Manila. Oct. 1.-Since the passage
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill which
had favorable effect on Philippine
tobacco and cigars. there has been an
extraordinary demand for tobacco
workers. Most of the factories have
been running overtime with extra
shifts of workmen in anticipation of
a big demand from the United States.
Labor agitators have now taken the
opportunity to demand increased wag

SAYS THAT POLITICS is
OUTSIDE WOMAN'S SPHERE

LOS ANGELES, Oct 1O.-[Editor
Herald: So little has lately been said
in the Letter Box on the suffragette
movement that it seems as if the last
word had been spoken on the subject,
and that by supporters of the move
ment. Yet no question can be, nor
ever is, settled Alright unless it is done
in accordance with the laws of Divine
Providence. Certain duties belong en-
tirely to men, others to women, and
cannot be interchanged, among which
are the duties of government, lawmak
ing and politics in general, which are
outside woman's sphere. Men form
judgment from intelligence and reason
because they are created forms of in
telligence and wisdom. Women form
judgment from their wills and affec-
tions of love, because they are created
the forms of love, hence the women
are no more capable of the business of
lawyers and judges than they can
grow boards. Some writer alluded to
Portia as a successful lawyer, but she
entirely forgot that Shakespeare was
a man and not a woman. Again, the
duties peculiar to each are well de-
fined and have worked well when in
accordance to unalterable laws for
thousands of years, and they can no
more be interchanged than that the
sexes interchange clothes, (which is an
abomination unto the Lord" Mum.

OBJECTS TO TREATMENT
OF SOCIALISTS AT JAIL

Los ANGELES, oct. 11.-[Editor
Herald: l want to express my aston
ishment at the lawless conduct of the
police officials at the city Jail last
evening. A number Of the Socialists
went over there to inquire why De
LARA had been imprisoned, to find out
about bail, etc. Information had been
absolutely refused to De Larra's wife
about these matters. The arrest was
sufficiently high-handed proceeding,
but what followed was delightfully."- sug-
gestive of a sojourn in Russia. Not
more than one question had been asked
of the desk sergeant when someone
shouted, Get out of here, all of yo'l,
and before anyone had time TO move
a half dozen policemen had bounced
out and began to shove and hustle the
crowd out. 1t was beautiful spec
tacle, and as I got a view of it from
the rear it looked like a football rush.
If American citizens care to stand for
that sort of thing of course it is their
concern. If not, those citizens who
were assaulted by the policemen
Should take out a warrant for the ar
rest of the riotous officers imme-
diately. I was not myself molested,
but the whole affair was disgusting in
the extreme. 1t seems there is a rule
that citizens shall not be admitted to
the Jail after dark, but there was no
sign up to that effect; and a statement
should have been made by one of the
officers to explain this Gf it is really
the case) instead of their rushing on a
number of citizens who were there on a
lawful Grand. Positively no time was
given to obey the command to leave
the Jail before an assault was made.
If there had been a riot it would have
been absolutely the fault of the offend
ing policemen. Those policemen should
be reminded without delay that they
are our servants just as the housemaid
is our servant. We do not employ her
to turn us out of the house; nor should
these people have been roughly elected
from the Jail which belongs to them
and not to the brutes who seem to be
in charge of it. If any citizens are
willing that such an attack should be
made on Socialists let them remember
liberty belongs only to those who are
worthy of it, and that their turn may
come next. l.. d. HARDING.

NOT TARIFF REFORM

4 CCORDING to the new tariff
u schedules, increases affect COM
- modities imported in 1907 to the
value of at least $1O5, 844, POI, while
reductions affect not more than $780,
14l,074 worth of imports. On the 1907
basis, $447000,OOO worth of imports re-
main subject to the same duties as I'M
der the Dingley tariff. That is to say,
according to a careful analysis pre-
pared for the Reviews of Reviews.
sixty-five per cent of the total imports
remain subject to the same old rates
and more than fifteen per cent will be
subject to higher duties, average in
crease amounting to thirty-one per
cent over the Dingley rates.
Less than twenty per cent Of imports
are to be subject to lower duties the
reduction being estimated at twenty
three per cent below Dingley rates.
These figures, however, do not take
into account numerous changes-nearly
all increases Of duty-due to changes
in classification, similar to instances
cited in the case Of sawn wood, struc-
tural iron and cotton cloth.
Moreover, a large part of imports
subject to ad valorem duties now will
be assessed on the basis of domestic
prices instead of the prices in foreign
markets with due allowance for
freight and duty). Then there is the
possibility of the application of maxi
mum rates to some Of the imports from
foreign countries, which will give an
increase Of fifty per cent over the new
rates. The truth about the increase
of duty will not be known for a year,
until full reports are obtained of i'm
ports and duties actually levied un-
der the new law as interpreted by the
! decisions of the board of general ap-
praisers and the new customs court.
In plainest language, the American
nation is about to be experimental on
by another tariff, the effects of which
cannot be foretold with approximate
accuracy even by experts" as there
| is a very large TX" or unknown guam
tity which forbids precalculation or
forecast.
However, it is easily demonstrable
that "revision" is not reform, and
should rather be interpreted read
justment," a mere juggling of sched-
ules which upon the basis of obtain
able estimates will have the effect of
increasing prices, making life harder
than ever for the wage Garner, embar-
RAISING enterprise when unfinanced by
large capital, and producing conditions
which sooner or later will create a
demand for genuine tariff reform,
which the most artful political dodger
in the tariff ring at Washington will
not dare disregard or delay.

the defense of the harbor. He realizes
how much the harbor means to Greater
Los Angeles and South California. His
interest in the harbor may be said to
be paternal.
His name viii always be associated

SPLENDID WORK

~ HIEF DISHMAN and the police of
this city are entitled to warm
~ praise for the business-like efH-
cheney and courtesy with which police
duties rendered necessary by the
crowds that thronged the streets to
see the president were discharged.
These duties form a most important
factor in the success Of public affairs
of great magnitude, like a presidential
visit. AS everybody knows, there are
two ways Of policing a big city on
day of crowds and excitement. There
is the Russian way, which unfortu-
nately has been exemplifed from time
to time in some of the cities of the
United States. According to that way,
the citizen who innocently violates
some regulation may be dubbed first
and ordered" afterward.
BY the Los Angeles way the arrange
ments made are so easily understood
there was little opportunity for con-
fusion on the part Of citizens, and
those who got out of bounds and wan
dered into forbidden ground were
quietly and courteously told of their
mistake, and invariably obeyed police
instructions in a quiet, courteous, good
humored manner.
General good humor explains the
days harmony Courtesy evokes
courtesy. A smile brings a smile,
and under the influence Of the
Taft smile Dishman's men per-
formed their duties in a smil-
ing and pleasant manner, and are en-
titled to the congratulations and
thanks of their fellow citizens.

FINE TIMBER

TN less than a month the citizens OF
Los Angeles will be asked TO
L choose at the primaries the can
didates for municipal offices at the
December election. Citizens are al
ready familiar with the names and
qualifications of "the best men forsof-
fee" and doubtless will support them
at the primaries. Mayor Alexander
heads the Good Government list, and
there can be no doubt he is the choice
of the majority of the citizens of Los
Angeles for mayor.
His worth is known. He has been
tried and not found wanting, and his
record in an office to which he was
called while the affairs of the city
were still in confusion resulting from
maladministration has been consist
emily good. Mayor Alexander is trust
ed by the people of Los Angeles, who
know he means exactly what he says
and saws exactly what he means, and
is aetuated by a sincere desire to rem
der the best possible service to the
public.
In brief. the mayor is man who
always does his duty. This and his
natural executive ability, business ex-
perienee and great sagacity and good
sense form his equipment" for the
office of mayor, and the citizens of
Los Angeles are fortunate in the fact
a man of such excellent qualifications
and qualities is willing and able to
hold an important public office and to
devote himself assiduously to its du-
ties.
Leslie Hewitt is recommended for
city attorney, Harry ]. Lelande for city
clerk, Captain Hance for treasurer and
Walter Mallard for assessor. These
recommendations will appeal to all
good citizens. The gentlemen named
possess the efficiency and integrity es-
sentlal to the successful and satisfae-
tory discharge of public duties. BY
recommending Clarence NJ. Taggart
for tax collector and John S. Myers
for city auditor the Good Government
organization and the friends of good
government have rendered a service I
citizens who desire to know the names
of the men most eligible for the Of
fees named, and those willing to
serve if called upon.
The Good Government organizations
committee has under consideration a
score or more candidates for council.
Among these it is certain the stamp of
approval will be placed on Judge John
d. Works, W. J. Washburn, Miles
Gregory, ]. J. Andrews, Martin Bet
kouskl, George Williams and Rich
mond Plant The other candidates
will be equally high class citizens.
The selection of these candidates
tunity of voting for and in all prob
ability Of electing some Of the best
and most representative men of Los
Angeles to the council.
Owing to excellent service and dis
play of qualifications for office which
show them to be worthy of public
confidence the denomination and re-
election of the present members Of the
| school board would be for the best
interests of Los Angeles. These gen.
tlemen are Joseph Scott, Fielding ].
Stilson, ]. NJ. Quinn, Roger S. Page,
H. w. Frank, Melville Dozier and F.
| w. Steddom.
Let US nominate the best candidates
at the primaries in order that We may
vote into Office the best candidates at

itself no more important duty than
that of keeping up the highest stand

CHILDREN'S GREETING

T OS ANGELES HERALD takes keen
pleasure in voicing the public
A appreciation of the patriotic en-
terprise of the members of the board
of education, school officials, principals
and teachers in arranging a special
reception of President Taft and a spe-
cial welcome for him by the school chill
dren of Los Angeles. We know he will
agree with us when we say that in
all his travels he has not seen sight
more pleasing than the school children
of Los Angeles massed to welcome him,
and among all the thronging memories
of his busy, important life, none will
be more impressive and recur to him
oftener when he is thinking reminis-
Gently than the memory of his charm
ing greeting by the very best product
of Los Angeles, the happy. bright pa
triotic children Of the sunny South
land.
We believe the president was more
moved by the cheers of the boys and
girls of Los Angeles than he has ever
been by all the formal salutes fired
in his honor. The shrill voices of the
children, to a man with any heart,
have an appeal more forceful than the
most majestic "boom" of the biggest
big gun ever forged and fired. Los An
geles is proud of its children, proud of
its school officials and educational sys-
TEN, and proud Of the schools in which
the children are being educated. The
president in a practical way expressed
his approval of educational Los An
geles, for he turned the first spadeful
of earth for the new high school build
ing-the Taft high school building, as
We believe it will be popularity called
henceforth.

Rev. Dr. Charles Edward Locke said
on Sunday: Jenny Geddes in st. Giles

on the authority of Locke's ''Ecclesi-

in any other. Jenny hurled a stool. but
it was not at Roman Catholic bish-
