DE MORTUIS

n n the day on which readers of pro-
vice papers in Los Angeles were
" mourning his death King Edward
walked ten miles in the rain and
smoked ten strong black cigars. Such
remarkable case of -mindedness
on the part of a pro-vice corpse has
never before been recorded. Readers of
a paper which was supporting Mayor
Harper were deliberately buncoed by
the pro-vice press, which euchred them
out of several emotions, ranging from
sympathy to wonder, and from regret
to curiosity. These readers were also
excited unduly, and we have no doubt
some digestions were interfered with.
When the pro-vice press deliberately
goes out of the way to harrow
the feelings of it's readers. many
of whom must sympathize sincerely,
earnestly and PROFOUNDLY with the royal
parsonage whose ex-provicious career
still forms the principal pattern for
the giddy and gilded youth of Europe
(and America) then we think it is time
to administer a well deserved rebuke.
WDeH we lIllHh VI the pIOhlClOuS IS"i :
and sighs that mingled with spicy rem
iniscences of the proviciously deceased
monarch while he was walking ten
miles in the rain and smoking ten
black cigars, we are forced to believe
the provicious press has capped the
climax of its cacophonous career by un-
gratefully consigning to an untimely
Tartarus one of it's own best friends.
If the merry monarch were dead we
would not sa this, because de mortuis
nil nisi bonum. But then he isn't, and
the pro-Vice press must abandon its
untimely mourning for him and trans
fer its lugubriOus ululations to its pro-
vice ex-mayor the soiled and wilted
lily of Los Angeles, who officially has
faded away! faded away!

COMBINATION THE SOLUTION
OF ALL ECONOMIC TROUBLES

LOS ANGELES, March 9.-[Editor
Herald: Combine is the force now,
henceforth and forever will be-curse
1t though we may. What are we going
to do about it? Continue to helplessly
squirm? Or shall we sanely make the
best terms with it we can?
What terms? Listen! Having gone
as far as we dare go with competition
as a business principle, why not accept
it's antithesis, combine, as principle
of business? Help one another. Quit
competing, as all wise business men
have done and are doing. If some have
combined, all can. If not, / ask why
not, and challenge you to answer.
Combine Americanized Is just as
much a part of American civilization
now as government Americanized was
in 1776. Evolution has brought us to 1t.
Roosevelt proposes industrial democra-
cy; that is, industry of, for and by all
Americans. He is wrong only in maxi
ing industry subject to government.
whereas our government Is but func-
ton, a defensive function, of Industry;
q part of industry, the part that de-
ferlds us while we are at work.
I am glad Roosevelt, Carnegie, Rock
efeller and others are shedding light on
this the greatest problem before the
American people.
WHY not boldly come out and advo-
cate the American way as the only
right way for the American people?
Combine of, for and by all Americans.

TO CHIEF BROADHEAD

NOW, then, Chief Broadheads
what are YOU going to do
~ about it?"
By taking no action to remedy the
immoral and vicious conditions exist
ing in Los Angeles you either proved
the inefficiency of your department or
you accused yourself not merely OF
neglect of duty but of contempt or
duty.
The Herald believes in the efficiency
of the men who compose the rank ana
file of the police force of this city
The Herald believes that man for man
we have a force which may be COM
nared fayorably with any in the coun-
try.
The men are all right
Then what was the matter with
YOU, Mr.. Broaehead?
The Herald believes there are today
men on the force, walking their beats
and attending to the routine of their
duty. any one of whom if appointed
CHIEF of police would enforce the laws
of this city.
Broadhead, you knew the law was
not being obeyed. Why did you not
use the willing and honest force at
YOUR disposal and compel the law
breakers to respect the law?
Which is the worse, the law-breaker
who defies the rules drawn up for the
guidance and control of the commun-
itv in which he lives, or the police
chief, clothed with authority, armed
with power, who refrains from com
pelling the law-breaker to obey the
rules?
Answer the question, Chief Broad
head.
Which is the worse-the vicious
rogue who defies the sentiment ana
the law governing the community, or
the powerful police official who ignores
or protects him in his defiance?
Answer the question, Chief Broad
head
Which is the more reprehensible-
the vicious person or his official pro-
tector whose apathy or Incidence is
the lawbreaker's opportunity?
Answer the question, Chief Broad
head
Which is the greater sin-the prac-
tice of vice or the protection of the
practice of vice?
Answer the question, Chief Broad
head
Do your instructions prevent you
from enforcing the law?
Now that Harper and Kern nave
gone, are you still acting under in
structions?
If so, whose?
Chief Broadhead, vice and lawbreak-
ing could not have been protected in
Los Angeles without the knowledge
of the police.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
THE PROTECTION OF VICE?

WILL SUCCEED

NITIZENS are beginning to look
4 forward to the administration of
~ Mr.. Alexander with eager ex-
pectation of the benefits which will
be derived by the business life of Los
Angeles from the honesty, integrity
and ability of square deal mayor.
All over the United States there are
interested spectators of the fight for
good government in Los Angeles, and
eastern papers are expressing freely
the opinion that the best interests of
our city demand the election of Mr..
Alexander, a mayor in whom not only
Los Angeles but the United States may
have confidence This is a metropoli-
tan center Neither its light nor its
mayor can be hid under a bushel. The
progress of Los Angeles is q frequent
subject of comment in various parts of
the country.
Los Angeles is one of the best known
cities in the United States, and for its
size the very best known. Its reputa-
tion is much greater than that of many
cities of more population. That repu-
tation must be kept good, and in or
der that Los Angeles may continue to
enjoy a good reputation it must have
a good mayor. George Alexander must
be elected; and beyond reasonable
doubt he will be elected, and his cleo
ton viii be a good boost for Los An
geles.

The Polytechnic high school is one OF

cessful and popular is it, indeed, that
it cannot accommodate and teach all

Manual Training high school will be as
popular as the Polytechnic. 1t will help
to relieve the pressure on that school,
although in Los Angeles 1t is never safe
to make predictions as to the future
history of school accommodations. We
believe within the next few years, when
the population will be increased rap
idly in consequence of the expansion
of the city and the great increase OF
business facilities and opportunities
the work of building and equipping
new schools and of organizing special
schools for higher education will make
the board of education by far the

PROTESTS AGAINST STATE
AIDING ANY ONE RELIGION

LOS ANGELES. March 10.-lE EditoI
Heraldl: As a member of the Los An
geles Liberal club, a non-religious euu-
cational society, / protest against youl
editorial on Liberalism" In your lssue
of March 10, which, seems to me 10 pe
entirely out of place IN Inc Hera,u,
but would be more appropriate III oui
great religious daily" the Times.
Our demand that chaplains shall mol
be paid with public money seems 10
arouse your ire, and that the Bible
shall not be read in the public schools
seems to you to be intolerant.
1t is not question OF tolerance, nus
of law and justice. The corner stone or
this government Is religious freedom
and separation of church and state,
but 1t has been so prostituted by priests
and politicians that the wayfarins
man would hardly notice It,
No less an authority than George
Washington declared that this is In
no sense a Christian country" Gen.
Grant said: "The church and state
must be kept forever separate" Gar
field said 1.-THE divorce between
church and state must be absolute"
The payment of chapiains from the
public funds Is not constitutional or
good morals. 1t is simply politics and
graft.
No one wishes to deprive sick or
condemned person of the benefit of
chaplain's ministrations, IL voluntarily
performed or privately paid for, but
we emphatically object to the use OF
public money for such purposes.
AS to the Bible In the public schools,
the laws of California absolutely for
bid it. and the clashing of the more
than 200 kinds of Christian religions,
each clamoring for its version or none,
would indicate that even If only for
harmony 1t should not be permitted.
As to the Bible being a literary
classic, that is matter of opinion
with which we have no quarrel; but
those who would compel its use and
teaching at public expense do so from
the point of view of divine inspiration,
and not literature.

The leader of the pro-vice press is
expending much energy and ink in ex-
planning how it did not support Har-
per. 1t will take more than words in
boldface type to convince citizens Of
Los Angeles that this journal did not
hamstring the Republican candidate,
and aid in boosting Arthur Harper into
the mayoralty. Certainly there can be
no doubt this same journal did
all in it's power to prevent the ousting

ENERGY WASTED IN DENYING
THE EXISTENCE OF MATTER

LOS ANGEIE ES, March 9.-IEditor
Herald: When those who believe In
matter heal equally as well as those
who do not believe in matter, what is
the use or need OF anybody denying
the existence of matter?
Faith In shrines or rifles, prayer with
oiling, and belief in potatoes, buckeyes
or iron rings, faith in all these cures
Faith, prayer and belief are merely
mental attitudes, which, when assumed
toward any supposed power, personi-
fed or impersonal, embodied or disem-
bodied, by this very exercise become
power themselves and accomplish re-
suits within certain limitations.
Hence 1t is waste of energy to deny
the existence Of matter.

Fennell Scores Again.

It cost Higashi. a Hotel street hotel
keeper who owes allegiance to the Mi
kado, just one hundred cold plunks to
try to defy License Inspector Fennell
and dispose of wet goods without the
formality and expense of obtaining a
license. FenneI suspected that Higa-
shi was doing little business in cold
drinks, so he sent spy in to try
to buy thirst-queneher. The spy was
entirely successful and Fennell appear
ed at the psychological moment and
seized the beer, which formed Exhibit
A in the police court yesterday morn
ing. Judge Andrade thought it worth
about 500 to Higashi, merely as a
matter of experience.
Judge Andrade assessed fine of $15
and costs against Kappa, young Ha-
waiian who had INDUCED in the luxury
of poking a lady in the eye. The lady
is pretty young Chinese girl who runs

that she got the poke for ordering
Kappa out of the store when he was
misbehaving.

ian who thought it considerable of a

MURDER IS
NOW CHARGED
Waikiki Accused of the Killing
of Sailor WetheriIi of the
Pleiades.

A charge of murder in the first de-
gree now hangs over Waikiki, alias
Kaheana. one of the three men who is
suspected of the killing Of sailor Weth-
Grill of the Pleiades some weeks ago.
The charge was placed on the books at
the police station yesterday afternoon,
Waikiki having Heretofore been held
merely for investigation. No charge
has yet been placed against the two
other men, Jim McCandless and Tom
Cummins, but it is probable that they
viii be formally accused soon.
Chief of Detectives Leal believes he
has plenty of evidence to convict Wal
kiki of completely in the murder of
the man who was found in the lumber
yard with his head smashed IN by a
club. In fact, the Chief states that
Waikiki has confessed to virtually
everything but the actual killing, tell
ing of the fight that took place, out
of which the murder is supposed to
have arisen.
Nobody seems to know yet just who
the murdered man really was. He
went by the name of Wetherill on the
Pleiades, but it is also stated that his
real name was John Wal, that he was
a half brother of Joe Cans, the negro
pugilist, and that he claimed to be
part Hawaiian.
