HERMAN RIDDER POINTS OFT
JOKER IN PAPER SCHEDULE.
Head OF Publishers Association Saws
Presidents Mistake May Cause Re-
taliatiOn by Canada.

Chicago. Oct. 1s.-President Taft
apparently was led into a serious
blunder In the closing days Of the re-
cent session Of congress when ne
changed his attitude on the print pa
per schedule, according to an open
letter addressed to the chief executive
and signed by Herman Ridder, of
New York. president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Mr.. Riders letter, written some
time ago. was made public today. fol-
lowing its Endorsement by the Inter-
national and Daily Press Association.
Mr.. Riders letter follows:
ITO the President:
THE full text of your address at
Winona, Mimi. on the tariK bill pass
ed just come to hand. With the ut
most respect We submit that your
statement respecting the paper sched !
uie shows that you could not have
correctly read or understood what the
print paper paragraph contained, as it
passed the house Of representatives.
you were apparently misled by
designing men into q serious blunder
when. in the closing days OF the tariY
conference. they induced you to re-
verse your previous attitude on print
paper. and changed your notions Of
what the Mann committee recon-
mended and of what the house OF
representatives had approved. The
Mann committee. after a 10-months
investigation marked by unusual
thoroughness. reported that a rate o.
~ would cover the difference in cost
OF production at home and abroad
The draft proposed absolutely safe
guarded American paper mills against
the serious conditions which the ad-
vance by the tariff conferees has since
precipitated.
The fixing OF the rate on print pa
per at 1885 per ton. which you ad-
vised, has decided tho Province Of
Quebec to prohibit the expectation of
its pulp wood and many American
paper mills must close or move TO
Canada to obtain their supplies Of
raw material. The country is now in
fair way for . trade war with Can
ada. because Of your apparent failure
to read correctly tho Mann commit
tees recommendations. We are
threatened with an industrial distur-
bance which will involve business in
terchanges with Canada amounting to
1886 100000 per annum.
I'VE sincerely trust that you can
hnd some method Of rectifying the
mistake into which you were led. We
fully appreciate the difficulties and
responsibilities OF your exalted office.
and we believe you are trying to do
the best you can. We know that YOU
must rely upon others for your in
formation. We feel that every citizen
Is under obligation to help YOU.
Therefore, we write this letter to YOU.
"Very respectfully,
HERMAN RIDDER.

HENEY APPROVES
RECALL CONTEST
NOTED GRAFT PROSECUTOR
HITS REPUBLICAN MACHINE
Lauds Movement and Declares Advo-
Gates of Change in Government
Have Accomplished Great
Reform Work

That the foremost supporters of good
government in California are in sympa-
thy with the recall movement is shown
by a letter from Francis ]. Heney, the
able graft prosecutor of San Francisco,
to friend of his in Los Angeles.
In his letter Mr.. Heney said:
"Yours of March 4, inclosing editorial
clipping from the Los Angeles Herald
on the Harper recall election, is just 10

"Jealousies between newspapers, their
owners and managers cause much or
our bad government by confusing the
public mind.
Il am hearing every day, through my
examination of jurors in the Calhoun
case, that government by the leading
business men of city does not neces-
sarily mean good government from the
standpoint of democracy. Clean streets,
good sewerage, cheap water, light ana
fuel gas, are all important factors IN
good government, or, rather, in ef1-
cient government; but we can have all
of these things and still be long way
off from true democracy. You ana
vour associates have accomplished
some great reforms in the interest of
true democracy, and it is too bad that
the newspaper, which represents OF
aims to represent the interests OF the
laboring class, does not seem to appre-
ciate the full value to thees classes OF
the reform work which you have ac-
complished. The latest amendments to
the charter of Los Angeles make it pos
sible for the people of Los Angeles TO
realize true democracy in their munlci-
nal affairs. Good government, as well
as efficient government, will follow If
the masses of people are not deceived
by false leaders.
'T do not see how anyone can be
blinded to the fact that the Municipal
league is being opposed in the present
feht by the straight lineup of liquor,
vice and corrupt business interests,
which this campaign conclusiVely
proves are in alliance with the So
called regular Republican and Demo
cratic machines. 1t ought to be easy
for anyone to see that the interests OF
tba 1aborine classes and honest busi-
ness class must be on the opposite side
m such a lineup.

MUST NOT CAST
VOTE FOR SMITH
tcontinued from Page one'

next best thing when I cannot do What
1T tell YOU. it is my honest opinion
that Alexander could not in one thou-
sand wears be elected to the otnce OIL
MAYOR by the present council. Iher9-
fore, what is the next sest lnins 70
do? Personally l would like to see the
matter left open until the recall cleo
tion. which the majority of legal talent
states must be held. Such an action
would avoid much legal' enlargement
that must necessarily follow the cleo
ton of a mayor at Mondays meeting.
May Compromise on Stephens
1--WE have partly agreed upon
compromise candidate--one VINO L
think will appeal to you as strongly
e. does Uncle George and that man
is w. D. Stephens. By instructing me
to support Alexander, if l should THINK
it wise to follow such instructions, you
would hurt the interests of Uncle
George and might have forced upon
you another Uncle George, whose last
name is Smith.
II am glad to receive advice and in
structions, but / know | can serve
you better by following my own Judg-
ment and being guided by circum-
stances. Personally the man who is
appointed Monday will hold the office
any harm in that time. Then, at the
recall election, you can vote for and
elect Alexander. You will make seri-
GUS mistake in binding me by resolu-
tions, even though ] would not see my
way clear to follow them"
Mr. Randall was anxious to put
through the resolution by instructing
the councilman to vote for Alexander,
but John Pope, Joy Wynans and 9TH
ers, after hearing Mr.. Dromgold speak,
decided it would be best to allow the
councilman to exercise his own judg-
ment, holding that as long as the SEN
timent Of the meeting was shown to
him as strong for Alexander, a resolu-
tion to that effect and a clause against
his voting for George A. Smith woul1
accomplish the purposes desired.

cordingly was made by George Rice,

There is no reason why 1 should. My

A rumor also is current that Sergeant
James Mcdowell may resign.
Chief of Police Broadhead stated that
he had received no resignaions from po-
lice sergeants.

Chief Broadhead.
1t was generally reported about the
police station and the city hall yester-

early this week.

Mayor A. c. Harper of Los Angeles,
who resigned Thursday, spent prac-
tically the entire day in this city yes

SHAKEUP IN POLICE
DEPARTMENT COMING
Advent of New Administration May
Bring About Many Changes
in Personnel of the
Force

Ruroms that Police Sergeants Glenn
ent j. Redmond and Charles e. Sebas-
tian will hand in their designations
were heard about the central police sta
ton yesterday, and there is much COM
ment as to the next turn of affairs.
Sergeant Redmond has been in charge
of the red-light district for several
years, and if his resignation is handed
in, it presumably will be due to the
information, obtained by opponents of
the present administration concern
ing the state of affairs in that district.
Sergeant Sebastian has been in charge
of the Chinatown district for the last
seventeen months. The rumor that he
would resign came as a surprise to
everyone connected with the officer and
the conditions in Chinatown. Sergeant
Sebastian was the only police officer
praised by the report of the grand
jury.
Il do not intend to hand in my resig-

POSITION OF COMMISSIONS
RAISES KNOTTY PROBLEM

An interesting feature in the compli-
Gated situation as regards the city gov
ernment caused by the resignation of
former Mayor A. c. Harper was point
ed out yesterday by one of the fire
commissioners. The complication comes
i'm over the probable appointment of
commissioners by the mayor whom the
council will select.
If the appointed mayor selects COM
missioners, and they are confirmed by
the council, it appears, under the terms
of the charter, that the mayor, duly
elected in the regular way. who will
take office the first Monday in January,
1910, will fall heir to commissions ap-
pointed for two years and these will
have nearly year and a half to serve
after his election.

State Capitol Has Not Been
Decided Definitely.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 31.-Will the
governor approve or disapprove the
farm selected by the prison commits
sion to be purchased by the state for
the use of white convicts?
This is the all-absorbing question
at the state capitol now, and a division
of opinion relative thereto exists. One
thing is virtually certain, however,
ed is not purchased none will be
bought for the present. White prison
ers will be distributed among the
counties at once, and the farm matter
will go over until later in the year
1t is stated on good authority that
the governor mas employed two ex-
perienced and reliable men to make
an investigation of the property which
has been recommended, and his de-
cision will probably be governed in
large part by their report. They are
said to be in Twiggs county locking
over the place now.
Governor Smith is also investigat-
ing the other three of the last four
properties considered by the commits
sion. These are the Greer property
in Turner county, the Parker prop
erty in Tiff, and the Smith property
in Laurens. His purpose in this is
sal dto be to gain information that
can be had by comparing the places
from which the final selection was
made.
If the place is approved the prison
commissioners will take prompt steps
to put it in operation without any de-
lay.
The prisoners will be quartered
without the use of tents. Buildings
already on the farm will be utilized
and if more room is needed temporary
structures will be erected. During the
summer and early fall permanent
barracks will be built.
