RESULTS OF PANIC

CCORDING to our Republican
n contemporary, certain sections of
IA. California have suffered severely
from the Republican adversely which
our friend on some pages denies-on
others admits-in the confusing and
contradictory fashion peculiar to all
the Republican papers. Their per-
plexity should evoke the sympathy of
the unbiased and level headed, for
they are in the plight of unhappy
wights forced to cry peace, peace"
when there is no peace.
The Herald has both contended and
shown that California, which is in
many respects the most favored state
in the Union, has suffered far less
from Republican adversely than has
any other state, and this assertion is
borne out by the statements of Califor-
mans who have been visiting the east
and are now returning. At the same
time it would be too much to expect
that even this most resourceful of
states would escape scathless from
the Republican simeon which swept
over the country, and our Republican
contemporary is authority for the
statement that the California vineyard
industry has suffered from the finan-
cial depression.
Says our Republican friend: "The
financial depression has lessened the
ability of great many to purchase
what many people regard as luxury
rather than a necessity of life. An
other thing that has tended to de-
preciate the wine market is the de-
parture during the past few years OF
some four hundred thousand Italians
for their own country, owing TO
lack of work on this side.' In this
statement there is an acknowledg-
ment that Republican prosperity
was bogus. There is also an admis-
sion of the truth of the statement
Incredible though 1t sound0 that
America is not only in serious dam
ger of losing, but is LOSING large

REPUBLICANISM

q HABBIEST of all Republican cam
- paign tricks or lodges Is that
~ which pretends that the likelihood
of Democratic success is causing busi-
ness instability, and that therefore
some factories must be closed until
after election. Manufacturers who have
tried to help the cause of Republican
ism by suspending activity will not
gain their object, because the Ameri-
can workingman is too wise to be
fooled by such transparent trickery.
No doubt factories have been tempo
rarily closed in good earnest and not
merely as part of an arranged pro-
gram. But it is nonsensical on the
part of Republican managers to assert
that these factories are being closed
through fear of Bryan victory" We
believe it is thoroughly understood by
the majority of the American people
that Republican adversely and not pre-
tended fear of the consequences of
Democratic triumph is responsible for
the shutdown, when it is genuine.
If there has been a legitimate sus-
pension of business, it has been caused
by Republican hard times. The threat
of some Republican factories to close
down if Bryan IS elected should not be
taken seriously, unless it should be
ascertained that such concerns are al
ready on the verge of bankruptcy,
condition which not even the widest
and most fanatical Republican could
attribute to conditions which may be
expected after the people have re-
asserted their right to rule. This is
naturally and by development an in
dustrial republic, and the view of the
future to take is that with the election
of Mr.. Bryan, with the elimination of
fear Of the deterrent influences of the
trusts and other unfair agencies. which
have been interfering with legitimate
business operations, there will be a
great revival of confidence and : re-
vival of industrial activity in every
line.

GAME PROTECTION

HALIFORNIA'S revenue from hum
ters' licenses last year reached the
~ tidy total of something in the VI
cinity of $215000. This year the amount
realized will not be any less and may
be more. The money is handled by the
California fish and game commission
and used for the protection and propa-
cation of fish and game within this
state. Most of the amount instanced
was raised by the 81 tax upon resident
sportsmen. Under the law the tax is
graded Residents pay 81, non-resi-
dents $40, aliens s25.
The creative might say the tremen-
of the conservation
of the game and food fishes of Califor-
mia has long been realized and under
stood by legislators, but at times
it has been difficult to obtain
proper legislation, applicable to all
parts of the state simultaneously. Cal
ifornia is such a large state that the
variations of climate are so great as
to make it practically impossible to
have uniform legislation on subjects
affected by the territorial extent of the
state and the varying conditions pre-
vailing at various attitudes and lati-
tudes. A blanket law for game pro-
lection is therefore not good measure
for California, because it is not feasible.
Eastern sportsmen who come here ex-
press wonder at the open seasons as
they are established, and fail to under
stand why the law permits the killing
of doves in nesting season and of deer
while their horns are in the velvet;
why the limit on doves, which are
scarce, is thirty-five, which is ten more
than on quail.
Sportsmen universally recognize that
the cause which more than any other Is
responsible for excessive destruction of
game is the looseness of the law which
allows market hunters to sell game,
and tends to commercialize sport. The
next legislature should enact a statu-
tory clause prohibiting the sale in Cali
fornia of any game bird of any descrip-
ton. The legislature should also place
the bag limit on ducks at twenty-five,
make the dove season colncident with
that on quail, stop dogging deer in
northern counties and place some
restriction upon the indiscriminate
slaughter of game fishes in Pacific
waters.
system of county wardens should
be established and fines collected for
offenses in any county should be ex-
pended for still further protection Of
game in that county through special
wardens. Between October l and Octo-
ber 10 there is considerable sooner"
shooting in the quail coverts, and the
law abiding sportsman who seeks his
favorite grounds on opening day finds
the coveys scattered and the grounds
strewn with sooner" shells. A dozen
special wardens sent afield would stop
this illegal poaching and insure for
the true sportsman who obeys the laws
better shooting in the open season.

NENATOR FORAKER. eliminated as
~ a factor in politics, may yet serve
~ as an illustration, an example to
point the radical change in the public
standard of political ethics. Foraker
Is a survival of a corrupt period OF
which himself and Senator Aldrioh of
Rhode Island are the most fragrant
existing types. These men and others
like them who have already disap-
peared were representatives in the SEN
ate, not of their constituents, but Of
wealthy corporations interested in state
and national legislation. The strange
thing is that they appear to have been
unable to understand that there was
any moral wrong in these affiliations
and alliances, Indeed, Foraker still
attempts to defend his untenable po-
sition and in his defense of himself
against the recent charges he makes
this explanation:
From the beginning of our govern
ment senators and congressman who
were lawyers were regarded as free to
continue the practice of their profess
sion IL they so desired during their
terms of office in so far as they might
be able to do so without interfering
with their public duties; and in such
practice free to take any kind of en-
ployment that was offered which did
not in any way conflict with their du-

BY-PRODUCTS

TT is all very we'll to talk jestingly
of handing a man lemon, but 1t
Il is impossible to hand too many
lemons to California growers.
Like The celebrated packing house
zig, of which there's nothing left UNI
used but the squeal," every bit of the
lemon can be transformed into . useful,
money-bringing product.
Now it has been found that even the
culls are valuable. They are used for
making citric acid and oil of lemon, for
which there is such a demand that 1t
cannot be supplied. The representative
of one company which deals in these
by-products makes the announcement:
with increased factory facilities we
can now receive the entire Gull crop of
the state" Attention to the manufac-
ture OF by-products is sure to add
greatly to the revenue Of citizens who
are engaged in the development of CAL
ifornia Industries. Conversations with
various experts, as well as accounts
of especial demands published from
time to time, such as the espe-
cial demand for lemon culls, lead
us to believe that many great
manufacturing industries, some of
which will have headquarters in Los
Angeles, will be founded for the pur-
pose of putting into marketable form
the by-products of California indus
tries. And, we may add, in this direc-
ton there is a promising field for in
genuity and invention.

DECLARES CHURCH IS DOING
EVERYTHING FOR WORKERS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.-tEditor
Herald: Allow me to inform Mr.. Sew
erance that the church Is working to
save, bodies as well as souls. l worked
in Los Angeles till I got down sick. I
was a street car conductor two years,
also a mail carrier-distinctly labor
ing man. I had a family of five de-
pendent upon me-my health gone,
money gone, hope almost gone.
The church, unsolicited, came to my
rescue. She sent doctors to me and
medicines, food for my hungry children,
money to pay my rent and gas Dills,
etc., and prayed for me.
She placed me in the Barlow sana-
torium, where / am now getting we'll.
Paid all my expenses, and will pay
here, provided for my family and
loaned me money without interest be-
sides. And 1 laboring man. Think of
it, Mr. Severance!
All over the world the church Is
working to save the bodies and souls OF
men. Hospitals, sanitoriums, children's
homes, asylums, homes for the aged,
soldiers homes, etc., witness to these
facts.
The church, led by Jesus Christ, has
to do with everything that can affect
human life and citizenship, and II the
Workingman does not attend church
and receive her blessings 1t is not the
fault of the church. She invites him
and welcomes everyone. The Carpenter
of Nazareth, who founded the church.
was a worlxingman and distinctly a
man of the people. Deep down In his
heart was the divine purpose to uplift
the fallen, heal the sick and vindicata
the rights of the oppressed. His great
heart was in sympathy with the masses.
He loved man as made in the likeness
of God, and founded his church as the
visible kingdom of God in which man is
brought back into that likeness which
was lost by sin. Praise the Lord.

WOULD FORCE ALL OFFICIALS
TO OBEY ALL THE LAWS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6.-tEditor
Herald: In discussing this contro-
versy between Capt. Fredericks ana
Mr.. Woolwine it is we'll to remember
the facts, which are these: Inc VIII
ten law says there shall be no houses
of i'll rerlte, and Capt. Fredericks anu
othar officers are sworn to enforce TINS
law But IL you are close friend or
a Judge. the captain of police or b
prosecuting attorney they VIII tell you
that there is an unwritten law TO the
contrary. Every intelligent citizen VINO
is at all posted on this subject KNOWS
this is true of every city. The ponce
make a raid now and then for pubic
effect and SO the fines these unIor-
tunate women pay may help pay the
city's expenses. They also arrest tne
women of this class who are unpro-
tected, and thus force them unuer
master who takes most of the pront OIL
tbis terrible business. There Will be no
great change until society becomes In
telligent enough to inaugurate sys-
fem that is not run to create pronts at
any cost of life. If society were inter
,igent enough it would provide homes
for these women presided over by COM
petent matrons.
This is what ]. G. Westenberg OF the
whatsoever Will mission of San Fran
cisco SAYS Most of these girls are
under 25, some of them as young as Ia,
and many of them have wept and told
my wife that they would leave TINS lie
if they could go or any other Ire open
to them"
Let us do all we can to better the
condition of these unfortunates that
our undeveloped society has dragged
down. Let us arouse society till 1t win
provide homes for them. And let us
make public sentiment SO strong
that Can't. Fredericks and every other
officer will nave to obey and enforce
the written law.

lives as we'll as OF the safety and lives
of others. In San Francisco there is
an increasing number OF reckless
drivers of these new machines, vehicles
of great benefit If properly directed.
After analyzing the New York sta
tistics the New York Sun expert con-
cludes that the number of reckless au-
tomobiles is neither small nor of little
consequence. We think there are even
more reckless drivers of autos In the
west, men and women who take
chances at fifty or sixty miles an hour,
or even at much more moderate
speed. At such a rate chance may at
any moment precipitate an accident
that costs life and limb, says the San
Francisco Globe.
We take little stock in the report
that reckless drivers are few. The ap-.
palling number of accidents disproves
this. as does common observation. Let
every owner of an auto learn to drive
at a sane rate and there will be less
agitation and prejudice against this
latest method of modern locomotion.

MAKES SUGGESTION TO FLINT
ON HOW TO DRAW CROWD

PASADENA, Oct. 6.-[Editor Her
add; 1t is announced that Senator
Flint will soon speak in Pasadena
or course he will want to draw a
big crowd. He can do this by an
nouncing that he will discuss Senator
Foraker's relation to the Standard OIL
company and Judge Tafts high stan
dard of political integrity.
1t sounds beautiful to say that no
man who holds confidential relations
with a great corporation is fit for
the United States senate. Does Sem
ator Flint really believe that Judge
Taft would rather be defeated for
president than to support corpora
ton attorney for United States sem
ator? That the discussion might be
on a high plane and not contaminated
with practial politics. 1t would be well
to bar any consideration of the South

poration that confidential relations
