FlNANclERs ARE GRADUATED
FROM KENO AND FARO GAMES

LOS ANGELES, July 15.-[Editor
Herald: On what grounds do we base
our claim to superior civilization and
good government when the poor man
is taxed to the limit of his abilities to
procure the common necessities of life
that such conditions impose? For
months the ships of all nations, except
our own, have their prows pointed to
these shores under full head of steam
and sail to beat the new tariff, and this
will make nice additional revenue for
the over rich from the common people,
who are now compelled literally to walk
on money, being forced to pay So for a
pair of shoes that few years back
could be bought for $3.50; $50 for $50
suit, and everything else in proportion.
A 10 per cent raise in prices cannot be
made to balance with a 10 per cent
raise in salary.
Our endless chain financiers are send
ing their illgotten gains OF millions
abroad, buying up vast estates and
high sounding titles against future
and expected retribution from their
countrymen, and importing cheap labor
boldly in contravention of our laws; our
good material is sold to foreign ports
and cheap junk imported for home
markets. The tin-horn gambler has
graduated from the keno and faro bank
to the upper circles of finance, but his
methods are the same and his per-
centage greater. He Is also wondering
to himself how long the people will
stand for his system, and will be ready
on twenty-four hours notice to decamp
with his loot; and yet it is quite pos
sible he may be reckoning without his
host, even on this seemingly short no.
tice of tWenty-four hours.

TRUST PRODUCTS BARRED

A BIG blow will be dealt the Beef
u Trust by strict obedience Of the
IA secretary of wars order debarring
all trust products from the army The
embalmed beef scandal is still remem-
bered-indeed, it neer forgot shall be
and PackingtoWn revelations did not
increase the reputation of the trust
among meat users. But it has never
been possible to exclude Beef Trust
products, embalmed or otherwise, from
the governmental supplies, because no
explicit order has heretofore been given
which would cause the rejection of a
product because it was trust made and
trust marketed
In plain language, if beef or other
supplies came up to standard, govern
mental officers did not inquire whether
they were furnished by trust-an
unlawful conspiracy in restraint of
trade"-or by an independent manufac-
turer or manufacturers agent
That the government should have
had any dealings with any trust while
the trust question was on trial before
the great national jury always has
been a cause of yexation TO honest
citizens, who have believed that after
all, the most practical wav of show
ing disapproval Of unrighteous busi-
ness methods is to have nothing what
ever to do with those responsible for
them. A man who told a merchant
he did not like his ways, but con-
tinued to trade with him, would not
be half as apt to cause a reform in
the methods of the merchant as Gus
toner who told him to close his ac-
count as he would have to do business
with another house. To exclude trust
products from the army is one Of the
most practical blows ever aimed at the
trust iniquity. 1t viii give independent
shoe and leather merchants and shoe
makers and independent butchers a
better opportunity Of making little
money than they have enjoyed in many
a long day. Let US hope this may be
the beginning of a new era of square
dealing and of fair play for every
body,

INDUSTRIALISM

| N TEADILY prosperous, the oil in
~ dustry of California continues to
~ be q source of wealth for this
wonderful state which has more nat
ural wealth than any other in the
Union. The oil output for June was
not under 100000 barrels, the largest
in the states history, despite a decline
in the coast fields. Oil will assist in
developing industrialism in this state.
Oil will help make Los Angeles the
metropolis of the west. 1t provides
isfactory fuel
The wealth of Los Angeles and of
California will be added to greatly by
the completion of the Owens river
aqueduct. This will give manufactur-
ers an abundant supply of electrical
energy, which, as is shown by COM
mon, everyday experience, is one of
the most economical and most easily
controlled forms of power.
San Pedro harbor and the Panama
freight route, with the assistance of
governmental steamship lines on both
coasts, will put an end to freight rates
gouging by the railroads. By the time
the Panama canal is completed and
is banding the two great oceans San
Pedro, the harbor of Greater Los An
geles, already will be the most -four
ishing seaport of the west. Upon the
completion of the Panama canal Los
Angeles will become one of the great
est maritime metropolitan cities of the
country, second only to New York
and, when Australasian trade has been
increased and the orient has been
peaceably opened and developed and
encouraged to practice commercialisn
and industrialism and not militarism,
second, venture to say, not even to
New York.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

n FFICERS of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
" have found by experience there is
no end to the varieties of torture IN
ficted by depraved human beings on
the brutes they control. Our oriental
population seems to have standards OF
right and wrong which differ from ours
In many respects but in none more
markedly than in the treatment of
animals.
1t would be foolish to impose extra
severe punishments on the cruel Chi
nese and Japanese for their barbarous
treatment of animals while we permit
our white men to oVerdrive cattle
sometimes staggering with thirst, to
lash horses pulling loads up hill, to
shoot cats and poison dogs Example
is better than precept, and no doubt
the oriental thinks the white man who
accuses him Of cruelty should mend his
own ways before criticising those of his
Asiatic neighbor
There is one animal to which the
Chinese are invariably kind. The ave-
rage Chinese takes better care of
horse than the average white man.
Horses owned by Chinese are almost
always fat and sleek and well fed.
Some horses driven and lashed cruelty
by white men would be better off If
dead than they are while alive and at
the mercy of tormentors. We regret
very much to have to make the state
ment there seems to be an unusual dis
regard for the rights of horses in Los
Angeles.
We wish the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals would inter
fere without delay to bring about re-
form in the use of whips and goads by
teamsters and teamsters boys in this
city. Some drivers of delivery wagons
and teaming wagons, especially in the
suburbs, are irresponsible youths who
think the proper method of driving
horse is to get s big and as cruel a whip
as possible and to lash the poor brute
as hard as they can. with swapping,
stinging blows that can be heard half
block away. Policemen and officers Of
the S. p. c. A. should protect the horses
of Los Angeles, many of which, we can
assure them. lead sorry lives, and by
young. reckless, irresponsible drivers
armed with instruments of torture are
treated cruelty HABITUALLY.

history of the world, has been built a

"it may be that the valley of our lady
has little to regret in the joy Of her
victories won. The old chivalry is gone,
but another chivalry has taken its
place. The stranger and the wanderer
are still welcomed at the open doors Of
a people who are also hospitable, gener-

SHOWS CONSTITUTIONS GIVE
FRANCHISE TO WOMEN

SOUTH PASADENA. July 14.-LEd-
itor Herald: In replying to the COM
munication of Curio in your issue OF
the 9th 1 will not attempt to prove
that the united ballot of men and
women would result in wiser or better
legislation than by the suffrage Of man
alone; will not attempt to remove
prejudice. But I wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that the exclusion of
women from a voice in making the
laws by which they are governed is
violation of the fundamental right
guaranteed by the federal constitution
and the constitution of California.
Taking it for granted that Curio is
a voter, a participant in governmental
affairs, and an honorable, laW-abldlng
man, loyal to constitutional law as TO
those of less Importance, l will call his
attention to the law as declared i'll
the constitution of our revolutionary
fathers and of the present time. The
preamble begins: I'VE. the people of
the United States" not we the men,
In section we find the same phrase:
THE house of representatives shall be
chosen by the people of the several
states" BY the people again. Article
4, section 2: 1.-The citizens of each state
shall be entitled to all the privileges
of citizens of the several states" The
fifteenth amendment declares: 1.-The
right of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged
on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude." And the con-
stitution of our own state, California,
is equally emphatic in favor of equal
rights. Section 20: Nor shall any
citizen or class of citizens be granted
privileges or immunities which upon
the same terms shall not be granted to
all"
I have space only to say in clos
ing, for further information on the
subject see Constitutional Argument
for Woman Suffrage" a pamphlet
which is distributed free from Social
ist headquarters.

SAYS GREAT REFORMS COME
FROM WITHOUT, NOT WITHIN

LOS ANGELES, July 16-[Edtor
Herald: History has nothing to do
with fancy. c. F.'s assertions cover too
wide a field, and require more than
the allotted space to answer clearly.
Reform means to change to a better
condition. In fact, to tear down and
remold or build up.
All great reforms come from without
and are accompanied with the sword or
gunpowder. Everything worth while
that the poor needed they have had 10
fight for. Law does not create NOR
ality, neither does religion purify NOR
ality
Great reforms come up and out or

their honest ignorance, been forced to

BROADWAY

T HERE is a Greater Broadway

wish to have Main street, between
Tenth street and Moneta avenue, re-
named Broadway. The suggestion has
net with approval from many people

If the suggestion is carried into
effect Broadway clubs and associations
