then the purchase of books becomes q
hardship. New books must be bought
and old ones cannot be sold or ex-
changed in the book stores. These
matters would not be likely to cause
comment or complaint in times of
prosperity, but when the times are
hard the parents feel the pinch of book
buying. and when books are changed
they resent the necessity for purchas-
ing new books, believing 1t to be an un-
necessary expense.
We hope the school board next term
will make every effort in ita power to
make and enforce rules which will
prevent controversy and will shield that
most deserving and hardworking class
of citizens, our earnest and self-sacri-
ficing school teachers, from criticism
by removing some OF the causes of
criticism and thus making 1t no longer

slightest degree with the general good

KIND WORDS

NITED STATES SENATOR
/ FRANK P. FLINT made a good
~ point when he said kind words
regarding the public men Of the nation
should be spoken when they are
alive as well as after they are dead.
Criticism of all kinds is indulged in,
especially in times of political excite-
ment and freedom of speech is some
times illustrated to an extent not con-
templated by the free speech pro-
visions Of the constitution.
There is an old saying to the effect
that hard words break no bones, but
they have been known to break repu-
tations, they have been known to break
a mans spirit, not infrequently they
break the moral law, and almost always
they break the golden rule. Senator
Flint at the Cleveland memorial meet
ing in the council chamber yesterday
said truly that Cleveland's whole life
exhibited an honesty of purpose and a
simplicity which should be followed by
our young men. Why, then, should an
exemplary citizen have been target
for abuse? Merely because he served
the nation by holding public office in
a manner which showed he regarded 1t
as a sacred public trust. No candi-
date now before the public has been
vilified as Cleveland was, and this
is sign OF improvement in public
morality. If the character or the rec
ord of a candidate shows he is UNFIT
for an office for which he is seeking
nomination. efforts should be made to
prevent his nomination. But NOM
ination by a great national convention
should not only be a high honor, in
itself making its recipient worthy OF
honor, but a satisfactory certificate OF
character, and candidates thus NOM
mated should be protected from de-
traction. The idea that it is proper to
make statements about public man
which one would not dare make to his
face in private life is ALL WRONG.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
SAN PEDRO HARBOR

+ ETTERS addressed to Senator Flint
by the commercial bodies of Los
- Angeles, Wilmington, Long Beach
and San Pedro make the formal state
ment that the lines established for San
Pedro harbor by the harbor board are
satisfactory to those bodies. Secretary
Taft told Senator Flint he would ap-
prove the harbor lines eff satisfactory
to the commercial bodies" Approval is
therefore certain. The Wilmington
board of trustees and chamber of com
merce have flied with Captain Fries,
who will forward them to washington,
resolutions approving the changes made
in the proposed harbor lines by the
board. 1t is not expected that the
change in the office of secretary OF war
made necessary by the nomination or
Secretary Taft for the presidency will
interfere with the harbor plans. Friends
of the project now believe the move
ment will be carried to its legitimate
conclusion, and that perseverance and
patriotism will have their reward in a
well equipped, safe, spacious harbor at
San Pedro, which will be in readiness
for the maritime development of Cali

the Orient, the growth of trade and

ing countries of the Pacific and the
completion of the Panama canal

SCHOOL COMPLAINTS

~ INCE The Herald published in the
p Letter Box a communication from
~ a woman who protested against
what she styled constant demands
upon parents" for extras inS the
public schools, The Herald has
received a great many letters on
the subject, most of whic.. it has not
been able to use. From the tone and
nature of the contents of all. 1t seems
to have been proved conclusively that
there is a constant demand upon
parents for extras" 1t is also proven
that children make gratuities and
teachers accept them. Moreover IL is
asserted by parents that at least one
teacher in Los Angeles did sell pic
lures to children. DR.. Moore made an
extended statement which was printed
in these columns, but this did not seem
to be satisfactory to large number of
parents, who continued to send letters.
The Herald has the assurance of the
school board that many of the acts
complained of constituted violations of
existing rules, which apparently had
been more or less winked at; and that
not only will the rules be enforced and
strictly adhered to during the rest of
the session but more stringent rules
will be adopted governing the giving of
gratuities, constant nagging Of chill
dren and other matters of school disci-
pline. The Herald realizes there Is a
great deal of justice in the claim that
school books are changed so frequently
that the price of new books is a tax
on the resources of all parents, ex-
cepting those in extra good financial
circumstances. In some states, where
good standard text books are retained
after being adopted, books may be
handed down from an older child to a
younger when the family is big. But
when books are changed so often that
the elder brother cannot give his to a

THE BIG CONTEST

nROOFS of the success of The Her
AIDS great $4,000 contest are
n abundant. 1t was O. winner. the
Herald is glad to think it has been
able to help the cause of education,
and citizens who have studied social
conditions and the prospects of future
prosperity agree with us that this is
the cause which cannot be helped too
much. The more the cause of local
education is helped the better the
cause of California is helped, and to
help the cause of California is to help
the cause of the United States. We
think The Herald has declared a pol
icy with regard to education which
may perhaps convey a suggestion to
citizenc who are sometimes at a loss
when they try to select suitable pres
ent for young friend What gift can
be better or greater or more practical
or more likely to be appreciated and
remembered than the gift of an edu-
cation? Such a present blesses the
giver, blesses the recipient and Is OF
value to the state, inaSmuch as 1t ele-
Yates citizenship. The appreciation OF
the efforts of The Herald in behalf OF
education which has been shown by
many citizens is gratifying. Liberty
produced the United States, but If 1t
were not for education. true lib
erty would be unknown Education
MUST continue to be the first consid-
Grafton in the United States if true,
sane liberty is to continue to be the
inspiring force of government.

CHURCHES HAVE
sTRAYED FROM TEACHINGS

SAN PEDRO. June 24.-lEditor
Herald: "Workingman" hits the nail
on the head in his answer to the ques-
ton, "Why do not workers go to
church?"
/ would go a step farther and ask
what have the churches OF today TO
offer to any broad-minded, thinking
person? They preach salvation
through Jesus Christ, but they repudi-
ate his teachings and don't even try
to follow in his footsteps. Jesus said,
.The kingdom of heaven is within
YOU" but they have tried to teach that
il is a place away off in space. Jesus
rebuked the publican for making long
prayers in public, and told his followers
how to pray. How have the clergy fol-
lowed his instructions? Jesus said,
ale that believeth on me, the works
that l do shall he do also. and greater
works than these shall he do" and
also, "Lo. 1 am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world" Why, then,
have we been told that Jesus words
were meant only for those few disciples
and for the short period of time that
he lived on earth? Was he not the
Jesus rebuked sin, but he did not at
tack the beliefs or opinions of others.
AT a Sunday evening service attended
recently the speaker attacked spiritual
ism, theosopphy and Christian Science
in a most insulting manner. Now, i
know very little about any of these,
but their doctrines can be no more
ridiculous than some OF MS own
church, and no minister, or laymanI
either, has any right to ridicule the
religion of another Everyone has al
right to his opinion and everyone Is
liable to change his opinion In the

SHOULD BE NO UNEMPLOYED
UNDER A BETTER SYSTEM

Los ANGELES, June 25.-[Editor
Herald: 1t is funny how people, will
misunderstood the plainly written
word. At least, that is what Mr.. Rob-
bins has done in his letter or today.
The church as a whole has not done
more for the working class than the
trades unions, for in those countries
where the power of the church is SUI
preme and trades unionism is not, the
worker is in a more pitiable condition
than where trades unionism exists.
AS to what the Rev. Mr.. Bartlett did
during the panic or Rev. J. @. A. Henry
said in his "Civic Righteousness"
speech is nothing to my main conten-
ton. The best that Mr.. Bartlett was
able to do is but patching UP the effects
of q bad system. Why, in one week,
Mr.. Robbins, when the Rev. Bartlett
obtained temporary jobs for 300 idle
men, the Southern Pacific threw out
upon the market 500 of it's employees
The first 300 were benefited to the ex-
tent of the length of their jobs. but
how about the 800 who lost theirs?
Here is my point, Mr.. Robbins, which
you do not seem to catch. II Christian
ity interpreting the same to mean liv-
ing up to the Golden Rule) were prac-
ticed, there would be no unemployed
upon the market at all. Nor need there
be! Nor will there be when men come
to consider that human life is moro
sacred than the dollar.
AS Count Tolstoi says, "The masters
seem to be willing to do everything in
the world for the laboring classes but
get off their backs,' and that is the
only thing necessary for them to do
that, and allowing the people to own,
control and operate collectively the
public utilities of the world, by which
we mean the democratic management
of affairs by all the people.
