AT 1T AGAIN

4 MAN who admits cheeFfully he is
~ a disturber of the peace has again
- seized position in the limelight.
Generally his disturbances of the peace
have been followed by financial dis
turbances. The Hon. Thomas w. Law
son, the prince of yellow magazine
writer's, was not content with attempt
ing to break up what he calls the
system" He tried to do that and on
the ruins of it to build another system,
for Lawson.
His paid advertisements which are
now being published do not pretend to
be altruistic or philanthropic efforts
The great Shower up" is no longer in
masquerade. He says in his latest pro-
years have maneuvered for the posi-
ton which is mine today. In that time
the system has tried by all the in
genious, INSCRIPTIONS tricks of which
| it is the master, and through all the
devious and powerful agencies which
are at it's call. to discredit and crush
me. At the cost of millions to itself it
has falsified my predictions, as in Yu-
kon, causing enormous temporary
losses to my friends and bringing down
bitter criticism upon myself" To the
pror people who, on the strength of
Tom Lawson's precious predictions"
were induced to invest in "Y -kon," this
little explanation will be salt in a
wound. Mr.. Lawson cannot hope to
regain his prestige no matter how
freely he may spend money in Bar
numlzing himself and making the dear
public acquainted with the details of
dazzling campaigns for getting rich, in
which they may articipate-TERMS,
CASH. Great is the truth of the old
saying, You can fool some of the peo-
pie all of the time, and all of the peo-
pie some of the time, but you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time"

DO YOUR DUTY

/ EMOCRATS of Los Angeles: You
have read what the Democratic
- league wishes to accomplish at the
primaries.
This is the day. DO 1t now"
Assist in the election Of able, intelli-
gent. wise and fearless Democrats as
delegates to the assembly and county
conventions, in order that able. intelli-
gent. wise and fearless candidates shall
be nominated for local offices. By do
ing your duty you will help to make
certain that the county convention
shall be composed of wise and Ster-
ling Democrats, with the result that
the county central committee may be
made up of Democrats of standing,
ability and character. to the end that
an effective. aggressive and vote maxi
ing campaign shall be conducted. In
order to accomplish these things, DEM
|ocrats having the highest interests Of
the party at heart have been nomi-
mated as delegates to the county and as
sembly district conventions. The as
sembly district delegates will not only
attend the state convention. but will
nominate the Democratic candidate for
congress from the Los Angeles con-
gressionaI district.
1t is charged openly and not denied
that Mr.. McLachlan, the incumbent. who
undoubtedly will be renominated by
the Republicans, is subservient 10 the
Southern Pacific railway. The machine
politicians are working and planning
for the nomination of a weak Demo-
cratic congressional candidate, in order
that the election of Mr.. McLachlan may
be assured. Against their Vaccinations
voters today must protest in the most
practical way, by defeating their can
didates and thwarting their purposes,
and bringing their base schemes to
naught. There can be no doubt that
Southern Pacific delegates will nomi-
nate a straw or yellow dog Democratic
candidate for congress. True, honest,
Independent Democrats can prevent
this betrayal of the party by electing
as delegates the candidates of the DEM
ocratic league, who are irreproachabla
citizens. of high standing in the COM
munity, and will do their duty for
duty's sake.

LANGUAGE

TN OUR lovely neighbor city, Pasa-
dena, a musical instructor is about
n to be deprived of the opportunity
of earning a living because she is a
natural. enthusiastic and unhypocriti-
cal person, and instead of only think
ing vehemently on occasion she blurts
her feelings right out. saying Holy
Moses" and "Golly." 1t is asserted
further that, not contented with using
expressions which have been uttered
with impunity by President Roosevelt
and other great and good men, two
years ago she used language even
stronger when she was displeased at
the janitor of the First Methodist
church. Now, we can believe strong
language may be excused when leveled
at the janitor of an apartment house,
but it is highly improper to utter it in
relation TO church ianitor. His office
should protect him from violent verbal
bombardment. 1t must have been a
severe trial to the poor, dear man. He
kept on talking about it for two years.
until finally he caused the discharge OF
a highly competent workwoman, who
during eight years has done her duty
admirably. Like the author of "The
Servant in the House," we believe there
can be holy swearing and highly i'm
moral and hypocritical blessing. We
think the language of the musical In
structor at Pasadena was probably not
wholly violent, but holy violent. Well,
the poor girl has had her lesson. She
will think twice before she ever again
takes the name of Moses in vain.

JOHN DIS CONFESSIONS

TOHN ID. ROCKEFELLER'S con-
LESSONS are about to be begun.
- Newspaper and magazine biogra-
pliers have had their say. Now Mr..
Rockefeller will review his reviewers,
criticise his critics. explain his mo-
tives, defend his purposes, justify his
existence and set everything to rights.
The monthly which secured Rockefel-
Ier's Random "reminiscences" is to
be congratulated, especially If Mr..
Rockefeller has succeeded in showing
that he and other men of his type have
really been working for the promotion
of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness in the United States; that they
are really philanthropists, DESTROYS of
securing the greatest good for the
greatest number of citizens,
The altruistic aspect of Mr.. Rookie
feller's remarkable career will no
doubt be discussed fully and satisfac-
torily In his advertised chapters or
sections on 1.-The Facts About the OPP
preston Stories" 1.-THE Modern Cor
poration: Its Regulation and Future"
and 1.-THE Responsibilities of the BUSH
ness Man"
In America we are slowly but surely
reaching the conclusion that the re-
sponsibilities of the business man do
not begin and end with his profit and
loss account. The more successful a
business man is in the United States
the greater is the debt he owes this
republic, which has given him the
means of success. the opportunity for
success, and the most intelligent ca
pable and efficient workmen in the
world with whom to achieve success.
We do not think that alone, on the
island of Juan Fernandez, Rockefeller
would have done any better than Rob-
inson Crusoe. Indeed, Rockefeller
Crusoe might not have made as much
of a success of solitary life as old
Robinson did, for Robinson was in the
habit of regarding the days work as
something In which he should partici-
pate and assist, not as something he
could manipulate and manage for the
profits Of it. while others toiled and
created his profits.

OvercrOWding Great Lakes
Problem of Navigation

ships will continue to increase until.
like the streets of a great city with
their rushing automobiles and unceas-
ing pandemonium of cars, vans and
seething multitudes, these water high
ways will become dangerously crowded
with the vehicles of trade.
Already the Lake Carriers associa-
ton seems to foresee the danger OF
future navigation on the inland seas,
and has recommended that east and
west courses be established, so that up
bound vessels will be far out of the
path of down-bound ships. This is but
the first step toward government legis-
Iation, many believe, that will bring
about the cutting up of the lakes into
roads," when vessels bound for given
ports will have prescribed courses to
travel, from which they will devlate,
unless with good cause, at the risk not
only of their safety, but of a heavy fine.
Thus, it is probable, will the lakes be
made navigable for the myriad ships of
the future, when, in the words of one
ship owner, "a pail of smoke will hover
overhead day and night for seven
months in the year, and when the
world will witness water commerce as
1t has never existed before, and as 1t
will never exist elsewhere on the
globe."-James Oliver Curwood In Put

STILL IN SUNDERLAND

NT OTI.ING doing and mastery i'm
~ activity are two phrases which
~ describe the apathy or somno-
lence of the board of state railroad
commissioners. II would be wrong,
however, to talk about it as innocuous
desuetude. 1t is noxious desuetude-
nay, it is obnoxious. 1t is remarkable
to see how public officials on occasion
can calm their consciences and take an
attitude with regard to performance of
public task which they would never
sanction on the part of one of their
employees in their own private BUSH
ness. If any trusted employe of any
of the commissioners had fooled away
his employers time as the commis-
sioners have fooled away the peoples
he would discharge him. He wouldn't
be a good business man If h. did not.
We should think any railroad cor
porations accused of violations of laws
governing modern commerce by rebat-
ing or other practices which are now
discountenanced by the government
which has the support of public opin-
ion-would be only too glad to have
an opportunity of clearing themselves
from the charges made against them,
of refuting their critics, of quieting
hostile comment, of vindicating them
selves.
The railroad commissioners should
give railroads under suspicion an OPP
portunity of indicating themselves.
No doubt they would welcome 1t.

mon sense is necessary, and the first
principle of common sense is to re-
member routine is not always right
and precedent is not necessarily man
datory. The Democratic party be-
lieves it has a popular and winning
cause. 1t believes the first principles
OF Americanism are ,mbodied in its
platform and constitute the political
creed of its candidate. Everybody
knows the Democrats are in earnest
when they promise square deal and
say they will re-establish conditions
which will make popular education
again possible In the United States and
will guarantee to every willing worker
reasonable assurance of opportunity

strength and his time q. e., his life) in
exchange for the means of livelihood
and the support Of his family.
Now since the cause is popular it
will appeal to the people. Get an APP
peal for funds before the people and
invite small subscriptions and we be-
lieve the campaign will be financed
bountifully. All great reform move
ments and all great church movements
have been financed In this humble but
efficient way Let the Republicans call
it passing the hat II they will. There
is no disgrace in passing the hat
when the contributors will receive fan
more than value equivalent for Their

GAMBLING

nR. STRATON'S attack on the
gambling evil which is counte-
= nanced by public officials high in
authority in this state was both point
ed and to the point. No one who heard
it needed to guess at the complete pur-
port of his appreciation of an official
in an eastern state who dared to do his
duty, even though he was told it would
probably cost him his chance for
nomination for president of the United
States" DR.. Straton thanked God for
man like Governor Hughes Of New
York, who dared to defy the millionaire
race track gamblers with their horde
of blackleg camp followers, and to show
that band of lawless scoundrels that
they were not greater than the consti-
tuition OF the empire state of New
York"
These men are in spirit anarchists"
he added. 'rhey cry out vehemently
for the protection of the laws for their
own personal property, but they win
violate every law of God and man to
serve their own selfish interests and
crafty their own unholy instincts and
desires. rejoice that the fight against
race track gambling is on in California,
and hope the enlightened and law
abiding elements of this state will
wage this battle heroically until this
pernicious vice is swept forever from
the soil of this fair and glorious COM
monwealth-"
1t is no less important that the law
abiding elements of the state should
take an interest in the suppression Of
every kind of lawlessness. federation
of one kind of lawlessness may bring
about federation of another, and toler-
alton OF these two win encourage a
third. This kind Of liberation is intol-
