WHAT RIGHT HAS DR.. LOCKE
TO DEPRIVE HIM OF A LIVING

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Since DR. Locke has seen fit
to rush into publicity with a Jeremiad
against the stage and demand that it
be driven out as we would drive out
smallpox, it is strictly in order to ask
what are the doctors ethics.
DR.. Locke was one of the prominent
indOrsers Of TOrrey, who daily breaches
the doctrine Of hell Since DR.. Locke
is raising moral issues 1 wish to ask
him Through your columns if he can
conceive of a more degrading doctrine
than that of the physical torture that
Torrey teaches, that he may reduce
man to abject fear. venture the as
sertion that when he has raked over
the records of the drama for all the
filth that is to be found in it, as in all
literature he will find nothing so in
furious to the race as that doctrine.
This is the question of ethics, and a
very serious one, for it never should
be forgotten that the church at present
is busily at work trying to deprive vari-
of making a livelihood.
If DR.. Locke could have his way
should be driven out into the world a
pauper my family dependent on char
ity the breadwinner's occupation be-
ing gone.
Fancy the howl DR.. Locke would
raise If the theatrical people proposed
that his occupation be taken away from
him, for preaching and indorsing the
immoral doctrine of hell. ACTOR.

GIVES QUICK HOME REMEDY
FOR PTOMAlNE POISONING

SANTA MARIA, Feb. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Will you allow me to give
to the public simple remedy for
ptomaine poisoning through the col
umns of your popular letter depart
ment?
In a case of ptomaine poisoning beat
up three raw eggs and let the patient
drink them. The first dose will prob
ably be rejected by the stomach very
promptly. Have ready another dose
of three raw eggs we'll beaten and
continue this until a dose of the eggs
is retained. The patient will be re-
ment. 1t has been explained by sup
posing that the form of life, whatever
it may be, which enters the stomach
as ptomaine poison, prefers the fresh
eggs and leaves off it's mischief on the
human organism. B. w.

Immense Volume Of Waste
Poured by RiUerS Into Sea

N NE of the most startling facts
coming to the American public
~ from the latest report of the Sec
retary of agriculture is that the rivers
of the United States are annually pour
ing into the ocean not less than 1,000,-
000, 600 tons of sediment; and that this
immense volume of waste consists of
the most valuable elements of. the soil,
the very richest material, as the Sec
retary calls it, ''the cream of the soil. :"
At moderate appraisal the annual loss
exceeds all the land taxes of the whole
country, and this loss is steadily in
creasing instead Of decreasing.
This does not take into account the
coarse detritus which is pushed along
the sides of the larger streams. Then
we have to take into account, beside
the soil impoverishment, that the sedi-
ment pollutes the waters that carry it,
endangering the lives Of those who are
compelled to use them and reducing
their value for manufacturing and
other domestic purposes. In fact, we
have here a combination of evils that

RATES

M UGH interest will be aroused by
wi the proposed constitutional
A'A amendment which has been
drawn up by the attorneys for the
traffic bureau of the San Francisco
Merchants exchange. 1t provides that
each railroad in the state must file with
appointed railroad commissioners COM
plete schedules of rates between diff
ferent points on its own route and
points on the route of any other rail-
road when a through route and joint
rate have been established, and there
after shall not charge or collect any
rates except those contained in the
schedules or fixed by the commission.
For rate violations railroad company
shall be fined mot exceeding $4,000 for
each offense, and every officer, agent or
employe of a company knowingly de-
manding or receiving excessive rates
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
punished by fine not exceeding $4,000
or by Imprisonment in the county Jail
not exceeding one year." Rate viola
ton would be treated as an offense,
and not as smart business"

ALExANDER's PLATFORM

N AVS Honest George Alexander,
- the citizens candidate for mayor:
~ "They are talking about my at
titude on the liquor question and try
ing to make a scarecrow of it. My
record on this question as a member
of the board of supervisors is open
and straightforward and speaks for
itself. In regard to the city and my
stand if elected it's mayor 1 need
only say the question of license or no
license was before the voters of Los
Angeles and they recorded their will
in favor of license. Now, as mayor of
this city would be fool and a law
that decision. That stands as the peo-
pies expressed will, and a mayor who
would override it would be a fool My
platform is to enforce. the laws, not to
make them, and in doing so to give
every business man a square deal. #
they can twist that into pernicious
argument on the liquor question, why,
let them do it,
Mr.. Alexander's views of the may
orally are those of a man familiar
with the duties and responsibilities
of conscientious public office holding.
The business interests of this city Will
feel safe with Mr.. Alexander in city
hall, and the same feeling o. security
will attend every public transaction.

confidence which will be produced by

GREAT SEA PORT

NORRESPONDENT have expressed
high appreciation Of The Heralds
~ editorial article on ''Harbors. -
One reader says we have stated the
exact truth in the words: mo harbor
on the coast is of more Importance to
California and the nation than is San
Pedro" It is the national point of
view we would emphasize. When the
national Importance Of San Pedro is
realized and when the wise men of the
east become keenly conscious Of the
Pacific coast and thoroughly alive to
the responsibility of the nation with
regard to it we have not the slightest
doubt there will be only one seaport
in the country which will be compara-
BILE with San Pedro in national i'm
portance and in national and interna-
tional responsibility, and that is the
seaport of New York
The Panama canal will accommodate
deep draft vessels. Ships of the type
called by the old English poet "levia-
thans'' will be built for the bi-oceanic
trade and trade routes will extend
clear around the world. In addition
to its world commerce San Pedro har-
Dor vill be a distributing and receiving
center for the coastwise carrying trade,
northward and southWard, forming one
of line of seaports which will be
trading stations, covering the entire
Pacific coast, the vast western shore
line of North and South America. This
is not an iridescent dream. With
great coastwise Pacific steamships in
commission the Bureau of South
American Republics" will emerge from
the pamphleteer class and amount to
something. No doubt it has rendered
considerable service to the cause of
American commerce since the days of
Mr.. Blaine's Pan-American congress
but Mr.. Blaine's vision Of North and
South America living in perpetual
peace and making common cause Of
the development of the resources of
the western hemisphere has been sadly
interrupted by petty political revolu-
tions in the south and important eco
nomic and political controversies in the
north. The work has not gone ahead
as fast as Blaine expected. If he were
alive today nothing would more delight
the first man who realized that Amer
lea is a world power than the prospect
Of the maritime Importance of Los An
geles and the improvement and COM
petion of San Pedro harbor on scale
suited to national and international
needs.

Acting Governor of Oregon
VIII Really Be Governor

n ECAUSE there is some question as
n to whether or not Governor
~ George E. Chamberlain of Oregon
will be seated as a member of the
United States senate, a woman will be
the acting governor of that state during
part of next month. In Oregon there is
a primary law under which the people
technically nominate" but in reality
elect, their United States senators. Two
primaries are held. At the first one
the voters of the different parties are
segregated, the Democrats expressing
their choice of Democratic candidates
and the Republicans voting for the Re-
publican candidates. says the Woman S
National Daily. At the second election
the one Democrat and the one Republi-
can candidate who received the highest
vote in their respective party primaries
run against one another, just as if they
were seeking the office of governor.
The one receiving the highest number
of votes is the peoples nominee for
the federal senate. In order to make
this popular election valid without ViO-
lating the federal constitution, which
provides that United States senators
shall be elected by the legislatures, the
candidates for the Oregon legislature
are required by the primary law to file
with the proper state officials declara-
tions Of intention regarding their votes
on the senatorship.
A variety of choices are given them,
but, as we recall the facts, all Of the
members of the present legislature who
have been elected since the new pri-
mary law went into effect pledged
themselves to support the peoples
nominee" Now it happens that Gov

CHILD LABOR

TN THE report of the state board of
charities and corrections the ques-
- ton of child labor is taken up.
Following statements among others are
made: "It is the inalienabIe right Of
every child to have that school train
ing that will enable him, to earn his
living when he reaches manhood. 1t
this right is not denied him, but also
that he is prepared to perform the
duties of citizenship when those duties
shall fall upon him. What an incentive
to honest life is it to send a child out
to work with lie on his lips and a
avaricious parent may gain a little
profit out of his small hands. .
The PARENT has no right to SAP and
weaken his constitution by premature
labor, nor to deprive him of the oppor-
tunity to prepare himself for a useful
manhood and good citizenship. That
there is a strong tendency in this coun-
try to sacrifice the child that the
PARENT may reap profit is undeni-
able. 1--WE ask that sufficient
assistance be given to the commissioner
of labor statistics to permit Of the
proper enforcement of this law, to the
end that the children Of this state may
be given their rights in the public
schools, and not sacrificed on the altar
Of selfish greed"
e. 6I1f xun 6nT1nrQ
the official tendency to blame only the
parent for child labor and to absolve
employers and the system. 1t is true
there are cases of parental greed. 1t
is equally untrue that all cases of child
labor are cases of parental greed. ANY
one who has made an honest inquiry
into this subject knows children have
been employed at periods when parents
found it absolutely impossible to obtain
any kind of employment, and statistics
and facts on this subject collected by
the United States census bureau show
indisputably that some employers, if
not interfered with, would discharge
every adult man in their establishment
and substitute women and children.
One of them, when called on to explain
the absence of men from his shop, said
he had found women and children were
more obedient than men, complained
less, behaved better and made less
trouble. He might have added, he
saved money, because he could hire one
woman and two children for the wage
he would have paid to one man. Isn't
it reasonable to believe ''cheap labor
and the desire for profits has something
to do with the employment of children?

ernor Chamberlain, who is a Democrat,
entered the senatorial race and re-
celVed the highest number of votes,
poth IN the party primary and in the
general primary. The people, however,
elected a Republican legislature, and
for time there was some question
whether the legislators would adhere
to their ante-election pledges and vote
for Chamberlain or would violate their
promises and support the Republican
party nominee. The actual result Of
the legislative balloting was that
Chamberlain was elected, hut as some
of the members, in voting for him, en-
tered protests which will be forwarded
to the senate with his credentials, a
question has been raised as to the
legality Of the election. While this
question is pending Governor Chamber
lain does not intend to vacate the gov
ernor's chair. In other words, he pro-
poses to hold the office of governor un-
til he has been seated as senator.
And here is where a woman comes on
the scene. The Oregon custom has
been for the private secretary to the
executive to become acting governor
during the governors temporary abS
sence from the state. The governors
private secretary is w. N. Gatens. but
Mr.. Gatens has been appointed to the
circuit bench and will take office before
Governor Chamberlain goes to Wash
ington. He is, therefore, eliminated
and the governor announces that he
will promote his stenographer, Mrs. G.
b. Shelton, to the private secretaryshfp
when Mr.. Gatens becomes a Judge.
This, therefore, will leave Mrs. Shelton
IN charge of the governors office.

PRODIGAL SONS

DADEREWsKI says he gives his
prodigal stepson a regular allow
ance and adds: Anyway. the
LAD is 80 years old, and should be
able to look after himself" Under or
dinary conditions most lads of 80 and
upward are supposed to be able to look
after themselves. But prodigaI sons
are favored beings. 1t does not matter
how old they are-they are never held
to the responsibilities of their years.
When Jack comes home from the sea
Cor somewhere mother and father still
run whooping down the hill to meet
him while the serving man assassin
ates the pet calf; but Jim, who has
raised the calf and has done the farm
work and the housework and has even
got the meals on the table for his
old folks, is ignored.
If PaderewskPs stepson had been an
industrious youth his nose would have
been kept at the grindstone and the
thrifty Paddle, instead of making him
an allowance, would have been charg-
ing him board. What is the use of
having hard-working sons if you don't
make them pay board? But sons that
won't work must be provided for.
Twas ever thus. Yet we suspect Mr..
Paderewski was expressing his con-
vtctions as well as his sentiments when
he said his lad Of 80 SHOULD be able
to look out for himself. Probably the
giddy young three decader WOULD be
able to look out for himself if he were
an ordinary American hustler and not
a pampered Polish prodigal.

human language cannot cover or hu-

yet begun to do our duty in the way
Of forest preservation and other means

the heaviest part of this soil waste.
The department Of agriculture insists
that as the evils begin on the farm,
steadily destroying farm values, the
remedies must also begin at the farm,
and it has become a national duty to
prescribe the remedies and enforce
them. The chief individual contribu-
tlon to an improved agriculture, with
less waste is along the line Of inten-
slve culture in the place of careless
extensive farming. Collective action
will follow individual action; but to
certain extent state and national ac-
ton is demanded as preparatory. To
all this the biologists add the consid-
Grafton that the constant addition of
sediment to the bottom of the ocean
changes the weight and stress on the
earth's crust in its weaker portions,
and is a cause Of earthquakes, says the

The Only Way They Can Get the Money

the election Of Mr. Alexander. There
is no doubt the prosperity of the city
will be increased by the elimination
from city hall of every potentiality of
evil. Los Angeles as a business COM
munity does not want to retain in
position Of authority man who MAY
do what is right, especially if he is
closely watched. 1t prefers a man
who WILL do what is right because
he believes in doing what is right and
does what is right for rights sake.
Conscientious, responsible, efficient
and experienced, Mr.. Alexander will
truly give the city the business mans
administration" in regard to which so
much has been said and SO little done.
One of the most noteworthy charac-
teristics of Mr.. Alexander's methods
of campaigning is his utter fearless
ness. Here is a man with a long rec
ord of official public service, who IN
all that record has nothing to be
ashamed of, nothing which needs to
be apologized for, nothing vainly de-
manding explanation. His life as an
office holder, like his life as a citizen,
has been an open book that may be
read and known Of all men. If only
that the city may have rest and pros
perity, well may we work and pray
for a mayor whom everybody can
TRUST. We ask our readers to make
the success of Mr.. Alexander a matter
Of personal concern.
Boost him. Work for him. Win votes
for him. Vote for him.

SPELLING CONFUSION

n ROM abundant expert knowledge
of the subject we are discussing
u we wish once more to enter a pro-
test against the waste of time and
money. represented by the laborious ef-
forts of the simplified spelling board
the members of which are attempting
to square the circle by continuing to
spell polyglot language with a<Latin
alphabet. The modern language used
in the United States and the British
empire is not English" although it
is often called English. In America,
spoken by Americans, it is the Ameri-
can language. 1t comes nearer than
any other to being a universal Ian
guage. 1t is composed of words de-
rived or taken bodily from seventy
languages and dialects, ancient and
modern.
There is hardly a foreigner on the
face of the earth who cannot recognize
in our composite or cosmopolitan Ian
guage words or traces of words with
which he is familiar In the course Of
its long history of annexation the Ian
guage has developed some eccentrici-
ties, from which we are suffering more
or less consciously, physically, mental
ly and financially, and which will yet
cost the race a pretty penny" When
the Normans conquered England and
the Latin church ''ecclesiasticized' it
the old alphabet was discarded and an
attempt was made to suppress the old
speech. The language refused to be
suppressed, and absorbed the language
of the conqueror. Much interesting in
formation on this subject may be OBJ
tanned in Sir Walter Scott's novel,
"Ivanhoe' and in Kingsley's "Here-
ward, the Last of the English" That
title may be somewhat surprising to
people who do not know the modern
English are a comparatively new mixed
race. The pure races in the British
isles are the Irish, their cousins, the
Scotch, the Welsh and the Manx, who
resent being Jumped i'm with the
anomalous inhabitants of England, al
though all are members Of the British
empire.
We enter into this pedagogical detail
because we wish to make plain that In
the attempt to simplify the spelling uf
language which represents exactly
the mixed races which use it, mas
much as it is the most annexationist,
piratical and predatory Of all the Ian
guages, nothing but confusion can re-
suit. The third list of the simplified
spelling board proves conclusively that
the method adopted by the board won't
work and that alphabetical reform and
not spelling reform is what is needed.
For instance, in a list submitted by
the simplifers We find "disciplin, en-
gin, imagin." Why did they leave
the ''c'' in discipline. where phonetica1-
ly it is redundant? What have we be-
yond guess work to lead us to the con-
clusion that by "engin" they mean
engine and not the Scotch word for
Onion? We would have thought the
obvious method OF reforming the, SPELL
ing of engine" with the limited means
afforded by the lame and imperfect
Latin alphabet would have been "en-
jim"
But even at the best-and we submit
that the best is not represented by the
crude and amateurish work Of the sim
plified spelling board-simplified SPELL
ing with an archaic and limited Latin
alphabet is folly and will lead to con-
fusion worse confounded.

1t is too bad President Roosevelt has
drawn upon himself the censure of the
Society for the Advancement of India
because he praised British rule in
India. At the same time the church
people before whom the president laud-
ed the Indian government knew full
well that if it were not for British rule
there would not be a Christian church
or a white missionary in Hindustan.
President Roosevelt was talking to a
church audience and it was this eccle-
siastical fact he had in mind. Presi-
dent Roosevelt generally knows what
he is talking about. He knows what
to say, and when and to whom to say it..
