-
ness stability. they call it a premium
on dishonesty! What we cannot under
stand is the Republican prejudice
against bankers. We believe in their
honesty, their high moral principles.
their integrity and their ability. Ac-
cording to the Republicans. they are
the most untrustworthy class in the
community!
The Republican attack on the bankers
is as foolish as 1t is Infamous and 1t
is sign of resourceless, bewildered
desperation. Not day passes in which
some Republican speaker, or manager
or newspaper editor does not slandeT
the bankers. If the bankers took II
seriously they might resent 1t, but they
know it is only Republican campaign
chitter chatter and balderdash, and that
no we'll constructed citizen will be-
lieve 1t.
In plain English, Republicans are in
sinuating that If bank deposits were
guaranteed, bankers would misuse
them or abscond with them. The sug-
gestion is monstrous.

to see and hear Hearst & PadeauVarls
True, some persons might make tho
objection that the doodle dee and the
dynamiter say the same things, but IT
does not necessarily follow that their
entertainment would be monotonous.
They could easily overcome such a dis
advantage by, expressing their opinions
in chorous. Padeauvaris, writing from
Marseilles refers to Francis ]. Heney
as an imported special reformer;" to
William ]. Burns as special imported
detective" to both as squanderers of
the peoples money, and to Rudolph
Spreckels as a dictator. Hearst has
said this and more. Therefore. he and
Padeauvaris might well lift their voices
together in one long plant and let 1t
go at that. Hearst, the soprano, and
Padeauvaris, the bassl What an at

would be willing to give them a week.
Yet, alas, Padeauvaris Is not coming

IN THE DARK

G TAR CHAMBER Investigations are
n always suspicious, and when prac-
~ ticed by bodies like the police
commission might almost be called cir
cumstantial evidence of the existence
of testimony which offlcialdom wishes
to withhold from the public. Now when
officialdom wishes to conceal testimony
1t is fair to assume the motive is self
defense. There is something in that
testimony which might possibly bring
oficialdom into disrepute or make
and file or higher up. 1t is because
they breed suspicious and accomplish
no good purpose that the public does
not take kindly to star chamber pro-
ceedings.
When secrecy Is used for the purpose
of whitewashing some black sheep there
is cause for public Indignation as well
as criticism. In one notorious instance
a police investigation proved to be a
sheer farce. 1t had the result of daub-
ing a coat of whitewash over one officer
whose offense had been SO fragrant
that his superior, after reproving him
publicly, snatched his star from him
and suspended him on, the spot. The
action of this superior officer, a lieu
tenant, was sustained by the captain.
Yet the offender, who had publicly
beaten into insensibility a fellow officer,
was treated with extreme consideration
and rewarded instead of punished, be-
cause two weeks vacation on full pay
cannot be considered equivalent to a
punishment.

q INCE William r. Hearst learned at
the Central theater meeting what
~ the people of san Francisco really
think of him and his methods, he has
taken a new ally in his fight against
the graft prosecution. Now when he
tires of reading letters from John d.
Archboid commencing grafters and
higher-ups and denouncing public bene-
factors, he can read letters from Felix

l.. Gallagher, boldly writes to the Ex-
aminer. He looks upon Hearst as his
friend, and knows that the Examiner
does not want him returned to San
Francisco to trial. He volunteers his
services in behalf of his fellow servant
in the cause Of the higher-ups and
Hearst eagerly accepts his services.
OF course, Padeauvaris is not in Mar
settles, the city at which his letter was
postmarked. His correspondence with
Hearst is being carried on through the
literary bureau of the higher-ups. Abe
Ruef is at the head of the bureau, and
keeps in touch with Padeauvaris. He
sends the letters of Felix to a man in
Marseilles, and a man in Marseilles
mails the letters to the Examiner.
What Felix thinks; Abe thinks, and
what they both think Is put into type

Silly SUGGESTS THERE ARE
TWO SCHOOLS OF LOGIC

LOS ANGELES, Oct 20.-[Editor
Herald: There are, seemingly, two
schools of "Iogic," Mr. Editor. I am
content to leave readers to judge the
merits of that kind which permits one
disuutant to take somthing he himself
has said. mix it with something his OPP
ponent has said, and quote. and per-
sist in quoting 1t as the ipse dixit Of
that opponent.
There is a point. however, aside from
the main controversy (Which may be
considered closed) that 1 would like
TO clear up; 1t may may be account
able for the verbal liberty Mr.. Sprading
allowed himself n regard to that quo
tation." / gather now that that gem
tleman took the passage concerned as

and relation to hfs harmonious rela-
tionship" passage; whereas. in fact
1t had not. When said: Mr.. Sprad-

A S WE have heretofore said, there

of the organization of a body
known as the Associated Chambers of
Commerce of the Pacific Coast. This
is first and possibly the most important
fruit from the Transmississippi con-
gress. says the Sacramento Union.
Our accounts of the conferences be-
tween the members of commercial
bodies from Seattle to San Diego show
that there was complete harmony
marked by rare enthusiasm. There
was not the slightest pickering jeal-
ousy or animosity during any of the
conferences. The broad gauged business
men of the many port cities represent
ed concluded without difficulty that
there is strength In union, and that
we may yet be able to set a pace that
will be an object lesson to the entire
country.

thorough discussion of every question

GOD SAVE THE KING

II ING EDWARD is the Wall street
~ ally of Hartman. This news will
Ia cause considerable apprehension
among King Neds friends in the
United ltes. 1t means tn Harri-
man has persuaded His Majesty to sit
in at the game with him. When any
body sits in at the game with E. H.,
whether he is king or commoner makes
no difference to the railroad emperor.
Why Hartman should be piling Ossa
on Pelion in the most gigantically am
bilious project for accumulation the
world has ever known cannot be
guessed unless he has maT a private
arrangement an indefinite extern
sio.. of his life. l1e acts exactly as If
he expected to Ii forever.
But the question before US is, What
will happen to the king? For no man
who plays the game with Hartman
may hope to escape scatheless. King
Edwards throne is certainly in peril
at last. Hartman will win 1t from
under him and will ship it to New
York, where he will use it for an office
chair. He will also win the scepter,
which will make a snowy walking
stick. We cannot guess to what use
he will put the crown when it comes
into his possession.
Even a good American, when he
hears of the alliance OF Ned and Ed
may without sacrifice of patriotism
utter the heartfelt wish, God save the
kinpp
