TEACHERS TOUR

A GLANCE at the scores Of the
IN leaders in The HeraId's voting
IA contest for school teachers shows
great interest is being taken In
the proposed school teachers trip
to the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition.
Twelve teachers selected by the people
will visit the exposition as guests Of
Los Angeles Herald. Six of the for
tunate teachers will be selected from
Los Angeles county, three from the
city of Los Angeles and three from the
in each instance will be chosen from
San Bernardino, Orange, Santa Bar
bara, Riverside, Kern and Ventura
counties.
The Herald realizes and believes it's
readers appreciate the fact that school
teachers are engaged in the most i'm
portant work to which any class of the
community could be devoted-they are
engaged in preparing for the duties and
responsibilities Of citizenship the young
men who in a few years will be voting
for public officials; and from whose
rank public officials will be chosen
and in training the young women who
are to be wives and mothers. All school
teachers are conscientious.
The very fact they stick to their posts
of duty through thick and thin, no mat
ter whether the salary is large or small
proves that. Besides being conscien-
tious, they are painstaking and hard
working, and in addition to instructing
our children in various branches Of in
formation they are teaching them to be
conscientious, painstaking and hard
working. The chance of giving some
of these faithful public servants an
opportunity to recuperate from the
strain of hard work and at the same
time to gain new information in an
easy and enjoyable way is one that is
appealing to our readers and to many

DEMAGOGISM

n EMAGOGISM in Sacramento will
not solve any problems in Cali
u fornia. If members of the legis-
lature wish 70 eliminate Asiatic labor
from our industrial life they are not
taking statesmanlike measures 70
achieve that desirable end. They may
mean well-let US assume they do-but
they are pursuing a course which will
cause Irritation, complication, and per-
haps may have an uncomfortable or
even unpleasant sequel President
Roosevelt in his telegram to Speaker
Stanton summed up the situation in
the forceful and straightforward man
ner which charactefizes him. He said:
THE policy of the administration is to
combine the maximum of efficiency in
achieving the real object which the
people of the Pacific slope have at
heart with the minimum of friction and
trouble, while misguided nsen who ad-
Vocate such action against which I
protest are following a policy which
combines the very minimum of eff
cheney with the maximum of insult.
and which, while totally failing to
achieve any real result for good, vet
might accomplish an infinity of harm"
President Roosevelt reminds the peo-
pie of California Through Speaker
Stanton) that by friendly agreement
with Japan the government is now car
rying out a policy which, while meeting
the interests and desires of the Pacific
slope, is yet compatible not merely
with mutual self-respect, but with mu-
tual esteem and admiration between
the Americans and Japanese. The Jap
anese government is loyalty and in
good faith also doing its best to carry
out this policy, precisely as the Amer
lean government is doing. The policy
aims at mutuality of obligation and be-
havior.
Any demagogic or jingo legislation
by California mischiefmakers at this
time will necessarily interfere with mu-
tuality Of obligation and behavior, and
might have serious results to many of
our citizens for a reason which, down
to date, has not been sufficiently en-
phasized. America has treaty rights
in Japan. At time when harbor de-
velopment is a topic of commanding
Importance, surely it is unwise to take
measures which might provoke COM
mercial retaliation on the part of Jap
an. The worst feature of demagogism
is its big, loud mouth.
All over the world, and. of course in
Japan, have been published stories con-
corning the Japanese controversy in
California, and representations have
been made to the effect that "Califor-
MA is engaged in concocting Iegis-
lative measures calculated to offend
and irritate Japan. Fortunately this is
not the case. The people of California
are intelligent, Intellectual, patriotic
and fair-minded, and cannot be influ-
enced by sand-lot oratory or swayed
by the mouthings of cheap agitators
who call themselves statesmen. The
question of Japanese immigration can
be honestly honorably and prudently
settled; but a correct solution for this
problem of the Pacific is not offered by
the trouble-makers whom President
Roosevelt calls misguided men,"

UNITED IRISH LEAGUE HAS
BIG SCRIMMAGE IN DUBLIN
Convention Ends in Free=for-AII
Melee Resembling ProVerbiaI
Donnybrook Fair

DUBLIN, Feb. 9.-The national con-
veption Of the United Irish league,
which was opened today under the
presidency of John Redmond, was the
scene Of a pugilistic outbreak.
William O'Brien spoke in opposition
to the land bill of the chief secretary
for Ireland, and Mr.. Redmond favored
the measure. During the controversy
Eugene Cream, member of parliament
from Cork, rushed to the platform, ap-
parently with the intention of attack
ing Mr.. Redmond. He was suppressed
and hustled away, however.
Then for a few moments the plat
form became a seething mass of angry
disputantS.
Priests and legislators rushed into
the fray and tugged at one another's S
collars, while the rest of the audience
yelled and cheered and shouted encour-
agement to the disputants
Ten minutes or more elapsed before
Mr.. Redmond was able to quiet the
pandemonium.
Resolutions offered by the followers
of Mr.. Redmond in favor of home rule
and Secretary BirreHPs land bill and
expressing confidence in Mr.. Redmond's S
leadership were carried by overwhelm-
ing majoritieS.

RECOMMENDATIONS

n RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S mes
sage with the report Of the coun-
n try life commission shows that
every recommendation made by the
president or his commissioners could
have been anticipated by almost any
observer of rural affairs. However, we
realize the method adopted has been the
best possible way of bringing this mat
ter before the country
The chief recommendations are five
in number: Cooperation, in order to
compel the trusts to pay the farmers
fair prices for their products; country
schools, which will teach the children
outdoors as well as indoors, and give
them practical rural learning as well
as book-learning; good roads; A PAR
GELS POST, and better sanitation.

THE MAYORALTY

nj OF a single argument has as yet
been advanced which would con-
~ stitute a sound reason for retain
ing A. c. Harper as mayor of Los
Angeles. Many silly reasons for
keeping him in office have been put in
print, and in type they look even worse
than they sound. 1t is said by pro
vice paper he should be allowed to
serve out the rest of his time in peace
without interference. 1t is suggested
that if he should be restored to Office
he will be cautious, conservative and
prudent. How runs the old saw?
The devil was sick, the devil a monk would
be.
he.
1t is also alleged it "Iooks bad'' to
recall Mr.. Harper and elect another
citizen to serve as mayor.
OF course we regret that Los Ange-
les has been compelled to adopt such
drastic step as the recall, but desper-
ate diseases need drastic remedies, and
this was not case for half measures.
Great financial interests are at stake
The progress of Los Angeles is at
stake. The prosperity Of Los Angeles
is at stake. The reputation of Los
Angeles is at stake.
1t does not "look bad" to recall a
not only him but the city the subject
of criticism. 1t would '1ook worse to
retain in Office a public servant who
has forfeited the confidence of a large
number of his fellow citizens. The re-
call is equivalent to a vote of mo con-
f1dence." Having voted mo confidence"
in Mayor Harper, it would neither be
consistent nor sensible to restore him
to the mayoralty.
AS a private citizen Mr.. Harper no
doubt will be a useful member of the
community. But in position in which
a trapped rowdy's first impulse is to
call up A. C. in order that everything
A. c. is not the right man to represent
the public in an important official ca
pacity.
The moral sense as we'll as the good
sense Of the community demands a
change Of mayors. Los Angeles has
had enough of a man who is "good
enough" for the irresponsibles. For
the sake of morality, finance and busi-
ness, Los Angeles should have a mayor
who is good enough for everybody, and
will never, under any circumstances,
sacrifice the interests of the city. Such
a candidate will be chosen on Friday
afternoon at a citizens meeting which
will be held at Symphony hall.

DR.. Cook, the Arctic explorer, is lost.
Dillon Wallace is going in search of
him. If Wallace finds Cook and Cook
has found the north pole, and if Cook s
enterprise would not be Of any use to
mankind were it not for the enter
prise of Wallace, whether will Wal
lace or Cook be entitled to credit for
the discovery of the pole? Whether is
it more to the purpose to have discov-
cred the north pole, or to have dis
covered the discoverer of the north
pole, and restored him to a condition
Of efficient publicity?

Let's see. Wasn't it about a week
ago somebody said there wouldn't be
any more than 1900 verifiable names
attached to the recall petitions? From
the point of view of the prophet, it
must be regarded as a rash and some
what unfortunate prediction. 1t is bet
