GREAT WORK
AT THE GULF
The Immense Undertakings Of the
Port Ine!is Terminal Company and
Its Allies, the Dunnellon Phosphate
Company, and Barker Chemical
Company, on the Withlaeoochee
River ard at Its Mouth

Comparatively few people have any
adequate conception Of the scope and
value of the great improvements that
lave been made by the above named
the gulf coast and in the wilderness
between it and civilization.
1t is an oft told story, how the Dun
Mellon Phosphate Company, realizing
that the railroads were not only
charging unreasonable rates, but were
rot giving it adequate shipping facili-
lies, set about opening It's own way to
the markets, and out of this necessity
was born the Port Inglis Terminal
Company. which has accomplished a
work that would look big in any part
ut the world, let alone on a lonely
coast where a dozen years ago houses
could be counted on the fingers Of one
hand, and five-tOn fishing boat was,
more important than the Mauretania
row is to New York
1t is the opinion Of experts that
around the town of Dunnellon there
are phosphate deposits that will last
FOR fifty years. and it looks like the
DuDnellon Company is building for a
half if not full century to come

and road bed, better in fact than
some of our trunk lines; it's engines
are large and powerful, and they haul
long, heavy trains. The main line
runs from Rockwell to Inglis, nine
miles from the gulf.
Inglis a few years ago was an old
field with a deserted house and two
or three tumble down outbuildings in
It. 1t is where the works which pro-
Tided salt for all that section were To-

Special Dispatch to The Daily Alaskan)

Seattle, July IO-The report published a favU days ago in the Seattle Times to the ef- feet that Gale had withdrawn from the race for the delegateship was without any tounda- tion whatever and was a palpable taIsehood. I last evening received a telegram from MT. Gale in response to one from me making ln- nnIrv as to the truth of the announcement Tn inc Times. MT. Gales wire is as follows:
 A. E. Light, Seattle Owing to the very serious illness of my wife it will be impossible for me to go to Alaska to take part ln the camvaign at this time as had intended. My friends must take charge until later.
 In another message MT. Gale says that not only his wife in Fond du Lac but ms daQgn' ter in Dakota is very sick and both are oeg- ging him to be with them. He has been com 0elied to travel back and forward between inc two places and so has been out of com munication with his friends, and hls secre- tary and is apparently not aware or what Is going on here in Alaska.
 The friends of MT, Gale who are here qe clare that while they could wish that he might be on the ground, that people LnlgI,G see him and hear what he may have to tell +hem, thev propose to see him through the campaign. The announcement that Gale had withdrawn was made by the supporters of Corson tor political purposes and was noCnlng more than a trick, employed to take adVanG- aoa of a man detained at the bedside ot a SICK wife.
 MT, Gale says he is in the field to stay, and tUat, in deference to his friends who have been lending him support he could not oo otherwise. He greatly regrets he cannot niS leave his family for he would lk9 tq qe IF En0 fight. A. b. % %41oL1L

ODORIFEROUS RECORDS

VJ RANSUE'S devotion to railroad in
terests is shown plainly by the
II fact he voted against Bill No. 447,
a measure designed to compel railroad
companies to furnish room and accom-
modations for passengers on trains.
Surely there was nothing unreasonable
in this provision for the public well
fare, but the railroad objected and the
bill was lost. Active and prominent in
their hostility to the public interest and
in their zeal for the railroad were Bell,
Case, Stanton and Transue.
Transue especially has distinguished
himself by supporting a choice variety
of odoriferous legislation, and by re-
fusing to support bills which appeared
to be disinterested and patriotic, and
presented for the good of the people.
He helped to carry the Johnson bill
designed to give the railroad commits
sion almost unlimited power. Some of
the members upon second thought
baked at this measure, and an at
tempt was made to have it reconsid-
cred, but in vain. The Los Angeles
members who lined up with the Her
rim members and voted against recon-
sideration were Leeds, Pierce, Stanton.
Harmon and Transue.

themselves as to the records and char
acters of the Democratic candidates.
There is not a man on the Democratic
ticket who as a citizen has any cause
to be ashamed of his record in private
or in public life. On the other hand,
when we trace the careers of Repub-
lican candidates, we as citizens are
Inundated and ashamed that any
nominating body should have thought
so lightly of it's duty to it's party and
to the community as to present for
the support of citizens men whose
records disqualify them for office.
The history of the infamous change
of venue bill sheds light on the char
acter and motives of the candidates
unblushingly presented for public ap-
proval by a shameless Republican ma
chine. Los Angeles assemblymen who
voted for the Ruef-Schmitz measure,
the Bill for First Aid to Grafters were
Bell, Cogswell, Leeds, Harmon, Pierce
Stanton, Thompson and Transue.
In the senate the bill was supported
by Anthony, Bates, Broughton, Hart
man, Irish, Keane, Leavitt, Markey,
Reilly, Savage, Wolfe and Wright.
These senators voted for this OUT
rageous bill while it's principal pro-
posed beneficiary was a fugitive from

SHAMELESSNESS

VN MPHASIS is laid on the necessity
n for supporting Democratic legls-
IA lative nominees when it is re-
membered that the same machine
which controlled the last legislature
named the legislative nominees at the
Republican convention. The Herald
from time to time has published and
will continue to publish references to
the records of the machine candidates
which should set the independent voter
and self-respecting Republican right as
to which party deserves his support at
the polls.
In California politics this year. the
discerning may read the same old story
of railroad influences and corporation
cunning. But, fortunately, the state
has been partially emancipated. The
Democratic party is no longer under
the heel of Harriman's bosses. 1t has
nominated the clean candidates whose
names are at the head OF this page for
the information of independent Repub-
lican as well as Democratic voters We
invite citizens not already familiar with
these names to study them, and to
make whatever inquiries may suggest

GUARANTEED DEPOSITS

N UARANTY of bank deposits, the
T economic and financial principle
W advocated by the national Democ-
racy, was approved by a committee of
investigation of the plan which was APP
pointed by the Merchants association
of New York. This association emu
merated the following positive advan-
tages which are conferred upon banks
and their depositors by the workings of
the guaranty fund.
Prevention of bank runs, the con-
solvent as we'll as insolvent institu-
tions.
Attraction of new deposits by reason
of the additional safety that is offered.
So securing government deposits that
they may be safely placed with any
bank and may be used by it for the
support of trade and industry, and
Providing complete elasticity for the
currency through the immediate con-
version of deposits into bank notes
in seasons of expanding trade; and
through an equally easy conversion of
the notes into deposits when trade con-
tracts.
The Merchants association supple
mented these reasons with the state
ment: 1.-THE banks derive profit from
Ioaning their deposits, and their losses
are generally due to their own errors
of judgment or of management. 1t
seems, therefore, no more than just
that upon them should be assessed the
first cost of insurance against those
losses-especially since the permanent
guarantee fund is to count as a part of
their legal reserve. While in theory a
depositor should estimate the strength
of the bank he deals with, yet in prac-
tice he is rarely able or in position
to do so, and, moreover, in many places
the limitations of banking facilities
seriously restrict the opportunity for
intelligent choice
The guaranty of bank deposits will
increase the business stability and
prosperity of the American nation.
With guaranty of deposits there will
be no more panics and runs. There will
be no more scenes like the following,
which was described in an Associated
Press dispatch:
New York-More than a thousand
men and women crowded Grand street,
in front of the private bank of Pal
lowek, Magilewski & Werner, when it
was learned that the doors of the insti-
tuition were closed, and its affairs were
"a
had done a large business with east
side peddlers and many of them were
in the crowd which surrounded the
closed bank. - The private bank or
Eduardo Avallone in Bleecker street
also was closed, a card on the door an
nouncing assignment for the benefit OF
creditors"
Why should the people be denied the
benefit of guaranteed deposits?

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS
is A MENACE TO LIBERTY

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19.-IEditor
Herald: 1t seems good to see The
Herald Netter Box and alD take up
the cause of the Mexican patriots i'm
prisoned in this city. Magon, Villareal
and Rivera only sought rights already
granted them by the Mexican constitu-
tion-the right of free speech, vote and
public assembly, all of which the Diaz
tyranny denies. For this they were
first exiled, then hunted across the
border, imprisoned on false charges
and detained without trial.
There was a time when Americans
would have made protest that would
have sounded far at such an outrage
of justice within our borders. But now
so many are Indifferent. Yet they boast
of being an Anglo-Saxon people. They
forget that England with all her self
ishness and mistakes in ruling prov
inces must be nightly ashamed of us
for claiming their kinship. England
has never allowed herself to become a
policeman for tyrants. The most hunt
ed political exiles have always found
refuge on her shore. But as our pres
ent administration seems to be guided
neither by precedent nor by principle,
it remains for citizens to demand JUS
tice.
This Imprisonment is an awful wrong
to innocent, devoted men. 1t Is men
ace to liberty everywhere and to the
ideals we have cherished. All who feel
this should unite in unceasing effort
to end such atrocities. A. H. D.

EDITOR ROOSEVELT

4 FTER many years and many honors
II Theodore Roosevelt has at last
"A found his life work. After his
trip to Africa-which, it is now freely
acknowledged, is a contract trip, un-
dertaken at the solicitation of enter
prising publishers, for the purpose of
finding material for profitable book
Col. Roosevelt will return to his first
love, journalism, the greatest and
noblest profession of modern times. In
spite of all the glory and glitter Of
Roosevelt's career, people who know
him best, who have known him for
years, realize it has been the result of
a most extraordinary series of acci-
dents. Even his elevation to the presi-
der of events. If he had followed his
bent he would have been an editorial
writer.
1t is customary to say Mr.. Roosevelt
is not a man of great wealth. At the
same time, he has never needed to work
for a living. He has an Independent
fortune, which enabled him during his
earlier years to do exactly as he
pleased; for instance, to become a
rancher and an open air man when his
health was threatened. He had taste
for descriptive rather than didactic
writing, but the excellent editorials
which he has published from time to
time in the form of presidents mes
sages have given him capital train
ing for his work on The Outlook.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC

A REPUBLICAN who is president of
n one of the largest banks in
"A western New York has written
letter to a friend in Los Angeles in
which he admits that Governor Hughes
cannot carry New York, and that the
state will "go Democratic strong"
1t is certain that If Hughes cannot
carry New York, Taft cannot carry the
nation. Metropolitan New York, which
is normally Democratic, will give big
majority for Bryan and Kern.
Rural New York, which is sometimes
Republican and sometimes Democratic,
will go Democratic. Although there
have been many changes since the re-
mark was first made, and although the
population has been increased greatly,
there is still considerable force in the
statement LAS New York goes, so goes
the nation" Republicanism in New
York is an extremely variable quantity.
For awhile the rural vote, nourished
on the Weekly Tribune, accepted its
Republicanism along with it's frost and
snow, as part Of the routine of life.
But the Granger movement, rural mail
delivery, long distance telephone and
other educational forces have effected
a change which is revolutionary.
Republicanism is nothing but an as
sertion that whatever is is right be-
cause it is" Emapcipation from old
line dogmatic Republicanism is char
acteristic of this year which will be
commented on by future historians.
Therefore no reference to former con-
ditions and no citations of what has
been" are of any value in determining
present conditions and the results they
will produce. Republicans who are
dreaming of the birds in last years
nest are doomed to a rude awakening.

GUARD THE HARBOR

4 n APPLICATION by the Banning

of the corporations to bottle up Will
mington harbor. Citizens of Los An
geles must be constantly on their guard
until all harbor plans are completed.
Never was corporation enmity to-
ward this progressive community more
evident than it is now. Corporation
campaigners resemble the old serpent
Of DIE biblical description. They are
more subtle than any other beast of
the field. But to be forewarned of their
subtlety is to be forearmed with vigil
ance and with zeal for the furtherance

For example, because 1 defend the

dent" jocularly forecasting any ex-
pulslon from the party at an early date
as a consequence of my unfortunate
habit Of outspokenness.
Now, apart from the fact that the
Socialist party does not expel mem

why the Socialist party cannot expel

ber, and never was. AS to why-well

Governor Gillett has taken the stump

Taft's prospects, but far be it from
us to suggest that the Republican man

Indeed, it may be possible we are vast

cause of Mr.. Gillett's proposed cam
paign activity. Perhaps Mr.. Taft
knows that Hartman introduced Gill
lett as next governor of California long
before Republicans knew they were
