RUMP CANDIDATES

w ITH the good sense which is a
w characteristic of this communi-
ty, the people of Los Angeles
refuse to take the Rump convention
seriously. To the man on the street,
the man in the Office. the man about
town, the man everywhere, it is a jolly
joke, nothing more (nor less) than
something to talk about" And as
to whether this Rump convention in
dorsed or didn't indorse the board of
education does not matter a bawbee.
The candidates who have the indorse-
ment of the gang Of roughnecks who
called themselves Republicans are to
! be commiserated, not congratulated,
unless by rare good fortune they
should be in line for popular approval
at the primaries.
Almost without exception. the can
didates for city Offices indorsed by
the so-caned delegates" to the mob
meeting which the Rump organ and
the machinists are calling a city con-
vention, will be forgotten at the pri-
maries. and if any should survive the
ordeal of the primaries, the machine
Endorsement will be their greatest
handicap in the campaign. It will
be hard to overcome at the polls un-
less a candidate can prove it was not
his fault he was enrolled among
Parker's awkward squad, and that he
took every means in his power to keep
the machine men from using his name.

familiar henchmen, they are marked
for Identification more conspicuously
than at any previous time in their
careers.
The sponsorship of a rowdy assem-
blage without any legal standing be-
yond that of an ordinary mass meet
ing is not a political prize, and a
Joke should not be taken seriously by
any community gifted with a sense of
humor.
Although Los Angeles has told the
world the day of party lines in munic-
ipal elections is over, the Rump or
gan announces Republicans indorse
Smith as candidate. Two thousand
delegates approve of him as party
The words party candi- |
date" mean machine candidate" and
as the machine has been reduced to
the extremity of holding an irregular
assemblage with the object of evading |
or thwarting the primaries law, and
as that irregular assemblage is moth |
ing more nor less than a belated echo |
Of a similar irregular assemblage |
known In history as the Rump," the |
of its choice are Rump can
didates.
If the Rump convention were TO |
be taken at all seriously, it would be
regarded as a most deplorable instance
Of modern disregard of the first prin-
ciples of Americanism, one of which /

pie. for the people, by the people The
attempt to substitute for this govern

the people are too conscious of their
rights and too Jealous of them to give
the slightest hope of the success OF
the plot of those who have sought, |

lar system of nomination, and for can

candidates chosen by the Rump, of
the Rump and for the Rump.

AUTO VEHICLES

~ OOD roads and the popularization
ET of the automobile method of car
VI rying passengers and goods will
do more to curb the rapacity of the
railroads, regulate rates and adjust
the economic problem of the distribu-
ton of goods after manufacture than
will all the special legislation that
may be devised or that has been sug-
gested.
Automobiles as common carriers will
have so many advantages over rail-
road trains that it would take several
columns of The Herald to enumerate
them properly. The result Of the North
Baldy race should be to stimulate in
terest in good road-making and at the
same time to bring home to the public
the fact that even when travelling over
rough roads, climbing steep grades and
fording mud-bottomed as well as
-bottomed streams, the auto
mobile is the autocrat Of all the carry
ing vehicles, and the automobile
method of transportation is by far
the best.
It is safe, speedy, reliable and inde-
pendent. A railroad train Is a ham
pered, helpless and dependent piece
of mechanism, bound by rules of the
road the slightest infringement Of
which brings on disaster; forced to
stick to the two little narrow steel
bands stretched along the track or to
be wrecked. Nothing is more clearly
indicated at the close of the first dec
ade of the twentieth century than
that automobiling and aviation are to
be the methods of travel and trans
portation which will characterize this
wonderful century, as the evolution of
steam and rail to their present pitch
of perfection characterized the nine
teenth century, and as road-making
and speedy stage coach driving char
acterized the eighteenth.
The railroads have had a long reign.
They have rendered great service to
the United States, but in modern times
have shown and are showing feverish
greed rather than a desire to benefit
the public. And nothing could be more
foolish than this policy, because the

an unprecedented interest in the con-
struction of good roads, and has stim-
ulated and is stimulating the construc-
ton and improvement of Independent
carrying vehicles.
Prosperity is certain to follow the
more general use of automobiles
that should be the sequel of the great
California. misunderstanding feat.
Think Of the good time coming when
the ranchers will no longer eagerly
ask what is the latest freight rates
schedule, and pore over it to find out
by what possible combination of inter-
ests they can send their goods to mar
ket without giving the roads more
than they will get for the labor OF
growing or producing the goods! After
all, moral suasion is much more certain
to result in square dee when that
form of suasion is accentuated with
a club.

WAR

HTE ARE astonished to find such
w an advanced and progressive
journal as the Christian Science
Monitor publishing the following: 1.-THE
value of the invention (the directive
system of wireless telegraphy) in ma
val warfare would be emphasized by
the fact that a message could not be
intercepted by any ship not actually
in the direction of transmission" Will
the day ever come when newspapers
will stop reproducing and transmitting
the war idea by speaking of every new
discovery and invention with regard
to its possibilities of aiding in the work
of destruction?
AS soon as the air hip became feas-
ible its value in war was talked of.
New inventions should be used for
the purpose of bringing about the reign
of perpetual peace, but there will be
no peace until human beings break
themselves effectually of the age-long
habit Of thinking l terms of war.
What would make war really difficult
perhaps almost impossible? Peace
pacts? No. These may be broken, and
have been broken time and time
again.
The movement for the abolition oi
war will really begin when writer
cease to use war words, when wal
words are banished from schoo
books, from dictionaries, from the
languages Of the world.

other out, keep your eye on the gen.

of a kind. Machine harmony.

This is gratifying, and yet to the
thoughtful it is provocative of melan-
choly. 1t is evident our young folks
are eager to continue their education
after leaving grammar school or high
school and that their circumstances in
life often prevent them from carrying
out their wishes and ambitions. Many
of the children of this republic are dis
eliminated against most unfairly, most
outrageously, and 1t would be the
height of absurdity to wag a reproach-
full finger at them and declare accus-
ingly it was their own fault they had
to go to work before they had been
educated properly. But, say, whose
fault was it?

NEEDLESS CUTTERS
Desirable Change for Msridsn Streets

Street Supt. Andrew Oehnger is trying a new gutter construction, something of his own conception, on Sherman avenus, and it is expected to ultimately make large money say ing for the city. It way be called a tar gutter and one great feature will be the absence of the objectionable weeds. The new gutter will have a good trial. for 2,460 feet. of it is to be laid on Sherman avenue and the street department is now engaged in filling in the sides of the street. which are too low.
 Large stones which need not be trimmed like the regular gutter cob bles and may be laid by ordinary la bofsrs will form the foundation of the new gutter and over that will be laid crushed rock and the whole then pressed down by the steam roller. After that comes the tar treatment, making a smooth bed for the surface water to flow over
 The saving is expected to come in the lasting qualities. in the shaping and laying of cobbles, in sand, in weed hoeing and. withal. the appear ance will be vastly improved The time thus saved in the winter months when the cobblestones are shaped and sand carted may be used in filling in side streets to be rolled in the spring. -Meriden Journal.
