LOS ANGELES. Dec. 9.-[Editor

Claiming that it only referred to the

COMMENTS ON RoosEVELT's
BID FOR AUToCRATlc POWER

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9.-LEditor
Herald: 1 wonder how many or your
readers have taken the trouble to wade
through the presidents last message
and to take notes. have, and it seems
to me the most extraordinary docu-
ment that chief executive ever
penned.
For instance, after girding at Indl-
yiduaIisn as an extinct creed, ana en-
tirely ignoring the fact that IT. Is the
chief function of that creed to demand
equal opportunities for all-Whlch Is ny
no means an extinct idea-the president
calmly states that he favors the exer-
else Of "power, not by judicial but by
executive action, to prevent OF. put a
stop to every form of faVorltlsm or
wrong doing" He then adds, with
even greater GOODNESS, that the dan
ger to American democracy lies not IN
the least in the concentration or admin
istrative power in responsible and ac-
countable hands" =
Who, L ask, has ever been able to
hold Roosevelt to account?
l venture the assertion that not
Kaiser Wilhelm himself ever made
such q bid for the consolidation of Inn
perial control in one pair of hands, ana
/ do not believe it has been possible
for an english statesman since the time
of Charles / even to dream of adVanc-
ing such a claim.
Most assuredly it seems to me that
if the Democratic party has not the
vigor to fight against such deadly auto
cratic pretensions as those which are
now nut forth by the leader of the
Republican machine, it is high time
that another party should jump into
the field. DEMOCRAT.

TEACHERS EXCURSION

A GLANCE at the record shows somu
n readers are working approximately
"A for the success of candidates for
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
excursion, but as yet it is "anybody's
contest" Many of our readers have
children at school and all are interested
in the schools and school teachers OF
Los Angeles, where we have the best
schools in the United States, and of
course the best teachers, for we could
not have the best schools unless we had
the best teachers.
Twelve of the teachers will visit the
Alaska Yukon- Pacific exposition at
Seattle as the guests Of Los Angeles
Herald, but The Herald cannot under
take the task of selecting the lucky
dozen. We must leave that to their
friends. If you, reader, will vote for
the teacher you would like to see
among the twelve we shall be most
happy to enroll that teacher with the
elect, and If she receives enough votes
she will surely visit the exposition. We
are willing to do our part. Now your
part is simpler and easier than ours.
All you are required to do is to vote
and to ask your friends to vote.
The voting conditions are easily filled.
They will be found on another page,
| where there is also a list of those
whose names have been already entered
in the contest, and many particulars
and details with regard to the trip.
On that page, for instance, you will
find that the Alaska YukonPa ex-
position will cost the huge sum of s1O,-
100000. 1t will be the greatest enter
prise of it's nature the west coast has
ever attempted, and will undoubtedly
be successful, for the west coast was
never known to fail in any undertake
ing. It's educational advantages should
appeal to teachers, while too much cam
not be said in praise of this oppor-
tunity for restful recreation. The eli
mate of Seattle is excellent, and the
hotels are first rate. No such oppor-
tunity as this exposition excursion has
ever been offered whereby the teachers
who are among the hardest and most
responsible workers in the nation, can
without cost to themselves, derive
pleasure and benefit, rest and recrea-

which the name of Ruef was connected.
There is in this conviction an an
nouncement to the world that the twi-
light of evil is about to be succeeded
by the dawn of a new day. The north

and has had a surfeit of crime and
crookedness. 1t has found the way Of
the transgressor is hard, and that to
protect transgressors or shelter trans
erosion from punishment will bring
any city into the hard way" There
are many ancient cities whose histories
bear startling resemblance to the his

true that no law is more potent or more
far reaching in it's influence and opera
ton than the law of cause and effect
the rule that similar causes produce
similar effects in all countries, in all
ages of the worlds history subject
only to the variation caused by envi-

CONSIDERS CRIME NATURAL
CONSEQUENCE OF CAPITALISM

SAN JACINTO, Cal, Dec. S.-[Editor
Herald: 1 was not surprised to learn,
through a recent Herald editorial that
crime is on the increase in the United
States, and more especially in Califor-
MIA.
1 was surprised, however, that you
gave neither the reason nor the rem
edy for it.
When life in jail is as agreeable to
a man as life out of Jail, how can you
prevent crime by convicting a man?
When a man becomes so weary Of the
struggle that life holds no charms,
what matters it to him how he gets to
the end of the rope? The only way
to prevent crime is to remove the
cause, and the cause is capitalism.
Crime is increasing in the United
States because capitalism has full sway
here. And crime is decreasing in other
civilized countries because capitalism
in those countries is restrained by
Socialism.
The fact that crime is increasing
most rapidly in California only proves
fornia is the worst corporation-ridden
state in the Union.
Ninety per cent of crime and prosti
tuition, which is only a symptom of
diseased social condition, can justly be
charged to capitalism and a competi-
tive system
The church and Socialism are OPP
posed to each other because the church
is conducted in the interest of. the in
stitution. and Socialism in the interest
of man.
Socialism has no quarrel with any
mans religion. A. FARMER.

"While teams representing the United

ENTIRE ARGUMENT HINGES
UPON RIGHT OF SECESSION

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-[Editor
Herald: I am one vino opposes collec-
tivism and majority rule, and G.
Washington Downs in The Herald of
December states that this is a prepos-
ferrous position. since society must have
some method of deciding differences.
Mr.. Downs fails to distinguish the
difference between majority rule and
majority method. Under majority rule
this fraction of the people assumes to
represent all the people within a given
territory. Sovereignty is exercised al
ways and assumes to represent only
those who voluntarily accept their de-
cision, uninhuenced by force or fraud,
then no fault can be found on the
ground that such a majority is in
Vasive.
The majority method is simply the
majority system stripped of it's power
to rule. The majority and the minor
ity, too, have a right to restrain the
invasive individual. Such restraint is
not rule in the sense that 1 use the
word. Any public meeting may resort
70 the majority method to determine it's
action, as the most practical mode that
can be pursued. The minority is not
ruled. 1t can conform or quit. 1t has
the liberty to organize another associa-
ton to do things as 1t wants.
Not so under Socialism and majority
rule. OF course you can quit the coun-
try or the earth, but no minority will
have the liberty to organize another
system of cooperation, any more than
I now have the liberty to organize
postal system and operate it in compe-
tition with the present one-which 1
dislike. Those of us who despise ma
jority rule will not have even the free
dom to practice the majority method in
managing our affairs.
