THERE SHOULD BE A GREATER
INTEREST TAKEN IN CHILDREN

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31.-IEditor
Herald: Val Stones letter in the is
sue of October % contains what many
of us want to hear said. IL we, as a
people, are so heartless and short
sighted we care not for the grievances
of others, then at least, as a part OF
our selfishness, we should care for our
own good name in history.
Recent Investigations in Chicago,
conducted by superintendent Bodine of
the compulsory education department,
showed 5000 school children in that city
are habitually hungry, and 10000 more
are underfed. Wonder If we all real
lie what this means!
Hunger and innutrition for a growing
child means poor developments. 1t
means nervousness and ricketts, and in
sanity; it means abnormality and
crime. 1t means the awful marks OF
the degenerate.
And while this is going on, not alone
in Chicago, but to a greater or less
extent in every city in the land, Chi
cago itself is quibbling over the legal
status of the case and questioning
whether it would be legal for the city
to feed children. They have free
schools, paid for by the people who
workout food? Well the lawyers
aren't sure. And they're so anxious TO
be right, you know, they let the social
crime of starving, helpless little ones
go on.
Outside of Chicago we wear Phari-
saical smile and talk about the fleet or
about who'll own the Balkan states
that affair in Chicago Is remote.
And the future historian VIII record
all this. A. H. u

SCOTS AT REFoRMERs WHO
SEEK COMPROMISE WITH SIN

LOS ANGELES, Oct. S1.-LEditor
Herald: There is a woeful lack of in
telligence manifested in the considera-
ton Of social questions and the result
ant conclusions. Fancy anyone advo-
eating a limited territory for the ex-
ploitation of robbery, wherein burglars
and pickpockets might operate under
sufferance of the law, because, for
sooth, stealing cannot be suppressed
Such a proposition would be on a par
with that advocating the segregation
of prostitution.
Evil practices cannot be stopped by
civil law, but when gratitied should
incur punishment. Sin is as much an
evil in one place as another. vice,
like disease, should be quarantined for
the purpose of determination. not al
lowed liberty for its indulgence.
The laxity of our divorce laws ana
the facility with which lust may be
INDUCED cause the marriage relation
to be little sought and its obligations
a matter of indifference. Sin and dis
ease are synonymous, and must pc
fought persistently, not with the idea
of their limitation, but of utter elm
nation.
Who dares say that salvation from
all sin is impossible denies the ON
impotence of God-good.
G.. N, B. advocates "curbing and re-
straining" through a careful investt-
cation by intelligent men and women.
How much curbing, and at what point
would he arrest the restraining
process? Can any decent person i'm
agine a body of refined, clean-minded
women meeting to discuss methods OF
limiting the practice of prostitution?
And on what neighborhood this tester
ing ulcer should be foisted, wherein
Justice to those owning property or
raising families might be dispensed?
Houses of prostitution are not per-
mitted in New York or London, and
why should we permit them to exist
here? Let US have for our motto mo
compromise with evil" X. N.

BANK GUARANTY

~ ANK deposits guaranty will be
* the first fruits of Democratic
~ victory. For the first time in the
history of our nation the Democratic
party will make it possible for every
responsible citizen to go TO bed every
night in the year without any worry
over his savings or deposits to disturb
his slumbers. He will know that under
Democratic protection, which has moth
ing to do with robber tariffs, but every
thing to do with the production Of the
greatest good for the greatest number,
his savings will not be swept away by
a financial panic.
Government guaranty will make
every individual deposit as safe as a
national bank note. 1t will diminish
enormously unnecessary fright in times
of financial stringency. and its effect
in preventing panic will be beyond
calculation. This is only one of the
genuine reforms which will be assured
by the election of Bryan and Kern.
In spite of the fact that no argument
not based on self interest can be
brought against this form of insurance,
the Republicans are opposed to it.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT is A CASE OF SOUR
GRAPES.
If the Republicans had not been so
intent on producing a program of leg
islation which would help the trusts

GHOST DANCERS

II UILDING activity in Los Angeles
X is on the jump. In fact, it might
~ almost be called phenomenal. Are
we to believe Republican calamity
croakers who gravely tell us prosperity
would be checked and building activity
suspended by national Democratic sue
cess? What unutterable, what execra-
BILE bosh and nonsense. Yet Republic
can howlers and ghost dancers would
fain have us believe this rubbish.
Republican leaders and newspaper
writers act and talk exactly as If this
were a nation of greenhorns. This will
be a bigger, better and buster city than
ever If the Democrats are returned to
power, and are allowed to carry out
their intention of fortifying San Pedro
harbor adequately, and making Los
Angeles as unassailable and as safe as
Gibraltar.

TARIFF INJUSTICE.

A PROMINENT MERCHANT of Los
N Angeles has sent The Herald a
IA letter in which he says; Some
twenty years ago I bought at Bor-
deaux, France, a Singer sewing ma
chine for 1875 francs. The Hurtu &
Hautin french machine was SELL
ing at 14o francs. Later I bought at
Los Angeles a Singer machine for SOS.
One month ago at Bordeaux 1 priced
Singer machine at the branch house of
the New York manufacturers. 1t cost
200 francs. Notice that since the Hurtu
G. Hautin people could not meet the
American competition they had to quit
and the Singer machine went up to 200
francs. Can you explain the reason
why I have to pay $65 here for the
same machine that a Frenchman can
buy in France for less than $4o?"
Yes, we can explain the reason why.
The plain and shameful truth is that
various highly protected industries in
the United States took advantage of
the tariff, and instead of paying higher
wages to their workmen reduced the
wages and at the same time increased
the prices of their goods to American
consumers.
When they sought foreign markets
and had to compete in the fair field of
open trade they reduced their prices to
figures which represent the value of the
article plus legitimate profit, and not
the value of the article plus the amount
of duty that would be charged If it
were imported, and plus as much more
as the salesman thinks the dear public
will stand. We have from time to time
in these columns used the expression
tariff robbery" and we have made it
plain that there are circumstances
under which the operation of high
tariff enables chevaliers Of protected in
dustries to exact more than they earn,
and far more than their goods are
really worth. In plain English, it is a
holdup game, and YOU, MR.. VOTER,
have it in your power to help put an
end to this disgraceful holdup business
in the United States by voting for
Bryan and Kern.

END THIS ROBBERY

TT IS high time we were doing some
thing to put an end to the I'M
Il American practice of granting
special privileges through a system of
tariff taxation. A vote for Taft and
Sherman will be vote to perpetuate
this Ubiquitous system and help pre-
pare the way for more special privi-
leges, more exactions, more commercial
and financial tyrannies.
A vote for Bryan and Kern will be
vote to do away with a legislative
program which Is chiefly concerned
with the demands of the privileged
class and to substitute for it one which
is chiefly concerned with the welfare
and prosperity Of the people of the
United States.
The people themselves must answer
the question, Shall the people rule? or
shall the Trusts rule? 1t is terrible
to think what would be the logical and
inevitable outcome of a long protracted
reign of Republican oppression. The
system of Republican high tariff tax
alton has distorted the functions Of a
free government into tools Of greed
and vehicles of tyranny. Under the
guise OF protection to American indus
try, pretending to be friend of Ameri-
can labor, the protective tariff operates
as a cloak for cunning, shield for
monopoly, a tax upon industry, and, to
quote the eloquent words of Congress-
man Adair of Indiana, FINALLY, in its
last analysis. it is a graft and a false
pretense, conceived in greed and
brought forth. in avarice."

Above every consideration in this
campaign is the great question, "Shall
the people ruler" BY voting for Bryan
and Kern you will answer this question
in the affirmative. The first result of
the rule of the people will be the rig
orous and vigorous enforcement of a
national anti-child-labor law. The
result of this will be to provide employ
ment for at least a quarter of a million
adults, and will assure the education of
two million boys and girls who are at
present being deprived of school train
ing in order to furnish cheap labor to
the Republican trusts.

One of the most amusing campaign
lies ever circulated is that which ap-
peared in an exclusive dispatch to our
Republican contemporary. 1t stated
gravely that real estate contracts in
various parts of the country contained
provisions multiplying them If Bryan is
elected president. We cannot believe
even the most ardent Republican could
be crazy enough to cut off his nose in
order to spite his face.
