SAVAGERY

HIGHLY undesirable touch of
A wild westism has been given our
"A staid California life by the story
of the blood-lust of willie Boy" the
Piute who murdered the father Of a
girl with whom he eloped, and after
ward, finding his stolen sweetheart re-
tarded his flight from justice, killed
her. This tragedy of savagery in civ
ilization suggests that California's
Yesterdays take us directly to the time
when human life was cheap, and, even
among white men of a lawless type,
such a deed as that of willie Boy
might have been considered reckless
beroism rather than reckless criminal
ity.
The story of Willie Boy recalls
what General Sherman said on the
subject of Indians. 1t is almost
iupossibIe to civilize an Indian
thoroughly. The best that can be
accomplished is to cover him with
what has been called a thin veneer of
civilization. But how deep is the civ
ilization of the white man? And in
the chronicles of crime, are not trag-
edies as gruesome and as woesome
as that Of Willie Boy and his stolen
sweetheart recorded with appalling fire.
auency? The white man must COM
plete his own civilization before he
criticises harshly the desperate deeds
of outlaws like Indian Willie Boy,
who find it easy to revert to the primi-
tive instinct which makes the lover
slay those who would keep him from
assoclating with the object of his af-
fections, and then when he is being
hunted down, bids him, in the words
Of the poet, kill the thing he loves"

suers.

SOUTH CALIFORNIA

I OS ANGELES downtown branch of
I the postofice has placed the sign
Il South California" over the letter
drop for our part of the state. Thus
do coming events cast their shadows
before" We think that name is there
to stay. Since Uncle Sam has made
up his official mind that this is South
California" we think South Californi-
ans have good reason to believe their
logical contentious as to the rights of
the Sunny Southland are sustained by
good authority. South California has
it's own interests, and as long as it is
dominated by northern influences these
interests cannot be taken care of prop
erly. The harbor of Greater Los Ange-
les is the natural seaport of South Cali
fornia. 1t helps establish the identity
of this part of the state. In the east,
in order to produce conditions like those
which control us here, we would have
to imagine a condition under which
New York harbor would dominate one
part of a big state, and Philadelphia
harbor another. This is unthinkable;
yet it is not one whit more preposterous
than the condition which prevails on
this coast.
There is as much territorial senti-
mentality on the Atlantic as on the
Pacific coast, yet Jersey City and Ho-
boken, which are seaport cities, are not
in New York, and it has never been
deemed proper to do away with the old
state division which gave the state of
New Jersey one first-rate harbor sea-
port and the state of New York an
other. one big seaport to each sea-
board state seems to be the allowance
sanctioned by "use and won't" 1t is
natural there should be a desire on the
part of many far-seeing citizens to
bring state division into practical poll
tics. There are many reasons why
this step should be taken, and to citi-
zens of this maritime metropolis
Greater Los Angeles-the proposed sep
aration of politics in a case where there
is already separation of interests and
where there is also a marked and def
mite geographical and climatic separa-
ton, should appeal with peculiar force.

AS TO KNITTING

AEUSHETS little newspaper or
N ganette says of the public SER
4iA vice: IAN official makes good,
shows unusual ability and integrity and
is promptly knitted in the majority of
cases for serving the people" This is
its argument In favor of the promotion
of Mushet So, in order to promote
Mushet, a gentleman whose record in
educational provision and other mat
ters is neither lawless nor above re-
proach, It is advocating and clamorlng
for the knitting of Mayor George Alex
ander, one of the worthiest citizens of
Los Angeles who ever in all its history
put his shoe leather below the mayors
table.
The Inconsistency OF the organette
is painful. We deplore it, and wonder
how any kind of an institution ever can
get into such a tangle. We don't be-
lIeve In knitting officials or any other
holders of responsible positions because
they have been efficient. SO far we
agree entirely with our little friend.
But we cannot understand the train Of
reasoning which makes our friend think
that possibly, by a concession to cir
cumstances two and two, which add
neatly up to four in one instance,
might be elasticized to five in another
instance. When it comes to pointing
to a mans record as proof of his fit
ness for public office, then what's the
matter with Mayor Alexander's record?

RATES AND GROWTH

Is ton may often serve rs an ex-

to give itself a boom ty going back

portatlon to the river where it started.
Leading citizens have announced they
are sick and tired of fighting oppres-
slve and repressive railroad rates, and
# the railroads propose 10 hog the

way out for the business man and
producer of goods-the water way, sup
plemented by auto-truck service ashore.
Old timers are recalling the fact
railroad prosperity resulting in rail-
road domination has led to railroad
bullyragging, and a condition has been
produced with the railroad as the Of
fender) precisely like that which the
aid of the railroad was invoked to
ameliorate years ago, when the rail-
road was young, and the water way
was old, and monopolistic and oppres-
sive.
The merchants, ranchers and manu-
facturers went about the work of
planning deliverance from railroad
rates with much method and sagacity.
A boat line was organized, and the
Missouri was navigated successfully
for a season with small boats bought
by contributions.
But an enterprising citizen saw that
boat line supported by contributions
was only makeshift, and he decided
to put water freight on a business
basis. He obtained freight contracts
from shipping interests guaranteeing
a satisfactory return on the invest
ment, and then called for stock con-
tributions. Now Kansas City owns it's
own boat line, and every man in the
city who owns home or pays taxes
of any kind will be asked to buy stock
in the boat line.
As an Illustration of the effect Of
water competition on railroad rates,
figures found in the report of the Up
per Mississippi River Improvement as
sociation show that for a 25 per cent
greater distance boats carry freight
for from one-third to less than one
fourth of the rate charged by the
railroads. Steamship lines and the
Panama canal will adjust the rates

San Pedro harbor and the canal the
growth Of Greater Los Angeles will
be much faster than it has ever been

pacity has not been able to prevent it
from making the most wonderful and
the most prosperous growth of which

DECLARES OCTOBER 21, NOT

that September 9, 1852, should be reck-

America was discovered Friday Oc-

and October 5, 1852, was made October

DEMOCRACY

high tariff, and there were many
members of the so-called Grand Old
Party" who would have been glad to
see an honest reform rather than
shuffling and inadequate revision. They
believe the time has come for reform.
They believe the people want reform.
They realize the people, overwhelmed
by conditions, don't care a button for

Tariff reform will bring back to pub

pet call, which will arouse the legions
of Democracy, restore a regard for the
rights of the majority of American
citizens-the wage earners, and estab-
lish Democratic policies which will
have for their purpose the greatest

protection of trusts 1t will substitute

SECRETARIAL

~ ONE of the eastern papers are he
roizing an individual who after a
~ brief fitful flash of limelight had
illumined him relapsed into the dark
ness which we are sure he loves rath-
er than the light. We refer to the pri-
vate secretary of the janitor of the
secretary of state of the state Of Cali
fornia.
We cannot forget the report of Con-
troller Nye said the janitor of the sec
retary of state "drew down" a salary
Of $1,000 a year. and the private secre-
tary of the janitor Of the secretary Of
state Of the state of California drew
down" salary of $1,000 year.
At first it seems rather droll a janitor
should need private secretary, but,
after all, why not, especially if the
people are willing to pay his salary?
A janitor's private secretary should
be a busy man, especially when the
janitor is the janitor of the secretary
Of state.
Let us suppose, for example, the sec
retary of state wants to keep his door
CLOSED WIlllC lb 6IltlS llILO d COIllGl ClAGC
with some all-fred important person
age-Walter Parker, mayhap-with re-
gard to the possibilities of a rump
system of government in Southern
California.
Do you think he summons the jani-
tor and says unto him, "Sirrah, keep
the door closed lest come Of the wis
dom of Walter, perchance, leak out and
become transformed into printers ink"
Nay, verify! He calls the private
secretary of the janitor and dictates a
letter to him in which he humbly re-
quests him to have the door closed.
The janitor dictates and sends back
reply which says: Seeing it's Wal
ter, I'll have your order carried into
effect" Then somebody shuts the door,
and nobody knows who did it or why it
was done.
It is believed the janitor's private
secretary is desirous of engaging d
stenographer and typewriter, if he can
get the necessary appropriation. Then
there will be chance for some ambi-
tious typetapper to enter the state
government service as the stenogra-
pher and typewriter of the private sec
retary of the janitor of the secretary
Of state of the state OF California.

THINKS PEARY DESERVES
SEVEREST CONDEMNATION

OCEAN PARK, Sept. 3O.-[Editor
Herald: Your recent editorials dealing
with the behavior of Commander Peary
express so far as it is in the power of
words to do the public sentiment rela-
tive to that incident. While it is well
to avoid condemnation, there are cir
cumstances and conditions which de-
serve unmeasured condemnation and
distinct repudiation.
In all our extensive vocabulary there
are not words enough or words suf-
ficiently expressive to fittingly charac-
terize the actions of Commander Peary.
For his orders relative to stores left by
Dr. Cook at Annatok he should re-
ceiVe at least the punishment merited
by any other criminal. BY contrast
plain, ordinary thievery is almost re-
spectacle.
Whatever the navy may or may not
do to rid itself of one who is at the
very least a detriment to the service
it is quife within the power of the
public to make this officers name a
synonym for all that is reprehensible,
and to say that such or such one is
a Pearish, Pearyfied or Pearylike per-
son may well come to be regarded as
the ultimate insult.

POUNDS OF FLESH

HROM pensive Pennsylvania comes
III the melancholy story of love
Il affair which cost the party of the
second part twenty-five pounds OF
flesh. On finding that as result OF
having been Tilted she was likely to
waste away, the fading damsel sued
the jilter, a school principal, and es-
timated the injury to her feelings by
the physical injury she had sustained
Twenty-Five pounds of flesh at $1,000 per
pound amount to 1000. That is the
sum she seeks to recover from the man
who played her false.
If the contention of the Tilted school
teacher that human flesh is worth
$1,000 a pound should be sustained we
will have a new way of arriving at an
estimate of what human being is
worth.
Among some of the savage tribes Of
Africa the biggest man is the best.
His physical proportions, no less than
his admirable and sportsmanlike quail
ities, made Theodore Roosevelt pop

glemen. The Zulus, the most tntelli-
gent and progressive race in Africa,
We're ruled during an exciting period
of their history by their biggest man,
veritable mountain Of flesh named
Cetewayo. We don't know the method
by which the Pennsylvania school,
mann reached the conclusion that hu-
man flesh is worth $1,000 per
pound but we see a new meaning in
the expressions, "a man of substance" 1"
"a man of weight in the community

WOULD KEEP SUFFRAGE
QUESTION BEFORE PUBLIC

GLENDALE, Oct. 4-[Editor Herald:
We are glad to have Marion Martin
come forward again with the question
of equal suffrage. This burning propo-
sition should be kept before the peo-
pie till in the name of righteousness
and justice the plea of the good, true
women of our state and nation is
heard.
1t is not the idle frivolous women
who demand this inalienable right, but
the home makers and the home keepers
of our country who have so long borne
the burden of taxation without repre-
sentation, and those Of scanty wage.
All because OF sex. Not because of
mental inferiority, but because we
can not and would not help defend our
country by the sword, Give her equal
suffrage and her power will become
greater than might, for she will ever
work for policies of peace. With this
right (Which is hers without asking)
q new type of woman will eventually
appear who will live on a bigger in
tellectual plane. She will become more
independent, less frivolous, with better
homes, fewer divorces and healthier,
better cared for children.
The present high prices of all food
and the increased cost of living must
call forth an army of women bread
winners, and with economic indepen-
dance she will successfully compete in
the same spherU of employment with
the same wage paid her as that of
men. 1t will be bar to unhappy al
liances, because by her independence
she can earn her own living, furnish
her own home and bless the world for
having lived.
We are confident that our great
progressive California will be among
the foremost to bid woman come into
her own. The chivalry of our state is
at stake till this privilege is accorded
to woman. ANNIE ORD.
