Can He Extinguish 1t?
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

~ ONSUL GENERAL MASON sends
over a report from France that
~ goes long way toward support
ing Postmaster General Meyers rec
concentrations regarding the establish
ment of postal savings banks in this
country. Here is a summary of the
report:
"The postal savings bank system
was established in France in 1881,
there are 5000 of them in operation,
there are 100000 depositors and the
total sum of the deposits $240, 1000,
an average of $50 for each depositor.
The government limits each person to
a deposit of $3.50; nothing in excess of
that sum will be carried on deposit for
any individual. 1t is, therefore, only
persons whose money savings are small
that confine themselves to the postal
banks, and it can be imagined that
these government institutions are
training schools which educate the
people to transfer themselves and their
larger savings to the government
banks and the branches of the Bank
of France. The non-government saw
ings banks have deposits aggregating
$3.50, 900, ,0OO'
This indicates s24O,O0OOOO in circu-
lation in France that will not be re-
tired at the first sign of panic.

SAN JOSE MERCURY HAS NO
QUARREL WITH ROOSEVELT

And only lately it has leaked out that
his idea is, in the event of Tafts failure.
TO step into the breach himself and
walk off with the prize.
The Mercury has no quarrel with Mr..
Roosevelt 1t admires his dauntless
courage and believes in his personal in
tegrity. 1t believes, too that while he
has made mistakes like other men, on
the whole his service to the country
has been for its eventual good But 1t
cannot bring itself to believe that the
third term idea is wholesome or In
harmony with the principles of demo-
cratic government. Neither Washing
ton nor Jefferson believed it, and
neither would accept a third term for
that reason. Ours is not dynastic
system by which one man is enthroned
for all time whether the people want
1t or not, but a government of the peo-
pie and for the people, whose right ii
is to change their president whenever
they believe it In tie interests or the
nation so to do. To permit any man
to remain in the White House for al
most three full terms is to establisn
dangerous precedent, particularly
that man be an adroit politician ana
skilled in the manipulation of the vast
patronage at his disposal during an in
cumbency of twelve years. Besides,
the Republican party IL not poor in
available material for the high ONCE or
president. Give some one of the many
distinguished men who have earned the
honor chance to enjoy 1t In their
turn.
we still believe that pressure will be
brought to bear on Mr.. Roosevelt, II
really such a thing is in his mind, to
abdicate in favor of some other good
man. 1t is not a question OF whether
or not he would win, but question or
policy, of principle. We hope the con-
vention will take this view. ana tnat
Mr.. Roosevelt will come to see 1T in the
LIGHT

GERMANY A MENACE

n abb HIRSCH, in a recent ad-
II. dress. said Germany has become
~ a menace to the peace of the en-
tire civilized world. Why? Because
that nation has lent a willing ear to
doctrines denying the equality of man.
These doctrines" said the rabbi, "are
the offspring of selfish and ungodly
minds" He asks America to remember
the example of Washington and Lin
coin, because the nation can never die
If their example is honored and fol-
lowed. In a word he eXhorted his
hearers to return to the first principles
of Americanism anc. to avoid Teuton-
ism or any other form of narrowing
and interfering heresy. Americanism,
please remember, is an established doc
trine 1t was revolutionary to begin
with, but it is today conservative, and
the reactionaries in Europe and else
where who are endeavoring to put
brakes on the wheels of progress aro
tempting fate.
Americanism asserts doctrines that
Germany denies and to which Britain
gives partial assent. Why only par
tial? Because ages of class privilege
have there produced class prejudice
which. rock-ribbed and time-defying,
may yet have to be blasted" out of
the way.

The Village Cut Up

If friend starts to tell you a story
about how cleverly a man worked a
certain building, flag him right there.
Here's the story as it's going around
town:
"A fellow worked the Steenth Ra-
tional Bank building to frazzle yes
terday.'
Eyes, how was that?" (from the vic
tim.)
'You know have my office there.
They don't allow anyone in there SELL
ing things'-runs the tongue of the
cut up.
This gink drops in and calls you
by name and before you know what's
doing along the strand he has a cute
little order book out and you are on.
Why, that smooth one sold eighteen
offices there and got away with it be-
|. fore they were wised up. This with
great verve and swing. Your curiosity
is piqued and you fall quick and hard.
"What did he sell?" you butt in,
and in the same breath gasp. for you
know you're stung.
"Earmuffs Cor something like that
for Teddybears."

STUDENTS AND SENATORS
UNIVERSITY debate in Los An
n geles threshed out the important
AA subject of Senatorial Election

UNIVERSITY debate in Los An
~ geles threshed out the important
"a subject of Senatorial Election"
One party of juvenile orators held that
United States senators should be elected
by the people. Another held that the
present system was best. The decision
was left to members of the faculty,
who gave the palm to the conserva-
tives. Many auditors sympathized with
the defeated progressivistsI and if the
decision had been left to popular vote
they would have won by a large ma
jority. 1t is possible that this picture
in the little world of a university may
be a reflection in miniature of condi-
tions in the big world outside. The
young Americans who took part in the
debate gave sarcastic descriptions of
the persons who make up the United
States senate today and asked whether
by any stretch of the imagination they
could be said to represent the people Of
the United States. 1t was alleged that
many of the senators represent merely
the moneyed interests of the United
states, lIlal lHSy are lOldlly OuI VI sS III
pathy with the country, and that in
consequence, although there are un-
doubtedly patriotic and conscientious
senators, there are so many who are
not in accord with the general in.
terest that reformation of the august
deliberative body" is as pressing
as is reformation of another august
deliberative body, the house of lords.
Both the house of lords and the United
States senate represent the same idea.
They stand for the theory that there
are some men whose brains, by reason
of the rank or fortune of their possess
sors, are better than the brains of
common men, and are therefore entitled
to supervise and hold in check the work
of the brains of common or vulgar
mon
Los Angeles herald., 1908-02-27

after all-that is, If Taft does not get
it on the first ballot, the delegates will
stampede to Roosevelt. On Chestnut
street, in one of the windows of large
store, is a notice asking all those who
favor the nomination of Roosevelt to
step in and sign q petition. The petit
tions are hung in the window, and are
at least ten feet long, fuor or five OF
them, and closely written with names,
over 5000 already This at least is a
straw showing the way the wind is
blowing, and 1t will be strange If the
movement is not extended to other large
cities, so that by the time the conven-
tion meets the Roosevelt guns VIII be
cooked and primed for action, says the
San Jose Daily Mercury.
Some one may say that Mr.. Roose-
welt has thrice denied all intimations
that he would be a candidate for re-
election and that his support of Taft
is proof of his sincerity. Very true, but
Mr. Roosevelt is human, besides he is
noted for his much speaking, as we'll as
being particularly adept at withdraw
ing from uncomfortable positions. 1t
may be that before convention day ne
will regret his thrice-repeated declara-
tion and, ito save his country" agree
to disagree with his early convictions,
perhaps formed quickly and for the
purpose of getting a line on his stand
ing with the people. No one was ever
known to know just what the president
knows he knows, or what tremendous
thing he is liable to do when his muscle
is barred for conflict. But one thing is
pretty generally recognized, viz, that
he has played every string within his
reach-in behalf of his friend, Mr.. Taft

THE HOMELESS

IN VEN big New York, Greater New
II, York" is puzzled by the problem
- Of caring for thirty thousand
homeless men. Some of them are mere
ly vags-human beings who do not be-
lieve that man was made to work
They represent the lower order of para
sites in the community. But among
the thirty thousand are many who are
not parasitical by nature and to whom
the lack of work is morally as well as
financially and physically a cause oi
distress. Man was created to work
He has the work instinct in him. II
may be true, as some have asserted
that labor is a curse, yet maroonec
or castaway sailor begins to look fol
an occupation as soon as he realizes
his condition; hunts for work for him
self. creates occupation for himself. fol-
he knows that idleness means menta
decline and physical death.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
HERRIN MEN REBUKED

MUCH to the qualification of the
WI RooseVelt-Lincoln league, which
49, had been expecting more sinuous
and devious courses, the lineup in the
Republican county committee at San
Francisco announced itself with frank
ness. and the noses of the Taft and
anti-Taft members can be counted
Nine who wear the political uniform
of the machine put themselves on rec
ord in opposition to the Big Bills boom.
But eighteen carried the Endorsement

1t seems to be apparent that the Her
rim machine has no intention of aiding
the cause of Secretary Taft. But the
"smoke-out" discloses the weakness of
the mahcine bosses, who have lost all
their terrors for the Lincoln-R Roosevelt
league. The word terrors is used rhe-
torically We are we'll aware that the
leaguers are dauntless.
The public declaration of lack of con-
fidence will be disturbing to. the ma
chine, nor will the serenity of that en-
gine of politico-railroad manipulation
be added to by the knowledge that
twenty of the thirty-six members of
the county committee are desirous Of
throwing off the yoke of Herrin and
will aid the Lincoln Roosevelt league.
Here is another instance of the fact
that the moral influence of candidate
may have a demoralizing effect on the
calculations of organizations that, as
far as their leaders are concerned. are
composed of men who are nothing
more nor less than schemers. The
word is neither pretty nor polite, but
we cannot apologize for it. The United
States may we'll congratulate itself on
the fact that Difference to the personal
influence of a citizen who represents
moral as we'll as merely physical force
will inevitably adjust conditions and
thwart the most deeply laid plans of
agencies detrimental to the best pub
lie interests and the highest interests
of the republic. The Lincoln-Roosevelt
league is in itself already a definite
political power, and when it's appeals
to patriotism conflict with appeals to
pocket, to prejudice, or to political par
tisanship of the narrower kind, which
views momentous campaigns merely as
parts of big game in which the moves
may be manipulated by adroit en-
gineering, the issue almost invariably
is one that may be expected and fore
told with confidence.
Human nature has not outgrown its
reverence for principle, and the wiliest
political Napoleon has been waterlooed
oftener by one cause than by any other
the cause to which old Abe Lincoln
had reference when he said that you
could trust the people, and it was
much wiser TO trust them than to at
tempt to fool them. Nothing is more
interesting to the analytical political
observer than to watch the response of
human nature from time to time to
the promptings of that higher power
called by Matthew Arnold that force,
not ourselves, which makes for right
eousness."
