DUTY

NHIEF OF POLICE EDWARD f.
Dishman has already established
" a distinguished record for efficiency
of service and devotion to duty, and
the attempt of "pro-vice' enemies 10
establish some connection between him
and the alleged favoritism shown TO-
ward two of the prisoners captured Ill
the Manhattan hotel raid is the result
of a desire to crafty spite, and not of
a wish to &ender a public service. 1t Is
a most disingenuous attempt to dis
credit the administration, and the Facts
in the case show there was no more
connection between Chief Dishman or
the municipal administration and the
alleged leniency shown toward captives
taken at the Manhattan than there was
between the administration and the
recent disturbances in Turkey.
1t is possible some one was to blame
for alleged favoritism shown in the
case of Patrolman Sanders and a com
panion described as "a young woman
of a respectable family and good repu-
tation" Chief Dishman in published
statement said: "The man who was
to blame, the man who was derelict in
his duty on the night of the Manhattan
raid must bear the responsibility,
whether he be a member of the police
department or any other department of
the city government. This affair just
came to my attention. and I am now
conducting a thorough investigation
into the matter, and propose to know
the whole truth. There will be no
trimming and no half way measures in
this connection or in any other
In Chief Dishman's resolution to do
his duty without fear or favor he is
applauded by every self-respecting
member of this community. And, after
all, the Manhattan raid was not Chief
Dishman's raid" 1t was the raid of
the public opinion and public conscience
of Los Angeles, expressed in the persons
and actions Of public officials of whom
an undiscriminating performance of
duty was and is expected, even when
the performance of that duty is dis
agreeable or embarrassing.

TARIFF LIARS

TN denouncing high tariff because of
its baleful effects on morality
Il Senator Rayner OF Maryland
merely made in public a statement
which has often been made in private.
Honest tax declarations of any kind
are hard to obtain: therefore it is not
surprising poor human nature should
be tempted to get the better of tariff
regulations, because many men are
so constituted that it is absolutely I'M
possible to persuade them of the jus
tice of high tariff taxation, while prob
ably most of the women of the United
States are free traders, totally I'M
aware of the legal morality or moral
legality of any kind of taxation on
imports.
'When we pay what the goods are
worth, why should we have to pay
fine for the privilege of buying the
goods?" That is the feminine argu-
ment: and beyond that and into the
mazes of economies very few women
will condeseend to go. In view of this
condition land the accuracy Of our de-
scription Of it may easily be ascer-
tanned by our readers) there is food
for thought in the blunt statements of
Senator Rayner of Maryland:
"There seems TO be something about
the tariff that perverts the human
mind and aspirations and longing of
the soul for truth. The situation in
washington is such that you cannot
get the truth out of anybody. 1 am
very fond of liars, l have studied them
by day and by night, but I never in
my life saw such an aggregation of
them as are assembled in this capitol,
and they can lie with equal facility
upon one side or the other of the same
question"
High tariff is a menace to public
morality. It's effect on any nation in
the long run is detrimental to the best
interests of that nation, This is the
result of a spiritual law in the natural
world, and that law is as unalterable
as were the Biblical laws of the Medes
and Persians.

Listen to the mournful burden
Burden dark of Israel
High exalted unto heaven
Soon to echo unto hell:
Blind and deaf are We and know not
Right who seek not God your health
Worshiping afar from Zion,
Heaping treasures in your stealth.
Loud protesting. yelled by splendors,
See this wretchedness forlorn,
Bounteous fields with muzzled oxen
Treading out the golden corn,
And we hear voice: Oh, nation,
Robber of my pastures fair,
Turn thee from thy sordid idols,
Haste, to meet thy God-Prepare!
Shame, for all thy self-indulgence
While the toiler without bread
Doth for naught thy harvests gather,
Heaping curses on thy head;
Women, raised for Israel's mothers.
Dainty though they step, and proud,
Clad like heather, vain and trlhing,
Hank, the warning muttered loud:
Seek We God! Amend with weeping,
For his storm cloud gathereth speed;
Soon thou shalt in piteous grieving
Late-too late-fnd out thy need"
Ever still the voice of wailing
Overswept the darkened plain.
yet return we not, oh IsraelT'
Is this burdens sad refrain.
While we read the ancient story
OF His people, willful-wise,
Let us pause a moment-ponder,
Lest we face the sad surprise,
And beholding, wondering-perish!
Cry we, Save thy people, Lord,
From the whirlwind Revelation
OF thy everlasting word.

CLANS AND CHILDREN

TN various parts of the country are
men and women who are sufficient
l. ly educated and wide awake 10
realize the real. vital, necessitous, urg-
ent public question of this day and
generation, and to appreciate the fact
that though passing policies and party
politics may obscure it, and though 1t
may be lost to view, it will outlast
all policies and if not attended to in
time will absorb all politics and be-
come the predominant national prob
lem.
What is to be done to keep the ma
tons most important natural crop up
to such efficiency that the progress oil
the nation will not be interrupted, ana
that it will not make the fatal mis-
take of becoming too materialistic, the
error which cost Greece, Rome, Pales-
tine, Egypt, Assyria, Carthage their
national lives? That Israel as peo-
pie survives, though dead as a nation
is due to its possession of an extraor-
binary spiritual quality which no ma
terialism could destroy, spirit that
could not be "quenched."
But if the nations that make up our
modern civilization do not repent in
time of their folly. and turn aside from
purely materialistic plans of develop
ment, where is the man so rash as to
say the great Rule of the Moral Uni
verse. the spiritual law in the natural
world. will be suspended in their case?
Much more likely is it, according to all
precedent. that Israel, still saved by
it's spiritual underlife, may persist and
after the lapse of few more CEN
turtles may be able from new surround
ings, an environment which cannot
even be guessed, to gaze at the WRECKS
of the empires. and imperial republics
of the nineteenth and twentieth CEN
turtles of materialism, of the accumula-
ton of wealth and equal and conse-
duent decay Of men.

board of health of Indiana, is one OF

ticians. money and money makers now

mountly important question of the day.
the welfare of the children, which most
decidedly and assuredly, according to
reliable facts and figures, is beng
threatened by the encroachments OF
materialism. DIR. Hurry has come to
the conclusion the republic cares more
for the welfare of CLAIMS than for that
of children. He asks, Do we love CLAIMS
more than children? If we do not, why
did congress, without hesitation, APP
propriate $40, 900 to pay experts to study
clans and almost unanimously turn
down an appropriation of $4,000 to pay
an expert to study children? The rea-
son why the $4,000 clam appropria-
ton passed like creased lightning was
because the pearl button makers
wanted clam shells from which to make
pearl buttons. We cannot make any
thing but men and women out of chill
dren. therefore congress would not give
any money for child study

GOOD GOVERNMENT

HGAYOR ALEXANDER may rest
WI assured he has the support of ali
All good citizens of Los Angeles in
his program of economy. His recon-
mendations, showing how more than
$4,000 year can be saved without I'M
pairment of the efficiency of the public
service and with marked Improvement,
have met with approval; while his sug-
gestion that the office of mayors mes
senger should be abolished is hall
marked with honesty. That is one of
the very "berths" which a self-seeking.
political or disingenuous mayor would
carefully guard and preserve. It is the
very place political mayor would re-
serve for his Man Friday"
That the mayors economies should
be opposed in the council would be
puzzling if it We're not known there is
a plot afoOt to hold on like grim death
to the superfiuous inspectorships and
other unnecessary offices, in order that
these offices and their emoluments may
be preserved for future political pur-
poses when the Alexander good govern
ment administration has passed Nnto
history and there is again a chance that
perhaps, in the language of the pro-
fessional politician, "the boys may have
show"
We admit the Alexander regime is a
poor time for boys" But was there
ever such a time and such an oppor-
tunity for MEN? This is realized by
the majority of this community, and
Mayor Alexanders economies are in
dorsed by an appreciative and grateful
constituency.

poets to take up the question of the
federal line on the Pacific with the
secretary of war as soon as he re-
turns. With federal line from Pacific
coast ports to the west end of the

Pacific coast would get the benefit of

business of the steamship line the gov
eminent maintains on the Atlantic be-
tween New York and the isthmus would
be greatly increased and the line put
