TWO SCHOOLS OF SOCIALISM
THAT DIFFER ESSENTIALLY

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.-[Editor
Herald: When G. u. White asks ms
how much freedom Is enjoyed by a
hired man who HAS to mind his boss
he obviously puts question tnal ail-
swers itself. OF course he has none,
and every man in the world Is , siat W
Just in proportion as he Is compelled 70
serve a master. The remedy Tor THIS 10
Self-evident-to give men the oppor-
tunity of serving themselves.
"Will the Individual lose his freedom
under Socialism, Mr.. White asks.
That entirely depends on what you
mean by Socialism. The trouble Win
Socialism is that the word is vague. II
means association, cooperation, ana
docs not tell us whether the co-opera-
ton Is to be that of men standing on
an equal footing, having equal oppor-
tunities, and therefore able to co-ope-
rate freely and voluntarily, or men
forced to cooperate by authority.
There are two distinct schools OF So
cialism. One says: 1.-THE first thing 70
be done is to secure to every indlviuuai
ties Of supporting life. Then. as free
men and women. they will be able 10
cooperate voluntarily"
The other says: 1.-THE way to get at
this thing Is to make the government
sole owner and employer"
Those who belong to the nrsL schooi.
which do, say that the latter remedy
would be worse than tne oisease, sn ,ss
instead of setting men free econom-
ically, 1t would be a mere change OF
masters, and that the state would prove
a far harsher employer than is the cap
italist. Herbert Spencer, for instance,
took this view. as do Tclstoy ana
others too numerous to mention.
Within 300 words shall not attempt
to discuss this matter further, saying
merely that he who does not know that
these two distinct schools Of Socialism
exist must learn that, as the first step.
Both schools have large literature.
and there is not the slightest difficulty
in finding out where each stands.
If Mr.. White wants to be recommend
ed TO books for information / shall be
happy to give him in subsequent LETT
ter the names Of the very best on either
side. ECONOMIST.

Germany and Japan WIN Both
Practice National Economy

TT IS not surprising that Germany is
following the example Of Japan and
II preparing to economize. Even with
the proposed economies, however, it is
stated that there must be heavy new
taxation for imperial purposes. and the
list of proposed increases indicates that
the empire is approaching the end. Of
its financial resources. What the coun-
try could do In case of war 1t Is hard to
see. Under the influence of patriotism
a people will for time endure almost
any financial burden, but 1t Is doubtful
whether Germany could greatly In
crease ordinary taxation In time or
peace without revolution. In this
country there would certainly be grave
disturbances If we should at once jump,
in time of peace, to the onerous TAXA
ton endured by all the great powers
of continental Europe. The course of
the market for German bonds has at
any rate warned the German govern
ment that there must be no more bor-
rowing to meet deficits in ordinary ex-

FORGED LETTER

AT OW THAT Mrs. Grover Cleveland
has denied that her famous hus-
~ band before his death wrote
letter advising Democrats to support
Taft, the forged Cleveland letter be-
comes a strong argument in favor of a
vote for Bryan and Kern. When the
Greedy Old Party is reduced to such
desperate straits in its anxiety to hang
on to the power from which it fears
public opinion may dislodge 1t, that it
toadies to the trusts and uses forged
and fraudulent letters as campaign
documents it is plain that in the bright
lexicon of Republicanism there are no
such words as SHANE" and "self re-
spect." To those who knew Mr.. Cleve-
land and were aware that not only dur
ing the last months but the last years
of his life he was fighting both the
physical weakness caused by advance
ing age and great physical pain caused
by his 'uraemic troubles. it was utterly
Incredible that he should take any of
the precious fragment of time he was
devoting to his family and use it for
the purpose of influencing a campaign
in which he had little interest. We had
hoped this would be clean campaign.
But the noxious influences which have
affected American life in the past few
years, during the deplorable drift away
from Americanism, have had their eff
feet on the campaign.

matters, let it not be forgotten that
the alleged letter from Cleveland pub
lished in Republican newspapers is
false and fraudulent; an impudent for
gerry which has caused Mrs. Cleveland
great grief and annoyance.

intelligent people can arrive at but one
opinion concerning the transaction at
tempted by the solid three" and that
opinion must be that the "solid three"
expected. in the handling of the money
to be obtained for the bonds, in the
making of the contracts for the ex-
penditures of that money, or in some
other way, to feather their nests before
they got out of the offices which two
of them have been virtually kicked out
OF by the public already, and which
the third will be booted out of as soon
as the public gets a chance to put its
foot where it will do the most good.
These men might have conducted this
good roads matter so that the highways
which the proceeds OF the bonds will
construct would have made monu-
nent Of honor to them. AS 1t is they
have so conducted themselves that
these highways when completed will be
a monument Of dishonor to them.
Let these gentlemen make no mis-
take about this matter! We believe
that the people of Los Angeles county
grafters at heart. The people believe
that they meant to betray the interest
of the people in the manipulation of
the bonds and their proceeds, and they
are going to keep a very close eye on
them in connection with these good
roads bonds and their proceeds until
they get out of Offices
The Herald has no doubt that this is
not the last trick which these gentle
men will attempt to play upon the pub
lie in connection with this bond sale.
We believe that when the bonds are
again offered for sale it will be found
that the board of supervisors has
loaded up the offer with requirements
and specifications in some way caicu-
lated to benefit themselves, or at least
to injure the public.
We hope the public will not delude
itself In the belief that the good roads
fund of the county is out of danger.
1t will not be out of danger until
majority of the solid three" are out
of office, which, thanks to the honesty
and decency of the people of Los An
geles county, will shortly occur. And
we desire most earnestly to impress
upon the advisory committee that its
work in guarding the interest of the
people in the good roads bonds is not
yet over, and will not be until the
visors is thing of the past.

National Fire Department
Is Needed By Uncle Sam

miles OF valuable timber have been de-
stroyed. Week after week have the
fires ragged until their fury exhausted
itself. Thousands of men fighting
them at once were able to do but lit
tie. The fire i1end was king. Man
was his miserable subject. Nature
was his prey, says the San Francisco
Globe.
In washington. in Oregon, in Me-
vada, In Montana, in Dakota, In Min
nesota--all through the north and the
northwest--vast forest fires have ragged,
and some of them are still raging. So
fierce are the fires In Minnesota, ex-
tending along Lake Superior for 100
miles, that the entire lake--the largest
body of fresh water In the worlds
covered by haze of smoke, and so
dense Is this pail that for more than
fifty miles from shore 1t Is quite as
impenetrable as the ordinary ocean
fog.
These things ought not to be. Yet
what is being done to prevent them?
Nothing. Yet why should not some-
thing be done7 There is no reason.

NI HIS is bold scheme, as even
the most daring must admit, but
= desperate diseases require des-
perate remedies. and fearful situations
require prompt decision and quick ac-
tlon.
Startling as the thought may seem,
what this country needs is a national
tire department.
Recent reports I. OF forest fires
throughout the United States, and par
ticuiarly in the west. where timber is
most valuable. have been alarming,
almost appalling. The actual destruc-
ton wrought can hardly be computed
in figures, and the mental anxiety and
physical suffering which have been en-
dured by the thousands of persons in
the country, in towns and villages,
and even cities, whose homes have
been threatened or destroyed. Is in
calculable by any human mensure-
ment.
California has been one OF the worst
sufferers in this regard. Her most fa-
nous trees have narrowly escaped de-
struction. and thousands OF square

penses In time of peace, says the San
Francisco Chronicle.
The German empire has large sums
invested in railways, but they cause no
deficit. On the contrary, railways and
posts and telegraphs pay a handsome
profit In operation. doubtless sufficient
to take care of their share of the inn
perial debt. The heavy expenses of a
non-productive nature are those for
the army and navy and administration.
Administration is pursued into detail
OF which our people can have very lit
tie conception. This requires the serv-
ices Of a multitude OF people whose
very moderate salaries make a very
large aggregate. And the same admin
istrative detail extends into the states
and municipalities of the empire and
the aggregate of taxation Is crushing
Germany, in retrenching, is only doing
what all European nations must soon
do. II the people of this country are
wise they will not get into such a
position. The United States is now the
only lightly taxed country in the north
ern hemisphere.

and to have followed that suggestion
with the statement that the laws of
the country should be so enforced as
not to interfere with that business.
1t is humiliating to The Herald. and
it must be so to every honest citizen.
that businesses could have existed, or
do exist, in our great country which
will be interfered with or in any way
injured by the enforcement of our
country's laws.
And yet, If we are to dignity Gen.
Du Points piratical powder trust, which
has oppressed the citizens Of the coun-
try who dealt with 1t and held up" the
government itself, with the name of
business" then Mr.. Taft's qualified
promise to enforce the laws of the
country would appear to be in order
to be just and logical and right.
We have no doubt, however, that the
fact that the Republican candidate has
expressed himself as favorable to the
carrying out of 1.-THE Roosevelt poll
cies." but in a way which win not In
terfere with business, explains the
anxiety of the law-breaking head of
the powder trust for the success of that
candidates campaign. to which. ac-
cording to MT. Hitchcock. he is $50
earnestly devoted"
And right here The Herald desires
to say that after studying Mr.. Taft
most earnestly and carefully, after
reading and bordering every utterance
Of his that has been given to the public
press. and, above all, after carefully
noting the character OF his supporters
and especially of those who have been
put into most intimate control Of his
campaign. as well as the character of
the convention that nominated him,
The Herald does not believe that the
country can secure in Mr.. Taft a pres
ident who will take the place Of Mr..
Roosevelt when it comes to enforcing
his country's laws without fear or
favor against the wealthy malefactor
as well as against the poor law-breaker.

GOOD ROADS

NT HILE we rejoice that the 'bond
wv sale has been declared off and
that formal request for a
qualification of the deal has been made
by the buyers, we regret the time that
has been lost and the opportunity that
has been wasted by the Ill advised
action of members of the board of SUI
pervisors. We hope the good roads
bonds will be marketed to advantage,
and that the hitch in the bond sale
will be the last obstacle placed in the
way of good roads.
All citizens are interested in good
roads. No public improvement can be
more general and universal in it's eff
feet than the improvement which will
open up ready communication between
separated or isolated communities. and
put on the map every square mile of
the territory traversed by the roads.

We learn from New York that con-
structive social efforts will eventually
prevent all poverty. Very good, but
how are the constructive social efforts
to be organized? The first constructive
social effort which should be made by
the American people is the election of
William Jennings Bryan, in order that
social efforts that are not constructive
but destructive may be dealt with ac-
cording to their deserts.

There is grave fear among those
interested i'm the establishment of a
Chidrous Hospital iu Honolulu, that
the project may have TO be abandoned
on account o. lack of funds with which
to carry on the plans.
This is the more to be regretted from
the fact that a comparatively small
amount of the money needed to cs-
tablish the institution still remains to
be raised
Judge Dole, who is the chairman OF
the committee having in charge the
raising of the fund, stated yesterday
that $4,000 more must be raised or
the project will, in all probability, be
dropped
About $4,000 has been subscribed,
and this amount has remained station
airy for several months now, no one
alse seemingly being enough interested
to add to it. Miss Nellie Judd at
