GOOD ROADS

n OND boosters should keep busy,
X because, although the success of
~ the good roads bonds election is
reasonably certain, there is nothing
more certain under the sun than the
uncertainty of human events, and over
confidence is as bad as lack of con-
fidence. Friends of good roads, even
when unconnected with any organiza-
ton, should engage in the missionary
campaign. There is little opposition
to the proposed bond issue, and it is
all of a nature which will yield to ex-
PLANTATION. Some worthy citizens have
become convinced, on account of the
natural activity of automobile interests,
that the good roads movement is main
lv for the benefit of owners or makers
OF automobiles. From the beginning
of the popularity of the automobile the
comment has been made frequently,
Thanks to automobiles, we shall soon

LIVERY now and then in recent
years the air seems charged with
IL rumors of the immortality and
lack of discipline in our state school
at Whittier.
Many serious minded people earnest
ly interested in the work of reforma-
ton are known to acknowledge the
utter inability of Whittier school to
reform under the conditions of man
agement which have prevailed.
The public has the right to know the
reasons for this inefficiency and the
time is now opportune for most thor
ough investigation and house cleaning.
G. C. Desmond, one Of the three trus-
tees, claims that the conditions at the
school are q disgrace to the state, a
burlesque on reform and an injustice
to those committed to its keeping.
Mr.. Desmond Is one of our most repu-
table and respected citizens, who has
given years of most valuable life to
the interests of our public charities and
is recognized by all the working forces
Of our charities as most unselfish, spar
ing in nothing that tends toward i'm
proving our social conditions. His
name is a synonym of good citizenship,
honorable business life and exalted per-
sonal integrity.
1t has been an open secret that many
of our court officials who have to deal
with youthful criminals have long
since lost faith in Whittier az 1t has
been managed.
A most searching investigation should
be made and all abuses should be mer-
cilessly routed out no matter what the
cost or who the persons found respon-

LAUDs BRYAN FOR EFFORTS
f TO CALL SCHOLARS TO ACTION

LOS ANGELES, July 14.-[Editor
Herald: If the American people had
no other cause for congratulating
themselves on the nomination of VIII
liam Jennings Bryan they should re-
ioice in 1t for the reason that at last
they have a most prominent public
man who is calling the scholars of the
country to the task they have so Woe
fully neglected. This Mr.. Bryan has
done not only in the single address to
which you call attention, but year in
and year out at the Chautauqua as
semblies, where he has been one of the
most faithful teachers.
Before the fall of the Roman empire
a literature that had attained its zenith
in form and style was occupying Itself
exclusively with the dry bones of
scholasticism. To day we have the
similar spectacle of a civilization faced
with the most urgent and difficult
problems, and the scholars whom it has
educated at the greatest expense pot
tering about either with insoluble
metaphysical problems or burrowing in
the ruins of the past to ascertain what
sort Of cup the Egyptians drank out
of five thousand years ago, or how the
Aztecs conducted their funeral cere-
monies.
The most serious questions OF the
comparative rights Of the COLLECTIVELY
and the individual-the latter appar-
emily threatened so gravely by the So
cialist propaganda-are crying aloud
for the attention of those who, as we
suppose. have been trained in habits
of exact thought, and they are dumb.
We ask them for the bread of the
knowledge wanted here and now. They
give us bricks from Assyrian tombs.

TALKS OF PLAN TO USE
MONEY TO ELECT REPUBLICAN

LOS ANGELES, July 14.-[Editor
Herald: In your Letter Box columns
of recent issue writer tells US what
we-the workers-owe to men with
fortunes.
Is it true that the capitalist has been
a necessity to rapid advancement of in
dustries and other large enterprises?
They have been great teachers by
bringing the workers together to &C.
complish things, such as our modern
steel buildings, steamships and rail-
ways, things the workers would not
have realized were possible for years
yet to come.
The capitalists have been paid well
for their services, and the time is
dawning when the workers will no
longer need them.
1 have often heard that ]. D. Rookie
Teller owed nothing to anyone for his
success but his own ability, as he
started poor. differ with people that
hold such an opinion. Single or indi-
vidual success is an impossibility.
He owes everything to the printers,
ink and paper makers, and teachers
that have all had their part in giving
him or others an education.
He owes to the prospector, the iron
miners, powder and fuse makers, in
ventors, foundry and timber men-all
have had their part in producing the
means OF Mr.. Rockefeller's success,
without which he could have accom-
plished nothing.
The farmers and all others owe their
prosperity to the workers, of which
they are but one.
The press says that corporations are
going to spend $110,000,000 in giving g.
100000 men work, and that they will be
expected to vote for Taft to show their
appreciation for such a huge expendi-
ture, and "the Taft smile is to battle the
land in prosperity
If the men are paid $3.50 per day
each, the $110,000.00O will last less than
twenty-four and half days, and each
mans portion will be less than $37.

N MEXICO the exclusion Of foreign
capital from the mining field,
Il which would be the probable re-
suit of a new law that has recently
been drafted, continues to be the sub
feet of much discussion. The Mexican
Herald opposes the adoption of the
measure and advances some strong
reasons against 1t. In a recent issue
the paper has the following to say on
the subject:
I'VE are absolutely convinced that
the enactment of such a law will pre-
vent foreign capitalists from making
large investments in the mining indus
try of this country for many years to
come, and that the exclusion of such
foreign capital would at the present
time work irreparable injury to the in
dustrial, commercial and banking inter-
ests of Mexico.
This belief is based upon a more
accurate knowledge than some of our
contemporaries possess of English and
american financial methods, of the
manner in which foreign companies are
organized and controlled, of the ways
and means by which large subscrip-
lions of capital are obtained in Eng
land and IN the United States of
America for carrying on large enter
prises abroad.
"This belief is also based upon the
fact that about a year ago a similar
policy was adopted in the department
of fomento under which 1t is declared
that no further grants of water rights
shall be made to a foreign company;

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
DENIAL INVITED
DOLCE COMMISSIONER cHAs. I

nOLICE COMMISSIONER CHAS. II.
FULLER, president of the Pioneer
Il Truck and Transfer company, is
publicly accused of being concerned,
through the company, in the owner
ship and with being practically part
owner of two houses of bad reputation
on Alameda street. We do not think q
police commissioner should allow such
an accusation to pass unchallenged,
undenied and unrebuked. We think
Mr.. Fuller must be boiling with indig-
nation, and If he should wish to ex-
press his sentiments with regard to his
detractors and deny their outrageous
accusation the columns of The Herald
are open to him.
We think it right the police commits
sion, which sanctions the arrest OF
wives and mothers, women whose repu-
tations are of the best, for violating a
city ordinance which they believe to be
unconstitutional, should be above re-
proach, and Mr.. Fuller is doubtless
eager to deny the assertions made and
denounce the persons who make them.
Furthermore, this matter is not
merely Commissioner Fuller's concern.
An dispersion has been cast upon the
fair fame OF the city by the statement
that one of it's higher officials, man
intimately associated with the proven
ton of crime and with the mainten-
ance of law and order in Los Angeles,
is also associated with an odious type
of law breaking immortality. The accu-
sation is one under which no self
respecting man will remain silent, and
we think Mr.. Fullers regard for him
self as well as for the fair fame of the
city which has honored him with official
position will prompt him to take the
course which duty suggests, nay, die
tates, and Immediately and explicitly
to deny the accusation.

REcREANr COUNCIL

A BSTRUCTION has won. Progress
has been sidetracked. The action
of the council yesterday made it
certain Los Angeles can have no new
charter for at least two years, unless
the people avail themselves Of the pro-
vision OF the state constitution which
says that when Is per cent of the voters
sign a petition asking that an amend
ment be submitted the council must
call a special election for that purpose.
1t is alleged that the defeat of the ordi-
nance calling a special election to
choose a board of freeholders is due to
the fact that some members of the
council thought it would be impossible
for them to chang on to their jobs" if
the manner of electing councilmen were
changed. The charter revision COM
mission will have to disband with a
record of labor in vain"
The members of the push" have sue

won a victory for Observation-Disclosures
same machine men, who were for
charter revision as long as they hoped
to be able to eliminate the recall and
referendum features, which were UNI
pleasing to them and did not accord
with their ideas OF correct politics
When they saw there was no hope that
the people would sanction the elimina-
ton of two features in the nature of
reforms or accessory to the work of
reform, they showed no scruples over
delaying for two years a project which
is Of vital Importance to Los Angeles.
Blanchard and Wren, the councilmen
who were absent, virtually voted

trial, where were these two worthless,
in whom the people have had the ut

Shortsighted Is Mexican
New Mining Policy and Law

and that under this policy it is almost
impossible to obtain capital in Eng
land or in the United States for the
development of large hydro electric UNI
dertakings in Mexico.
"This belief is also based upon rell-
able information as to the views which
are entertained in financial circles
abroad as to the immediate detrimental
effect which the adoption of the new
mining law will have in retarding, II
not altogether preventing, this class OF
mining investments in Mexico"
OF course the enactment of the pro-
posed law would cause regret in the
United States. and especially in Cali
fornia, much capital of residents of
this state being invested in mineral
properties in Mexico, says the san
Diego Union. AT the same time this
regret will not be solely because of
exclusion from the Mexican mining
field. There will be disappointment
should the sister republic adopt pol
icy that must be regarded as narrow
and reactionary. However, not all the
people on this side of the line would
be sorry to see Mexico bar American
capital from her mines. Should that
step be taken there would be more
money seeking investment in mineral
properties in this country. The truth
is that Of late years Mexico has had
the call among mining men. Many a
deal involving an American property
has come to naught because the in
ventor concluded that there was bet
ter opportunity for his capital below

Calls for an Investigation
of the School at Whittier

sible for their existence or continuance.
1t is question beyond any political
question or any expediency or ambition
of individuals. According to all ac-
counts it is now a question of morality
and inefficiency and the state cannot
afford for q fraction of a second to al
low the suspicion of immortality to lie
in or around about any of its institu-
lions.
Let the governor order the probe to
be inserted and rid Whittier school
from the scandals which are said to
find shelter under its roof.
Mr.. Desmond claims to have evidence.
Let us have it all without fear or
favor.
This state is willing to give gener-
GUS appropriations for the reformation
of youthful criminals, but 1t should not
be asked to tolerate as an official in
such institutions any one who is In
competent or whose character is not be-
yond reproach.
Moral he1pfulness is demanded by the
poor unfortunates committed py fne
court to this school, and that is not
possible from lives out of touch with
moral integrity of life. Governor Gillett
is a man who will not tolerate such
abuses as are said to prevail in Whit
tier school.
Mr.. Desmond deserves we'll OF our
state for the courage which has led
him to face the difficulty in the spirit
Of his conscientious obligation as trus-
tee. All good citizens must demand
fair and complete investigation and
prompt and proper punishment of all
responsible for the abuses which may

Maxim, the inventor. I'VE shall

and in the wars of the future we shall
have our aerial battleships, cruisers.
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy

craft, indeed, compared with the grim
steel monsters of the sea, but the ex-
plosives they will be able to drop will

means they will be able to destroy
property and MAIN and kill human
beings. If this is the ultimate aim
of the invention and perfection of air
ships it would have been better for
mankind If the conquest of the air had
never been dreamed of. Human nature
is hopeless if it cannot make any in
vention without associating it with
murder and beginning to think of ways
and means by which 1t can do most
mischief and destroy most life. Bible
students are not surprised when they
read the Lord expressed profound re-
