O'ROURKE SUSTAINED
 BY NATIONAL BOARD IN LUYSTER CASE

ford as he is subject to the Pirates draft from the Fayetteville team in the North Carolina league. The drafting price is S750.
 The whole story is most interesting and Clarkin cuts a rather sorry figure in it. Originally Luyster was fined and suspended by the Hartford man. agement the fine being set at $250. This was the latter part of September 1907 and the punishment was imposed because Clarkin alleged that Luyster was contract jumper Clarkin in his own statement to the arbiters affirms that ORourke early during the, sea- son of 1909 asked him to have Luyster reinstated and let ORourke have him. Clarkin says he agreed to do so pro viding O'Rourke would pay the $250 fine. Clarkin then adds that he un- derstood that after O'Rourke had gone to all the trouble of getting Luyster reinstated the player refused to. re- port to Bridgeport saying he would never play ball for Jim O'Rourke. Clarkin concluded by saying that O'Rourke had an offer of $550 for Luvster and that he Clarkin, claimed half of the sum to reimburse him for the fine he imposed and other expen- ses.
 Following the presentment of his case to the national board by Clark in Mir ORourke was asked to sub init his testimony and he did so. He told of first obtaining Clarkin's con sent to his request for the reinstate- ment of Luyster via a telephone con versation held May 27. 1909. The rec ords of the national board contain in full the detailed statement of Mana ger ORourke in which Clarkin is lib orally quoted. The Hartford manager is quoted as denouncing Luyster se- verely and declaring that O'Rourke was the 'only man in the world'' for whom he would do that favor. to wit: allowing Luyster to be reinstated
 Relying upon the word of Clarkin that he had full permission to deal with Luyster, Manager ORourke went ahead with the proceedings looking to the reinstatement of the player which under his direction became an accom- plished fact. Manager O'Rourke in his deposition described his visit to Eliza beth, N. J., told of his meeting Luys-

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women 1 ana willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, ,Graniteville, Vt
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, 1broid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs buo little to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs Barclay says, it is worth noun tains of gold to suffering women.

Body Blow from Baseball Court for Managing Own
 CT of Hartford Club
MUST GIVE UP $55O

Manager owner James H. Clarkin of the Hartford baseball club has quit loser in his battle in the domains of baseball lore with Managing Owner James H. O'Rourke of the local lea que team. The cause celibre concern ed William Luyster a former player of the Hartford team who was re- leased to ORourke by the Hartford magnate and whose services were re- claimed by the latter when it was seen that there was chance to pick up some easy coin by disposing of the player to a big league team.
 Information reached here to-day that the National Board had upheld the contention of Manager O'Rourke and had decided against the claim of Clarkin. The latter held that the title of Luyster was vested in the Hartford club and that he had the right to dis pose of him as he saw fit. Manager O'Rourke emphatically repudiated the statement of Clarkin and his testi- mOny was corrOborated in ample fash ion by W. J. Tracy president of the Connecticut league, J. F. Kennedy su- perv;sor of umpires and John McKen- ma one of the local players each of whom made affidavit to having heard Clarkin release Luyster to MT. O'Rourke.
 The National Board has decided that Luyster was not the property of the Hartford team when he was sold through Dan O'Neill, as scout for the Pirates, to the latter aggregation for S55O and as a consequence MT. C1arkin will have to go into his jeans and pony up the $550 which he received, the aforesaid sum being ordered re- turned to Pittsburg.

CONSOLIDATION

~ ENATOR SAVAGE'S effort to cor
raj the legislative committee that
~ is visiting San Pedro and to jun
ket the members into harmnoy with his
anti-consolidation sentiment should
meet with failure. The northern legis-
lators, from whom he expects sympa-
thy and support, should cold-shoulder
him. The northerners, especially those
in favor of the retention of the capital
at Sacramento, remember too well
what Los Angeles did for them at the
recent election to be won easily to the
Savage or anti-Los Angeles point of
view. Savage's attempt to capture the
northerners should be rebuffed and re-
buked. His latest effort to interfere
with consolidation plans is another ev-
idence Of the fact that until the con-
solidation fight is won citizens must
be unremitting in vigilance. The foe
is cunning. crafty and INSCRIPTIONS;
experienced in every devious political
way.
Albert NJ. Norton Of Los Angeles,
who is heartily praised by represen-
tatives of the peoples lobby for his
work in aid of the consolidation bill,
says: While the consolidation bill is
absolutely safe and is certain to pass,
it is a lasting disgrace, a shame and
an insult to the people Of Los Angeles
that it has become necessary for this
city and its civic organizations to
maintain a vigilant lobby at Sacrament
to in order to see that measures af-
fecting the vital interests and welfare
of this great and populous territory
pass the legislature. Mr.. Norton is
firmly convinced that if it had not
been for the work of this lobby the
consolidation measure would have been
showed under.
Stnator Savage has made a star rec
ord with regard to consolidation, but It
is a record for consistent faithlessness
to constituents and to public duty. He
| has devoted all his time and all his
energy to fighting consolidation. He
has misrepresented the people. He has
| represented the interests that are op-
posed to consolidation. He has mis-
used his position. He has done all
the things he ought not to have done
and left undone the things he ought to
have done, and there is no political
health in Senator Savage.

WOULD FAVE TRIAL BY JURY
REPLACED BY TRIAL BY JUDGE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20.-[Editor
Herald]:s A trial by jury is the law
yer's graft. Look, for instance, at the
expense of the many weeks it has
taken to obtain a jury in the Calhoun
trial, as well as the Carmack trial at
Nashville, Tenn. Both trials will cost
unnecessary thousands of dollars, be-
sides the uncertainty of an agreement,
causing the same expense over again
and perhaps in the end the case will
be thrown out of court and the alleged
criminals go free. Legal technicalitieS
are the results of the efforts of law
yerS for the purpose of prolonging
trials, so they may obtain larger fee.
1t is seldom the case q, man or wo-
man is tried by a jury of his or her
peers. The fact is that trial by jury
is an old custom borrowed from mon
archical England and is an expensive
| travesty on justice and an imposition
on the people and taxpayers. 1t is
also fact that lawyers use every pos
| sible means to aid criminals to escape
| justice.
Our laws are a conglomeration of
| technicalfties and ought to be remod-
eled. The cost to the people in the
case of Morris Buck, some years ago,
! was $2627.50 for his trial for the cold
! blooded murder of Los Angeles Wo-
man. In every case trial by jury is a
graft system established by lawyers
| who have made the laws. The intelli-
| gent people of the twentieth century
should do as did Emperor Justinian of
Rome, who ordered all law books
| burned, they were so cumbersome.
| A prominent New York magazine
once remarked: "Ninety-nine out of
| every hundred of the ablest lawyers
are retained by men whose interests
are in conflict with the public veal,
| and lawyers advocate legislative
| measures which as citizens they would
| not approve"
| Is it not time that the peoples eyes
were opened at the unnecessary ex-
| pense attached to jury trials, as we'll
as the danger of criminals escaping
! justice? The objector would naturally
! ask: What would you substitute for
the jury?'' My answer would be, let
every civil or criminal case be tried by
three judges, two to decide, with ap-
| peal only to three other judges where
| supposed injustice had been done, and
when said judges fail to do their duty
! let them be subject to recall, which
would save millions of dollars to the
American people and Justice would be
administered to all. Is it not about
time that the people instead Of law
yers should run our judiciary?

SAYS TOO MUCH CLAPTRAP is
USED TO EXPLOIT LINCOLN

LONG BEACH, Feb. II. -[Editor
Herald: The last week has seen and
heard much parade and many words in
honor of Lincoln. Much that has been
said is just and true and measures well
with the character Of the man. Much
of the talk was paltry claptrap OF
which the uttererS should be ashamed.
Here was q; man born to less of the
good things of life than are the most Of
US; with no advantages but his pow
erty, with blood in him that had gath
cred quality and nobleness from some
remote ancestor, and conscious from his
EXTREMIST youth he had such blood and
mission ahead, he had kept himself
worthy of his ancestry; handicapped
with an awkward physique, but with a
beautiful grace of spirit that you may
hunt for elsewhere in vain; doing
everything well; trusted without bono !;
pushed into place by his fellows be-
cause he belonged there; when there
was a question before the nation, al
ways on the right side whatever the
cost; a man to whom the old Latin
proverb, mil tetiget quOd non Ornavit''
Che touches nothing but he ornaments
it, could we'll apply; man who lived
without an enemy and left world
weeping when he died. Yet there are
sniVelerS who are wasting their breath
and the time of crowds in endeaVoring
TO prove tnaC L1nCOInS S tneOlOgy was
sound; that he at some time-perhaps
under the stress of some grief-hinted
he had a creed.
Oh! these SNUG hunters for defama-
ton! These thrusters of their little
nesses between mankind and it's heroes!
These Slanderers who say, by implica-
tion, if Lincoln was not a SWalloWer Of
my doXy he was damned!
Why, the man lowered above these
ToT TIrvyt |,
dwarfest of his foothills They have
no appreciation of the value of him to
the age, to the world. He will be
honored and embalmed in human
memory when these stingy beliefs are
buried in oblivion along with the names
and personalities of their promoters.
The world is sorely off for standards
of character. Somebody said long ago:
''The world is out of tune now, but it
will be tuned again, and all discord
shall become harmony" When wars
and fightings shall cease and the strife
of humanity shall no longer be who
will love most and help the readiest;
when the tyrant steeple shall no longer
tower in sky-aspiring contempt of hu-
manitys covering dwellings about its
base; when pulpits and priests, hang
men and generals, gibbets and jails
shall be baniShed from the delivered
earth, then shall music be heard where
they used to stand; then shall the hills
break forth into singing and all the
trees of the field shall clap their hands.

CANNY AND STUBBORN

A CCORDING to the Evening News,
II George Alexander is a Scotchman
either by birth or descent; conse-
quently the writer will not be accused
OF prejudice against the Scotch in say
ing that George Alexander possesses
some of the virtues and many of the
drawbacks Of the unspeakable Scot"
We do not know what our contem-
porary means by the expression "the
unspeakable Scot" and neither does
our contemporary. The phrase has
been borrowed from a notorious book
written by a paretic Englishman, whose
case was attended to promptly by our
old friend Nemesis. The evening paper
from which We have quoted adds
gravely: "Mr. Alexander possesses
SOME of the virtues and MANY Of
the drawbacks" of said "unspeakable
Scot
This judicial apportionment of the
virtues and alleged defects of Honest
George Alexanders character won't do.
Every human being possesses virtues
and defects" But the sneaking at
tempt to prove there are more defects
than virtues in Mr.. Alexander's make
up" is as stupid as it is dastardly. The
insinuating maligner, the "knocker," is
worse than the honest opponent. The
News charges further that Mr.. Alex
ander, not content with being Scottish
(by blood-We presume our contem-
porary will agree with US he is a typ
ical and exemplary American) is ''stub-
born" and 'a bit canny in his political
proceedings" Well, we want someone
who is stubborn and who is canny in
his political proceedings. That is ex-
actly the type of citizen who is needed
at the present crisis in the municipal
and financial affairs of Los Angeles.
This city is to be congratulated heart
lily on the opportunity of putting in
office a man who, even by his foes, is
called stubborn" and "canny in his
political proceedings" A cautious and
firm man is the man for the mayoralty.
We have had enough rash laundering
If the accusation that Mr.. Alexander
is a canny and stubborn Scot is to be
made an issue in the campaign we hope
it will be proclaimed far and wide, for
it will help the credit of Los Angeles
and will be an immediate contributory
cause of increased prosperity.
