ASKS PERTINENT QUESTIONS
ABOUT FOOTBALL CONTESTS

WHITTIER, Nov. 1.-[Editor Her
add: Football must be judged by the
universal rule-does it do or tend to
good? If 1t does it should be encour-
aged. II not, are the evils inherent
in the game or may they be eliminated
and the game kept? 1t is alleged
against it that 1t is a dangerous, rough,
brutal and brutalizing game. That it
turns its players and devotees into
rowdies, ungentlemanly wretches. That
annually il causes the death of a large
number of thoughtless boys and Grip
Piles a much larger number for life.
That IT violates the golden rule, the
precept, In honor preferring one an
other" IF a man smite thee on the
one cheek, turn to him the other also"
and all the nicer feelings which are
specifically characteristic of the Christ
life. Denominated the kindly affec-
tions" which Christ came to instill
and that the alleged Christian college
which encourages it has failed to un-
derstand or appreciate the sensitive
tenderness of the Masters spirit which
shrank from inflicting pain. That it
belongs to a barbarous age and with
war and all kindred developments of
the animal man should cease.
No doubt 1t sets false standard OF
courage before young men and empha-
sizes the brute courage rather than the
moral and higher. 1t may be said,
however, that every game vigorously
played to win Is subject in some de-
gree at least to the same objections.
The game seems to be very attractive.
Is 1t so because of the skin or because
of the intense excitement-a species of
intoxication-that attends upon it, and
are broken legs and necks necessary
to satisfy the attendants, as blood is
to satisfy the followers of bull fights?
II not, then why cannot the game be
modified so as to eliminate the danger
and reduce the roughness to a mini

next signpost. For instance, Lloyd
George. chancellor of the exchequer OF
the Liberal government of Great Brit
ain, recently asked, who made l0,OOO
people owners of the soil and the rest
of us trespassers in the land OF our
birth? What is responsible for the
scheme of things whereby one man is
engaged through life in grinding LABOR
to win a bare and precarious subsist-
ence for himself, and another man VINO
does not toll receives, every hour or
the day, every hour of the night, while
he sumbers, more than his poor neigh
Dor receives In a whole year OF toil?
Here we have a Liberal minister
voiclng the very spirit of Socialist
propaganda, If he only knew 1t and
would open his mind to the full logical
import of his own questions.
The same statesman also said but a
few weeks ago that he could name
twelve men whose average In
come during any one of the worst days
of depression would suffice to main
tain in comfort during the whole of one
month at least $4,000 workmen and
their families"
If such views are honestly held, how
comes it, / wonder, that Lloyd George
holds Office in a Liberal government
which supports the present capitalist
system? OF course / only quote him as
a typical case. We have others-any
of them-whose pious utterances and
academic attitudes are just as much at
variance with their official records.

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUES
ENDORSEMENTS

n HE HERALD wishes to congratu-
late the Democratic league upon
Il the excellent material that 1t has
indorsed for nomination for members
of the next city council of our city.
At the same time we cannot help ex-
pressing some surprise at the failure
of the league to indorse Mr.. Wash
burns candidacy.
It appears to The Herald that Mr..
Washburn is one man as to whose can
didacy there should be no two opin-
ions in the minds of the citizens Of
Los Angeles. He has in many ways
placed the city under obligation to
him and shown his devotion to its well
fare in the past.
The interest which he took In educa-
tion as a nonpartisan member Of the
school board went far toward putting
the school department of the city upon
its present nonpartisan and most effl-
cient basis.
His connection with the owens river
enterprise has been such as to empha-
size the Importance of having him as
a member of the city's governing body
during the next two years while that
great undertaking and its collateral
matter, the development Of electrical
power from the aqueduct, are under
way.
Mr.. Washburn was che of the good
citizens of Los Angeles who visitei
Washington city in the interest of the
owens river matter, and secured the
favorable action Of the government Of
dcials which made the enterprise pos
sible.
1t is also a fact known TO The Her
ala that Mr.. Washburn first suggested
the adoption of that amendment to the
city charter forever prohibiting the city
from conveying to private control the
electrical power that can be developed
from the aqueduct.
Mr.. Washburns acquaintance with
financial matters makes him an ideal
man for chairman of the finance com
mittee Of the council In fact, so well
is he equipped in this respect that 1t
will be impossible to secure from the
list of candidates now before the peo-
pie any other who would be In this
particular so useful to the city.

acter in order If possible to induce the
public to take a wrong view of the
actions and motives of the board of
education. Mayor Alexander would not
stoop to a transaction bearing even a
remote resemblance ito a political trick
or device, especially If such trans
action were to be engaged in at sac
rifice Of FACT. And Mr.. Smith, is a
machine man, which summarizes all
that might be said regarding his dis
qualifications for Office. Los Angeles
has repudiated machine politics and
machine politicians, and will repudiate
them again.
This is a city of civic decency, of
progress, of independence. 1t will not
sacrifice liberty, cleanliness, morality
and thrift for the machine, and will not
imperil its interests by failing to In
dorse and choose again and elect again
the public-spirited citizen who has
served it SO faithfully, so efficiently and
so honestly and so courageously in the
mayoralty.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-04
THE MAYORALTY

MAYOR ALEXANDER has made
MI good. He has given the city a
AiA business mems administration.
He has not played politics. His policies
have been characterized by American
ism. He has consulted the common
good. Without hesitation and in de-
spite of strong pressure he vetoed a
public utilities ordinance that did not
square with his ideas of the rights
of the people.
By some of his newspaper antago-
nsts Mayor Alexander is accused of
playing politics. His actions demon
strate to the satisfaction of any human
being with a competent reasoning fac
ulty that the mayor has consulted pub
lie policies, not politics; that he has
made public interests, and not other
special interests, his care.
The Herald is publishing articles
which show how Mr.. Mushet played

tenance in our midst? Unfortunately,
yes. And it's roots are so firmly in

YELLOW STRAW

NY the Los Angeles newspaper OF the
x badly defeated candidate for may
~ or of New York efforts are being
made by means of a straw vote to In
duce the public to believe there Is a
Mushet boom concealed somewhere in
this city. Readers who remember the
straw vote taken by our contemporary
for the purpose of demonstrating the
popularity of Mayor Arthur c. Harper
during the process of recalling that
discredited and corrupt official will
know how to appreciate the merits Of
the attempt that is being made to
manufacture a Mushet sentiment. The
straw vote reporter has again chosen
the theaters for his place of operation.
The Herald exposed the Hearst organ
during the recai1 campaign when the
agent Of the yellow paper gave an
usher of a Main street theater fifty of
the fake ballots and instructed him to
go into a side room and mark them
all for Harper. Three days later the
man, whom the Examiner was sup
porting despite the disclosures of graft
and protected vice, resigned in dis
grace.
When yellow journalism mixes In
local politics. it has the effect of re.
pelling instead of attracting the sup
port of the people. Americans by this
time are wide awake to the exact value
of yellow Journalism to any community,
and any project or any man indorsed
by the writer's of the Hearst school
as a rule is avoided by the intelli-
gent, self-respecting citizen as care
fully as Hearst himself was avoided

the fact that we also have the very

from the color of his skin the negro
