SAYS POOR ARE CAUSE
OF THEIR MISFoRTUNES

Los ANGELES, Nov. 22.-IEditor
Herald; If any more statistics were
needed to prove that the working peo-
pie are the cause of their own mis-
fortunes 20" has furnished them.
One horseshoe machine takes the
place of 500 men, a nail machine or
1900. one for pottery HOO and one for
unloading ships 1000 men.
Here are four machines taking the
place of 4S00 men, yet statistics show
that the American birth rate has de-
creased only 25,000,000 in ten years.
These statistics show further that
the greatest per cent of decrease was
not in the families of workingmen but
in the families of the well-to-do.
1t is workingmen themselves who
furnish the million and a half chill
dren to the factories and 1t is work
ingmen who make UP the army OF
100000 unemployed.
1t is human nature to blame ones
misfortunes on someone else; so work
ingmen blame the inventors for in
venting labor-saylng machinery blame
the politicians for outwltting them at
the ballot box, blame the capitalists
for accommodating money, blame the
church for catoling money from the
women, blame everybody and every
organization for the conditions for
which none but themselves is to blame.
The writer is familiar with factory
conditions in the south, with the sweat
shop system in eastern cities, partic-
ularly in New York, and always and
everywhere from the eyes of stunted
and emaciated childhood, from the
eyes of underfed and overworked
mothers, from the eyes of soul-shrunk-
en- and conscience-seared fathers-in
the eyes of all she read the answer to
the question of 1.-THE Way Ort?"
And these emaciated. overworked,
soul shrunken ones knew not that they
themselves were the answer; that they
were the proof that there is an over
supply of human beings; that machin-
cry has taken the place of human
hands; that the quantity should be les
sened and the quality improved.
When motherhood is free, when no
where in all the land is there such a
thing as an unwanted child, then our
souls may rest in peace, for the prob
lem of child labor and the problem of
the unemployed will vex us no more
for there will be none.

LOCALIZED KILLING

TIVE persons were killed when a
E Santa Ana car struck an automo-
Il bile near Latin station yesterday
afternoon. Let us review the law in
voked in such tragedies. The car was
on the private right of way of the
Pacific Electric Railway company.
The automobile was on a public high
way. There was no gate, bell or flag
man at the crossing.
The railway was within the law.
In California railways may kill with
impunity. BY the provisions of the
California statute. jockeyed through a
corrupt legislature by railroad infiu-
ence, the burden of proof rests upon
the dead man. Neither Mr.. Jacobs
nor his sons or daughters may seek
redress in the courts of earth. His
wife and babe are lying mangled at a
hospital. The company is safe.
BY the terms of this same statute,
the victim of an accident must give
absolute proof that he stopped, looked
and listened before crossing the track.
Happily for the railroads, the victims
usually are dead, and the companies
are spared the annoyance of fighting
suits in court. This is the third of
series of similar accidents in Los An
geles. Almost at the same instant

JAPAN'S FRIENDSHIP

n ARON SHIBUSAWA of the Japan
N ese commercial commission point
ed out the fact that friendly re-
lations between Japan and the United
States are intensified by the visit of the
commission, and it was to promote
friendship. good will and good under
standing the commissioners came to the
United States.
He said: I'VE visit America, not sim
ply as business men, but as represen-
tatives of the entire population of
Japan" He expressed a hope direct
commerce between Los Angeles and
japanese ports soon will be a reality.
Oriental friendship and Oriental
trade VIII help the maritime interests
completion of the Panama canal. Mer-
camille interests in Southern California
should find it comparatively easy to
establish Los Angeles harbor as a per-
manent port of call for all the princi-
pal steamship lines that will use the
canal.
Los Angeles by natural situation is a
receiving and distributing center; one
of the most important stations of this
kind on the Pacific coast. Water
freight rates will be such as to induce
a large majority of the representatives,
of manufacturing and agricultural in
terests in South, California to patron
ize the "all water route" rather than
have their goods hauled across the
continent at freight rates exacted by
exorbitant railroad magnates.
With the friendship Of Japan as
sured, there should be a great devel-
opment and expansion of Oriental
trade, and this development and ex-
pansion should be for the good of
South California and for the benefit of
all the people that dwell therein, and
not for the benefit of few interests
which are devotees of profits and de-
spisers of patriotism.

LUNA DESCRIBES sEANcE
WHICH ENDED SUDDENLY

PASADENA, Nov. 17.--[Editor Her
ald]: Now comes another medium of
note, Eusapia Paladino. Without a
doubt she will find a large field with
plenty of suckers, although there are
now several hundred mediums in the
country who converse with all they
meet here and will call up, talk and
shake hands with anyone on the other
side, providing they can get the room
dark enough, the curtains in working
order and we have the price.
After several conversations with a
friend concerning spookology, l be-
came interested, and he. invited me to
a seance one night (they meet at night,
always) to be convinced.
They met, and had been holding
meetings in a doctors office in cer-
tain mining camp in the middle west.
Oil lamps were used for light. Every
thing ready, the lights were turned
down, the medium began his role, a
breathless silence prevailed, then, faint
murmurs as of voices and music were
heard in the cleaning; there must
have been a number of spirits in a
bunch. They got one cut out from the
rest, and an old lady recognized 1t as
the voice of her husband, who crossed
the tide many years previous. 1t
would have turned out with success for
the medium, but something happened,
the room was flooded by an electric
light which the doctor had installed
on the quiet for the occasion. The
lady's husband vanished in spiritland,
the doctor chucked the medium
through the door and the meeting
came to a sudden, very sudden, close.

GOOD GOVERNMENT

NROM now until election day every
citizen of Los Angeles who is in
- terested in good government
should be an active participant in the
campaign. Talk good government.
vote good government. Urge them to
be sure to vote good government. Let
us all work together to get out all the
vote, and make the victory of George
Alexander and the other good govern
ment candidates a thorough, complete
success. The size of the good govern
ment vote polled will serve to impress
on the machine and machine Repub-
lican interests realizing sense of the
strength and permanence of the Good
Government movement in Los Angeles.
The moral effect of big victory will
be very great. It's influence will be felt
in every part of the United States. IL
all citizens who believe in good gov
ernment and approve the Alexander
administration will go to the polls and
record their belief and their approval
by voting for a continuance of good
government policies, the opponents of
the rule of the people instead of polit-
icaI organizations, machines and
cliques in municipal affairs will be de-
prived of their last weapon, that weird
sneer in which they are mechanically
indulging. The sneer is neither spon-
taneous nor genuine. 1t is the result
of involuntary muscular action pro-
duced by long-continued bad habits, and
will no more affect the result of the
campaign than would the twitching Of
green frogs hind leg.
Voters should see to 1t that the next
Alexander administration is strong and
GOOD in every department. We COM
mend to the attention of citizens the
Importance Of electing Clarence M.
Taggart as city tax and license col
lector. Economy and business rea-
sons indicate the expedience, the pru-
dence and the public necessity of
choosing a man who will regard the
office from public and not from a
political point OF view. All who do
not wish to run the risk Of having this
important office used as a provender-
provider for S. p. parasites, would
better get busy" and actively adyo-
cate the election Of Mr. Taggart.
Economical and business reasons also
indicate the necessity OF the election of
John S. Myers as city auditor. A good
government city auditor is a direct and
effective protection of the city against
q thousand and one petty CRAFTS to
which it would be subjected by the Sc
lection of a machine and anti-good
government man for this important
position.
A GOOD GOVERNMENT COUNCIL |
should be elected. Such a council will
add an element OF strength to the city |
A city council that can
be relied on-every member of which |
can be TRUSTED-is surely most de-
sirable. The business of the city, |
which with the owens River water and |
power supply and harbor development |
will become vastly more important in |
the near future than ever 1t has been, |
even in the past, wonderful as that |
past has been, may be safely COM |

ment council composed of Josias ]. |

AVIATION

TN ORDER to secure an international
aviation meet the Washington and
- Baltimore clubs have raised a
guarantee of 100000 Yet neither Bal
timore nor Washington, neither Mary
land, My Maryland nor Uncle Sans
I'D. c." can be compared with Los
Angeles and South California in the
possession of natural advantages which
will make an aviation meet not mere
ly an unqualified but an extraordinary
and memorable success.
If cut of these airship trials. should
come one pattern of model that would
be shown to be indisputably and con-
stantly reliable, and If that demonstra-
ton of the practicability of the airship
should be made during aviation week
at Los Angeles, it would constitute an
other triumph in the history of this
city.
We have no doubt the day of the
popular airship is approaching, and we
think the day of the freight-carrying
airship is near at hand. Look at the
old pictures of locomotives and railway
trains. The first railway car was ex-
actly like a stage coach. The invent
ors found it hard to get away from
old ideas But when they finally broke
away, they went with a rush." and
began developing the new rapid transit
idea in a manner that would bring out
Of it the greatest amount of service
ableness to mankind, and that would
also popularize it, making the railway
carriage the poor mans vehicle as we'll
as the rich mans.
The popularization Of railway trains
is THE most remarkable feature of
modern civilization. OF course 1t may
be said the popularization of street.
cars is hardly less remarkable, but it
was the big railway" that furnished
the suggestion for the street railway.
It is impossible to suggest what the
shape, build, weight, or plan of the
popular airship will be, but it is safe
to hazard the opinion there will be as
great a difference between the first
forms and the final popular style as
there is between the first railway train
and the modern Pullman.
1t is in view of what may be the out
come to the public of the aviation trials
that 1t is greatly to the interest of the
people to finance most handsomely
every aviation meet and give every en-
couragement to every gathering of the
kind that is proposed.
Los Angeles is fortunate in having
determined to hold an aviation week.
and every citizen should realize 1t Is to
HIS PERSONAL interest to do HIS
part in making the affair an unqual-
ifed, typical Los Angeles success.

good men and women, of more import
ance than trying to be a politician. If
the women would all begin at home
and do their best to reform their little
corner of the world their votes would
not be needed to put down some of the
great evils in our land. Naturally both
sexes have their virtues and their vices,
and a discussion as to which is the
worst would be altogether out of place.
Woman may have a place in politics,
but IL she must neglect her own home
to fill this place, heaven pity her and
the home!
T. II. seems to rise up as a champion
of the fair sex, and in his righteous
indignation gave Observable credit foe
several statements that were never
made. Anyone who has studied history
and human nature knows that woman
has had hand in the affairs of state,
and even If she has not been given the
right OF franchise her power is left all
over the world Anyone who has read
what the papers have to say about the
suffragettes in England must admit
that their conduct was "unwomanly,"
and they were most certainly "ranters."
A woman may be working in the in
terest Of righteous cause, but If she
descends to the level of a low-class
politician to do 1t she not only Injuries
the cause but all womankind. The re-
latiOn of woman to man can never be
more beautifully expressed than it was
when Longfellow said:
As unto the bow the cord is,
So unto the Is woman.
Though she bends him she obeys him.
Though she draws him, yet she follows;
Useless each without the other.

ROOSEVELT

T HEODORE ROOSEVELT's first
expression of opinion on a public
Il question since he left the United
States was contained in telegram
dated November 19, sent by him from
Eldomaravine, Africa, to Rudolph
Spreckels at San Francisco. The former
president of the Unite States wired:
"Heney man whom all good Ameri-
cans delight to honor. Earnestly hope
he was elected. He rendered inestim-
able services to national government"
Colonel Roosevelt is an ardent sup
porter oe Good Government. He be-
lieves in public officials of the George
Alexander type. He has as little use
for the S. p. machine in Los Angeles
as he had for the Tammany conspiracy
in New York.
