A HORRIBLE BUSINESS

TN HE shocking death of Eva Swan in
San Francisco, who, after being
4 killed in an illegal operation by
medical ghoul, had her legs cut OIL at
the ankles by the same DR.. Grant Cor
Thompson), who then thrust her body
into a trunk and later buried it to hide
his crime, has revived discussion of the
responsibility of newspapers through
whose advertising columns these hu-
man sharks reach their victims. The
State Medical society deplores the fact
that the laws of the state will not
reach the Hearst newspapers and few
others of their conscienceless kind who
print the advertisements of abor-
tionists.
But section 317 Of the penal code does
make it plain that those who do the
advertising are guilty of a felony and
provides severe penalties. If the Hearst
newspapers have not the decency to
refuse them, and evade legal respon-
sibility through d defect in the law,
the State Medical society can by secur-
ing the enforcement of the law against
the advertisers reduce the criminal
practice to minimum.
The only way the buzzards Of the
medical professiOn--and it is probable
that many of the class are not gradu-
ate physicians-Can get trade is
through newspaper advertising. They
would not dare resort to the mails. for
the postoffice department is more alert
than the state authorities. This sug-
gests the question: If the federal gov
ernment is so alive to its responsibility
in these respects, what possible excuse
can there be for the state government
that fails to prosecute?
The public, too, has duty in this
matter. 1t can refuse to patroniZe
papers that accept this kind of bus-
ness either by advertising in them or
buying them to read Fathers and
mothers ought to think seriously Of
their responsibility not only to society
but to the sons and daughters who are
given the opportunity to read such ad-
vertisements, if any Hearst newspaper
reaches the family table.

THE EARTH's ENTAIL

No matter how we cultivate the land,
Tanning the forest and the prairie free'
No matter how we irriGate the sand.
Making the desert blossom at command
we must always leave the borders of the
sea;
The immeasurable reaches
OF the windy wave-wet beaches
Tho million -mile-long margin OF the sea
No matter how the engineers may toll.
Natures barriers and bulwarks to dety;
No matter how we excavate the spoil
Deforest and denude and waste the soll,
We must always leave the mountains
looming high;
No human effort changes
The horizon rolling ranges
Where the high hills heave and shoulder
to the sky.
When a child may wander safely east or
west,
When the peaceful nations gossip and
agree,
When our homes are set in gardens all at
rest,
And happy lives are long in work loved
We can always leave our labor and go
free;
Free to go and stand alone In.
Free for each to find his own IN
In the everlasting mountains ana the sea

Kansas Scientists Have Discovered the Crouch Germ
A PROPHECY

wv E are of the opinion that
w when this diabolical murder
w has been sifted to the bot
tom and the murderers apprehend-
end it will be found that the guilty
parties are fiendish cranks OF the
anarchistic type, who have become
insane upon the subject of human
rights and privileges, and who are
more likely to be foreigners than
citizens of our own country.
The Coalinga Times, which ex-
presses the above sentiment with re-
gard to the great crime and disaster
of last week, voices the opinion OF
large number of people who have hes-
itated in justice to lay the blame at
anv specific door, That the deed was
so un-American ds to preclude belleL
that it could be done by one who mas
lived for any length of time under the
influence of our institutions makes the
suspicion of foreign influence plausible.
But that an elaborate plot, charac-
terized by Satanic craft, existed does
not longer seem to admit of any doubt.
That the guilty are anarchistic is pos
tive. Their act proclaims 1t. That
thew are insane is true to the extent
that such deviltry could not be har-
bored and put into effect by normal
minds; but it is not a form of mental
ity that can be pleaded as defense or
palliation.
That the secrets of the plotted crime
were known to few is as certain as
ANYTHING humanity reasoned out can
be. No criminals as crafty as these
are shown to have been ever committed
the monumental folly of intrusting
their plans to others than themselves.
Such a course would mean absolute
certainty of exposure, for there is no
considerable body of men on the race
of the earth that could hold within
their breasts the knowledge even long
enough for the fends to escape, or even
to let them carry out their plot.
The prophecy of the Coalinga paper
as to what the truth will reveal is in
teresting and worth remembering to
compare with the revelations soon eX-
peCted.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-07

There is no probability that these

The Euro can police system is not

il is possible to supervise the sale OF
explosives and firearms precisely as we
supervise the sale of poisons, which Is
much less dangerous.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
One may not agree with General
Otis in his manner of conducting his

in a number of particulars, but Mr.

The mining congress at its meetihs
at Los Angeles passed a strong reso-
luton urging the government to take
immediate action to recover from the
land grant roads all lands found to
contain minerals other than coal anu
iron.
The particular lands meant, altnough
not named. were the oil-bearing lands
of the Southern Pacific company IN
this state.
The legal ground for recovery Is the
provision in the grant that no land
should be included which contained
any minerals other than coal or iron
Since these lands are found 10 pe on on
bearing, they do not belong 10 the
Southern Pacific company.
If by any legal means they can pc
recovered, 1t should be done. Ihe
story of the requirement of its south
ern land grant by the Southern Paclnc
railroad is one of intrigue, false pre-
lenses and fraud and their disposition
has been accompanied by ruthless op-
preston. :.
The grant was originally made TO as
sist competing road, and the Soutn-
ern Pacific management changed IL
into n non competing road.
1t was intended that the land shouiu

mum price--S2.50 per acre-and the

MASCULINE AND FEMININE

Editor Herald: The tragedy OF an
enraged husband killing his wife's
paramour, who from the evidence
loved this woman with passion which
withstood the grim ravages of thirty
three years, calls forth strange and
peculiar phase in the general makeup
of women's character. 1t proves that
there is an unbridgable gulf be-
tween the sexes; two separate
worlds, one in which lives and moves
the powerful masculine mind, the other
the subtle feminine. So strangely is
the feminine mind constituted as COM
pared with the masculine that oddly
enough a woman can love her husband
as truly from her idea of truth and
Observation-Disclosures the fact that
she may have one or two lovers-as
the day when she swore her troth to
him. 1t would seem that women in
the glorious moments of true love as
cend in a storm of ecstasy to the very
heights of supreme love, plant there
on the golden banner of their insplra-
tions, and then are satisfied to descend,
and apparently find consolation and
atonement in gazing up at the
heights, and in their own mind feel
they were up there, and their banners
are still waving, although unseen by
the masculine.

A DYNAsTY's FALL

T o THOSE who have followed af-
fairs in Portugal, even casually,
II the fall of the Bragan2a dynasty
is no surprise. On top of other causes
that had been long filling the body
polite full of fostering sores was the
personal unpopularity of the former
king, Carlos, who was assassinated in
1908, and whom his subjects referred
to as the "fat hog;" of the boy king
Manuel, who succeeded him, and the
entire royal family. The fabric of the
dynasty had been held together for a
long time only by the power OF pelf-
the persistent determination of the
royals and mobiles to live in luxury as
of old from the earnings of the poorer
classes.
1t was only a matter of time before
such fabric should rip in its weak
seams. Anarchy thrived on the dis
content caused by the proHigacy and
corruption of the idle rich, whose
patriotism was limited to desire to
perpetuate their privileges. How far
the revolutionary societies extended
among the populace is evident from
the sedition in the army and navy.
The clerical question, as in Spain and
France, added its share to the boiling
pot.
Like the Spanish, the Portuguese are
once virile race gone pretty much to
seed. Their very virtues led to their
downfall. From the time Columbus
set sail from Isabella's court to find
a new land of fabulous gold deposits,
and even before, the spirit of adven
ture seized upon the people. Success
crowned many of the voyages. Flotil-
las of ships returned with precious
cargoes and news of dependencies an
nexed Like Spain, Portugal came to
see prosperity in gold and colonies to
exploit instead of in honest labor and
the cultivation of the land.
Both countries thrived for a long
time from the influx of easy wealth,
but it played hayoc with the national
character. OnlyNnow, when misfor-
tune has piled up to their undoing, are
they reawakening to the fact that
prosperity based on anything but hon
est work, invention and proficiency in
the arts is fictitious. For the Portu
guese dynasty it is too late; for Por-
tugal, the real Portugal and for the
real Spain, perhaps not
The peculiar Latin temperament,
made what it is in this generation by
the circumstances here recited, does
not give much hope of anything ap
preaching Anglo-German standards
for a long while. 1t remains to be
seen whether enough stamina is left
in the Portuguese character to work
out it's slow salvation.
Local interest in the fall of the
dynasty is sharpened by the fact that
the United States minister in Lisbon
is Henry T. Gage of Los Angeles. He
is to be congratulated on Wednesdays
coup d'etat. AS minister Of a new
and ambitious republic he can be of
far more service than as a formal
agent of our interests in an effete and
dying monarchy.
