PENSIONS

hlSCUSSION of the old age pen
sions of the United Kingdom
has led to an inquiry in the
United States, the results of which
would seem to indicate the public
service might be improved If a PEN
sion plan were adopted. Opponents of
pension have had a great deal to say
about the difficulties that would at
tend its introduction in the United
States, but have entirely overlooked
its most important feature-the Ger
tainty 1t would have a tendency to
add greatly to the efficiency Of the
public and all other service.
There are numerous men working
for salaries in the United States who
would be glad to quit and make way
for younger men eager for employ
ment if the old age pension law made
it certain to quit would not mean des-
titution. In the government service
are many clerks who might be classed
as superannuated. Senator Perkins
has prepared a bill to increase the
national pension list by making pro-
vision for retiring these public serv-
ants on pensions He claims they are
as much entitled to pensions as SOL
diers are. In California alone are 1874
government clerks between the ages of
so and $50 or over" There are 19S of
these clerks who are between the ages
of so and 64 there are 109 whose ages
range from 65 to SO; there are 81 who
are 70 to IA years old; twenty from rs
to 70 and who are so or over.
A new special" pension list will
meet with violent opposition, because
it will discriminate unfairly in favor
of government employees and against
equally Woodworking citizens who are
not on Uncle Sans pay rolls. Many
citizens will ask, If we provide an old
age pension for government employees,
why not extend the principle and es-
tablish an old age pension fund for
all the men who do the work of the
American nation?

PREDATORY WEALTH CAUSES
DECREASE IN BIRTH RATE

PASADENA, June 5.-[Editor Her
adj: Replying to an editorial appear
ing in The Herald June g. entitled
Destiny or Doom,' in which it was
stated that the birth rate in the United
States had fallen off 25,000,0 900 in the
past decade, the writer begs to say that
the estimate is startling and bodies
American civilization no good and be-
lieves it is largely due to the great in
crease in the cost of living for the poor
and middle classes to maintain the in
ordinate greed of the ayaricious rich.
In the past fifteen years the increased
cost of living makes 1t almost prohib-
itory for a poor or middle-class man to
maintain family in reasonable respec-
liability with any hope of accommodating
a reasonable competency for old age.
Further realizing that greed and graft
are on the increase, respectable poor and
middle-clas people begin to seriously
hesitate about bringing more little ones
into this world to become the slaves of
the captains of corporate greed and
graft And what's the result? Mil
lions of young men are required to per-
form the labor of the country, Ameri-
cans not raising sufficient children to
supply the demands; the scum of the
earth imported for cheap labor to swell
the overflowing Golfers of the greedy
rich; men who think far more of silver
and gold than good government; the
Rockefellers, Rogerses. Harrimans and
Pattens constituting much graver
menace to our American institutions
than all of anarchy's Reds, Mosts and
Goldmans
Give the consumer square deal, "
cut the price of living in half where
it should be if regulated by justice,
Supply and demand" and you will
see soon the birth rate in America go
forward with leaps and bounds until it
will not be necessary longer to import
the scum of southern Europe to per-
form American labor and lower our
high standard of civilization and home
life Now we have good rich men in
this country also immigrants from
southern Europe. But let predatory
wealth proceed with its present pill
fering and plundering propaganda of
individual, city, state and nation, and
they will not only bring ruin on the
country but terrible destruction on
themselves and posterity. For there
is a limit to what one man will endure
from another; pass it and you bring OH
hatred, riot and revolution. Today the
middle class are in sympathy with the
poor and laboring class as never be-
fore. and why? Simply because it sees

MATRIMONY

A SELFISH old centenarian woman
in New York gives the following
"A recipe for longevity:
IF you are a woman. never marry;
and never for moment lose your inde-
pendence" Imphm! And. if all women
were to accept this bad advice what
would become of posterity? We have
all heard the question, What has pos
terity ever done for us?" 1t is generally
supposed to be unanswerable. But it
isn't
On the contrary, it is answered easily.
Posterity has provided for us the incen'
tive to live and to do our best If all
people were to follow the advice of the
aged New Yorker, if the women were
all to remain single, and if, as a nee
essary consequence, the men were all
to be bachelors, life soon would lose its
responsibilities.
Eat, drink, be merry, for tomorrow
we die, would become the motto of man
kind. GIuttonous Generalization would
be followed by economical embarrass-
ment. There would be fierce and
deadly quarrels. and human beings
who did not die by famine would
perish by the sword In all her
hundred years the poor old New York
woman did not find out the secret of
true success in life; the secret of help
fulness, which is at its best in do
mesticity.

PUBLICITY

n lille WRIGHT said to news
paper interviewer, Il am a man
" of few words" But he does not
on that account underestimate the
value of publicity. The man VINO
"does not care to give out any infor-
nation" is scarcer than he used to be-
because the world has learned to sus-
pect reticence.
When a man does not wish to be IN
tervfewed he should always give his
reason for secrecy, and that might re-
assure the public. which by expert
ence has learned to suspect silence
without explanation.
All the leaders of finance and IN
dustry now answer questions asked by
newspaper representatives of the pub
lie. and only the greenhorn or the man
so suddenly successful the swelling
Of his head has not had time to be
reduced will refuse to be questioned
by reporters.
Successful men in the United States
owe everything to the people. 1t IS
only by popular consent individuals
enjoy vast fortunes or have the sole
management of great industries which
without much trouble could be nation
allied"
Even as in this land of liberty no
government can hold office and be
successful without the consent of the
governed, so no great financial or bust
ness establishment can be permanently
successful without the patronage-that
is to say, the consent-of the people.
The Wright brothers owe their ability
to Providence. But the fact they have
been able to use this ability to good
purpose and to become known all over
the world is due to the newspapers
Like all other legitimately successful
men, the Wright brothers are deeply
Indebted to newspaper writer's and
publishers. We hope the same power
of the press which benefits civilization
by preventing individuals of genius
from wasting their talent in obscurity
will be applied more and more to the
prevention of illegitimate success.

-Os has given q gratifvinRlv favor

n w. REYNOLDS of Los Angeles
II Humane Society for Children
AO' has given a gratifyingly favor
able report with regard to conditions
at Whittier school. He found all the
children, the younger ones as we'll as
the older were we'll fed amid good
surroundings. The Whittier children
are peculiarly the wards of the people.
The state owes a big responsibility-a
parental responsibility-to every child
sent to the institution. And in our
opinion the training and care should be
as little institutional and as much
homelike as possible.
There is no excuse whatever for
segregation and institutional care of
children unless the institution is to take
the place of home, and at the same time
train the children in such a way they
will be led to choose good rather than
evil. Conduct is the main concern at
the Whittier school.
The officers in charge of the school
should be we'll versed in ethics and
should be the best trained and best
equipped pedagogues salaries can hire.
Their responsibility is far greater than
that of the unconstitutional school
teacher or professor who is more con-
cerned with the literary education of
the child than with training for con-
duct and character The ordinary school
takes it for granted home influences
will mold character and affect conduct.
Whittier must combine home influences
with school training. Difficult indeed
is the task of the Whittier instructors

Egypt Sediment from rivers flowing

ances in, Central Africa so changed the
surface of the earth that the courses
of tropical streams were changed, and
an enormous head of water found an
outlet toward the north from the lakes
and swamps of the south. The high
plateaus have been since that time
drained toward the Mediterranean, and
fresh water has flowed for thousands of
years through the trough once filled
with a salty flood. All of this took
place before the beginning of the his
tory of the human race. The marvel
ously fertile soil of Egypt has yielded
crops since the beginning of agricul-
ture. AS far back as the reign of the
earliest Egyptian King Menes, irriga-
ton has been employed to lead the
water to the fields, if tradition speaks
the truth.
Upon the Island of Rhoda upon the
shores of which Moses was found by
Pharaoh's daughter, the Egyptian of

which registers the daily stages of the
river at Cairo. These records have been

though the explorations of its sources
have revealed the causes of the rising
and falling of the Nile, the stream is
still spoken of by the Arabs almost as
if it were deity.
The year. divided in other countries
into seasons, is divided here by the fluc-
tuations of the Nile. The months of in
undation, or Mill, are from August to
win ic
December to March. The lowest season
is the summer, called Self, from April
to the end of July. In the Nile valley
there is no occasion for the cartoonist
or humorist to discuss the lingering of
winter in the lap of spring. Nor does
Self linger in the lap of Mill. The ris-
ing and falling of the Nile is much more
regular than the coming and going of
the seasons where thew are reckoned
according to the position of the sun
and the temperature, or according to
the rainfall.
In America the rivers rise in the late
winter or early spring as rule, and
always during a period of heavy rains.
When the Ohio or Mississippi is out of
it's banks the cause of the flood is evil
dent. Father Nile rises at the time
when other rivers are depleted. and
comes pouring out of a burning desert,
under a blazing sun, to fertilize the
fields of Upper Egypt It is easy to
understand why the Egyptians, who
had never penetrated the interior be-
yond the desert, regarded the annual
flood as an inexplicable mystery.
The fellah stops upon the shores of
the river, the banks of canal, or an
irrigation ditch, and scoops up drink
from the Nile in his followed hands.
The tourist who dresses for dinner at
his hotel drinks filtered Nile water, un-

from Europe. Every animal and every
plant in the Nile valley is dependent
upon the same source for its supply of
moisture. There are no wells or

TARIFF INCONSISTENCY

A NY man who has studied human
A nature in connection with the tar
"A iff sees the force of a neighbors
comment: IF the effect of higher du-
ties were to produce increased reve-
nues. there might be some excuse for
enacting a tariff law with a higher
rate of ad valorem duties than the
present tariff law. But the effect OF
increased rates is found in diminished
importations and lessened receipts"
Not only is this true, but for years
the Republican party recognized its
truth and made an appeal for votes for
high tariff policies on the ground they
would afford PROTECTION to Amer
lean industries by excluding the COM
peting product of the foreigner.
And now "hard-shell' high tariff ad-
vocates beseech us to accept high tar
iff as a boon and a blessing on the
ground it will produce a revenue from
importationsl
How can the object of tariff duties be
at one and the same time the increase
of revenues by taxation levied on inn
ports and the protection of American
industries by the exclusion of foreign
goods from the privileges of competi-
tion with American goods on even
terms? or their exclusion absolute
and unconditional?
This question should be a poser fol
anyone but a high tariff acrobat. But
even such an one will need to use a
long vaulting pole if he would attempt
to clear it. We would like to see some
tariff high jumper try to take" our
