MACHINE OLIGARCHY

4 SPEAKER at the Appomattox
~ day celebration said it is a re-
IA markably short period from the
time when people cease to be active
in the affairs of government UNI
til they are incapable of discharging
the duties imposed by government, and
no people incapable of self-government
ever long bred a class of statesmen
who were capable of governing for
them. For it is natures everlasting
anathema on oligarchies that recruits
from the walks of the humble and lowly
must be had or else follows a univer-
sal bankruptcy of intellect and char
acter. a people enervated in body and
mind, from whose venal fingers soon
fall the reins of government.
Boss government is autocratic. That
is why boss government is repugnant
to Americansm and is utterly incon-
sistent with the principles and life Of
this republic. Machine government is
ollgarchical That is why machine
government is repugnant to American
ism and utterly inconsistent with the
principles and life of this republic. AS
soon as a government ceases to act
with responsibility to the people, as
soon as it goes to the boss for instruc-
lions, the danger line has been reached.
Machine government has been repu-
dated in Los Angeles. Bossism has
been rebuked. This community will ex-
emplify in good government and in
patriotic achievement the American
liberty it refuses to surrender to politi-
cal boss, corporation boss or any man
ner of Caesar.

MEXICO

A MERBCANS in Mexico now form a
"A considerable factor in the popula-
IA ton and business interests of that
country. The permanent American
population at last account was about
10000, but it is probably now much
greater. 1t is constantly being in
creased. The number given does not
include other settlers who use the
same language as Americans, and, as
a rule, pull together with them in
strange lands.
In addition to the 10000 Americans
there are many Irish, Scotch and Eng
lish settlers. Hence a market for
American goods is being constantly ex-
banded in Mexico. Dealers in many
lines would find it profitable to cater to
the English speaking trade alone. AT
the same time American goods and
styles are finding favor among the
Mexicans, and American consuls ask
American and especially Californian
business houses to bear this in mind
American business houses and fac
tories should make an effort to comply
with Mexican requirements, because,
unless the Republican government by
some frenzied tariff legislation should
embarrass the conduct of business with
Mexico, that country will soon be one
of the largest and best markets in the
world for American goods. Indeed, the
United States by pursuing sound bust
ness policies should soon acquire con-
troll of Mexican trade in clothing, suit
materials, groceries, canned goods,
preserves, dry goods, shoes, hats, hard
ware, agricultural implements, mining
machinery and furniture, and of all
these lines of trading California should
get the principal share.

WOMAN HELPED MAN TO GAIN T
POSSESSION OF HIS RIGHTS

LONG BEACH, April 9.-[Editor Her.
add: Man achieved his victories over
his oppressors, entered on the posses
sion Of his rights" by the strenuous
use of his fists-or thinks to that effect.
He imagined that there was no other
way out
1t was long and bloody struggle,
and he is only partly emancipated. All
this time woman was along, and helped
some, though in the worst fight he had,
that against priestcraft, she was in
distress over his irreverence, called him
a wicked creature, etc. Along with
rights" man has inherited a cumbrous
load of responsibilities that make him
sober and early gray. For fifty years
woman has been clamoring for her
rights" She is entitled to them, and
she has about as many today as she
can manage. The ballot still evades
her, but 1t is on the way. If our sister

the facts touching the life of Christ
Jesus; he was an educated young man
and doubtless was an ambitious fellow;
but he gave up all hope of political and
social preferment. He submitted TO
Imprisonment, to disgrace and to dealt.
for the cause of Jesus. Can we believe
that he gave up all hope or prefer
ment among men in order that ne
might defend the cause of Christ until
the facts led him to conclude tnat
Christ was divine?
This manner of thought leads US to
conclude that beyond all question Jesus
was put to death between two thieves;
that he was buried, that he was resur-
rected and that he assembled, and that
Peter and many others knew these
things to be true. How can any other
conclusion be reached without disre-
garding all reasonable methods or
thought among intelligent men.
The above conclusions, having been
reached. we find satisfaction in believ-
ing that the life of Christ has done
more for the world than that OF any
other man that ever lived on earth. NO
better teacher ever lived. no better
thought was ever uttered, no other
one life has done SO much for mortal
man. The life of Jesus Christ sur
passed all other lives in all that IS or
has been grand and good since tne
world was thrown out in space. A noted
skeptic says Whatever may be the
surprises of the future, the character
and personality of Jesus Christ VIII
never be surpassed"
Regardless of all the doubts and
fears that prevail in the civilized world
let us join in the chorus:
'Tis the grandest theme for mortal tongue
iris the grandest theme that the world eer
sung;
TITS the grandest theme, God cares for man,
Christ died to carry out the plan,
And he will not forsake us.

America.
runner of Elihu Root and John Bar
rett in his desire to build UP trade re-
lations between the pan-American
states. He pointed out how the United
States was large buyer from south
and Central American countries, put
shipped them comparatively little IN
exchange. They were right at the ma
tion's door, yet we were allowing Eu-
rope to supply them with all thelr I'M
ports. 1t was like country merchant
overlooking the opportunity OF selling
the farmers wife a bill of goods IN ex-
change for her butter and eggs. He
might make some profit by buying the
eggs for cash. but he would make much
more by giving her goods In exchange.
The idea impressed President Harri-
son, and he sent message to congress
in which he called attention 10 the iae'
that more than 81 per cent OF the im-
ports coming from South and Central
American states were admitted free OF
duty. and that If sugar were admitted
free, as was then proposed, WOOL Woulu
be about the only important product
those countries sent to the United
States left to pay duty. He thougnt
that the real difficulty in successfully
negotiating reciprocity agreements with
these countries would lie in the fact
that we had given them so much that
we had little left to trade on. But he
was nevertheless in favor of the Blaine
idea, though it did not advocate the
specific Blaine plan of carrying 1t into
effect.
Immediately after Harrison's message
and Blaine's letter were read in the
senate, Eugene Hale, OF MIR. Blaine's
own state, offered an amendment to the
Ill 6fF1rr
for the products of any American ma
ton that would give like concession
to the United States. Blaine was IN
deadly earnest. and wrote another let
ter to Senator Frye, who had succeeded
him in the senate, in which he maze
the celebrated statement that there
was not a line in the Mckinley bill
that would open a market Tor announcer
bushel of American wheat or another
barrel of American pork He also
wrote letter to the mayor of his home
city, declaring that If sugar were placed
on the free list we would be giving a
free market to sos, 100000 worth of inn
ports every year without free market
for a penny's worth of our goods IN
exchange. He was for free sugar. put
he wanted to make it so only on condl-
ton that South and Central America
would open their markets to our ex-
ports to like extent. I'm short" he
incurred shall we pay all cash Tor
what we get from these countries or try
friendly barter in part y
Senator Gibson of Louisiana picked
the Blaine idea to shreds in a remarka-
BILE speech. He pointed out that amy
American nation" either included Cana
da, or else it could not embrace Cuba
and Porto Rico, all of them possessing
the same status as colonies rather than
nations. 1t was intended to include
Cuba and Porto Rico, but not canada.

SALVATION ARMY GIRLS VISIT
SALOONS. TO RESCUE SOULS

LOS ANGELES, April 6.-[Editor
Herald: Replying to the person sign
ing himself consistency" In regard
to girls going into the saloons and col
lecting nickels, this person, whoever
he is, makes the statement that young
girls are sent into saloons collecting
nickels.
Yes, it is. true in one sense. that
girls go there, but they are not COM
PEELED to go at all. They go OF their
own free will, and not only go in there
for collections, but to speak to persons
about their souls. If Consistency
would study up about the Salvation
Army he would find out more than ne
knows, but l would like to ask ques-
ton or two, viz: Consistency" what
do you know about the salvation Army
at all? .
do you know what girfs lie Is
in the Salvation Army?
Do you contributed freely to the SAL
walton Army? TX.

n fact it is easy to see congress re-
"A CARDS the American public as but
so many hewers of wood and drawers

benefit of that order of Republican no.
bility--the protected few. There is
great deal of truth in this remark.
There are only two points at which
1.-The plain people" can appreciate any
changes made in the tariff system.
One is the customers side Of retail

of a pay window. Yet all investiga-
tons into the question are conducted
from the viewpoint of capital invested
and profits!
