GOOD WORK

IN HE advisory committee will wait
until the supervisors act before
Il taking any further steps in the
matter of the good roads bonds sale.
The committeeman believe the super
visors are now pinned down to the
policy of accepting the best bid, and
cannot make any more breaks" Los
Angeles county is the gamer by not
less than S125,O00 and perhaps as much
as $15O,O0O as result of the pressure
brought to bear on the board of super
visors to compel them to advertise for
bids for the $S.5OO,Oo0 of good roads
bonds.
All honor to the advisory committee,
the members of which have stood be-
tween Los Angeles and what was
either remarkable official inefficiency
or a palpable steal. The suggestion is
made that the money saved should be
used for another highway between Los
Angeles and the harbor, and that the
additional road should be called "Ad-
visory avenue" Los Angeles county
is to be congratulated on the vigilance,
fearlessness and patriotism ~ the adj
visory committee.

THE CABINET

u LANS for a new national cabinet
remind students of national eco
Il Monies and policies that the cab
met of the United States as at present
constituted is incomplete. 1t is better,
more businesslike and more represen-
tative of the United States than it was
in the days when agriculture was not
represented and when domestic and
foreign critics found material for COM
ment in the absence from the cabinet
Of a representative of rural America.
Not less strange is the fact that wage
earning industrialism. labor skilled
and unskilled, is not represented in the
cabinet. That there should be a sec
rotary Of labor is not "preposterous
idea" With secretaries of agriculture,
commerce and labor the leading inter-
ests of the United States will be in a
fair way of being represented at the
chief council of the nation.
Labor unions and organizations Of
all kinds represent protests against a
system which almost ignores labor ex-
cepting as an adjunct to capital. There
should be more representatives of the
wage-earning classes in congress. For
example, have the iron and steel work
ers of Pennsylvania a spokesman and
special representative at Washington?
Congress as at present constituted is
not well balanced There are not
enough worl1ingmen in the house and
there are none in the senate. How pre-
posterous this is when looked at in the
cold, calm, judicial light Of reason. 1t
is at variance with the first principles
of Americanism, and until it is rene
died the country will stand in perpetual
danger from what David Graham Phil
lips calls "the treason of the senate.'
The Democratic party should re-
double its energies and should engage
in a campaign for senate reform, the
recognition of labor in the cabinet and
the selection Of workingmen, wage
earning candidates for seats in the
house. The Democratic party today is
the greatest moral force in the country

RULE MAY BE REASONABLE,
BUT STILL WILL BE RULE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-[Editor
Herald: Charles U. White has dis
missed the arguments against Social
ism by stating that we never touched
it," or proved nothing" and do mot
know how. 1t is important, not that
Mr.. White sees the fallacies of So
cialism, but that the readers of The
Herald understand them.
I never claimed that Spencer was
altogether right in the contention that
freedom "to stay or go as they
pleased" cannot work under Social
ism, because 1.-The system could not be
worked if the workers were severally
to go as they pleased"-if he ever made
any such contention. 1t would be i'm
possible to work Socialism very long
unless the workers did have this
freedom. Still there is no such liberty
in the army-and yet it works.
Socialism, like the army, is a syS-
tenn of compulsory cooperation. If it
isn't this then 1t must be either semi
compulsory or voluntary. But it is
compulsory, because ruled by ma
jority.
Maiorities recognize no rights. So
cialism is rule-rank or reasonable
but -rule nevertheless.
IA carpenter may own his own tools
and work Independently" For whom,
VIXEN the cooperative commonwealth
owns all the means of production
AM if one carpenter may work for
himself, Why not for others?
If two men can exchange labor ur7
dr. Socialism, why not large bod'es
of menu If industrial associations
rlay exchange labor with each oth4'.
why not exchange products" of labor?
But such liberty of cooperation is not
proposed by parliamentary Socialists.
Even il such liberty of co-opera7
tom was allowed it, would be moth
ing when the complete monopoly of
natural resources was in the hands of
the Socialists, as it is now in the
Mnds of the Capitalists"

CALIFORNIA CULTURE

PLEASANT FEATURE of Los
n Angeles life is supplied by the
IA alumni associations of UNIVERSE
ties and colleges. There is hardly a
seat of learning in the world that has
not sons and representatives in Los
Angeles. Graduates or men who have
taken special courses or attended
classes at all the greater educational
institutions of North America, the
United Kingdom and the continent of
Europe are to be found in Los Angeles.
From time to time the alumni hold re-
unions, sing college songs, tell college
stories, eat Los Angeles fare, and in
the finest city in the world recall their
early years and education.
The presence in Los Angeles of
so many men of culture, educa-
ton and refinement is only one of
numerous reasons which are work.
ing together to make this the edu-
cational and literary metropolis of the
United States. California books are
among the home products exhibited
this week. The problem of circulation
has always been more or less of an
obstacle for authors in California.
Mark Twain and Bret Harte solved the
difficulty by publishing most Of their
books in the east and allowing the cir
culation to follow the traditional course
from the east to the west.
But California is now making a de-
termined effort to obtain recognition for
home products and to make the stamp
made in California" well known all
over the United States and all over the
world.
The cars that carry eastern literary
goods to the California markets could
carry and should carry California liter
airy goods to the eastern markets. We
have plenty of able authors, plenty of
fine artists, plenty of well equipped pub
fishing establishments. There seems to
be need of distributing plans or facil-
tiles. California publishers could solve
this problem by united action. New York
publishers advertise their wares in Cali
fornia. 1t surely should be possible to
return the compliment by advertising
California literary wares in New York,
and If Californians buy books made in
New York it is reasonable to believe
New Workers would buy books made in
California.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-25
POCKETS

w ITH indignation we protest
w against the latest decree of
eastern fashion, which is that
trousers must he pocketless. 1t is evil
dent that woman, who for so many
years has dispensed with personal
pockets that it has become second ma
ture to use her husbands, is to blame
for this sartorial outrage.
In recent years there has been a
rebellion against the wifely habit of
pocket investigation. The comic pa
pers have published innumerable jokes
on the subject. Woman, by way of
revenge, has persuaded the arbiters of
fashion to abolish the pocket. Now
hubby won't have any trousers pock-
cts. Therefore there won't be any
loose change in them.
Although nothing has been said on
the subject, we presume woman in
tends to crown her triumph by abolish
ing pockets in other portions of the
attire of what Artemus Ward called
the mail sect. Man without pockets
will be a pitiful creature. and woman
will have the gloat on him, and won't
she chortle? eve know this is I'M
bridled and extravagant English, but
the subject demands it,
What will be mans substitute for
pockets? Will he carry reticule, a
hand satchel. or valise? He is sure
to forget his portable substitute for
a pocket. The papers will be filled
with advertisements publishing the
loss of a gentleman's reticule; the mis-
laying of a handsome valise; the alb
sent-minded abandonment of small
sized satchel.
Man without pockets will be a waif,
a stray. lonely and abject cuss. We
pity him. We despise the eastern tailor
who is trying to make the abolition
of pockets general all over the United
States. He is a traitor to his country;
q foe of orderliness; an enemy of
mankind.

ORIENTAL TRADE

A CCORDING to members of the Los
"a Angeles chamber of commerce
IA delegation who visited Japan, the
Japanese gave the Americans a cordial
reception and appeared eager to trade
with the merchants of California. 1t is
much more pleasant to print this news
than speculations as to what might
happen during a war on the Pacific.
That the Japanese are disposed to
make a commercial invasion of this
coast is acknowledged, but as its only
object as well as its only result would
be to encourage California industries,
we do not think there is any need to
view with alarm the japanese prepara-
TONS
1t is to the interest of Japan to cul-
tivate trade relations with this coast,
and when the Japanese population has
acquired the commercial habit trade
possibilities are very great. At San
Pedro Southern California has one of
the finest harbors in the United States,
ready for the expansion and develop
ment of the Oriental commerce, or for
worldwide commerce.
We hope the return of the chamber
of commerce delegation with assur-
ances of the friendship of the mer-
chants of Japan for the merchants Of
the United States will bring about some
inquiry into the immediate possibilities
of trade with the Orient. We suggest
the chamber of commerce appoint a
special Oriental trade committee. Let
our merchants, manufacturers and
shippers know what the Japanese
want. what they would be most likely
to buy. one of the immortal American
sayings is: 1.-THE way to resume is to
resume" and the way to develop trade
with the Orient is to go ahead and de-
Velop it.

EMMANUEL

A N ANNOUNCEMENT that an
~ Emmanuel movement class will
- be conducted in connection with
one of the leading churches of Los
Angeles was guarded by a carefully
considered sermon in which the rector
expressed belief in prayer for the sick,
but said it was never intended to take
the place of medicine or surgery.
Prayer along with material means, he
said, was excellent. but he refused to
recommend prayer without material
means.
1--WE must guard ourselves against
any fanatical use of this power" he
said. Prayer was never ordained to
take the place of medicine or surgery.
It is God who heals always. Whatever
is wrought is done by his power and
might. Sometimes he works through
prayer. sometimes through medicine
and sometimes through the surgeons
skill. Sometimes he uses all these
means combined"
The work and the results of the
Emmanuel movement class will be
watched anxiously and eagerly not
only by Episcopalians and members of
st. Johns church, but by all who are
interested in that form of new thought
which is now said to be identical with
the old gospel and to be part and
parcel of pure religion and undefiled.
Among the subjects to be taken up by
the class are 'the subconscious mind"
"the power Of suggestion" 1.-THE power
of auto suggestion" and Our
Thoughts"
It is evident the evolution of human
itv is proceeding in big circle, and
by way of the most complicated and
unwieldy civilization with which the
earth was ever afflicted we are slowly
rounding back to 1.-The simple life, p
primitive Christianity, and 1.-The prayer

Writes an Appreciation
of Theodore Roosevelt

until a time-serving congress ordered
it back.
There was certain "method In his
madness" President Roosevelt wished
to disabuse the minds of practical
men" of the impression they were still
inclined to entertain that Our Teddy"
was too enthusiastic, hardly safe and
sane" In the episode of the Roosevelt
Hartman orrespondence-"we are
practical men"-he certainly convinced
the most skeptical of them that he
could turn a sharp trick" with an un-
ruff1ed front equal to any King OF
Finance. Such prestige as he won in
this affair laid for him the basis for
his "get there" campaign of 1905 Let
them all take notice that he was no
"chimerical dreamer" like William j.
Bryan They became convinced that
no harm menaced them at the hands of
such a master faur-fiusher' as the
practical Mr.. Roosevelt. So they all, at
the last moment, fell into line"-the
more readily as they took notice that
he was quite ready to kick over his
serviceable old hobby-horse, Civil Ser
vice, and jump into the political fight
with his entire cabinet to do battle for
the party of which he was president
What of Theodore Roosevelt's politi-
cal principlesi Well, he really hasn't
any-except that he is Fundamentally
un-Democratic. He holds, with Alex
ander Hamilton, that I'VE should have
a strong, military, centralized govern
ment, administered by the rich and
we'll born" Without the personal charm
and dignity of Aaron Burr, he resem-
bles him in his.audacity, and has prac-
tically adopted his maxim; 1.-THE truth
is that which is boldly asserted and
plausibly maintained" The bold as
sertions of Theodore Roosevelt are
often fine and full Of plaustbil1ty-un-
til you get at the suppressed facts.
After all, however. there is a certain
comic suggestion of one Bottom the
Weaver" about the performances ana
utterances of Mr.. Roosevelt. His de-
sire to play many parts and win the
general Inscription of versatility is per
haps his ruling passion. He has lee
tured on everything from esoteric
Buddhism to midwifery and the simple
life. will he be embalmed in history
as "the Admirable Crichton"?

DOODLE VS.. PRINCIPLES

N THE national campaign the Re-
publicans acknowledge they ex-
\ pended over $10O0,00O more than
the Democrats. Although the extra
Republican disbursement may have
been legitimate, yet in view of the
fact that the Democratic financiers
were able to discharge all of the or
binary obligations of campaign work,
it is certain the size of the Republican
purse will cause considerable specula-
ton and comment.
Money has too much to say in Amer
lean presidential campaigns. The ideal
campaign would be one in which costs
were restricted to minimum.
The Democracy had by far the best
of the argument-every impartial critic
acknowledges that-yet, on account of
lack Of facilities for publicity, it was
not able to present its case to as many
voters as those reached argumentative-
Iy by the Republicans. 1t is the pa
triotic duty OF the Democracy to per-
feet and keep a permanent organiza-
ton and to make the public familiar
with its principles, which are those of
true Americanism.

Republican Party VIII Be
Tender and True to Trusts

TUST after his election William II.
Taft outlined his policy for the
- New York World. Among other
things he promised that the Republican
party would revise the tariff by impos-
ing a tariff duty which would make al
lowance for the difference between the
cost of production at home and the cost
of production abroad. And he particu-
larly stated that that cost of produc-
tom at home would include not only
the cost of material and the cost Of
labor, but also would take into con-
sideration a fair profit for the manu-
facturer, or interest on his capital, says
the Sacramento Bee.
He did not say, however, how much
profit he thought the manufacturer
