A CASE FOR SYMPATHY

MO MATTER what attraction or
v distraction may engage its atten-
\ tion an American public has al
ways time and opportunity for human
sympathy when sympathy is needed,
and rarely has it been the melancholy
duty of newspapers to chronicle a sad
der chase than that of the accidental
death of little Vincent and Joseph
Senatro, who were killed by a freight
car in the Southern Pacific stock yards.
Excited over the visit of the fleet, they
were returning from a shopping expe-
dition with their mother, who had been
buying patriotic decorations, when a
car, the approach of which had been
unheeded, crushed them to death before
their mothers eyes. Mysterious and
awe-inspiring, indeed, are such calam-
tiles, such massacres of the innocent
But "ours not to reason why" 1t is
best to accept am live up to the phil
osophy of the Orient, recorded in one of
the oldest books in the world:
Though He slay me, yet will put my
trust in Him"

STILL PRESIDENT

A n THE END of his term President
n Roosevelt will still be President
"A Roosevelt. According to a report
which from circumstantial and internal
evidence may be deemed to be true he
intends to make a tour of the world,
and on his return to the United States
enter upon his life work, the presidency
of a great national university which
will be founded at Washington by An
drew Carnegie of Skibo castle, Scot
land, and Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
1t is not extraordinary that Scots
man is to give the United States the
first university which will be definitely
associated with America and Ameri-
canism, for both are second nature"
to the Scot. The proposed institution
will add greatly to the stability of the
nation. 1t will not only educate young
men and women-for we presume 1t
will be o-educational-but will CEN
tralize and conserve American princi-
pies, and give them a local habitation
as well as a name Rich in promise for
the future welfare of our great and
we'll beloved land is this announcement
regarding President Roosevelt's plans
and the influence of that beneficent
genius, Carnegie, in shaping them. Mr..
Roosevelt by profession and training is
a historian. He Is a good statesman
because he appreciates current events
in their relation to history. 1t is now
reasonably certain that at last the
study of history will receive it's proper
place in the educational life of the ma
ton. Let us hope and expect from the
university presided over by Theodore
Roosevelt, LII. D., a series of publica-
tions giving in popular, readable form
an accurate history of the country, po-
litical, social and religious. Such his
tory could and should be compiled from
abundant contemporaneous records,
which may be obtained by anyone who
can defray the expense. 1t will take
money and trouble to collect the data
and documents which are scattered all
over the United States, some deposited
in public institutions, some in the pos
session of private citizens, but to gather
them together and tell truthfully and
completely the story of the nation is
task which must be performed by some
body. President Roosevelt of the Ma
tional University, Washington, is the
man

CABINET CHANGE

TT IS announced that after July /
Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of
= state, will become secretary of war.
as Secretary Taft wishes to retire re
gardless of the outcome Of the national
convention and for reasons that are
said to have nothing to do with politics.
Mr.. Bacon is one of President Roose-
velt's warmest personal friends 1t may
therefore be expected that President
Roosevelt's policies will continue to be
carried out in the war department. In
deed, we may without prejudice and in
nothing but a spirit of fairmindedness
hazard the guess that after July l
President Roosevelt will. so to speak,
personally superintend that depart
ment. There is nothing in this to which
any reasonable person could object.
But much adverse criticism of the pres
ident's proposed appointment may be
anticipated, because of Mr.. Bacon's
close connection with the firm of ]. p
Morgan & Co. There may be no ground
for this criticism, but there are many
patriotic Americans who object to some
of Mr.. Morgan's business methods. and
who may not relish the idea of giving
powerful cabinet berth to one of
"Morgan's men," Human beings are
human beings We are all fallible.
There are easily imaginable circum-
stances under which the fact that
secretary of war enjoys confidential re-
la tions with one of the worlds greatest
financial firms might be of inestimable
benefit to that business firm. We be-
lieve thoroughly in the honesty integ--
rity and uprightness of the gentleman
who may be Taft's successor, but there
are many worthy citizens to whom the
thought of any direct association be-
tween the government of the United
States and the house of j. P. Morgan
&, Co. of New York, Z. S. A, and DreX-
el, Morgan & Co. of London, England,
is extremely distasteful. We will never
find a Cincinnatus in the United States
if we confine our selections of RESPONSE
BILE government officials to men who are
more or less rich in this worlds goods,
and the day may come when Cincin-
natus may be needed by the nation.

NOT ENGLISH

WITH a reckless disregard of con-
wv sequences some esteemed con-
temporaries state that the "am-
bassador from England" James Bryce,
and another distinguished English
man." Professor George Adams Smith,
will deliver, alternately the Edwin T.
Earl lectures N Berkeley. Professor
Bryce is a Scotsman who was born in
Ireland while his parents were visiting
friends there. Professor Smith is
member of the faculty of the United
Free Church college, at Glasgow, Scot
land. Both these learned English
men" talk with broad Scotch accents,
are devoted friends and admirers of the
United States, and are never angry un-
less when they are called English or the
land of their sires is confounded with
the land that it licked. early and often,
and which, according to Lord Rose
berry, it can lick again, if necessary.
We appeal to the newspapers of Cali
fornia not to make life miserable for
the splendid Scotch Irish ambassador
and the great Scottish professor by
calling them English" If you cannot
say Scotch, or Irish, or Scotch-Irish
why can't you say British? Great
Britain and Ireland are the principal
islands of the group generally called
British isles" In addition to the two
big islands, there are about 200 little
isles in the group. To call them all
English" or their inhabitants Eng
lishmen" is absurd.

GAMBLING is DOOMED

NITY PROSECUTOR WOOLWINE'S
aggressive activity in the en-
~ forcement of the Fleming ordi-
nance is illustrated in the business
like manner in which he closed three
bucket shops owned by one man and
the clearing house in the Ramona
block. where quotations We're received
and doctored. Mr.. Woolwine holds that
by the Fleming ordinance marginal
gambling on stocks, bonds. grain and
provisions is PROHIBITED, and he
will prosecute all persons who persist in
such gambling, and will enforce both
in spirit and letter the anti-bucket
shop law. Judge Wilbur's decision in
the J. w. Scott case, upholding the
of the anti-bucket
shop ordinance, cleared the deck for
action, and there will be action"
Gambling will be driven out of Los
Angeles.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

I'VE DO not believe any representa-
w tive or senator or any holder of
W any office great or small in the
United States has any right to say
publicly that friendly power must be
whipped. little dispatch in which
Representative Hayes of California is
quoted as having intimated that the
important duty of clicking" Japan must
fall on the United States is much more
significant and Important than the
casual reader may realize until he puts
on his thinking cap. When he does
that it will dawn upon him that the
remark of MIR. Hayes, if correctly
quoted. is a mischief maker. In all
probability it is already being repro
duced in Japan, with all the additions
and ornamentations of which the Jap
anese yellow and jingo press is capable.
At this critical moment. when Cali
fornia is welcoming a powerful Ameri-
can fleet to the shores of the American
Pacific, a congressman who will GER
tainly be referred to in Japanese or
gans as an American official and
spokesman for the government, says in
the most positive way that we must
make war upon the principal Oriental
power. Nay, he uttered the remark as
If war were a foregone conclusion, as
if arrangements had already been made
and plans completed, for he made his
lingo announcement Immediately after
I. Trr1a a
had had a conversation with President
Roosevelt. The japanese papers will
undoubtedly put two and two together
and say Mr.. Hayes was speaking in
the warmth of the presidents inspira-
ton; nay, that he was his spokesman.
Most of the war talk has been cheap,
and the Japanese who have professed
to disregard it did not take it too serl-
ously, although it must have troubled
them some what. But this Washington
dispatch puts new aspect on the case
If the government has made up its
official mind that war with Japan is
certainty then a certainty it Is, be-
cause the government as a rule is an
accurate prophet of it's own purposes
and programs. But was Representa-
tive Hayes speaking as Representative
Hayes or as a private citizen? Was he
echoing the president, from whom he
had parted only few minutes before,
or was he making remarks and uttering
original with Representa-
tive Hayes? On these points Presi-
dent Roosevelt can enlighten the ma
ton, and ne should.

HERALD STILL LEADS

Y OS ANGELES HERALD
made a splendid showing
II yesterday in quality and
quantity of contents. The Times
with twenty-eight pages had 1872
headed items of news, and the
Examiner with twenty pages
published 1913. But The Herald
with fourteen pages printed 181
items. It's local service was COM
plete and abundant and the news
of the United States and the
world was supplied by the Asso-
ciated Press. No newspaper in
the United States gave a better
and more reliable account of the
doings and transactions of all
mankind all over the world than
did The Herald. This excellent
news service, local, domestic and
foreign, will be kept up steadily,
and not even during the crowded
DAYS of the fleets visit will gen.
eral news be sacrificed to the spe-
cial news feature provided by the
fleet, although competent, high
ly trained and experienced staff
of writers, artists and photog-
raphers will tell the story of the
naval celebration in graphic de-
tail with abundant illustration.

distinguished for moral bravery While
on shore leave. Their behavior at san
Diego could not have been improved
upon They had the freedom or the

a crowd of roysterers, who believe they
may disturb the peace with impdnity
The moral standard of the officers and
men of the american navy has always
been high and they have always lived
up to it. We may we'll be proud of the
achievements of the navy in what may
be called the line of its professional
duty, but peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war, and one of
the greatest victories is self control
when exhibited by the men of fight
ing fleet Miss Los Angeles welcomes
her sailor boy all the more heartily
and escorts him ashore all the more
proudly because she knows he is good
citizen as well as a capital seaman
and a first rate fighting man. This
morning the sixteen ships under the
command of Rear Admiral Thomas will
hoist anchor and steam northward to
the ports of Los Angeles. Here officers
and men will be received with joy and
enthusiasm, and their visit will be the
occasion of a celebration which for
whole heartedness and unanimity will
long be remembered by them, by the
citizens, by the nation and by the ma
tions of the world. The greatest city on
the Pacific will give the greatest navy
in the world the greatest welcome it
has ever had! Three cheers for the red,

PATRIOTIC SUGGESTION

d" ERE is a fine. patriotic suggestion
III by a Chicago matron. She says
IL the school children of the United
States should be taught and trained to
salute policemen. Every officer on
duty could. make himself one of the
most saluted men on earth by strolling
in the neighborhood of schoolhouse
shortly before the ringing of the morn
ing bell, or at recess, or at dismissal.
Proud indeed would be Patrolman
O'Rafferty. who came over by the De-
vonia a few weeks ago, having heard
that America was short of policemen
and oversupplied with bomb droppers;
proud indeed would he be when hun
dreds of the sons and daughters of his
new fellow countrymen halted in their
racing and chasing to give him a
salute exactly like the salutes given
to generals OF armies. How would his
mightiness in blue ACKNOWLEDGE 1t?

make the lessons in patriotism con-
veyed by salutes to policemen even

dipped three times and the school band
should play "See the Conq'ring Copper

I stood on a spit of barren land-a gift or
the gray seas store,
where the dunes were black 'gainst the sea
at their back and white 'gainst the land
before
And a boat beat out through the gloom ana
the glow to meet the rush OF the tloes
Sorry her sails to meet the sea, and the foul
hung green on her sides;
Her spars tore Jagged against the Sky anu
she left no wake behind
And her grim-faced crew were gaunt ana
glad, and the man at her helm was
blind
And 10. ON the spit were many men, and
they Knocked at the boat | saw
They jeered at its rows Of rotten spars anu
its crew that knew no law:
For the speech of that crew was Oh aieh
growth and none might understand,
And the ship was fraught with ioreie"
freight and bore to an unknown lano.
7 watched her slip through the gray ude-rip
to the toss of the tumbling sea
And lose herself in the fairway mist which
hid her sails from me.
And To- in that mist that her crew saw NOT
rose the loom and awful weight
or a wall--impassab grim and dark anu
pierced by thrice-barred gate:
ITS sheer-cut base felt the tug of the tidesi
its crest was the lightning's lair;
It's age was the age of the sins of men
which had laid its bastions there:
And the boat of the blind beat against tha'
gate and. shivered In dire distress
And its yawning timbers shattered ana
choked in the salt seas bitterness;
And the gate swung ajar in seeming pity TO
them who knew no lawi
And the moil Of the boat showed black anu
green4I knew that the helmsman saw.
The yreckage tumbled in with the SURF
churned by the changing spray;
And 10 the men who had Knocked were
eager to carry the wreck away:
Diligent long did they pace the beach anu
fashion the foam with their feet,
Treating as gold the broken spars theS
had scoffed with sullen heat;
Until OF the pieces, and other pieces num-
berless through long years
The men of the beaches built temple peer
