FEELS CERTAIN GOVERNMENT
SHOULD EMPLOY UNEMPLOYED

REDLANDS, Dec. 18.-[Editor Her
add: A gentleman signing himself
"G' f." says that labor has no valid
claim on capital. This is true 80 far
as the laws of the country are con-
cerned, but in sense of Justice 1t
should be from the fact that labor
combined with capital produces capt.
tai, and, as a rule, does not receive its
just reward.
Most capitalists make more from the
laborers wages a day than the la
borer makes. Most laborers, If they
have families, make only enough to
buy food and clothing and pay rent.
How, then, can man save anything
to become an investor in cooperative
business?
Take my own case, for instance. I
earn So a day, and have for the last
two years. l pay Sill month for a
small two-roomed furnished house,
which is the best I can do, being UNI
able to buy furniture and rent a
cheaper house.
have not saved a cent in that time,
and have even gone in want of things
that one necessarily needs. Yet I live
about as cheaply as it is possible for
workingman to live.
If this government was doing what
1t should by the poor and homeless 1t
would tax capital to raise a beneVo-
lent fund for the poor and homeless,
and colonize the same on some of the
vast tracts of unimproved land in this
and other states.
This, in my opinion, would stem the
tide of Socialism about as quick as
any other method that might be de-
Vised, and unless something of the
kind is done l fail to see anything but
Socialism as the inevitable result. not
many years hence, as the unemployed
are getting more numerous, as are the
homeless.
Let the government practice the
Golden Rule If 1t would save the
country from Socialism.

SHOWS HOW ADDED LAWS
MAY YET REDUCE LAWS

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19.-[Editor
Herald: Your correspondent, II. L..
Cuthbertson, is right in standing for
the discussion of fundamentals in the
Letter Box. Those people who think
we had better "dissect the froth" of
individual interests are not so "prac-
ticaP' as they claim.
Mr. Cuthbertson, however, hardly
states the case justly in describing it
as one between those who would abol-
ish law and those who would add to"
the laws-seeing that Socialism, with
its few radical legislative innovations,
would throw into disuse and set us for
ever free from the vast burden of cap
italistic law. WALTER.

SHERMAN'S SUCCESSOR IN

upon him as a result of the recent cleo

San Francisco, where he has made n
number of public appearances and
made sufficiently emphatic utterance5
on national subjects to attract more

Champ Clark is described as a Zion
with hipprodrome roar, who never
bites" This hardly does him justice.
There is nothing hippodromish in the
roar of man who can say of Presi-
dent Roosevelt: After the manner of
strong men, he has pronounced virtues
and glaring faults of character. I have
never abused him. 1 have never grown
hysterical in admiration of him. When
he is right I support him cordially
When he is wrong I fight him tooth
and toe nail"

Commission Suggested

A subsection of President Roosavelts
country life commission is now in ses-
sion in Richmond. We have known
country life in Virginia intimately and
well for a number of years. To our

the need of a commission to show Old
Dominion farmers how to live as there
is for commission to teach Roosevelt
how to mind his own business.-Nor-

One of the greatest examples of the
triumph of mind over the restrictions

that of any other of the sixty-five can
didates examined by the state board

Americans who have visited in Japan
assert that there is only the l1indest

they further assert that this often

day and age between two civilized
nations is as absurd as for neighbors
to fall out and fight about nothing
