GRAFT PROTECTED

~'TION by the Citrus Protective
II league may stave off the danger
- with which the citrus industry is
threatened in the proposed increase
in freight rates. 1t is believed the
action OF the railroads in raising
freight rates will place the lemon in
dustry in a condition worse than that
which existed before congress
strengthened the tariff wall.
A grower is reported to have said:
Coming just at a time when the
lemon industry of the state was in a
way to benefit through the advanced
tariff granted by congress, it is the
height of cruelty for the transporta-
ton companies to take this action.
The increased t; riff permitted US to
compete more successfully with less
desirable fruit that comes from abroad
without raising the price to the con-
sumer. The proposed raise in freight
rates will mean that an advance will
have to be made in the price of all
grades of our lemons to the consumer,
or that the shipper, already dividing
the returns with the transportation
companies. will have to stand the ad-
ditional loss without reaping one iota
of benefit from the customs tariff"
In other words, the railroads propose
to steal the benefit provided for CAL
ifornia industry by protective tariff.
Fine business!
And we suppose high tariff spell
binders will make note of this case
and use it in the next national tariff
campaign for the purpose of Illus
trating the benefcent blessings of
protection to-grafting railroads and
other butters-in.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-17
WEATHER

TOB'S wife told him to cheer up, for
the worst was yet TO come.
- Weather prophets, however, are
not all Jobs comforters, and If we may
believe some of these skilled forecast
ers, the worst of the warm wave is
over California weather is all right.
Never, under any circumstances, is 1t
as disagreeable or as dangerous as
eastern weather. 1t is always a friend,
never an enemy. The heat is never the
scorching heat of the east. Sunstroke
is unknown. California heat is dry
and invigorating. 1t increases physical
strength and conduces to a clear, ac-
curate method of thinking.
Whenever California citizens begin
to think of any problem, the solution
of that problem is in sight.
The bright, genial sunny weather
that is now being enjoyed will add to
the health and happiness of South
Californians. And, let us say, South
California makes a speciality Of the
kind of sunshine which irradiates
orange groves, vineyards and gardens.
Like everything else made in Southern
California, it is slightly superior TO
anything of the kind made anywhere

BAREFAcED IMPUDENCE

NTACHINISTS are trying to make
| N the people of Los Angeles talk
LII respectfully Of the Rump con-
vention planned with the hope it will
| offset the benefits of the primary sys-
TEN of nominating. With as much
graveness and serenity as If it were
| talking of a decorous action, the Rump
organ said yesterday: "At given hour
and place all the Republican voters of
/ the city are invited to meet and take
charge of a caucus meeting, name del
egates to a city convention, WHICH
SHALL RECOMMEND TO THE Vo-
TIERS OF THE CITY A TICKET FOR
THEIR FRANCHISES AT THE AP-
PREACHING PRIMARY ELECTION"
There's barefaeed impudence for you
And the machinlsts through their
newspaper proclaim their contempt and
defiance of the reformed, legal Ameri-
can system of selecting candidates for
office.
1--WE believe that under the old sys-
TEN of convention nominations we
would have had in the main a better
ticket than we can have now"
There is not the slightest shred Of
warrant for holding such a wild and
baseless belief; but the morning ma
chine paper believes because it be-
lieves!
This remarkable critic of a new and
excellent American institution goes on
to say:
"Under the direct primary method 1t
rs necessarily an office seekers game!
It used to be said in the old patriotic
days (sic) that the office should seek
the man and not the man the office.
Under this new fad that is impossible.
1t is the office seeker. chaser, the crib
feeder, the pap-sucker who will get the
office. The office is shackled and
bound to tree like a captive elephant
which cannot move until the boss with
the goad releases him.
Neither can the office bulge It has
nothing to say about the man who
shall fill 1t. He simply chases it, and
If he is the best runner, the loudest
talker, the best promiser and the poor
est performer, he is likely to get there. !"
So 1.-The cats in the cream pot" de-
clares our friend.
We hardly need to call especial at
tention to the self-evident mental at
titude of a newspaper which, like
Ephraim, is so welded to the idols of
a dear dead day of graft, corruption
and railroad ring rule it calmly asks
the people Of this enlightened, modern
community to believe they are not fit
to choose their own candidates for Of
fee. If they won't wait until the ma
chine conventions pick out candidates
for whom the public will be allowed
by the machine leaders to vote, the
country (the machine organ tells
them). will surely Go to the Devil.
Ha! Ha! at is to laugh"

A JAPANESE sCHooLBoY

4 JAPANESE schoolboy, a real one,
u not in the least resembling the
mirth-provoking invention that
Golfers presented to the public, en-
tered into a conversation with a pas
senger on a Los Angeles street car
the other day. 1t was a most interest
ing conversation, brought on by the
fact the schoolboy was carrying an ex-
cellent book on American history.
Il am making special study of
American history" said the Japanese
youth. "Most of the Japanese in this
country are specializing on American
history and principles. We do not
pay any more attention than does the
average American newspaper reader
to what the American people do. 1t is
what they have said that interests us.
Their wisdom will still exist when
nationally they have outlived or for
gotten it, and It is this wisdom we
seek. 1 venture to say that If pres
ent tendencies in this country are not
checked, and If the course of study
now being pursued by many Japanese
students leads to it's logical result,
Japan will be Americanized and Ameri-
cans will have to go to Japan in
order to find American principles in
practice
We assure our readers we have
given the actual. undoctored gist of
what this Japanese scholboy said.
He spoke the truth.
We have already called attention to
the fact 1t was Scotch-Irishman
who wrote the best book on American
institutions that has been published
in modern times: the book that is
being used for the instruction of Ameri-
can boys in American schools and
colleges.
Some day, said our Japanese school,
boy. the Americans may give the Jap
anese a Roland for an oliver by
translating the best books in Japanese
literature, and making American boys
and girls familiar with them.
Until then, the japanese will have
the advantage of knowing all they
and their ancestors knew, ana all the
Americans know and all the ancestors
of the Americans knew.
The educational course of the average
Japanese student today includes
American history and institutions.
Latin and Greek classics, English,
French, German and Spanish languages
and literatures, mathematics, geogra-
ply and modern science.
When the average Japanese is bet
ter educated than the average Ameri-
can, and the japanese nation is bet
ter educated than the American ma
ton, some ypewriter-puneher in the
backwoods will still be printing para
graphs about the racial superiority OF
the Caucasian over the Japanese.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-17
ACTION NECESSARY

T EADING bankers of Los Angeles
and Mayor Alexander are re-
IL ported to be IN favor of emer-
gency fnanciering in order to relieve
the present deplorable situation in
the school bonds system brought about
by men who by the mayor are called
enemies of the CITY,"
Enemies" is the right word. No
more hostile act has ever been COM
mitted against the interests of any
city even in time of war than has been
committed against Los Angeles by
traitors who misused our liberal in
stitutions for the purpose if possible
of preventing the will of the people
from being carried out.
Among the opinions of financiers as
to ways and means of coping with the
difficulty created by the spitework of
the citys foes, that Of Stoddard Jess,
vice president of the First National
bank, is meeting with much approval
in financial circles.
Mr.. Jess has said: "Relief should
be afforded the school board in any
way possible"
Mr.. Jess in an interview made this
important statement:
1T is to be regretted these bonds
were not available Immediately after
the issue was authorized by the voters
at the election in January. They prob
ably WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD
QUICKLY on the 4 per cent basis, but
conditions have changed since then
and the market is not in a condition
to absorb the bonds. Under the cir
eumstances ] think the city is war
ranted in using its sinking fund tc
buy the bonds in so far as It has the
] power"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-17

In curious contrast with the news
from Germany and other sources that
the English were rabidly jealous of the
discovery of the north pole by the
Americans, we find the following in an
English newspaper the London Ex-
press, which, without trace of jeal-
ously and with nothing but applause,
devotes a great deal of space to the
Cook discovery:
Germany jealous. Public opinion in
Germany regards the discovery Of the
north pole by DR.. Cook with certain
amount of skepticism, because every
thing that bears the stamp of Ameri-
can enterprise is viewed with suspicion
in Germany"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-17

Mexican independence was celebrat-
ed with enthusiasm. Americans who
think realize what "slice of luck" for
the United States was the creation of
a friendly republic to the south. 1t
was hardly less lucky than the fact
that there's a kindred country to the
north. If Canada had been Russian or
French, there would be little hope of
a United North America. But no one
can say that federation, although 1t
may be distant, is an 'iridescent
dream"
