CANDIDATES

NITIZENS of Los Angeles under the
primaries system of nomination
~ have freedom of choice Of candi-
dates. They are not compelled to ac-
cept the men selected for them by the
machine. In fact, they will be likely
to reject all machine marked or ma
chine made candidates.
In all probability the free citizens
OF Greater Los Angeles will choose
George Alexander as candidate for
mayor and will elect him. The sterling
honesty and rugged righteousness with
which Mayor Alexander has dis
charged the duties of his Office have
been extremely distasteful to the push
but by all others the administration of
Mayor Alexander has been heartily
approved.
The proposed .candidature of Judge
Works for the city council marks a
new era in local politics. Without
the primary system, such a remark
able advance in council quality"
would have been impossible. Judge
Works should be, and probably will
be, nominated for councilman, and his
election Is a certainty.

DECANoNIZED

TNcIE JOE CANNON says Of the
Republican insurgents: Twenty
~ members of the house and seven
senators voted against the Republican
tariff bill They are warning against the
Republican majority in congress and
Against the Republican president who
signed the bill. Either they are Republi-
cans or we are. If they are Republicans I
am not. If am a Republican they are
not. That is my doctrine, and am not
afraid to preach It,"
1t seems to us Uncle Joe is subject
to a charge made against him on
former occasions. He is inclined, with
the French king, to say: "The govern
ment-Tm it." He is the Republican
party. Twenty-seven Republicans who
voted against the Republican tariff bill
are no longer Republicans. They must
no longer be numbered with the elect
with the saints.

cal beatification. He does not canonize.

add: Were 1 an "evolutionist," which
1 am not for lack of proof, would be
a very bitter opponent of every man
or thing that halted or tended to delay

saloon interferes with his best devel-
opment, then / would oppose the sa-

If l were developing a fine race of

that impeded their progress toward
my highest ideal. How could I take
less interest in developing an ideal
race of men?
One reason why 7 do not believe in
the theory of evolution is it destroys
the idea of the common Fatherhood of
God. For if men wiggle up, where
does the common Father come in? If
you destroy the notion of a common
Father you have uprooted the doc
trine of a common brotherhood. Men
would then hold the same relation
toward each other as other animals.
While this, l will admit, would in
the present conditions, still it would
not do to call it ideal l like the idea
that all men came from a common
Father who loves and is interested in
their progress and teaches them to
live as brethren. A horse will calmly
eat his oats while his yoke fellow is
suffering the most eXcruciating pain,
or even dying, while men will do all
they can to comfort and assist dying

this statement all such tyrannical
brutes as Alfonso and his brutal
priests. I do not call such cattle men.
Whatever natural instincts MS men
they inherited have been sacrificed to
a false system of government and
priestcraft. How we should rejoice
that the barbarous system Of placing
"God first the king next, and then
the people," the people the servants
of the ruler. has been supplanted by
"God first, the people next, and then

THE STUDENT

TN MODERN times all the govern
ments of the world have been seri-
n ously perplexed by the conduct of
THE student class" which Is composed
of men who refuse to take a conven-
tional view of right and wrong. argue
the matter radically--that is to say,
from the root--and insist on discover
ing causes rather than in wasting time
damning effects.
1t is curious fact that the student,
who develops a philosophy founded on
history, human nature and the immut-
able laws of action and reaction, initi-
ative, execution and result, almost in
yariably becomes discontented, and re-
fuses to accept the conclusion "all's
for the best because 1t is," or to believe
that if conditions are let alone they
will adjust themselves. He realizes,
with keen consciousness, the cruel, the
fatal untruth of this, and he is forever
i'll antagonism to the chronic social
falsehood, the lie denounced by Jesus,
the cry of Peace, peace, when there is
no peace"
1t is a great mistake to regard the
student as a Red" to denounce him as
'an anarchist" or to hurl epithets at
him. Writers guilty of stupid vituper-
alton of the student on general princi-
pies show their ignorance. If they had
heen in old Jerusalem on a late March
morning some two thousand years ago
their raucous voices would have been
loudest amid the din of the bowling
mob. and they would have shouted
Justify: Away with him! Away with
him! Cruelty him! Cruelty him!"

SMILING SPHINX

II A SMILING SPHINX' is the term
~ applied by O writer in the Sat
IA urday Evening Post to Judge
Robert Scott Lovett, the new chief of
the Hartman roads. According to
this authority, he shares the opinion of
the elder Vanderbilt as to the public's
rights with regard to the great national
public utility, railroading. 1t is the
public's business to pay fares. 1t is the
public's business to pay freight rates.
But when it comes to railroading
methods, results, returns, plans, then,
of the devoted American public we may
repeat what was said about the de-
voted six hundred at Balaklava:
'Theirs not to reason why"
We are told when it comes to saying
nothing and saving wood the judge has
most of his compeers splitting and
piling for him. He has nothing to say
on almost every topic connected with
his business.
when it comes to getting him to
communicate anything he thinks it isn't
up to him to communicate, you couldn't
chop word out of him with an ak.
Still, not even the most saytage seeker
after information would try. or even
think of it, for he is so suave Suave? +?
Huhl Suavissimus. Just like that"
From the description of him to which
we are indebted, we think that to
Lovett a modification of an old saying
might f1ttingly be applied. His policy is
to be "suaviter in modo; fortlter IN
RATES"

ADMITS POLITICS HAS NOT
BEEN PURIFIED BY WOMEN

LOS ANGELES, Oct 19.-[Editor
Herald: The letter of DR.. Humanitas
might lead one to think that Marian
Martin had argued in vain on the suf-
frage question, chiefly because "a man
convinced against his will, is of the
same opinion still.'
The writer, however, wishes to cor
rect an EVIDENT error the doctor is har-
boring in his mind, viz: That Marion
Martin ever attempted strenuously, or
otherwise, to prove that the franchise
in woman's hand has purified politics
in Colorado, or elsewhere. She has
been content to repel attacks made
upon her sex, and is satisfied to have
the cause Of womans advancement po-
litically, with the women themselves.
Marian Martin no more looks to the
enfranchisement of woman for the euro
for graft in politics than does DR.. HUI
manitaS. But she cannot quite agree
with him that it Is not question equal
ly of morals, as we'll as material con-
sideration, that causes a man to be a
bribe-giver as we'll as in bribe- -taker.
1t is true we have been led to think
that only the poor wretch who was
bought was a scoundrel, and the man
or the corporation that made the pur-
chase, was a model citizen, or a val
liable civic necessity. But we have
mixed our standards a bit--much to
the detrlmenL OF our national morals.
Dr. Humanitas further says: "Let us
see what emancipation has brought
her." with as much assurance as IL
the eventful day was here. Bless my
soul does the man really think that
we have emancipated women in our
midst? And to that fact is due the
cause of our present industrial condi-
tions? The doctor has the cart before
the horse, and is backing up to the
real problem.
1t is not the emancipation of wom-
an that has caused an economic con-
dition which has forced woman, as
well as the child. into the office, fac
tory and shop, but rhe economic condi-
ton due to capitalistic greed, which
will, eventually necessitate the COM
plete emancipation of woman to save
her, and her child, as we'll as her yoke
fellow from destruction.

POWDER TYRANNY

IF there is any one circumstance
that should make the nations of the
u world end fighting, furl the battle
flags, and make manufacture of explo-
sives for any but blasting purposes a
penHl offense, it is the calm confess
sion OF the treasurer of the powder
trust that his ghoulish business enter
prise" has become rich on the blood of
all nations having waXed prosperous
by reason Of the wars of the world.
Pierre e. Dupont, the trusts treas
urer, said his company had furnished
all the powder used in all the wars of
the world during the nineteenth CEN
tury.
The trust supplied powder not only
to the United States, but to other coun-
tries. 1t seems to be established be-
yond reasonable doubt that our soldiers
in the Spanish and Philippine wars
were mangled and killed with project
lies hurled by the force of powder made
by an American concern. The suppress
sion of the powder trust would be an
important step toward international
peace. War is extremely profitable to
powder and projectile makers. Even
when governments manufacture their
own engines of destruction. they must
go TO outsiders for raw material, sup
plies, etc.
Undoubtedly the powder trust is the
most dangerous of all the trusts, as
it is a constant menace not merely to
the prosperity of the world but the
peace of the world.

MINISTER SAYS LIBERTY is
LANGUISHING IN DUNGEONS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21.-[Editor
Herald: 1 know L. Gutierrez De
Lara, the Mexican patriot now held
on suspicion by federal officials. have
known him for two years. I have
been permitted to study his character
and purpose. He is mild hammered
cultured. Coming from an illustrious
family with an education far above
the ordinary, he at once impresses one
with his high ideals and patriotism.
Certainly he is opposed to the pres
ent regime In Mexico, and what lib
erty loving man is not? He has lived
to know that every semblance of lib
erty has been smothered under the
reign of Diaz. He knows that the dun
geons of Mexico are teeming with the
brightest literati who are there for
no other crime than their contention
for the enforcement of the constitu-
ton and the rights Of their country
men. He knows Diaz is a dictator
who has ruthlessly overridden the con-
stitution. What is De Lara's crime?
Has he taught anarchy or murder or
melted his people. to massacre? He
knows this would be abortive. His
purpose is to educate his countrymen
and so direct their energies that they
may intelligently and by popular vote
bring about a change. De Lara knows
there are 100000 chattel slaves in Mex
leo. He knows the entire peon popu-
lation of the country is little better
off. He dared to divulge these secrets
to a correspondent of an American
magazine. The Mexican government
wants De Lara. Will the officials of
this government become sleuths and
bloodhounds to perpetuate tyranny
and to suppress free speech and con-
stitutional government? De Lara is
not pleading for sympathy He can
not afford to renounce his convictions.
In the face of popular demonstra-
ton tyrants may cringe and retract,
but it Is nevertheless a fact that lib
erty is either dead in Mexico, lam
gushing in dungeons or exiled from
home. REV T. w. WILLIAMS.
