INFANT MILLIONAIRE

N INFANT named John Nicholas
~ Brown is worth s40,000,000. That
may not be his value. He may
be worth a great deal more or a great
deal less. But that is the sum of
money he controls. 1t may be thought
with SO much money his opportunities
will be unlimited. On the contrary
they will be unusually limited. Unless
he should lose this money he never will
have a chance of knowing the world as
1t really is, and all the terms used to
describe social conditions will be
Greek to him.
The man who is doomed never to
know what 1t means to have to work
for a living, the man who cannot real
lie what Poverty means, what hardship
means, what starvation means. is a
poor, restricted being, whose judgment
on social and political matters is
worthless, whose opinions are valueless,
whose place in the world is of minor
importance.
Any little boy or girl who leads a
natural life, learns the lesson of doing
without this or that. and is taught by
experience to appreciate the relation
ships of the individuals in the mass of
humanity. is much better off in all that
counts and lasts than is John Nicholas
Brown with his $40,000,O0O.
At the same time we would be open
to the accusation of being deficient in
common sense If we did not admit there
is social, logical as well as sociologi-
cal incongruity In the fact that one
American child should have SAC, ,000, ,000,
while two million American children
are so poor they have had to leave
school and go to work In mines, mills.
factories and foundries. The wrong
exists, not in the fact that the Brown
boy is rich, because no reasonable
being can object to the enjoyment of
property by the owner of property, and
we do not believe in limiting riches.
We do not care how rich a man be-
comes. If it would do him any good
we would wish him to be worth mill
lion a minute. and 1t would never Jar
us and we would never question his
right to be rich. But here's the point:
1t Is certainly not right that, in coun-
try which is so rich that baby may be
possessed Of $40.0OO.O0O. thousands upon
thousands Of poor people should be de-
prived Of the commonest necessaries OF
life. and millions should have a terrible
1 struggle FOR bread and butter.

PROTECTED THIEVES

A FTER the great Homestead strike,
N which supplied most telling
IA corollary to the propositions or
the Republican platform in 1892, Ben
ianin Harrison In his letter of ac-
ceptance wrote: 'T regret that all en-
ployers of labor are not just and con-
siderate, and that capital sometimes
takes too large a share of the pronts'
Mr.. Bryan, commenting on MIR. Harri-
sons admission, says: "The protected
manufacturers have secured, In many
cases, a tariff of more than twice the
percentage paid to workmen In wages.
The net PROFITS Of the steel trust
last year were EQUAL TO THE EN-
TIRE AMOUNT PAID IN WAGES,
and the wages constituted LESS THAN
25 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL
VALUE OF THE PRODUCT. So each
workingman employed by the steel
trust earned on an average not only
the amount paid to him, but 100 per
cent profit besides for his employer.
And 1 may add, while these bene-
flciaries of protection have been pre-
tending to make tariff laws for the
direct benefit Of the employees, these
same employees have, as a rule been
kept close to the hunger line, while
many of the employers have become
the possessors of the swollen fortunes
which now menace the nations morals
as well as it's business" In even palmer
English, employees have been exploited
as never before in the history Of the
United States, because never before
have unscrupulous money hogs been
allowed, with the aid, countenance,
comfort and support of a great civilized
government, to exercise their natural
proclivities for spelling their fellow
citizens and beggaring their neighbor.

MERclLEss RULE OF POLITICAL
MACHINE CURSE OF STATES

LONG BEACH, Aug. 21.-[Editor
Heraldl: The writer of this letter
lived in Colorado both before and af-
ter the adoption of political equality
in that state. Therefore, he rises to
remark to w. B. that bad as is the po-
litical condition there it was not made
worse by giving suffrage to the wo-
men. Two years ago. just before leav-
ing for California, l learned, from good
authority, that the women cast 40 per
cent of the total vote at the preceding
election.
The political trouble in Colorado is
the same as here--the merciless rule of
political machines working for the su-
premacy of the corporations and
trusts. Through the instrumentality
of these machines fake Australian ball
lot laws have been enacted which pre-
vent the possibility of bringing out
independents against unpopular candi-
dates as was frequently done in the
olden times. Thus, metaphorically
speaking, the people are bound hand
and foot.
1t is useless labor to quote scripture
for the purpose of trying to stop the
movement for enlarging the liberty of
mankind. Since the great charter of
England was wrested from King John,
693 years ago, there has been through
out the civilized world continual en-
largement of the class which is al
lowed to directly participate in govern
ment and this great enfranchising
movement which has put the present
civilization so far above that of scrip
tural times that it will not lose Its
momentum until woman has been
granted political equality and the
rights of both sexes, in this respect,
safeguarded. FELIX T. CANDY.

FINDS w. BIS ARGUMENTS
IRRELEVANT AND ABSURD

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-TEditor
Herald: The Herald's post box dis
cussion of woman suffrage has shown
the anti-suffragist position to be
logically and ethically untenable; was
1t necessary or advisable for Nv. b.
to step in and render 1t ridiculous also?
His absurd dragging in of Genesis
and "St. Paul" is about as relevant as
his pretense of knowledge based on q
former residence in Colorado. OD-
serve the gentleman's logicl He says
OF Colorado, where woman is permitted
to vote: "In the last ten years not a
fair election has been held" Can I'M
piled argument against votes for wo-
men.) But he gives away his own
limited accusation directly afterWard by
admitting that this is because woman,
does not take advantage of her privi-
lege-"the election is no place for de-
cent women" Now 1t would be good
to know just where "W. B." would be
at. Is it because woman does vote In
Colorado that elections there are cor
rupt +? Or is 1t because woman has not
succeeded in breaking the non-voting
habit? You can't have 1t both ways,
w. B. Your own admission seems to
be that the men have degraded the
elections to where decent" women
cannot attend. What a humiliating ad-
missionl
have just been reading in London
paper an article by an Australian who
says: "It is now many years since
South Australia gave the vote 10 all
women over 21. and her vote mas peen
a splendid help to democratic prog
ress." IA WOMAN WHO WOULD"

THICK SKULL

n UTNAM'S and The Reader
ends remarkable critical
notice of "The Servant in the
House, with the statement: ''The par
son and his wife did we'll in taking the
drunken drain digger's daughter and
bringing her up in ignorance of her
worthless father. When the drain Dig
ger came to his senses and turned over
a new leaf they were glad to take him
by the hand. What more could they
do? He had deserted his child and had
outraged all decency. and yet in the
end he was forgiven. That is all
right, and 1 have no doubt that
eventually he became useful citizen;
but, until he did, see no reason why
he should be made a family pet"
Many of our readers have seen this
remarkable play, and understood it
Alright. Those who have not seen 1t
will learn with relish that the uncon-
scious humorist who thus gravely crit
icises it is taking a superficial and OBJ
iective view of an aliegory. He has
not been able to see below the sur
face. He has not been able to read
between the lines. His comments are

CALIFORNIA SHOULD ADOPT
OKLAHOMA BANKING LAW

VENTURA, Aug. 22.-IEditor Her
add: Why not try to do something
in this election? Oklahoma has a
banking law guaranteeing all deposits
in banks. The law has proved q COM
plete success. Every depositor gets all
his money within three days after
bank failure in that state. Why not
have a similar law in California?
1t is a question on which we can
act Independently. We have only to
control our own legislature to secure
1t. That can be done by voting for no
legislative candidate who will not
pledge himself to use his best endeavor
to enact such a law. Every Demo-
cratic candidate ought be willing to do
so, because 1t is directly in accord with
his national platform. If Republicans
will not they will doubtless be defeated.
In this county (Ventura) there are
many hundreds of voters who within
the last ten months have lost heavily
for the lack of such a law, and one of
our banks in which we had the utmost
confidence went down for want of it,
because, operating under such law, all
other banks would naturally have stood
by 1t and helped it out of its difficult
ties, for they would have been directly
interested in doing so.
With such law there would be no
lack of confidence in any bank operat-
ing under it; no boarding of money
from it, no runs ON it. Consequently
no closing of such banks and no money
stringency in California or any other
state having such law. For these 'rea-
sons this plank in Bryan's platform is
worth more than all the Republican
party platform contains.
1t is for you who have suffered SO
severely during the last ten months to
determine and act Immediately to Sc
cure this remedy. Then you will ac-
complish much in this election, no
matter who may be elected president.
