The Court House Knocked Out.

Under the above caption, the Gram
don Republican says: 1.-The new coun-
ty board met Thursday and their first
act was to kill the resolution providing
for the sale of bonds and building of a
court house. Every member voted for
its repeal.
''The proposition is now fiat, -altho'
certain members of the board say is is
only short time until it will be taken
up again.
1T is not necessary to go into details
in this matter, as the circumstance are
we'll known However, the new build
ing is as much needed as ever, and we
believe that the board and others who
have held the high cards will wish it
had been built this year. The most de
plorable part of the whole affair is tive
fact that the people of Crandon are to
blame for much of it's failure.

aged %, married and father OF
an infant, lies dead here as the
result of being struck in the
head by an~ax in the hand, it is
alleged, of Fred Nepther, 18,
with whom he had been quarrel
ing. The strange circumstance
in connection with the murder
lies in the fact that the man liv-
ed nearly day, during three
hours of which he carried the
axe in his skull. 1t took the
combined efforts of two men to
remove the weapon.
Applebee, with an older broth
er and man whose name is not
obtainable, were returning from
their work on the county road
between Armstrong Greek aud
'Laona.~ An argument was start
ed, which later was joined ia by
'Nepther. eliminating in Nepther
swinging the axe above his head

UNFAIR

~ REATEST care should be taken by
HT reformers in stamping out one
N evil not to substitute another, or
to use means which might justly be
described as irregular and as causing
hardship.
We must confess there appears on
the face of It to be some foundation
for the contention of the persons who
call themselves seers and clairvoyants
that they should not be forbidden to
advertise their business, which is Ii
censed by the city, and therefore sane
toned by the city.
hen any calling is placed on the
city tax list it is thereby licensed in
every sense of the word-licensed to do
business-and to license a man to do
business, take his money in payment
for license to do business. and then
proceed to interfere with his licensed
business, boycott it in the newspapers
and try to wipe it out. seems too like
obtaining money upon incorrect pre-
lenses to suit the consciences Of people
who believe in square deal for every
body. II the fortune tellers and alleged
seers are to be suppressed, their
licenses should be revoked and their
money refunded. To issue a license
and then take measures to make the
license worthless gives the occult prac-
titioners cause for grievance against
the city.

WOULD CENTER ALL THOUGHT
ON PEACE RATHER THAN WAR

Los ANGELES, Dec. 22-[Editor
Herald: Mr.. Claiming Severance,
who for more than twenty years l
have regarded as one of the world S
clearest and ablest thinkers, certainly
strikes keynote in a communication
Of his which appeared in The Herald
this morning, wherein he said: IF
thought is the greatest force in the
world, why not direct it toward peace
among all mankind, instead of fondling
and fostering the idea that war is
necessary and inevitable at times?"
Mr.. Severance is eminently correct.
AS an illustration, look at the late war
scare with Japan. The "jingoes" of
both America and Japan thought war
and acted war as far as they dared.
Their war thoughts were reflected in
the minds of others, who also began to
think war. The agitation increased un-
til it began to find expression in the
newspapers by numerous articles and
cartoons. Next it found further ex
preston in numerous outbreaks-actual
physical clashes-between small an
tagonistic parties of the white and yell
low races-little wars in themselves, in
which blood was shed and lives We're
lost.
1t was only few steps further to the
still I,rger battles and big war. Then
came the thought of peace, entertained
by the stronger men of both nations,
and fortunately, being the stronger
thought this time, it prevailed, and the
war cloud dissolved before the sunshine
of. greater national love. This is GER
tainly strong evidence that thought is
the greatest force in the world'-the
political world. at least-and, If in the
political world, then in all other
worlds" for nature never contradicts
herself. ASBURY CECIL.

LAWS HITHERTO FRAMED IN
INTEREST OF EXPLOITATION

Los ANGELES. Dec. 21.-[Editor
Heraldl Mr.. Cuthbertson says pow
erty exists solely because of one thing
the fact that people do not know how
to get out of it, which is quite obvl-
Gus, and that only two ways have been
suggested to abolish it-one by abol-
ishing laws and the other by passing
more laws. Personally he is in favor
of the abolishment of laws.
If he means by this the abolishing of
those laws which enable a few to ac-
quire possession of all our natural re-
sources and all the machinery of pro-
duction and distribution, thus enabling
them to rob the "dear people, in q
way that puts to shame the worst
pirates that ever sailed the Spanish
main, then, indeed, l can agree with
him perfectly.
We are now living under what is
called the capitalist or profit system.
All industry is carried on for the sole
purpose of making the greatest possi-
bic profit for those who hire with the
least possible regard for the welfare of
those who are hired. Those who do
the work of the world receive in wages
only enough to buy back one-fifth of
the products of their own toll.
Practically all the laws on our statute
books were passed in the interest OF
the exploiting class, to legalize an un-
just industrial system and enable the
masters to wiring ever greater profits
from those whom they have enslaved
through their ownership of all the
means by which the people must live.
The welfare of the working class GER
tainly demands the abolshment of such
laws and the substitution of such 9TH
ers as may be necessary to make it
impossible for one man to make Il
profit off the labor of another Through
the private ownership of the means
of production, or for a group of men to
dictate to all the rest of us how much
we shall pay in order to buy back
the products of our own toll.
The industrial problem is without
question the greatest one before the
people of this country today, but 1t
seems equally absurd to try to solve 1t
either by passing more laws in an at
tempt to justify our present unjust
methods of production and distribution
or by abolishing all law, as advocated
by some. Why not be sensible and
change the system, which is at the
root of the whole difficulty?

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

NAN PEDRO should be receiving the
products of Hawaii and forward
~ ing them to Los Angeles, accord
ing to w. NJ. Langton, who in pub
lished interview is reported to have
said also:
with the increased production of
sugar a large plant for refining 1t in
San Pedro or in Los Angeles would
be a very profitable venture. The i'm
mense reduction plant at San Fran
cisco has frequently more sugar than
1t can handle"
Here, then, is an easy and obvious
field for industrial investment in Los
Angeles. The establishment of sugar
refineries at San Pedro would be a
useful and profitable enterprise.
There is no reason why a fortune
should not be made in the sugar in
dustry in this section of the country.
To the first investor or company Of
investors will belong the spoils,' and
there is no reason why local capitalists
should wait until the subject has been
discussed far and near and the sugar
trust gets wind of the opportunity and
gobbles it up.
MIR. Langton charges Southern Cali
fornia with Indifference to the Hawa-
iian trade-indifferenc which, accord
ing to his figures, is costing this COM
munity pretty penny. Last year, he
says, the value of dairy products i'm
ported by Hawaii amounted to more
than $4,000 of which Los Angeles
received not one cent, simply because
Los Angeles merchants evidently did
not think it worth while to compete
with those of San Francisco.
The northern men, who had no COM
petition and could therefore do what
ever seemed good in their own eyes,
shipped stock (which frequently was
far from the best, receiving, however,
the best prices"
And worse remains behind. The
ranchmen of Southern California
missed big opportunity. "The islands
imported nearly $25O,O0O worth of po-
tatoes, onions, beans and other vege-
tables and none came from Southern
California, unless by roundabout and
indirect route. A New York represen-
tative of an olive factory sold Homo
lulu merchants $4,000 worth of olives
in one day. These were shipped all
the way round the Horn, although
perhaps Gndeed probably they were
grown within a radius of a few hun
dred miles of Los Angeles" We hope
the chamber of commerce will prepare
guide book to Hawaiian trade. Many
of our producers are missing this op-
portunty, not because they lack enter
prise, but because they lack reliable
and definite information.

GOOD ROADS

4 GOOD ROADS specialist has been
sent to California by the depart
-AA ment of agriculture with instruc-
tions to advise and cooperate with
the people of the southern portion OF
this state in the work of making a
system of good roads. The Herald has
been and is a. strenuous advocate of
good roads because we realize that
when the roads in any section of coun-
try are good population is sure to be
Increased rapidly and industrial and
manufacturing interests are benefited.
The expert Of the good roads depart
ment Of the department of agriculture
at Washington viii make a thorough
investigation of road conditions
throughout Southern California. He
will test soils, obtain data as to cli-
matte conditions and devote consider
able attention to the labor problem.
He will work in conjunction with good
roads enthusiasts and with county Of
fcials.
citizens should be gratiied by this
new evidence of the fact that Wash
ington infAnds to devote some time
and attention TO the development OF
Southern California. The federal gov
ernment realizes the strategic as well
as the Industrial Importance of this
state with its great coast line, and we
believe in the next few years much
attention will be devoted to harbor de-
xelopment and protection by adequate
fortihcation. With a system of good
roads, with excellent harbors, chief
among them the port Of San Pedro,
and with railroad rates regulated in a
manner consistent with reason and
decency, Southern California will make
more rapid progress in the future than
even in the memorable marvellous past.

ENsLAVEMENT OF WOMAN THE
KEY TO ALL MANS TROUBLE

SAN JOSE, Dec. I'll Editor. Herald
Marion Martin, in Sundays issue,
saws: 'Women are looking more un-
der the surface today than ever be-
fore" If they could only look deep
enough they would find that al our
troubles are due, indirectly, to the en-
slaVement of woman.
Rv the substitution of authority Tor
reason in the home man destroys not
only his own reasoning power, but that
of his wife and children. Reason per-
ishes from disuse, in the very place
where it should be developed.
AS mans reason diminishes and his
authority increases he becomes more
and more a believer in the pernlcious
theory of paternalism-that men nave
to be governed. From the use OF
power he becomes a worshlper OF pow
or and money for the power it gives.
Nature revolts and destroys the good
in him.
The complete emancipation of wom-
an would change all this by forcing
man to use, and thus develop, MS
reason. In my opinion, this emanci-
patton could best be accomplished
through the organization of a woman 5
union, statewide in Its scope, and en-
bracing, figuratively speaking as
MANY male members as could be in
duced to join.
The woman who has the courage
and ability to emancipate her sex can
render a greater service TO humanity
than any person of whom history fur
njshes a record, not even excepting
Jesus Christ.
AS the reasoning power of woman Is
but little greater than that OF man to-
day, there is danger that she would II
given the ballot, become, like the ne
gro. an asset of the political party that
